Taken from the Mobile Fun blog.....
With the launch of the HTC Incredible S in the next few days, I realised I had stumbled upon something which could shake the very foundations of the world (well the world of any Incredible S or potential Incredible S owner).
Whilst walking around MWC I saw some unusual HTC cases and accessories and was not 100% sure what phone they were for, but the odd shaped indent leaves me with no doubt now it is definitely for the HTC Incredible S.
There were a couple of HTC Incredible S cases what really drew me to a new case in particular is that it had a style never seen with an official HTC case before, we are used to TPU and leather ones, but this was something quite different. It had a funky design, and seemed to be made up of two distinct materials TPU round the sides (we assume for easy phone entering and exiting of the case) and a tough polycarbonate back for protection.
Having been a long time HTC user, but generally just an all round cool guy – I hope to see more HTC cases like this. Yes sure the leather and TPU cases are adequate, but I want to add some funk to my phone – so roll on these call cases, so hopefully this HTC Incredible S Case is the start of something new and different from HTC.

Even the standard TPU cases seem to be getting an upgrade, up to now they have been the same colour (a clear with a black tint), we saw them in different colours! (Again they look like they are for the Incredible S)
The other thing I spotted was an official desktop, and looking at where the charging port is and the size I would guess this too is for the Incredible S. It has been a while since we’ve seen an official dock (remember the CR G300?), but this is smaller and is definitely less in your face. In fact it looks a bit like the official Galaxy S deskstand. As a fan of deskstands I again see this as really positive.
The connector on the HTC incredible s i located on the left side of the device,
and not on the bottom. So the dock wont work?
The dock in the picture looks pretty wide, so i think it's for landscape orientation rather than portrait. I want one!
It's my 2nd trip to the PhoneHouse (Carphone Warehouse in France) today and they still got like no accessories for the Incredible S!
I'm only looking for a gel case and I can't find any online either. I tried EBay and a bunch of websites, everything is coming up and not available yet.
My local car phone warehouse had clip back style cases in made by casemate. Nice case actually. Adds very little extra bulk to the phone.

Where did u get the specs from?
I had both the impact, and commuter cases for my evo and they were awesome I'll most definitely be getting this case for my shift. They make the good ****.
powered by the tears of a million orphaned alpacas...
hm..from looking at the pictures on that link, the case appears to cover the 'shift' and 'FN' lights on the keyboard when it's opened. I wonder if they will fix that by release time..
It would be pretty hard to make a good phone case that didn't cover up those lights at least some, because they are pretty close to the screen part of the phone.
I put my email in to be notified when they are available, but I keep checking back anyways to see if they are out yet haha.

I wish Otterbox was releasing a Defender Series case for the HTC EVO Shift 4G as they did for the HTC EVO 4G. I won't be suprised if one comes out for it by the end of the summer.
They do not make defender series for any slide phones, it would be impossible without rendering the slider useless. I don't think we will see anything other than the commuter case.

the case for $20
Seems like a solid deal. I had a friend who shut hit iPhone in the channel of the trunk of his SUV. It survived because it had an otterbox.
I keep going over to the http://www.otterbox.com site and pray to Allah that they release their Commuter Series one soon. At the rate they're going and by the time it launches, I'll probably will be carrying our version of the Nexus S by Google.
It went live today
Will be getting mine Friday.
ordered mine today
I just had to buy another HD2 last night(I dropped my original
It came with a pink hard rubbery case.
Where can I find one that is black? It can't be more then 3 Bucks.
I looked on eGay, but they all look the same. All of them say silicone and the ones that say hard rubber look different.
Just can't find the damn thing.
Here is a pic. I don't want another rubbery jelly POS like OEM one.

Here's some:
1) Hard Case PS. It's terrible - broke after one week. (but I kept putting it on and off to be able to fit it into my dock.)
2) Rubbery Hard Case Don't remember what the oem case was like.
It doesn't really look like either one of those.
Dont they do 'bumpers' for these?
I was not able to find a good black case for my HD2 as well, will try this one

Our Chineese friends have probably taken care of us! Look on eGay (as you called it very correctly). Some good chineese man might have the solution to your quest XD
I have black perforated hard case. Cheap off flEabay, nice to hold and did survive a 2 foot drop onto tiled floor.
Otherwise I have full aluminum case (can get black) for mountain bike but a bit ott for the office ;-)

has anyone tried this case there is no reviews on amazon for it so i figured id ask here decent price looked pretty sick anyone has experience from these phone cases almost got one for me evo a while back but never got it
Did you ever order the case? I was also looking into getting one but I like the way this one looks. It looks like an actual fishbone.
no i didn't cause no one freaking responded 200+ view not one response ended up getting a cruzerlite... off amazon and its amazing feels very light but not cheap but the price is great!!! i never really like tpu cases but this one definently got my business thinking about buy a second case different color..
I did see on another forum that someone bought one and he stated that the corners would slip out and he didn't recommend it. But it just looks so cool. I have had an Otterbox Commuter Series on my Sammy Charge and I love it but I thought I would try something different. I will look into the cruzerlite, thanks for the suggestion.
yeah the fishbone was poorly rated when i was looking at it too and the phone is bulky enough as it is and this case doesn't add much bulk at all too it..
I drop my phone alot. And my 3 year old doesn't help matters either, chucking it all over the place so I don't mind the added bulk of the Otterbox Commuter.
I just ordered one from Amazon so I will let you guys know how it is once I get it but I had one a while back for my Fascinate and loved it actually so I'll see how this does with my Bionic.
Had one on a fascinate. It provides basic protection, but not nearly to the level of an otterbox or aegis. Think of it as one step above a silicone case. I had no problems with the corners sliding off.

You guys should check this **** out : http://www.amazon.com/Trident-AG-BIO-RD-Series-Motorola-Bionic/dp/B0060EKDWK/ref=pd_cp_cps_2
I am a big fan of my CaseMate Tough case for Bionic. It is a 2 layer case with soft-silicone inside and hard plastic removable outside layer. It's nice since I can dock in the car and moto desk dock with the soft case and pop on the hard outer case when I am on the go. Last week I think Amazon had the Tough for around $7 w/ free shipping. The fishbone looks like it would be a pain to remove the outer layer, if anyone can comment I'd like to know how easy it is to remove/replace the hard layer.
I just noticed a weird difference in the holiday/vivid. Specs ideally are the same..
however the back covers aren't..
I just bought a case. that shows it.

No holes?
My new silicone case has the little cutout.. not that it bothers me much. Was this an attempt to use the back cover as an antenna. The HTC aria had it.

Weird! What am I seeing in the hole at the bottom? Looks like 3x contacts of some kind...? My raider definitely doesn't have the cutout there, nor are .there any contacts in that area under my back cover. Weirdness.

It seems like most if not all. Case designers accomondated for it. and built around it.

I got a cheap case last fall from Amazon that was for the Raider. It has an opening in the lower right just like the pictures show. So, at some point, the Holiday or Raider had something there that HTC wanted exposed.
OP, the earlier pics you show were from the earlier prototypes of the Holiday line. At some point, they must have decided that they don't need those contacts, and that's why no region's Holiday has it.
I would hazard a guess, though, that when the case makers all got their "blueprint" for the phone, they got it before HTC had decided to remove it. I'd guess they got it while the phone was still in its prototype stage so that they have enough time to design and release it with the phone when it came out.
It could possibly have been contacts for a dock of some kind that didn't work out and HTC decided to do away with them.
Sent from my HTC Vivid using XDA app
those contacts are for a dock use.
and Holiday is just the model name of the phone no one actually has a "Holiday"
they'd have a Velocity, Raider, or Vivid.
Yeah, those three tabs would be used for a dock, the vivid/raider/velocity do use the back plate as an aerial, that's what the metal tab pushing against the back cover inside does. the HTC HD2(leo) had a similar prototype design that was dropped at the last minute
Question
How well does the external speaker work with those cases on?
I figured all you people that replied would know.

It's hard to see in the photos above, but the speaker is a thin opening at the top above the camera, running all the way across the Vivid. I would be surpised if any case designed for the Vivid/Raider/Velocity covered the speaker.
So I want to order a wrap for my M8 but just not sure from who? Thought maybe ya'll can help and tell me who you went with, color/pattern and why. Or maybe you can offer up a different suggestion?
Thanks.
check the thread of Lopan12
look at his thread he makes impressive skins for the m8

I have used decal girl on previous devices(psp, ps3, Ipod touch), they've been around for a long time. Decals are good high quality material, they'll last a long time.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I used Decal girls for my PS Vita they're pretty good quality.
Customer support is top notch, In my stupidity I tore a corner of my skin, contacted support, took picture of damage, and paid (3$) shipping and got another set sent to me.
Slickwrap on the other hand I've used for my HTC one M8, Price wise for skin it's pretty expensive, Quality wise it's on par with it's competitors. I do like them for their accuracy in the fine details though.
I guess I'm biased
I got my DG skin...It's not bad but I liked my SW skin more... It wrapped around the sides and had a better texture for grip

Ive never tried slickwraps so i can't say they're any better, but close inspection on decal girls pictures shows that the m8's side are uncovered, the ipod touch was the same way(close inspection). Also as i said, they've been around for a very long time and have an extensive collection. The skin holds up well throughout the unpredictable weather in CO. May warp if overexposed to heat, especially in CO's summer weather, otherwise it should be fine... Just a heads up
