Otterbox announced cases for the One.
And here are they:
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-one-cases/htc-one-cases,default,sc.html
Definitely getting one for my One when i get mine. I hope they release more colors before the launch though.
Have had good experiences from Otterbox cases since my HTC Touch HD and HD2, still going strong, and saved my immortal HD2 many times.
Haven't tried other companies yet since Otterbox hasn't failed to protect any of my devices.
Good find. :good:
I think the One is going to benefit from some protection with its slick metal body. :victory:
Sweet! If I wind up getting the HTC One, which is very likely, I will most definitely purchase a Defender case for it.
Hopefully Otterbox has fixed the problems that the Galaxy S III Defender case had for the One.

I'll probably get the commuter case for mine. I had the defender on the HTC Evo LTE and the build quality of the belt clip was terrible. The clip that held the phone in the holster kept breaking off, I had it replaced twice and each of the replacements broke. It also happened to 3 other people that I know. I wish they would be like Seido and put a hinge in the clip. I might just get a TPU case for daily use, and an otter box for situations that call for it.

I've not used a case for my phone in the past 6 months, I just make sure my pockets are clear of shrapnel so nothing gets scratched.
Although with the HTC One it does look very scratchable. Think I may have to find a minimalist one closer to the time.
good news, we want more styles
Nice. Maybe i buy the HTC ONE
Just ordered white model of One and probably going with otterbox commuter. Defender would be nice too but its too bulky for day to day use.

I'm curious to know if these and other cases will keep in mind that the infrared blaster is located in the power key?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
it is a cut out on this and all others i've seen
I'm thinking of either the CruzerLite, the double dip case, or the Defender from Otterbox.
Then there's the chance a company like Trident will make a case. I usually like their cases.
I like the Commuter case in glacier. That one looks very nice.

Looks like on the Commuter case, the power button is not covered; just a blank hole so no need to worry.
I really do like the Commuter glacier case, but I find I never drop my phone until I put a case on it.. I guess I tend to let my guard down when I falsely believe my case will protect my phone.. That is after all how I got my One X+, dropped my Inspire and watched as the screen shattered on cement. Thankfully though my otterbox case survived the ordeal perfectly fine while also protecting the back of the device...
I just got an email saying they are available now.. Haven't got my phone yet..

Here is a video of the green Otterbox Commuter Series
Wow, this case is much better than I was expecting.
...And very very big, isn't it ? Know that It's important to protect this jewell, but...we paid a lot to finally hide it...
Guys which do you prefer? Defender or commuter case for the HTC One?
I like how the defender case cover's the front portion of the device but I am having doubts about how it is made for HTC One because of the 2 big speakers(top & bottom), front camera & the sensors.
Looking good, I'll be taking the Commuter one (only because he's the lightest one ). I have this case on my SGSII and he is good.

Okay, this is definitely the best case I've ever had (Other MT4G cases I've had are: silicone, black rubberized hard case, and clear hard case). It does add some bulk, however. The material is very high quality and sturdy. There is NO creaking or anything like that. The video right above pretty much shows you everything about it, so I won't go into those details because it is much more effective to actually see it. If I can get a picture of my phone next to another MT4G without a case, I will post that. While it does add some thickness, you can't get true protection like this without a little thickness. Overall, it is a very high quality case, and I am happy with it. If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer them for you.
Does this case like to collect dust that's all I need to know before I order it

Ordered on ePay from the Oregon seller. It arrived at my doorstep here in the SE in 2 days. Nice case - the design is well thought out and most of all, IT FITS! I kept the Realook and it took a minute or two to install. Looking through their current product offering, I see holsters and I am hopeful one will follow soon for this case.

How hard is the case to take off? I was planning on charging batteries via external charger.
- Frank
I think the case is sold out for now.
Also, the case is not hard to take off at all. I did it yesterday while I was driving a manual car in traffic on the highway. Lol...
And one side note, I do notice that the outer silicone case around the edges of the phone does attract some lint after being in a linty pocket, but I love the case overall.
Just got my yellow and black one its awesome I order mines directly from the site http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/HTC-myTouch-4G/Cyclops-Series-by-Trident-Case/

too bad it doesn't come with the kickstand. I'll stick with the one i got from tmobile now. The kickstand is absolutely invaluable.
Oh hell... I just watch the video. Nice. The deal maker for me was finally finding a quality screen protector that covers the entire front side. I also like the fact that the hard case is easy to take off.
Buying this now. Amazon Prime....
Edit: Screw Amazon on this one. "Takes two to three weeks to ship" - yet they have it on Prime. Will just buy directly from the makers.
Does the screen protector effect the proximity sensor? I've had the proximity sensor lock up the phone from being able to hang up on some screen protectors.

I've had the otterbox since release. I've put up with the lint issue. If you give the silicon a couple of weeks to build up oils naturally there isn't the slightest lint issue. Love the case now.

Belt Clip Option
I have the Otter Box case and for the holster I bought the Seidio belt clip and it works just fine. Ive had it for a couple weeks now and I havent had it pop out once.
Anyone with an otterbox having trouble with the port covers staying in place? I listen to music alot and my flap over the jack constantly comes open

Just an update from the 1st post I placed. I purchased the tpu case and i really really like it. The tpu case is great and it's a bit slimmer on the phone.. it's not anything like one of those gel cases, it's really sturdy and feels great in your hand (no slipping). Only complaint is that the volume and power buttons can sometimes be hard to push. Good to have trackpad wake!

yea mines does that too, its just how it is on the case. On my OG droid otter it never popped out, but for some reason it does for the MT4G.
so how much thickness does the otterbox actually add to phone itself? is it too much or just enough?

On another note, that case looks pretty good. The blue is AWFUL... but the black looks sweet.
I just ordered one on monday. It should be here soon. I will post some pictures when I get it in.
I'd have one on the way now too if they offered a holster that works with them. I'd have to get the green, so it'd match my Nook Color Aegis case, lol.
I got one for my Evo when I had that, and it was really cheap rubber. Don't get me wrong, I love what it looks like, it just felt really cheap in-hand.
Mine just came in. Its not bad came with a screen protector but I fail at applying them.
Everything is easily accessible (the power button is easier for me to push now too lol) and protected but I really wish it had a holster .

I ordered a Cyclops series case over the weekend since I didn't want the big Kraken 2 and the idea of the Aegis' having a hard outer shell didn't appeal to me. When I get it I'll throw some pictures up for those interested, I got the red one.
P.S. First post, helpful site and let me root and flash Das Bamf GB sense 3.0 within 3 days of getting my first smartphone.
For those that have gotten it, does the rubber feel really cheap as was mentioned once in the thread? I'm liking the case too, but have kind of had it with cases that look and sound good online but received turns out looking/feeling/being low quality.
Well I actually went with kraken and love it!

Just got my case today, I really like it unfortunately the silicone ripped within 1 minute of having the case on my phone. Its just a small part, thinnest of the case but it holds the usb plug on the phone. I emailed Trident cases about it just now so we'll see how their customer service is. Will post pics shortly.
I used to have a cyclops for my evo, imo out was the best case and I had tons for my evo, otterbox, seido, etc.
And it added a really nice grip to the phone, it wasn't to bulky with lots of protection and didn't feel cheap at all..

I hate those gel/rubber cases because they make it so hard to get the phone in and out of your pocket. Just yesterday I reviewed Zagg's full body shield for the myTouch and I love it. It gave me great protection on my iPod Touch and now it's protecting my phone very well. It's not visible at all from a few feet away and it doesn't add any extra bulk to the phone. I highly recommend it.

I have gone through 2 sets of best skins ever, which are similar to zagg. I loved it too, only problem is it starts peeling up on the corners after a couple months. Ordered the credit card holding case this time around.
Forgot about this thread, I am loving this TPU fusion case! So for those of you who are considering it, I would highly recommend it. Very sleek, not bulky at all, very easy to take off, excellent grip, etc.

Both cases look pretty nifty, but I have the Otterbox Commuter case and it's simply amazing. You can find it here.
I've had the fusion for several months and it's still like new. Also no problems with being too grippy in my pocket.
I have both. I enjoy the look of the 2nd case, but the grips on the side are rough, so I don't like how it felt on my hands.
I'm currently using the first case because it's much smoother, and still gives a good grip. I don't really care for the argyle pattern.
They're both slim and gives about the same amount of protection.

Hey guys, my S3 should be here by the end of the week, woooooooooo. But I need some help deciding on a case and was wondering if people who have tried different cases or used just one and can reccomend it could chime in. Basically I want something that will protect the phone, specifically something with a lip so when screen down the screen isn't touching the surface it's on, and basic protection of the phone, I don't drop my phone often, never dropped it on concrete, I'm not very clumsy but I still want something that'll protect my very very expensive phone. The Otterbox defended and similar cases seem like overkill for me, but the clear plastic 2mm case seem like not enough protection, so I was wondering if there was a nice middle ground that wasn't too thick and bulky but would definitely protect the phone. I've got my eye on this one http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-3-ballistic-sg-maxx-series-case, any other suggestions?
Keep in mind I'm coming from a Desire Z with a thickness of 14.2 mm, the S3 feels like a piece of paper in my hand coming from that, so a little bulk doesn't bother me.

That's a nice deal for the Kraken, I like the Aegis as well, they look really nice.
I know you said the otter box is excessive but they actually have two different styles at sprint. i have the slim otter its not bulky but protects everything. I like alot due to the fact that it protects the charging port as well as the ear phone Jack. I had the s2 before and my charging port always got stuff in it like lent from my pocket or what not. The case is lined with a silicone case inside a hard shell which will stop dirt from getting inside and scratching the device as well as making it more drop resistant. It is deffinatly worth having for 30 dollars.
The otter box i have is actually smaller than the case you have posted and comes with one screen protector as well.

+1 for Otterbox Defender. Its not anywhere near as bulky as I thought it was going to be and I really like how it provides me with solid, square edges so I can prop it up on my display screen in my car dash very easily and it stays securly in place (for the most part).
