Cases for Nitro HD and Optimus LTE

Hey Crew,
So while I'm waiting for my Nitro to turn up, I found a couple of good cases on eBay.
Not a whole lot of choice at the moment, however you can pick up a good-quality TPU in a lot of different colours from this eBay seller (EDIT: These cases have a corner cut-out for the DTV antenna on the Korean Optimus LTE). They're marked for Optimus LTE on the back, but the finish is good and the actualy feel and presentation is excellent. I went for the 'glitter white' and it looks pretty nice!
If you like brand-name stuff, the only thing I could find was a Speck CandyShell from this seller. I went for the white back, black front version. Yet to receive this one.
Post here if you had any more awesome case finds!

Is there really a hole in the upper corner of the case? Besides that, the cases look nice, but I'm not sure why there's a corner missing in the case, as there's no port of any kind at that spot. Does your case also have that exposed corner? Thanks!

I'm getting the Go Ballistic Hard Core. Might not be brand name (maybe it is?) but I'm sure it will do the job. I doubt Otterbox will make something and this looks like the next best thing.

There is. This case was built for the Korean Optimus LTE, which has a TV tuner extenable antenna in that position.

Ballistic is definitely brand-name, and they are awesome. I had one on my Infuse and it was great. They do add an awful lot of bulk and weight, but their protection is unmatched, even by OtterBox.
Nice find!

I bought the body glove case at an at&t store. Fells good n doesn't add any bulk.

AT&T is having a 35% off promotion on cases, so I bought the body glove

I bought like 4 different cases for my Nexus One, after a while (about 5 months) I just didn't like anything and carried it NAKED! Ahhhh, it's good to be free!
I have to admit though, that Ballistic HC case makes the Nitro look MEAN! Like not only am I NOT afraid to drop my phone...But if you mess with me, I'll use it as a projectile to HURT you!
I think I'll look for just a nice neoprene sleeve for my Nitro until I'm comfy enough to carry it NAKED too!

SGP Ultra capsule is available now... ordered a white one.

Man you guys are spoilt with cases. In Australia, we never get SGPs or Specks or Ballistics etc. The fanciest we get is a bloody OtterBox!
I love the SGP for the SGS2, so will definitely grab one for the Nitro.
Sent from my Dell Streak 5 using XDA Premium

When someone gets the SGP ultra capsule, could you let me know if the corner of the phone is really exposed like it shows in the pictures on amazon? I think it's open for the Chinese model which had a tv antenna, but there's no reason for it to be open for the p930, and I KNOW if that corner's out, that's the corner that's going to hit the ground after I drop it on day one =) I just got this black TPU one in the mail from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MPH3ZW/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
I love it. No unnecessary holes and it's a really nice, tight fit. Only comes in black (no pattern, thank god), though. If the SGP ones don't have exposed corners, I'd love to get the white one! =)

I work for ATT and got the ballistic case for free. Its huge. Ginormous.
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA App

So I got one of these phones and I've never actually had a "new" phone that just came out. About how long does it take to get some decent cases to choose from in the market?

I just noticed that the SGP cases are TPU as well

They look fantastic.

They are very good quality. I think they also sport the hole for the DTV antenna, though. I have one for a GS2 though and they're awesome cases!

Yeah, it does have the hole on the right side of the case to support the dtv antenna.
Anybody knows where to get a Speck case for this phone? ATT sells a pink one, but yeaahhh...I'm not gonna test my manliness with a pink case.
I'm also surprised that Incipio is not in on this phone like they were with the atrix. They were one of the first cases available for the Atrix.

Cruzerlite Androidified TPU case review

Hey guys,
So i finally got this case in my hands and man its pretty cool! the android def gives a sick new look and its a high quality case. on quality it reminds me of the diztronic... The case feels good and its price cant be beat
A different take on a tpu..something needed on the market
enjoy

I ordered the white and it got dirty within a week and the material it was made of just couldn't be cleaned. I carried it mostly in my jean pocket and occasionally in my purse/bag (always clean, no spilled makeup or the like). The rubber area wasn't as dirty but kept the jean indigo ruboff while the matte area just got yellowish/brown dirty. I received an email from the company asking for feedback and I let them know and asked them how I can clean it. They didn't have any suggestions and instead offered to send me another, to which I replied gratefully and asked for the teal color instead of the white.
It comes today and I'll take a couple pics if you want. Awesome retailer (through Amazon).
Other than that, awesome case. The charger went in a little crooked but straightened out after a while. There are holes for a lanyard strap or charm which I got used to on my old HTC and the GNex lacks. The side ridges make it super grippy and the big Android on the back prevents [most] people from saying "OMG IZ THAT TEH NEW IPHONE"
The best part is taking it off and remembering how thin the Nexus is ^_^

Hahaha ur last sentence is so true!! Everytime I take off my cases it makes the phone look so slim

Oh, nice! I have a new phone strap and wanted to use it but was slightly bummed that the Gnex doesn't have a hole for one. The android design on the back is also very cute.
Thanks for talking about the white version. I'm a fan of white cases but worried about the discoloration on this one. I mostly carry my phone in my purse with usually no makeup in it.

I hope you guys aren't trying to say that this case adds a lot of bulk to the phone...

Here's a tip for anyone ordering the case from anywhere that requires intenational shipping.
If you pay via Google payments then the order will be complete with you just paying for the case thus will save you on paying the international shipping charge - At least it worked for me.
Enjoy.

I saw that too..kinda weird isnt it??

Have been using the teal and its really nice. The charger port hole still isn't perfect but I am just careful with it. Looked on ebay last night and there's a ****load of new options including some cool looking metal-ey ones. Before there were just the same ones from the larger retailers around $20.
Ill be picking up another cruzerlite soon, they are still the only one I found with the lanyard holes lol

Cruzerlite Case

i have one in orange. if you like TPU cases that don't cover up the buttons, then it's most certainly for you. the fit is excellent. feels good in hand and the device feels solid with it on. i'd take some pictures but i won't have a camera on me until a little later. the only reason i'm still in the market is because i'm now looking for something that does cover up the buttons. the power button being a little loose only bothers me because i mess with it.

The pics on Amazon of the Cruzerlite cases are actually pretty accurate. I bought 3 of the "Androidified" model last week in anticipation of my new S3 (there was a 3-for-$20 sale at Amazon, and I knew I wanted some variety for mix and match).
So far, I like the teal one I put on my blue S3, it fits well, looks sharp and is grippy enough for something made of urethane.
I'd buy em again, or at least get one, and then cruise the bargain bin for color variety.

I bought three cases from them...I particularly liked the one smoked version for the white. I also bought two with Andy on the back (Translucent Orange and Clear). I have not used those as much bcs I felt the android on the back of the cover made the phone a little slippery.
Overall, the are good solid TPU cases. I will certainly consider for my next purchase.

Thanks for the responses, I'm wondering if the clear one turns yellowish like it did on my friends one S

Lets annoy the crap out of Urban Armor Gear until they make a case for us!

I don't know how many of you guys are aware of UAG, but they make HANDS DOWN the best cases. I reached out to them a week or so ago and they said they have no plans on making a case for the Moto X. That needs to change. We all need to pester them on Facebook and through their website so they can see what kind of demand there is for a case for the Moto X, and I wish to enlist all of you to help me in my quest.
Here is their FB link- https://www.facebook.com/UrbanArmorGear
and here is their website- http://blog.urbanarmorgear.com/connect-with-uag/
- Click the "I have a suggestion" tab and let them know we want a case!
For those of you who haven't been acquainted with their products, here is my review of their HTC One case (which they linked to on their website!)-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274216

If we get them to make us a case I will buy an extra one and hold a giveaway here on XDA! Come on guys, it only takes a second to post on their Facebook!

I sent them a shout out. I've been wanting a UAG for a long time, but no love for the GN. In the meantime I picked up a Trident Cyclops that I actually really dig. Picked one up off of eBay for 29.99. I had a Trident Kraken on the GN and enjoyed it. Cases are built well, and offer good phone protection.

Sooo... it looks like UAG is going to be making a case for the Moto X after all. They kinda said it without saying it here-
Hi Brad,
We are listening we are launching several new products and designs and are looking ahead. Thanks for reaching out and considering UAG as armor for your Moto X! It seems like a natural match.
Kind Regards,

I don't think we have anything to worry about. When you put their response in context with the email I sent them, it's a pretty surefire thing. I rocked the white on my iPhone 5 and on my HTC One, and I will certainly be rocking the white on my Moto X.
Here was my email to them-
I know I have asked you guys on Facebook if you were planning on making a case for the Moto X and you said no, but I was hoping you guys have taken note of the growing popularity of the phone and possibly reconsidered. I really think you guys will sell a lot of them, considering you make hands down the best cases on the market. Last time around I did a review of your case for the HTC One on xda developers (_MetalHead_) and it was met with an overwhelmingly positive response. Many people purchased the case after reading that review. I will gladly do another review of the Moto X case, should you decide to make one, and I guarantee we will get the same reaction. You guys make a wonderful product, you just need to expand your offerings to cover more devices. Lets start with the Moto X!

So. I was poking around on their site and I found their newest iPhone 5c case: http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/maverick
I do not doubt that there will be, at least, this version for the moto x. Since we have multiple colors, they will look for the most cost-effective way to make a matching color scheme for the case. The best option would be to make a clear one. Although I would most definitely choose white again, I will gladly settle if they only release a clear version.

Well I am coming from the GNex with extended battery plus Kraken case. That was a pretty bulky phone not gonna lie as you had a layer of TPE followed by the hard plastic. The Cyclops on my X still feels pretty awesome without ungodly bulk, It still is overall a rather thin phone, and I think it fits better in my hands as I have big hands.

I ended up buying a blue one and it came yesterday. It's a decent case but it does add a little too much bulk for my liking. I do like how it maintains a semi-thin profile but I don't like how wide it is. I'm probably going to use it while at work for now, but once the UAG case comes out then it'll probably get tossed in a drawer never to be seen again.

I know the feeling as I have 3 or 4 rugged GNex cases laying around trying to find the right one. I will definitely be trying out the UAG case whenever it hits the market. I just went with the Cyclops as I don't use Otterboxes, and that was about the only rugged case outside of Ballistic. My profession require that I have a rugged case and screen protector at all times.

Copy of official bumper case?

I am looking for a case like the official bumper case.
Is there anything like that? I want something soft since it obviously offers the most protection during a drop. But the only one I know so far is that Cruzerlite Bugdroid, but that pattern on the back makes it look so cheap, doesn't work with the phone at all. I'd just like something minimalistic like the phone. The official one is great but since it's rather expensive I'm looking for alternatives.

Spigen Neo Hybrid. Looks great and feels good in my hand.
Stay away from the Spigen Silent Armor though. That one has many problems with the power button alignment

We're just gonna have to wait like we did with the Nexus 4 bumper replicas.

I have tried the Spigen Neo Hybrid in Champagne Gold. It looks really fantastic, the protection is very solid. It just added a bit too much bulk for my taste and I will receive the bumper case next week to compare it with.

Thanks for the infos on the Spigen ones! I am looking for something more simple though. They feel so overly designed to me, I really would like something completely minimalistic, just like the original case.
@FatalityBoyZahy
I don't know anything about the Nexus 4, so you are saying there will be clones of the official case?

Who knows for the Nexus 5 bumper case though. Maybe the replicas will be better given the staining and peeling problems that you hear a bunch about with the OEM bumper case.

Couldn't agree more with the staining, Got a gray one from Play Store and was stained within a week. Was planning to reorder a black one and now I think I'll wait for reviews of the Shenit version.

I ordered a red one looks like it will be a good month or so before it comes in... I'll give you guys a review when it comes in.

Dont buy original, after paying such a handsome amount you will end up with a case which has not a perfect fit, which happened in my case atleast. The lower of the case is not hugging the phone unlike the other sides
