advice for a maybe soon to be hd2 owner - HD2 Accessories

Hello everybody,
I'm thinking of buying a hd2 and I was already reading the forum and looking for some cases but the thing is... what should/would or must I buy!?
I also own a Dell streak. With the device I use a full body skin/protector in combination with a leather case.
So the thing is, there are a lot of cases out there and I really want to know if there is a great option which will keep the device slim and really protected.
Like full body skin (if necessary) with:
case 1
case 2 without lower / upper protection
case 3
case 3 - another picture
case 4

I will only suggest one thing ! Do not go for Rubberized Covers !! they make the phone hard as hell to slide in/out of the pockets !
As for the cover search for Otterbox Commuter Series Case

I love Otterbox Defender case. As previous poster said, rubberized cases are annoying in terms of putting them into a pocket. I use belt holster for my Otterbox. Works fine.

Thnx very much

I had the Otterbox case. It made it way too thick.
Try this
HTC EVO 4G
4.8" x 2.6" x 0.5"
(122 x 66 x 12.7 mm)
T-MO HTC HD2
4.8" x 2.64" x 0.43"
(122 x 67 x 11 mm)
Look at size comparison of the two phones. I ordered the Seidio case below and it fits perfect.
The Sprint store has the horizontal leather case with magnetic closure, that fits too.
GO to seidioonline and search for Product Code: HLHEV4AS
If you order this holster make sure it reads Spring-Clip Holster for use with non-cased device.
Got mine today... Love it.

Interesting. I like the Otterbox precisely BECAUSE it makes the HD2 thicker, and easier to handle (for me).

Ditto.

HD2 Face-In Holster/Case

Does anyone know of a good skin/holster combo for the HD2 that has a silicone type skin on the phone and allows for it to be put face in in a holster?
I currently have it in the HD2 silicone case and am just looking for a holster that will fit with the added bulk, but am not opposed to buying a new skin/holster combo.
Thanks!

It is a bit thicker, but the Otterbox defender comes with a holster that one can use either face in or face out. Not sure if you want that much protection.

[Q] Any1 know of a case that's flush w/ the screen?..

I've been lookin' all over for a case that's flush with the screen, but to no avail. I've searched Google, xda, etc. Apparently, the Case-Mate Barely There Case is, but it scratches the TMOUS HD2 & may interfere w/ GPS reception (at least the Silver one, which OF COURSE just haaaaaad to b the 1 that I'd actually wanted >:| ). I've been lookin' @ the OtterBox Commuter, but can't tell from pics whether or not it's flush. So, what's recommended?

Do you have the case? In this thread, you said you think you might get it, implying you don't actually have it.
It scratches so fast that it travels through time!!!

[Q] Sexiest HD2 Cover

Yep...plain simple...which one is THE sexiest HD2 body glove/cover.....right now m using the plain rubberized case which came with the phone !!
I like the Body Glove Kickstand case, but this looks pretty badass
No cover, I don't like covers.
Hi i bought 5-6 cases the last 2 years for my hd2. The sexiest for me is this
The blue is my wife's case. The circles on the black are not so visible is almost transparent. You can find a clear case too check eBay.
thanks for the replies guys....but still nothing that catches d eye !!

i just ordered myself this one - black and white
it should arrive in 15 days (it's a long way to my crappy country )
y d hell has Iphone such variety of covers....
i need something which is plastic, glossy,easy to slide thus.......
I think the defender is the sexiest. It looks like a case that Batman would use for his phone
i personally have a tpu Flexiskin (or something like that) on my TMOUS HD2, it is incredibly good looking, it fits the phone like a glove and it feels thinner with the case on than it does with the OEM case. It also does not stick in pockets, and offers some good protection, GET ONE

I currently use a Body Glove case myself, I attached two pics below. I just hate thee kickstand has put two scratch marks on my battery cover where the kickstand rubs the back of the phone. But the case has really helped protect my HD2.

I was wondering if the cases in post #4 were for the T-Mobile HD2 myself but I guess not, bummer I liked that one dude had. Check out the Body Glove pics I attached though see what you think.

Could you maybe post some pics or a link to this cover I would like to have a look at it.
For a plastic case, I REALLY like this one::
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-CASE-MATE-BLACK-BARELY-THERE-CASE-HTC-HD2-LEO-/130425023698
slips easily in and our of your pocket and is barely noticable if the phone is sitting on the table.
For work, I used this one for a european HD2 ::
Only problem was that, since I use android and regularly need to slide down the notification bar, I COULDNT use this as the aluminium frame comes to the edge of the screen and I couldnt touch the notification bar.
Solution:::
Its actually the PDAIR aluminium case for the T-Mobile HD2. Whilst the Tmous phone is slightly bigger, it doesnt matter with this case as the fit is SOOOO tight. Nice neoprene lining on the case to act as a shock absorber and the belt clip is brilliant for it. REALLY secure, but really easy to get the phone out.

Otterbox defender. Totally worth the money!

I agree with everyone with Otterbox Defender Series.
Amazing case.
Can anyone confirm that the capdase hard case will fit the tmobile hd2? I have read reports that say it will because of the rubber on the inside.

Review: Trident Aegis for Google Nexus S!!!

Hi guys,
Got my hands on the Aegis series case from Trident, this is a 2 piece hybrid style case that offers good protection in a relatively slim package. It comes with an included screen protection kit. The case features a cool design accented by the two color tones.
Watch the full review here:
Great review, as usual
Thanks, I'm coming close to finish off my Nexus S reviews and will most likely move onto the Samsung Galaxy S 2, i'll still try to find/obtain more Nexus S cases though!
Hey ploone,
do you know if the seidio active x belt holster will safely hold this case?? i just got the active x as i NEED to carry my phone on my hip, but i find the the active x slippery and kind of cheap compared to my case mate. now, the case mate fits in the belt holster but presses the screen against the holster which is not cool. i'm hoping to find a case that will fit in the holster properly..., any idea?

Hi there,
I haven't tried it so I wouldn't be able to say surely, however the Aegis is a little thinner than the Active X so I would believe it will fit.

Looking for a protective case with a belt clip

The HTC M8 was the first phone I decided not to get a case for, just a belt-clipped holster...... I am glad for HTC Advantage.
Anyway, not taking that chance again (especially with how slippery and thin the M8 is). My go-to for cases used to be Otterbox, especially since the defender series has a belt clip. Problem is, I saw nothing but complaints about the defender model for the M8 on Amazon's reviews. Even the guy at the Sprint store told me the defender model wasn't very good and that I should get the commuter. (Not a fan of the built-in screen protector of the defender anyway, I would have probably taken it off, I hated it even on my old EVO 3D, much less a phone that has a 1080p screen).
So now I am at an impasse, due to the fact that I have not really used any other cases, and especially not knowing which ones are good. Add to that fact that I want to be able to carry it on my belt and I am very low on options. Most of the top case recommendations for the M8 had no options that came with a belt clip, and I didn't trust most of them as they recommended the Otterbox Defender.
Browsing retail stores so I could get a good idea was also fruitless, RadioShack, Best Buy, etc carry very little in terms of the M8, even the Sprint Store I mentioned only had Otterbox and a few Speck cases (which didn't seem that protective)
I care very little about looks, I want to get a case primary for protection (reasonably.... not going to get a $100-300 waterproof, bulletproof, etc case that is 5 inches thick). Currently, the UAV Navigator looks interesting, though I couldn't find a store that had it so I could tell how thick it actually is, plus, no belt clip option.
I suppose my best bet is getting a case and a seeprate belt holster that is big enough to hold the phone with the case on it.... but pretty much all belt holsters just simply tell you which phone they fit, none would take the millions of options of cases into consideration, so I am not sure where I would even find a holster that fits whatever case I get.
Any ideas?

I'm in the same boat as you. Ordered a Tech21 case for now, but I need a belt holster and relatively rugged case!
Pretty sure Seidio's Convert case comes with a belt holster. I've had good luck with Seidio Surface cases on the past--my Note II survived a fall from four feet off the ground thanks to one--and IIRC the heart of the Convert is a Surface.

I had this one recommended to me from another forum:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IGUUKRY/
I won't lie, it IS kinda cheaply put together, but it's pretty decent for it's price. Rubber casing with a hard shell, kickstand, and belt holster. It's a little hard to get it in/out of the holster at first, but it gets broken in after a bit. Still not as easy as just clipping it out of an Otterbox holster, but even the Sprint store rep told me the Otterbox Defender cases for the M8 are terrible. And it's far less likely to fall out if you are running or otherwise shaking the holster somehow.
I have this one and like it a lot.

I always go with Otterbox, and I actually love the otterbox I have for my M8. I got the defender, and I was surprised how thin it is! I've had an Otterbox on just about every phone I've owned, and this is by far my favorite one. Don't know why all the hate is there on Amazon.

They must have more than one type of Defender. I've had Otterbox Defenders on all my iPhones (3, 3GS, 4 and 5) and loved them, but I looked at the one for the HTC One M8 and it was really flimsy and cheaply made. It was so horrible, I'm surprised they would even put their branding on it.
I just got my phone on the 1st of the month and went with this case because it came with a holster: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/pt-kick...lack/5096589.p?id=1219107945030&skuId=5096589
I like that it's sleek and thin and seems to be ok so far.

How is the kickstand? Can you use it while holding the phone to help stabilize it more in your hand?
The Spigen Ultra Hybrid fits in the Seidio Surface holster. That's the combination I use. You can actually get the Platinum case combo from Best Buy since it's a rebranded Seidio Surface case and holster, and it's cheaper than buying it from Seidio. The holster also works well with the Supcase Unicorn Beetle cases.
Aaaaaand if you wanted more protection, the Seidio Dilex holster is a perfect fit with the Spigen Slim Armor case. I think someone mention this in this thread already as well.

Can you link to that? I can't find it? I've liked Seido in the past (expensive though). I got the clear unicorn beetle supcase, and think for looks that I would prefer that...but nice to have a holster.
I got this one as well as the supcase:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L9J3I2I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I had a similar one at one point for my droid. It's alright. This type of case though while pretty slim, your phone will bounce out of it if it drops from more than a couple feet onto a hard surface. Usually the phone is fine (the case absorbs) but on the upbounce the phone will pop out,

Thanks but that link seems to be just for the case, not a holster/case combo. Am I misunderstanding?
I guess it's not a huge deal anyway as I refuse to buy anything from best buy...just wanted to see the item to see if it was available anywhere else.
