Anyone know if there are any available cases? I think I'd really need one
I was going to grab an invisible shield myself, I've had cases for phones before but I find the HTC Aria is definitely pocket size.
got one
i got a soft gel case from att today when i picked up the phone, however there were no screen protectors available at the store... pity she has such a nice screen...
I grabbed a set of generic screen protectors from the Rat Shack today. I used a hole punch to make a hole for the optical trackpad, and then carefully trimmed the sheet to size. The standard single hole punch is exactly the right size for the trackpad.

any idea of the brand on that gel case. there wasn't any at my store
amzer has a bunch of cases being released 7/13 according to their site
I didn't pickup a case from the AT&T for the outrages price they want for it. In fact, I don't think this phone needs a case since the back is virtually indestructible. However, I need a screen cover fast.
The gel case is decent, but I'm not sure it need it since the only part of the phone it covers is the soft touch part. The AT&T stores got screen protectors, but the package doesn't say Aria on it. It says HTC (model# I can't remember). The only carried protectors for the Fuze, Tilt 2 and the Pure so the other HTC one should be it. It's a 3 pack for $9.99.
The AT&T store I went to had cases and protectors. Case was expensive and didn't look necessary, the back cover feels very solid.
The Screen protectors are labeled as "Compatible with HTC A6366," product code 888063373688
i like the gel type cases(as long as they aren't too thick) for some shock absorption
case and screen protection
ok so it was a branded att case, no specific maker of the case, i did some research and it seems the Aria is basically a droided HD mini with a trackpad, so the measurements are the same as the mini, Zagg makes a full kit with screen and back protection, use a hole punch for the track pad and all is well, i will be getting my kit within a week or so i will keep you guys updated...

I almost forgot it's pretty much the same casing as the HD MINI! I just ordered a nice cheapie case on ebay! lol
I'd post the link, but I'm not allowed to yet as a new user =P
wish HTC or other company make some nice case for it.
ok so i have to retract part of my previous statement, the case is actually made by htc, i didn't notice the imprint at the bottom, so HTC does make a case for it, probably the same as the mini's.

I did exactly the same thing 3 days ago.
To make it easier i placed the screen protector on the phone so it overhung the entire thing, then flipped it over and trimmed the excess off with a razor blade. Finished it off by cutting out the protector that was covering the speaker.
PDAir has some decent looking cases for the HD Mini that I think would work GREAT for the Aria:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000908
I'm especially a fan of THIS one:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000908&products_id=28681
Of course, if you're not a cheap bastard like me, and prefer rich, European styling, THESE are some incredibly sweet cases:

EDIT: Oh. I also found this cheapie, which strikes me as somewhat similar to the PDAir case I highlighted above:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/flip-case-with-belt-clip-for-htc-hd-mini-htc-photon-p-2672.html
I think this is the case I'll probably be getting, but my IDEAL case would be a rubberized/silicone/plastic, form-fitting shell, with a detachable belt clip on the back. I know the shell cases are a dime-a-dozen, but I have yet to find one with a belt clip. Anyone know of any?

Thanks for the info on that, but my back cover (the top left corner) is loose for some reason, so I'm afraid it'll come off soon. I also realized that the back is the antenna for the phone (two pins in the case that connect to the phone, and no signal when back is off). So, I think I'll get a screen protector and a cheap gel case. Thanks all.
Hi there! This is a fun thread. Don't have to think TOO hard!
If anyone has actually bought and is delighted with a case please let me know!
I am really looking for a black rubberized (non-skip) case that goes all the way around the back, up the sides.
I wish there was like silicon case, but actually out of thicker, less flexy rubber.
Kit is up on Zagg's site.
Just ordered one. May opt for a gel case for the back end instead of the full kit...when they're available. All I'm seeing are "Available 7/27" or "Ships in 1-3 months" or something every time I try to order an actual case. I guess I'm stuck waiting?
according to the amzer site http://www.amzer.com/HTC/HTC-Aria-accessories.htm the jelly silicone cases are available now. i wonder if they show the screws like the argyle ones do.
Hi Guys. Just got a T989. Do you know any good strong cases and screen protectors?
I have been looking around in stores but they do not carry many T989 cases.
Thanks
Goto amazon and type T989 and you will see plenty. Im a total geek and buy devices all year(addict). Get a xtreme gaurd screen better than zagg and cheap. Use the black fishbone case or the D30 case

That is a thread with a good case and screen protectors. The case is a Cimo S-Line TPU Case. It is around 5 dollars on Amazon, even though it is a great case. I also ordered a 5-pack of screen protectors for a $1.50 and they have been working very well.

Screen Protectors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006EC5X6O/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 When i purchased them, they were from a different seller. The price went down to $0.95. It is a steal in my opinion.
Case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006K6PGSY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 The case has been very good so far. Check out the thread for an unboxing, pictures, and the thread will soon also be updated with a review.
Fishbone from E-bay. Little bit expensive but everyone say WOWWWWW!!! when they see it! Lol!!!
Accessories of all kinds are dependent upon preference. How much protection do you want? How important is it that the form factor remain sleek and attractive?
I went with a Seidio Active case, as I felt it would offer best protection, and a zagg shield, because the service we've gotten locally from their kiosks has been great.

Is the screen protector you listed here a matte screen protector? It says anti-glare, but doesn't say that it is matte. Thanks!

I just got grabbed a D3O case with T-Mobile screen protectors off eBay. The package is only 12.99, supposed to be all authentic. I've used D3O on other phones, they have really nice cases. I've never used a T-Mobile brand screen protector, but I can't imagine it'd be too bad.
Edit: they also have different colors if you don't like the black.
Here's a link to the case on eBay
im having trouble uploading a picture, and still dont have enough posts to put links but i am actually using this case that can be found on amazon by putting in
ATC For Samsung Galaxy S2 II T-Mobile T989 Android OS Hercules 4G Black&Blue Silicone / Rubber Case
there are many variants on amazon. people selling it under diff names. but i like the added protection on the corners where a phone mostly hits when falling. the protection it offers on the back, and the lip is thick enough that if it falls screen should touch the floor on a flat surface. i have not had issues with the screen protector peeling from the corners either. i like that the blue snap cover holds the silicone in place so it doesnt slide off when in my pockets

Just got these today and I have to say, if I had the choice to do it over, I wouldn't buy them. I've always used D3O cases and they always seem like they are good quality, but this flex case, I personally think feels a bit cheapy. I don't know what it is about it, but I'm not a fan. I also usually use Zagg screen protectors, but I decided this time I'd try something else because I don't really like the rubbery feel of the Zagg protectors. BUT the best thing about the Zagg protectors is that they stretch which makes fitting them on with a case much easier in my opinion, also the wet application makes putting the protector on much easier since you can slide it around. This protector was a pain to get on, plus the fact that every time you FINALLY get it right, dust has decided to settle on the screen so you have to wipe it off or blow it off and by then I've moved the protector by a mm so it goes off to the side now.
So I'm probably just going to stick with what I have for now, but eventually I'm sure I'm going to go with a different case and a different screen protector. The dual shock D3O cases are probably much better quality than these flex cases.
Edit: I did buy it off eBay, so I know there's always the possibility that the case is a fake, but everything looks pretty legit to me. I'm going to head to a T-Mobile store today or tomorrow and check out the cases in the store to double check though.
a friend bought the D30 from T-Mobile when she got her GS2. I do not like it at all the buttons are waaaay too hard to press.
I had a trident on my OG Vibrant and it was the most amazing thing ever, I could throw that phone across the room and it was fine.
+1 on the Fishbone case. Just enough protection and it still goes in and out of my pocket easily.
In my opinion the Steinheil Ultra Fine screen protectors are great. Anti fingerprint and anti glare. I have had mine on my t989 for about a year so far and it still looks great. Just my opinion, give it a try.
I personally like the screen protectors from the T-Mobile retail store. Though a little pricey but it looks amazing if applied correctly. Had mine on since last December and it still looks new.
Well here’s another leather case from Spigen. It is available in black or white and retails for $37.99. While the Galaxy S4 has both the Argos and illuzion Leather series available, the HTC One is only provided with the illuzion. There doesn’t appear to be big differences in the two series though. Watch the video for more information and general commentary.
NOTE: Since the case we have is white, it will probably get dirty. I saw someone complain how no one mentioned this. Furthermore if you have a white case in general... It will probably show any dirt more than black for example :cyclops:.

I have the black version of the case. It fits nicely onto the phone and protects it from whatever needs protection. It's a good case, but it have some minor negative "features".
After a while the hinge on top of the case gets more loose. It still holds on to the phone and protects the screen, but it leaves you with an uneasy feeling. There's also no room for the charger while the case is closed. You have to open the case to charge the phone - It's a shame really because it leaves the phone vulnerable. Also when you've been using it for a while and get fingerprints all over the screen, if you don't wipe them off before closing the case, the text on the inside of the lid will be "printed" on the screen fingerprints.
Despite this the case is brilliant. It's good looking and feels like it's of good quality. I've had it for over a month now and haven't regretted it. Expensive, but worth it - IMO.
I forgot to mention that the "Tablet of Hermes" gets imprinted on the screen. I did say that on the Argos for the Galaxy S4. Kind of funny.
Anyways the longest I used one of the cases was the Argos for the S3. It did get a little loser, and I did bend it back more to encourage it to be tighter. I guess you could do that and apply something that would stiffen it back up.
Overall not a bad product for under $40. Thanks for adding to this post.
Had a black version of this case, been using it for a while, I've to say it's the best looking flip case for one, it's durable. Except the inside part of the lid is getting dirty and the text, which I don't like. Wondering if the sgp glast screen protector will work along with this case! Any one tried that?

I didn't have one on this phone in this video. For the Argos and the Galaxy S4 it works fine. That did have a Spigen Glas screen protector.
I searched everywhere for recommendations for a case with OUT a cover. I wanted just a case that covered the back and as slim as possible and with some grip but NOT sticky. I took a chance and bought this case for my 9.7" because I'm new I can't post a link but search eBay for X-Line Shape Soft TPU Rubber Gel Case Cover For Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0"/9.7" the seller is hksanho I highly recommend it as it fits perfectly, is extremely well made (actually I'm shocked at how perfect the molding is) gives grip and is not sticky. I have a Gold Tab S2 and I bought the grey, it perfectly compliments it, further giving it the titanium look. Best of all it took only 6 days from time of order to delivery in Phoenix. I've only bought one or two things from directly from China and was extremely reticent to buy something I couldn't see or feel and not knowing if I'd ever actually get it in my lifetime LOL. Hopefully my post will help others and obviously I have no connection to the seller!
I agree
I purchased one of these cases for my Sony Z4 tablet quite a while ago; and it has been Fantastic! Super thin and fits Perfectly! I just bought one for my S2.
Thanks for finding the case. I was just trying to find out if the case was available for the Samsung - Really, I was!
Seems like the screen is the most vulnerable part. How does this kind of cover help?

After holding the tablet for a longer period of time i found the edges too hard. Based on your experiences would this cover solve this for me? Also if it would make the back of it a little less slippery that would be a bonus
yes -solves also these issues. thanxx for the tip, i ordered a black one these days. very pleased. feels like the light tablet in hands and covers perfectly my external charging pad, which allows wireless charging. very, very cool. for "expeditions" outside the house, i put the whole thing inside a book cover for protection, but at home the "minicase" is fine.

That's what tempered glass screen protectors are for, aren't they?
Also looking for the decent case with cover made by tpu or something. In germany there just a few available from which I already tried one but that one was not fitting well. Any tipps?
..this thread is about case "with out" cover ? - i bought my "x-line" at amazon.de, fittin' perfect..
So I just ordered three cases from Amazon, a Spigen, ProCase, and an off-brand one that I've never heard of before. Once they arrive I'll take a bunch of pics and post up my feedback on these to help educate anyone interested in a case or skin! Was thinking about going with one of those Dragon Skins too, look awesome, but I'll probably wait for my cases to come first!
Let's see some of those bad ass Note 8's, and the respective outer-layer for which you chose..!!
I just got this case about a week ago. I was looking for something like an otterbox but didn't want to pay so much for one. This is as good, if not better, than the otterbox. The Encased Rebel I found on Amazon for about $15 after searching and searching for the right case. It's a three piece case. The sides of the case come up higher than most cases to protect the edge glass and it doesn't affect the functionality of the edge apps at all, even with the glass screen protector I have on it. I picked up a 4-pack of cheap "case-friendly" glass screen protectors on ebay and they work fine, even when using the stylus. I really want to try the Whitestone Dome screen protector, but after seeing videos on Youtube about it and case compatibility, I don't think this case would work with it. I like that the hole for the stylus is smaller, offering better drop protecction for that corner while still allowing easy removal of the stylus. The ONLY negative I have found with the case is that the buttons were hard to press at first but after a week of use they are breaking in and getting easier. I will stick with this case. Amazon also sold an option to get a holster with it for a couple bucks more but i didn't get it.
Toast makes a great real wood cover for Note 8.
