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,
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.
Hi everyone. I got my phone around 3 months ago and I've been sporting this $2.50 case I found online. It's good, but doesn't offer the protection I need. I'm looking for a better case that isn't too expensive. So far I'm considering these...
Trident Aegis
Seidio
Ballistic Look-Alike (http://www.ebay.com/itm/13065928243...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3360wt_1185)
Otterbox Commuter if I can find one for cheap
Any recommendations? Thanks.
I had the actual ballistic case like that. It will protect it from falls but i work in construction and everyday i got home i had to take the phone out the case and clean them both bc the case gets dust inside to easy. Ive had seidios tridents ballistics and otterboxes for numerous phones. Ive pretty much come to realized the only case thats gonna offer full protection is one with a built in screen protector like a otterbox defender or ballistic hc. Others do offer good drop protection but they just let to much dust inside the phone

The actual ballistic is a little out of my range, as is the defender :/. But I've heard the trident aegis is good at resisting dust.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
The Trident Aegis is a great case and offers great protection against drops and dust. You can find it on eBay for about $20 with shipping. You can't go wrong with the otterbox commuter but that's gonna cost you about $27 on eBay shipped. If cost is a big factor go with the Trident. You get more bang for your buck. Its a premium case at a great price.
I love my Trident but I ordered the otterbox commuter just because I'm an otterbox fanboy

I just got that same exact case yesterday and its a steal! Feels great while holding phone and not cheap looking at all. I remember paying 35+ for a trident ageis case on my old mt4g and that is basically what this case is.
Also ordered couple screen protectors and the case does a good job of keeping protector snug so no dust gets in. I'm very impressed and I usually hate rocking my phone anything but naked lol

Thanks everyone. I think I'm just going to buy the Aegis sometime tomorrow for like $19. Although I did find a good deal on the Ballistic (actual) on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sprint-Epic...ccessories&hash=item1e6c4a978c#ht_1749wt_1344). Is Ballistic generally preferred over Aegis?

I have a very good news for you.
You can get Seido cases for dirt cheap.
here is why.
Seido makes OEM ( store brand) cases for Bestbuy sold as platinum series.
The surface case. is best buy model call STC21SB. list as 34.99
but if you search 'STC21SB' on ebay, store liquidators are always getting rid of them under 10.
this method can be apply to any phone.. just search your phone in best buy, get the model number of Seido case, and get it on ebay.
I think last time i got one... 8.99 shipped including holster.
I'm using a thick tpu generic case I got on Amazon for 6 bucks it is amazing and looks alright to...... dropped my phone many times it saved it every time even threw it on to a tile floor as demonstration and it feels amazing in the hand cause it's textured

I have a black casemate. I liked it better than the otter boxes, easier to grip and feels more sturdy, IMO.
Looks like this one,
http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-CM0...38Q8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334131116&sr=8-1
I got the Seidio Active case a few months back and it's been through a lot of falls and it hasn't gotten a single scratch on the case or the phone. It even makes a nice solid thud when it hits the ground so I know it's absorbing the impact. I got it off of Amazon (not sure if you could get it cheaper).
Personally, I have the ballistics one I got for 17$ on Ebay and i'm satisfied.

I have the Otterbox defender. It seems to be really tough, and is convenient to use. It is very hard to remove the phone once you snap it closed, and I recommend a screen protector on the phone itself, because the one built into the Defender has some room at the bottom that can let dust in.

Trident Case makes a nice case for the One that is similar to the commuter series of the Otterbox. Also Ballistic is coming out with a few cases for the One. Their cases will compare to the defender and commuter series for the Otterbox.
Otterbox would be the way to go, have the commuter and it's slimmer than the defender but still lots of protection
I think I might get the commuter, the urban armor gear looks cool but i need a case soon and not sure when I can get one of those. thanks for the suggestions. The comuter case doesn't block the ir blaster does it?

Trident
Otterbox
Casemate
Urban Armour Gear
These, all been said, seem to be the top tier for protection. I had a Casemate on my SNS and I've dropped it plenty with no issues. But, I have a Otterbox commuter on order for my One.
Actually, I forgot a really good one. It is from Tough-As-Nuts. I had one for a phone some years ago. The leather is really strong, and the phone form-fits to the pouch. It is a bit pricy. I have not tried this for the HTC one, but it is a great design and affords excellent protection.
http://tuff-as-nuts.com/HTC-One-belt-case.aspx
I bought a casemate case today but wondering if I should get the Otterbox Commuter as well or not?
On the case of Otterbox vs Trident choose Otterbox. Trident looks sexier but Otterbox has the best/easiest warranty I have ever dealt with.
I currently have the casemate tough case and I like it a lot. Only downside I see is that the cutout for the camera is way larger than it needs to be and may the the plastic lens vulnerable.
Looking at the urban armor gear website, I really like the design. Trying to gauge how large the case is without holding it is hard though. I may pick one up when they become available.

Hi i'm looking for a case for my HTC one and can't decide on to get either the Otterbox Commuter, Urban Armor Gear, or Trident Aegis. I like all three cases but can't decide. Can you guys/girls help me out?? If you want you can also suggest some other case that are protective but still stylish.Thanks!!!
You should check out the Incipio DualPro CF case it is one of my absolute favorites.
Easy choice the UAG, with the Otterbox the rubber piece will stretch and fit loose, the Trident looks very childish, that thing look like it was made by Fisher Price. I don't own a HTC One but in July i will have a year with a Orange UAG case on a Galaxy S3, still in perfect condition :good:

Does the UAG cover the power button? It looks like it does in the pix on the website but I can't tell.
By the way, the commuter rubber will not stretch, Otterbox is a very good case. The UAG looks too damn bulky but I may check it out anyway.

It isn't bulky at all if you're comparing to the Commuter. They're pretty much the same. And yes, the power button is covered, but not completely. It is hollowed out in the middle to allow for absolutely no lost functionality to the IR sensor.
The only reason I say the Commuter's inside piece might stretch is from past experience. The one for this phone does feel much better made, though, so maybe they solved that problem.
The UAG is the only case anyone should consider getting.

Got the Trident Aegis yesterday, had one on my last phone. Works pretty well, looks better than you might think from the pictures. Plus my kid likes to toss my phone around so I'm confident the rubber bumpers can absorb a pretty good drop.
Loving otterbox commuter fits great so does rubber no probs here ! Time will tell can't complain 25$ on amazon !
