I'm also into hard shell back. And want to know how "grippy" they are. Many such cases described as rubberized and I really want something smooth.
I'm just sticking to the Body Glove hard casing provided by T-Mobile retailers... that is until OtterBox releases their Defender Series case for the HD2.
I purchased this one and it fit my T-Mobile HD2 fine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250602467949&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Interestingly enough he posts NOW that it doesn't fit the US model but again...fit mine fine.

How "sticky" is this hard plastic case ? Comparing to HD2's own back cover. The reason I'm asking is that I want to buy hard case like that, but ALSO a belt holster, so if this hard case is "sticky" and gives lots of grip - it will be hard for me to insert/remove it from holster.
Thanks in advance
Yeah Im also wanting something a little bit more grippy. I'm used to the Gel case I have on my Nexus and had on my Mytouch but only one guy has them and they don't cover up the camera like i want it to.
I guess I'm either gonna have to get one of these or wait for someone to manufacture a gel case for it, i just hope it doesn't add too much bulk (got little ***** hands)
This is the one i really want but for the TmoUS version, i jumped the gun and ordered one before the TmoUS HD2 came out in anticipation, without knowing that the two Euro and USA version vary slightly in size

That case really is quite brilliant though... I do rather enjoy how it covers or wraps around the rim of the camera lens. Very nice indeed.
Thats all nice and good, but I need that with a belt clip.
Someone has to be making a holster with beltclip that is hard plastic.
If you find one, please post here.
i have the first one ....in this post ....its not that rubberized but it feels better than the one it comes with...and allot slimmer feel to ....very sleek looking as well as the fone

I use mine in a leather belt holster and it works fine..not "sticky" like one that came with phone.
My tmobile retail stores dont have anything yet. I would love the body glove case even though i cant find it on ebay.

Here are some photo's of my t-mobile HD2 wearing the hard back skin I posted a link to earlier.....the pics are not the best quality...when one is using the phone as their main camera they seldom consider the problem of how to take pics of the PHONE itself.

I got a couple cases one from Cali which should be here this week and one from hongkong that should be here hopefully next week.ill put fitment pics up once i get them.
lol i went to the flea market and the mall yesterday and everyone i asked about having cases for the HD2 was like "what's an HD2?" and when i showed them they were like WHOA and then they answered with a "uh no sorry" lol

i bought the clear one and works perfectly.
Anyone else got there cases? if would you be able to post some pics.Thanks. I'm also looking for a case that will fit perfectly on my HD2. Thanks
I'm looking for a silicone case that is exactly like the HTC branded one that came in the retail TMOUS box, but is more tacky/sticky feeling (the HTC one is way too soft/smooth for my liking).
I see a bunch of these on ebay and was wondering if anyone had bought one like this:

Can anyone recommend a thin and snug silicone cover that does not cover up all the buttons (at least not on the front)?
I just need something to take the edge of if I were to drop it, without adding too much bulk or hanging loose.
So far best choices seem to be boxwave or the one expansys will get, but haven't tried either:

thats pretty slick looking, Looks to me though to maybe be a combination of a hard case (the back) and silicone (the sides).. Definitely looks good regardless..
I have this
I have the HTC branded silicone case and it not very snug but it was all I could get. It was the only choice for me.

seems a little thick on the top side. I was looking for something very thin, like the ones for blackberry curve if you've seen them, very slim, very tight and blends in well with it
Been shopping around till my myTouch arrives but has anybody try the Plastic resin type?

looks likes its snug and better than the silicone ones. check out the video at around 5:05 for the magic
They look quite good actually, quite thin. I've just ordered a blue one and a clear one. Only cost £5.50 all in to get it to the UK. Will leave a review when they turn up.
I am currently using one of the clear silicone cases from ebay, they are ok but they add a bit of bulk to the phone which I don't like.

Yeah I was thinking of getting a black one but I've seen our (HTC Magic) phone with a black silicone case on it and it looks really weird. Like too much black on that nice white body, doesn't look good.
Think clear and blue look quite cool tho.

its almost like the one I posted on ebay but without the design and you get 5pcs instead of 1 now the only thing in question is quality and how snug it is.
Anyone that gets any of these please let us know how it is
I am not usually a huge fan of cases because I hate the bulk they add...but if there is a SUPER thing one (pref soft not hard) I would def be interested

Right they turned up today, took probably 7 days I think to get from Japan to London, so pretty good.
First thing I asked for Clear and Blue cases. I got clear and black. Those funny Japanese folk probably couldn't read my VERY CLEAR ENGLISH.
Anyways first thing you notice is that they feel a lot tougher then the standard silicone ones you get off ebay (I was using a clear silicone case from ebay) the japanese ones are very tough, but still durable, they fit my magic a lot more tightly the the bog standard silicone ones.
Second thing I notice is how much more grip it gives you, much better then the silicone ones.
Thirdly and perhaps most importantly is the fact that YES they are thinner then the sillicone ones which seem to add a bit of un-wanted bulk to the magic. This new case must add barely 1mm to the unit.
I haven't quite worked out if I like the pattern that seems to be on the case, the black case looks ok but I really wanted the blue one! SO i'm going to email them now and see if they reply, doubt they will though.
lastly the provide you with a couple of 'free' screen protectors. These are actually the best ones i've used! They really are fantastic, they fit the screen perfectly, are perfectly clear, no bubbles and you can't even tell they are on there! And it doesn't affect the use of the screen at all, I mean it's still ultra sensitive when swiping your finger etc. Very happy with these!
All in all I like these cases and think for the price, especially considering how good the screen protectors are (worked out at about £7 inc shipping to UK) it's a pretty good deal.
Doesn't mean I won't be looking for another case tho
But until I fall in love with one, this will be the one I use.
Hey thanks for the review I actually ordered the 5pack they have for $20 I just hope they don't make a mistake on the colors. I ordered 2 clear(for me ) and 1 of each pink, blue, purple(for my wife)
but then after i bought it i found this ebay which is a little bit cheaper and had a diff design but who know maybe its the same quality. I might try those out as well

@ Roy_Drage
Thanks for the review. Can you possibly put some photos up of the cases with and without your phone inside?
It's good to hear that they are so thin. I'm currently using the supplied HTC case but was thinking of getting something a bit less bulky.
cheers
did they charge you any customs fees shipping to the usa for the epik cases?? im probably gonna get one but i dont want to be slammed with fees.

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...

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)?

That looks very similar to the one I have. I was looking for one where the case would come a few millimeters over the front, not just protude from the side... Due to silly no outside links for new users, I sadly cannot provide an example..

i didnt buy it for the rugged claims all though I quite liked the looks of it. I got it on a bargain contract too.
i always case my phones so i can get better money for them when i sell them simple as that, also if it got scratched up it would pee me off.

but the case won´t make it undestructable neither. and i think the cost of the case overcomes the extra price you get from selling it "better looking".
To each his own...if someone wants a case they should get one
And I do get the point...I'd rather scratch a case I can replace for $10 than a $100 phone.

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.

looking otterbox.com
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 bought a holster shield combo and the screen protectors from a sprint store for 27.59 (they had a buy 2 accessories 25% off for Premier and 10% off for regular customers) I'm not a fan of shields but I kinda liked the back of it which has a carbon fiber look on the back here's some pictures

Hey!
I just bought the same case from sprint online, it should come in a few days.
How is sliding the keyboard up, is it smooth?
Thanks.
P.S. What is the background you have on your phone?

The sliding is just about the same for me, coming from the Samsung Moment well it's hard as it is.. but I can't notice any difference really.
the background is just something that I put together last night

I saw that case at the Sprint store after I had ordered my blue/black one from Sprint.com, and kind of regretting buying the one I did. I like that this has both the hard case and the holster, I put my phone in the leg pocket of my carpenter pants, but when I wear pants that don't have the pocket I have to use my regular pocket which is annoying. So does the hoster work pretty good? Maybe I'll go to the Sprint store and see if they will refund the one I got so I can get this. Plus that way my wife and I won't have the same case, lol.
Yeah the case and holster are pretty good.
I never used a holster but I liked it.
I went to the store looking for just the case and this one came with the holster.
And also the guy told me that I get 1 year warranty, so if it breaks or anything they'll give me a new one.

I went to the store looking for just the case and this one came with the holster.
And also the guy told me that I get 1 year warranty, so if it breaks or anything they'll give me a new one.

Nice, I'm definitely going to go and see if they'll let me trade the one I got for that one. I don't really like the idea of both my wife's phone and mine having the same case, too easy to grab the wrong one, lol.
Great pics btw, really shows the product.
I'm honestly satisfied with the product even though I wasn't even looking for it lol I keep my phones always naked w/o a case/shell. I actually went in there for screen protectors.

Just another bit of info, my brother and I both got shifts but he got that case and I did not. He tried mine without the case and said it made his harder/stiffer to slide. So depending on your sensitiveness there may be a difference in sliding.
So I went to the Sprint store and picked this up. It does make the sliding even harder than normal, but no worse than the other case (the blue/black one). Also once it starts being used more the plastic will wear a little and become easier.
thanks for the wallpaper!
Glad you liked it! You're welcome

Just bought the same case. Makes the keyboard slide out really stiffly but I think it's gonna work itself out as I keep opening it. Not sure if I'll use the belt clip much but I like that the case is all black.
Is it worth it to get this if I'm not going to ever holster it to a belt? Is it still a good case? Better than the blue/black one?
Thanks

I think so. The holster is completely optional. If the phone's not in the holster it's almost exactly the same as the blue/black one. The back just isn't as slip resistant as the blue/black one (a plus or minus depending on the user).

That's good to hear. I like the blue/black case. Just wanted an all black one
Dedcided I look like a d-bag with the holster on my belt but it does work really well hooked to my backpack strap. With gloves it's too hard to get it out of my pocket.
will someone post a pic of this with the phone slid open please? I am contemplating this one as I work in construction and need a good hard case. I was actually gonna get a zagg invisible shield easy install, and install this over it, how tight is it, and would that be possible?
I bought my brother this case, and boy does he love it!
I like mine too, but it does make holding the phone more slippery to slide out the keyboard. A couple instances it literally flipped out of my hand and I had to catch it. To help quicken loosening up the plastic, I recommend every so often taking the case on and off to help wear it in.
nice
I am torn on this one. I typically don't like cases/holsters, but this one looks great.
I'm looking for a case compatible with the i9023. Being a little thicker than the i9020 I'm pretty sure the majority of cases available will not fit - certainly not the one I bought from eBay.
I would really like the Incipio feather case for mine but I don't think it's compatible. I have emailed incipio and will update with their reply.
In the meantime, can anyone recommend a case that will definitely fit the i9023?
just read this, stating that the incipio feather case doesn't fit
Yep that's what prompted me to start this thread.
There must be others out there with the i9023 that are wanting to protect it, surely?

i've bought and been using the ringke case from rearth for a few weeks now
although it isn't fitting perfectly for the I9023, it is doing the job acceptably well.
then again, am still looking out for cases and screen guards made specifically for our 9023 device
Thanks, In what way is it not a perfect fit for the i9023? Obviously it's designed for the slimmer 9020 so does this just mean it's tight or doesn't actually pull right round the body of the phone? How does it look / feel when on and do you have any pics?
i will try these cases that i got on the i2023 in the next few days, and let you know how it goes.

looking for a good fitting case myself,bought a few off eBay and all rubbish,got a flexi case ,fit good,but still looking for a case with belt clip that doesn't hit buttons etc, otter-box is coming out with one in 3 5 weeks which seem good,going by other products that otter box made,but wont know how good till i get it or if i get it,maybe as nexus s isn't out long,there isn't much out there
Just to update...
Incipio got back to me with this:
"Thank you for your inquiry. Our Nexus S feather case is designed to custom fit the i9020 model and not the i9023. Unfortunately, we do not have any current plans on releasing any cases for the Nexus S i9023. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions or concerns"
... that answers that then!

i think it's the same problem for all manufacturer, some will rather not waste time in making another mold with 1-2 mm differences, if samsung or other phone manufacture realter there phone by 1-2 mm differences, just to fit a different display, you will get the same problem again, you might as well get a pouch.

this one does not work, too tight
these ones are much better, it was'nt mean't for the i9023, it fits but rather tight i would say 98% fit, as the rim does stick out about 1 mm.
on the other hand, whiles i was in china, i did try one case, that looks like the sgp ultra silk, is was slightly loose on the i9020, this may fit, i can buy one of those the next time i go china, it's only about USD 1-2 each, so if it fit, it's good to go, if not, it will just go into the rubbish bin.
the tech21 d30 pouch fits perfectly with the 9023. not cheap but it's quality is top notch.

This one is a tight fit for i9020 so I'm quite sure it will be VERY tight fit for i9023

bidding title says its for i9023 so hopefully i'm in luck
Seems like as has been said the pouch option is the best for us i9023 owners.
For anyone that has the d30 case - do you think it would work well in that case with a screen protector on, ie without pulling it off or turning up the edges when sliding in and out?
I know the whole idea is to not have to use a protector but I really don't trust that oleophobic coating to remain with use without.
