So what is the best "WW3 Ready" case for the HD2 ?
I know for the Iphone we have Otterbox etc, what are the top 3 for the HTC HD2 ?
It needs to protect it from a fall on concrete and look cool.
Thanks !
try this!

In my opinion the best compromise between cool look and good protection is Otterbox.

This morning I have just received my Defender case from Otterbox (a little hacked off with them because I only ordered my Commuter from them three weeks ago because they told me there were no plans to release a Defender - hey ho!) and man is it rugged! Check it out on their website. It is basically a high impact plastic two part inner with built in screen and lens protection (no need for stickons, although I have left my adhesive protector on and the capacitative screen still works perfectly through two layers of protection), plus a full wrapround silicone outer. But forget the crappy feel of cheap skins, this is seriously high quality and wonderfully tactile. And boy does it protect! I decided to throw my HD2 across the office this morning just to test the new case and it just bounced! It comes with a belt clip which the whole phone clips into, so if you don't want to use it you don't have a bulky clip permanently attached to your case. The hardware buttons work perfectly (the outer skin has button pushes moulded in) - they feel more positive than the ones on my commuter case too. There is an easy access flap over the usb and headphone ports so no dust ingress. It does add a lot of bulk to the phone but it looks and feels great. I'm going to hang on to my commuter for when I need my phone to slide neatly into my pocket, but I suspect it will be wearing the Defender most of the time now. It is not cheap but well worth the price to protect a £400+ phone. If you are into active pursuits (or just accident prone) buy this case!

Man, that is some rugged case. Thanks for the review. I can't believe you threw your phone to test it!

My only query with these 'rugged' cases is that I see it more likely for my phone to be dropped in water or get splashed on out in the rain of here Merry Old England or the downpours of India then get run over by a 3 ton forklift (yeah, this is the sort of testing they do!)
So my question would be are the otterboxes water-resistant (not waterproof i.e. can it withstant around 1 minute immersion in water?

For some reason I cannot find the Defender Otterbox anywhere with WW shipping ! It's not even showing up on the otterbox site.
Any ideas ?
btw- The " US " Version means T-Mobile's ?
BTW2- Is T-Mobile's version the only one with 570mb of RAM ?

Takes about 15 seconds to remove the case and 45-50 seconds to put it on as the outer silicone skin needs to be fitted around various tabs and into channels to ensure the case is splashproof.

What is the difference between the cummuter and the defender ? Is the commuter much less protective ?
Also, does the "International Otterbox HD2 Defender" fit the T-Mobile HD2 ?
Defender
commuter is just like rubber skin,, defender has the inner case to protect hd2.. No, the international is only for Telstra & t8585, not us tmobile
Thanks !
So what is the second best protection case available for the T-Mobile after the Defender ? (Seeing that Otterbox dont make Defenders for T-Mob)

Hey guys,
Currently in South America and have not posted a video in a couple of days since I can’t seem to find a decent internet connection to upload, anyways I wanted to take some time to write an overview of all cases I’ve tried out and separate them into groups.
Hard Shell Cases
Incipio Feather – $24.99 – The only complete hard shell case featuring a soft touch coated polycarbonate which snaps onto your device with ease. Protects the majority of the device save for the top and bottom which are slightly exposed. Although a little pricey, it keeps the slim form factor of the device and is comfortable to use. Will provide minimal drop protection and good scratch protection.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwQP5IpLQC8
*Note* - i9020 model only
SGP Valencia - $37.99/$39.99 - Hard shell case covered in premium genuine leather, feels wonderful in hand and adds a lot of cushioning against impacts. The front flap design protects screen when not in use but can be cumbersome otherwise, device fits in snug but the case does add some bulk. Will provide good drop and scratch protection.
Video Review- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avlt6hz-1r0
*Note* - i9020 model and Sprint 4G compatible
PDAir Aluminum Metal Case - $27.99 - Aluminum case with neoprene lining on the inside to provide padding to Nexus S. Choice of materials is top notch, case is a little thick but still manageable, looks good but hinge mechanism could be improved.
Video Review- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg-L-_pyy5g
*Note* - i9020 model only (no word on 4G model compatibility)
Silicone, TPU and Rubber Cases
Rearth Ringke - $16.99 – A silicone case coated in a high quality polymer which repels dust and lint as well as providing a smooth finish. Flexible but still rigid, the case fits tightly and keeps a thin form factor. Cutouts and buttons are all easily accessible. Great value for money and a good option for anyone. Will provide minimal drop protection and good scratch protection.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo9swPPpDVU
*Note* - i9020 model only
SGP Ultra Silke - $19.99 – Featuring a form factor similar to that of the Ringke, SGP’s Ultra Silke only varies in terms of material. Made from high quality silicone, the Silke does not feel as great as the Ringke but still does an admirable job. Silicone is smooth and does not attract dust, best of all, the package includes what I believe to be the highest quality screen protector on the market, definitely a good buy. Will provide minimal drop protection and good scratch protection.
Video Review- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMQz2rN_bSM
*Note* - i9020 and Sprint 4G compatible.
Proporta Mizu Shell - approx. 32$ – Another case that resembles the form factor of the Ringke and Silke, made fully of TPU, the Mizu Shell wraps around the device tightly, preventing dust/debris from entering. Although almost twice the price of the Ringke, the Mizu shell is still a fantastic case and will offer above average protection, cushioning your device if you were to drop out. The only negative on the case is the fingerprints/oils that show up on the back after extended usage.
Video Review- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw-DUqeQi-k
*Note* - i9020 compatible, no word on others
Hybrid Cases
Case-Mate Pop - $34.99 – Comprised of a hard, glossy plastic wrapped around silicone rubber, the Pop seems to be the most popular case on the market, little pricey though. Feel and grip on the case are superb, while the plastic tends to scratch up a little, you won’t be disappointed with the overall protection as this is the slimmest of the hybrid cases and still manages to provide a tight fit, good drop and scratch protection.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4auzR3OVB8
*Note* - i9020 model and Sprint 4G compatible.
Seidio Innocase Active X - $29.99 – A two piece case made up of a soft inner silicone layer encased by a soft touch plastic spine. Not a fan of the quality of the silicone as it tends to pick up dust and lint and is somewhat stretchy, however the spine remedies that by holding it tightly in place. Adds some thickness but provides good protection. Decent choice overall.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqYkfu93hmo
*Note* - i9020 and Sprint 4G compatible.
Trident Cyclops – $34.95 – Best protection available for your device, no questions asked. Two piece plastic case with a built in screen protector is wrapped by a silicone bumper that adds grip and even more added drop protection around the corners. Only downside is the bulk and thickness of the case, if you can handle it you’ll be pleased.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MenxwxVixGM
*Note* - i9020 and Sprint 4G compatible.
Skins/Screen Shields
BodyGuardz - $24.95 – Thin, clear membranes that cover your device, providing only scratch protection. The beauty of this is it adds virtually no bulk but your device is still protected from dirt, debris and scratches. Pack comes with 2 sets (2 screen shield, 2 backs) so good value for me, available in both Dry Apply and Wet Apply models.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r71OlL22fYU
*Note* - i9020 and Sprint 4G compatible.
Gelaskins - $14.95 – Made from 3M Printing material, Gelaskins follow the same idea as BodyGuardz but add uniqueness and design in the form of the printed artwork. A little thicker than BodyGuardz but still keeps a thin form factor. Can be removed and reused at a later date.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96d_Ti-zbGU
*Note* - i9020 only
SGP Ultra Optics - $15.99 – High quality screen shield offering an anti-fingerprint coating without affecting screen quality. Extremely easy to apply and adds a smooth feel when using the display. Only downside is the slightly squeak heard when using it, nothing major. 2 in a pack so you can save a spare.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDOswgrYuP0
*Note* - i9020 and Sprint 4G compatible
Overall, my favorites are the Case-Mate Pop and Rearth Ringke for cases, and I always use the SGP Ultra Optics as my screen protector. I switch between a lot of them though, depending on what I'm doing. However up to now I haven't found a case that is terrible, so by choosing any of the ones above you most likely won't be disappointed.
Edit- After trying out the Proporta Mizu Shell, I've decided to add it onto my Top 3 cases - it is relatively slim, stylish and adds good protection.
thanks for review, i was on the hunt for a case and this will help me choose one
Wow, nice write up. I am using the 6 dollar one from amazon right now, but will be checking some of those out.
Glad to help guys!
It's been mentioned in a couple of videos that the trident cyclops leaves a noticeable gap between the protector and the phone due to the curved screen. The trident aegis with a good stick on screen protector might be a better recommendation. Plus, it's 5 dollars cheaper. I'll post a review once mine arrives.

Thanks for letting me know, I'm going by what I've read on forums + manufacturers.
Does the silicone on the Pop case start to get nasty after a week or so? I had one for my Thunderbolt and it started to peel/crack. Got it replaced twice and finally my money back.
A good cheap silicone case for the Nexus S is the Amzer Jelly case. Usually doesn't go for more than $8-$10. Resists dust pretty well, but like all silicone cases there is noticeable flimsiness on the sides. Dust does get inside the case and on the tiny crevices on the bezel of the phone. The texture of the case makes it very good for holding while the smooth backing allows it to slide in and out of a pocket easily. The buttons are responsive and give a click sound when being pressed. I combine this with a Zagg shield for the screen protection. All in all, a good cheap purchase till I can find a better case (which is probably the Trident one that I ordered).

The silicone on the lip does tend to wear off a little but it's nothing major, it's just a minor cosmetic issue.

Gonna have to pass then. At $35, it shouldnt have that issue. Its a well known issue too.
any one has any idea whether the barely there case by case mate is gonna be available any time soon. im a fan of those.
Went to Fry's to buy the Case Mate Pop! today at lunch. The case is awesome! Fits great, power button is very responsive and overall much better than the Sprint Black TPU case.
I hope the silicon doesn't peel/crack and get nasty like mentioned! If it does though I will continue getting replacements as the case is awesome!

I think i have found an alternative to the Otterbox Defender Series. It's the Seidio Convert (use to be the Rugged series)
Basically it's a Seidio Active X on top of a Seidio Surface with a holster. 3 layers of protection. I ordered mine from ebay for 50$. I can't post link yet so make a search on google for Seidio Convert Nexus S and you'll find it.

Disclaimer: I have been using this case for 1 month now, and have tested it through many real life situations. Lots of thanks to UAG for sending me this case to review.
Personally I don't use cases on my phones. The problem with cases on phones is that it takes away from the whole experience and design, and it does not feel necessary at all to have one on my phone. That prospect changed when I received my HTC One M8 this year. The brushed aluminum and premium design makes this phone feel like it can be dropped and damaged very quickly. I have dropped my HTC One M8 a plethora of times and I feel grateful to have had this case on to protect it from all my incidents.
This case has many beneficial and not so great design elements about it. First off I appreciate how this case protects my phone without giving a lot of bulk. As well all the buttons still having their functionality, which is a plus, and the case has a raised lip around the phone if you want to lay it onto a table. However with this case, I find ergonomics to be an issue as well as how slippery it is. I find myself dropping my phone more due to the slippery case and Sony Xperia z2 like ergonomics which isn't very pleasant. Last complaint is that the IR blaster functionality is hit or miss. I found myself always taking off my case due to this problem when controlling my TV. I don't know if this is a faulty case, but I would have wished it worked better.
I cannot complain with the price of this case though. For only 35$ and free international shipping, this is a steal, plus they ship with FedEx which is convenient for consumers. Compared to other brands such as otterbox and lifeproof this case is almost half their price, as well as giving you the same amount of protection with their military drop standard compliant ( MIL-STD810G - 546.6).
Bottom line is this case is a bang for your buck, it gives you great protection without the bulk and functionality loss. Although I wished this case was less slippery on tables and in the hand, as well as having some better ergonomics that isn't in the shape of a square (Curved back please?).
This case receives a 8/10 for me in this review.

If you think the UAG case is slick then the spigen would be unusable. It like holding a ice cube. You might try the supcase but honestly the UAG is one of the easier to hold onto cases.
Thanks for pointing that out. I had previously owned a casemate before this and it had no problems whatsoever. It also had a curved back giving superior ergonomics than the square shape of the UAG case.
I have had UAG cases on all my devices since the iPhone 4. I love them and now that I have a M8 I had to get the clear one. It's absolutely amazing and has great protection. I had a LG G3 before this device and of course UAG doesn't support that phone so it feels great to finally have that protection without all the bulk.
I haven't tried the case mate. Happy with the Uag. Really like how it's beveled so both the front and pack don't touch the surface. The spigen is a good looking case but it's dangerous in terms of trying to hold onto it. Supcase is kind of in between the two.

It survived my phone 4 to 5 times
Bought it...Waiting now ..I have spigen case..will compare and tell here is it worth 1/4th the price of original(spigen can be bought close to 800 INR)???
I thought to myself that the case looks familiar, and my thought is correct. It's the case I've had for almost as long as I can remember, and while I wouldn't say it withstand a comparative check against a Spigen, it's still a dang nice case. I bought mine off a Chinese website for $9 and I can say it's serviceable.
I've installed it for about four months or so, if memory serves me correct and it has protected the device from countless of falls to wooden floors (don't want to test on a concrete because that'd be a bad idea).
Photos attached, sorry for the horrible lighting of the photos.
I'd rather break my phone than wear a case like that.
I wear thin plastic transparrent (nillkin nature) cases or the original karbon one.
I keep my phone usable and stylish, wearing those big spigin-like cases absolutely destroys the phone's desing any my usability.
I have 1+3 for about 9 months and nothing happened.
but every day i enjoy the thinness and looks of my phone.
carbon fiber "design" isn't carbon fiber
Literal copy and paste of the Spigen, which I'm using as we speak. Its durable I won't doubt that but you need to change the design or something.
I have some questions about the Seidio Cases. Just need some clarification
1) For Surface or Dilex cases, can both cases evenly lay dead flat on table? According to the images on the company website, it cannot cuz of the kickstand is sticking out at the back; so it wobbles on the table.
2) For Surface, Dilex, and Dilex Kryptek, hows the hand feel? Smooth / silicon glossy, rubbery, or Matte? Can't tell from the company photos.
3) Whitestone friendly? which model?
Its a expensive case but i heard good reviews about and about to pull the trigger. Thanks a reply.
I haven't had a Seidio case since the og HTC Evo. The design has changed a bit since then, but from what I remember, the black had a nice matte finish, the other colors had a semi gloss sheen to them. I wasn't a fan of the cutouts for the power and volume buttons as they were a bit too recessed. I saw the new executive case online and was tempted to check it out, but for the price (and grip) I've opted to stick with my Speck Presidio Grip case instead (they run for about $30 on Amazon right now).
The Seido holdster is my favorite.. Used the 2 part case for Note 4 & 5 but stopped when I found a thin bumper case that came off / easier. Case worked even for my motorcycle Seido model mount... But at $36 for combo not happy.. Went through 4 or 5 holsters over the years
Theres another thread on here with reports about the Note 8 Seidio cases and its not good news. I have the dilex version and not a fan. Its OK and I'll live with it, just not as happy with it as I've been with them over the years. I am a Seidio fan for life and been using Seidio cases since the OG Evo.
I had a Seidio case with My HTC EVO 4G and ever since that phone I have used samsung phones and found that I like the Zero Lemon products better until now, That massive battery case for the note 8 from Zero Lemon is ugly as it can get but I want the battery capacity it has.
