Hey guys,
I got my hands on the Commuter series case from Otterbox, for the One X. I'm sure most of you have seen or own a variant of this case. It is a very popular style, composed of two parts, a plastic shell that wraps around a TPU membrane. This model fits particularly well, but not too tight, which I love. It offers fantastic protection, although it is a bit pricey.
Check out the full review below:
Great review! Hope Trident, Seidio and Ballistics would send u their case for review...

No prob, good enough you doing reviews for HOX, hopefully HTC kind enough to give you a free HOX for review purposes
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
bought one for my HOX+ but the top part didn't fit well. it seems it was not "clipping"the upper half properly.

Good for us looking for cases for day 1 protection just seen MobileDen and MobileFun have the FlexiShield cases in stock, guess if we are spending £500 at least we should give this baby some protection for now!
Both selling for £9.99 ex delivery.
that's sweet!
this is what i like about the Galaxy S line
accessories always are out before the device is even on the street
How is this a TPU case?
Just recently heard about these, so I don't know much about them, but it doesn't seem like this is a TPU case.
it sure looks like one, TPU is a kind of polyurethane plastics which holds up great not like the old silicone case which lost it's shape pretty quickly
Think a mod edited my original title! I've got a very similar case on my DHD got it from fleabay and they are very good!
yes i did
i'm using that exact same case on my Nexus S
better price in my opinion so i got my self two of each

Cheers will take a look at that they are usually nice without adding much thickness to the phone itself.

Thanks for the link I just bought the purple one from them as like a bit of colour and it's only £1.95 so can always get a different one if I don't like it lol
As for the case in the OP it's already had a negative review for being too slippery so I hope this one isn't the same. I'm a Capdase user for my HD2 and was hoping there'd be one available for the SII but there's not just yet so this one will do till it becomes available. Thanks again.

Great news
Hey guys,
I usually post my reviews on the Galaxy Nexus forums but I've recently gotten my hands on the One X, so I'll be bring some case reviews in the coming weeks. Today I got my hands on the Tough, from Case-Mate. This is a two piece hybrid case that looks to provide good protection, for users who are prone to dropping their devices.
You can find the full video review below:
I bought one of these yesterday from carphonewarehouse. It wasn't cheap. £30! But as I am always working out on site this case plus screen protector should do Me well

Ouch, definitely a high price to pay. Fortunately these cases hold up well from past experience and your device will be protected too! I'm still on the look out for a good screen protector as well.
Might have to get this, I dropped my SGS2 the one day I didn't have a case on and damn 2 nasty dents into it's body doh! Quite prone to dropping phones me!
I can see the white body having nasty scratches if the HOX falls onto a solid surface like concrete, this case looks like it will take it well.

I still have several more videos coming up on cases that I think are better (and worse) in some aspects compared to the Tough. You may want to hold your purchase until you check them all out
maybe you can get your hands on some of case in my poll thread and do a video review:

I have ordered the official v701 flip case..it looks good and protects the phone too..n I think the tough case is super ugly..spoils the look of this beauty completely..

if it counts "Klipsch S4A Android version" very awesome headphones maybe the best thin i got for my one X since i bought it.
Rock TPU case is what I've been using for a long time. I've dropped my phone a couple of times, nothing happened. The main advantage is a lip in the case near the camera.
I'll go with ballistic case.
A little bit bulky, but super safe, ranging from 17 to 19 $.

Dunno. I've been noticing that as well. Hope he's reserving it for pics of hot models holding customized HOXs or something.
I think this is the best case it's called a gameklip you can connect a ps3 controller to it. I can't wait to get one heres a link.

I'm using the Ballistic Case which I picked up from Amazon for under $12 - Would have preferred a Otterbox Defender as I am riding my bicycle around the world - But beggars can't be choosers and having someone to even get me the phone and case from Overseas was a blessing in itself - I just need to find a good screen protector. Would like to see this list include Screen Protector.
Hi there,
before opening this thread i read through the rest of the case related threads.
I haven't found a good leather pouch case, for htc one. I liked the previous leather cases i had for HTC ONE X/X+, sensation. i had the original leather cases by HTC.
Now it seems that HTC did not release an HTC ONE pouch case.
Do you have a good pouch case to suggest for htc one?
thanks.
Take a look here:

I have the one of 16,90.
Excellent quality!

Looks great, I was looking for a quality pouch for my device. Just ordered one myself, thanks for the link! :good:
Just got my case today, quality is very good!
Has anyone tried a bugati pouch on the yet? I feel like the iphone 5 is close enough in dimensions.
I know they don't make a One but they're real leather so they can stretch.

So I've emailed SENA Cases about their wonderful line of leather products for smartphones & Spigen about their "Crumena" case series -- both of which expressed slightly less than interested responses.
Here's the response I received from SENA :
Thank you for your interest in Sena Cases.
Unfortunately, we currently do not have plans to make that specific case for this device. However, that may change in the future if we receive a high volume of requests. With your consent, we will keep your contact information on file and notify you if and when such a case becomes available.
Sena Cases appreciates your business and apologizes for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Randi Weden

And the response I received from Spigen :
Thank you so much for contacting us and we appreciate your patience.
I’ll be more than happy to assist you with your question.
We have actually discontinued most of our leather products, but we are always looking for our customers for greater insight and demands!
Thank you so much for reaching out to us to express your interest in our Crumena case, we will definitely take note of it and let our developers know.
If you have any comments or suggestions, you can also go on our Facebook or Twitter to voice your thoughts on new products!

That being said, it looks like neither company will be producing a product for this model in the foreseeable future, so what other options do we have? I looked for phones that had similar dimensions and it seems the GS4 when compared is almost identical, give or take a slight difference.
Nexus - 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm (5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 in)
GS4 - 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in)
There are a few cases listed on SENA's website for the GS4 - what do you guys think? Will the sleeves / pouches created for the GS4 work, or should we hold out in hope of a company creating something for the Nexus 5.
Those who prefer the leather cases and have an N5, what are your thoughts?

They have three other options:
Belt clip with naked N5
No belt clip for N5 with a case

This looks to be just what i am looking for. I wonder how snug/tight it is. I prefer cases that have a strap to hold the phone in but this one might have to do i'm having a hard time finding a case for this and i hate not having a case...

I use an HTC pouch designed for the One X and some of the other recent HTC phones:
http://www.htcaccessories.com.au/PO_S650.aspx
Cost me about $10 off eBay... I have been using these pouches since I had a HTC Desire. Got the above case for my Galaxy Nexus, and to my surprise it fit the Nexus 5 quite nicely (it was always a bit big on the Galaxy Nexus).
It is a tight fit, but I have an older version of the same case so I know it stretches. The width is fine, but the height is an exact fit, there's no slack at the top end so if you drop it on the exposed side, it won't be well protected.
I'll put photos if anyone is interested...
where could one get this case in canada without paying 2 much for shipping. Not willing to pay the same or more then the case for shipping...

Media Devil Artisan leather pouch - wow
I just got the Media Devil Artisan leather pouch today am I'm totally impressed with the quality for the price... It shipped rather quickly for something coming from jolly old England to Minnesota... I got the black w/black stitching. I'd probably order a second one if I could get it in natural brown leather. I guess I won't be stalking Sena's site anymore waiting for their vapor sleeve.... :laugh:

I have a Dodo Durables for a HTC One sleeve and it will work with the Nexus 5 fine but it's a somewhat tight fit. It will sometimes trigger the power button when inserting/removing the phone. I wish they offered an all leather option - the canvas gets a little floppy with use - probably not as much of an issue when you're using it with the phone it's intended for.
