Will we ever know? The otter is sleep. Trident has put 2 cases on the street since Otterbox made the announcement proclaiming they were working on a case for the MT4G.

The commuter case is already out and you can buy them from their site. I loved the commuter case on my iPhone and was thinking of getting on for the myTouch but they don't have any colors but black but these have some color options

personally, I think trident cases are more protective. Otterbox seems to be all hard plastic while trident has soft rubber and hard plastic mixed, so you phone doesnt slide as easily. I dont think otterbox can do that.

there are descriptions on each of there cases for about everything you need to know.
But I prefer the aegis
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
AEGIS:
Description
The myTouch 4G by HTC brings the advanced capabilities of 4G to the T-Mobile network. Trident Case's Aegis for myTouch 4G envelops the device with profound protection while maintaining a sleek look and feel.

Drop Protection System
The four corners of double-thick silicone insulate the myTouch 4G from everything including light bumps to violent drops with a unique shock-absorbing design.
Anti-Skid Design
The exposed portions of silicone give the case a firm grip on even the slickest surface whether the case is face-up or face-down.
Screen Protector
The Aegis for myTouch 4G comes with a scratch and smudge-resistant screen protector- keeping the screen safe without sacrificing responsiveness.
Technical Specs
Plastic covers made of Polycarbonate and the skin is of Silicone. All materials are 100% RoHS compliant.

Anti-scratch, anti-glare, bubble-free, clear PET screen protector shields screen from finger prints, smudges, scratches and moisture while maintaining complete touch screen interactivity. Package includes the installation kit for the screen protector.
Ergonomical
Carefully designed for a reliable, comfortable, non-slip hold.
Anti-Dust Design
Camera lens and flash PET film protector included to keep out dust and debris (optional). Headphone jack and dock connectors fully protected when not in use.
Velvet Touch
Multi-coated rubberized finish encases the device for a smooth feel and sleek appearance. Available in 9 different colors.
Technical Specs
Plastic covers are made of polycarbonate and the outer-wrap is silicone. All materials are 100% RoHS compliant.
Available in 6 Colors:
Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Red, and Yellow.

Thank you, I'm a steel fabricator and work in a hellish environment. Seems like Aegis is tougher and cheaper too

no problem.

just ordered one in black, will post my thoughts when it arrives

I wish I would have known about the Aegis before I ordered a Cyclops. I can't stand the Cyclops, and I never use it.

Are they available anywhere now or just pre-order?

So far it looks like the aegis is only available in black. If you go to tridenteer(dot)com you can get a notification when the colors on your wish list are available
Also be careful with cyclopscases(dot)com, they're not affiliated with trident at all and may be selling knock off product

Can anyone confirm this? Because the price is $10 cheaper, and I would love to save the $10 but not if I am going to get a defective case as it is a gift for someone else. LoL.

What are you looking for in a case? Obviously you like it to be white, but what else?

Good protection, easy to remove, looks good and that it will feel good in the hand while not adding bulk to the device I like it thin.

The first case looks like it would add a fair amount of protection, and it's also aesthetically pleasing. It looks like it may add a tiny bit of bulk though; although, it might make it a little more pleasing to hold.
The second case doesn't seem that it would offer a lot of protection, but the holster is definitely a plus, and the case is fairly slim.

If you like it thin, then cross that first option off the list. Duo layered "hybrid" cases aren't thin by design. The thinnest I know, is from Seidio, with very nice in-hand feel and good protection.
The other white case with the holster won't offer you top or bottom protection if you ever drop it. So cross that off as well.
If you want single layer solution, you should consider TPU, it's a popular choice for a reason (beside price). CruzerLite and Diztronic are good options. CruzerLite's Androidified cases are noticeable thinner than Diztronic's classy version, but both are recommended. I wouldn't recommend any white TPU though, since they love to suck up color that rubs against them.
What I'm currently using now is a bumper case. There's a few threads about it. My version did have the TPU separation problem, but once I've placed a few dabs of superglue on area, I've experienced only satisfaction with the case. Here's the eBay page for it. I bought one copy from a similar seller, and a couple more from an online website that have stopped offering them. Needless to say, price have risen up a bit since when I bought them last.

Thanks that's kinda what i want but for the VZW model

I bought a case which looks very similar to the first one off amazon which fit very loose. I tossed the case out the day I got it. The phone was literally falling out of the case.
A link to the one i bought. Dont get it.

I have the VZW GNex. The bumper fits just fine. The top rim doesn't completely fold over onto the screen, but unless you're super OCD, it's negligible. The overall feel of the phone + case won me over. You should at least try it. For only 3 bucks (when I bought it), it's a great case for me.

Rugged protection?

I love the idea of minimal cases and whatnot but I at times need rugged tough protection.
Has anyone come across any rugged style protection for the One?
Thanks.

Hopefully soon. No name Chinese cases usually pop up first. Hybrid, rugged or tough are search terms I'm using.

Yeah I've looked all over. Tpu is the toughest it gets right now. Not too mention hardly any are shipping at a decent speed. A lot of which I've seen can take about week's time or more.

I would love something from Ballistic or something waterproof.
I ordered an aluminum bumper from aliexpress for about $8. I also have a Nillkin glass screen protector ordered.

Been also looking for something more rugged even though I dont have the phone yet. Even the no name brands haven't come up with one till now :banghead:.

I'm just going with a cheap clear snapon from ebay for now until to hold me over till something more protective comes along

Still no sign of a rugged case yet?

These two cases might be the closest to rugged you're going to get in awhile until someone makes one.

I bought both Tudia and Diztronic and kept the Tudia, I returned the Diztronic it just didn't feel right in the hands.

I hope one of these companies who make rugged cases do one for the OPO. I wouldn't mind some sort of rugged case. I typically use a very thin case however there are times where I would like the added protection.

i don't understand how you could count the tudia as a rugged case? looks like a normal tpu case!

It's the most rugged you're going to get right now. It is thicker than the cruzerlite.

I have both the tudia and the cruzerlite. They both seem to offer the same amount of protection, but the tudia seems more slippery in the hand.

Premium feeling cases? (Both rugged and leather)

Hi. I am looking for protective cases, does not have to be super thin. Would really like something that feels premium in the hand and would have good grip.
So far considering for work/sport:
Spigen Neo Hybrid
Tough case (too large maybe)
Rugged armor
Caseology parallax
Real leather case with no flip cover would be nice also
Thanks!

Caseology parallax my choice, second Spigen

I bought this one almost a year ago. It comes in a few colors. The back is metal and it's pretty darn tough. It will block a wireless charger though. You'll have to take the case off if you want to charge it that way. It also comes with a tempered glass screen protector. Pretty good deal for $11.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XS3J4YJ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just got a new G6+ this week and was looking for the same thing. I am trying out this one below from Amazon (sorry I can't paste a direct link yet). It doesn't have the nice smell of real leather, but is pretty nice quality for the price (clean lines, good fit, nice feel in the hand).

ArmadilloTek Vanguard and Urban Rnager review

I received both the Vanguard and Urban ranger case for me to review from ArmadilloTek which is a newer company based out of Texas who are a couple outdoor enthusiasts. They're two cases I got to try out are a nice good fit and a great overall case for the price. The Vanguard currently sells on Amazon for $18.98 and the Urban Ranger sells for $11.98.
Overall the Vanguard I am a pretty big fan of being its rugged and durable, since I have received the case it's been my daily driver for about a week now. It's a two piece construction similar to a Supacase or equivalent. It does NOT have a screen protector built in and the way it is designed I do not see a Whitestone dome screen protector fitting either. The buttons on the case feel good and very "clicky" and seem to have a great response. Also with this case you have a charging port and headphone jack plug that seems to fit snug and keep what ever you might encounter out. Yes the case does allow for a wireless charging and it does have a stand on the back. There is no holster for either as far as I know currently. I would say this case gives Otterbox a run for it's money currently at the price point. Also the case is raised to protect the front screen and I don't have any problems using gestures on my s10+ with it.
Now for the Urban Ranger I am not a big fan of the buttons, they don't seem very responsive for me but I don't like the feel of the case in my hands and the fitment. This case a is lighter duty case similar to maybe Spigen Rugged Armor. If it weren't for the button response I would really have a hard time picking one or the other be cause typically I am a thin or minimalistic case guy.
If your looking for two good quality case to give a try give them a try!

Sigh, but don't you think ours are stronger!!! the front cover?

I have one of the vanguard cases the OP talks of. It's a good case, but if you ever want to take it off for whatever reason, you better get a crow bar because it really locks your phone to itself. I had to use my flip out pocket knife to pry it off my phone. I also had to be very careful not to cut the case (which I did a little) or damage my phone cosmetically. For this reason I use an otter box as my daily driver.
