Best gel case/cover

I know of amzer and a few others but just looking for everyones general preference to see If I have missed any.
And for the record I don't like the argyle look. Takes away from the looks of mah future phone.

I ordered the Innocase from Seidio. I had one for my Mogul that I really liked: http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4213.htm
It's harder than gel but has a soft finish that keeps it from slipping in your hand.

Ah , I see the seidio acces finally came online. Nice!
Too bad I'm not a real fan of their cases. : (
Although I do like the innocase's . Very nice but I hate not being able to try first. It says it doesn't add much in thickness but .....what a frickin pain this is.
Argh!

Its looks like these are kinda like the gel ones just made of plastic right? Pretty thin..I noticed you can get a clip for it also. Do you know without the clip there is nothing on the back of this case that adds bulk because of the missing belt clip is there?
thanks

Site says that it's 1mm think so that would be about as thin as you could hope for and still get some protection. The belt clip is actually a separate holster that the phone clips into. They have a set where you get the phone protector/case and the belt holster together. The holster is built to accommodate the slightly larger size when the EVO is in the case.

I´ve bought a frosted gel Hard Cover for my EVO 3D from HTC Addicted on Facebook .
It looks and feels great and is really resistant.
I got a discount because i like the Facebook page =)

I bought the cheaper of the two otterboxes. I have the more expensive, defender I believe its called, but it just made my phone too thick and it was hard to get out of my jeans. So I bought the one beneath it... can't remember name lol but I really really like it. Its half gel and half plastic providing enough protection while making it easy to remove from pocket. . I think its like 20$ on amazon

otterbox

I highly recommend the trident kraken. It's thick and it may be hard to take out of your pockets if you're wearing jeans, but the protection is unmatched.

hai all,,
im in indonesia and its really hard to find softjacket or silicone for my evo,,can u advice to me where i can buy that stuff?
of course with the best price and free shipping if there from other country
thanx

I had a body glove case that was pretty nice, it was grippy enough to stay in my pocket when wanted and slick enough to come out when I grabbed it. It also had a nice warranty, like a year or so, and I used that a lot. The thing broke every month or so, but kept my EVO in tip top condition. Now I don't use a case though, I am close to my upgrade and trust the phone to hold up.

No case or screen protector here.. over 2 years and no issues..
just saying..

I believe youre talking about the commuter series I've had two of those and a body glove case the otterbox's broke within a week of having them the body glove even less. The defender series is great though definitely get that. I wouldn't normally use a screen protector but otterbox's is on a different level from cheaper ones it improves the touchability if thats a thing.

[Q] Silicone case with a holster

I am looking for a horizontal holster that will work with my silicone case on the Captivate. I sent a note to Amzer and they replied that they don't have a compatible case. I am still using my Palm Treo holster that I have used for my Tilt and Tilt2. It fits sort of, but it can be a struggle to get it out.
Does anyone know of a holster that will hold a Captivate that has a silicone case?

Well I am looking for the same thing. I purchased the Body Glove snap on case with Holster, which is nice, but it sticks out from your side so far that I actually hit a door jam with it. Also I don't like the fact that it has my screen facing out, so I went back and put my body glove mirage case on.
I am about to head to the verizon store and look at holsters they have for the droid x. My step mother has the droid x and she got a case/holster set with it, the holster fits my phone fantastic, but its just a plastic holster. Problem of course is you would have to purchase the combo set, which means the case is useless for our phones.
Like I said, I am going to look now at the Verizon store and see what they have.

[Q] Do I get Ballistic HC or the Otterbox Defender?

I'm having a hard time deciding which case to get. I used to have a Seidio Innocase, but the rubber outside became too loose and stretchy for my liking.
Has anyone had both? What are your feelings on them? My main concerns are:
- sturdiness - will the case start falling apart/become loose like the Seidio one?
- size - i understand a little bulk comes with protection, but which one is the smaller case of the two? I want to be able to shove it in my pocket without too much work.
Anybody have a comparison on the two? I tried searching around, but couldn't find any comparisons of them.

I bought the Defender. Put it on my phone and took it off after 10 seconds. sold it on eBay. I've had the Otterbox Commuter which I loved, but yesterday I got the Trident Cyclops and it is awesome! The problem with the defender for me is the entire outside is silicone, i hate that. It doesnt seem like it would stay on the phone very well either. I'm considering purchasing the Ballistic as well just for fun, but the Trident Cyclops has very good protection. I can see it taking a very large drop no problem. I also just found out that they sell 10 different skins for the Cyclops, so you can dress it up all sorts of ways.
edit: post number 420 for me! woohooo
edit 2: oh dang, they also sell a holster for the Cyclops? man this case keeps getting better and better!

ballistic all the way

If you want maximum protection, then the Ballistic is the only way to go. Only thing is the Ballistic also adds the most bulk of any case out there. It's definitely NOT pocket friendly, especially with the outer silicone layer on it. Without the outer silicone layer, it's about the same as the other rugged cases.

When I first got my evo at radio shack the employee had the otterbox and I didn't like the feel or looks so I tried the ballisitic case and I have been happy with it.

I just got the Cyclops from Trident Got to say not complaints here

Trident Cyclops. I got the limited edition green (i doubt it's actually limited edition, but it matches my theme).
It's sturdy, it feels good, it adds a little more bulk than otterbox but less than defender and it protects well. Good stuff, plus they changed the packaging to where the PET protector the camera and LED lights are optional so no blue glow when you take pictures with flash.
100% I haven't taken it off since I got it except for battery pulls. I highly recommend it. Look up a review on youtube.

Holster
Can anyone tell me if the Ballistic HC will fit the Holster without the optional outer silicone cover. I ask because in the video on their web site they put it in the holster with the silicone cover on.

Otterbox shouldn't even be an option.
There are extremes only. Otterbox and Seidio are extremely bad in my experience. Ballistic and Trident are awesome.

to be honest the otterbox commuter series has been my favorite case i have ever had. it is pocket friendly because it has the hard plastic on the outside and silicone on the inside. I have had my otterbox for awhile and I love it. I have a lifted F-150 and have dropped my evo getting out of my truck several times. this is essentially dropping from about 5 and a half feet and my case has yet to be damaged let alone my phone. these drops have destroyed screens on other phones but it has been safe in my otterbox. the next biggest plus for me is that i never have any issues with getting the phone in and out of my pocket.

Yes, the holster is made to work with or without the outer silicone layer.

Awesome build quality

Outer layer is removable for varying degrees of protection
Beautiful
Tougher and pricier feeling materials
Otterbox
Feels very flimsy overall
Kickstand breaks off
Ugly
Materials don't feel as good as they do with the Otterbox for iPhone
I think I remember on their facebook page...Otterbox admitted that they used a completely different factory for the Evo...but that doesn't explain the poor design...just explains the huge downgrade in feel...possibly different(cheaper)plastics.

I feel your pain....i am in the same delima. I think either the otter or ballistic. I have a friend who has the otterbox defender, i like it. The outer shell seems a little cheesy when you take it on and off, but actually feels ok once you get it on and get the front part of the silicone shell into the front groves of the hard case. Wish I had a friend with ballistic. The only issue I see right now with the ballistic is the size and the holster, I can't find pics of it in the holster without the outer silicone shell on. I can't see who now but someone (i gave thanks) did reply and say the ballistic would work in the holster without silicone shell.
The trident hasn't got my interest yet, I continue to read......................

Yes it does fit in the holster without the outer silicone layer (I have one) The Ballistic Case is AMAZING!

Which is the best case to buy value to my money

I having a hard time picking a case I need help willing to spend up to 30 dollars on one

What are you looking for in the case? Drop/shock protection, or just cosmetic protection? There's a lot of cases, but it's really personal preference.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Also are you using an extended battery or stock battery. That will make a difference too because of the size.

I have tried all three cases from Otterbox for the EVO. They all come with rigid screen protectors (not the flimsy, static ones). The Impact is a silicone case that offers good protection, but like all silicone cases, makes it difficult to get in and out of a pocket or pouch. On the other end, the Defender case offers the best protection, but also doubles the size of the phone. The included snap-in holster/stand only adds to the bulk. Not very practical at all. The middle case, the Commuter, is Best all around case. It is a plastic outer shell and silicone inner providing great protection while making easy to get in and out of pouches and pockets. This case provides the best protection I have seen without adding too much bulk. This case does not fit in the HTC EVO pouch, but it fits nicely in a Droid X pouch.

I use the Innocase from Seidio with a holster. It slides on and protects the phone well. I had one for my Nexus One for a year (I just got my EVO) and never had any quality issues.

I use the Innocase from Seidio with a holster too, but it not worth buying mine already pealling and looks horible

Got my otterbox commuter on eBay for 20 bux the other day after trying out various other cases, couldn't be happier and haven't looked back

I have the 40 dollar innocase and holster. I rolled my ankle and landed right on my phone that was on my belt. case was pretty scratched up and phone flew out of my holster and landed several feet away. No damage to phone and I am a big guy 275# all on my phone on gravel.

It is time for me to get a new innocase because in places it is cracked, but again I did fall on it. I did notice that the small piece of plastic by the power button cracks. I will buy another case but use my same holster, still in good condition.

Ballistic HC, $30 and Uber Tough
http://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-HA0486-M005-Hard-Case-HTC/dp/B004HM8BZI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=mobile&qid=1302980879&sr=8-2

I used the Seidio Innocase Rugged for a couple months. Never any issues and good protection, but didn't care for the looks and always removed it as soon as I got home from work.
About 3 weeks ago I bought the Ballistic HC in red/black and absolutely love it! Looks and feels MUCH better than the Seidio. I found my self just removing the outer silicone after work and keeping the case on I like it so much. A co-worker also has the Seidio and is now going to buy the Ballistic after seeing and holding mine. I was originally skeptical of the way the built in screen protector would feel, and/or affect the use of the screen. I was happily surprised at how I don't even know its there, it looks and feels like your touching the actual screen. Plus, what other case can you run over with a car and not damage your phone?!
There is an ebay vendor who has them for under $30 shipped, I received it in 2 days....awesome!!

I just recently not only got an Evo, but I also picked up the Ballistc HC in black and red from Amazon.com. I love this case. It does come with an additional rubber cover that goes over all of it but it's just too big for my pocket at that point.
It comes with an awesome holster if you use phone holsters at all. There is a "oil slick" effect if put the Ballistic on your phone. To get rid of it there is the ballistic baby powder fix (youtube it) or you can do what I did and just install the included screen protector that sticks to the screen.
This thing has some serious heft, you can tell it will withstand a lot of damage.
I paid $26.99 with 2 day shipping because I signed up for Amazon prime for a free month. I ordered it Sunday morning and got it Tuesday morning.
I highly recommend the Ballistic HC.

I currently own the Ballistic, Seido Rugged, Otterbox Defender, Otterbox Commuter, and Trident Cyclops. My two favorites out of all of these cases (yes i know i have alot of cases, hard to decide on which to use), are the Trident Cyclops, and the Otterbox Commuter.

I have the commuter as well and the protection is great but the silicone near the bottom of the case becomes loose and it bothers the hell out of me. They will send a new case with the warranty though.
Edit: Just got my Incipio case and I love it, the Otterbox has been retired.

I'm using the seido innocase active. Works well now but I do want to try the commuter. Reason I didn't buy the commuter is cuz the reviews I read about the the bottom geting loose. But tried it on from the store it looks really good.

Otter box commuter case/ Seidio s2 holster

So... I needed a case quickly because I do construction and need tough protection. The place I went to had the otter defender, but I don't like the look of it as well as the commuter. So for fun, I asked if he could take the commuter out of the package. I had my t989 s2 on me... In its Seidio case and holster. And bingo... The holster held the commuter pretty well. Shook it face down with my hand under it... And it took a violent shake to make my Moto X in its commuter fall out. So I bought it.
However.. The top clip on holster to release the phone looked like it would fit over the commuter a bit better if I straightened it's curve out a wee bit. Also the sides of the holster weren't very snug. So I took a lighter... Heated the plastic on those spots on the holster a bit. Now the top clip is a bit straighten and fits over the commuter a bit better and the sides of the holster are snug around the commuter now.
So... If anyone really likes the otter box commuter and wants a holster to go with it... And you don't mind tweaking the holster a bit... Amazon sells the Seidio holster separate from the case... For most phones anyway. Grab the S2 T-Mobile t989 holster. Then do some slight bending. I heated mine to long and melted the edges a little... So be careful. Lol I don't care cause it's beat to crap anyway. I may buy a new one.

Btw...if your phone does fall out of the holster and smashes ... It wasn't me that told you about it. I'll deny everything.
Seriously tho... It did take a violent shake to make it fall out. And that's my two year old holster. The springs on the release clip are a little loose now too. Think I'll buy a new one. Then it should be held even better.
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk

OK... An update. I still wasn't happy with the holster top release clip.... So I heated it up big time... It was very soft then. Slipped the phone in, in the commuter case and basically stretched the top clip over the commuter and held it until it hardened. Made the clip a little ugly... But now it's nearly a perfect fit.
Anyway... Gonna see how it goes.... Before I pay for a new holster and repeat all this. My springs are pretty loose..... It's 2 years old.
So this thread may be silly to you guys.... But just experimenting here. Lol
Just don't like the defender case... And didn't want to wait for shipping for something off Amazon. If I end up not liking this set up... Then I'll order a different brand case and holster combo. At least the commuter will protect my phone till it arrived. I do like the sleek look of the commuter tho. Great protection and not toooo bulky.

Perhaps Seidio has a Moto X specific holster? Have you checked?

They do... But it's for their case. Unless I could try it .. Who knows if it fits the commuter case.
I'm gonna probably just stick with my holster now... And after I'm done buying kids Christmas stuff... Get a different case with holster.
I do really like this commuter case... Sucks that otter doesn't make a holster for it.
I got my holster fitting great now tho .... It's just a little burn scarred . Lol

The commuter case and seidio holster were working great... But the springs on my two year old seidio holster's clip broke. Got a defender case and holster now. Big... But feels like a tank. In my job that's what I need. And once my defender is hacked up from work, I'll just use it at work and use my commuter outside of work, when I don't need a holster.

I really like the puregear shell/holster combo. If you do construction, it might not be tough enough to survive a fall from a height, but for my everyday uses (purse, jogging), it is great.

That's definitely a nice looking case. Does look thinner than my defender. Not bad at all!
For work, I do feel better with it inside the defender tank tho. Lol
When my defender gets enough dings and scratches in it, I might use my commuter outside of work...Or maybe something new. I'll keep your find in mind for sure. Might still want a holster outside of work. At work I'll keep it in my soon to be beat up defender tho for sure.
