Cases update

So has anyone bought a silicon like case yet. I have been hoping someone would have put up a review for a case by now. So if you have bought a case for the aria where did u get it? And how good is it? Brand-name? Price? Etc.
Thanks in advance!

Got a case from at&t store its great in quality. already droped a few times with no issues. I think its the htc brand one. It cost like 20 bucks but its tougher and firmer than most silicon style cases ive seen. Also not as sticky as most so it slides in your pocket easier. Although its still sticky when its 92 degrees out like it was today.

The Amzer silicone one provides good protection but is bulky and does not fit snuggly on the phone. I could imagine the phone slipping out of the case to indicate how loosely it fits.

When I picked mine up from the AT&T store, they had a pretty nice soft shell case for $25. It was nice looking, fit the phone well (I almost couldn't get the thing off), and looked like it would provide decent protection. I skipped on buying it, however, since the price seemed a bit steep.

i just went to the ATT store today and they had a glossy black (maybe gunmetal) hard case for the aria, it was 25 bucks and i didnt feel like spending that much when i could get the same online for cheaper, but it did look nice.
didnt get a chance to put it on the phone though.
also, it was in a package that said soft case.

I love how this phone feels like it already has a case on it! I haven't dropped the phone (yet, thankfully) but If i did i would be too distraught. I just want to be able to buy a replacement back cover (OEM) for less than $30.

yeah, it is the case that says HTC on the back, and its the only one they have. its horrible, and very troublesome to unlock the phone.

It's a nice hard-ish version of your typical silicone case. It's actually really good and sturdy and my only gripe is that it's a pain to unlock it.. so I use No Lock, which allows you to unlock the phone with any button...the optical touchpad has become my new best friend

AS ANYONE TRIED USING A HD MINI SILCON CASE, OR DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT WILL FIT. aS WELL AS PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON. damn caps lock sorry

The Amzer silicon case purchased actually says HD Mini on its packaging. It is quite a loose-fitting case. The one from AT&T, which is more of a plastic smoke translucent case, fits very snuggly with the only downside that it's $25. It says HTC on its back and the silver HTC logo of the phone itself shows through nicely.

Don't have the case anymore, but you can fit an index finger between the case and the phone without much effort.

I just bought my wife a case from pdair for the hd mini and it fits great. The have a number of good colors and its snug as a bug.
It's a very durable silicon skin. Comparable to the one from at&t but its actually easier to push the buttons with the pdair case. So its confirmed for me: hd mini cases work great for th aria.

Hum.. I'm thinking about picking one up. I wish Otterbox had a case for the Aria. I'm prone to dropping my phone, so I want something that will protect it from at least minor falls.

eBay i9000 case

Pics included. It came with 2 plastic screen protectors.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...98967&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_4315wt_1137
Fits perfectly.

I bought the same one. Mine hasn't come yet. Yours looks great tho.

Nice case.
You might want to consider buying the proper screen protector for the vibrant.

I was just trying it out. I hate the feel of screen protectors - ended up taking it off after about an hour.

if you change your mind, try the one from realook. i just put mine on and it is amazing. can't even tell it's on there and it feels like the original glass screen.

Mine came in today (really quick might I add, only ordered last wednesday!) Mine looks exactly the same, except it doesn't have the cutout on the corner like yours.
I can't post the link, since I'm a new user, but look up the seller special_element on ebay.

Got mine today as well. Fast shipping! Still using the screen cover that it came with Maybe I should try the one that came with the case or the ClearFeak that just arrived as well.

How's the feel of the rubber? Is it tacky/sticky? Does it cling to your pocket?

I got this same case off of ebay, came in todays mail and looks nice and seems to fit perfectly except for the power and volume buttons which don't quite fit and I have to press quite hard or use my fingernail so I am not 100% thrilled but hey what can I expect for 3.99 with free shipping? It will work until we start seeing more released. Oh yeah, the case is nice and smooth, not sticky at all. Plus I like that it is transparent so I can still see my android sticker through it. It's the small things right?

I've had it for 3 days and have gotten used to the buttons. Not sure if I'm getting in the habit of it or if the case has "adapted" to the phone more some how.

I've had mine for a few days now. Love the feel of it. I don't find it sticky at all, and it didn't really cling to my pockets that much. For the price, I am satisfied until something else comes out. The screen protectors it came with suck.

It seems like I've always purchased a soft gel skin for all my previous phones for temp. protection until a thin flexible hard case comes along. I was going to buy this gel case until I found the mesh case on ebay, it doesn't completely wrap around all the corners, but it's thin & I love the look and feel of it over the gel case.

Plain Black TPU Case

Has anyone tried this case yet?
http://www.handhelditems.com/samsung-i897-captivate-flexi-skin-case-black-p-143869.html
It states that it is a TPU case. And, it doesn't appear to have any patterns of any kind. If you have ordered one, let us know how it fits. Pictures would be great also! I will be ordering my Captivate next week!

I found similar items on Ebay. I believe that they still have the argyle pattern, but on the inside; since the material is solid instead of transparent you cannot see them once you insert the phone. I have ordered one and am waiting for delivery.

Awesome! Would love a few pictures when yours comes in! Can you post a link to the eBay auctions where you've seen this? Or, did you purchase the one I posted?

I bought one off of ebay, here is the link (ebay case). Upon further review, I am not sure if Polyolefin is the same as TPU, perhaps it is a blend. I suppose I will find out in a few days.

Thanks for the info!

from your links, if you change the colors to the transparent one, it still has the argyle patterns. probably its the same case with the Amzer brand one...

You are correct, and that was the point I was trying to make, sorry if I wasn't clear. I do however think that the offering is different than the Amzer selection, because all the Amzer cases are made from transparent material. This case however appears to be made from non-transparent material which prevents you from seeing the Argyle pattern that is imprinted on the inside. It still has the pattern, but since you do not see the inside once the phone is inserted then you can no longer see the pattern. At least, I hope this is the case. I suppose I will find out soon enough.

Any of you get this yet? It looks quite promising IMO

Still waiting on mine.

TPU Case
There were 2 listed...one from Day Deal, which I bought, and the one linked above which also appears to be Day Deal under a different name. If you want it, you'd better hurry!!!

Only thing I don't like about these TPU cases is that they're glossy...
The Body Glove at least puts the stripes in it to get it grippier... Is it worth over twice the cost? Probably not.

Just received the case from the Ebay link that I posted and I am quite impressed. It is a nice solid black that almost retains the stock look and feel. Much easier to hit the softkey buttons at the bottom and slide the brightness along the top than when I had the black silicone case on it. It is glossy, but looks very nice. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a solid black TPU case, and does not want to see the funky Arglye pattern or whatever it is called. I will try to upload some pictures later if I can figure out how to get the pictures off my wife's camera without a cord...

Look forward to seeing it!

Super Slim Cases

Just stumbled accross this over at Amazon/Play.
Imperial Hard Case Super Slim Black
Looks like a decent enough case, protects the back mainly, and looks very thin

http://www.italkonline.co.uk/imperial-hard-case-super-slim-black-samsung-i9100-galaxy-p-18107.html
STK Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 TPU Case / Black
Not sure about this one, resembles the Neo Hybrid in a way, just doesn't have sperate layers.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/23551468/-/Product.html

Think im gunna take a gamble on the Italk one. Thin around the back, has holes in all the correct places. Looks like ir protects the phone when its turned over.
For £4.96 you can't go wrong really!

It's hard to tell from the photos whether it really does protect the front of the phone (when you place it face down). I'd be interested in what you find!

Yeah, i know what you mean. To be fair. I nver plce my phone screen way down anyway!

Came this morning, Looks promising.
Will upload pics etc in few hours

First impressions are its very nice and slim!
Cant hardly tell its there!
Pros
Slim
Feels nice
Doesn't look cheap
Gives sight screen potection (I mean slight, 1mm tops)
Cons
Doesn't give much protection to Camera
Buttons on side could irritate some people.
To be fair, i wanted a slim case, which this is. I dont intend to launch my phone around, i always place it down back first.
Ill try and add some pics of the phone in the case soon.

Shots of the phone in the case.
I apologise in advance, The worst digital camera i've ever seen used in my life!
Gives you a rough idea, if your sat here now thinking, should I, Shouldn't I buy one. Go ahead and do it! You won't be dissapointed for £4.95

Also available on eBay for about £3

Feels rather weird having this case on, been use to thickness and the lip over on the Neo Hybrid!

How's the grip with this case?

Yeah, its alright, feels nice in the hand.
Honestly its a really nice case for £4.95, or £3 on ebay.
You wont be dissapointed!

Do you have the link to the ebay one?

Has anyone bought cases by Rock?

Hey guys!
I came across a few TPU cases by Rock.. Flip and back-only. Anyone heard of or used them? Couldn't find any reviews for the case.. I'm not sure about the TPU quality and transparency of the back (for the flip one). Check them out, heres the link:
Flip: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/507.html#next
Back only: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/517.html#next

I bought this one ( search ROCK big city Brand New Leather Folio Case Cover Pouch For HTC One M7
in ebay) in navy, turned out to be a bit too shiny/shimmery for me. If your interested I can sell it to you from UK, unused with retail packaging.

Good to know! Two questions for you -
1. Is the TPU flexible? If so, is it like completely flexible or just a little?
2. Is the case too shiny? Like candy colours (think: Nokia Lumia)?

1. its rather hard, looks not like TPU, hard plastic would i say, but still flex enoth to fit it
2. the grey one is not that shiny, matt i would say

I ordered the black one, and it just arrived today. Bit of a shame I don't have a phone to put in it, because it looks great. It is glossy, but not overboard. Maybe similar to the gloss on the original PS3? But don't quote me on that, I only owned the slim.
My One should arrive tomorrow. Once it does, I'll post up some pictures so you guys can check it out.
As far as Rock cases go though, I had one for my One X and I really liked it. I would def recommend you guys check them out. Or also Capdase. I just got a white case from them today as well. Both very nice. One is glossy, one is matte.

Thanks! Looking forward to the pics

Do you order straight from their website ? I had their case for my s3 and loved it but then a whole ton of knockoffs started coming out.

So my phone arrived, and I had it in the Rock case within about 5 minutes. I'm in Korea for the day, so I'm trying it out. So far: really like it. The case fits like a glove. Doesn't snap on really tight like some, but there is absolutely no movement. I actually prefer this to the ones that make you think you are going to break your phone putting on/taking it off. The black on black looks so good! It's super thin, so the phone shape is maintained. It also has a very slight lip around the edges on the front so you can put it down on it's face, if you want.
The negatives: the black is a fingerprint magnet. I guess that's why they bundled a cloth in the package. The other is I am afraid I'm gonna drop my phone and it will break. I attribute the fear to having just got the phone, as well as being pretty hungover . If I were to drop the phone, the case wouldn't do much to protect it. It's more like a scratch guard.
Anyway, so far I really like it. I bet the coloured ones on the black would look ridiculous good. I'll add pictures when I get some time.
