I've found a number of Sites selling cases for the Ozone (I assume they'd work on the other devices based on the Maple/Willow)

Does anyone have any experience with any of these vendors? Know the source? Or have any thoughts on the items?
Thanks.
IMHO i wouldnt buy a case just yet, unless its from ur service provider or from HTC itself.
in alot of cases and reports ive read they are using the Blackberry Curve cases with minimal NOTICEABLE modifications to make them Snap compatible, and well thats no bueno!
Talkie Tech Cases
I just got 2 cases from Talkie Tech and I can say they're made for the HTC Ozone. Definitely *not* a mod of another phone.
Price was $9.95(US) plus flat rate shipping ($4.95 I believe) and I got them in 2 days.
Very satisfied, they're a great product.

I just bought this one on Ebay-
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400070510706&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:1123
I had a hard plastic case for about 2 weeks, took it off to pull battery and noticed pits from rocks/dirt that got under the case... Soft Skins = Win.
Had a silicone case for 3 weeks, easy to clean, no dirt, best buy.
I use the Ozone belt clip / holster available from VZW
Hard Plastic
I bought a hard plastic case, coated in rubber on the outside, for about $20 from verizon corp. store... It makes the phone a little easier to handle, without it I always felt I was going to drop it, def. a good choice for me, it snaps together well, and has a little pit where you need to insert the edge of a coin and pry it apart, not going to pull apart by accident. The thick design also protects the cam lens from scratches as well. I'd recommend something like this, by the way they even gave me my 22% work discount on the accessory, as well as on the monthly bill.

Will Ozone cases fit my Sprint Snap, or are there slight differences that wont allow snap cases to work?
Case Mate Barely There for Dash 3G
Here is one on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Case-Mate-Barel...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item19baaafcca
It comes in 5 colors, my choice is black.
This is the FINEST case for the Dash 3G, a little pricey but you get what you pay for. They go for about $17 on most websites. Form fitting case, protects the sides and corners and adds strength. Comes with a clear screen protector. Adds on a couple of millimeters to the size but you can find a leather case that will fit even with the Case Mate installed when you are on the go.
This case also removes easilly in case you want to change the battery or whatever.
I went quite a few cases before i found this one, and I love it. Forget about the cheap snap on cases they break, the expensive snap ons they wont come off without breaking, the aluminum cases block the signal, this is the case you want!
I´ve just buyed the black silicone case posted before, soon as I got it I´ll post some pics
I got 2 Ozone protective plastic/rubberized front case from handhelditems.com along with the mirror screen protector, along with fast USPS shipping - all for under $10 (USD)
The case fit together nicely & tightly, and made it nearly the same size as the classic Motorla Q series - all the factory slots, usb port, camera & side buttons are easily to use. It gives the phone the extra weight, touch & feel and even if it is dropped, should give it good amount of protection.
I then slide mine into one of those Motorola side pouch for extra margin of safety. At other things, I just put it in the pocket as it's so slim and away from keys, coins or items that can scratch.
I had the leather case with rotating belt clip from VZW for a while and that worked too, except the plastic over the screen sometimes do cause problem trying to read it outdoor, plus, dust gather underneath it.
I have a slightly used OEM Verizon Ozone holster if anybody wants to pony up $10.00 you can have it.
The accessories suck for this phone, like 2 crappy cases available. maybe 3.
anyone find anything descent?
I agree, this phone is largely being ignored by that accessory makers in favor of the hotter, sexier phones. Still, I managed to find this case on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NY7CVU . Very well made and fits the phone perfectly. I did a slight mod on mine and cut a small rectangle out of the side so I can charge the phone without having to take it out of its case. Otherwise, have only tried one screen protector, which turned out to be junk.
bandroidx, I think I have most of the cases available on the market. The Amzer rubber cases are inexpensive (9.95) on Amazon. They are grippy and secure on the phone. The Otterbox Commuter is nice also and available at Amazon. It is a two piece design with a hard plastic exterior that wraps around a rubber inner liner. I also got a Speckcase from AT&T when I first got the phone. The case was an early production and lacked a cutout in the rear for the speaker. This has since been remedied. I didnt care for it as much because it is so secure around the phone that it is hard to get in and out to access battery. Hope this helps.
I got a nice rubber form fitting case with all the cutouts and a wide selection of colors on Amazon for $1.25+$2.95 shipping, as far as a screen cover, I haven't needed one with the gorilla glass it features.
amazon.com search for Cbus wireless, they ship quick too!
The only case we have at ATT Cor stores are the *speck cases. They look great and fit well but they cover the speakerphone so if you rely SP your out of luck.
I use an invisible shield case on mine. Works great and has definitely helped protect my phone and makes it easier to wipe down.
I got an otter box and love it and they're only like thirty three at amazon which isn't much more than the spec. The defender.

i got the hard plastic cover case from ATT pretty suckish and i really dont use it at all, i only use the screen protector
It would be nice to see some sort of car dock for music/nav in the car. Im not a huge fan of cases because of the rubber-like outside already on the phone.
You tried googlin international online stores?
Otterbox
+1 for Otterbox, great case with good protection and fit
I just don't like how the proximity sensor is just open. Dust gets in like crazy.
Sent from my MB520 using XDA Premium App
given that its not high end phone its no surprise there few accessories are available at the moment.
i'd love an extended battery more than anything else. i'm a heavy user.
can anyone recommend a nice one? i'm not sure what to get.
I wiah we had better accessories
the used bravo i just got has a otter box commuter case on it, im really not imppressed with the fit, its big. on my friends evo 4g is big too.
so anyways im buying a couple of ebay rubber cases. if there are good, i will post the link and some pics when i get them
Having an idea to make my own car and home docks. Phone reacts to magnet around the usb port. Idea idea. Also I saw a dock at an AT&T store that looked like one for the bravo but one little detail, the usb would be backwards from our phone. Take it apart and just turn it around? Hmm.......
after 3 days ordered i got these cases, i got them from this seller http://myworld.ebay.com/shipmaster8/?_trksid=p4340.l2559
link to item
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230700814358#ht_888wt_1037
they are 5.75 for 2 free shipping, really good fit maybe just 1-2 mm off, doesnt effect anything, its real good for the price fast shipping. i wound say much better quality than the otter box commuter. beefier too, not very bulky
i also got these films, very good too

here are the pics
Here's some good accessories!
Of course everything is on eBay.
Desktop Charging Dock
Wall Dock + Extra BF5X Battery, Cheap! I would buy it just for the battery.
Search Results for the tons of cases now available + Screen protectors too. I really like the look of the Carbon Fiber case. Going on a shopping spree in February. Budgeted $800 for eBay stuff.
So fairly recently i purchased the Cyclops case from Trident after watching
bobofosho123 video review and figured i'd make a post about the case and raise awareness of a good case
The case overall is great. It added the bulk and safe to grasp feel to the phone, without the case I always feel like i'll crush it in my bear like grip
Ordered it in White, probably a mistake as the white took on a dirty color to it rather quickly. the white plastic on the back side feels soft and gentle. And the silicon outer ring is great for what it does. I've launched the phone outta my lap a few times getting out of my truck and everything is all stars and sparkles still (good).
Has the built in screen protector which I have not noticed to alter the touch sensitivity at all, (also great at protecting.) And just about 0 picture alteration. The protector also covers the light sensor... which i have noticed causes the phone to not recognize it's not near your face after a call is over.
-so i cut it out- and everything is swell again.
The power and volume buttons on the side work wonderfully with the silicon strip over them.
**Couple other downsides for me, might have been the molding on the silicon for my specific case, but the tabs to pull the plug out of the usb and headphone jack seemed almost non existent making it rather hard to open them up.
And the seperatly purchased holster has been out of stock forever. ((((EDIT)))) finally in stock and ordered
because of this I put the phone in my pocket and like most silicon and gel cases it collects pocket fuzzies of doom rather well.
the closeness of the bezel near the screen does make it hard to bring down the notification slide. ( but i use the swipe down gesture in ADW for that anyways.)
After having quite a few cases, the casemate you can get at the tmobile store, the gel cases, some plasticy snap ons, just a generic belt holster thing, otterboxes case. I will stick with the cyclops.
All in all worth every $$ it cost. I.M.O.
I have to say that I disagree, I originally purchased this case and I was disgusted by the quality.
In my experience the built in screen cover really took away a lot of screen sensitivity. I had to apply a lot more pressure to type any of the letters on the side of the screen, even using when using swype! So I ended up removing the built in screen protector, it was no big deal it popped out with a little pressure.
The next problem I had with this case was the headphone and micro usb port connectors, the phone already has a usb dust shield built in so why protect it? They were just too hard to remove and I use my vibrant daily to listen to music and to transport files between home and school so this was another annoyance.
I used the case for about two weeks before I could not stand the bulk and the cheap feel of this case, I swear the silicone would pop out of place every time I put it in my pocket.
After everything was said and done I went back to my body glove case and used it until it broke because I dropped my phone while riding my bike then I ordered up an otterbox and could not be happier. Best case for the vibrant in my opinion, slim, no frills and plenty of protection.
Don't buy one of these cases it is a waste of $30, trident cases are nothing but poorly designed bs.
I also have the Trident case and am.very happy with it. It provides wonderful protection for me. The only
Issue for me is that it is not pretty to look at lol I'm s girl lol. The black and grey.was the best looking out of the selection and goes quite well with the Trigger rom I love so much. I like the look of the Otterbox and may purchase one in the future. For ultimate protection I would recommend the Cyclops case. No issues with the screen protection at all.

hi guys, i have to buy a case for my galaxy nexus, is katinkas case that good?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008D8UTQ6/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
it looks really thin, anyone has experienced it?
nobody knows?
This video may not give many opinions on the case but it show cases it a little better. For what it's worth it looks like one of the simplest nicest cases I've came across. Good find!
Found it for $4.93 on Amazon US as an add-on item (total in cart, including this, must be $25 or more). Ordered one for the rare occasions I need a cover. Mine is normally bare. Family member uses the Diztronic on his.
I just got mine from Amazon. Paid about $12 for it. Sorry, don't have pictures, but here's my take -
Very slim plastic material - thinner than the Diztronic Matte Black Flexible case, which I had on before this. It's not like TPU, which has a more rubbery consistency.
Does not cover the bezel at all, so if you lay your phone face down, the case does not touch - this is probably the biggest issue for me.
Cutouts are precise, but do require just slightly more pressure to use the power and volume buttons.
Overall, not bad for under $15. I would not pay any more than that, though. I think the Diztronic case is a better buy. It's cheaper, better quality IMHO, and comes with a screen protector.
If the Katinkas covered the bezel, even just a bit, I'd definitely keep it on the phone.
It looks cool
Is there white version (or more clear) too?
Yes there is

I'm still waiting for my black one from amazon, i'll let you know if it is worth
Just wanted to do a review of some cases I bought and tried recently for my LGOG, hoping the info would be useful to other people. There are some other good and cheap options available online, but these are the ones I tried first-hand. I am really happy with all three of them, so here's the proof that sometimes you get more than you pay for...
First, a generic sleeve picked up at a local dollar store while I was waiting for my Amazon order to arrive. For just $2, it's pretty much as good as free. Simple, but ingenious: two pieces of synthetic leather (it's high quality, smooth, soft, and doesn't stink) stitched together, but with an added pullout ribbon that is surprisingly convenient, and works wonderfully to get the phone out. My wife was quite amused by the way it worked (as was I ). Sized perfectly for my phone, and looks pretty nice and elegant, too. Excellent basic protection sleeve, considering the price. Highly recommended, if you prefer your phone naked, but still want reasonable protection carrying it around. Five stars from me!
Next comes the Diztronic case, ordered from Amazon. It's a low-profile TPU wrap-around skin that looks and works much better than it costs. Very nice soft touch finish, clean design with precise cutouts, sharp looks and enough protection for daily use. The fit is perfect, feels like this phone was born in it. Some people on Amazon complain that it peels the screen protector at the edges due to a tight fit, but I don't use screen protectors, so I don't care. Adds very little bulk, but gives a nice protection around the bezel, so you can safely lay your phone face down. It also levels the protruding camera lens cover on the back, so it doesn't get scratched easily. One thing that seems weird at first is that the design around the volume and power buttons is very different. But then I realized how much it actually helps -- the power is recessed deeply in the cutout, making it much less prone to accidental presses, while still easily reachable with a fingertip. Very convenient. It would be nice to have a better grip on the sides (like a diamond pattern or something), but even as is, this case still makes the phone much less slippery than naked. And I didn't like the prominent logo on the back, as I prefer all my things with as little branding as possible (ideally, none, but that's just wishful thinking). Four stars (minus one for the grip and the logo).
The last one is a cheap dual-layer case pretending to be an OtterBox, also from Amazon. I saw this case there under different brands; mine was Aimo. I used OtterBox cases in the past, and to be honest, this one is quite impressive in comparison. Pretty much the same design features (except the port covers), build quality and the level of protection as Commuter series, but for just a small fraction of a price. And it has a handy folding stand on the back, which works in both portrait and landscape. If you are reeeally nitpicky, you might find the fit between the inner silicone layer and the outer hard shell a tiny bit loose along the top and bottom edges, but hey, it's not exactly an OtterBox, OK? Again, you really have to look hard and close to notice this. All the cutouts are precise, and the buttons are nice and light to the touch. Note that this case is quite bulky, and doesn't match the design style of the phone itself, so some people may not like it for its aesthetics. But as far as protection goes, this is probably the best option for this kind of money. This case is available in different colour combinations. Nothing beats black for me, but you can get yours in neon pink, if you want. Five stars, hands down!
Thanks for these suggestions and pics.
My first case for OG was Nilkins hard plastic case - at first it may look good, but actually is a piece of you know what. The rubber layer on the case started to peel off after 2 weeks first on the corners then the rest, due to this the phone looked ugly. After a while corners just broke off completely. All this happened with regular use without any extremes.
The next one I bought was a bit cheaper also from China - TPU X Type soft silicon I guess. I've been using it for many months now and it havent changed a bit. Good protection, looks nice and I guess it wont change forever unless you cut it with scissors
So yes, cheap can be good, but buyer beware as some cheap cases will be a headache.
I have this one:
aliexpress: /item/Genuine-Brand-New-IMAK-Crystal-series-PC-Ultra-thin-Hard-Skin-Case-Cover-Back-For-LG/1027800082.html
Phone looks nice in it. The plastic is sturdy, but it scratches easily. However it's a cheap one so no risk in trying it.
And the classic one gel case:
aliexpress: /item/Hot-Sale-8Colors-S-Curve-Line-Shape-High-Quality-Soft-TPU-Rubber-Wave-Gel-Soft-Skin/1310173671.html[/url]
This offers complete protection, but it's ugly.
PS: Just copy rest of URL after aliexpress.com to see it. I'm not allowed to post links.
First case I got was this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/QuickSan...lePhoneAccessories&hash=item3f25597db6&_uhb=1
It still works great to this day, but peeled the screen protector off.
I have had many E975 cases, flip ones, rubber and hard ones.
Currently I am using the LgOg official bumper and it is a dream, sometimes the holes are tight but I simply file them and they work fine
