[Q] Best case for HD7

I'm going to be getting the HD7S, and I was looking for a good case for the HD7 as they're the same phone. My problem with a lot of cases is that dust and other things get inside the case and scratch the phone. So I was wondering if anyone could help me out and let me know which cases don't do that, the Otterbox Commuter in particular.

lolololololololololol

if anyone has the case from tmobile that has black edges and a clear back but also want a belt clip get the one from Seidio. I already had that case and ordered the $50 one from Seidio that has case and clip and noticed the tmobile case fits perfectly in the Seidio clip.

The case i received with my hd7 was a cheap $5 one off eBay. The guy told me he paid $20 for it, however i paid $2.50 off Amazon for the same quality case for my last phone. I bought an Otterbox commuter case and for $25 off Amazon it is a great buy. The inner part of the case is rubber and seals all the contact points on the phone and case.

I want the Candyshell from Speck...
That is a pretty nice one.. But the price is way too expensive than I wanted. T.T

What I really like is the PowerSkin for the HD7 - I use with a screen protector I bought separately. Only shortcoming is Powerskin doesn't have a belt clip/holster and is way too big for most phone holsters - I ordered a horizontal case for a GPS off eBay - if it works I'll update with the model number here..

Never heard of it - looked it up and man, what a gorgeous case!! I'd get one right now if I didn't have the powerskin..

I use on my HD7 a Momax iCase Pro. 10 bucks only and it's very good.

Otterbox off Ebay is amazing. Came just the other day and it fits snug inside.
It costed around 40 bucks but is well worth it

Otterbox for sure!!!! I used all three cases they sell at TMO:
-Body Glove was second best IMO (pretty, but cheap feeling, it creaks when you squeeze the chrome borders)
-Hard rubber with the grid back (decent but bland)
-Black bumper with clear back (tight fit *good* but volume keeps pressing with the slightest touch due to the tight buttons covers, plus back scratches easily)
Otterbox, no contest. Tight fit, covers up my decaying buttons (seriously HTC?) and soooo sexy with the brushed metal styling on the back, and feels so much slimmer than the Body Glove

I just got the 2 smoke argyle tpu case on ebay for the price of $0.00 (got a refund and replacement). The cases however are only mediocre. Its a tight fit so I don't have to worry about it coming off or anything like that and it gives you a pretty good grip of the phone. However, it does get slippery if you have sweaty palms like myself and the buttons are now harder to press because of the cover. The TPU case is sturdy and I believe it will protect my phone but it surely is not the best case out there. Price right now on ebay is $3.95 for 1.
I have looked at more premium cases like the momax icase pro and the speck candyshell. The candyshell looks to be a great case and I will probably buy one eventually.

Got the Otterbox case a couple days ago. Works wonders! It has an awesome feel, isn't bulky at all and provides good protection, not to mention the buttons are easier to push. Recommend it for sure! 10/10.
(TWSS also applies to much of what I said.)

I'm thinking of getting the Otter Box myself as I cannot find any Speck cases in the UK.
Only problem I see is that the phone won't fit on a dock/cradle with the Otter Box!?

Why do you need a dock when you have a kickstand?

Good point lol - never thought of that. I suppose I thought it would be handy to charge etc although I still haven't seen a dock I like yet as they don't seem to have supports on the ones with the audio jacks built in. I don't like the thought of my phone free standing with the USB and audio jack inside it in case it breaks somehow.

I would vote ooterbox as #1 but the case dosnt have a belt clip or holster like the defender series. ANd the fact that they dont plan on making one make me lean in favor for the body glove. I got Zaggg's invisible shield max all over the phone with the body glove case. It gives it a really tight feel and stiffens up the bodyglove case from squeaking and making cracking sounds when you hold it.

My vote is for either CaseMate "Barley There" or, Incipio Feather Light case.
Nice protection with hardly any additional bulk added.

i found otterbox is a very good case

skin-it
personally I don't like a big case, so otterbox is out for me. I got a skin-it custom skin I am very pleased with. Easy install, fits perfect, holds tight.

*BodyGlove or Speck CandyShell?

I am buying a case tomorrow, and I was wondering, should I get the BodyGlove case or the Speck Candyshell

I have never seen a bodyglove case I liked. So I guess the other.

I had that Body Glove case and it was garbage. I've never seen that Speck case, but I wouldn't think it could be any WORSE than the BG one.

i have the speck candyshell and the plastic on the back scratches SO easily. there are scuff marks all over mine just by leaving it on a table. it's also pretty bulky

I have the Speck CandyShell, I like it, but then again I've always liked Speck cases. Have one on my MacBook, iPod touch, iPad, and Droid Inc.

+1 on the bodyglove being garbage. It has six tiny tabs on the corners and left and right sides and one drop is almost guaranteed to break at least ONE tab off and then it's all down hill from there. I reccomend going with a Seidio Surface or Active Case
I have the rugged which is basically like an Active case. It's an older model and it's STILL holding together with no problems and I drop it quite frequently. Not too much thickness added either. Actually fleshes the phone out quite nicely if you ask me.

I also recommend Seidio. I love mine, I have the surface.
Their cases are high quality, very protective, and shockingly secure. They are also extremely form fitting, only adding a few mm to the width of the phone. They are by no means bulky.
I have been contemplating getting an active instead, simply because I like the extra shock absorbance it gives. I believe both the active and the surface have holster options as well.
The Otterbox is garbage durability-wise, and extremely bulky. The Candshell is also fairly cheap quality.

Body glove is a waste of money. If you drop it once the whole case is broken

Ok. Im probably gonna order the SpeckCandy Shell on monday. Its a hard case right?

Look at one of these. They're all one piece, and it fits like a glove. I've had bad experiences with Seidio cases, having had 3, all scratched grooves into my devices I had them on (iPod Classic, iPod nano, iPod Touch) I recommend against them.

I also had the Body glove and I hated it. I bought it because the one I had on my Blackberry Curve was good. The Incredible one was garbage.
I had the Seidio Innocase II on mine and like it but wanted a belt clip. So I moved on to the Otter Box Defender. I love the defender. It is a 3 piece case with belt clip. It does attract dust but overall I think it does a great job and Otter Box customer service is top notch.
Just some food for thought

I can vouch for the Body Glove being a sacrificial case, unfortunately I myself prefer the screen-out belt holster style cases and this is the only one I've found. I stocked up on a sale and bought a couple right at $3 a pop.
One drop and one of the required 6 minuscule clips will almost certainly break.

Yes it's a hard case.

As stupid as this is, I just went into the Verizon store and bought this, and another case (the other case is a leather one). I didn't feel like waiting lol.

[Q] Thinnest Case?

Hi,
I am looking for a case that adds minimal bulk to the device. I would prefer something with a soft-touch finish, but not necessarily silicone.
So far, I have looked at the Seidio Surface, the SGP Ultra Silke, and the Rearth Ringke.
Does anyone know from experience which of these cases is thinnest?
Also, has anyone found other cases that will retain the slimness of the phone?
Thanks.

I dont know from experience but from reading these forums the incipio feather case maybe be the slimmest. Its hard case that snaps on but doesnt cover the top or bottom of the phone. I do got the Rearth Ringke which is awesome. The fit is great.

Thanks for the reply. Is the Rearth Ringke relatively slim as well?

Also interested in a slim case.

Its really not that bad. The fit is great and the texture it has is a nice touch. It has enough grip to keep it from slipping but slippery enough to keep lent and fingerprints off.

^That's good to know.
Does anyone else have any suggestions for slim cases?

you could get these if you would consider a skin http://www.adreama.com/products/mobile-phone-skins/samsung/nexus-s
they're pretty damn thin, give good grip, protects the outside of your phone from scratches, and you get two so you can pick which color you prefer

I wish case mate would make a barely there case. There seems to be a huge demand for it.

incipio case quite slim, soft, and sexy.. the only drawback is it's quite fragile. my friend bought it awhile ago, he had SOD (sleep of death) many times using netarchy kernel and he had to remove the case to remove the battery. after a few remove, the case start to get loose and finally the case gave up and broke..

This seems interesting. I have found several cases identical to this on eBay for as little as $3 (like this andthis).
The material seems different than other TPU cases, and is just what I am looking for. Anyone else have a case similar to this (TPU, but with matte-finish rubberized rear)?

that second one looks just like the black one that you get in the two pack I posted. I actually think that the black one looks really bad with a black phone, but that's just my opinion.

I have the incipio feather case (black) and love it. Soft touch, great grip, and best of all no fingerprints. Not a tacky rubberized feel that sticks to everything (lint, hair). There is a little space at the top and bottom that isn't covered (bottom for port access) but it looks great. very slim. I bought the standard black case that best but had available on launch day and the crappy rubbery screen protector. Couldn't stand either one and dug out my g1 sleeve cover.
Bought the incipio because I hate the slick back of the phone. Been using it ever since.
I would disagree that it is fragile. I take it off and put it back on at least once a week and haven't had any loosening or breakage (after several months of use). Thing is still rock solid and fits perfectly snug.
hopefully this is helpful.
edit: although it is very thin and adds very little bulk, it is noticeable. With the case on, my phone no longer fits in my g1 sleeve and this makes me kind-of a sad panda.

How is your overall experience with the two-pack case that you posted? Does it add too much bulk to the device, or attract dust/lint?

Thanks so much for the detailed review. I appreciate the input.
The Feather seems to be a promising alternative to the other cases, mainly because I love the soft touch finish.

I actually think that the phone fits better in my hand with the case on. i'm not worried that i'm going to snap it in half on accident and it's only the tiniest bit bulkier than it normally would be.
I seem to notice little hairs and stuff accumulating right where the case stops, but it's easy enough to either wipe them off without removing the case or to just pull the case off and clean around the edges. overall, I think it's a great case. I added some before and after pictures so you could see how little bulk there is.

I also have the Incipio Feather Case and agree with discussion above. Actually have 2 for 2 phones.
Black is matte finish. Teal is not, but its not a hard, shiny plastic feel. I really like it, questioned buying but so tired of black (their other colors are
very bright, way too much for a mother of 3).
I was looking for the thinnest case possible and feel this is it.
The top and bottom is open so won't protect there, but has the corners.
The thing I love the most is the grip, felt the phone was too slick and just
waiting to drop. This solved that. I do not feel it is fragile, don't take off
that much, but have no problems using fingernail. It is tight, but that is good.
Would highly recommend. And if shopping on Ebay, there are some for $20
shipped. It states Nexus S (not specific for 4g, even on the box when you
receive it), but if it is Incipio, not knock off, it works.

sgp case is very good

Moko or poetic case?

Hey guys! Just bought my Nexus 10 and waiting to put my hands on! I've been reading all of the threads that contains information of this two cases, but I want to ask directly wich is better?
Sorry for my english !

I have the moko multi angle and I think it's pretty good.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD

They are both nice,
I have both slim versions.
The poetic imo is hard to place on and the plastic kind blocks the on volume buttons.
Moko is more open in terms of the buttons there is no plastic blocking it.
Poetic feels more like a full coverage compared to Moko
But I prefer using my moko.

I use my moko ultraslim and I'll never go back to my poetic case. I love the feel and look. Extremely light

+1, moko ftw.

I'm buying the Moko then! thanks for the quick answer guys!

I bought both Moko and Poetic cases for my Nexus 10.
Both are really nice and light. but the Moko case is kinda brittle. I accidentally slammed the front cover to the magnet and the part where it holds the magnet cracked and now its loose.
I now use the Poetic case and loving it so far.

My N10 should arrive tomorrow! Also, the Moko case should arrive next week, I'll share my opinion shortly

I had the Moko Slim-Fit, but the quality of the leatherette was horrible -- a cheap and rough plastic feel. (Which was funny, because I had what ostensibly the same Moko Slim-Fit for my old Note 10.1, and it was much better quality.) After buying the i-Blason by mistake -- the POGO port was completely covered! -- I just got the Poetic Hardback. I'm not sure what the difference is between this and the Slimline -- they look the same -- but the closure latch is horrible. It will only close completely if you actually pinch it closed forcefully, otherwise the edge of the latch just sits on the top of the tablet, held in place primarily by the N10's grippiness and the tight fit.
I'm now debating whether to go for the Moko "Genuine Leather" Slim-Fit, or go for a third option with the Blurex Ultra-Slim. All of these things seemed to be made by the same manufacturer anyway.

I've got the moko genuine leather slim fit, and have had it on my Nexus 10 for several months. It's been excellent. I reported on it a few months back in this thread, and posted a pretty detailed review on Amazon too. It fits perfectly - I just about never remove it. After months of daily use there is NO visible wear at all. It's essentially still like new. Very pleased within h it. Highly recommended.

For anyone curious - just to be sure - this is the one I ordered:

I've had it on my Nexus 10 since February 24th -- it's only been off the table a couple of days in the past three and a half months. Still fits perfectly, functions perfectly, and looks like new despite heavy daily use. Very highly recommended. NOTE: this is the "genuine leather" version of the Moko Slim Fit Multi-Angle case -- there's NO chemical smell when new, whereas the plastic version (cheaper) may have the same solvent small that other folks have described with the plastic cases. This also seems to wear much better as well. Love it!
EDIT: I just updated the URL to be sure I got it right. Note: most of the Moko Slim Fit cases are "PU" Leather -- i.e., like most of the mass market cases from China, these are micro-thin sheets of leather underneath layers of polyurethane. When you look at the Moko page, mouse of the color choices, and about 3/4 of the way through the list you'll see the "black genuine leather" option - THAT is the one I have and is the one I recommend.

I have this Moko Genuine Leather case as well, along with a Noreve case. The only negative I would say about this case is that mine holds the N10 a little too tight on the sides. It makes it difficult to slide the N10 out. Also, I find it uncomfortable to hold while in the case for extended use, and the tab on the left side is just little too close to the headphone jack. Otherwise its a really good case for the money.

Actually, this is the link to the genuine leather Moko slim-fit: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Genuine-Leather-Slim-Fit-Multi-angle/dp/B00AUP04ZG/. The link you have is to the plain black one, although you can select the genuine leather black one from the options provided.
I received the genuine leather Moko last night, and it is MUCH much better than the plain black one, which has an awful feel to it. The top latch is very good, unlike the Poetic, which seems to have a hard time with the rubber edge of the N10. That's probably more critical for me than the fit at the bottom, since I open and close the case far more often than I pull out the bottom and set it up for viewing. That bottom fit is a bit snug, like the Poetic, but this doesn't bother me too much. I'd rather have it that way than have the bottom swinging loose.

Thanks -- anything we can do to help folks find the right version of this. Even using the link that you provided, though, it's important to note that if you select what simply appears to be a different color than the "genuine leather black", you'll wind up getting a "PU leather" case, not a true leather case. The PU leather (polyurethane over a micro thin layer of leather) is what smells funky (in most instances), doesn't fit as well, and doesn't last as long. You can confirm the difference when you select a color by scrolling down the page and reading the expanded product description.

just got the moko case! it's all right! but I'm not foul satisfied. I'm waiting for the incipio team to make one. The moko is the better option out there right now I think.

Received the moko genuine leather case yesterday. Really impressed with the build, quality and over all feel.

Motorola? Or Moko? The Moko genuine leather is definitely the best of the portfolio/journal cases. I just got the Google book cover last week, though, and have been using that since. Definitely a different, much slimmer feel, a bit less secure feeling because it's just a flap over the screen, but still nice.

LG Hardshell Snap On - Thinnest hard case with no lip

LG made my favorite case for the N5 and it looks like they've made something similar for the 5x as well.
+The official LG Snap On case is hard, thin plastic with no lip and no button coverings. With my N5, it was nearly impossible to tell there was even a case on: it's just that thin.
-The only downside was due to not having a lip, the phone can shift around a tiny bit inside the case as the lip tends to hold the phone in place. It's also a bit expensive ($20-25).
I'll post some links I've found to buy the product here but most of mine are from sites that sell to Canada. Feel free to share any links you've found to buy the case in the US or other countries as well.

Thanks to @Infekxion for bringing this case to my attention.

For a super-thin case I picked up this one (I'd had one of these imak cases for a Razr Maxx a long time ago as well): http://www.ebay.com/itm/11181578731...49&var=410801075038&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
It does have a small front lip, but is also ultra thin, fits tight as a drum, and at $7 delivered is dirt cheap. Nice texture for better grip as well.

I'll post some links I've found to buy the product here but most of mine are from sites that sell to Canada. Feel free to share any links you've found to buy the case in the US or other countries as well.

For a super-thin case I picked up this one (I'd had one of these imak cases for a Razr Maxx a long time ago as well): http://www.ebay.com/itm/11181578731...49&var=410801075038&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
It does have a small front lip, but is also ultra thin, fits tight as a drum, and at $7 delivered is dirt cheap. Nice texture for better grip as well.

Nice find. Looks like one of the "quick sand" type cases. Those are great too (I had one for my N5) though the official LG case was noticeably thinner and with no lip felt like there wasn't even a case on the device.
On the up side the quicksand cases have unparalleled grip, though some people might be thrown off by the rough texture.

Interesting looking case, I think this'll be #3 or 4 i've bought, I tend to accumulate cases until I find one I like. It's certainly cheap enough to be disposable if I don't like it.

Sweet. I remember this case well (in N5 forums) but never got one they were a pita to find for me So I got the ringke slim for the N5 still have it and phone. I've gone caseless on the 5X so far I really like it but my OCD makes me buy cases....

Does it scratch the phone in any way?
I used similar case for my n5 and I remember it scratches corners when I try to put it on/off

I actually never took that case off my N5 since it was easy to forget it had one on lol. I suspect the same will be true for this version. However I could imagine scratches being a possibility since thin hard cases tend to be quite tight and and difficult to remove.
There is a techniques I've seen used to help remove those types of cases safely using a taped credit card.

Any idea where can I get this in the UK? I got the official one from google but it's just too bulky for my liking...
EDIT: Just found it on amazon UK. Here's the link for anyone interested (white version also available!):

Is this case as slippery as the phone? I normally have my phones naked but for the 5x it is slipping out of my fingers when trying to pick it up on the sides specifically and it has slid out of my pocket a few times.

Ive yet to receive mine but if it's the same as with the N5 case, the matte plastic will be almost identical to the 5x plastic.
For something with more grip check out that quicksand case linked earlier in this thread. Or if you don't mind a bulkier case I quite like the Diztonic matte texture I've been using for the last couple weeks. It's your standard case size but very easy to pick up and put down, has a better texture for gripping, and no doubt will protect well in a fall.
This thin hardshell is more just to protect from scratches and minor bumps while not noticeably enlarging the size of the device.

I got my case yesterday and finally have a chance to upload some pics. It's a little bit thicker than the original but I enjoy it just as much. The caliper I used may need slight adjustments and the bottom edges gave me the best reading but you get the idea. I really like how there's no lip on this one either.

Thank you. LG Logo looks removable. Is it?

Yes it is, doesn't look like it'll come out accidentally. It's a nice little accent that goes well with the imprint ring.

It's enough to be removable. I'll consider to buy this one. Maybe the ice one. I don't know.

Has anyone found this in white for sale in the US?

Is the official one scratching phone in anyway when you remove the case?

No scratches yet. I have a way of removing the case, same way with the old N5, hold phone with top end pressing into my waist and pry the bottom edges with my thumbnails. Slides off pretty easy. I recommend sitting down while doing it.

is imak thinner than spigen one?
i have spigen case installed. but the spigen's lower left corner has space with phone... too bad....
btw imak is really cheap... only $3 in china, so i am afraid of the protection when phone fall from hands....

None of the thin cases are really designed to protect in a drop. More just for scratches and minor bumps.
They might help a bit but even a thick case is no guarantee to protect the device in a drop.
I've personally tried the Diztronic case which is less than $10. It's made from thicker TPU material with a lip that would offer more drop protection than these thin cases.

"My hand is pretty small - but the phone is very comfortable to hold. :3 ( with and without the fusion case. )
The case made the phone less slippery though. ( which is a good thing - as it is less likely to slip out of my hand, lol. )"
