Hey guys im looking for a backcover with the following features:
should have a better protection than the flumsy cheap china cases (quality of a rugged armor spigen case)
It should have a transparent pocket on the back to hold 2 cards (1 Visa+1 visa-sizes train ticket)
The card holder needs to be transparent so i can show the back of my phone to (for example the busdriver) without pulling it out
No flipcases please, i hate them
Does anyone owns a product he could recommend? Buying the for example spigen crystal shell wouldnt work, because i wouldnt be able to put 2 cards underneath the cover and if i want to use my visa it wouldnt be possible.
Kind regards!

So what is the best "WW3 Ready" case for the HD2 ?
I know for the Iphone we have Otterbox etc, what are the top 3 for the HTC HD2 ?
It needs to protect it from a fall on concrete and look cool.
Thanks !
try this!

In my opinion the best compromise between cool look and good protection is Otterbox.
Commuter Case
Defender Case

This morning I have just received my Defender case from Otterbox (a little hacked off with them because I only ordered my Commuter from them three weeks ago because they told me there were no plans to release a Defender - hey ho!) and man is it rugged! Check it out on their website. It is basically a high impact plastic two part inner with built in screen and lens protection (no need for stickons, although I have left my adhesive protector on and the capacitative screen still works perfectly through two layers of protection), plus a full wrapround silicone outer. But forget the crappy feel of cheap skins, this is seriously high quality and wonderfully tactile. And boy does it protect! I decided to throw my HD2 across the office this morning just to test the new case and it just bounced! It comes with a belt clip which the whole phone clips into, so if you don't want to use it you don't have a bulky clip permanently attached to your case. The hardware buttons work perfectly (the outer skin has button pushes moulded in) - they feel more positive than the ones on my commuter case too. There is an easy access flap over the usb and headphone ports so no dust ingress. It does add a lot of bulk to the phone but it looks and feels great. I'm going to hang on to my commuter for when I need my phone to slide neatly into my pocket, but I suspect it will be wearing the Defender most of the time now. It is not cheap but well worth the price to protect a £400+ phone. If you are into active pursuits (or just accident prone) buy this case!

Man, that is some rugged case. Thanks for the review. I can't believe you threw your phone to test it!

My only query with these 'rugged' cases is that I see it more likely for my phone to be dropped in water or get splashed on out in the rain of here Merry Old England or the downpours of India then get run over by a 3 ton forklift (yeah, this is the sort of testing they do!)
So my question would be are the otterboxes water-resistant (not waterproof i.e. can it withstant around 1 minute immersion in water?

For some reason I cannot find the Defender Otterbox anywhere with WW shipping ! It's not even showing up on the otterbox site.
Any ideas ?
btw- The " US " Version means T-Mobile's ?
BTW2- Is T-Mobile's version the only one with 570mb of RAM ?

Takes about 15 seconds to remove the case and 45-50 seconds to put it on as the outer silicone skin needs to be fitted around various tabs and into channels to ensure the case is splashproof.

It's on the Otterbox site and the shipping options come up at checkout - $7.95 standard global or $16.45 priority with taxes and duty (mine took 3 days with latter). Look here for the case - http://www.otterbox.com/htc-cases/h...al/htc-hd2-defender-series-case-international

Priority shipping to UK including taxes and duties was $16 and it arrived in under three days. Standard global is $7.95 I think.

What is the difference between the cummuter and the defender ? Is the commuter much less protective ?
Also, does the "International Otterbox HD2 Defender" fit the T-Mobile HD2 ?
Defender
commuter is just like rubber skin,, defender has the inner case to protect hd2.. No, the international is only for Telstra & t8585, not us tmobile
Thanks !
So what is the second best protection case available for the T-Mobile after the Defender ? (Seeing that Otterbox dont make Defenders for T-Mob)

Wrong. Is it so hard to go to the website and actually read what the features are?

FeatureS

(compatible with models T9193 and T8585
only, not including US model)
layer 1: Self-adhering clear protective film
(cleaning cloth and installation card included)
layer 2: Durable silicone mid-layer
layer 3: One piece custom molded polycarbonate shell
Access to all side button features
Silicone plugs allow access to all ports
Open access to camera

Attached Pics:
Attached Pics:
a. the flat bottom screen protector.
b. the view of the camera from the back. As can be seen it is very open and does not affect exposure.
c. the packaging (plastic)
Review:
Price: £1.89 + £ree p&p
(not the cheapest case i've ever bought: £0.10 for Crystal N95 Case + Screen Protector, but hey what can you do )
The case took about 10 days to be delivered.
The packaging was alright not a cardboard box but the contents were not affected in anyway and for free delivery what can you expect
I was happy that they sent 2 screen protectors, as can be seen in the pics they are not the same. One of which protects some protection to the bottom of the phone beside the keys. One of which does not. I have not yet attached the screen protectors as I do not see as being currently necessary and I'm rubbish at applying screen protectors ( Get bubbles everywhere )
The case itself has a nice orange stitching and a soft velvety interior finish. The velvet itself can be seen to be a dust magnet. I have tested out the compass and the magnetic clasp does not affect it.
Update 24/06/10:
As highlighted by JonPickles below the plastic case securing the phone to the case is tight. I am slightly worried whether repeated removal and installation of the phone will cause damage to the paint of the casing. Also if the phone is not taken out properly the tight fitting can cause the battery cover to come of. As of now I have not found a good way to remove the phone. I am wondering it repeated removal will losen the fitting making it easier to remove. If anyone else has this case or any other tight fitting cases please share any tips on how best to remove it.

i bought one too and didnt like how the phone was squeezed into the plastic holder and my battery cover came off when i took it out of holder plus didnt like the securing tab in my ear when makin/answerin a call so bought another that was completely leather and the tab was not in the way for £3.50 from hong kong which came in ten days also
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190399620812&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I didn't like the leather insert into which the phone goes. But everyone has their own tastes.
Great case for that price, it's really cheap and do the job perfectly, thanks for this share
Just got it
It barely fits the phone with INVISIBLE FULL BODY ZAGG SHILED ! My zagg shield got ripped of my phone and destroyed zagg shield. + it did not fit. My batteri cover came of and its really hard to take the phone out , dont like it at all
Thanks for the info m4sta2k, I'll stay clear of this one then.
The same story

The same story - slightly different characters:
Beware of snap-on hard cases! I mean you have to be very careful and do not go for the cheapest ones. My sad experience with one of them, very similar to this one brought me to this rather obvious conclusion. What happened is that in 3 weeks gray paint/covering of my HD2 was damaged wherever it touched the sturdily snapping hard case - on the corners battery cover (where the gray plastic body of HD2 slightly is raised comparing to lower battery cover) - I will post photos of it.
Then I ordered a leather pull-case, and i am happy with it. Here is my positive review for it
Can anyone recommend a good slim flip case? I saw this two in ebay. But i dont know which one to choose.
1. Nillkin flip case
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Fli...782767?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c688f4caf
2. Rock HQ PU
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Brand-R...952748?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19d59bfeec
The original samsung snap on flip case is good too but i would like to have protection on both front, back, and sides...
Thanks Nxxx http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910824 i saw rock hq in your thread.

I'm in the same boat. I think I prefer the Nillkin Flip myself as I like the credit card slot on the inside of the cover. Plus, my thinking is that having that extra card slot will have to ensure that when it's closed it doesn't sit right on top of the home button causing it to depress while in your pocket.
Of course, you can always go with the genuine Samsung flip case. I believe it's still available directly from Samsung for about $20 plus s/h with the 50% coupon being offered.
Hello all
I am trying to find my perfect case here. I usually have a vertical flip case for my phones, but with my Note 2, I plan on using the Otterbox Commuter (or Defender) case. I will also have a Spigen Ultra Oleophobic screen protector on my device.
Even though I will have a screen protector on, and a rugged case, I still want to have a flip cover. The phone will be in my pocket, but hey, a screen protector can only do so much.
What I am looking for, is an Otterbox type case (in terms of ruggedness), with a flip cover (preferably vertical, but horizontal is fine).
So far I have come up with nothing. If I order a Noreve case, it will protect my device, but I don't know how much abuse the device will be able to take. I am used to devices with recessed screens, but when I went to the HD2, that was a whole new ball game.
I modified a no-name silicon bumper to work with my official samsung flip-cover. I also had a no-name hard plastic screen protector. I ditched the silcon bumper for daily use as it made it stick to the lining of pockets. The no-name cheap hard plastic screen protector is however still on.
It cost me about 2 dollars, was simple to apply (it almost falls into place without bubbles, lint) and is almost invisible -when the screen is on. It is visibly marked to some extent when the screen is black so i intend to splash out another 2 dollars in a couple of weeks. I could buy a 10 pack i suppose and change every other month if i needed to at that price
Hi,
It may sound weird because I will be talking about a case which never existed.
I personally use case not for the heavy protection, but minimal protection from everyday shock and scratches.
Additional features like wallet is also welcomed.
After trying a few different cases, (2 Verus leather case, clear case), I was not satisfied by those kinds.
(1) I really like the wallet case. Two ~ three card slots will make me free from my wallet.
(2) I hate back cover. It interferes wireless charging.
So far, all cases are based-on the back cover. (bumper case is an exception)
But I really wanna have a case with no back, or at least not leather and very thin back,
with front flip with wallet to store 3~4 cards, kick stand function with the front cover.
If you happen to be a case maker.. please file a patent and make a production. I'm gonna buy it !!
or if you know any case that's close to my description, please let me know.
Or if you can mod the existing cases.... please let me know.
I was also thinking about attaching a front flip to my clear plastic case.
Look at the official Samsung flip cases. They have only 1 slot for cards though
