So...I was gonna get a seidio innocase II however, I knew the platinum case at bb was identical and I was able to get it for 21.00
So when I got it I knew about how it fit, where it fit good but felt loose in the corners. I also saw the complaints about the felt not actually covering the whole back or sides.....so I did something about it.
I started looking for sticky felt, couldn't find any thin stuff. Then I thought of fabric which would work....however then I stumbled upon felt contact paper at Michaels....all they had was red. So I said screw it and bought it any way.
An hour later I came up with this....originally it coverd the top and bottom sides more but when i did that the case wouldn't close. so i had to trim it back some.
Now the case fits damn good....chances of dirt getting in there are a lot less, the sides and full back are protected and I think it looks pretty good for my non artsy ass. It was actually quite a pain in the ass with its original design, which wrapped the top and bottom areas, if I would have known that the case wouldnt have snapped shut doing those areas it would have saved me at least a half hour.
Of course there is the new active case now and i might check that out but looking at the reviews it looks a little big
Great idea... Think I'll be hitting Michael's today!!! The slightly loose fit is starting to drive me crazy... Everytime I pick-up my phone and the case wobbles I get images of scratches all over my baby!!!
to cut the holes I used an xacto knife.
Thanks, so what is the product called? I want to call around and see if they have any.
NICE! Good job! I should do this if Seidio doesn't RMA my case.

i was looking for a new case on ebay, and this one looks pretty good..although looking at the picture it doesnt seem like an exact fit..but it also looks likea photoshopped on picture..so does anyone have this case and want to confirm whether or not it fits?
I bought a few cases like this. Mines was from amazon though and yet its pretty much a hit and miss, especially with on ebay. The ones I bought felt like it was made from very cheap plastic / flimsy however once on the phone it felt more sturdy. the hit and miss part is the slight damages where you snap on.
Basic protection from scratch and scoffs but these cases tend to slip easily. surprising once my mom's ipod touch fell and she had this type of case and the case just fell apart however it was still fine and we snapped it back on just fine.
Only issues I see is the front facing camera being half covered and the case also cuts off the home and search buttons(not that I ever use the search function)
Look at picture carefully at the corners, my eyes are not too well but I dont see it fitting nicely, may be something else tho.
might just be the picture taken by the seller.
I've bought a couple of these kind of cases on ebay & none of them have fit. There was some kind of issue with the dummy phone issued to the case manufacturers, it was defective or something & none of the cases were made right. I'd be wary of ordering any snap-on cases that I couldn't try on first.
These snap-on cases are awful.
There is nearly only 3 types of cases out at the market.
First the hard plastic cases that are coming in 2 parts. There are the glossy ones and the trubberized ones in a wide variety of colors and styles at ebay or Amazon. The quality is OK but not perfect. What I like is the good protection in combination with the acceptable increase of size. The problem is that you nearly can't remove the front part of the case without breaking the very small bars fixing the case to the device. I like the rubberized ones most. They are looking more stable to me than the glossy ones. With the case it's more difficult to slide out the QWERTY keyboard. But it's acceptable. What I like very much is the protection of the on/off button and then loudness buttons. Because without the case I öfter press these keys withooany will.
Then there are the leather cases. There are horizontal and vertical ones. I tried to use the ones for the Samsung Galaxy S2 also, they fit. But of course not together with the hard plastic case together. For that I will try cases made for the HTC Sensation XL. I will share my experiences as soon as I get the cases.
The third category are cases that are blocking the hardware keyboard. That unacceptable for me. I tried rubber cases for the Samsung Galaxy S2 and it worked for one but the fitting is not not really good. The thickness of the device is quite different from most other smartphones.
Hope I could help a little bit and will share my upcoming experiences.
Thanks for checking out the cases, did they the leather/rubber ones block the camera at the back or did it have the correct position for the opening?
The leather ones I tried are for pulling out the device before use.
The rubber one I tried had a big camera hole on the back. But I forgot to check the other connector holes but if I remember correctly some cutting work has to be done. But this is possible with the right tools. Sharp knives and hole cutters for leather/paper.
Best thing is to try the case at a shop. Surely some fits better than others. But I think the Galaxy S2 category is the best you can get. The Galaxy Note ones could be also work, because it's taller but thinner.
The first category cases are made for the device and aren't blocking anything.
I wonder if anyone has tried the one-piece Speck cases yet (can't post links yet, but a Google search for "speck captivate glide" should bring up the page on Speck's site). They look good, but I'm curious if they restrict the sliding mechanism or block the keyboard at all.

Just wanted to share my review, got a hard rubberized case on Amazon from ezbuy123. It's a 2-piece, snap-on. In the past, I've used Otterbox on EVERYTHING, but since they dont have an i927 case out yet, I figured I'd take a chance. The build quality is probably a 3.5/5 - it's hard, it's plastic, it's rubberized, that all is true. The edges of the case around the keyboard area are already starting to get chewed up, and the rubberizing doesnt have any real texture to speak of, I feel like I'm going to drop it when I use it. On the plus side, it isnt a weird neon color, and it doesnt add much bulk or weight to the phone.... All in all, I'd be pressed to give it 4/5 overall, it will definitely be replaced with an Otterbox if they ever decide to make a case for the i927.
Speck Sureslider Case
So I just received the Sureslider case today. I bought it for 24 dollars (from versiomobile before they charged 35 ).
Here's my review on it:
It's a one piece piece that has a hard plastic back with polycarbonate. On the front, it's made up of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). The TPE gives the case a lip from the screen of the phone. It still slides when you put it on its face but not by much. Only the top part actually clips onto the phone. The back plate just kinda sticks to the phone.. somewhat. There's basically no restriction when you're sliding it, it feels like it's not even there. Regarding the top keys of the qwerty keyboard, it might've moved a nanometer, but not to significant to affect your typing.
Honestly, I don't think the price of $35 is worth it. I'd say it'd be more fair around 13 dollars. It also comes with a one-year warranty, so maybe that's where the high price came from?
The Sureslider case is technically a "one-piece" but when I got it, somehow the connection between the bottom and top part became loose and the top part came out. Needless to say, i thought it was going to be an easy fix. It wasn't . You can't just "slide" it into one piece since there's a hook and a little clip at the bottom to provide stability. After I managed to get the piece together, I went through the packaging, and there was this small instruction slip. It said "If the case becomes separated by mistake, align the two pieces and fit back together."
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I got the rubberized texture case from ebay (shop4phree*). 5 bucks included shipping. Just to get something on the phone quick before I scractched it. I have to say for being so cheap it has help up surprisingly well. I was going to go for a higher end case at a later time but it's now going on 2 months and I haven't felt the need to switch. The only drawbacks I can see is it interferes with the smoothness of the slide out keyboard (requires a little more finger power to push it up) and the extra bulk it adds makes your top row of keys a little tight when typing(especially with big fingers).Ive dropped my phone a couple of times and it has held intact.
Im a cheap bastard so my $5 case works great for me.
Amzer cases
Well i managed to snap the feelers on my first case (the black rubberized one), so I've moved on to an Amzer case from Amazon. It's a 2-piece, snap-together advertised as "one piece". The build quality is probably a 3/5 - it's hard, it's plastic, it's rubberized on the back half, but the front half is clear hard-poly that looks awful (definitely not at all like what the pic on Amazon makes it look). It doesnt add much bulk or weight to the phone, but it is slightly bulkier than the previous case I reviewed. Hopefully Otterbox will come up with a case for the i927 soon, I'm quickly tiring of these cases...

Haven't tried any of them but their stuff is good.
Body Glove Captivate Glide
I just received the Body Glove two-piece case for the Glide. It's $30 from AT&T, but I got it from All4Cellular for less (it's also on Amazon for even cheaper, which is a bit annoying as it was out of stock when I last looked there). It's pricey, but highly reviewed on AT&T's site.
It looks high-quality (none of that gummy rubber sort of stuff) and fits snugly. A bit too snugly, actually, as it was fairly difficult to get on and (according to other owners) nigh impossible to get off. On the plus side, that means it's not going to just pop off in your pocket.
The case fully covers the back of the phone (except for holes for the camera, flash, microphone, speaker, and buttons), and on the front, it covers the bezel. It doesn't interfere with the sliding at all, though the front cover does stick out enough to potentially cause problems with the top row of physical keyboard keys. That said, the keyboard side of the front cover has a little cutout at the bottom that may alleviate that problem a bit. I haven't noticed any major difficulties typing so far.
As with any two-piece case, there's a gap between the pieces where the phone slides, so it's not going to protect from anything getting between the phone halves. Also, it only comes in one color--a metallic blue sort of look--so if that's not your thing, you're out of luck.
I'd give it four out of five stars, knocking off a star for the difficulty in getting it off, though I'd recommend it for the build quality.
Does anyone know of a otterbox case from another phone that would fit this one for protection? (commuter or defender)
And what about silicone cases? Soft ones I mean..
There's a Case Mate Barely There case now available for the Glide, you can find it on Amazon. Did anyone try it?
Mom is with ATT so she picked the Captivate Glide cuz I have Epic. LoL Basically, she also want a slide-out keyboard.
I ordered this for her on eBay.

One problem, the sellers posted different quality. Some say hard plastic and some say rubberized. I went with a seller that said rubberized with good reviews. $7 with free shipping. I'm waiting on that to arrive and see how it feels
Just a question, since I'm not a native english speaker:
what does 'rubberized' mean? Does the term refer to a hard case with soft grip or to a flexible silicone-like case that you can even bend and it keeps the shape?
Thanks

I got the same one from AT&T.
I agree with your comments. This case is much better quality than the no-name clear ones I've seen elsewhere. It is a pain to install / remove, but I like it tight, lol. I've had cases for other phones where it comes off easy, and they become a pain in the @ss.
They are the most expensive I've seen, but worth the price if it saves your phone from just one concrete ground fall.

Hi
I just thought i would share my experience after a month with the official DDF case, a case that is lacking in both design and durability. I got the case free of charge when i took out my contract with Vodafone and put it straight on the phone as soon as soon as it left the box and that's where the 1st issue came up, the case didn't actually close! Laying it on a flat surface just resulted in the the front of it springing open as there is nothing to keep it closed however after a few days it was worn in a bit and sorted itself out. Also for £25 the quality isn't that great.
After a week i took the phone out the case and to my horror it was badly scratched on the back due to tiny bits of grit getting caught in there and this is purely down to the design as there are 2 slits on the back which allows it to go into a stand but they let small pocket stuff in and if they are solid in any way they will get pressed between the case and the phone resulting in scratched aluminium. Luckily i got a replacement phone due to another issue.
I have had it on my new black One for a couple of weeks now whilst i get round to getting a new one however i have been cleaning it out daily to ensure it doesn't happen again however the case has just started falling apart. The rubber trim around the case has all peeled off and the matte finish is peeling off too, leaving a shiny plastic underneath and the red suede interior is now a dull black on some parts.
This is the worst case i have ever had for a phone and this is only with 4/5 weeks worht of use. I would strongly suggest people spend there money on a different case.

They look good, hadn't seen them before and reasonably priced too. However, I've already gone for the Otterbox Commuter which is cheaper than this POS HTC case
I have pretty much the same problem. I love the case, I love the look of it, but it's coming undone around the edges...
Same situation here with mine.
Red felt is going black, the rubber edge has all come off and stuff keeps getting caught on the back. luckily it hasnt scratched my baby but it is annoying.
Any suggestions for a replacement case that does the same as this? I love how it folds into a stand
I have had this problem with almost every case I have ever had. That is why i put a full bad shield invisible shield on my phone and then put them in the case.
I also received the case free with my contract phone so i decided to use it until i bought a case that i liked. I used it for 4-5 weeks and the case still looks quite new. Obviously the red felt has faded a bit but that was expected. The only real problem i saw was that the Microphone hole didnt line up properly with the phone's Mic hole which is a bit stupid.

I bought this before reading reviews.
I agree that durability is poor,and have had peeling. Luckily not had scratches.
With regard to last point about Mic hole there's an updated version that fixes this.
I got updated replacement sent free, without requesting, from HTC accessories UK.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Had this case since 2 weeks ago, first problem was that the hole at the bottom was not aligned to the microphone hole properly (which greatly affected call quality) so I had to manually align it. The back leaves two light grey streaks on the back of my black HO from where the slits are, but with a good wiping they disappear. The red felt is starting to fade as well. Planning to replace it when the fixed version of the Poetic Atmosphere comes back in stock at the end of the month.
Thanks for heads jo mate. Will not buy

The other case HTC makes for the ONE
is an excellent case. It's a plastic shell case with two speaker covers which lock the phone in from the bottom and the top. Great fit, great feel, great case. 1 outta to ain't bad I guess.

Is HTC.com the only place to buy this case? I want to grab one today but fear ordering direct and waiting a few weeks (it's backordered) is the only way to get one.
Do any of the carriers or Best Buy carry this exact one?
Edit: Sprint had them. It's a nice case!
Yep

ericshmerick linked the right one. Also, the other case HTC makes for the ONE should tell you everything you need to know since HTC only makes TWO cases for this phone, thus if you've used the power of deductive reasoning it would've taken you to http://www.htc.com/www/accessories/htc-double-dip/ which is a great case. Looks much better on the phone itself too.
You're welcome.
Eric, thanks for the link. AeroSatan, my powers of deductive reasoning tell me you're an ass. How'd I do?
You're welcome.

Simple and keeps the look of the phone too and the colour.
My DDF has scratched the top of my aluminium due to debris from either my pocket or something else getting in, marks aren't very big but they're ugly and I can see them.
Really p*ssed me off, and seeing as the DDF should cost £30 in a phone shop i think it's a joke.
As for the other DD case, man it is ugleeeeeey, it looks like a sad one eyed cartoon. Feels cheap and nasty.
FYI I have both the DD cases.
Hey guys,
I've been using the G4 recently while travelling in Italy since June 6th, and the corners of the phone on the leather back are getting worn out already. I'm just trying to figure out if this is a mistake from my wrongdoing (mostly just pulling the phone out to take a pictures and back into a jeans pocket), or if it's something more like a manufacturing flaw. I've not been using the phone while my hands are wet or that sort of thing as far as I know but I've been caught in the rain maybe about twice while in Italy.
Check out the attached pictures for examples.
It's a manufacturing flaw. I have the same problem here and I don't know what else to do.

grab a quarter and play scratch off.... looks like theres a standard space gray cover less than a millimeter below that leather
...you seriously expected high-end leather on a cell phone? You know how much it would cost and how thick/bulky it would be if it had high-end leather on it?
The "leather" back is a marketing gimmick, nothing more. It's a 0.5mm-thin "skin" over the standard plastic back and will wear out very quickly. It's crap.
I have a black leather version and I had it for over two weeks now and its not any worna t all on the edges. It's a bit more shiny on the edges now but that's it. I've heard people saying that the brown one is a bit more soft than the black one so that might be it. I've been using the phone like normal and I haven't thought about being careful or so putting it in my pockets. Maybe buy a black one? I'm gonna get a yellow or the grey one when I can andi hope its the same kind of "hardness" as the black one.
I thread already exist for this issue here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-leather-peeling-t3133239
But yeah the leather backs are cheap.. I exchange mine for other issues but notice my corners was also getting worn out.. Even after exchanging my phone I still chose the leather back because they just look better then the plastic back.
