Way too expensive and I think the Tough As A Nut case is a better way to go than that UMPC case. However, it is pretty fancy looking.
I feel the same way. I am now using the Vaja case for my new camera. I much prefer the slide in action of the Nutshell case and sometimes use the OEM case.
This is probably the best case considering ease of use, protection and quality:

I agree! In my mind that's the perfect case, just needs a nice belt clip like on the Nutshell. I've emailed them asking for options.
Update - I got an email from them and they will not put a belt clip on it, can do a shoulder strap, but I don't want a purse.

Im using a black pielframa case for my X7500 for a year now and all i can say is "its the best case for a HTC Advantage device" specially now it has a swivel beltclip from Covertec + I punched a reset hole on it using shoe lace hole puncher, i also used this apparatus in installing the Covertec belt clip system. To prevent the device accidentally sliding out the case, i put a velcro to make it sturdy.
Now Im more confident& happy carrying my device anywhere
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)

I need to make a decision on which one to get. I really want to figure a way out on putting a belt clip on one of these, but not sure how to or what clip would work. It seems the Noreve was offered with a belt clip which was later no longer issued as it was breaking due to the weight of the case and streak in it. If anyone has one of these and worked out a way, please let me know. Thanks:
Noreve
Tuff-Luv
I have a Tuff Luv case, reviewed on here a while back, great piece of kit and very well made but no belt clip. To be honest I wouldn't trust my streak to a belt clip no matter who made it.
2devnull
Hi,
from what I have read on the forum and the net..
I can say, carrying it on a Belt (clipped) may not be the best idea.
It either goes well in your deep(er) pant pocket, or in your backpack!
from the choice, the Noreve seems much more classy than the later one.
My 2 cents!
care,
Sony
I agree. The device is to big to be trusting it to some cheap plastic belt clip. even tho I ordered the defender by otter box I know for a fact ill never use the belt clip.
The noreve looks better..plus there is a stand on the back , bit more functional
Thanks all for the input. I am surprised that many have stated that a belt clip is not desired. I must say, I have been carrying it around with the cloth pouch that came with it for the last few weeks and I really don't think I would trust not having it on my belt. This may be because I have always had a leather flip type case for all my previous phones for close to 15+ years.
The other thing is that I don't think I would trust to keep it in jeans pocket and other than work, I don't carry any sort of bag with me, so I need something that does not consume one hand.
But this is interesting feedback. I was hoping to get something more like this and not some adhesive thing. Although, they seem to only be selling a minimum quantity of 1500.
Also, Noreve seems to have this clip which I don't know if it was the one they offered before, but it looks like it is a new design. I will need to contact them to see if their streak case has the place to screw in the part that slides into the clip. But, the one with the rivets and backing plate does look a whole lot more secure.
I ordered one of these with belt clip number 01 (scroll down to look at options). They will custom make them to your dimensions if you want to put it in the case with a cover on it. I have not received mine yet, but reviews elsewhere were very good. They offer other configurations. Right now they have no listings because of the Chinese New year.
Well, it looks like the Noreve case + clip + shipping will cost USD $103. Probably twice as much as I was looking at paying.
I guess I'll be back to looking at the Otter Defender or the Tuff-Luv if I can modify it. So strange that most nice accessories for this phone is only available across the pond.

Yes, I had first look into this. The issue I have with this other than waiting for their New Year to complete is that I am afraid of dropping the streak after taking it out of the case. With the two I was looking at and also the defender, at least they are made to stay in a case and benefit from some protection.
I don't know anymore, it is becoming frustrating. With all these price points and pros and cons, it is hard to just try them all by ordering and no place to go an try them without purchasing.

I ordered the easecase large enough so that I can leave the Otterbox Impact case on the phone and carry it in the leather case. My thinking was that I have a carry case and I still have protection when I remove it.
The best way to carry/manage using the Streak as an every day device is still evolving for me. I have spent at least 1/2 the cost of the phone on accessories.

hmmm.....this is very interesting.....I know when I had my iPhone, I got this and then put it into a leather belt case, so this may actually be like the same thing. I would probably go for the commuter case however as I read the silicon is a bit different from the Impact and Defender in that it is less susceptible to lint etc.
Thanks for the idea. The cost will run it up there again to approx $70-80 and I'll have to wait about 2-3 weeks for the easecase part
2devnull,
I don't believe that there are any good inexpensive ways to carry the Streak around and protect it. I have seen reports of some people using a Nintendo DS carrying case. I looked at that and just didn't want to go that way.
What about this one?
Just found this one on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Zing-571-221-MPEBK1-Medium-Electronic/dp/B000E6S3TK/ref=sr_1_56?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1296433970&sr=1-56
Well, I think I'm going the Otterbox Commuter + Easecase route unless something changes by the time Easecase returns.
I too am looking for a belt leather case for my Streak as I don't like caring the device in my pocket too much. I did contact
I contacted Noreve regarding their CLIP and Case combo but here is what I got!
Is the Dell Streak case compatible with the belt clip?
Do you have a case for Dell Streak that can be clipped to a belt?
Dear Rafal,
No I am sorry.
Too heavy.
My best regards,

A lot of money for something that does not close and you risk taking out an unprotected Streak and dropping it. A little modification and internal size would be ideal so that you can put a protected Streak (with Impact or Commuter or even jelly) inside it.

The Monaco case is only useful if you use your phone with no cover/case. I had one for one day. I got it in a batch if stuff I bought and sold it the next day. It does look well made and suits someone who carries the Streak naked. It would be great for someone who carries the Streak in a purse or backpack a lot.
I have the Otterbox Defender on my phone and bought a case from eBay seller easecase. They will customize the cases to your dimensions. I will get some pics up of my easecase soon.
I offered the Monaco as a suggestion because everyone uses their phone differently and if you like going light and sleek it would be a good fit.
I stated before that I have not found any good cheap options. I got my Defender for no cost, but had to buy a group of accessories and then sell what I did not want to do that. I have more time than money so that method worked for me.
Agreed, if a purse or bag or someone who is comfortable with a naked Streak, it would be ideal - however I think I read that it does not close correctly.

The one that I had was a perfect fit for the phone with no case. The openings were aligned properly for the headphone and charging ports. If I were carrying my Streak with no other case/cover on it I would have kept it.
The Monaco case is such a good fit that even a TPU case makes the phone too big.
I want to get me another protective case,cover for my sgs note 2 N7100. Currently i am using samsungs protective Cover+ and it's a bit to smooth, slippery when i am holding it and it only protects my phone from scratches
I have the tough case from case mate on my sgs 3 and i think i looks big compared to how small a sgs 3 is, especially compared to my current phone a note 2 which is bigger then a sgs 3. I would like to hear your opinions on how good the tough case for a note 2 N7100 is and if theres any cheaper alternatives i can get with free or at a resonable shipping to denmark (DealExtreme is so slow, more then 14 days i have waited for 2 cheap screen protectors for my note 2 with free shipping, so i don't wont to wait that long)

The demand for it so overwhelming they ran out of stock. So whoever placed an order last month will be getting their case next week (you should check on the same page, someone already received it). Yeah, so they are out of stock but I'm sure it will be back soon. Just have to wait. Not sure what do you mean about reviews. There is only one post with someone who already received it on Sat and absolutely loves it. Wait till next week when you going to see a lot more detailed reviews in this forum.

Reviews of what? Nobody HAS it yet. People review a picture, and either say they "like it" or "hate it". Nobody has reviewed the actual product yet to confirm the quality and the fitment, which I'm sure not going to let us down.
I handled a number of Note 2 cases, read/watched a lot of reviews from actual note 2 users (not those "everything is great" reviews on YT because they want extra clicks). What I found, all these cheap ebay cases are OK as a temp solution, but the material is inferior and will stretch after awhile (especially those dual layer with silicon inner shell). Otterbox Defender is a massive brick with a flexing screen protector and people complaining about echo, Commuter has a slippery back, Seidio Active inner silicon will stretch and get loose at the top and the bottom after awhile (pulling away), Surface is pain in the arse with two interlocking halves, Ballistic corners are over exaggerated and bulky, Trident Aegis is nice but the back doesn't look even, even Beyond Cell Tri-Shield got some negative reviews with sub par material and inner silicon shell pulling away at the top/bottom, flip cases are nice to protect screen but not the whole phone protection and pain in the arse when you need to take a picture and/or constantly flip it open when you need to use the phone. Also, keep in mind if you want to use car mount, some of these cases will not fit in, etc. Again, this is just my personal opinion, everybody entitled to one and some will disagree with me. I'm looking for a case that you can lie down evenly on the back (without any wobble) or the front (thus also having a decent lip protection), power/volume buttons not too hard or too soft, case is not too bulky and slides in/out of the jeans pocket without picking up too much lint, fits in general grip car mounts, has a decent drop protection, easy to take phone out of the case and at the same time has a snug fit with no edges pulling away or loosing up after awhile, and with a unique design Is that too much to ask? lol!!! Hoping UAG case will be able to meet all these requirements, and Case-Mate Tough Case will be my back up case!

product is temporarily unavailable because all of their first batch has been pre sold, and it is currently chinese new years so more cases arent being made until after the 15 day holiday.
99% of the reviews on the page are useless since only a few of them actually have the physical case.
price i didnt have a problem with since someone on xda shared a discount code.

Sorry man if English is not your first language (I wasn't born in US either ), but these are NOT ACTUAL reviews of the product. The product just started to ship a few days ago. ALL of those reviews are from people who DO NOT have the case yet. They just looked at the picture and making a comment if they like the picture or do not like the picture. Did you read those reviews? Don't look at # of stars, those are people IMPRESSIONS of what they think about the product based on the picture on UAG site.
Do you want to read actual review of the product UAG already released? Go to Amazon and search for UAG Galaxy S3. You will find 933 reviews with an average rating of 4.75 stars. That is a reason why this case is so hyped up. People expect it to be as good as S3 case. The comments on Note 2 page of UAG are NOT reviews, those are comments about people either saying "looks cool" or "why did you change the design from S3 version". Plus, you get a few negative comments from people who are waiting for their case and still haven't received it yet. Those are comments with "effen" references lol!!!

I just was referring to the delivering problems they have, like people is saying they have ordered it and it took a long time before they started to ship it.
Watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySorsozRZxQ and the sgs 3 version looks different then the note 2 version (why? only because of the size difference?), how is the grip? the 2'nd custom review i so of the sgs 3 version thought it was a bit slippery, dont like the corners so much on the note 2 version, find them a bit to big,bulky.
When is it possible to buy one and is the price the same as the tough case (40 $) that i know has a good grip. Mabye i have missed something (if i did miss something i will read it again ), but why the UAG before the tough case?
I appreciate your opinions and i'd like to hear more opinions on a good case,cover for my note 2, i just don't want to buy the tough case if theres one that much better although i have the feeling that the tough case i one of the best, top of the line.
There was a coupon "friends50" that you could use with Tough Case to buy it for $20. You can't use it on-line anymore, but if you can contact them (probably calling directly is not an option for you?) maybe they can honor it?
Again, just my personal opinion since I have been "studying" these cases for the last couple of months I put UAG before Touch Case because of its lighter 1-piece design and a more modern urban look (I like the reversible orange/black grill on white Navigator for my white GN2), versus Tough Case offering blue/grey 2-piece design. I'm getting both of them to have my own hands'on experience. I know everybody raves about Tough Case, but I have to see how that inner bumper feels. So far I didn't like any designs with inner silicon cases, but read Tough Case inner bumper is more like TPU sturdy. Will see... Yes, I'm a little bit biased toward UAG, but it can all change once I have both in my hands and compare one to the other.

This is the only ebay case I haven't tried This one might actually work because it has plastic outer shell covering top/bottom. In mine temporary case I'm using right now (the first one in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36730711&postcount=714) it was great for about a month or two, but now the inner silicon at the bottom is pulling away and dust gets inside. Waiting for my UAG and Tough Case to arrive next week!!!

I've only had mine a month, but it looks exactly how it did when it was new. If you're looking to try others out, put this one on your list. I actually just ordered another in blue. My wife got a dark purple one, and it's so stunning, it makes my black one look boring and sad. The dark blue seems to have recently hit ebay, and I found it for $6.59 shipped. I hope it looks as nice as the purple.

tappity tap tapped from my Eclipsed Note 2
hey guys so i am loooking for a otterbox like case for example i want a hardcare that can with stand hard fall as i drive from a forklift and work allows me to have headphones in only one so i can hear people yell at me when i run **** over lol, but seriouly i am looking for something like the otterbox with a belt or clip holster (easy access) and access to headphone jack as well whitch the otterbox failed miserably at, i found a few hower they didn't make it for the note only the s3 seems like this phone is lacking cases in this design as well so any and all help would be greatly appreciated as i ran into a dead end.
what's the problem with the otterbox?
the headphone jack is perfectly accessible for me.
Look into Seidio CONVERT Combo, check out main review link in my signature. You get SURFACE for light use and CONVERT shell on top of it for extra protection and one of the best belt clips with lockable latch. Plus, you will get a kick stand, a soft plug/cover for headphone, micro-usb, and camera port (no strain on your cables like Otter), and when you pair up with VITREO tempered glass screen protector - it's ultimate!!! And like a said, at work use the full CONVERT suit. When you get home, strip out CONVERT layer and you got a slim SURFACE protection layer. Based on your requirement, it's the most flexible solution.

Keep in mind, clip is removable and replaceable. Plus I remember Seidio mentioned about bike mount and car mount prototypes that clip right on to a holster when clip is removed.
I will use no other belt clip other than seidio. I've been sold on them for my last 3 phones. My job can be a bit rough on belt clips and theirs has always held up.

both "denfender" and "survivor" were from case-parts/tvc-mall The last time I checked, "survivor" was still listed in there, while "denfender" (intentional spelling) was removed from Note 2. Hit them with email, they might still have it Otherwise, you might have to search through alibaba.com sellers, although those don't take paypal and to search in there you need to get creative with spelling (like otterering or ottered) lol!!!

Think I found it!!! All the reviews say all 5 stars what is your opinion of it good quality study clip?? What cons do u have for this puppy
http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Survivor-Military-Duty-Belt-Clip-Case-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-II-N7100-Black-White-MHC-N7100-84B/
Oh, no, that clip is a junk. Don't even bother. The case is bulky and will help your N2 survive a nuclear attack, but belt clip is a joke. Survivor case was designed by Griffin for S3 and this N2 version was unofficially scaled up by HK manufacturers for a bigger N2 design. If belt clip is your priority, this case is not for you.

How about looking into an alternative of belt clip pouches? One of my other review threads is up now at the top of the forum with a discussion. That vertical pouch is actually not bad since it's easy to get phone in'n'out with a velcro flap, you can keep it on a belt clip to take it out, or belt loop to keep it permanently, and its vertical and secure. Works with any slim to bulk cases. The ultimate solution would be to have zerolemon rugged case that will support belt clip as well - would be the best of every world to have endurance and protection to the Nth degree. But the only info they released so far is that rugged case will accommodate original slim, double width, or triple-capacity ZL battery, while we are not sure if it will have kickstand or holster yet. A couple more weeks of waiting.
