Nice reviews here

FINALLY since i broke the sprint body glove for the second time I been looking for a case and finally found a good one
Seidio HEC10FB case for the HTC EVO 4G
and Review here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPBGHgGInJI
Since you might be living the active lifestyle, I saw this two piece on amazon.
Look up the Seidio-Innocase-Active-Case-HTC on amazon. (I'm still considered a new user on these forums or I'd be able to post the link. But I'm with the Mods, I hate spamers.)
Cant really say anything about it.
But I did notice how flimsy the cover for my BodyGlove is over the +/- keys too.
I've just taken delivery of a case-mate tough case for my One X after having them previously fitted to my Desire and Sensation. They have always fitted really well, felt good and grippy and offered good protection. This one however feels cheap and non grippy and after fighting with it for five minutes I gave in trying to get it to sit right on the phone. It just plain doesn’t fit! So I’ve printed out my return postage label from Amazon and will send it back for a refund. Very disappointing but the question is, what do I replace it with? Has anyone else had a similar experience with the tough case on their One X and are there any other good alternatives out there?
Bump: It can't just be me surely?
Amazing, so it would seem that i'm the only person in the world that thinks the tough case for the One x is rubish compared to previous versions! Either Amazon are selling cheap Chinese fake's or case-mate quality has gone down the pan...
I tried the tough and also the pop yesterday. Tough case was cheap and tacky but the pop was terrible. Once on the phone it is a nightmare to remove and you risk damaging your device. Review of the pop on WWW.mobilemaduk.Co.uk

I have the same case and find it perfect to be honest…. Sure its not a fake? (if they even exist)
Got mine from a hight street store though, Amazon marketplace can have fakes on it.
Its snug fit, takes seconds to take off and put back on. The buttons work well and are covered well. The fit between the rubber and the hard shell is spot in, cant tell its two peices to be honest.

Thanks for the info Steve, i suspected it may have been a fake to be honest.
My previous tough cases fitted really well as you say, this one was really poor.
One question for you, both my previous ones had a date wheel molded in to the silicone and the outer shell, this one didn't. Does yours?
There are a few threads and reviews about casemate tough in the accessories section.
You might want to have a look there.

No date wheel on either… but has CaseMate on the inside of the silicone (bit that touches the phone)

Got a casemate from carphone warehouse when I bought my one x. It was a struggle to fit without breaking the device through pressure. Once it was on I found the buttons almost unusable, they didn't seem to line up correctly with the actual phone buttons. Eventually took it off which also nearly broke my device. Worst. Case. Ever.
Best case I've ever had was an otterbox for my desire hd
TL;DR: Otterbox>Casemate
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Thanks for the replies guys, I’d like to try the otterbox but they aren’t available yet in the UK.
Hopefully won't be long.
Just to say, I've got the aforementioned case - it seems to fit my One X cleanly enough.
Mine came from Carphone Warehouse though, not online.
Have you considerd buying the Ballistic SG case? im using it and it just PERFECT. fits my global one x perfectly and its really easy to remove it from your pocket (i had casemate before and it was just terrible).
i bought the at&t version and it fits well to my global one!
I bought my tough case from carphone warehouse to, and it doesn't feel like a normal tough case! The silicone is cheap plus the case feels slippery not the usual high quality I expect from casemate! I had the tough case on my desire and desire hd and galaxy s2 so I know how it should feel!
I have noticed there seems to be 2 different tough cases for the hox, if you look on you tube casemate has a video of it which is the case I have (square cut out for headphone jack) but all other reviews for this case on you tube by others shows a tough case with a different headphone jack cut out and a larger cutout for the speaker on the back of the phone! On my case the writing above the speaker is not visible once the case is on but on the other case you can just see the bottom of the writing at the top of the speaker cutout! Anyone else noticed this? It would be interesting to get feedback!

Just to update you on this, I’ve been to both carphone warehouse and the O2 shop locally and looked at all the tough cases they had in for the One X. None of them had any date stamping and none of them felt as good as my previous tough cases. Then i had a look at a tough case for a SGS3 and it was both date stamped and of nice quality as i would expect. So what's going on here, have CM deliberately made the One X case less good or are they all fakes?
I’ve just been looking at the Ballistic SG case now and that looks like it might be my next case, on Amazon though there’s a 1 to 3 month delivery time!

You could assist me better on this open forum for the benefit of all potential customers. Can you please confirm whether or not all your tough cases should have a date stamp moulded in to them? After further investigation I now have three friends who have a tough case fitted to their Sensations and they all came from Amazon and none of them have the date stamp that mine does. They all feel of inferior quality to mine as did my recent One X purchase.
Has your quality gone down hill or might they be fakes?
I and others await your reply with baited breath...
One week after emailing support as suggested by CaseMate and including a link to this thread, no reply...
Great customer service, i don't think.
Finally. An amazing TPU case without the cheesy back design.

The quality of the plastic is superior. Once I bought one for my Galaxy Nexus I've got one for every phone since then. They are the best TPU brand for phones.
You won't regret it. It's cheap too!
My SII Skyrocket Diztronic case ended up being my favorite of the various cases I tried.
Not at all flashy. Nothing special about it.
It just "works" properly. And doesn't get beat up like cheaper cases do.
And I like that they are finally doing cutouts for BOTH the volume & power unlike on my last case.
I hate anything covering the power or volume buttons. Though some folks do like that.
I've used these cases for 2 years on Captivate, Infuse, Galaxy Nexus and Note. They're grippy, durable and fit perfectly. I just ordered one for my S3. Thanks for the heads-up.
I already have Rock Case, 4 Cruzerlite TPU cases... and a Leather pouch... Do I need/want one more....?
I have a Cruzelite...definitely sub par to the Diztronic cases I've had in the past and I'm sure it will be the same with the new one I have on the way.

cruzerlite is garbage. i sent it in for a refund. the cut outs dont even line up with the ports correctly lol
Sorry for the delay in getting our S III cases up guys, I was out of town and had an employee put them up. Unfortunately she accidentally set the start selling date as July 6th so the pages never went live. I said didn't you realize we weren't getting any orders?! We sent inventory to Amazon on Friday so Prime shipping options should be available either Tuesday or Wednesday.
We did include a screen protector with this release made of Japanese film. When we first started including screen protectors we were using a Korean film, which is slightly better than Chinese but still had some rainbowing and purpling. These Japanese based ones are great, very good clarity. Even though including them almost doubles our costs we've kept our prices the same for the time being. Thanks everyone for your continued support!

The company resides and manufactures in America (Madison, WI, near me!!). The customer service is absolutely OUTSTANDING. You basically end up talking to a real person who is dead set on making sure you're satisfied.
And TPU, in general, is perfect for me. Thin, adds a little grip but doesn't stick in pockets.

cldn't agree more, they are indeed bad. Just ordered Diztronic for my S III . Loved it on my Nexus , was waiting for a week for it to be available in the meanwhile i thought i would try cruzerlite . Apart from the fit, i dint like the looks of it too, esp that i wanted something with a plain back matte finish . Diztronic was the perfect fit . Love it Love it!!!
Actually they are in Madison, but my EVO 4G LTE Diz TPU's specifically stated Manufactured in China.
I put them in a bowl of water and they don't sink so I'd guess they aren't full of lead.
The water did turn green and looked like antifreeze though (just kidding!)

We are in Madison, WI but unfortunately we have our cases made in China for the time being. I'm looking at potentially having them made in Akron, OH but it's not set in stone at this point. If anyone has any contacts with US based factories that can manufacturer TPU cases feel free to contact me. For now we are using the same lingo everyone else uses, "Designed in ___ Manufactured in China". Our screen protectors however are manufactured in Japan. Some of you should be receiving your GS III cases today, I know at least one XDA member received theirs on Saturday as they were in Wisconsin. I'm looking forward to seeing some feedback as my GS III from Sprint hasn't arrived yet!

It doesn't have a cutout for the camera, as in my opinion I'd rather have it covered so it's protected. If someone can show me an example of diminished picture quality because of it I may be swayed to make a cutout for it in the future. As far as going all the way to the edge of the glass, from what I understand it's not possible to do so on the GS III because of the way the glass tapers on the edges, so we made the screen protector in the same way as our One X screen protector. It essentially covers the flat part of the glass. You could probably go all the way to the edge with a wet adhesive based screen protector, but with a static type screen protector they would just peel up.

Double Dip Flip Case Review
A lot of people overlooked the fact that the cover does come down over time. If you don't wanna wait you can just put the phone face down overnight.
Double Dip Hard Shell Review
Nice case but you could easily scratch your phone taking the One in and out of the case.
I'll be picking up an HTC One once it hits the USA so I'll do another more indepth review once I get it. Importing is just way too expensive...
I got the flip case free with my phone. It seems like the cover joints just needs a bit of loosening over time. Mine closes almost instantly now.
That being said I don't feel like it offers the best possible protection. Got my eyes open for a better case.
Thanks for the review ... :good:
suppose i´ll pick one up ...
THX :good:
The flip case looks great and the cover does come down over time, mine happened in about 2 days. The only problem i have with the case is that it doesnt offer full protection and during calls i have to occasiaonnly take the phone out of the case as the Mic hole doesn't line up with the phones Mic hole 100% :l
WARNING
I dropped my phone that was housed in the double dip case, the flap came open and landed face down resulting to scratches and dents to the speaker housing, gutted
I have both the hard shell case and the double dip case. I think they are both good cases, the double dip flip case doesn't really protect the full phone but is good for its stand. The hard shell case is a bit bulky and the colours are crap (why not one solid colour?) but it really gives complete protection... Other than the screen, which is ok because I think the lip is big enough to protect it from a drop...
I've ordered the flip case with the HTC free offer, but I feel like I won't be using it for long. I'll be looking for a better case while using the flip case as a temporary solution. I guess it would be very useful in the plane.
You should try reviewing accessories with a REAL phone next time...

Thanks for backing me up bro. Also, to the OP: I'm going to be picking one up from VZW if it comes out. If not, I'll maybe use a TMo Prepaid plan with it.
I had the Flip case, but I got a refund on it as i didn't feel it protected the phone without being a hindrance. Also, nobody could hear me due to the microphone not lining up all the time. As it cost me £25 I felt it was not justified. I am going today to purchase the normal double dip case to try (non flip).
Wish me luck!

So is the consensus to keep this thing a safe distance from the phone at all times? I'm glad mine won't be costing me anything. I guess I should thank HTC, sort of?
This clearly not for drop protection, its too think in the back and little protection in the front. Not sure if that case is for me.

You may just wanna pick up a generic TPU or maybe something nicer from Diztronic or Cruzerlite. The i-Blason cases look high quality compared to their previous cases, but I'm not sure.
Why they didn't felt line thus case its beyond me. It slides onto an aluminum phone... Hard plastic... GREAT IDEA

Did anybody order the double dip hard shell from amazon. I seen a couple sellers from the uk it says it'll be shipped 18-26 days but when i put it in my cart it says i should receive it april 15. I just dont want to order it and dont get it until after the phone comes out. I also noticed a couple sellers from ny on amazon but i wasnt sure if the case was official or not. I dont see why it wouldnt be official tho since the case just came out.

[Review] "Skinnova" skin for Nexus5 made by Gadgetshieldz "Pictures uploaded"
After spending several hours on internet in search of skin for my Nexus 5 I found Skinnova skins made by gadgetshieldz.
Yes I know dbrand, slick wraps and cruzerlite also makes skins for several phones including N5 but they cost too much and as I live in India I was unable to find them on any e-commerce site, I also thought of buying them from there respective official sites but dbrand offers tracked shipping for 25$ and another method was risky plus I don't have patience to wait for 2-4 weeks.
Coming to the point I bought this skin which is Tamo wood for ₹ 699 and it arrived on next business day the shipping was very fast as I don't live in a metro city. After opening the box which contained skin, I touched the surface of the skin and it felt like a real wood. I don't know about dbrand or slickwraps whether they provide specifically cut screen protector with skin or not but skinnova provides screen shield too of course it is wet application screen shield as gadgetshieldz only make wet type screen protectors but you will also get the applying solution, a squeeze card and a micro fibre cloth.
The skin look gorgeous as I already got many compliments today and at first glance some of friends asked is it real wood??
I am uploading pictures of the product and my skinovated phone.

What kinda purpose bro?? It's out of my curiosity.
Earlier I have ordered from Slickwraps , which never arrived to me in 6 months time. Then I got one from Ebay at @ Rate of Rs.2499 and applied it to my white nexus. Then I again ordered one from Dbrand for my Black nexus. Which also took me 1.5 Month to arrive in India.
Now I have bought a Red Nexus 5 again to which I was finding skins within ebay and other Indian websites, where they were unavailable.
But your post gave me the exact place to buy one. I spent 4-5 days trying to find one skin within India. Your OP is the exact situation I was going through for the last one week.
Thanks a Ton.

Love this skin for Nexus5
Bought sandstone red skin from Gadget shieldz( https://www.gadgetshieldz.in )for my Nexus 5 & I'm lovin' it! Love the color, love the texture & most of all love to hold the phone as gives an extra grip while holding. Believe me that's an extra plus point as the phone slips from my hands whenever they get dry in AC. There were sticker for front and sides, I didn't use them though.
Pros: 1) Nicely design with cut out for Nexus logo on back.
2) Nice texture and gives a good feel
3) Adhesive is very strong and not messy so keep the skin at place.
4) Package comes with detail instructions and front skin guard along with back and side skins.
Cons: 1) Size is little bit smaller though it's not visible normally.
2) Adhesive is very strong so faulty application will give hard time for re-positioning.
Suggestion for the designers : Please put two adhesive protectors behind meeting at the middle so that they can be pulled from both sides making proper positioning easier.
Overall I love it!

1.You could mention what device are you using
2.Why not create a simple thread in your device forum?? It wont hurt anyone
3.You are writing in Nexus 5 thread, not mentioned that you have a motorola device, so "We are just talking about the skins" isn't in right place. I believe there's a section about accesories in xda forums.
