are you talking about the pouches? I don't see any cases
Finding a case for the focus in Canada is especially hard haha. Does anyone know if any Rogers stores have any yet? I got mine off the Rogers site and know they're not available in stores yet.

Those are pouches, the case he is talking about is always on his phone.
There are a few cases on the AT&T website now. There is the Body Glove case that doesn't have cutouts for the buttons. It's ashame since I have the Body Glove case on my Capitivate and it's perfect.
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...56&q_manufacturer=samsung&q_model=prod4900501
There is also a Case-Mate case:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...88&q_manufacturer=samsung&q_model=prod4900501
It looks nice but $35.00 is pretty pricey.
There is an Incipio case which looks interesting:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...58&q_manufacturer=samsung&q_model=prod4900501
Has anybody tried this case yet?
Here is the same incipio case:
http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Fo...-Focus-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
Same price as AT&T... $29.99
Has anyone picked one up yet?

The incipio looks nice. Wonder if the local AT&T store has it yet so if I don't like it I can return it.
the incipio case is the one i have... its ok, if the sides came up over the top edge a little more it would protect the screen but i suppose it would also change the feel of the phone substantially. Additionally the camera button is awkward to use with the case on. That said, it removes easily (but wont fall off) and appears to do an adequate job of protecting the back.
For people with the Incipio cases, does it cover the front at all? I'm looking to get the InvisibleShield too an am worried it may cause issues with how it fits.
The Incipio case is nice, but it does not cover the display at all. From past experience with InvisibleShield, assuming it only covers the glass on the display, the two should work fine together.
Excellent. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Im returning mine. The fitment is sub par... you can see the gap by just looking into the opening for the power button.
I'm gonna hold out for a good case. I'm waiting on Speck, Otterbox, or a Case Mate Tough case to provide a good quality and protective case.
focus case
Im having the same problem finding a good focus case. I'm currently waiting on my replacement phone to come in because my first one already got dropped and busted. It fell flat on its face no more that two feet off the side of my couch and the glass screen cracked in half. I was leaning towards the incipio case but im thinking it really needs to protect the screen, and i dont think a screen shield would do anything to help break the impact of a fall.
It just blows that of the few cases that are out there, most are out of stock / not available yet, and even more are just crappy cases.
I just got my Incipio Feather case. I like it, though I am also ordering a screen protector.
Honestly, i would like to know who makes some of these ridiculous decisions. Who decided to go to market with these 3 cases for a new phone, which is one of ATT's flag ships for a brand new OS. One is pretty much just cosmetic and as many have said, fits poorly. The second is practically a joke, which causes nothing but problems with the hardware keys. And the third is actually pretty nice, except for the fact that it's red! and not even a true red, but a "verges on the edge of pink" red. not that there aren't people who like red or whatever shade of red the case happens to be - i'm sure there are; however, if the case had been black or dark gray, it would've sold far more units instead of still being on the shelf in every store (at least where i live, anyways.)

They've gotten good reviews on this forum.
I ordered one last week.
my bad for posting something that was already up i didn't know this was already a subject elsewhere i figured since the title said "thin, snug, silicone cover" he was referring to the silicone cases not the gel resin type cases thanx a lot though you guys have reassured my purchase.
I've got this exact one, and love it. The protectors and case rule.
Good case. I got the smoked black. Thinking of getting another one. Maybe the gray/clear colored.
My friend didn't even noticed there is a skin on the Magic because it fit nicely on it
i got 2 they are the dogs danglies!
ET
I bought a black and clear.
The case itself is pretty nice, but there are a couple of problems IMO:
1) The case covers the volume rocker, so it is difficult to adjust the volume
2) The patter is something that I don't particularly like.
Other than that, it provides excellent protection with little bulk. The screen protector that comes with it is also nice.
Just got mine on Thursday and I'm really happy with it. It was much better than the soft rubber HTC one I had. Fit very well with minimal overlap on top, as compared to the HTC one, and gives extra grip vs no cover. It does not have a cutout where the volume is, but you can press the buttons even though its covered.
I purchased 2 of them as well. They are the best I have found but I ultimately quit using them. They just add to much bulk to the phone. I wish they were thinner. I am looking for something like the Incipio Feather or the Case-Mate Barely There for this phone. If anyone finds something like that, let me know.
Just received my 2 that i ordered on ebay..these by far are the best cases for the mytouch....the quality and materials are great...fits like a glove and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all...i love it!
amazing cases. worth the 10 bucks I spent for 2
I like the clear one I ordered, but it turned blue from getting wet in the rain and then being put in my jeans pocket =(
I have the black one. I've had the case for just as long as I had the phone and I can say that it is GREAT. it's silicon, but not to soft like those blackberry skins. I've dropped it from about 3 feet (off a table) and it didn't have a scratch on it
Has anybody with a white MT3G used it with the clear cover yet? I just want to know how the phone looks with it on. Some user pics would be nice.
I used the clear one, and it looked great. However, as I said before, it turned blue b/c it got wet in the rain and then I put it in my jeans pocket...

So what shell/cases are available for the HTC Droid Incredible? I pre-ordered the phone last night from Verizon, but the cases were sold out. I'm looking for a slim-fit shell/case that doesn't add any bulk to the phone, but protects the screen and casing. I will buy two separate accessories if need be. I want to be able to buy this before the phone arrives so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Uhm... Not being rude but.. The only cases sold out on verizon are the lame pouches and the rubber skins. The "Slim Fit Shell/Case" you want is... well... still there. Do a search on their site for Incredible and its called the Shell Holster Combo.
Where do you recommend getting a case from then? I would want a snap on cover like this one: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12061

Yeah I bought that and I bought the clear case rkaplins posted. Zagg is taking forever to ship my screen protector though. I'm going to receive my incredible today via fedex and I would have liked to have put the screen protector on before I started abusing the phone, but oh well.
received my shell holster combo and screen protectors yesterday from verizon and my incredible will be here tomorrow. I should just drive to memphis and get it early at the fedex distribution center. but that would be kinda crazy.
Shell/holster screen protector
I got the screen protector and shell holster combo. Works great, not much extra bulk (maybe 1-2mm on the back side)

I picked up the red/black shell from Verizon as a temp solution. Once the extd battery comes out it won't fit so off it goes.
I got this case from HandHeldItems.com It was only $5.99 (normally $15.99) It really fits well and will definitely help if I ever drop this thing.
And as you can see, the camera is well protected when setting the phone on its back. Hope this helps!

actually it should, you can use the red/black gradient case without the actual battery back for the incredible snapped on, you can have it removed entirely, which frees up more than enough room to fit the extended battery (this could be why the back was designed in this manner, besides the fact that because of this design we can have snap on cases, that fit snug and make the phone feel more solid

I just tried this with the red/black gradient case, and I'd be worried about gunk getting in there. It's a bit loose (can feel it bounce around), and you also lose one of the metal rings around the stereo jack, which may cause some issues as well (not too sure what this does, but it's attached to the back part of the cover. Maybe I misunderstood, but that's my .02.
those vertical snap 2gether cases in my experience r crap they nvr stay on very well that one kinda looks like that type to me
I have my eyes on the Seidio combo shown here too(sometimes you just can't put it in your pocket):
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hlcsr3hddn-rd.htm
I ordered that case from seidio as well as some screen protectors. I must say that, though kind of expensive, they are great quality. I like the feel the case gives to the phone and the case is very thin not adding much bulk at all.
I just picked up the Scosche case from a TMobile store.. I had to hunt around for it, most stores only had the Incipio case. A warning on that one, do not buy the incipio case, the tab that acts as a stand is held in by 2 very tiny plastic nubs and mine broke within 1 hour of owning it.
On to the review!

The case is extremely well built on the inside and outside, the leather is wrapped around a very sturdy frame. The case attaches to the Galaxy Tab at two main points on the top and bottom. It sort of hugs the tab, it feels extremeley secure, and no amount of shaking could free my tab from the case. All of the buttons/ports are open and every corner is cusioned from drops.
The case features a very unique method of standing up, that I find superior to any case I've tried thus far. Because the corners aren't secured to the case, the case can piviot around the device allowing the tab to sit within the grooves on the top cover. This allows it to have 3 levels of orientation, the back groove, the front grove and against the latch. The latter is preferred for typing on the device, as it places the tab at just the right angle. While angled, the device is very secure, and not wobbly at all.
There are two advantages of this case style over other cases.. one the top cover is hidden under the device while in use, and the other is that the angle can be changed, unlike most flip-out tab covers.
Finally, the case closes by 'hugging' the device in much the same way the case grips the device, there is almost no chance the case can come open accidentally.
That's all folks, if you'd like more pictures let me know! I hope this is helpful for anyone looking for a case. Right now I believe it is only available at TMo for $50. I would give it a look before spending $70+ on a similar case.
I have this case as well and love it!..I have the black leather one...They didn't have the white or carbon fiber one in stock..I've had it for almost 2 weeks and just love this case...wish I bought one for my ipad instead of the apple case!

Sent from my Galaxy Tab
azhad, can you comment on the signal loss you are seeing with the zenus? I have one on the way and will be very disappointed if it impacts my tabs performance. Im currently using the verizon version of the schosche case. Great feel of the leather and very slim. Ill keep using it if the zenus is a bust

How well does it do the flipping the front cover all the way over trick, for compact one-handed use? Kinda looks like that rigid clasp might be a bit of a problem.
Got a very similar or the same case from the verizon store only difference it came without the Scosche name on the outside , im very happy with it also.
Good review, I totally agree. There's nothing like a well thought out/designed accessory and this is one of them.

I have this case and when the cover is flipped back the little nubbin that serves as a latch actually rests nicely on my middle finger while reading one handed. It's perfectly comfortable.
For those interested, Boxwave appears to have the exact same design except in a carbon fiber type pattern. You can view it boxware dot come. Sorry can't post links yet.
I think this one is a little cheaper as well.

anybody know where I can get one that ships internationally? This is the casing I'm looking for!
There are 2 places you can get a clone of this from.
1. There is a clone on ebay. Here is a link to it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Screen-Protecto...456822?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5196afd576
2. Handhelditems.com They also have a clone but this one has the carbon fiber look. I've ordered from here and they shipped quick. They list as shipping internationally as well.
http://www.handhelditems.com/luxury...axy-black-free-screen-protector-p-154711.html
Good luck.
Thanks! I also found out that Viva has the exact same design casing (just like Boxwave, Scosche and the clones you have mentioned) and they are sold locally in Singapore.
So I would check that out, and if it's not too expensive I would get that for immediate availability otherwise I will order from hk/ebay.

Yes, I use a Sprint tab, they all have the same dimensions.
Was out shopping today and figured I'd check the cases in each of the carriers, ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint. I saw this case in Verizon and T-Mobile (Sprint and ATT didn't have any) and although they were same configuration the leather was vastly different. The T-Mobile stored carried the official Scosche version and the leather was real nice. Soft and smooth. Definitely felt like a quality product. The Verizon did not have the Scosche logo and felt cheap; was definitely a knock-off and you could easily tell. Those looking for this style case should definitely get it from T-Mobile. Just figured I mentioned it as this case is a little pricey and you want to ensure you get your moneys worth.
Does anybody know of a decent hard or soft plastic cover for the Defy that would cover a little of the front (my current one only covers the sides) so that if it lies face down on a table, the screen would not touch the table (there is some protusion in my current one so this may in reality not happen very easily but a better solution would be appreciated for sure)?

personally, i use a case because in certain situations i want the phone to be more visible in case i put it down (i use my phone for navigation whilst out geocaching) and for that reason i only have the bright orange case on the phone whilst indulging in outdoor pursuits.
regardless of costs i like the increased reliability - if i drop the phone and it breaks i would be without a phone for x amount of time. the case can prevent that happening.

The case I have is the amzer tpu. It looks just like higgsy's. It has a lip on the front that would prevent the screen from contacting a flat surface, but just barely.
Picked up the same case as Higgsy if I'm not mistaken. Happy with the purchase.. I bought the set that came with a screen protector which was an utter pain to put on. After about half an hour I gave up and settled for that one bubble by the side - at least it wasn't on the screen
My one gripe is that the case covers the volume rocker so it can be tough to press it without digging your nail in.
Not sure why people keep claiming this phone is rugged. More than that the Droids and iPhone maybe, but nowhere near 810F mil spec (see Motorola i1 for that).
As far a a case...I'm a big fan of the Otterbox Commuter case, as it is a soft gel case which then fits into a harder outer shell.
Very sleek and lifts the front up as OP requested.
Only issue I have with it is that it does not have a belt clip. Nite Ize solved that problem fairly well though.
Looks good but 35USD before shipping is excessive for a case, IMHO
Agreed, they are very proud of their product.
One note, for those interested...T-Mobile also sells the Otterbox. They are in T-Mobile boxes, and not advertised as such, but the case itself still has the Otterbox branding on the back of the case.
I say this, as they occasionally go on sale through T-Mobile & T-Mobile stores and because you can often find them on E-Bay for quite a bit less.
Ever tried the case from otterbox.com? Looks nice and stable.

I prefer the smooth lines of the cover case in gel
I have the cover gel like Higgsy
is fantastic
dropped on the floor, with some bounce but not a scratch
Could someone post a link to ebay to a case that fits good? I would love to order one for my defy but it's hard to know what cases fit the defy good.
I was checking out G4 cases and came across this list here: http://casesandaccessories.com/lg-g4/these-are-the-best-lg-g4-cases/
and my question was, will all of these work with the leather back? Specifically the OtterBox defender case here? http://www.otterbox.com/en-us/lg-g4/defender-series/lgx2-g4.html
I don't see any mention anywhere that affects the dimensions of the phone but I'd imagine it would since it looks a little more "fluffy". I need the Defender for work, but when I'm not in the middle of a construction zone I'd like the leather back
Thanks!
Why do you think the texture of the back makes any difference as to whether or not a case designed for the phone will fit?

I think it's a valid question. The videos look like it's slightly thicker to me. So I'm wondering the same thing as OP.

Well I once had an OtterBox, the big thick kind, and I had to peel off the wood-texture decal on the back of my phone or else the plastic shell thingy wouldn't snap together right. I'd imagine the leather back would have some cushion to it that could cause problems. Just unsure if LG has mentioned it or if anyone has heard anything!
Yeah, a hard case and extra screen protection for your device will make it last long.
I just pre-ordered a black leather G4 and I found this case... I think I'm getting the green one. It says it fits the leather back also!

It's true, not all the cases will fit both the plastic and leather backs.
Just doing some research yesterday I found this one that clearly says it will not fit the leather back http://www.amazon.com/Bumper-Case-S...8&qid=1432549807&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+g4+bumper
Thanks to OP for bringing this up
Don't know about this retailer cause I'm from the U.S., but I found these.. Though not in stock yet, a good price. I think I'm gonna get the Metallic gray phone and throw the Silver case on it.

after lots of browsing the web and looking at cases for the LG G4, im pretty sure i will order the plastic back due to cases not fitting. i thought you guys might enjoy some of these cases that took me a long time to find, you've already seen the spigen and the verus but heres a couple "fresh" ones to ponder at.
im pretty sure these have different variations of color and/or design of the same cases.

Yeah, I looked at that one but the seller says "[NOT Compatible with LEATHER LG G4" so I opted to pass on that one despite what the 1 reviewer said.

I can confirm that the Defender has a sticker on it that says Not compatible with the Leather G4. Returned mine at work today The LG Quick Circle Case and one other case at Best Buy also said not compatible with the Leather G4.
From otterbox defender questions and answers directly...
"No. OtterBox cases for LG G4 will only be compatible with the standard LG G4 case. The leather LG G4 has a slightly different form factor and will not fit in OtterBox cases for LG G4."

Got my snap on today and it is the official case! I like how they changed it from the G3.. The snap on replaces the back door but fits like the snap on from the G3 that went over the back. It has the lips and corner bumpers that protect the sides. By replacing the back door now it makes it feel like I donthave a case on it except the front cover. Very happy with my purchase. Shipped from the U.K. to Dallas Tx in 4 days.
Did you get the snap on or qi charger case. I read somewhere that the sampan went over your existing back and was not compatible with the leather back
