HTC PO S511 Case for HD2

Got my official HD2 flip top case today... it's ok, but doesn't clip closed securely. Fit round the device and camera is good but just let down by the catch.
Would not recommend as when it pops open, the clip tends to sit right onto the speaker and pressure would likely cause damage to the screen/ speaker.

I'm surprised to hear that. althought I'm using a Piel Frama iMagnum at the moment, I really like the PO S511 Case..!! the one I have closes really good, I worried about that as well but the end of the closing/catch is just big enough so it won't fit into the speaker.. maybe you can try to bend it a little so it will close better..
I find the design rather brilliant, the way it follows the tappered design of the HD2, I mean the bottom part of the case is just a little bigger then the bottom of the HD2 and the top flip fit's precisely inside the screen, and offers great protection for your screen when it's in your pocket of you open jacket and you might accidently hit something. I liek the way it closes, you can open and close it easily with one hand and because it has no snaps it lays flat on the table and makes it about the least bulky flip case you can find.
Also, call me weird, but it smells exactly like a p-dair case when it's new, I would not be surprised if they where made by them for hTC.

I have only seen pictures of this case, and I am curious as to how it works. Is the device itself somehow strapped or mounted to the case so that it doesn't fall out when the case is flipped open?

it makes use of the smart tapered designed sides of the hd2.. the sides of the case are slightly bended inwards so the HD2 slides in like a V-groove untill it hits the slightly upwards bended connectors of the flip on the bottom. althought it clamps pretty good by itself, it's prevented from sliding out by the hole in the back, that's perfectly placed for the camera, speaker and flash, and the camera kinda locks the device inside the case.. it's all very smart designed for such a simple case.

I'm using the same case.... seemed v tight to start. actually it's a perfect fit, and I mean perfect... and the clip is secure without being over-tight. I'm amazed at the precision, but, being leather, i can believe that there may be variation & some may not be as good a fit??

I just received mine and I am loving it. The original pouch was always a hassle to take the phone out and it was a two handed operation. Now I can quickly flip open and close the case with one hand. There seems to be two variations of this case. When mine arrived I was surprised to see it was trimmed with grey stitching. The web site I ordered it from had picture of it with Yellow stitching similar to the original pouch.

it's great isn't it. yes, mine is dark brown with grey stitching while I ordered a black one with grey stitching.. (from the pictures) The one with the yellow stitching is the same as the original puch.. (at least as mine). Still looking for a black one..

i-BLASON Landscape/Portrait Case

I've had this case for about a week:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GFVF3M/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
I'd post photos, but the pictures at Amazon pretty much show you everything that there is to see about the case. Now here's my take on it.
First of all, it's not a thin case. Not even close. When it's closed, it's just under an inch thick. Which is fine for me because that's not what I was after. The Nexus 7 slides into a full leather inner case. The back of that case is covered with Velcro "loops", the soft part of the Velcro. That attaches to a large strip of "hook" Velcro that is sewn into a book-style outer case. As you can see from the Amazon pictures, depending upon the orientation of the inner case, you can place the tablet at one of three angles for viewing.
When I first used the case, the hinge on the left side was stiff - really, really stiff. In fact, sometimes it would pop open and turn the Nexus 7 on. But after a week of use, the hinge has softened, just as I'd hoped, and the cover stays closed, held that way by two magnets. The magnets also turn the tablet on and off. Folded all the way back, the magnets don't affect the tablet at all, probably because of all those layers of leather and cloth sandwiched between the magnets and the tablet.
The quality of materials seems to be good. There weren't any loose stitches. I ordered the black case with a tan interior. Every surface is a two-layer, sewn together construction of an outer leather material against an inner, soft cloth, with the outer cover having some sort of board, like the covers of a book, for extra stiffness (as does the back of the inner cover). The white stitching is a more apparent in real life than in the pictures, which some my find a bit jarring. As far as styling goes, well, it's pretty conservative. It hasn't turned any heads near me, so if that's your thing, you might want to look elsewhere (or perhaps consider one in an exciting color other than black or white).
The three long slots that serve as stops to prop the tablet up also work quite nicely to give your fingers a little grip if you're holding the tablet like a book.
I primarily use my tablet for two things: listening to music at work and reading books at home, so this cover works very nicely for those situations. At work, the Nexus 7 sits, propped at an angle, on my desk and at home, I flip the cover all the way open and it gives me a good grip for reading. Obviously, though, the one thing that it does is obscure the sleek lines of the tablet, so if that's something that you want to show off, this isn't the cover for you. Also, it strikes me that it's not exactly a champ at heat dissipation, but that has not been a problem for me yet.
The price has gone up since I ordered mine, but now it's covered by Amazon Prime, so that may be a break for some of you. I'm quite pleased with it.
By the way, I installed the Nova Launcher, which supports home screen landscape mode. It goes well with this sort of case. OK, here's a picture.

Thanks for the review. I decided to hold off for a little after the n7 was released to see what kind of cases would come out. Thanks to your review and a lot of looking around on Amazon this is the case I'm going to go with.

Review: Amzer Shellster Case/Holster

Didn't see one of these for the Note 2, so here we go:
The Shellster comes out of the box looking nice, very nice. Looks like it cost way more than $15-20. The case itself snaps onto the phone very, very snugly. It's on there to the point that getting it off involves so much pressure that you feel like you're going to break the phone, and it will probably drag across the volume rocker as you go. Kind of scary to do to a new phone.
The holster itself lacks and kind of clip to keep the phone in, but that's not a huge issue because of how tight a fit the cased phone is in there. It feels very snug and secure against your waist. The belt clip on the holster has a metal slider inside that allows it to prop the case up as a holster in either landscape or portrait orientation. It's a very nice touch. The belt clip can be rotated along a 180-degree axis to fit the phone more comfortably to your waist--a big help when your phone has a 5.5-inch screen!
All that said, there are some very real problems with it. The case does not have any protection along the top of bottom of the phone. The holster does, as it extends slightly above the top and has a plastic loop on the bottom for the device to rest in, but not the case. The case does have a raised bezel, but not by much. Given all that, I do not believe that the Amzer Shellster offers much in the way of protection in a fall.
The second big issue, and the reason mine is being returned, is poor build quality. Earlier today, less then three days worth of use on the case, I bent over to pick something up. I am not a big guy; bending over shouldn't generate a ton of stress. The holster was aligned so that it rested horizontally along my side, as opposed to resting straight up and down. As I bent over, I heard a snap, and the holster had fallen off and hit the concrete floor of my garage, with the belt clip still on my waist. Luckily, my phone was out of the holster at the time, so there was no damage. All the same, a product breaking under normal conditions three days after getting your phone just stinks of terrible build quality to me. Because of that, I can't recommend the Amzer Shellster case to anyone. Poke around on eBay or Amazon, and you'll find other holster-style cases for considerably less money. They might be of similar quality, but at least you're only breaking $8-10 instead of $20, right?
Pictures attached:
1. Phone lying on its back, case attached. See the thin strips on the side? That's the case.
2. Back of phone, bottom. Access to the S Pen remains easy.
3. Back of phone, top. Nice, raised case protects the camera and LED.
4. Top of phone. Shows the complete lack of protection up there, as well as how little of the case is up front to keep the screen from being damaged while lying face-first.
5. Damage to the holster itself, with the belt clip that popped off.

Thanks for sharing. I thought about getting one of these, but I could see that it lacked protection for the top and bottom of the phone (based on YouTube videos for other phones). Plus, as you mentioned, the hard plastic cases have the tendency to scratch phones, especially when removing them. Thanks again.

I completely agree with you in your review. I have used only seidio cases and holsters on my past 5 devices. Unfortunately, they just were not ready and shipping and I did not trust this giant phone to being in my pocket bare. I ordered the amzer case and holster and was able to get it this past week.
First thing I noticed off the bat was how tight an initial fit it was getting the case onto the phone. Was afraid I was going to crack the case or damage the phone. I was very unimpressed with the back texture of the case. It is waaaay to slick for my taste. Compared to the bare plastic of the phone, it feels like it wants to slip out of my hand holding it one handed. As you stated, there is NO protection on the corners of the phone. Top or bottom. A fall from any height that lands on a corner will have nothing protecting it.
I also noticed a huge amount of flex in the belt holder. it is made of very thin/cheap plastic. Trying to quickly take the phone in and out of the holder is more of a two handed job. Sadly, I am returning it and getting the seidio. They are finally in stock.
My advice, avoid the case. While it is inexpensive, it just will not do a good job of protecting the phone and the belt clip is just about useless.

Damm I just ordered this from expansys 2 days ago.. waiting for it to come now.. Wish I would have seen this before.. To late now.. I had this case for my Galaxy Nexus and I was happy.. That is the reason I reordered it.. Well I guess I will see what happens when I get here
Edit: got the case yesterday. I like it.for 15 bucks you can't beat it

removing Amzer Shellster case
Can you explain describe how to remove this case frome Note 2

Good review and good info. Looks like one to pass up.

I have this case since a holster case is a MUST on my list. And I do agree with OP with his concern (my clip also comes off one time but I can re-attach it without problem). But the first issue could be resolve with using another case with the holster (I did the same thing with my Note 1). Currently, I am using this Cruzerlite case with the holster without problem (a bit tight but get the work done). Therefore, it's not that bad as a cheap solution until I found better alternative.

Slide a fingernail between the case and the side of the phone at a corner (power button side is "easiest"), force the two apart. It honestly feels like you're going to break the phone in half.

Supcase Hybrid/Gel Case for M8

I got this case and was amazed by the great fit it had to the phone! It arrived in some great packaging and was so happy they had easy to remove protective film on the case. Other products have me peeling at it for 20-30 minutes sometimes to get it all off the clear pieces of the case.
I put it on the phone and it slipped right in with that reassuring "snap" sound once the lip of the case came to the front of the device. I have a bodyguardz glass shield on my phone and the lip on the case doesn't interfere with it at all! the sides of the gel feel firm and don't warp or bend away so easily which keeps everything smooth and easy to use.
My only problem is the clear piece on the back. It came with scratches and defects on it. Also the cut out for the secondary mic isnt correct. It's off and the mic sits at the bottom right of the cut out. When holding the case, i place my pinky finger underneath the phone near the usb and headphone cut outs and the gel cuts are SHARP! It feels like I will cut my finger but that won't happen. But it is VERY uncomfortable. It hasn't caused any problems but these three issues have only left it from being great.
Case & BodyGuardz Pure Glass
EDIT:
I also ordered these:
SUPCASE All New HTC One M8 Case - Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case for HTC One 2014 (Frost Clear/Black) &
URBAN ARMOR GEAR Case for HTC One (M8), Slate
Once I get these i will post pics and impressions also.

I have the same case currently. Really love the fit and feel. Also the fact that the back is clear and not frosted was my main buying point. I really feel the m8 needs to be shown off, its by far the most attractive phone I've had or seen.

I have this case as well and the fit and finish is very very good. It is very form fitting and doesn't add much bulk. Also, the TPU is extremely clear compared to other 'clear' TPU cases I've seen. I'll be adding a decal to the back of my phone and it will be able to show through really nice with this case.

i just got this case yesterday and i love the fact that is doesn't add much bulk, definately shows off the aluminum finish, and looks great. my only issue with it is that it kind of bows on the upper and lower portion of the phone and doesn't sluggly the upper and lower sections of the phone. hopefully over time and with the heat from being it my pocket it will correct itself. other then that, love the case! definately worth the little money i actually paid for it. =)

Poetic Revolution Note 5 Case Review

NOTE: I received one of these free in exchange for doing a review.
Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Please note the photos I've uploaded. This is a VERY strong case which is made of two pieces, completely covering the phone. DO NOT have a screen protector on your phone when you use this case as the front of the case already has a screen protector built in. If you want the ultimate in protection for your phone, then this is it! The front first goes onto the phone and snaps on with a strong "click". I have read other reviews of this case where the reviewer left a screen protector on his phone and that causes not only for the S-Pen to not work as well but also caused problems in making the front case fit properly on the phone - the fantastic tight tolerances on this case are THAT GOOD! Talking about the screen protector, it is a very strong material which does not at all seem to be a 'finger print magnet'. Also you will note from the pictures I submitted that the tolerances of the cutouts in the screen protector for the pone speaker and home button are the exact right size and line up perfectly. Getting back to putting the case on the phone - once the front is on, then you put the back onto the phone, and the tolerances are so tight with the way the front and the back of the case fit together that you will certainly have some difficulty getting this case on and off of the phone. (You will note this is primarily because of the bottom of the phone case - see the photo with the back and front of the phone case separated but held next to each other.) However, since this case is meant to be #1 protective for this phone, to meet that end it is purposely built with the tight tolerances.
My guess is you can throw this case against a brick wall pretty hard and your phone will not break (however I did not have the guts to try that)!
Going through the remaining photos, you will note the case fits the phone extremely well. Not only is there enough coverage so that the front of the phone - as well as the back camera lens - will not touch anything if the phone is laid down on a flat surface, but the case on the front comes very close to the edge of the display, which is very well protected with the built-in screen protector. I have also read reviews of other thick protective cases where the case was so thick that sometimes a shadow would appear in photos taken by the phone because the camera lens is so deep inside of the case - but that is not the case here (no pun intended). My photos also show the holes for the charging port and S-Pen etc. The ports are covered by included 'plugs' which are part of the case and extremely well designed with ridges built in so that after extended use they should never fall open. The only downside I have found from these 'plugs' are that the S-Pen is actually not very easy to retrieve out of the phone because it is pretty deep and hard to reach. Also, if you have some kind of a plug for the power or the audio that do not fit, then you would not be able to make those holes larger without damaging the capability of the port covers. However, all the plugs and audio cables I have fit with no problem. There is also a loop on the case on one corner which I would prefer not to have, but it is strong rubber material so it could be carefully cut off with a sharp knife and nobody would ever know it was there. Better to have the option of having it or not!
The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is the kickstand on the back is metal, and because of that (I think that would be the only reason) the wireless charging will not work. I really wanted to give this 5 stars but in all honesty because of the wireless charging not working I couldn't do it. So please take this review as 4+ or 4.5 stars! In any event, if you want your previous phone to last forever - then this would be your case!

We have a thread for reviews on this case already, with that said, I have tried several different wireless chargers, have a couple that are super thin. I slid them between the kickstand and still no luck. That was my original thought process as well, that it was the kickstand. I guess it's just too thick, sucks in that aspect.

Looks good for hiking and outdoor activities
