Cases update

So has anyone bought a silicon like case yet. I have been hoping someone would have put up a review for a case by now. So if you have bought a case for the aria where did u get it? And how good is it? Brand-name? Price? Etc.
Thanks in advance!

Got a case from at&t store its great in quality. already droped a few times with no issues. I think its the htc brand one. It cost like 20 bucks but its tougher and firmer than most silicon style cases ive seen. Also not as sticky as most so it slides in your pocket easier. Although its still sticky when its 92 degrees out like it was today.

The Amzer silicone one provides good protection but is bulky and does not fit snuggly on the phone. I could imagine the phone slipping out of the case to indicate how loosely it fits.

When I picked mine up from the AT&T store, they had a pretty nice soft shell case for $25. It was nice looking, fit the phone well (I almost couldn't get the thing off), and looked like it would provide decent protection. I skipped on buying it, however, since the price seemed a bit steep.

i just went to the ATT store today and they had a glossy black (maybe gunmetal) hard case for the aria, it was 25 bucks and i didnt feel like spending that much when i could get the same online for cheaper, but it did look nice.
didnt get a chance to put it on the phone though.
also, it was in a package that said soft case.

I love how this phone feels like it already has a case on it! I haven't dropped the phone (yet, thankfully) but If i did i would be too distraught. I just want to be able to buy a replacement back cover (OEM) for less than $30.

yeah, it is the case that says HTC on the back, and its the only one they have. its horrible, and very troublesome to unlock the phone.

It's a nice hard-ish version of your typical silicone case. It's actually really good and sturdy and my only gripe is that it's a pain to unlock it.. so I use No Lock, which allows you to unlock the phone with any button...the optical touchpad has become my new best friend

AS ANYONE TRIED USING A HD MINI SILCON CASE, OR DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT WILL FIT. aS WELL AS PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON. damn caps lock sorry

The Amzer silicon case purchased actually says HD Mini on its packaging. It is quite a loose-fitting case. The one from AT&T, which is more of a plastic smoke translucent case, fits very snuggly with the only downside that it's $25. It says HTC on its back and the silver HTC logo of the phone itself shows through nicely.

Don't have the case anymore, but you can fit an index finger between the case and the phone without much effort.

LockBot also allows you to use the optical to wake up.

I just bought my wife a case from pdair for the hd mini and it fits great. The have a number of good colors and its snug as a bug.
It's a very durable silicon skin. Comparable to the one from at&t but its actually easier to push the buttons with the pdair case. So its confirmed for me: hd mini cases work great for th aria.

Hum.. I'm thinking about picking one up. I wish Otterbox had a case for the Aria. I'm prone to dropping my phone, so I want something that will protect it from at least minor falls.

Seidio Active X Case

Just in case anyone is interested in this case, I just wanted to let you know it is pretty fantastic. I've had it since I've had the phone (only about 4 days currently) but it fits very securely and the bulk it adds is negligible.
I additionally got the holster for it also and seems to we working securely. Just went out clubbing Saturday night and didn't have any problems with it even while dancing and all.

Thanks for the info, been looking at both the Active X and the Innocase Surface. Still not sure which one I want and too cheap to buy both.

I dont like the lip this case leaves over the screen. i love the cases look though its awesome. I just wouldnt be able to take the lip i dont like that at all. Its deff better looking than the surface case but i think thats what im going with. I did order a TPU case off ebay for $5. Its really nice looking. Idk the policy on links on this site so i wont post but search in ebay S-line case its really nice for the money still waiting on it but i only ordered a few days ago.

I just received the blue case (had to wait a bit, they only had the black one in stock for a while) and I also LOVE it. In addition to looking great, not adding too much bulk and feeling good in the hand, it also makes the volume rocker and POWER BUTTON easier to push. My power button had become quite a pain to push, and this case does a great job of making it easier. I would definitely recommend the Active X case.

does anyone know how this case compares (bulkwise) to the vzw silicon/plastic 2 layered case? I have the vzw one and it is a bit bulky for my tastes so far and it doesnt add much grip.

would you be able to use the holster with the Verizon case (black/red)

Likely not. I haven't tried specifically with this phone, but I've tried with others and it doesn't normally work. They do have a holster / case bundle, which is what I bought, and it works really well.

the holster gets old quickly with a phone this big. the BB is about as big as i would go with a holster

Thunderbolt Gel Case

Anyone have any recommendations for some good gel casing, just got my phone about 2 weeks ago but not looking for any hard casing for the bulkiness , just a nice gel case to protect if any fall damage

I wouldn't call it gel, but I have the ringke case and it's fantastic. You can find a coupon code online and only pay $10, free shipping.

Second on the Ringke case. It's been excellent.

The silicon case they sell at the Verizon store has worked well enough for me. Make sure to get the glossy one, otherwise it will pick up pocket lint.

read reviews and im hooked with it, got the price down to 13.00 with only working coupon code i found weare2cool, got the audio jacks seeing i never use them, hopefully it was a good buy ^_^

The only problem I found with the Ringke is it covers the sensor a little bit.

Mine doesn't?

Is the ringke case just a plain silicone case or is it like the TPU material that does't gather lint? I am looking for cases but the silicone ones get stuck on things when my phone is in my pocket and pulls things out of my purse with it. Haha.

Ringke case FTMFW! I was one of the lucky ones that was sent a free one and I LOVE it. If it actually ever stretches out, Ill be buying another one and Id recommend it to anyone thats not looking for something bulky.
This is the review I wrote on it

OH! Yes, it does cover up the proximity sensor a little, but I personally cut a tiny triangle where the sensor is. It didnt ruin the "Structural Integrity" of the case so to speak, but my sensor works perfect.

I got the Ringke but to me it seems just like scratch protection witch is not bad, but i rather have protection from a drop, the glass on TB is easy to break iv fixed a few of these. I might just stick to my insideo case i have for now. But the ringke is very nice.

sorry to butt in on the thread here, but is there a gel case for the Seidio extended battery to or just the stock?

Bought one!

Hello friend,
If you want to protect your phone from any damage, then at amazon.com you can find the excellent quality of HTC thunderbolt case that will give you 100% protection from any kind of damage.

the "gel" case they sell at the verizon store for the stock TB is decent. however, if you have an extended battery, do not get the ones on amazon for $12.99 that they offer in multiple colors. i got the black one and it feels kind of loose(especially around the extended battery and the sides) + it's not cut correctly in back where the kick stand comes out and it's a bit of a pain to use the kick stand.
i'd like to find a good quality one for the extended battery... possibly even that mugen 4500 battery if i end up getting that(which i probably will eventually)

Try handhelditems.com they have cheap and good cases

[Q] Case mate pop or sgp hybrid?

Hi,
I am about to buy one of the above cases and I would like the opinions of those who have them. The plus and the minus of each of these cases.
Thank you in advance

Good post! I am picking between the two as well.. I am leaning towards the Case-Mate Pop out case because of the stand and how useful it is since I video chat with google talk often and being able to set it on the table and watch a movie or chat sounds great.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

I just bought a case mate pop. Looks good and will def provide protection but too bulky in my opinion. And i didn't get a free screen protector!!!

I'm using SGP hybrid for several weeks now, very happy with it.
One thing u should know about it is that curved headphones is problematic with it and some micro usb connectors might not fit the case (but will do fine after some shaving ).
Can't comment about the case mate.

I was actually picking between the Case-Mate TOUGH series and the POP...
I went with the POP after deciding between the two, and it was because I liked the idea that you could set it down as a stand - for me it'll save having a cradle and at night like Im used to my blackberry having a large clock and I kind of wanted that feel.
But when it gets here I can vouch for its quality. Right now, im playing the waiting game...

I also bought the case mate pop but also find it a little bulky. I passed my phone to a work mate the next day and he dropped it from a few feet and it didn't damage the phone whatsoever. So I do like it and I like the kickstand. But I am thinking of getting the Barely there case for when I want to travel lighter with less bulk. I always tend to get a handful of cases until I find something perfect

I was looking at both of these cases myself last month. I ended up buying both to try them out.
The Neo Hybrid is nice, looks good and is very form fitting. Bought in Red.
I settled on the Case Mate Pop case, in White. It has a bit more bulk. My biggest fear is to drop the phone and for it to land face down and break the display. The Pop case has more material around the edges of the phone so if it does fall face down there will be a larger gap between the display and the pavement(a mm or less, probably). The Pop case is a little harder to remove as well but I think it protects more. My .02¢.

Surely sounds like 2x10^22 Yokto Cents to me.

Just had the Case-mate Pop! delivered today (white and grey). It's very well made and looks and feels excellent (even the girlfriend said so), and although it adds a fair bit of bulk, it does seem to protect the phone quite well. All sockets/holes etc seem to have plenty of clearance so access to them and sound coming out shouldn't be an issue. Very nice case, especially since Amazon UK were doing it for ~£17 instead of the usual £25.

Case mate pop + 2000 mah battery and cover
Does anyone have both the case mate pop and samsung 2000 mah battery? I would like to know if they fit. Thank you!

i personally don't like neo hybrid. the silicone is thin and the plastic is flimsy and can be easily deformed

Bumper case

I have this phone and I just recently bought dbrand skin, but would like a bumper case with no back on it. Meaning just the outside edges only. Anyone know of where there could be one?

I'm also looking for one... subscribing. I had one on my HTC 10 that I really liked (RhinoShield CrashGuard) - but they don't seem to make them for LG phones. Looking for something similar to that. Please update if you find one!

Im trying to find one too if not i might order a really flexible cristal clear case and put it on or maybe order one of the "bumper" cases that have a tranparent back and just cut the back

looking for it as well, no result till now

I have this one and love it. Could easily be cut with a sharp razor to be a bumper case with possibly leaving the back wire frame on it. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/371888746421

I doubt the thin blue frame would be that secure without the case? I could be wrong. If anyone finds one update this thread, they can have my money in a heartbeat.

I'm not a fan of the clasp closing one's and I'd prefer a more robust silicone with a big lip but as it's all we have I may give it a go. Have you ordered one?

yep, ordered 2 differents colors

Please let us know with a few details on what they're like once you've received them, Monkeydrufy.

I've had that type of case on my honor 8 (the last one posted in silver and black).
It was terrible. Not a real bumper, and it's so deep I could hardly get my finger in the hole to unlock it.
Maybe this version will be better, I'm not sure, I haven't used it, but I certainly would not recommend it.

I would love to see a RhinoShield bumper even on G6, sadly they only make them for galaxy and iphone..
