Otterbox Commuter case for non-US HD2 now available!

Otterbox are now listing a Commuter case for Euro spec HD2 on their website
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-cases/htc-hd2-cases/htc-hd2-commuter-series-case-international/
Been waiting for months for this, just ordered one at $48 incl priority international shipping. I'll let you know what it's like when it arrives!
Updated 27/5 10.42GMT
Well, ordered it on Tuesday and it arrived by FedEx this morning in Yorkshire - that is bloody quick! It is now fitted and looks every bit as good as the pictures.
Basically it is a three piece kit:
Part 1 - Excellent quality screen protector (but why oh why can I never get one on without one piece of dust stuck under it!)
Part 2 - Heavy duty silicone inner skin - this has the nice hard key cover, volume key cover and usb/jack cover and fits beautifully
Part 3 - High impact outer cover - clips in place over the silicone skin in the same way as your HD2 battery cover clips on to the phone.
To answer any concers about how easy it would be to do a soft reset if your phone has completely frozen I have just timed how long it takes to remove the case and it took under 7 seconds! Basically you just press the case backwards off the phone using your thumbs on the top wraparound section of the outer case and the phone pops straight out of outer and inner skins in one go. It took nearly as long to push it out of the Krussell case I had it in before!
The hardware keys all function perfectly through the silicone over-buttons, although it takes a few presses to get used to the different feel of using the buttons and you may have to press very slightly harder (although I may just be imagining that!).
The camera lense, speaker and flash are very well protected by the ridge feature on the hard skin.
My only concern is how much screen protection it will offer. The case does sit about 1.5mm proud of the screen all round so as far as falling on flat surfaces go it will be fine, but if anything protrudes into the screen area it won't really help. That said I am very happy with it.
Overall this is by far the best quality protection I have seen for the HD2 and well worth the $34. The design, finish and functionality is superb and the materials are top quality (it feels great in your hand). Now if only they did a belt clip for it like their iPhone cases...
AND NOW THEY DO! Having only had my Commuter case for a couple of weeks, and only having bought it because their customer service guy told me they had no info on a forthcoming Defender case for the HD2 they have now released it (for non-US for now) - AAAARGH! So I've just spent another $65 including shipping to get one. With any luck it will be here by the weekend and I'll post a review of it too!
DEFENDER CASE REVIEW IN THIS POST - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6772033&postcount=46

Oh crap... you just put my hopes up. I thought it would be an otterbox case I could use on the motorcycle, but it's not waterproof.
Does such a thing even exist?

Looks nice waiting for your review

I'd imagine you'd just remove the case and do it as normal or once it's on is it difficult to get back off? It's hard to tell from the pictures.
I'm waiting for the review before I get one though.
Would be interesting to know how hot the phone gets when charging with this thing on too.

it's an option when phone is not totally dead, but what if it's not responding to anything?
I'm afraid there is a possibility to scratch the corners when putting on and taking off this case

I can confirm, because I have this issue with my Capdase Alumor on my HD2. If I need to reboot, I have to remove the case, and it's not a pleasure party....
Fortunately, I never scratch the screen, but the silicone case corner did suffer a little.

you know you guys can search these forums and find a soft reset shortcut.
All I do is swipe up on my home tab and select the icon (it is installed automatically and all you have to do is make it a quicklink). It's in cab form so you can uninstall. I got it recently, but I do not know where.

we know that, but what if the phone is not responding to any of your actions? and this happens somtimes and the only way to reset is to push the red button.

Review now in first post

Great review Dunc001!
I just have one question. Do you notice if the phone gets excessively hot while charging with the case on? I have mine on charge throughout the day a lot as I use it as my mp3 player in the office and I've noticed that the phone plays up when it gets too hot and often requires a soft reset.

looks damn good. nice find. could You tell us what was total price in pounds? (including postage)

Real photos, please

HTC 2150 + Dremel + VZW Red Case

I got my HTC 2150mAH battery today from VZW. It's HUGE, but I've been thinking about how to make it more streamlined since I heard about it. Enter my dremel work.
Dremel out the rear of the VZW snap case to match the bulge on the new battery door. Sand it down smooth, and here you have it. It's pretty nice feeling, and it doesn't bulge out too much. It's still bulkier than before, however if you had a protective case already it isn't much of a difference.
Now, my phone looks good and holds a charge longer.

NOTE:
Decided to meet some of the demand and offer my modding to you guys.
I will do this on a per request basis for $45 including the case, and $25 if you mail me the case yourself. This includes shipping the case to you (you pay for shipping to me). If I grab the case myself, I simply run to the VZW store and pick on up, and this saves you on shipping to me.
PM me if you want me to do this. Just give me about 5 days or so turnaround time, as I have full time obligations elsewhere.

where did you order this battery? i want one?

Best looking one I've seen yet. You should buy a bunch of those cases and modify them for sale.

At $20-$30 per case, plus the time to modify them it wouldn't be worth it to both buyer and myself. If anyone wants, send me the money and I can do it on a need basis, but I'm not going to stock these.

nice work man!

I did something very similar with mine!!!! I just cut the back out of the black silicone case so the battery sticks through the back...it looks 10x better now and I will be keeping my 2150 because of it. If people want pics of this let me know.

Could you post up some pictures? The red case looks good but I'm wondering if the black case looks even better since the the phone is already black and it might blend in better.

Could you post pics I have the same case, but I'm iffy about getting the battery.

What happens to the antenna in the modified case?
I was told after checking the original back casing that the antenna is part of the backing. Now that the case has been altered did anyone think to look where the antenna is laying now. You have to look very close at the inside of the back of the case to see that the antenna was embedded and camouflaged. How is the reception?

I noticed that there are cheap Dremels on sale online. Is it ok to use a crappy cordless one for this task, since there really isn't much material to remove?

I don't have my other camera at work so I had to use the camera on the phone using a mirror. I'll try to remember to take a better pictures or pictures sometime. It looks nice though, it doesn't look silly anymore.

Verizon is accepting phone orders of the battery. I recieved mine yesterday it feels great not having to run to a charge 49% battery ( 6:57am last charge to now 11:13pm )
that's 16 hours of moderate use and still no urgency to plug it in lmao

No takers on the Antenna question.
Got the new battery and case backing yesterday. Sure enough the antenna is mounted covertly in the center of the back of the case on the inside as is the standard one. So if the stylish have decided to cut away this area what trick was employed to replace the Antenna? How is the reception? Also, the idea of shaving down the power button is neat. Does it have a height limitation? It should have been done in the original design since it can be bumped when inside of a case which will keep initiating the screen power. Battery drain!!!!

that looks badass!!!!

Duh--it didn't even occur to me to just buy a soft case. While it's always fun to play with power tools, this will be easier on the wallet. Can anyone recommend a cheap source to buy a soft/easily altered case?

[Review] Seidio Active Case

Today before lunch, I got in the Seidio Active case with front cover/kickstand. It's much like the Kindle Fire case I had. So I am glad that I now have it protecting my N7.
As you can see it is the black version. All the cutouts are there EXCEPT for the POGO Pins. But I see it as if you are going to use the POGO pins, you HAVE to remove the case to use a POGO device, so I am am ok with covering it up at this time.
The case comes in three parts, the rubber polymer, hard exterior skeleton, and the mounting cover. The rubber does attract dust especially when brand new out of the box lol, but after a while, the dust and debris will get easier to wipe off with your hand. The front cover can be slipped on the back of the case for convenience and IMO added protection. And there is no magnets to speak of. Which is ok, IMO, I'll just use my volume rockers to turn it on, which I do anyway.
If you have any Seidio products on any of your devices, this does not disappoint. All the cutouts are there and the front camera is clear from the rubber exterior as well. Without the front cover, the Nexus 7 is comfy in my hand and i can see gaming on this more and more...if my 4 year old is not hogging it up lol....
To sum it up, the case is what I expected from Seidio and the quality of their cases. I have been a repeat customer for years and I forsee that I may be again when I get my next device, whatever that may be.
Any questions please ask! Here are the pics starting with unboxing without the N7 installed....enjoy!
Posting the pics, I came to the realization that my desk is mighty dusty! I apologize for that in advance ROFL

Thanks for the review.. thinking about picking up one of these too. Is it bulky? Does it add alot of thickness/weight?

I answered those generally in the other Seidio thread but forgot to post the question and answers here, so here it goes:
1. Is it bulky?
Ans: No more bulkier than my Treegloo case. It actually feels thinner than the treegloo and Kindle Fire version IMO, that's without the front cover on the back :cyclops:.
2. Does it add to the thickness/weight?
Ans: It does seem a bit heavier. I think it has to do with the skeleton and rubber combo. But it feels comfortable in the hand because of the rubber exterior IMO. Is it thick? See answer one lol...well if you are coming from a naked N7 then this would be a major step but also major protection IMO.
Hope that helps a bit! :fingers-crossed:

I took some pics showing the difference in thickness (with measurements) with the case and cover part way down this page, also near the bottom I posted the weight of the bare 7, with case and with case/cover.

Is it me, or the case is somewhat "curvy"? Especially in you last picture, it looks like the rubber doesn't make straight lines around the screen.

I see what you mean. Keep in mind I had just put the case on prior in taking pics. As of now the case has "settled" around the device. Ill try to take a comparison pic.

Hmm...looks the same doesn't it? LOL. In the pics I see what you are saying but when looking at it, it looks ok to me lol.

Having a closer look, it looks like there's some barrel distortion with your camera, as even the screen itself isn't fully square. The case is probably fine (and the lines do look smoother in the more recent picture).

Can you use the harder protective back to cover the front of the screen?

Nice. This is definitely on my to buy list. Been waiting for a tough case to come out since I bought it.

Got mine and am not disappointed in the least. Pretty much great in every way. Highly recommended.

I am interested in this case as well. Could someone get a pic of the case and tab side by side laying flat on a desk/table? I'm trying to get a feel for how much thicker it ends up being with the top on it. Thanks

Updated: Seidio Surface/Best Buy Pt Case Review, Pics and Video on how to remove

I purchased my Best Buy Pt case after seeing that it was the same as the Seidio Surface case but cheaper. My reason for buying it was that I want to be able to carry my Note 2 on my belt with a holster. My first impressions of the case were great. It slides on and locks on easily. The phone is very secure in the holster and the holsters clip is very sturdy.
EDIT: This method does work, it took a lot of effort and trying but it finally came off so I made an updated video with how to take it off. Thanks to sleebus.jones for posting it which made me try it again after trying many times before.
sleebus.jones said:
It's really easy to take off, if you follow this little tip.
When you want to take off the case, squeeze on the sides on the part of the case that doesn't have that half-moon thumb grip.(the upper part) With your other hand hold with thumb and middle fingers and push on the half moon with your index finger. Pull and it should come right apart. If it doesn't, push slightly then pull (all the time while squeezing on the top part of the case.)
Saw this trick in another thread, works so good you won't believe it!

I know exactly what you mean. I tried this case on my phone in a BB store (associate talked me into it). It went on very easily, but it was almost impossible to get off. I thought we were going to destroy my phone getting the case off. Crazy thing is that I bought it anyway (because of the price). Hopefully I won't have to take it off very often!

Little tip, try it on with your headphone. Make sure it didn't block you from making a full connection. Main reason I returned mine was because I couldn't and every movement would cause it to pop off.

I did that in the video I posted. Doesn't work for me.
Edit: after trying some more I was finally able to get it off with this method but it took a lot of effort. Once I did it once I put it back together and then tried to do it again and it was really hard again but it seems that after a couple of times it gets a little bit easier. I updated the main post with your quote and also made a video on how to remove it. Thanks!

Quick little update. It was bugging me how loose the belt clip was on my belt so I made a simple quick fix with little rubber sticky strips that came with my air conditioners. Now it doesnt move back and forth on my belt.

M8's case from the package, where to buy?

I got mine from Tmobile, there is no case included in the package, i saw this video and there was a case included. I like it 'coz it has a plug / cover for the usb. Or is there any variant of that?

pretty sure that this case only comes with the international htc ones, so if you are in the United States you will not get it, which is ridiculous

I think it's because we don't the replacement screen in first six months over here, so they give us a free case instead...

Guys, the case delivered with the international version sucks big time. I am using it since release 04.04.14
- It is not close to perfect fit. The handset could come out anytime easily.
- The part for micro-usb and phone jack doesn't close all the way after 3-4 days. I decided to cut that piece to avoid hassle.
- The ruber looks already worn just from putting in my jeans pocket.
Not recommended by any means

Yeah it's not great, definitely not worth paying money for but I'm still glad they included it. I'm still using mine until I can figure out which third party case I want.

Just sold mine on Ebay. Offered to someone on here but the postage to US was around $15 - obviously you can buy a case for that.
On the flip side, had mine since release day and used as a daily driver and not a mark on it.

Aww! I'll pass then

seriously dude, did you have rocks in your pocket or something, or drop it a million times, or leave it on the roof of your car? i find it extremely hard for that to happen to your case from your "jean pockets." not trying to be mean or anything but i think your story about this case is a little farfetched. all the research i've done on this case has been nothing but positive

seriously dude, did you have rocks in your pocket or something, or drop it a million times, or leave it on the roof of your car? i find it extremely hard for that to happen to your case from your "jean pockets." not trying to be mean or anything but i think your story about this case is a little farfetched. all the research i've done on this case has been nothing but positive

I have other friends/colleagues, who have the same problem. It is up to you, if you believe or not. I just wanted to warn other users, who wants to pay for this crap.

I'm sorry to disappoint but my case starts wearing off on the edges too. I only wear jeans and not the tightest ones at that. I never dropped my Phone and i do not have a car. Hence i didn't even leave the phone and case in bright sunlight to heat up or something.

Made a picture if mine few days ago. Here it is.

The case was included in the box for me, as a temporary case, it's fine, but I'd strongly suggest buying a different case if you're going to order one.
I, myself, have ordered a Dot View case, but I'd suggest getting a Spigen or something if you're ordering one.
Here's mine, been in use for a since 27/4, I usually take care of my devices so I'm not sure how it was scratched this much, but that shows how scratch prone it is:

Guys, the case delivered with the international version sucks big time. I am using it since release 04.04.14
- It is not close to perfect fit. The handset could come out anytime easily.
- The part for micro-usb and phone jack doesn't close all the way after 3-4 days. I decided to cut that piece to avoid hassle.
- The ruber looks already worn just from putting in my jeans pocket.
Not recommended by any means

I've had mine as long as you have and... what the heck do you do with your device? Either your jeans are too tight and caused all that scuffing or you're doing something else with it because mine looks pretty much the same as it did the day I got it -- and the flap still closes properly.

I've got it on my M8, and its scratched, port covers doesn't close properly, and doesn't slide in and out of pockets very well. Good for a case that comes with the phone but wouldn't recommend buying it if you didn't get it with your phone.

I was rubbing the case against a rock, the only thing i had in mind was to make HTC look bad. You got me, dude! wow...
Anyway, i am using dot view cover now. THAT is indeed something, i can recommend to protect your device. It is a little uncomortable to write with 2 hands though...
