I highly recommend that you get the Otterbox Commuter. I own the Innocase II and Innocase Active and the Otterbox Commuter stands above both. The Innocase II is nice if you don't care as much about durability or aesthetics, the Active is a damn good improvement over the Innocase II and provides a lot more protection and looks nice, but the buttons are difficult to push. The Commuter is very aesthetically pleasing, much more durable than any case I've held before, not noticeably thicker compared to the Active, and the buttons are so much easier to push. I used the Innocase II for ~3 months, the Active for ~4 months, and just got the Commuter by mail. I'm loving every bit of it.

Personally, the best case I've had (I've had the Innocase II as well) has been the black glossy silicone case I purchased from Verizon. It fits like a glove, looks clean and stylish, gives adequate protection to the camera, and is a bit raised on the front so the screen it protected from a fall or from a rough surface.
It's also available in a couple other colors I believe.
I used a coupon and got it 15% off for about $15 if my memory is correct.
I really was not happy with the Innocase AT ALL. Seidio's quality is progressively decreasing. Also, after a few drops, the random areas of the surface of the case start to peel off, making it ugly and removing any uniformity that existed before.
Note this was after I had to order a replacement from Seidio due to a design flaw in their product. The replacement I received was still flawed. They're just not reliable.

Just got the otterbox defender series, LOVE it

I agree 100% with you here. My fiancee has gone through about six cases for her Incredible and she keeps coming back to the red TPU case sold by Verizon.
I recently changed to the same black glossy TPU case you mentioned. I will never buy another type of case again. It fits tight and looks awesome!

yea i used the innocase II and it just scratched the bezel of the phone. i was excited when i read the description of the case because it said it was "lined" with a soft fabric so dirt wouldn't scratch the phone, but they only lined the back of it and not the sides. so ultimately dirt got underneath and messed up the phone.
after i realized that, i switched to the verizon case i originally bought. on one, i cut out the volume and power buttons so u were touching them directly. worked good, but my cutting wasn't as smooth as i liked so snatched my sisters black case and use that one now.

I couldn't agree with him more, except that I bought the Rugged Combo case (which gives me the holster for the Surface II and the Rugged case and holster).

The first case I used was the Innocase II Surface. I liked it for the most part. The back pieces didn't match up quite perfectly, but it was barely noticeable and not a problem at all. My main problem was that it was so tight (considering I have a slightly thicker 1500 battery) that it would put a lot of stress on my screen protector when sliding it on or off. It eventually started to peel the top left corner off, and you know those things, once they start peeling off there's no stopping it.
I heard really good things about the Otterbox Commuter so I went ahead and ordered one of those and I'm thinking it was a mistake now. The usb port cover does not stay in. The hard outer shell is way to slippery for safety. For the amount of thickness added you would expect to be holding a phone with an exteded battery or maybe one from 3 years ago. Some people like a little bit more thickness to their phone, and were that the only issue I would probably be pretty happy with it, but all three of these things together make it seem like I got less than I expected. The inside silicone layer feels like it adds a lot of shock protection but I take pretty good care of my phones and rarely drop them. My next door neighbour has an Otterbox Commuter for his iPhone 3GS and it is worlds better. The hard shell covers all 4 sides, all the plugs fit in, and it conforms to the shape of the phone. Why they wouldn't mold this case around the shape of the phone and instead opt to make it more brick like is beyond me.
I think I'm going to sand down some parts on my old Innocase II Surface and try it back out again.

I use a Red HTC silicone glove. Fits very snug, bought it from best buy after trading in some old ass games, they still take xbox games unlike gamestop. Cost $30 but minus the $24 trading in 6 games. $6.... best buy takes trades for almost every electronic now...

seidio is great, i have it

nothing competes with seidio innocase II... nothing

Yeah, I got a Seidio Innocase as well. Fits very well and has protected my phone properly from 2 drops so far. Feels great and doesn't feel like it adds too much bulk or weight. You should get it too.!

Look up Case-Mate Tough Case. Double layer protection is the best and it looks better than any of the other ones.

I bought an Otterbox defender series case. It's nice but not worth the money. I'll buy another Otterbox case for my next phone but may try the commuter series case instead.

Same here. Granted...this is my 1st and only case I have for my Inc, I like the look and feel of the vzm silicone/rubber case. I may try an otterbox though.

For the price.. go with my el cheapo case in my sig!

I've used the Otterbox Commuter ever since it came out and I love it. Thinking about upgrading to the Defender series though but I think it may add too much bulk. I didn't have a back door for my phone for over a month and my otterbox held my phone together literally. It is WELL worth the price. I've dropped this phone hard enough to smash it into pieces and thank god i had an otterbox on it that prevented that, plus if they break it's a free replacement

I bought a cheap, hard-rubbery case from Verizon at my local store. It works great, but I honestly hardly ever use it. I'm surprised my phone still works. I drop it at least 3 times a week from decent heights (out of my truck onto asphalt or from my lap to the tile floor).
Dincs are surprisingly very durable.
I do however have a screen protector.

I forget the exact price of a DInc but it's somewhere between $300-$400. spending $40-$50 on an Otterbox that will keep it from breaking for sure is worth it, not to mention Otterbox will replace the cover if it breaks and pay for your phone too I think. Just my opinion. I am not risking my phone with a cheap Verizon cover.

[Q] Best case for HD7

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.

dell streak otterbox defender

OMG this thing is huge. Probably the worst purchase of my life. it makes my pockets and bulge and looks like i have a freaking tank inside. I'm sorry, but going from an iphone defender to this is like going from a phone to a ****ing TV. Who in their right mind would use something so hideous and large. I'm sorry for ranting but this item sucks.

Yeah i have the commuter case from Otterbox and its also fairly large .
On the plus side every time someone sees my phone like at a checkout counter or where ever all i hear is "OMG that is one huge phone" so i guess if your looking for a conversation piece then buy an Otterbox case and your all set .
I love the protection it offers even if it starts approaching the size of a 7 inch tablet with the case on ..

I had the commutter and then got the defender so that I could have a belt clip. It is huge. I hate how it makes it 3 times thicker than the actual phone.
I'm thinking of switching back to the commuter or getting some other case/folio or something.
I think the phone itself is amazingly thin considering what it is and does.

I am glad to read about someone who has had both because i was also tempted to upgrade/downgrade to the defender after seeing my brothers Defender case for the Samsung Captivate..
Now that i know it makes it ridiculously huge i wont even bother.
I wanted a belt clip for the phone because i am always just carrying my phone in my hand since i hate things in my pockets .

Actually, I thought the Commuter added the right amount of thickness to the Streak. It feels more like a phone to me now than a tablet. The Defender, at 70% of the weight of the Streak itself, was way too much.
I don't use a belt clip, but simply slip the phone into my front pocket and go.

exactly, if we could have protection without adding bulk or size on this phone it would be perfect. alas we have to settle for **** like otterbox that takes away the beauty of the phone. people already say hoe big the phone is without the case. I almost feel shameful for putting such an atrocity on this phone.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

what about the impact? does it make the Streak look bulky to the degree some of you guys are mentioning as well?

The Commuter and Impact add 1.9 and 2.1 ounces of weight to the phone. Having an Otterbox adds a little bit to the thickness of the phone but you can very easily slip a phone with a Commuter or Impact case into your pocket.
The best of the three Otterbox cases is the Commuter. Less heavy than the Impact and easier to slip into a pocket than the Defender, it also suffers less from the "silicon dust magnet" problem that affects all silicon rubber cases by having the polycarbonate back panel and sides.

I bought one generic from eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300500734438&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT and it's much thinner than my Otterbox Impact case

I also bought tpu case from ebay. I have 2 different outterbox cases and I like how tpu case is cheap and slim. Hoever, I find it very hard to press the power button. I ave to press it 4-5 times in order to turn the screen on with tpu case.
Can anyone give me some feedback on this if they are using it?
http://tiny.cc/qtc7j
I am thinking about purchasing it. yes I know its cheap but I dont want to buy 4th case and wait a month to get it only to be disappointed.
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protec...-back-case-for-dell-streak-mini-5-black-80791

I have one of the cheaper otterbox cases, maybe the impact? Got it for 7 bux shipped. It's just silicon and a screen plastic. It does make the phone thicker and weighty, but it has protected the thing from multiple bumps and scratches I would have had otherwise.
That, and the silicon gives me piece of mind it's in my pocket and didn't slip out since it sticks to cotton almost.

i love otterbox products, have owned several, and was mightily impressed with the quality of the defender on my gtab 7
so i opted initially for the impact for my streak 5, i was pretty disapointed actually, although the silicone is of very high quality and nice thickness, the two side parts that run down the length of the phone, is far too flexible and virtually flaps about, it needs to be far more rigid somehow
so with that, i purchased the commuter, and boy is this thing quality, a bit lighter to the feel than the impact, using lighter/thinner silicon for first layer
but when you snap the plastic shell over the silicone, its transformed into a solid, rigid, very smart looking shell. highly impressed with the commuter, easy to slip into and out of pockets
the commuter is probably the best case for the streak that exists.
it has restored my faith in otterbox, but they have fallen short with the impact on those side 'struts' imho, looks sloppy

After trying all three Otterbox cases and a TPU case I settled on the Commuter as the best. All of the Otterbox cases work very well with the buttons on the Streak. The Defender was too bulky and the Impact collected too much lint and did not fit as snugly as the TPU or Commuter.
My case rankings:
1) Otterbox Commuter
2) TPU case
3) Otterbox Defender
4) Otterbox Impact
If you watch eBay you can find a Commuter at a decent price - I got mine for about $15.

Yup - I got my commuter case for about 20 bucks - I'm not very fond of the screen protector that comes with the commuter, but you can change that up pretty easy. I like the hard outside shell on the commuter, it makes it feel strong, and slides into your pocket pretty easy, turn the phone screen down and set it on a table or wherever, and now the rubber holds it in place.. very nice design, works well, keeps it safe.
Cheers!

I bought the commuter for myself and then I bought the Defender for my son's Streak. I switched them around to see if I liked the defender better, but it is so damn HUGE...
I believe that it will do what it says... a cheap case may only provide cheap protection. (Buyer beware)
The belt clip portion of the defender doesn't fill me with awe... it feels cheap and while secure enough while on your belt, it is VERY bulky and just for that reason it may cause more issues than it saves.
I think I'm going to revert back to the Commuter for my phone and the Defender for my son... at least the belt clip provides some screen protection...

I have the defender case for mine and you're right...it's huge. The holster doesn't feel very secure for me so I took a heat gun and heated up the tabs and bent them in just a little. Way better now. I have had to do this with every otterbox defender case I've ever purchased, which is one for the Dell Streak and 3 for iPhones for the rest of the family. I wish they would make the holster a tighter fit. On the other hand, their customer service is out of this world. I have ripped the rubber portion on an iphone and broken two holsters (one iphone, one dell streak) and each time, they have sent me replacement pieces no questions asked and no charge.

I agree with strick242, otterbox customer service is best of the best. I had them replace torn rubber on iphone defender and then follow up to make sure I was satisfied.
The commuter is the otterbox i settled on. it doesn't add too much size and offers good protection. I don't like the rubber tab over the charge/sync port though.

Seidio Active or Otterbox Defender or other?

I'm looking for a fairly durable case (just for me clumsily dropping it... I work a computer job so it doesn't need to be bulletproof) with some sort of kickstand and a belt clip. The only 2 I've seen by reputable brands I've seen for this has been the OtterBox Defender (with the holster being the kickstand) and the Seidio Active (with the case having it's own kickstand).
The Otterbox Defender seems overkill for my needs, but my wife has an Otterbox Commuter for her iPhone 5 and I'm super impressed with the build quality. But the Commuter has no kickstand or belt clip. I was curious if anyone has experience with the Seidio Active and how it compares to the OB Commuter and if the kickstand being way off center is an issue in day to day use? Or if there are any other suggestions?

The Active for the Note 2 is getting somewhat dubious reviews based on the inner layer being very loose around the edges. I personally won't use an Otter Box Defender because the interior plastic case, in a perfect display of why hard plastic should never be in direct contact with your phone, scratches up the phone case itself, the built-in screen protector actually traps dust and sand under it (leading to scratches), and the whole thing caused overheating problems with my Skyrocket.
I'm awaiting a Seidio Surface case, but if you look on eBay or Amazon, you'll find cases that are essentially identical to the Seidio active, but $10-12 instead of $40+. On eBay, they're called Rugged cases. On Amazon, they're called Rhino cases.

I looked at the Surface as it also has a kickstand but I'm a little hesitant as it just doesn't seem to provide enough protection. Maybe I'm a little "gun shy" because I dropped my last phone and cracked the screen. That's also the reason I'm hesitant about any of the $10 cases on Amazon or Ebay. Does their protection really compare with something like an Otterbox or Seidio?

i actually ordered an Active that just arrived, but im going to send it back without even trying it. too many reviews about the rubber bring loose has turned me off from it. i have an Ionic case on it now and it seems that it might due until the Trident Aegis comes out. I'm wondering if the Aegis can fit in the Seidio holster? Otherwise I'll continue to pocket it and wait for something else.
I'm not going with the Defender because of the rubber inner peace loosing it's form over time with previous purchases. Ottorbox has had excellent customer service with replacements, but I don't want to go through the hassle.

I have the rugged/rhino case for my note 2.
It's ok, I personally don't like the feel of the rubber, especially compared to otterbox or casemate.
Also the bottom part of it is pretty loose.
It's ok for $8 but I'll be replacing it soon when something else shows I like.

I too have the Rugged (from eBay) while I wait for Seidio to process my refund of the Active. The holster for the Rugged is mega cheap, and the clip popped off on the first day that I had it last week. I contacted the seller, who actually sent me a whole new case and holster, which is nice, but it is the same POS holster that will break soon. It will do while I wait it out.

Just and FYI, I received and email from Ballistic that their case is now out for order.

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:

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,

My friend has the Supcase and it fits perfectly in that holster. Fits better than my Spigen Ultra Hybrid!

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.

That's with the holster as well. If you look thru the pictures it's pictured there. That's the exact one I bought.
