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.

why so exepsnive? Because of shipping?
These cases are the best ones i've seen yet! I love the design of the surface where it is two different pieces like some iphone cases. The kickstand is nice too (wish could be in portrait mode)... but i guess only the black color is shipping? Anyone know when the other colors will be available?
bump ?
where does Seidio ship from?
Seido is in Houston TX. Was going to order with over night shipping with fb10 and total would of been $79. lol I just couldnt do it. Buyers remorse was sitting in before i could even press send. I will buy the case when they send them to Best Buy's under the name PT, or price goes down on website.

I am with you. We pay tax in Texas as well. You need a 20% off coupon to make it worth it. I have bought the cases off of Amazon and mobilecityonline for less after they have been out for a few weeks.
I got my case today!!!!!! I probably could have waited but I hate not having a holster and I love the design of the seidio holsters. I do however wish I would have got the surface case instead of the active because of the rubber they use. Everything such as lint and dust stick to it.

Oh yea after a few weeks it goes down to like $40. And best buy will have them for $40 as well. I like buying from best buy although i have a Amazon Prime membership, because my belt clip always breaks 3-4 months down the road. Best Buy always let's me exchange it. Also anyone getting this case i would go with the Surface case. The Active will really look like your holding a tablet to your head lol. I bought both many times for smaller phones. The active case is a rubber piece that goes over the surface case and then and hard plastic piece that goes on top of that lol

Actually the active case is not very big at all. It is slightly and i mean slightly bigger than the surface case.
thinking about purchasing the surface combo..its $57 total /w shipping after using the fb10 code
my question is...for anyone that has it already...is it crazy to have a phone this size on your hip? i carried all my previous phones on a belt clip but im wondering if it would look or feel really weird to have an almost tablet attached to your hip

I use that on my belt to carry my Note II around. It's so big that it it looks like I have a purse or wallet on my hip. It looks absolutely ridiculous and I care not one bit lol. And really it only looks big because of the size of the leather pouch itself. If the phone was in a case and holster, I don't think it would look bad at all. I hate having a phone in my pocket. I've been dying for a Seidio Surface case + holster, but at $60 shipped, I'm going to wait until it hits $40 at Best Buy or Amazon.
lol...im sure people are gonna be like what the....when they see it
i remember seeing a guy with a gigantic case + holster combo one time..im assuming it was the note 1...it looked really crazy
it stuck out like a sore thumb...as soon as i saw it i pointed it out to my friends..and they all already noticed before i said anything
so im assuming im gonna look crazy with it on my belt..i just picked up the note 2 tonight...im not sure if i can get used to the size...the screen size yes (that part is amazing) but carrying it around is my concern
So how else would you carry it? For myself, I'd be worried about messing it up in my pocket, plus I'd think it would be pretty uncomfortable.

I keep mine in my pocket all the time. It fits in my pocket better than my Amaze, it doesn't turn sideways in jeans or my slacks/suits.
I just make sure I don't have anything that can damage the phone in the same pocket. I also put it in my pocket with the screen facing my leg.

i dont know..for me the holster is really the only option that i want
many people put it in their pocket (honestly..idk how)...others buy the tablet-like cases and carry it as a tablet
girls can easily put it in their purses...as a guy i really dont have any ideas..which is why im hoping that buying a seidio combo works for me
So the Otterbox Defender looks like overkill, is the Siedio Active the N7 case most similar to the OB Commuter series? Is there anything else along these lines, that will offer more protection than a slim tpu/silicone backing but not so thick as the Defender?
Thanks...

The only thing that put me off the Defender for the N7 was the price, I bought the Seido Active and it really is excellent. That said I got a Defender for my phone because it was cheaper and I'd read bad reports about the active holster clip on the Seido for phones.

Thx. I am leaning towards Seidio. But with gen2 N7 coming in July, do I want to spend even $35 more on a case that I'll be using only for May and June? A lot of cases work for WiFi and not 3g of current N7, so I'd be surprised if those same cases fit the Gen2.
Other thing is before my last N7 shattered and I decided I needed a shell case, I already had this nice $40 Rickshaw custom sleeve in the mail. So I might just get a $10 Amzer or KaysCase TPU which I think will fit in the sleeve.
And then maybe a Seidio or Otterbox for the Gen2 Nexus...

Update, got the Seidio Active w/ Cover, love it. Otterbox Defender would have been too large for me, but I actually like the form factor w/ the Seidio installed.
Doesn't add *too* much bulk, it's abt 3/4" - 20mm thick with the case, but it's not noticeably too much wider, still comfortable to hold in one hand, avg sized hands anyway. And most importantly it gives the N7 a much sturdier feel, so I can have peace of mind when out and about.
I like the design, got the Royal Blue skeleton. Quality build and materials, not cheap-looking like some of the TPU cases, but still affordable at $35 (for the black)-$45 from Amazon w/ free prime shipping. Easy to install. Cutouts are good.
And the kickstand is pretty awesome. I like how the cover can snap on the back, in case maybe you're in a rush and don't have time to put it in your bag.
Very happy with this case. I hope it fits the gen2 N7, but if form factor changes I'd buy a new one anyway.

I purchased an Otterbox Defender case for my HTC M8 in April of 2014 and after a couple of months the rubber had turned mushy and swollen to a point that it no longer fit so, off to the VZW store for Otterbox Defender 2 which broke the retaining clip for the holster after a month or so, off to VZW for Otterbox Defender 3 which also broke the retaining clip and also suffered mushy rubber which resulted in my getting Otterbox Defender 4 today.
The warranty ends next month, if it'll last that long.....
I cannot recommend this case, there are MAJOR design flaws!
The concept is perfect for me, wish the execution was better. :crying:

I have used Spigen, UAG and currently Incipio dual pro but i have not faced any problem like Otterbox (rubber getting mushy and swollen) so maybe you can try another case. :good: otterbox is way overpriced imo.

I can't find another case I like as well, as for overprice they're under $25 on ebay. When this one dies I won't buy another Otterbox but I'll miss it and all the things it can do!
I use the belt holster daily, I use the kickstand nightly as my phone is my bedside clock and my phone is unmarked, no nicks, no dings, no scratches but it's hit the concrete from over 6 feet up several times, I don't know if another case can do that?

Today I received Otterbox Defender Case FIVE! The rubber on case 4 turned to mush. They're pretty cheap on Ebay so I went that route. Next time it'll be a different case, I'm about done with Otterbox...
How the hell does it turn to mush? Are you leaving it out in the sun or microwaving it?
I have had defenders for my galaxy nexus, galaxy note 2, galaxy tab 2 10.1, and an iPhone 4s over the years.
I don't have one for my m8 (way better phone than all the Samsung's listed above) yet.
The soft cover turns to a mushy spongy soft stuff and swells up so it no longer fits around the hard shell after a few months of normal use.

did you ever use the cases with a glass screen protector already on the phone?
I found a blue defender on ebay for $41 CAD after shipping and conversion from US funds.

Today we welcome Otterbox Defender case SIX!
The retaining tab snapped off the belt holder again, the rubber seems to be fine so far.
I'm using the holder from case number 4.
When it breaks or when the rubber turns to mush I'll be done with Otterbox, I already have another cheap case, it doesn't protect as well but neither does is break or disintegrate every few weeks...
Again, can't recommend this case to anyone, but as always, YMMV.
I had my usb charging port go out twice after using otterboxes religously. I called customer service and i explained my problem and my concern that the rubber flap is constantly putting pressure on the usb. She connected me to a manager and he happily asked what he could do to remedy the situation. I asked if any of the m8 cases did not have the usb flap. He said yes, and asked which color i would like. (Free) He also mentioned if something happened while using semetry case he would allow me to call and replace it with a different model of case (free). Sure my commuter case cost more then the semetry case, but this case has protected my phone just fine, and my usb hasnt went out.
Tldr- overpriced but excellent customer service.
on my defender the silicone started to peel away from the inner case, the charging flap started to tear, and the screen protector never fitted right leaving a gap and making it feel mushy, i know they used to be like the gold standard tough case, but they just aren't worth what otterbox charges, but fortunately the otterbox commuter i swapped to has been a lot better and feels much better quality, but i doubt i'll ever get another otterbox case i'd probably stay with spigen or UAG.
Hey guys,
i am very satisfied with my spigen neo hybrid in terms of looks but i couldn't pass up a deal this good. Here are two poetic cases that are on sale . I bought the Poetic Affinity case for $2.95 shipped with amazon prime. I thought some of you may enjoy trying out some cheap cases. Found it on slickdeals.

About to order the Heavy Duty one! Thank you for this!
EDIT: Yeah Doesn't seem to be working anymore Damn that Heavy case looked nice as hell.
Tried code, didn't seem to work... and not prime eligible.
Just got my affinity case and it sucks if you have a leather back. It automatically pulls off the back cover when removing the phone out of the case. Other cases do the same if you have a leather cover but this one is so stiff - it will pull off the back cover 10/10 times
Got the heavy duty case. It looks ugly, but it does the job. Also, Qi doesn't work with that case.
