Looks like Poetic has revamped it's Revolution case design for M8. Thinking about ordering this. Looks pretty comparable to Otterbox. http://www.poeticcases.com/revolution-5
Ordered from Amazon for less than 10.00

Some with the beetle case. Poetic is thinner and still works with the tempered glass protector.

Only $2.95 + shipping on Amazon, but it looks like the IR port is covered. I wanted to see how it compares with the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro which is a fantastic case and supports IR.

I just got mine in and it's a lot lighter than the Otterbox Defender. Doesn't seem as bulky either. The touch response is a lot better too. On the Defender, the built in screen protector was a little loose and had some play between it and the screen. On this one, there is no play. The design is really nice. I only used the Defender when I rode my bike and then immediately took it off, with this one, I think I'll use it daily.

i ordered this last night and am excited. for under $10 shipped, it could be a steal.
quick question tho for elir41 or anyone else who has it already-- will it work with a tempered glass (MIME feather glass) screen protector?
my hope was to run the glass protector always and swap between this and the seidio surface kickstand case as appropriate.
anyway, ill post when i receive mine, but earlier feedback from those who already have the case is appreciated

I don't think you'll be able to use the tempered glass screen protector. The phone fits really snug in the first portion of the case and the built in screen protector lays right against the screen.
I don't have a screen protector so I can't give you a guaranteed answer, but from what i see, I don't think you'll be able to. Sorry man.

appreciate it man. after reading your response i did a little additional research and found out about the seidio convert which goes on top of the surface and supposedly offers otterbox-like protection. if this case doesn't work, ill just get that. probably a more elegant (but also more expensive) solution, anyway. regardless ill post in here when i get the poetic case and let peeps know.

You can probably just pop out the plastic screen protector. I did that with the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro. BTW this case looks a lot like the Unicorn Beetle Pro. I wonder if maybe it's just a rebranded version of it...hmm...

So it looks like they have a clear strip at the top of the case to allow for IR to work. Have you tried it? Does it still work through the case?

The IR blaster doesn't work, unfortunately. The top strip is clear, but it looks like it's purely cosmetic. I think if they followed the strip through the power button cover, it would've worked. Not sure why they didn't.

I am in love with this case.
I went from otter commuter. To love mei aluminum. This is the perfect medium.
It's light and also durable .
Buttons are super responsive and the built in screen protector is actually very nicely done.
Not bad for $16 shipped
Edit : the bottom cover port will get loose and not close after a few days. That's too bad

Maybe the Seidio Convert case is what you'd be looking for? It's kind of expensive, but looks like it provides a ton on protection.
Edit: Looks like this would work if your duty belt was 1 1/2" or smaller.

I would love to get the UAG, but I need screen protection and from what I see, they do not offer a case like the defender.
It comes with a screen protector.... but also the front lip of the case extends maybe a 1/4 of an inch past the screen to protect from falls, if that's what you mean
I want something with a hard plastic cover for the screen, just like the defender.
I don't have time to look through the patents that they have (76 issues, 70 more pending), but if I recall, having a screen protector built into the case is one of them

depending on which region youre from, with the money you save from buying a UAG instead of an otterbox, you can afford to add a tempered glass screen protector as well, which offers better protection. this is the route i went, still waiting for my clearvue glass screen protector though.

That case looks amazing, and it looks like that snap piece that the clip is on could fit onto a large belt.
I have no need for the clip piece, but I may buy one since I am looking for a defender replacement due to the stupid echo. For $20 shipped from China, I might as well get one and put a review up here.
Ordered it, should be here in 6 months or so thanks to china post

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.
Beetle
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!

$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.
Just picked up the unicorn beetle pro (the otter box level one ) and just wanted to say it is a great case, I'm not much for writing reviews but can answer any questions if anyone else was looking at this case. It seems super durable, it's thick but reasonably so, the ir /power button has a clear cover so it still functions. The rubber sides are much harder than an otter box and don't pull on and off when you pull it from your pocket like some other cases.

I'll add to the positive reviews of this case. I ordered it early through Amazon so I too got it at a great price figuring I had very little to lose. I'm extremely pleased with most aspects of this case. I'm coming from an M7 with a UAG case so I have something good to compare this case to. Best things about this case are:
-built-in screen protector with tacky back. this keeps the plastic protector in constant contact with the screen so not air gaps like LifeProofs iPhone case
- completely covered plastic power button. much better IMO than UAG's slotted rubber button because it provide tactile feedback
-port covers. keeps the dust out
-very little metal is exposed. the camera lenses on back have the typical case protection but I really like the plastic around the speaker grills. looks good and looks like it'll provide adequate protection from most anything short of extreme sports
The only thing that I don't like is that the back of the case has a slight curve to it versus the flat back of the UAG case. But I figure this is why the Unicorn Beetle doesn't feel so bulky.
I was planning on only using this case for when I'm doing yard work, hiking, or playing in the park but I'm happy enough with it at this point that I'll likely leave it on most of the time. It's a great value, even at the current price. I will watch the price closely on this and probably pick up another one if the price drops.
Here we go!
I popped out the plastic screen cover and removed the residue. Case still fits great with my Nillkin Glass screen protector!
The other case is the regular Unicorn Beetle so you can see the size difference.
Sorry delete
Yeah built in screen protector is not that bad but doesn't work well with a wet apply style below it as I had one on mine , they stick together. I'm going to order a glass one and pop out the plastic eventually but the built in is good enough for now

Gestures
Got the case today, and seems like a pretty stout case. I removed my clear plastic as I have a SpartanShield screen protector on it. Customized it a little to my needs... Added mesh on the speakers. It didn't mess with the FFC much, but has a slight difference. I need this mesh as I'm a machinist, and have always had to dig out metal shavings. My main concern is since I've installed this case I havent had much luck with getting gestures to work. It seems like sometimes it doesn't work at all, and other times it seems fine. Didn't know of anyone has had this experience yet.
I haven't had any issues with the touchscreen, but I have a glass screen protector. Loving this case so far. Very well made. Way better than my Otterbox Commuter.

Did you remove the plastic screen protector before applying the case? If not, did the glass screen protector cause a gap between the plastic around the speakers?

Nope, it is very slim in comparison to other cases like it. I was surprised at how good it is for the price
I got this case for .01 cents on Amazon thanks to someone on the forums here. I freakin love this case! I originally bought a case from Best Buy for $34.99.. PSSSHHH.. this blows that out of the water.. price? $2.00 included shipping! Scratches? None. The one at Best Buy was full of them right in the packaging even. It was the only case they had at the time since the M8 was brand new.
Adds a little bulk to the phone, but it's not bad.. it's not a crappy iPhone! Those things look like bricks.
Sadly doesn't seem to be available in UK

I was just defining what a bumper style case used to be. Even in later iPhone models where antennagate issues were fixed, Apples Bumper case spawned a whole line of similar style cases for iPhone and other handsets. Companies like Spigen and Draco continued to make bumper cases without rear sections, for design and for edge protection. Latter even made one for the M7 ( http://www.dracodesign.com/draco-one-aluminum-bumper-for-htc-one-m7-black/).
Now it appears a bumper case can mean anything. Bumper to me always suggests "around the edge or extremity". The bumper on a car is at the edges. The bumper in a pinball machine is an edge.
Phones still have antennas dude. They just might not be wrapped around the edges!

He he yup!
I kinda miss not having a "phone of the masses" as the range of cases for iPhone is virtually without limits. Spigen did some really nice true bumper cases made up of two parts one part soft bumper with a harder plastic outer bumper you slipped over the softer one.
Guess it'd be harder to create a bumper for the M8 given its slimmer profile and more rounded off edges. The iPhone was quite squared.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Back when I had my iPhone 4/4s I used to be amazed at how much people spent on their phones protection, it even got to the point where they were buying protection for their cases.
I've gotta say, after trying 3-4 other silicon/PU cases, the one from Spigen has got to be the best.
I like that there is a lip around the screen so even with a tempered glass screen protector, the phone won't rest on the screen.

is it bulky?
I had a spigen case for my previous phone (Nexus 6) with a beautiful design, but I don't like the mate 10 pro spigen case design...

Got to agree, good quality from Spigen as usual. Only £10 from Amazon and looks better than all the no brand cases.

Not bulky at all. Maybe a few mm more than the included clear case.
The Spigen is the one you want. Trust me.

I kinda questioned the same about the odd rectangle part around the camera. Turns out that part releases heat when it's warm while gaming etc. It's like a heat sink fin since the motherboard is around the camera. It's a bit thick but that's the point. To protect the camera and the glass back and front. It's a dust trap though so need to clean it at times especially around the camera.
So I've have my mate 10 pro for a few days, and after looking at all the cases on eBay,Amazon,ect I've settled for this spigen case, it's the most I've pumped out for a case (£13.96 delivered UK) but the all glass body has me worried
Are you guys happy with the case now it's been out a month or so?

Yep, very happy. Dropped the phone a couple of times and no damage done. Looks smart. No issues at all.

Thanks, do you use a screen protector as well?

Yes, currently using a tempered glass screen protector from Basstopuk purchased on Amazon.
Fit isn't great to be honest, so looking about for something better.

My spigen case arrived today, Like others have said this case is worth the money,
Its not as bulky as I expected and it feels nice in hand.
Also my little finger fits nicely in the groove where the charging port is.

I've got 2.5d screen glass... bad idea not cover full, small edge all around stay not stick on screen then bad display
Avoid them very bad experience on 3 models.
Full coverage : never tried on mark 10pro. But thinking about to buy on.

The spigen case is available on Amazon for about £10 in the UK.

Yeah the 2.5d screen protector is garbage, I wish I hadn't removed the one that Huawei fitted because the glass one is too narrow for the screen its still peeling around the edges,
Here's the link for the case ,is a UK based eBay seller

Fantastic case, there is only one thing I don't like.
I can't see my beautiful blue back of the phone and in the front there is nearly nothing but display. Is there a chance of getting a transparent spigen case?
