Cases for the Ozone - Thoughts?

I've found a number of Sites selling cases for the Ozone (I assume they'd work on the other devices based on the Maple/Willow)

Does anyone have any experience with any of these vendors? Know the source? Or have any thoughts on the items?
Thanks.

IMHO i wouldnt buy a case just yet, unless its from ur service provider or from HTC itself.
in alot of cases and reports ive read they are using the Blackberry Curve cases with minimal NOTICEABLE modifications to make them Snap compatible, and well thats no bueno!

Talkie Tech Cases
I just got 2 cases from Talkie Tech and I can say they're made for the HTC Ozone. Definitely *not* a mod of another phone.
Price was $9.95(US) plus flat rate shipping ($4.95 I believe) and I got them in 2 days.
Very satisfied, they're a great product.

I just bought this one on Ebay-
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400070510706&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:1123

I had a hard plastic case for about 2 weeks, took it off to pull battery and noticed pits from rocks/dirt that got under the case... Soft Skins = Win.
Had a silicone case for 3 weeks, easy to clean, no dirt, best buy.

I use the Ozone belt clip / holster available from VZW

Hard Plastic
I bought a hard plastic case, coated in rubber on the outside, for about $20 from verizon corp. store... It makes the phone a little easier to handle, without it I always felt I was going to drop it, def. a good choice for me, it snaps together well, and has a little pit where you need to insert the edge of a coin and pry it apart, not going to pull apart by accident. The thick design also protects the cam lens from scratches as well. I'd recommend something like this, by the way they even gave me my 22% work discount on the accessory, as well as on the monthly bill.

Will Ozone cases fit my Sprint Snap, or are there slight differences that wont allow snap cases to work?

Case Mate Barely There for Dash 3G
Here is one on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Case-Mate-Barel...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item19baaafcca
It comes in 5 colors, my choice is black.
This is the FINEST case for the Dash 3G, a little pricey but you get what you pay for. They go for about $17 on most websites. Form fitting case, protects the sides and corners and adds strength. Comes with a clear screen protector. Adds on a couple of millimeters to the size but you can find a leather case that will fit even with the Case Mate installed when you are on the go.
This case also removes easilly in case you want to change the battery or whatever.
I went quite a few cases before i found this one, and I love it. Forget about the cheap snap on cases they break, the expensive snap ons they wont come off without breaking, the aluminum cases block the signal, this is the case you want!

I´ve just buyed the black silicone case posted before, soon as I got it I´ll post some pics

I got 2 Ozone protective plastic/rubberized front case from handhelditems.com along with the mirror screen protector, along with fast USPS shipping - all for under $10 (USD)
The case fit together nicely & tightly, and made it nearly the same size as the classic Motorla Q series - all the factory slots, usb port, camera & side buttons are easily to use. It gives the phone the extra weight, touch & feel and even if it is dropped, should give it good amount of protection.
I then slide mine into one of those Motorola side pouch for extra margin of safety. At other things, I just put it in the pocket as it's so slim and away from keys, coins or items that can scratch.
I had the leather case with rotating belt clip from VZW for a while and that worked too, except the plastic over the screen sometimes do cause problem trying to read it outdoor, plus, dust gather underneath it.

I have a slightly used OEM Verizon Ozone holster if anybody wants to pony up $10.00 you can have it.

Video Review: Aluminum Bumper Case Review

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on affordable (but well made!) aluminum bumper style case for the Galaxy S3. This particular model came from Tmart but you can find similar ones on eBay, in all sorts of colors. It's a two piece case that fits nice and snug around your S3. It WILL bubble up some screenshields, which is unfortunate. All the ports and the cutouts are spot on, which is impressive for such an affordably priced case. Overall, while it doesn't offer a lot of protection, if you're looking for a bumper case - this is a good option!
Check out the video review below for more info;

Why keep throwing that word "affordable" out and not say what you paid for it? I have this very case since August ordering it straight from the manufacturer. I could find no dealer in the US. Plus, there were many knockoffs, especially on Ebay. Don't get me wrong, I love my TrioBump, I'm just annoyed at how so many post while leaving out details!
EDIT: Well, I watched the video and must apologize and complain even more! I should have watched it first (my bad) but I'd rather read the pertinent details in the post than watch a vid. I do not agree with your assessments. I think this case gives protection where it is needed most. I don't use any of those new fangled screen protectors that supposedly protect the display from impact damage. I think that's going to far. I do employ the Invisishield on front and back. It give a very snug fit with no bubbling. That said, I'm confident that I will not get any damage if my phone take a hit anywhere this bumper covers. My only concern would be having it hit a rock directly to the screen and in that case, I have insurance. I like the minimalist form factor plus the ease with which it can be taken on/off to change batteries. Plus, I can use it with my FlyGrip which is why I searched for just such a minimalist case. You slip in your two fingers and can use the phone with one hand without worrying about dropping. Plus, as you can see, it doubles as a stand. What has me newly annoyed is the price you quoted. I paid about 4o bucks from the manufacturer, Gimmick Five. I don't see how it could be sold for just 10 dollars.
EDIT: Just checked Gimmick Five's website, and they are still listed at 39.99 US. I'd like to know the story behind Tmart's TrioBumps.

katinkas ultra slim cover

hi guys, i have to buy a case for my galaxy nexus, is katinkas case that good?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008D8UTQ6/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
it looks really thin, anyone has experienced it?

nobody knows?

This video may not give many opinions on the case but it show cases it a little better. For what it's worth it looks like one of the simplest nicest cases I've came across. Good find!

Found it for $4.93 on Amazon US as an add-on item (total in cart, including this, must be $25 or more). Ordered one for the rare occasions I need a cover. Mine is normally bare. Family member uses the Diztronic on his.

I just got mine from Amazon. Paid about $12 for it. Sorry, don't have pictures, but here's my take -
Very slim plastic material - thinner than the Diztronic Matte Black Flexible case, which I had on before this. It's not like TPU, which has a more rubbery consistency.
Does not cover the bezel at all, so if you lay your phone face down, the case does not touch - this is probably the biggest issue for me.
Cutouts are precise, but do require just slightly more pressure to use the power and volume buttons.
Overall, not bad for under $15. I would not pay any more than that, though. I think the Diztronic case is a better buy. It's cheaper, better quality IMHO, and comes with a screen protector.
If the Katinkas covered the bezel, even just a bit, I'd definitely keep it on the phone.

It looks cool
Is there white version (or more clear) too?

Yes there is

[Review] HTC 10 Cases: Spigen, Incipio, Diztronic, Supcase and more!

I'm what they call a casaholic, so I tend to accumulate a plethora of cases. I will post reviews of my cases below (some of you may have seen my other OP's in the S7 Edge and Nexus 6P forums). I will keep this OP updated with plenty of details over time.
Diztronic TPU:
I am a long time Diztronic fan dating back to my LG G3. I always enjoyed Diztronic’s simple, yet appealing design that never tried to be anything other than a great case. For starters, Diztronic cases are made from TPU and feature a plain back without any visible logo which is a big plus considering how some companies use the Verizon branding standard plastering them everywhere. On this case you will only find the logo along the side discretely hiding in plain site; I’ve noticed Spigen starting to do the same, except some of their cases still sport a back logo as well. Inside the case Diztronic decided to put their main logo in a rather large in your face way. The placement of the interior logo is fine because you will never see it unless you take your phone out of the case.
Along the back of the case, the camera cutout is larger than the ones you will find on my Spigen cases. I can appreciate this design given how TPU flexes as you place your phone in it. For example if someone puts their phone in sideways and the TPU is unevenly tensioned, a more precise cutout might not be perfectly aligned (this happens all of the time if you look at the alignment while installing the case various ways). One thing I don’t particularly like is how the camera almost sits flush with the case given its width.
Now, as for the case’s feel you will find a nice soft-touch like TPU. I think Diztronic has one of the best feeling TPU’s out there with Spigen coming in second. Since Diztronic only makes a TPU case, and their Voyeur Hybrid for some phones, they do an excellent job making what’s arguably the best TPU case out there.
I’m going to repeat some things here because there is only so much you can say about the port/headphone cutouts
Ports:
The stock cable does fit, but it will push the TPU upward slightly due to the connectors size. I haven’t found any issues fitting the stock cable, or any of my other Type-C cables that I use for my Nexus 6P, so don’t let that discourage you. If you have large ‘studio’ style headphones with a massive aux cable you shouldn’t have any issues given the relatively large cutout on this case. It works fine with my Bose QC 20’s, Freestyles, OE’s, Samsung headphones, and some others I’ve tried. All microphone cutouts are also present.
Volume/Power buttons:
All of the buttons click exceptionally well as I would expect from a Diztronic case.
Overall: 9/10
Diztronic makes excellent TPU cases that are my personal favorite. I appreciate the work that goes into the simple, yet elegant design along with their excellent feel. My one issue with this case is how the camera sits almost flush with the TPU, other than that small personal nitpick you won’t find a better TPU case out there.
Diztronic TPU
Incipio Octane:
Incipio has a rather slim offering for the HTC 10, but they are making some of their best cases for it. I’m bringing back a favorite from my S7 Edge: the Incipio Octane. This case is a hybrid with a harder TPU bumper and what I believe to be an acrylic frosted back.
First lets talk about the build of this case; I think Incipio has a nice unique design given the tire tread styled bumper region that contrasts the frosted clear back. The frame doesn’t provide a whole lot of grip, but it doesn’t need to because unlike the Spigen Ultra Hybrid this case is not slippery, nor does it attract fingerprints. Incipio paid particular attention to detail by having a black border around the camera/flash cutouts which will prevent the ghosting issues seen on other cases. One thing I wish they changed was their logo placement; I think it interferes with the nice look of the HTC 10 with not only it’s size, but also the depth, and sheer in your face look it has once you see it.
I’m going to repeat some things here because there is only so much you can say about the port/headphone cutouts
Ports: All of the ports are aligned properly, and Incipio didn’t use the seemingly dumb cutout that Spigen has on their cases. Up top the headphone cutout isn’t large, but it will get the job done nonetheless. I haven’t experienced any issues fitting the stock cable, or any of my other USB-C ones that I have.
Volume/Power buttons: Incipio never has issues with their buttons, so I was happy to feel the ones on this case. All of the buttons are slightly raised giving them a easy to find feel. I don’t think anyone will have any issues with the buttons on this case.
Overall: 9/10 I love every part of this case with the exception of Incipio’s logo placement. It features great buttons, a nice frosted back section, and a unique style that makes it worth the ~$20-25 you will pay for it online or direct from Incipio.
Incipio Octane
Incipio NGP:
Given the lack of cases available for the HTC 10, I opted for another Incipio based on their track record. Even though Incipio’s selection isn’t great for this phone I wanted to try a different case from them this time: The Incipio NGP
There isn’t anything really special per say about this case other than it being my favorite TPU case (dethroning the Diztronic). Incipio opted for a harder TPU than what Diztronic or Spigen normally use; now, before you think to yourself how that might suck or be bad it’s a good move on their part. The TPU seems more scratch resistant so far, and honestly feels very similar to what Tech 21 uses in their EVO Frame case that I have for my S7 Edge. With that being said it resists scratches, fingerprints, and other dirt a whole lot better than the other two. I particularly like how there is a very subtle texture to the TPU giving it that more dare I say “premium” (even though I really don’t like how often that word is overused). I now wish I bought this case for my S7 Edge given how nice it feels in your hand followed by the good price for what it is. I know there are cheaper options out there, some of which are also great (Diztronic), but I doubt you will be disappointed with this case. There is also no dumb/obnoxious antenna cutout that Spigen seems to love putting on their cases. If I had to pick one thing I didn’t like it would be their logo placement on the back of the case. I would personally prefer a less invasive logo on the side, or a smaller one.
I’m going to repeat some things here because there is only so much you can say about the port/headphone cutouts
Ports: All of the ports are aligned properly, and Incipio didn’t use the seemingly dumb cutout that Spigen has on their cases. Up top the headphone cutout isn’t large, but it will get the job done nonetheless. I haven’t experienced any issues fitting the stock cable, or any of my other USB-C ones that I have given how large it is.
Volume/Power buttons: Excellent buttons overall on par with the Incipio Octane, Diztronic and Spigen cases. All of them are tactile, easy to find and smooth (for better or worse).
Overall: 9.25/10 Incipio nailed it with their NGP case for the HTC 10. The build, buttons, and feel are all top notch for this type of case only adding to how great it is. You don’t find this one scratching either, so that is another nice ‘feature’ to have if you would call it that. The buttons can be a little on the smooth side despite being easy to find, and the giant logo isn’t something I’m personally too fond of. Given how nice the case is I would definitely buy it again for any phone I own from here on out.
Incipio NGP
Spigen Ultra Hybrid:
There aren’t a whole lot of good clear cases on the market for phones lately. I’ve search for a long time to find one from a good manufacturer for each of my current phones (Nexus 6P, S7 Edge, HTC10), yet I always found the Ultra Hybrid to be one of the better ones out there. (The S7 Edge model had some issues). Spigen made the HTC10 version better than their previous ones, which is good news especially after how tightly the one for the S7 Edge fit causing it to interfere with the buttons functionality. Since I like using skins/wraps (SlickWraps/dbrand), I usually get a few clear cases to show off the phone in a unique way.
The Ultra Hybrid (UH) holds up to scratches well even though it will get small ones over time. There is a scratch resistant coating on the back, but not one on the inside. I would be careful wiping dirt out of the inside for this reason because I’ve scratched a few cases this way unfortunately. Spigen decided to make individual cutouts for the bottom firing speaker unlike Diztronic which just had one large cutout. I can’t say that I have a particular preference for either method, but I thought it would be useful to note the differences in these cases.
One thing that I will say for all 3 of my Spigen cases is that there is a very obscure large cutout along the top. I don’t know what purpose it serves, why they decided to include it, or if they will revise their case lineup and remove it. I emailed Spigen about the cutout earlier; as of writing this review I have not heard back from them. I think this HUGE cutout really detracts from otherwise good/great cases therefore making it very hard to recommend the cases until Spigen addresses this issue, or explains why it’s there.
Update: as @klarthur mentioned, the UH has a ghosting issue when the flash is used. I should have expected this given how close the cutout is to the flash coupled with a lack of black border around the cutout.
I’m going to repeat some things here because there is only so much you can say about the port/headphone cutouts
Ports:
The stock fits perfectly, without displacing the TPU like some other cases. I haven’t found any issues fitting the stock cable, or any of my other Type-C cables that I use for my Nexus 6P, so don’t let that discourage you. If you have large ‘studio’ style headphones with a massive aux cable you shouldn’t have any issues given the relatively large cutout on this case. It works fine with my Bose QC 20’s, Freestyles, OE’s, Samsung headphones, and some others I’ve tried. All microphone cutouts are also present.
Volume/Power buttons:
I was expecting better tactile feedback than I found on the Ultra Hybrid. The case makes the buttons feel slightly “mushy” compared to my other TPU cases. I really can’t stand when cases cause the button to no longer feel tactile because it ruins the overall experience of the phone. Buttons should always retain a tactile feel so they don’t further detract from how the phone should feel if it wasn’t in a case. I will update this section if the buttons beak in overtime, so let’s hope that happens.
Overall: 7/10
There are a few discrepancies with Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid case that will hopefully get fixed if they revise it. First, there’s the gigantic cutout along the top that serves no purpose that I could find as of writing this review. Secondly, the buttons lost their tactile feel in this case making the experience poor. I still like the look of this clear case despite it’s issues and will likely use it from time to time until a better clear one gets released. (Incipio Octane is enroute!) For right now I wouldn’t buy Spigen’s cases even with their sale given the odd cutout on them (thinfit is the exception).
Spigen Ultra Hybrid
Spigen Rugged Armor:
The Spigen Rugged Armor (RA) has been a staple case for each of my phones alongside some others since it first came out. The case has a nice look to it, but the size of carbon fiber on each case varies, as does their overall look. For example, my Nexus 6P version has a much smaller CF area, while my S7 Edge one has a huge one in comparison. Spigen decided to make the one on the HTC 10 version small, but I feel that a larger region would look better here. That’s my personal preference, and it doesn’t affect the quality of the case.
As far as the TPU goes, you will find a high quality near matte finish that wears off overtime as I’ve come to find out. I will post a picture below showing the case on all 3 of my phones. The Nexus 6P version is the oldest (bought it back in October), followed by my S7 Edge one. This should provide a good visual for what to expect overtime as you use the case. My Nexus 6P RA had the buttons wear overtime so they are no longer as tactile as they used to be using that case. I’m not sure if that will be a continued trend, but if my S7 Edge version gets the same issue, I will add a note here (that would imply the HTC 10 version would also have that issue).
I mentioned a rather odd issue in my Ultra Hybrid review, so here it is again:
There is a HUGE cutout along the top of the case that seems to serve no real purpose. I reached out to Spigen for comments, or clarification as to its purpose. I will add an update if I hear anything from Spigen, or elsewhere online.
I’m going to repeat some things here because there is only so much you can say about the port/headphone cutouts
Ports: The stock fits perfectly, without displacing the TPU like some other cases. I haven’t found any issues fitting the stock cable, or any of my other Type-C cables that I use for my Nexus 6P, so don’t let that discourage you. If you have large ‘studio’ style headphones with a massive aux cable you shouldn’t have any issues given the relatively large cutout on this case. It works fine with my Bose QC 20’s, Freestyles, OE’s, Samsung headphones, and some others I’ve tried. All microphone cutouts are also present.
Volume/Power buttons: All of the buttons have a nice tactile response to them that anyone could appreciate. One thing that makes this case stand out is how Spigen textured the power button to match what HTC did with the phone. This gives the case a unique feel more in line with what a good case should have.
Overall: 7/10
Given all of the nice attributes of the case, I’m questioning its longevity after experiencing other issues with my Nexus 6P one. I expect this one to encounter a similar issue with the buttons as it gets used more, although nothing is definitive yet. My other grievance is the large cutout along the top of the case. I think it impacts the cases ability to protect your HTC 10 in the even of a drop.
Spigen Rugged Armor
Spigen Thin Fit:
I appreciate the minimalist nature of thin fit cases, especially for bulkier phones like the HTC 10. The case features a metallic finish given the “gunmetal” color of this particular one. It feels like Spigen made this one slightly thicker than their other thin fit cases that I have for my Nexus 6P and S7 Edge, although I would need to measure it to confirm that. All of the cutouts are present, but I would have liked a little more room around the flash module given the cases reflective nature in this color scheme.
While the case is plastic, the back feels almost “rubbery” at times which is good. The last thing I want to happen is having my brand new HTC 10 fall on the ground. This case should have enough grip (not a lot, but enough for what it is) to prevent something that like for most people. On the top/bottom you will see a lip covering a very small amount of the otherwise open regions. This should also help out in the event of a fall, although I wouldn’t expect it to handle big drops well.
Spigen seems to have a very inconsistent way of making their thin fit cases in general. My S7 Edge one covers the top/bottom of the phone just like the one I had for my Nexus 6. Now, my Nexus 6P one is open at the top/bottom just like the HTC 10 is. I don’t know why they seem to have it open then covered more like the Ringke slim depending on the phone. I wish Spigen would just have it covered to give you more of a 360 degree side coverage in a slim package.
I’m going to repeat some things here because there is only so much you can say about the port/headphone cutouts
Ports: There should be absolutely no issues accessing the ports given how both the top and bottom of the case are completely open.
Volume/Power buttons: Spigen has large cutouts that are rounded at the edge to give you easy access to the buttons. I didn’t experience any issues using/finding the buttons.
Overall: 7/10
Spigen has been too inconsistent with their thin fit line to make it as appealing as it could be. The open top/bottom are not something I’ve particularly a fan of given the choice. I also did not like how Spigen had their cutouts on this particular case because it slightly distorts the flash unlike in an all-black one like the Rugged Armor. This is still one of the few slim cases out there, so if you can deal with the open top/bottom and potential flash issue depending on the color, than disregard what I said above.
Spigen Thin Fit
Supcase Beetle Pro:
Generally I'm not a huge fan of these "rugged" cases, but with the limited selection of HTC case I figured it wouldn't hurt to try out. First I wanted to say that I'm rather impressed with the build of this case which is on par with the slimmer version Supcase makes (not for the HTC 10 unfortunately). With the added heft you get a sense of comfort knowing that there's a very high chance your phone will survive most if not all large drops, falls, impacts etc. I didn't find the case too big personally, and the added holster is certainly a nice touch. One thing that I really don't like about this case is the build in screen protector. It has one of those awful dot matrix patterns to assist with touching the display given how there's an air gap between it and the screen. The fingerprint scanner cutout is also on the smaller side which caused some misreads for me compared to other cases. I also found that dust, hair, and other particulates loved making their way under the screen protector no matter how hard I tried to blow them out with a can of air before placing my phone in the case. Lastly, the bottom lip of the case makes it awkward to use the fingerprint scanner or buttons in general given how low HTC decided to place them.
I’m going to repeat some things here because there is only so much you can say about the port/headphone cutouts
Ports: There should be absolutely no issues accessing the ports given how both the top and bottom of the case are completely open. I've tested multiple cables without any issues; also my Shure SE215's, Bose QC20's, Bose Freestyle and all aux cables fit just fine despite the port covers/small port.
Volume/Power buttons: These are surprisingly tactile, even more so than a few of my other cases. I have absolutely no issue at all with them, plus they are raised ever so slightly to help you find them in a pinch.
Overall: 8.5/10 I am impressed with this case despite its few small drawbacks given how much protection you are getting out of it. The holster is also a nice addition that really completes the whole package and offers something different to your conventional "rugged" style case.
Supcase Beetle Pro
Mods: I'm reserving a few posts for pictures due to the large amount I plan to include for each case review. Please don't delete any of them because it makes life harder when things are scattered. Thank you in advance!

TUDIA:
I’ve owned many TUDIA cases dating back to my Nexus 6 a few years ago. All of those cases have been great, simple, and durable. I honestly think they fell short of their previous feel with this case. The case at first feels and looks nice, but don’t be fooled by the signature TUDIA styling, and nice look because this case has some serious flaws. My case has a ton of mold lines throughout that I somewhat reduced with an X-Acto knife before snapping the pictures. It shouldn’t be shipped looking like a factory second, yet it still was. Now, lets talk about their TPU; TUDIA went with the same material they have always used in my experience which is fine. The TPU is on the slicker side and seems to resist scratching better than Spigen’s Rugged Armor. Around the camera cutout there is a very sharp edge that is nearly translucent (about a 0.5mm section of it) that seems like it wasn’t supposed to be that thin.
I’m going to repeat some things here because there is only so much you can say about the port/headphone cutouts
Ports: All of the ports are aligned properly, and Incipio didn’t use the seemingly dumb cutout that Spigen has on their cases. Up top the headphone cutout isn’t large, but it will get the job done nonetheless. I haven’t experienced any issues fitting the stock cable, or any of my other USB-C ones that I have.
Volume/Power buttons: This is one of the areas where the case falls apart for me. The buttons are absolutely unusable and do not even budge even with a lot of effort. These are by far the worst buttons I’ve encountered in a while which says a lot. They are molded into the case in such a way as to not provide any movement (i.e. poorly designed). TUDIA did mark them so you can visible see what button is what not that it matters because you can’t press them with this case on. The HTC 10 has firmer buttons as it stands, so that added to the molded TUDIA buttons with no thinner section to allow them to slightly move kills this case. There’s a good reason many case manufactures always post about having responsible buttons (the good case manufactures that is) because it can make or break an otherwise decent/great case.
Overall: 5 /10 TUDIA fell short for me here in many ways: The first was the amount of mold marks, mold lines etc that were present on the case. Secondly their horrible excuse for buttons was the final nail in the coffin here because it renders the case unusable. I rarely rate a case at a 5 (or below), but it is well deserved in this instance.

I'm what they call a casaholic, so I tend to accumulate a plethora of cases. I will post reviews of my cases below (some of you may have seen my other OP's in the S7 Edge and Nexus 6P forums). I will keep this OP updated with plenty of details over time.
So far my first batch of case reviews will include: Spigen Rugged Armor, Spigen Thin Fit, Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Diztronic TPU, and the Incipio Octane
My HTC10 isn't arriving until Tuesday, but I have all of the cases except the Incipio on hand right now. I will post the reviews promptly upon getting my phone so stay tuned!
Just a quick update: If anyone has any case suggestions, or reviews they would like to see, leave a comment below. I will have a look at each recommendation and decide if I will add a review for that particular case as I have done with my other phones.
Mods: I'm reserving a few posts for pictures due to the large amount I plan to include for each case review. Please don't delete any of them because it makes life harder when things are scattered. Thank you in advance!

I had one for my S7 Edge but it arrived bent like a bananas. You can read my review if it via the S7 Edge case OP in my signature. I won't be buying another Oynx case from them, although u would like a Ringke Slim if they decide to make one.

surely the fact that it was bent was an accident not a standard feature! doesn't mean the case is bad necessarily...

Well, the case wasn't exactly great if you read the review I wrote. I liked some aspects of it, but compared to some other ones I had it wasn't as good as it could be given Ringke's other products I own. I respect your opinion on the case, however, I just found the edges to be very sharp among the things I disliked. I own a lot of cases, and if one doesn't fit the bill or check all of the right boxes I will let people know. I try to be as unbiased as I can he to help people make choosing a case easier. I understand that sometimes I will write a review (rhino Shield bumper for the 6P) that a lot of people really disagreed with, yet thats the nature of different perspectives. I still hope to provide the best reviews that I can given the circumstances, so with that being said I will consider trying one for my HTC 10 when they eventually get released. I have 5 cases so far with many more planned to come once I get my phone. I was trying to see what Ringke had planned, but their website is down (product pages are showing an error message), so I'll just have to wait and see what gets released from other companies that I can add to my review OP.
HTC let me know today that my order won't ship until late June so I cancelled it in favor of waiting for T-Mobile assuming they will release it before then. I will wait until Friday before finding another place to buy one online so I can post the reviews.
If you have any questions, or suggestions that I could help with your welcome to ask away. I am still slighlty confused as to why Spigen has such large cutouts on the top of their cases, and I'm still awaiting their response to that question.

Stay tuned for some reviews tonight! My HTC10 is out for delivery, so I will post a few of my case reviews for everyone.
Out of these 4 cases that I have on hand which ones does everyone want to see first?
-Spigen Ultra Hybrid
-Spigen Rugged Armor
-Spigen thin fit
Diztronic TPU

I do things a little differently than most people. You can view my previous work (some of it at least) via my signature. I've been doing case reviews for the past few phones which are very popular, so I wanted to continue my detailed reviews to help members out.

I have seen your reviews. Not too many different ways or styles to discuss a 10 dollar piece of plastic. Either way, have it at.

I'm always open to criticism, or comments so you can be the judge when I post them. If you don't like them it's okay with me

OP Updated
Reviews added:
-Diztronic TPU
-Spigen Ultra Hybrid
-Dimensions Table in post #2

Saw your reviews with the S7 Edge.
Some people might not be able to speak into detail about a $10 piece of plastic like you.
Really good man. So far I have all three Spigen cases. They are all lovely and can be used for different occasions.
How you liking the 10 compared to the S7E?

Thank you, there is a lot that can be said if someone wants to
I like my Spigen cases too aside from the weird top cutout. I'll post the other two reviews tomorrow, and hopefully my other cases will start to trickle in.
I like the software better, but the camera is lacking a lot. My battery life has been mediocre too so far, but this is only day 1. I'm going to unlock my phone then root it before I decide on the performance and battery life. I hope HTC fixes the camera since that last update didn't help that much.

What kind of screen protector are you using for your phone?

Spigen crystal film since I've heard a TGSP won't fit properly due to these 2.5D edge

I have seen reviews of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid that report ghosting when taking pictures with flash on, due to the clear case. Did you test that out by chance? If not, would you be able to? That would be a deal-breaker for me. Thank you for doing these!

I have not tested it, but I will check for you. I might wait until it gets a little darker outside (or take one in a dark room) before checking to confirm that. I completely agree which is why I like how Incipio has a black border around their camera cutout. I will post a review of the Octane case when it arrives (should be great based on my S7 Edge version). If you have any other questions feel free to let me know. I enjoy helping people out, especially when it comes to accessories!

I have been binging on Oneplus 7 Pro review videos and the phone seems to come with a clear TPU case in the box. Not sure if that is for all variants though. I was going to order a clear case off Amazon, but I'll wait until I see if it comes with one.

But they Must lower the price.

I went through Amazon today to find a screen protector and a case, some of them already have reviews that are 10 days old, those paid reviews don't make the choice easier...

It will be interesting to see which ones work well with a good screen protector

I like thin cases so I ordered a Nillkin https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RSGPBRT/ref=twister_B07DCQVJX4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I had one on my McLaren for months. Took a few drops, works well, minimum bulk and weight.

Just wished it had a magnetic back like the Nillkin I'm using for the 6T.

Still waiting for the phone but I have already ordered:

Official One Plus Silicone Case (Red) for 7 pro
Any word regarding the Red Silicone Case for the 7 pro? Loved it on my 6T!

dbrand grip <3 comes in 1 month
https://dbrand.com/shop/grip/oneplus-7-pro-cases

I may try that DBrand Grip case when it comes out. I heard good things about that case.

Really thinking about upgrading from my 1+5... You guys would trust in a bumper (only edge covering) to protect this phone? what do you think about that kind of "cases"?

I'm looking on Amazon but it seems that most the ones at the top are full of fake reviews. Some of them have 5+ reviews and none are even verified purchases...
I may just check out a couple of the 10 dollar ones and see how well they work.

I got that one and worse case returning it is easy if there are issues

Osophter Dual Layer Cases Hard
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q1NFX8L..._4S12Cb6FBFTMZ
I ordered in dark cyan.
I like the Ringke but it won't arrive when I get the phone.
My phones always have a case.
I like the Karbon case from Oneplus, I just didn't want to fork over close to $40 for a case.

I went with this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q4MKCN2
No idea how good it is, but I'll update once I get it.
