If you go with Otterbox, stay away from the Defender. It is nowhere near the quality you would expect for that price, and doesn't come close to the quality of the Defender for iPhone. Lots of people have had bad experiences with Seidio as well, their cases tend to fall apart after only a short while and their warranty process is ridiculous. The TPU cases are cheap pieces of junk too. Trust me, they don't look nearly as nice in person as they do in pictures. If you want something rugged I would recommend the Trident Cyclops or the Ballistic HC. For something middle of the road go with the Otterbox Commuter, and for the thinest case possible go with the Casemate Barely There.

Thanks for the info

Or you can get a TPU case off of ebay. Its less than 5 bucks and I like it alot. Its nothing fancy at all, but its a hybrid of the hard plastic snap cases and the silicone cases. It provides some front screen and rear camera protection too. sot he rear camera doesnt hit the table etc when set down. It also wraps around the corners nicely and "Snaps" if you will, around the edges.

I picked up one of these for under $5 and it fits like a glove! It's a thin silicone case and then a hard outer shell, but doesn't add much bulk to my evo. They have other colors as well and it's a US seller to boot so no waiting for a month for your new case to arrive from HK. Remove the @ and replace with a .

I just got the seidio innocase active on ebay for like 25 bucks. I've never like how bulky the otterbox cases are and this case has a really nice feel to it almost like its part of the phone.

TPU for the win. I got a smoked clear one like a month ago and love it. My 2 yr old nephew threw my phone against the wall on NYE. I was kinda freaked for a second and I picked it up and everything was ship shape. Also dropped it once on the carpet in my office and zero problems whatsoever. Totally happy and impressed for $5 dollars.

Tpu!!! Thin and fashionable with a great hint of protection. Luxmo makes great ones with screen protectors! Trust me, I own 8 different cases.

I'm a big fan of the Ballistic case.Outstanding protection. I like the bulky feel of it.
This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.

I'd recommend do some research find which case you like best then Craigslist Brotha. I agree I wouldn't pay 50 bucks for my otterbox deffender series. But I got it for 25 bucks new in box off some guy on Craigslist ill take that deal all day so give it a try is all I'm saying.

Best buy has these Platinum cases which fit nicely over the evo and even on top of a screen protector. Dust accumulates but it's not too bad. Just clean it once a week.

If you end up using a Seido Innocase (not the rugged or active) like I do then you'll have to shop well for an enclosed holster if you need one of those too because the fit becomes different. Amazon is full of reviews of all the Otterboxes, Seido, etc-good and bad. They often come with a belt clip holster that doesn't enclose the phone entirely (for me, the camera lens is exposed)...I like them and use them, but I also require an enclosed holster for added protection in some environments. The Innocase is a two piece case which I like...but it doesn't get torqued around in my pocket like it does for some folks (some folks claim the case becomes loose and starts to squeak--and also claim debris gets in and rubs the finish of the edges of their Evo). Mine has held up well, but I treat it with kid gloves and the phone never goes in my pocket.

i just got the Rearth Ringke case and i like it. granted, i haven't tried any other case, but it's much nicer than the crappy case my wife has on her evo from best buy. it's a nice tight fit and the buttons are very easy to push. it's thin and light and adds little to no extra bulk. my wife was jealous and wants one now too!

Trident Kraken now out!

The kraken series for the TB is shipping now in red and pink!
http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/HTC-ThunderBolt/

I've never seen one of those cases, they look pretty sweet!!!!

Says in the description that it comes with a belt-clip/holster, guess I'll order the green when it comes in stock, if they don't add much bulk over the Seidio Active I'm using now..

I just received the Trident Aegis case, in black, for my TB and can tell you this is one very high quality case. I had an Otterbox Commuter for my DINC and it was kinda cheesy for the price. The Aegis is what I'd consider the equivalent of the OB Commuter, but much higher quality. If anyone is sitting on the fence deciding between the Otterbox Defender and this newly released Kraken, I'd lean towards the Kraken.

I'd like to get the Aegis case - anyone know of any coupon codes?

What an awesome looking case! Great find I like that it has the dust covers over the mic and cam. And here I was all set to buy an Otterbox Defender case tomorrow lol.
The Seidio Defense case they sell at Best Buy under the name PT is pretty solid as well, it has a rubber covering over the cam that you just flip around when you need to use it, but I had to pass on it since it has no built in screen protector. I enjoy having a completely wrapped phone.
After perusing the Aegis cases, I gotta say I love the color/pattern scheme of it, but I would prefer the protection the Kraken offers, though I'm not as big on the Kraken look. Such a tough choice!

I have an Aegis on my Nook Color, and it does attract lint on the rubber bits. Wouldn't be a huge deal for me as I don't put mine in my pocket normally (I use the belt clip on my phone pretty much all the time).
Anybody who ordered the Aegis for the TB, did it have a clip included, or is it just the case only?

Aegis series is just the case... I use it with the Seidio Active Holster I bought...

How do the Kraken series cases compare with the Otterbox Defender? Was holding out for the Otter, but now these have intrigued me.

So the Aegis fits the Seidio Active holster without any issues? I've got one of those already (and a Seidio/Patriot case/holster, and a Case-Mate-Barely there, and a... I see a pattern here, Case addiction is a bad thing, lol).

I just recieved my Aegis case. It's a good case. I'm coming from an HTC Eris with Otterbox dual layer case. This case isn't dual layer, but it's dual sided, and seems tougher around the corners where contact is most likely to be made. It looks good, feels good in the hand. It does add bulk and will set you back $20-30. The heft of this device with the case is closing on half a pound!

Can you post some pics

It does perfect! I use the Aegis case and Seidio Active Holster.

Good Mytouch 4G case

So currently I have a cheap case I bought on ebay and it's messing up my invisibleshield on the sides. Whenever I grip the sides it pushes up against the shield and dust gets in there.
I'm considering buying a new case but I'm not sure what one to get so it won't mess up the shield. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking the tpu case but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Hands down the best cases you can get for your phone at the TPU fusion cases. All TPU cases are great, but the TPU fusion just has a slightly higher level of detail.
There is a thread in this section about the TPU fusion cases that also has an online coupon code for like 10% off their already really cheap price.
I would link but I'm feeling lazy today. Happy hunting

I agree! Best case I've used so far (and I've used silicone, tpu, trident cyclops, and the aegis). Thing rocks and really does protect

Used to have more colors but now only have black, clear and red.
Act quick!

I originally bought the black gel skin from T-Mobile when I bought my phone. It was a lint magnet, though, and it added a significant amount of bulk to the phone. So I ended up buying a translucent smoke colored TPU case, OEM HTC variety, from Amazon. It's nice, feels good, looks good, has cutouts for all the buttons (so they aren't hard to press like some TPU cases) and doesn't add a huge amount of bulk to the phone, while also making it easier to hold onto.

I have used the Otterbox Commuter and the TPU Fusion case. I switch between the two. Plus they both protect the phone well and fit inside of my Seidio holster.

Is the Seidio holster you're using the standard one for the MT4G? Or did you have to use a larger size? I'm looking for a good case to replace the Seidio one I'm currently using, but I like the design of the Seidio holster...

As previously stated, the trident case is very good, but if your not willing to spend the money you can go for the TPU fusion. Its cheaper, and still has a modern look to it.

lol this seems like itll feel weird, especially in the pocket
the TPU Fusion case is the best ive seen..
the regular silicone cases are nice too but the rubber is so grip-y that its hard to pull the phone out of the pocket lol

The trident case looks great I'm going to order it.

my sister has the TPU case and i think im going to pick one up they look great and feel good in the hands.

I bought this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K575E0/ref=oh_o02_s00_i01_details
It's not so much a case IMO but more of a glove. The phone remains extremely slim still and its pretty stiff.

Try the Otterbox Commuter case. It's fairly cheap for a otterbox, and it looks like it'd be a good case that would work well with invisishield,

Alternative Otterbox Suggestions

I have had the Otterbox defender on since day one. And it protects great. Today i took it off to swap my battery and remembered how great this phone looks without it. But I'm not one to go unprotected.
I'm looking for suggestions on other cases. Something that protects but necessarily the bulk of the Otterbox. I work a office job so rugged case isn't too necessary.
Must be compatible with the extended battery.
I was looking at the SGP Neo hybrid cases but they say coming soon on the website.
Please share your suggestions. Thanks guys.

Hey, i have the commuter case on for a few days now and i love it. It adds just enough bulk and size to the phone to make is sit and feel perfect in my hand. But everyones hands are different so not all will think its great. I did however order the Neo Hybrid case in Reventon yellow and should have it tomorrow or saturday and ill let you know how it is and feels along with some pics, and possibly a small review.
But so far i LOVE the commuter case. should take a look at it. i wrote up a review but i have to do a few more posts before xda lets me post it lol

I have the Otterbox Defender as well and am surprised at how much I like it... Typically like nothing on my phones but gotta have protection on this beauty...
Just got an Incipio Silicrylic in the mail to try... Definitely less bulk than the Otterbox... You can actually see some of the sexy lines of the Nexus with this case.... The Incipio provides some protection, as it does have at least some hard plastic to it, but not anything close to the Otterbox.. Not sure that my GNex would survive a fall on a hard surface in the Incipio....
Problem with the Incipio is that it will not fit in the Otterbox holster or the Verizon holster that I already have, so probably will go back to the OB Defender...
Anybody interested in making me an offer on a brand new Incipio or Verizon Case & Holder I will listen....

One reason for my Otterbox purchase was the holster. But i have never used it. It's too big to have clipped on my side.
I know no case will protect like the defender but im good with my phones to get a scaled down case. I thought about the commuter but not sure how much size difference there is.
What price you looking at for your incipio?

I watched a review and it said with the extended battery the plastic outer shell just fit tightly against the silicone as it does at the top. Did you notice this?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Fit tight w/extended battery in, but not a problem in my opinion... I would bet it might even loosen up a bit over time...
I like the Incipio's look and feel... Much smaller size than OB, but have to have a holster to carry my GNex..

It doesn't have quite the amount of protection (ie not waterproof) like the defender but soon Ballistic will release their case for the Galaxy Nexus. I have a Galaxy Nexus on the way and will be giving my Nexus S to my wife. My wife is like a phone's worst nightmare. She seems to always be dropping them and my two kids are both under 3 and the oldest loves to snatch our phones. I got the Ballistic case for the Nexus S for her and after putting it on yesterday I'm a believer. I already have it covered completely by Ghost Armor skin, and with the Ballistic case it's just very well protected. The bumpers on the corners are amazing and so is the fit and finish. Makes the phone pretty bulky (not as much as the defender) but it makes the phone much nicer to hold and type on. I would recommend it for the Galaxy Nexus. I have a TPU case on order but will pick up the Galaxy Nexus version Ballistic case too once it is released.

Do you have any quick impressions/pics of the Neo Hybrid? It'll be interesting to see how well it fits the LTE GNex since it was designed for the GSM non-extended battery GNex.

I have the Incipio Silicrylic (aka Double Cover, VZW repackaged). It's a nice case and it fits well on the phone. It doesn't add too much bulk. I like that the hard cover goes around the corners, unlike the Otterbox Commuter. Cutouts for the phone are nice. No need to mess around with clumsy flaps. And the buttons work well under the silicone cover. Great case for less. I got mine at the Verizon store for $20 +tax after a discount. I don't use a holster, but I am looking into getting an XO Skin.
Another alternative that I was initially looking at was the Seidio Surface Combo. It's a hard soft-touch case with a holster, if you need the holster. They also sell it without.

Galaxy S3 Lifeproof

So, I have my lifeproof nuud case, and it works great. I'm happy with it overall, except for one tiny detail. For some reason Lifeproof doesn't make a belt clip, and when I contacted them they said they have no plans for any accessories for the Galaxy phones. Does anybody have any suggestions on holsters or alternatives? It's insanely frustrating.

Try one of the seidio holsters. Either the convert or the seidio obex holster. Don't know what size is the lifeproof

Given the otterbox armor series is larger then lifeproof idk if this will work. But i bought a cheap Note2 fake leather belt pouch, and it fits loke a glove.

I personally use the the holster for the Seidio Obex, which is just about the right size. The Obex is only a little taller and thicker than the lifeproof, so you only need to pad out the bottom a little.
I also tried the convert plus holster, but it's too narrow to fit the lifeproof.
Been trying to find a good material for the padding though. Foam tape and such just tend to get crushed down after a couple weeks.

Good to hear! How secure is the fit, out of curiosity? Heading into the field for work soon, I like the fact that my lifeproof is waterproof, but have been debating using my Defender just because of how secure it is.

Without the padding is not very secure, but with it is very good.
Personally, I wouldn't call the defender holster very secure. It holds great under normal conditions, but with my incredible s, I broke 3 of those holsters thanks to the dumb flexing-hard-plastic clip design holding the phone in place and the s3 version appears to have the same design unless they've switched to a different plastic formula.

BTW the obex holster has Locking Mechanism, so it wont go anywhere! Ive have the obex clip on the fake lifeproof case of my gs3 and the fit is great. Once locked its not going anywhere. But i do know that the real LP and fake LP are different dimensions thats why i said i wasnt sure.

Good to hear, I'm guessing foam tape is the current best thing for padding, anybody have other suggestions?

The foam tape I tried needed to be replaced every 2 weeks or so.
My latest attempt is filling in the bottom of the holster with some polyurethane construction adhesive I had laying around.
Didn't quite get the thickness right on the first try. I'll add in some more when I have a couple days when I don't need it, as the stuff takes semi-forever to fully set.

Ah it's a canvas type similar to the leather ones. I actually bought it in downtown Los Angeles at a small no name shop. Brand Name is Reiko if that helps.
