Contacted CaseMate (USA) a few days ago via Twitter and they said ETA for IS cases will be mid-April. Although Barely There cases are already being sold on eBay.

I have a bad impression about case-mate.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

This is pretty good news. I was going back and forth between a hard or silicone/rubber case and a full-body invisible shield (though they still haven't offered a hint as to whether or not one will be offered), but since the IS is actually quite reasonable in size I could go with a case-mate...

Here in the UK i recently brought the Casemate barely there from my local carphone warehouse and it seems to be, so far as i haven't actually dropped the phone yet, a good case. As the name suggests adds very little exta bulk to the phone.
Also it comes with a screen protector

The screen protector is already available and the rest of the cases are expected to be available for purchase in Europe in the middle/end April

I've had quite good experience with the Case-mate barely there cases, they provide the adequate protection with a range of colour choices also.
But at the same time I am deciding between several other cases as well, I definately won't be investing on more than one case though, for I don't see myself keeping the phone too much longer, around 6 months perhaps when the summer holiday comes and we may see a few more surprises.
PDair HTC Incredible S Leather Case
]HTC Hard Shell
They all have their own selling points, I have never really had to complain about both Case-Mate and PDair but they serve different purposes for me in someways, the Case Mate is alot more casual, and the PDair is mainly for work.
The Hard Shell shown by Mobilefun seems a reasonable choice but price is TBC, if it had other colours coming soon it would be great as well.

Thank you for the links. I'm just wondering : what is the difference between the "barely there" and the "safe skin" models?

Safe Skins are soft silicone and they cover all the back and outer edge on the front part of the phone.
Barely There covers are hard, with rubbery finish, that covers the back and the sides but not the upper and lower edge of the phone.
Correct me if I am wrong

I just bought a barely there case from this guy:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CASE-MATE-BAR..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item1e6249dccc
Ignore the picture as that is of the tough case, the barely there case doesn't cover the top or bottom edge of the phone. It is light, tough and worth having, and this eBay seller was very quick to dispatch too, would highly recommend. I will take some photos when I get home tonight.

Got one too.. It's nice and indeed looks good.. just wondering how protective it really is (i.e. in case of a fall.. which I really don't want to test..)

It should protect the phone from minor falls, using it too atm XD
If you want something "safer", Case-Mate Safe Skin should be a good bet. It's cheaper and from the pictures, looks almost similar too

Needed case and screen protector in India
Hi, I'm from India. Just got my I-S and found that HTC ships without a pouch or screen protection. I realise that casemate and expansys are EU/UK based and have no delivery in India. I have used PDAir for my earlier phone. Can anyone guide me in finding a retailer in India? I am interested in the gel/TPE/silicone cases. Tks.

Casemate pop w/ kickstand

I posted a few pics of this case in some other threads but after a few days with the case i feel its needs its own thread. This case is an awesome case. I purchased it for $40 at an at&t store and replaced my sprint bodyglove with it. The cas3 feels better in my hand then the bodyglove. It definitely feels like it would protect better if i drop it. It fits very good nice and tight. It has a really nice gloss finish and the kickstand really comes in handy when my sons watching movies. I was gona get the otterbox commuter but im liking this case so much i think this ones a keeper. I highly reccomend this case

Thanks for the quick review! I was hoping to get this case as well. I had it for my Galaxy S2 way back when (I won it online, hehe) and absolutely fell in love with it.
I don't understand why Case Mate says they weren't going to make this case, and it's already for sale, just not on their website. Exclusivity? I don't know... Lame!
I hope speck comes out with the Pixel HD case, I loved it

I bought this case today at att. I also just got my phone today.
So odd, after putting the case on my phone acts weird now. It powers off randomly and shuts off when I unplug it from a charge (occasionally)

Hmmm so far i havent had any issues. Also i had this case for my s3 bc like now it was the only good case that seem to be instock when the phone 1st came out and also just like now i had to buy it from an at&t store. But once the s3 was out for about a month as we all know every company was pumping out cases and i was switching cases every week. Ended up with an atomic green commuter but was about to go back to the casemate then i sold my s3. Its an awesome case

Have been using the very same case for almost two weeks now, and so far it's been the best case for me. I gave away the seidio surface to the at&t store, and a couple of eBay cases, since this pop will be a daily driver for the near future. If only they made the same in black, I'd switch...

I like the Pop Case as well. I had it for the GS2, GS3 and now the Note 2. It's very solid for protection and there is enough edge covered to protect the phone when it is turned face down. My favorite things about the case is the grip. It's enough to securely hold the phone and not too much that you have to battle to take it out of your pocket. The power and volume buttons are covered just right as far as no accidental presses while still being easy to press.
I don't use the kickstand too much but it could be made more solid as the hinge feels very fragile. It does work however in both portrait or landscape placement.

It's also worth mentioning that, unlike most cases like it (at least the ones I've seen), the rubber edge sits perfectly around the edge and does not touch the glass. And it is completely solid and does not move at all, so there is no accidentally slipping it off and loosing protection.

Diztronic SGN II case in stock

I had their case for my Galaxy Nexus where it provided great protection and was also lightweight. I just ordered their case for the GN II and I'm excited to receive it. I went to the sprint store the other day looking for the bodyglove everyone has been talking about but ended up buying some bulky and heavy case from ventev.
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=42_83&products_id=326
No pics are up but Clay did provide me with some rough samples. This looks to be far less bulky than the ventev and otterbox cases. I'll post pics once it arrives.

Yes, the other one was first, but I prefer to see images of the case on the phone. (like I'm sure most users would)
The TPU site doesn't provide that - this post does.
I vote to keep this one and kill the other.

Would like to purchase via amazon.

ooh. looks like they will have a clear one too... don't want to hide that textured back of the GN2!

Just got my case in. I like it much better than the case from Cruzerlite.
Edit: First impressions. Love the matte finish and the smoothness of the back. I wasn't much of fan of the back of the Cruzerlite case, but I dealt with it. Vol Up/Down and power buttons seem a bit a "clickier".

I'm jealous! I am still waiting for mine.. hopefully tomorrow

Thanks for the reassurance. I'm waiting for mine. Bought mine on the 18th. Hopefully see it tomorrow as well.

Got the case yesterday and it is great! It doesn't slip, it's light, and offers very good protection. Without the case I would frequently hit the power button but there is less of that now. I wish I hadnt spent 30 bucks on that bulky ventev case from sprint.

If I didn't "need" a kickstand in a case, this would be my number 1 choice. Their case kicked ass on my Galaxy Nexus. This is the best slim type case with a great matte non slip finish, and the cost is always very reasonable. I wish Sammy made phones whose bodies were like this case lol.

Has anyone tried the Poetic invictus

It looks pretty good, but I've had poetic bumpers for my nexus 4 that would fall apart every couple weeks. Has anyone tried it on the Verizon model? Poetic says it doesn't fit, but they could just be talking about the buttons being smaller.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using XDA Premium HD app

I have that case in black and it's ok for the price (paid $6 for it in the UK). It's very thick by my standards and will add extra 2mm to the phone but it feels very solid and snug so I am less worried now about dropping the phone. It scratches quite easily although I'm not that bothered by it. The stand at the back is nice for when you need it but I'm not sure the extra thickness to add that stand is justified by its usefulness. It's a keeper for now given the price.
Can't comment on the Verizon model as I'm in the UK...

I'm curious about this case as well. They are releasing a Verizon version on November 15th and I'm thinking about giving it a shot.
I currently have a Diztronic, which is fine, but I'd like to know what else is out there.

I posted a small review of it on here. Don't know how to link it.

Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

I have the white case and I agree with others the case feels cheap. Its the high gloss plastic they used. The stand also, is not very useful. I ordered an incipio to see if it looks any better.

Terrible case. Looks nice, but stand is useless. You have to press it back and hold it down to get it back to being flat and flushed with the case...this really is not going to protect anything.

My issue is the openings for the flash are not tapered, Similar to the UAG M7 design. This causes indoor images to look washed out. On the M8 case UAG got smarter and tapered the openings for the flash.

I have had mine preordered for about a week. That is the only case thus far that has the plastic around the speakers. I'll apply some black mesh over them as I constantly have to pick out metal shavings out of the speakers now. I really like the design plus the price is an added bonus!

IN STOCK NOW!!!
$8 + $5 shipping.
Been looking for a nice clear case that's worthy of the HTC M8 and have narrowed it down to this case or this one but kind of leaning towards the unicorn beetle since it has a contoured body that should make for better grip plus it also looks beefy enough all around to offer great protection in case the phone is dropped. One the main reasons I picked the M8 over the S5 was because of its gorgeous design and I just can't fathom the idea of getting something that will cover up and hide that beautiful and gorgeous metal back.

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using xda app-developers app

I bought the plain one you refer to, the premium hybrid one and I'm quite happy with it. I bought it because of the wait time on the Unicorn Beetle Pro and because I wanted a case that had a more streamlined fit to the M8's contours. I have no complaints, especially since it was so inexpensive.
Like someone else had mentioned I'm not too keen on the built-in screen protector on the Pro. If it takes away from usability I'll just pull or cut it off. The Pro looks like a winner and I ordered it a week ago as well so I got it for $12 including shipping.

I received the Pro today and really impressions are quite positive. Reminds me a bit of the USA I had for my M7,but better in just about every way. I was going to remove the screen protector but I think I will leave it on for a while because it had a tacky inside surface so it keeps on contact with the phones screen, unlike the screen on cases like the Life Proof cases for iPhone. I really like the port covers and volume and power buttons. So far so good.
