Has anyone heard about new cases available for the HTC Desire.
I've had a case from Dragonfly for a while, but it has started cracking now and I fancy something new.
Has anyone got a good suggestions?
search for GEL cases off ebay.
Haven't got a desire, but got one on my Hero and it looks fantastic.
Don't get RUBBER or SILICONE, they're weak!
I've done a bit of research and I think I might look in to a Case-Mate case.
Has anyone had one before.
I don't want it to crack like me current has...
I agree with DDotPatel
I have used used gel cases on basically all of my phone and I have never had an issue with them, the protection they provide is great, and its not too thick either.

Which one, there's a few different ones. They selling the gel ones for $15,... WTH.
Ebay gel cases, cheap as chips!
The gelli range of cases from case-mate seem to be good value.
I have seen them on sale for about £14.99...

Agree. They have very good comments in Amazon.
Personally I am not a great fan of bulky case so I like something lightweight and slim back cover and gives basic protection.
Ordering 2 of these plus postage is roughly $10 from NeTimes
I just got a inspire 4g and I still don't have a case for it. Any recommendations or anyone have one they don't use anymore? Just let me know!

I don't own an inspire (yet), but when I do this is the case I will be getting. I love speck cases.

I own the Platinum Series case from Best Buy. It is awesome.
Otterbox
I had 3 of the Candy shell cases for my iPhone, but after about 2 months each the cracked. WHile I had them they were great, but not that rugged.
I just got the Otterbox Commuter for mine and that thing is great, even the buttons are covered, and they are easier to press. Plus I can lay it down without worrying about the camera lens or the screen, it sticks out barely on both sides to protect.
One Of My Friends has a black one, you can barely tell its a case. Ill ask and try to hook you up.

The price of that case is the same price I got my bran-new Inspire 4G for.
I don't know if any of you are still looking for a case for the Inspire 4G (or DesireHD), but I have 10 hard shell black cases with a built-in kickstand. The cases are brand new and they also come with a screen protector.
If you're interested in getting one, please contact me at nkd4cl at g mail. I'd be willing to sell them for $15 + $3 shipping.
I just got a bunch more in, so I could drop the price. Hope this price point helps people out.
Depends on your budget and whatnot. OtterBox makes your phone indestructible for the most part (it's very resilient). If you just want a general case, I'd recommend just getting one off of eBay. That's what I did.
Case Mate Tough Case!!!! (ebay TPU not bad either)
to be honest, the TPU cases are pretty nice. not as much protection as other combo cases, but they sell at the mall for $20 and i got one on ebay for 69 cents after shipping. i had to wait a while as it came from china, but i was pretty impressed with the quality. it even keeps the camera from touching the table when i lay it down.
that said, i ultimately decided on the case mate tough case. it has a rubber inner layer and hard plastic outer layer, a nice ridge around the screen to keep it off the table, full port access, it actually makes the buttons easier to use, its fairly easy to get off and on if you need to but it CERTAINLY isnt going to come flying off if you drop it (i would know, from experience...lol)
my girlfriend has the speck candyshell for her iphone, and its nice, but its kind of hard to get the phone in and out. besides, i think the glossy finish will get scratched up quickly whereas the casemate will wear much better with its textured back.
OH and the casemate tough retails for $30 but i got it on ebay new for $15 definitely worth it! i got the tpu as a less bulky backup should i ever want a "sleeker" case or something happen to the tough one.
i looked at a lot of others, but they didnt seem to offer THAT much more protection when they cost 3x as much. this seemed like the best $ to protection for me since i did pay $50 for my inspire lol
My favorite cases hands down are Seidio cases. Fantastic quality, inexpensive, and they are very clean looking. I've used Seidio on my last 2 phones and will continue to use them on future phones that I own. I swear by them.

You can attach a charm to any phone and most phone cases with an inexpensive little "O" ring device. You might be able to find one at a store that sells phone accessories or you can buy them online.
it looks good
I'm really looking for recommendations here as I'm having a hard time finding something good. I just got my wife a galaxy nexus (sprint) and looking for a good case, probably the rubbery kind, but purple or pink or similiar.
Anyone give any links, recommendations or other? Thanks in advance!
ebay, My girlfriend has the verizon gnex and she got one of the cheap cases off ebay, it's translucent purple and pretty thin. I have an otterbox commuter on order for mine. They also make tpu cases and bumpers which can be had for pretty cheap on ebay. I always assume if I buy a case it's going to take some abuse, so I go cheap so I don't spend an arm and a leg to replace it. I went out on a limb with this otterbox case and spent a little more money than I am used to so, we'll see if it pays off. I got the otterbox for work (I work in a dusty environment and I wanted a tight case with some shock protection. I have a TPU bumper for the rest of the time. I've had 4-5 $2 cases in the past two years with my G2 and I don't regret it. You get some duds and you get some that can last 6 months to a year. I order 3 or 4 at a time since they are so cheap.
Thanks. I also just found this, but can't find any reviews on it. Looked really slick with a kickstand too!

Hey guys, a friend of mine just got his nexus 5 and he's looking for a case that will fit well with generic glass screen protector, something at about 15-20 dollars from eBay. Thank you and merry Christmas for those who celebrate.
$10 Ringke Hybrid case has been serving me well. Shows off the back of the phone and won't interfere with any SP.

Google Nexus 5 cases
As its quite long since the launch of N5 and after going through so many cases I would suggest you this shellster beltclip/kickstand case for your Nexus 5...as personally I own this case and m really impressed with the quality and comfort of this case...it allows you to have a very fine grip on the phone...and make your phone safe too...

Here ya go, I'll pimp my own thread hahah. I did a few reviews for ridiculously cheap/good deal ebay cases (all have a bunch of pictures). This is if you're into hardcases anyway. If you want softer cases (TPU/Rubber/Gel) meant for drop protection then these ones probably aren't up your alley. They will all work with screen protectors though.
Out of all of them, I recommend the Quicksand cases!!. They've sold so well though that the price has since increased to $1.99 with free shipping.

I've been reading this forum for an hour and I cant make a decision LOL :crying:
Which case should I get for my Nexus 5?
I was gonna get the ultra slim from spigen.. but then I read all these cons. Overall, almost all the "highly reviewed" cases on amazon have been negatively talked about ..
Which case should I get ?
I'm looking for mainly scratch protection, since I dont think i'll be dropping it much. Really do not want to add bulk, and I love the way the N5 feels without a case.
EXTREMELY open to recommendations , even if it goes against what i'm looking for !
If it matters i'm installing a MIME ghost screen protector :good:
looking forward to suggestions and recommendations ! thanks ! :fingers-crossed:

Can't go wrong with the official LG Hardshell case. Super slim, well designed, and light. Comes in white too if that tickles your fancy.

I'm quite partial to the Quicksand hardcases. I love the texture and the feel of it. It's also flexible and durable. It's super cheap in comparison to most other hardcases as well (which is why I have 8 of them in various colours haha). I got them for $0.99 each shipped, but they're a bit more expensive now because they've become so popular. Still cheap though.
You can see my review here (with tons of pictures), and lots of discussion about them as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577289
If you want just purely minimal. The OEM LG Hardshell will probably suit you. It's pretty much the most minimal of minimal cases you can buy. It turns out it doesn't really suit me (too much love for the Quicksand!) but there are others here who really love it. The black is similar to the back of the black Nexus 5, and the white case is similar (a bit more slippery, same as a white Ringke Slim, or Spigen Ultra Fit) to the white back.
You can see my review here of it (lots of pics too). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643884
I don't use a screen protector, so I'm not sure if the Quicksand would interfere with it or not. I don't believe anyone has said there is any problems with Quicksand cases and screen protectors though, pretty much everyone has said it is fine. But the LG case does not even create a lip over the screen at all so that one would be guaranteed not to have any issues.

Go for quicksand (they're awsome) or consider frosted semi-transparent if you have white nexus (semi transparent feels almost the same as the back of black Nexus).
They're just 99 cent each (around $3 if you want to buy it with fast shipping from US) so even if you won't like them it's not going to be like you threw away your money.
How about 2 quick sand cases for free? I have a black and grey quick sand case. I'll be more than happy to mail them to you. PM your mailing address if you're interested.
Edit: got your address! I'm not using it cause I just use it naked
The awesome cruzerlite bugdroid case. Super classy and functional. I would recommended anything rubber really, don't go with with hard cases since they offer little to none protection when dropped.

I've stopped myself from buying the SPIGEN's so far from seeing discoloration issues or scratches on corners just from the case itself !!
I've tried multiple cases always.coming back to diztronic tpu case. It just feels slim and good in hand.

I'm in the same situation as you.
I bought, a few weeks ago, the Ultra Fit from SPIGEN and after some time, it scratched a little bit 2 of my corners. I was very carefull because I expected it could happen (reading the reviews) so it's not too bad, but I won't use it anymore.
According to reviews, the Ringke Slim is worse for scratching corners...
So I'm looking for another slim/minimal case but all of them have bad reviews or issues.
I'm thinking going naked
or maybe should I get a Quicksand or a Poetic Palette, which one is the best ? the texture seem to be similar...
and what about this one from LG ?

I'm using ringke fusion hybrid for a nice balance of protection and size. Also have a slickwraps wood back wrap that shows nicely through the clear back. The case is only $9 on Amazon with prime shipping too. I may buy the tech 21 case though from T-Mobile. Had it on my old gs4 and absolutely loved the feel of it.

the quicksand and poetic palette cases are one and the same. I've got the poetic because the few extra bucks was worth it for prime shipping and a 3 year warranty, plus I've been happy with my poetic cases in the past.
the LG hardshell is perfect if you truly want minimal
I would suggest you get a nice case for around $10 and a few cheapos from ebay ~$1. These cheapos are cheap only in terms of price but get the job done, like the quicksand cases that are all the rage here. I personally would not buy something very expensive.
I have a few cheap cases from ebay that cost ~$2-$3 dollars each and a SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle case. I use the SUPCASE every day and its really good for a $10 case. You should try it out!
1. Tech21, only sold at T-Mobile. About $30, but worth it when you see the YouTube video demo. Also search for the thread here discussing it.
2. Spigen Clear Ultra Hybrid. $10 -$15. Totally clear, very flexible and protective. It was my favorite for a few weeks until I got #1.
I bought a dozen more, not worth mentioning except for the Spigen Black Ultra Hybrid with clear back. But #2 (another Spigen) is better.
Still, Tech21 beats them all.
