Hi, I recently purchased a Case-mate htc hd2 case and I'm very disappointed in the fit (it scratches the corners damages the phone)
I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a case. I want one that is slim, doesn't fall off, and doesn't collect too much dust.
Thanks

These have always worked best for me http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Gel...asesPouches&hash=item2310287cb0#ht_1132wt_901
They don't scratch the case, they don't collect dust, they protect from bumps/scratches and they're cheap!

That one looks like the European version of the HD2
i would advise you to invest the money in buying a leather case ! They don't scratch, they robust and they look good
if you are looking for a case maybe the otterbox commuter series is good for you. the hd2 fits perfecty into the case but it is a little bit thick

If you want a case but not leather case, so what about FlexiShield Skin . It is much thicker and tougher than Silicone ones, adding little bulk to your phone, and non-slip.
best case I've found so far...capdase xpose

Suggestion
Hi, i can suggest a case from "SunCase", like these ones:
Look on Ebay for: "Suncase HTC HD2"
The only disadvantage is, that the band for outtaking the phone makes the backcover of the phone a little bit glossy ...
when i Bought my HTC: HD2 it came with a case that has served me well for two years now

I know there are several threads about cases for the HD2 here, but a few are about leather cases (which I do not want to use)...there some about the silicone/ gel cases which I would like to use, and theres the invisible skin type which I would like to know more about. I do not know if the Invisible Skin/Armor ..w/e you want to call it -they seem the same to me... are tough enough to truly protect the phone from a fall ?
I also would like to know if there are any silicone/gel cases which are thinner than usual but still provide adequate protection...
One good example I can think of is this one case I saw on an iphone -it was a clear hard case, but it was very thin which made me really like it...

Just got the Silver Case Mate Barely There today. Brilliant stuff - super snug, mirror finish, super thin. As thin and light as More-Thing's cases in fact, which I used to use when still on a Touch HD. Finger magnet but love it anyways

Better go cheapo-if i'd get a nice looking case, i wouldn't want THAT to get scrathed up either!
I ordered the capdase protector, seems to be really nice. the invisible shield and stuff like that offer no drop protection i hope mine will offer some.
Hmm... the barely there case not available yet for Tmo US HD2
I bought my "barely there" case direct from HK. Problem is, if you have multiple batteries like I do, you tend to scratch your phone when removing/replacing the case to get to the battery cover.
This led me to use the clear/invisible armor/shield, but I've had to remove the section that covers the antenna because it seems to cause rapid battery drain - see my post at thread 652013.

and i find it's great.
is it much different than the one shipped with the hd2?
Tried quite a few cases but my fav so far is this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390149733765&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Also known as flexishield case. It's like a soft plastic / gel case so glides in and out of your pockets easily and doesn't stick/attract lint like some silicone cases. It offers good protection but only adds about 1mm thickness to your phone.
I recommend black/gray but the choice is yours.
I actually ordered one like that...
but I find it hard to believe that it only adds 1mm thickness, 1mm is like a screen protector thickness almost....idk maybe I am wrong?
Okay maybe two then
But certainly doesn't add much at all. A screen protector is micron thin. I don't think it adds 1mm...
There are also variations in the gel type cases. Some are actually thicker. My friend bought a similar one but was quite a bit thicker. It had like a checked pattern on the back.

You guys may want to check the HTC HD2 Armor Case by BoxWave - The Metal Case sells @ Amazon.com for $27.95 (US DLS) I just bought 2 one for my wife & me. My thing is; you have a pretty nice and expensive phone, you better protect it good!!!
Armor Case by BoxWave it sells on amazon.com for $27.95 US dls. Really nice!!!! I just bought 2!!
Please post which cases are confirmed to fit the US T-Mobile version of the HD2.
I'm currently using the black gel case that came with it, but it makes me worry, as it comes off easily and does not cover the camera at all! I fitted 2 tiny pieces of duct tape around the camera to protect it - there has to be a better solution

The OEM European leather slip case fits the US Tmo version perfectly. Very thin and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all. I really like it. Though I'm still hoping Sena comes out with an ultraslim slip for it because I like the feel of real leather.

Does your TMO HD2 fit in the case with the provided gel case installed as well? I'm thinking "no" but I would like to know for sure. Thanks!
The rubber slip on that comes with it sucks. It's loose and it collects lint like a mother... There is really nothing good onlinethat I can tell. However, T Mobile sells a few slip ons at their store.
The black one they sell is soft rubber and just as sucky as the one that came with it, but the purple case they sell that is in a clear box is rigid and strong, fits tight and awesome... The downfall is that it's purple... but it's only 14.99 so I bought it. It picks up no lint and is very rigid and fits super tight. Much like your pal's Iphone case. it will work for now, until Seidio or some other good case company puts out something else. This case doesn't protect the camera at all but it's great it every other way... (Besides being Purple) check out the pics. I put that decal on there to make it a little less feminine maybe? It won't let me post the pictures so hopefully the links work and you can cut and paste. Sorry. Says I'm a new user... put the http stuff in front of it if you want to see it.

I thought magnet cases are not good for the phones with accelerator . G-sensor, GPS, etc???
I saw that one at fommy.com... My issue is that they don't show the back of the case and I want to make sure that if I buy another case, that it protects the camera lens... I'm holding out for Boxwave's honeycomb case.
Having exactly the same case on my previous phone (Nokia E71) I have found the same style just for US T-Mobile HD2 - it's not really the full case BUT it will do great job with Invisible Shield over the screen

I got this case from ebay,it might meet your needs. It's relatively thin (thinner than I expected). I really like the case. It's design requires a belt, it won;t just clip on you your pants without a belt.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...977462?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c2b167976
Also got this one from ebay, but it's not as thin. It will clip on even with out a belt.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Genui...725366?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51a356cb76
I think both or nice depending on your use, but like the first one for thinness and everyday carry (with Belt). The second is good when I don't have a belt, I can clip them to my shorts when running. Best of all their cheap enough that can get both.
Note 1 pouches work. I tried a few in vegas. Waiting on one to ship from ebay now. Will update when it arrives.

I , order a seido not paying attention at the time you needed a case with it .. So when i recieved it I modified it .. I measured and cut small pieces of the soft part of velco and put one on each side of the bottom of the holster and one on the top that has the spring that you move with your finger ... And one piece on one side and 2 peices one on top of the other to fill in the extra space and make it fit snug .. And it works great no problems .. you can put one on top of the other as needed to make it fit snug ... hope this helps you out ...

Anyone know a case that's little more than a thin plastic shell? Any TPU car would be too thick. I got a Quicksand case, but it's a mm thick (digital calipers read 1.06 mm). That's still too thick. Something less than 0.5 mm and hours up to the glad would be great.
I don't need any protection, I just hate the glossy plastic. I've got a Slickwrap, but it doesn't cover the edges and looks crappy. I would consider a skin or wrap that goes as far up the sides as the gray plastic line bisecting each edge.
I don't want to paint or sand down the plastic because I'm probably going to sell this phone if there's a Nexus phone this year.

I don't understand. Do you realize I'm looking for thin cases? Almost all TPU cases are going to be too thick because TPU would be too susceptible to tearing if molded so thin.
Now find me the TPU case that is susceptible to tearing due to thinness and I'll probably buy it. Like I said, protection means nothing. I just hate coming into contact with the glossy plastic.
Have this and love it. Barely adds anything to the phone.

It's exactly what you want. The grip is fantastic. The material has some weird matte/fabric finish and is the best grip case I ever had. On all phones. It adds zero bulk, trust me.
My 5 times more expensive and durably, but bulky as hell, Spigen Slim Armor is collecting dust in the drawer.

I don't understand. Do you realize I'm looking for thin cases? Almost all TPU cases are going to be too thick because TPU would be too susceptible to tearing if molded so thin.
Now find me the TPU case that is susceptible to tearing due to thinness and I'll probably buy it. Like I said, protection means nothing. I just hate coming into contact with the glossy plastic.

Was just trying to help, this case is very thin imo. I haven't had any issues with tearing and the glosssy back is the same reason I bought it. Why not get a skin if all you want is to cover the back.

whats the slimmest case that also offers some screen protection? Something like the Spigen case, but a bit less bulky?

So we just need one specific for the VZW version.
I have a similar material one for my moto x and it's the best lightest protection ever! Very light weight and protects against scratches and mild bumps.

For Verizon, just use the Incipio Feather case. That is what I have, looks just like all these posted, and is designed for the Verizon model specifically (you can even buy them in any Verizon store).
I've had my incipio feather case on since day 1. Still looks great. My phone has had a few nasty spills and never had any damage... even the case looks new. It has a soft "rubber" like coating on it, but the case itself it hard and snaps on. Never had a problem with it coming off (it is actually quite hard to come off. It also has a TINY TINY lip that when facedown, will keep the screen off the surface.

That's what I have, and it's slippery. It's nothing like the blue/green textured ones that we were discussing, which aren't (today) avail for the VZW version.
edit: will also add that the incipio has sharp edges at the corners. The other one is not sharp like the incipio.
Try Body Glove skin, not a case but textured, comes in metallic, wood, carbon fiber, etc finishes. Its should be useful gor what you want/need and it covers the edges.
Could we post some of the thinnest cases we've found? Like Rinke slim, etc..
I like the cases that are so thin with the tops and bottoms open, but they seem to be rare nowadays
Not sure if it's thin enough for you but I like the way this looks. I think the reason very think and open cases are so rare is that they barely offer any protection with large phones
This is crazy thin and with the price might as well order just for the hell of it...
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Case...Back-Case-For-Samsung-Galaxy/32398559531.html
The Ringke Slim is one of the tiniest cases around and it covers the top and bottom of the case with a good amount of protection. The Ulak clear slim case is also very thin and offers a shock proof protection with it's tpu sides and clear back.
I'm not looking for major drop protection. I like ultra thin cases to mainly protect the finish and camera lens when I lay my phone on random surfaces, as well as hiding some of the awful fingerprints and finger grease.
Thanks guys
The official Samsung case is by far the slimmest case. If you want to even call it a case,
I had one for my S6 Edge and its basically like nothing is on the phone and just protects the corners and back glass.
But its expensive

Agree. I picked up this case (clear) at Tmobile and it looks great.

Does anyone know if the rubber-ish looking stuff on the top and bottom are grippy?
I like how the glass on the note5 is grippy to the hand, but slippery in the pocket/on cloth.
My worry is that the polycarbonate might be the opposite -- and always catch going into a tighter pocket.

I'm not sure about this specific case, but I know what you mean. The glass is grippy to my fingers but a polycarbonate incipio case I bought for it is very slick. I may have to return it.
I'm hoping that Orzly will make one. I have their frost thin case on my S6 and love it. Just enough to protect against scratches and thin enough to keep the "feel" .
So, I received 2 Rinke slim cases, clear and black. I have the Rinke Fusion as well.
Quick impressions.
Clear Rinke Fusion. It's ok, slightly bulky for me tho. Fits perfect, cutouts are where they should be. Case has an annoying piece of tape/plastic on the inside that was a PITA to remove. I'd say it's a 7/10.
Rinke Slim, Black. Perfect fit, hugs the contours of the phone perfectly. Cutouts are great, especially around the Spen. I feel like the fusion case made it slightly more difficult to remove the spen, the Slim doesnt.
Rinke Slim, clear. I really really wanna use this case, it's crystal clear and looks so good on the phone. Problem is, it doesn't fit perfectly like the black version. When you slightly squeeze the sides, you can feel the case move. Really lame.
I'm also using the Ringke SF Black Case and it's very thin based on my thinness standards. pics are below (i'm reposting pictures from my post at Android Central).
