Video Review: Otterbox Commuter for HTC One X

Hey guys,
I got my hands on the Commuter series case from Otterbox, for the One X. I'm sure most of you have seen or own a variant of this case. It is a very popular style, composed of two parts, a plastic shell that wraps around a TPU membrane. This model fits particularly well, but not too tight, which I love. It offers fantastic protection, although it is a bit pricey.
Check out the full review below:

Great review! Hope Trident, Seidio and Ballistics would send u their case for review...

No prob, good enough you doing reviews for HOX, hopefully HTC kind enough to give you a free HOX for review purposes
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

bought one for my HOX+ but the top part didn't fit well. it seems it was not "clipping"the upper half properly.

Case-Mate Cases

Just letting you guys know that amazon is selling Genuine CaseMate cases for half the price of the case mate site
See for yourslef
tinyurl. com/8le7stu
I recommend the Tough case for its ruggedness and durability, i bought one for my vibrant two years ago and its still going strong, that said it adds
alot of bulk.
if you want to maintain the sleekness of the GS3 get the barely there cases, i prefer the black aluminum one.
Hope this could help anyone :good:

Better than ebay prices also, at least on the POP case.

Amzer cases anyone

So I have found what look to be good looking two piece cases on on Amzer.com. Problem is I don't know how good they actually are. They are cheap in price though.
I was looking at http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Hybrid-Snap-On-Silicone-Case-Black-Blue-P94363.htm
and also http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Silicone-Perforated-PolyCarbonate-Hybrid-Case-Black-Black-P94345.htm
Does anyone have any information on if Amzer makes a good case or how they hold up. I'd love to get a ballistic case but don't have that kind of money LOL (Who does now right?).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
AJ

Amzer are okay, but most of them you can buy from ebay at a cheaper price since they are basically rebranded China stuff.
I bought one similar to the second case you posted. Only difference is this one has a kickstand. Bought it for $4.

Barely There Case from Case-Mate (Review)

Recently reviewed the Barely There case for the HTC One X by Case-Mate and I'm genuinely thrilled with this case.
Feels like the device itself, slightly grippy (just enough to make you feel comfortable) and LOOKS STUNNING!!
Theres White/Black AND PINK Versions, I had the Black
The Black one is Currently at £3.89!!!
Other Colors are £11.99

Hi Mate !
Glad you like the review, a couple of weeks in and I'm genuinly loving it, probably the best case I've ever owned.
I've had around 7 cases, 4 of which were the same ones (just replaced it for a newer one) and couldn't find one that I liked as much, until now !!
This case is AWESOME.

Leather Sleeve / Pouch Options?

So I've emailed SENA Cases about their wonderful line of leather products for smartphones & Spigen about their "Crumena" case series -- both of which expressed slightly less than interested responses.
Here's the response I received from SENA :
Thank you for your interest in Sena Cases.
Unfortunately, we currently do not have plans to make that specific case for this device. However, that may change in the future if we receive a high volume of requests. With your consent, we will keep your contact information on file and notify you if and when such a case becomes available.
Sena Cases appreciates your business and apologizes for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Randi Weden

And the response I received from Spigen :
Thank you so much for contacting us and we appreciate your patience.
I’ll be more than happy to assist you with your question.
We have actually discontinued most of our leather products, but we are always looking for our customers for greater insight and demands!
Thank you so much for reaching out to us to express your interest in our Crumena case, we will definitely take note of it and let our developers know.
If you have any comments or suggestions, you can also go on our Facebook or Twitter to voice your thoughts on new products!

That being said, it looks like neither company will be producing a product for this model in the foreseeable future, so what other options do we have? I looked for phones that had similar dimensions and it seems the GS4 when compared is almost identical, give or take a slight difference.
Nexus - 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm (5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 in)
GS4 - 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in)
There are a few cases listed on SENA's website for the GS4 - what do you guys think? Will the sleeves / pouches created for the GS4 work, or should we hold out in hope of a company creating something for the Nexus 5.
Those who prefer the leather cases and have an N5, what are your thoughts?

I just ordered this: http://www.pdair.com/index.php/smartphone-cell-phone-pda/lg/lg-google-nexus-5-d820-d821/leather-case-for-lg-google-nexus-5-d820-d821-vertical-pouch-type-belt-clip-included.html
They have three other options:
Belt clip with naked N5
No belt clip for N5 with a case
Belt clip for N5 with a case

This looks to be just what i am looking for. I wonder how snug/tight it is. I prefer cases that have a strap to hold the phone in but this one might have to do i'm having a hard time finding a case for this and i hate not having a case...

Dodo leather wallets/pouches are also not being made for Nexus 5 which is disappointing. I emailed them when I first got my nexus 5 and they stated they had no plans to make them

I use an HTC pouch designed for the One X and some of the other recent HTC phones:
http://www.htcaccessories.com.au/PO_S650.aspx
Cost me about $10 off eBay... I have been using these pouches since I had a HTC Desire. Got the above case for my Galaxy Nexus, and to my surprise it fit the Nexus 5 quite nicely (it was always a bit big on the Galaxy Nexus).
It is a tight fit, but I have an older version of the same case so I know it stretches. The width is fine, but the height is an exact fit, there's no slack at the top end so if you drop it on the exposed side, it won't be well protected.
I'll put photos if anyone is interested...

where could one get this case in canada without paying 2 much for shipping. Not willing to pay the same or more then the case for shipping...

Media Devil Artisan leather pouch - wow
I just got the Media Devil Artisan leather pouch today am I'm totally impressed with the quality for the price... It shipped rather quickly for something coming from jolly old England to Minnesota... I got the black w/black stitching. I'd probably order a second one if I could get it in natural brown leather. I guess I won't be stalking Sena's site anymore waiting for their vapor sleeve.... :laugh:

I have a Dodo Durables for a HTC One sleeve and it will work with the Nexus 5 fine but it's a somewhat tight fit. It will sometimes trigger the power button when inserting/removing the phone. I wish they offered an all leather option - the canvas gets a little floppy with use - probably not as much of an issue when you're using it with the phone it's intended for.
