Cases

I've searched but I couldn't seem to find a thread, I'm wondering what cases do all you guys have? I just got the hero and I want to protect it, especially the screen. So who has what and who likes what?

Here is some good reviews of the most popular cases.
http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/49725-bodyglove-vs-otterbox-vs-seido-innocase.html

I use the bodyglove case. I like the way it looks and feels, but do have 2 complaints:
1. When typing in portrait mode, it is hard for my to hit the keys at the edges of the screen (so i normally type in landscape mode, lol!)
2. If you DO happen to drop your phone, sometimes this case pops open. That being said, I've not had my phone damaged when this has happened, but you still should be aware.
I plan on trying the otterbox myself, just to see if it is better, but for the most part I am completely happy with the bodyglove.

I have thew rubber case they sell in the sprint store. i cut the edge's of on the screen part due to not being able to hit the edge of the screen like tejasrichard mentioned with his case

anybody try one of those TPU (thermo plastic) cases they are like silicone ones but i guess way more sturdy and repel dust im interested only one place has em for our heros so im assuming they are pretty new to the market

A little pricey for a case but I love it. Great fit and function. Fits perfectly, no complaints.

A buddy of mine has one for his blackberry. I dont think he liked it.

I have the body glove case, and absolutely love it. i switched from the HTC silicon rubber case to it, and have not looked back. love the integrated belt clip. gives full body protection to the Hero, except it does not protect the screen from scratches... but you should have no worries there since it is glass. hth

Has anyone compared the otterbox impact and commuter series? Is the commuter series suppose to be more rugged? I can get the commuter series from newegg for the same price as the impact normally is. Reading their descriptions on the otterbox website aren't very helpful in differentiating the series. The commuter is a hard shell where the impact is a soft one right?

Seidio Innocase II combo. Absolutely love it. Adds almost no bulk to the phone at all.

It comes in other colors too.

Otterbox
It's a little bulky, yeah, but it has a good feel to it. Also, Hero took a trip into the hot tub again (survived once with no case) with the Otterbox on and there was almost no water inside the battery area when I pulled it out. Phone still works!

i dont know if to get the outterbox one or the Seidio Innocase II combo
i have the body glove already but its too fat

I'm using a swiveling mount from Proclip.
The pricing is absurd, $45 just for the swivel part, you need to have a base mount to attach it to. I already had a custom base in my Honda S2000 I bought for my Garmin ($15) with the standard mounting holes. The Garmin is going to Ebay with these great new 2.1 ROMs and built in NAV.
The Proclip is well built, very functional and sturdy as hell. It works great vertically and horizontally. It DOES NOT work with a case on your Hero. I am using a no-name hard plastic clear case ($5 from the interwebs) that I snap on and off each time I get in my car.
The whole setup works so well that I am using Home++ so that I can utilize horizontal home screens while driving... Can't wait for Darch's stock build and I will switch to this.
Droid Live is my new car radio, tethered to a Sony deck with A2DP bluetooth.

Waterproof and Fully Functional Case!!!
I will be getting a new case in a couple of weeks that has yet to hit the market. It is 100% waterproof and very functional for those of you that are boaters, beach goers and pool sitters. See pic below. I will have them on eBay for $39.95 but for all of you here on XDA, it will be $30.00 + $3.00 shipping. I can invoice you via paypal or we can do the cashier check and mail thing. My eBay user name is "goulpher36" if you would like to check my feedback. You can reserve one if you send me an email and mention "XDA".

Opppsie! I read the rules after my post. Sorry...

nice case, but I always over-look the Otterbox defender because they add too much bulk to your phone, and it's like you just carry a rock in your pocket, and I also don't like the folding case, because seriously I've to fold and hold the phone while talking, NOT ME.
but hey everyone has their own choice, ENJOY IT.

This one is slowly becoming my favorite. It's slim, it has a kickstand, the kickstand is designed in a way it provides a great way to hold the phone (like a flygrip), it fits perfectly in my Seidio holster, it has a bit of a lip by the screen for worry-free face down placement, it has a great texture for grip and it doesn't show fingerprints.
I usually buy my cases with a big discount in order to resell them after I "test" them. In this case though I paid regular price at the Verizon store ($20) and I'm probably keeping it as my daily case.

It's fairly slim though I wouldn't call it a "slim" case. It slides in the pocket easily but I mainly use it with it's holster.
I bought it because I love the color but this is probably one I'll be reselling because it shows fingerprints easily, the two piece vertical design has issues with locking into place (some find it too hard to remove while others, including me, have an issue with how easily it opens up), and the lip is a little too large.

Im using the case mate pop right now. Loving it so far

otterbox like case or any hard cover w belt clip

hey guys so i am loooking for a otterbox like case for example i want a hardcare that can with stand hard fall as i drive from a forklift and work allows me to have headphones in only one so i can hear people yell at me when i run **** over lol, but seriouly i am looking for something like the otterbox with a belt or clip holster (easy access) and access to headphone jack as well whitch the otterbox failed miserably at, i found a few hower they didn't make it for the note only the s3 seems like this phone is lacking cases in this design as well so any and all help would be greatly appreciated as i ran into a dead end.

what's the problem with the otterbox?
the headphone jack is perfectly accessible for me.

Look into Seidio CONVERT Combo, check out main review link in my signature. You get SURFACE for light use and CONVERT shell on top of it for extra protection and one of the best belt clips with lockable latch. Plus, you will get a kick stand, a soft plug/cover for headphone, micro-usb, and camera port (no strain on your cables like Otter), and when you pair up with VITREO tempered glass screen protector - it's ultimate!!! And like a said, at work use the full CONVERT suit. When you get home, strip out CONVERT layer and you got a slim SURFACE protection layer. Based on your requirement, it's the most flexible solution.

Lol yup the only bad review I am seeing is that the actual clip is a bad design it doesn't clip properly or is too hard to get out that us my most used feature of a case some even reported that the clip went out in a few months so I am very skeptical before buying may go to the mall first to try this out cause in am Def not paying 75 dollars retail for this case

Keep in mind, clip is removable and replaceable. Plus I remember Seidio mentioned about bike mount and car mount prototypes that clip right on to a holster when clip is removed.

I will use no other belt clip other than seidio. I've been sold on them for my last 3 phones. My job can be a bit rough on belt clips and theirs has always held up.

both "denfender" and "survivor" were from case-parts/tvc-mall The last time I checked, "survivor" was still listed in there, while "denfender" (intentional spelling) was removed from Note 2. Hit them with email, they might still have it Otherwise, you might have to search through alibaba.com sellers, although those don't take paypal and to search in there you need to get creative with spelling (like otterering or ottered) lol!!!

Oh, no, that clip is a junk. Don't even bother. The case is bulky and will help your N2 survive a nuclear attack, but belt clip is a joke. Survivor case was designed by Griffin for S3 and this N2 version was unofficially scaled up by HK manufacturers for a bigger N2 design. If belt clip is your priority, this case is not for you.

How about looking into an alternative of belt clip pouches? One of my other review threads is up now at the top of the forum with a discussion. That vertical pouch is actually not bad since it's easy to get phone in'n'out with a velcro flap, you can keep it on a belt clip to take it out, or belt loop to keep it permanently, and its vertical and secure. Works with any slim to bulk cases. The ultimate solution would be to have zerolemon rugged case that will support belt clip as well - would be the best of every world to have endurance and protection to the Nth degree. But the only info they released so far is that rugged case will accommodate original slim, double width, or triple-capacity ZL battery, while we are not sure if it will have kickstand or holster yet. A couple more weeks of waiting.

what would be perfect is a leather pouch or whatever with a built in wallet that would be the best case ever been looking but no luck yet...hoping to find something

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 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,

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.

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.

ProCase Galaxy Tab S6 10.5 Case

So I picked up the S6 at BB today and I needed a case quickly, so I ordered this ProCase on Amazon and it will be here tomorrow morning. For $10 its better then being naked until some decent reviews of good cases come out. I'll update this when it arrives.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WV4JT2J/

It doesn't look too bad. One thing it is missing is a cover for the sPen, but so far I've only seen that on the Samsung cases.

Yeah, wth man? Does Samsung have an exclusive/patent for pen covers, or what?
I'm buying a cover today, don't for sure which one, but it'll have some sort of pen holder.

Let us know how you get on, I opted for the official case purely because of the pen cover so it'll be interesting to see if it stays in place

I have been looking through eBay and Amazon on a daily basis to see if there are any new cases being listed. Today I found one on Amazon with a case that has flexible material covering half of the S-Pen. It costs $10.99 with 8% discount. Here is the link below.

Definitely the best option I've seen so far. Wondering if 'edge swiping' will be an issue. Still, ordering now.
Thanks! I've been doing a lot of searching too.

Great minds think alike lolol. Got my s6 at bb a few days ago and bought the same case from Amazon because this puppy needs a case and there are no leather ones just yet.
Good news the case you and I bought works very well with the s6 with solid corner protecting and the slim form factor works for me. With the case the s_pen sits where it needs to without it falling out so far. For the price quite pleased.
All the best

So as an update ,its been almost 2 weeks since I got my ProCase and I have no complaints with it (other then it doesn't hold the SPen any more securely then having no case. It folders nicely in 2 different different positions for watching movies. It seems to put the tablet screen to sleep when I cover it and covers the edges of the tablet nicely without adding to much bulk.
The only thing I noticed and may be a tablet issue not the cover, but sometimes I'm getting notification even if I'm not using the tablet (and the cover is covering the screen). ie someone sends a Facebook message and the tablet vibrates to let me know it got one.

What do you think about this?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T2MP8R2/?th=1

$10 Case
I also purchased this case to use until my Keyboard Case arrived. It is a perfectly serviceable case. It fits the tablet well and protects it.
For $10, you really can't ask for anything more. I'm satisfied with it.

I actually picked this one up which provides some protection for the S-Pen
https://www.amazon.com/Infiland-Multiple-Samsung-SM-T860-Charging/dp/B07X1J2Y5Q/ref=pd_sbs_147_4/130-0278015-9288254?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07WYXW4LV&pd_rd_r=4a5416f3-6149-4f6f-9dd6-faa59352bf3f&pd_rd_w=94FZj&pd_rd_wg=M0FSR&pf_rd_p=d66372fe-68a6-48a3-90ec-41d7f64212be&pf_rd_r=YBPBQMCGC28AMJH5KDVZ&refRID=YBPBQMCGC28AMJH5KDVZ&th=1
It's not bad, a little thin, but I guess that can be good or bad depending if you want something lightweight or improved protection. They do offer a thicker model for a little more money.

Bought it at Amazon for $10.99
PROS
S-pen fits tighly in pouch
Sturdy construction
Sleep on close
Snug fit (see cons)
Cut-outs on right and left for edge-swiping
CONS
Not lightweight—is significantly heavier than previous covers I've used
Maybe too snug of a fit—had to stretch out the PU 'leather' for tab to be fully inserted

Thank you for your review of the product!
I did see another case last week that was very similarly designed to the Samsung book cover where it actually had a magnetic cover for the s pen. It sold out pretty quickly but kept it in my wish list on Amazon in case they stock it back up. I believe it sold for around $18. I leave a link below in case anyone is interested.

If I didn't already have one I'd buy it, when possible. I like it's S-pen cover design. I use my tablet 'upside down' (charging cable on top, and better grip in left hand—I'm right-handed).
Only possible 'problem' is weight. This one is listed as 11.2 oz vs the Dadanism listed at 7.7 oz. I added it to my list, though.
Thanks

Bought it.
Only con is a big one—as I feared before I bought it the magnet that holds the tablet on to the case interferes with the screen's ability to sense the S-pen.

Which case did you buy? the Dadanism one? I can see why that would have massive issues, but the the Ztotop case I got today has no problems and I love it

I have both. First Dadaism (no attachment magnets), then saw post about Ztotop and it looked perfect, until I tried writing/drawing with S-pen and experienced the 'dead-zone' problem as shown in screenshot.
Since you are not having problem I wonder if they made changes to placement or strength of magnets???
Before I try to exchange mine, I just want to confirm that you don't have dead spots using S-pen.
Please let me know, Thanks!
