You guys should try this case too. (Incipio Feather case) I spent like 3 days searching for the perfect case for my captivate (from silicone case to leather pouch) and this one has by far the best quality and look, not to mention about the extreme thinness. Got it this afternoon and fits perfect to the phone and looks great as in the picture. The only draw back is that it doesn't cover the front side, but I can live with that.
I loved that case with my iphone, it's crazy light and thin. The only problem I had on my iphone is all I could get was white and it got nasty dirty in a week, so I would advise against white

Is it made of the soft rubber like material that gathers dust?
it's made of plastic, but looks like it's mixed w/ some sort of rubber or soft material because it's got that little bit of soft touch. (maybe that's why it's more flexible too) So far it doesn't gather any dust like some silicone cases do, but i will have to see more since i just got it today.
i wish they had more colors. Black phones get lost in the void that is my purse.

Ebay captivate incipio and they have the exact same case but in pink (but its called magenta)
From the eBay description: "With a convenient two-part sliding design, the EDGE™ embodies innovative cases focused on accessibility. Simply remove the bottom cap to dock your device in most any docking station for quick and easy charging."
I have a home dock I put the phone in every night. This is the main reason I stopped using a case. How does this design work with the Samsung dock? I can't tell from the pictures and I'm not willing to risk $25 to find out.

Not sure if you realize but the EDGE is a different case than the Feather, which is what the OP got. Again, sorry if you knew that. Just thought you might not realize.

I thought so, but the one I was looking at on eBay (that I took that quote from) matched the one in the pic the OP posted.
Just wondering if this slides on like a silicone case or if it clips on like other hard plastic cases, is it hard plastic or like a hard silicone?
Any way you could take a picture, the incipio site doesn't really show anything to great about it?
Does it fit tight?
How does it hook on?
Even though I'm a dude I'm tempted to get the "Magenta" one just to spruce up my phone haha.
Is it hard to get on and off? I need to replace my battery once a day.
The Feather is 1 piece that snaps on, and from the pictures, it looks like it only hugs the corners. The EDGE is a 2 piece snap on case.
*taken from http://www.myincipio.com/
Does anyone have any photos of this case from the top or sides? I can't find any real world or manufacturer pics of that.
that looks nice
it doesn't cover the edges and by the looks of it, it only protects the back and if you place it face down it won't lift the phone off the surface any
It looks nice but it doesn't protect anything. The corners and front have no protection. With my experience when you drop a phone the corners get messed up

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.

Hello there
I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy SIII and the first and only case I have ever used for it was the flip cover, which I absolutely loved, perhaps more than the phone itself. I just realized that there's an official HTC flip cover called the Double Dip Flip. I read some reviews about it on XDA and other websites and as usual some are good and some are bad. There seemed to be a lot of issues with the early units of those covers, like blocking the microphone, which were fixed in the latter units. The one thing that concerns me the most is whether or not it actually scratches the device? My device is silver and I absolutely love its brushed aluminum body and wouldn't want any scratches on it, even though I know that sooner or later I'll get some but I'd rather delay that as much as I can. I might opt for a ZAGG Invisible Shield so I can protect the back and the sides, but I am really interested in the flip cover because it seems very ideal.
What are your experiences with it? Did it ever scratch your device? I am not the type of people who keep removing covers and cleaning, except maybe once every week or two, so I am looking for something that's durable and doesn't need constant care and cleaning.
I have a rubber back at the moment which is actually the only case I have seen for the HTC One in Egypt, or at least in the stores I have been to - it's just not as popular as the Galaxy over here.
Thank you.

The flip cover is cloth on the inside, and does not scratch the device at all. As long as you keep it clean inside (As you need to with any cover), there's no reason for any scratching. The only issue I have with mine is the corners are a bit flimsy. The phone absolutely will NOT fall out of the case no matter how hard you try, but they do have some movement in the corners. Otherwise it works fine and looks good.
I really like the cover overall, especially since I use it as a iPad-style smart cover, turning the phone on and off using Tasker + proximity sensor.
Thanks, the cloth on the inside is definitely reassuring. Ah, so from what I understand the corners don't tightly grip the device and therefore it moves a little bit? Well, I suppose that's okay although it can get a bit annoying if you'll be using it as your daily driver. There is a thread on here in which members posted several cases, and there's a Speck case I really liked for it; there are also some ultra thin ones which seem awesome, but of course they don't seem protective at all but rather just for looks, and this time, unlike when I had iPhones, I am looking for protection rather than beauty - to be honest, a naked HTC One is more beautiful than any device I've ever seen before, so the cover is just for protection, nothing can make it look better. Haha. Thanks for your reply.
I personally love it, and I've had this case since it's launch, protects the phone solidly I guess, the one thing I don't really like is that it doesn't cover the sides but other than that, it makes my One look really sophisticated and sexy haha
I just got back from the HTC store and I got it. It looks and feels solid, as you said, and I love the leather-like material which seems to be durable. I thought it would cover the sides as well but I guess it's better than nothing; plus, it'll make it easier for me to clean the sides every day because white gets dirty rather quickly. I also love the landscape feature which wasn't available the Galaxy SIII's flip cover, it really makes it much easier to watch videos on YouTube and such.
I like it, but it's kind of a pain in the ass when taking pictures.

That's true. I don't use the camera often though so it doesn't bother me much.

There are some things I dislike about this case but I bought anyways knowing the negatives but in general I love this case it's easy to snap on and off because I enjoy having my phone bare at home and the stand is really cool and useful so I'm gonna keep but I do hope they redesign this case as the back looks like a crease mess and camera cut out being a little too big exposing the phone while closed

I finally got my Voia CleanUP case from Voia.
Was really looking forward to this case, with the quick-open cover and the slick looks that were offered on the website: http://www.voia.co.kr/goods/view?no=362
However after using it for a while I'm extremely disappointed with it, and I feel the quick cover/quick open feature isn't all that useful and somewhat gimmicky. Here's a quick review.
General Notes:
- The transaction was quick and easy, even from Korea. Very nice job by Voia here.
- I've posted an album of the phone installed in the case here: http://imgur.com/a/rJSLJ
Pros:
- Very nice looking case, really like the "brushed metal" look on the front of it.
- Fairly slim, keeps the bulk of the phone down
- The Quick-Open feature is somewhat nice, but also a con. The case doesn't seem to utilize the second screen function any differently than without it, but turning the phone on and off with the flip of the cover is pretty cool. I guess.
- Phone fits snugly and easily in the case
Cons
- The quick-open flap doesn't stay closed, flush with the phone (see photos). This was the most frustrating part for me because it actually makes the phone kind of a pain to just pick up and use since you'll be fumbling with the partially opened cover.
- The Quick-cover feature to turn the phone off and on is pretty poorly implemented. Flipping the case closed to turn off the phone is actually quite nice. However turning it on, especially if you use fingerprints, is a pain. When I open the case I flip the cover all the way back behind the phone. However this completely blocks the fingerprint sensor. So instead you have to flip the case open half way with one hand and use your other hand to put in your fingerprint. I'm not too sure there is much Voia could have done here, but this makes the phone fairly inconvenient to use
- The corner bumpers are just hard plastic. While it offers better than no protection at all, any fall from even a marginally significant height will not be cushioned by the hard plastic. If you drop the phone on the left side where the spine of the cover is, there is absolutely no protection at all. If you're looking for good drop protection for your new V20, I wouldn't go with this
- The volume buttons.... this one doesn't make sense to me. When the case is closed the volume buttons are covered by the spine of the cover. You can still use them, but you have to sort of guess where they are. When the case is open they're, oddly enough, even harder to get to as the folded spine of the cover blocks your thumb from getting right to them. You'll see in the photos.
Overall for about $25 this case was a huge let down. It does more to make the phone inconvenient to use than convenient. I'm going to get in touch with Voia to see about getting a refund. Maybe somebody else will have a different experience.
I've got this case as well & have never been a huge fan of this style of case as it is,at least not for a daily driver:
All cases such as this seem to get in the way of usability one way or the other.
I use mine for those times when I leave the house & know I won't be using the phone much at all,the main benefit being while in-pocket,the front flap serves to protect the phone from other items in my pocket (keys/etc...).
It's a well-crafted case & I don't have the problem with the front flap staying partially open as you do (perhaps check that the phone is fully seated in the case,I had this problem at 1st).However,those looking for bullet-proof protection a la Otterbox should look elsewhere,as this style of case isn't built to withstand anything more than minor bumps/drops/etc....
I recommend this case for those that use this type of case,but,with reservations,as you noted regarding using the fingerprint scanner.

Agree with all your remarks. I've emailed Korea to see if they are changing the design at all. For me the biggest drawback is the cover not closing. If I put the phone down face down all the time to keep the case closed there's no point in having the window for the second screen. Will post if I get any satisfaction.

I have the Spigen case, but was considering this one. I wish it would close completely. I would be sold! Thanks for the review. Please keep us updated as to whether they are changing the design.
Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk
I also have the case.
The pros are the fact that the color actually matches (Titan in my case), It protects more than 80% of the screen when the door is closed and recesses the rear camera so putting it on a table will not scratch it.
I don't have an issue at all with the case door opening. As a matter of fact, I've had a spigen quick view case for my S4 which clipped close and it was a slight pain in the ass.
I like how the view hole doesn't block the camera. I at times wonder if they should have put a hole for the finger print as it is really annoying to open the phone and slip your right hand behind to access the fingerprint scanner. I also don't like how the volume buttons are blocked.
I'm happy with it over any of those worthless cases that only protect the back of the phone.
Also bought this case and is my favorite so far.
I found the following:
Although the cover didn't close all the way initially it now does. The binder side seems to stretch slightly with use until it's flush. Enough time in the pocket and it will become flush.
I wish it had a felt lined inside cover instead of just hard plastic
This case matches the contours really well and you can still enjoy the phone's design.
I really like having all the port side exposed so that cable and headphone blockage isn't an issue.

Just received full refund from Korea. Told me to keep the case. I'd definitely buy it again if they fix the fit.

I have had the case about a week. Mine stays closed... perhaps a screen protector binding?
Very well made but yes you need to remember to use the fingerprint sensor with your right hand while opening. I find myself using the dot password more like I did on my g3 with the same type case. About ready to take a gromit hole punch and make a hole for my finger sensor : )
The materials are very slippery both closed and open. the one on my g3 was not nearly as slippery. Thinking of ideas to solve this that are clean.
I do like the protection for the front as I am hard on screens and dont like protectors.
It is also very thin which i like but as others mentioned not much protection. i dropped my g3 with a similar case several times. Some damage on the corners but the screen always survived. The case cracked on 3 corners : )
I switched to a tpu type case for a trip to Disneyland in case of dropping it but the thickness was a real pain. Jury is still out ...
Thanks to the OP for the review on this case (and for the heads up since I didn't know about this one yet) because I think I'll have to check it out, but I just a couple quick questions for anyone who might know.
How long did shipping take for you guys who have yours already? Also I bought a cheap flip case the day I got mine from Amazon and it's actually not as bad as I thought it would be, but does anyone know it it's possible to have the screen unlock when you flip it open but still be able to use your fingerprint everywhere else? Everytime I flip it open I have to put my pin number in (which I'd rather have it go straight to the screen) but if I want to disable it it also disables my fingerprint, does it anyone know if there's a way around that?

Important update. Due to the hard plastic around the viewing window, it can cause scratches on your screen. I have a rectangular mark on the screen that can't be removed. This is a VERY STUPID move on the maker's part. How idiotic can a designer be?

Ok now damn that would certainly be one hell of a deal breaker imo! Sorry to hear about that with your phone and I hope you don't take this the wrong way because I'm definitely not trying to say you're mistaken or anything (I don't even have the case so I couldn't argue without what you're saying even if I could to), but I'm just wondering can anyone else who has this case also confirm this?
