[HTC Inspire 4G] LaGeek:
I bought the black case on ebay, with a screen protector and a car charger for 5.99. Look up TPU Rubber Skin Case+LCD+Car Charger For HTC Inspire 4G (I bought mine from itrimming). I really like the case. It doesnt make the phone bulky, looks good and provides good protection. And the screen protector which came with it is an Insten protector, very easy to put on, and very good as well. I was pretty surprised by its quality, considering other good screen protectors go for 6 to 10 bucks for the screen protector alone and seemed like a pain to put on(one of them needed 24 hours without battery, ugh). This one was 5 mins, and cant even see it on my phone now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
Just got my Defender. Pretty impressed. The screen cover is much smoother than the Zagg Invisible shield. It is quite large. The belt clip is enormous. GPS seems fine so far, but it hasn't left my room yet. I think it's well protected and still smaller than my shirt pocket.
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
I'm using the same case but the black version. Awesome case! I highly recommend this case!

I have a cheap ass Amzer rubber case that is absolutely awful, stay away.

I'm using the Otterbox Commuter case I like it alot pretty good for 15 bucks
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
I have otterbox commuter = best protection but adds a little bulk, back side of case is slippery.

TPU rubber skin case for $4 ... ok protection but does not add bulk...
[HTC Inspire 4G] acmys:
I think I've finally found the best case. Got the Case Mate Tough off eBay new for $16, great deal.

It blocks GPS a little (9/9 lock vs maybe 3/3 lock indoors), but outdoors definitely not a problem. I live in extremely suburbia with trees, close to NYC, so we definitely have some decent coverage here.

It works great. Only problem at first was (I'm a kid) that it was hard to hold my phone and read Pulse at the same time lying on my back/side, but I've gotten used to it.

The case works amazingly well - dropped it a bunch of times by accident. Ran over the back side on asphalt using my bike when I was using it as a bike computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
i personally use the red trident aegis on my inspire it works great if dropped my phone and it just bounces and when it hits the hard part of the case it stops, the screen is recessed so as to not get scratched and came with a screen protector (cheap one that i recently had to take off but was nice of them to throw in) considering getting one if these just for the extra juice http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1508des/htc-desire-inspire.html but i highly recommend the aegis
[HTC Inspire 4G] emperorxavier:
yes this is truly a great case
[HTC Inspire 4G] emperorxavier:
wow this is a sexy-ass case.. love it thanks for the sharing dude
[HTC Inspire 4G] jayv81:
I have a otterbox commuter case and my girlfriend has the spec case both seem to offer great protection. We did have to return the spec case because on the bottom of the case by the usb port cracked. Only wish spec would put out more colors
[HTC Inspire 4G] limezone:
I just recently got a Seidio Innocase Active. I liked it much better than the otterbox commuter. The back of the otterbox was way too slickery. I'm very pleased with this case and would reccomend it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
I just bought the best buys version of the otterbox deffender...amazing case/holster!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mister J:
I use the tpu case from Amazon and it works flawlessly! Best of all, only like $15 with shipping and such.

Defender .
[HTC Inspire 4G] Xenithflare:
I recently bought two of the SwitchEasy CapsuleRebel cases for my iPhone4, and I love them so much I was hoping I could find something similar for my Inspire. Lo and behold:

A fishbone-esque dual case!

Like the CapsuleRebel, they come in two parts; a softtouch silicone, and a harder plastic that snaps around it. Adds little bulk and offers decent protection, and allows the phone to fit into a holster (I use the EMPIRE pouches available on Amazon; fits smaller phones like the LG Quantum and iPhone4 as well as the larger Inspire perfectly, which boggles my mind). I'm definitely picking one of these up soon.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahm12:
i bought this one.. $10

its not that bad..

[HTC Inspire 4G] ahm12:
thats the one i bought, look at my post above this one.. $10..
[HTC Inspire 4G] jessehclark:
i got a casemate tough for $15. amazing case. way easier to remove if needed than an otterbox. plus it doesnt have that build in screen protector, which i hate.

i also picked up a cheap black tpu wave case from ebay for 69 cents. i like it A LOT but obviously not as tough as the casemate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
I wish switcheady made cases.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JamesR913:
Just so you know if you flash a lot of ROMs and have to pull the battery because of boot loops you might end up breaking the upper right corner of the had plastic part off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sparker366:
Haven't got this yet but for 8 bucks shipped it will be worth it. Had a similar one for my captivate and it worked great.

Working as a firefighter part time, the only case for my phone is the Otterbox Defender. I have had phones dropped off of our engine and no damage at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronr9286t:
Inspire Case

I seem to be a little different. For me, a case must protect not only the phone's case but the screen as well.

For my last several phones (including the iPhone), I've gotten one of these:

http://www.boxwave.com/htc-inspire-...nio-leather-htc-inspire-4g-case/bwpdd/cw-zgcc

$29.95 from Boxwave, and the one I got for my iPhone 3GS is going strong after 2 years of use.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sparker366:
Just got the case today. Exactly what I wanted. Here are photos of my old 3 dollar case 1st 2 pictures and my new 3 dollar case last 4 pictures.

[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
I just got the Otter Box Commuter on Ebay for about $23 with shipping. So far seems really nice. I mainly wanted something to just protect for everyday use (Mostly office and travel work). And it is not to bulky for my pocket.
[HTC Inspire 4G] draggindakota:
I have a Trident Aegis in black for my Inspire. For it for $22 shipped from ebay. Overall I love it. http://www.tridentcase.com/product_57_73.html

Pros:

1. Thick corners on the silicone skin.

2. Comes with a screen protector.

3. Hard plastic skin covers the sides and top, and is rubberized.

4. Gives the phone a nice, stable feel with no worries of slipping.

5. My volume up button works again! (phone got wet and it would not work)

6. Hard plastic part is available in multiple colors with the black silicone skin. Other colored skins can be ordered.

Cons:

1. Adds bulk to the phone. I happen to like the bulk though and it still fits my pocket nicely.

2. The silicone & rubberized coating is a magnet for pocket lint, but that is typical of this type of case.

3. The rubberized coating on mine is scratching off. I'm not the easiest person on a phone though. It gets tossed around the garage, in the dry box on my 4 wheeler etc. so take that as you will.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tberg38:
I love the otterbox commuter. I drop my phone a lot and it shows no ill effects at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Luminate7s:
I have the Case-Mate Tough case and I really like it, the phone is still slim and light.

The one there selling at bestbuy has been great!

The other my sis ran over my phone and it came out just fine!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kuronen:
I like my Powerskin case. Not for protection mind you since I think it wouldn't hold up well, but because it doubles my battery life. For protection, my Sedio case has held up great even after a dozen drops on cement!
[HTC Inspire 4G] cordell507:
netimes.com has dozens of cases but i use the body glove gel case, it's super thin and protrudes above the screen just enough to protect it
[HTC Inspire 4G] flappjaxxx:
Case-mate Tough Case for me. Have one on my Inspire 4G and I had one for my Nexus One. I love it because it seems to protect pretty well and doesn't add a lot of bulk.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
I'm also trying to find a new case to buy for our Inspire 4G's.

The several we have used thus far create a major loss of GPS signal and some minor loss on tower signal according to GPS Status and OpenSignal.

If anyone has time to test their cases and post inside/outside results of having their case on/off, that would be cool.

I'd request those posts be on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1245451 so that it is under a topic discussing cases + signal quality.

But, I'll keep watching here too!
[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
I bought the seido innocase or whatever it is called.

Tested it with my old case and without any cases using my aGPS Patch 2.0. Boom. Innocase is much better than the old one.

GPS antenna is on the same plate the LED flash is on. The innocase has a large hole that seems to make the difference compared to my old case. But, the antenna is still covered slightly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cornymccoy:
I am really happy with my otterbox commuter, the defender was too bulky for my tastes as well and I like the hard plastic of this one compared to the rubbery'ness ( :b ) of the defender.
[HTC Inspire 4G] karlkarloff:
I have the Otterbox Commuter and it works really well for me. Not as big and bulky as the Defender, but seems to protect my phone rather well. I've dropped it more than once, and generally throw it around in my toolbox at work, with no ill effects whatsoever. My only complaint is the hard plastic back piece is really slippery. Had it sitting on my dash and took a corner and out the window it went. Luckily the case saved the phone, not even a scratch.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nylo:
The fact it broke is what possibly saved it. The case absorbed the energy, not the phone.

Man, you can actually pee holding your phone? I need both hands to do my business. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] flipcrab85:
otterbox defender, hands down!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mpulford311:
I'm using the Platinum Series Defender case from Best Buy. Then a Zagg Invisible shield for the screen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DynamiteRave:
I think i'm using the same one that you have minus the screen protector. I've dropped my phone from about 8 feet high onto concrete and no broken phone or scratched screen!

Zombies ate my Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] mpulford311:
if its got a 3 piece construction then that is the one. Has a hard plastic case on first layer than a rubber outer layer than another outer shell to hold the rubber layer on. and it also has a belt clip. this thing is crazy but seems to do the job.
[HTC Inspire 4G] eryk4381:
I have a speck case and my testing results have confirmed that it does indeed degrade performance with GPS. I'm wondering if anyone has any other cases they have tested that don't affect gps as much. Any case reviews, screenshots?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
Just responded to your same question on my agps patch thread. Go with the seido I suggested.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lloydkant:
i trust only and only in Otter Box Cases...my Inspire 4G, The Iphone 4 of my wife and my Torch 9800 drop several times and everything works perfect...pure protection :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] WManzo123:
HTC Inspire 4G/ Desire HD Rubber TPU Skin Case @ amazon

Probably not the best case out there but in my opinion for the price that I got the case for it does an excellent job protecting my phone. I've dropped my phone a couple of times and I've had no problems with my phone. $2 well spent ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] rhys42:
I got the Otterbox Commuter but as it didn't fit into my desk cradle at work (where the phone spends 80% of its waking hours) it wasn't really practical for me. But, I still get use out of it as a car holder. I just drilled a hole into the hard shell and used the screw from my old Tilt's Proclip holder to attach it to the swivel mount on the dash.

It's a bit of a PITA to take in and out since you have to put the phone into the soft shell, then wedge it into the hard shell, attach cables, etc. but since I only use the car mount on long trips it isn't too much trouble and it gets the job done.
[HTC Inspire 4G] virusmonk3y:
Just ordered....

Just ordered this earlier today. Have heard some good things and looks great on the phone. shopped (done crappy I know lol) a screen from my phone on the stock picture and can't wait for it to come in.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
Interested in the results. I'm skeptical because the gps units antenna is covered further which tends to degrade your gps reception and quality heavily.

I only recommend the case I use for our inspires on my agps patch thread.

But that stock photo looks neat....
[HTC Inspire 4G] virusmonk3y:
I have a similar but uglier case now and the coverage is about the same as the one I ordered so shouldn't make much of a difference. It got shipped today and will post my results.

Sent from the internets
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cmrune:
I personally use the qmadix case/holster. Check it out, its been great for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] virusmonk3y:
As stated in my previous comment, I ordered this and it came in today. For some reason it was not what I was expecting (not really sure what I was expecting to be honest lol) but so far I like it. Have no complaints. Also, it was asked about GPS and I have not noticed any difference.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gamero92:
So good if cellphones were made to never need cases.

i have a S-line Tpu Case on my Inspire off amazon.com, and i loved it so much i order the black and white one's to match the blue one tryin to find the orange now!it's a hunt
[HTC Inspire 4G] sjs87:
I've had my inspire since it first released for AT&T so it's been about a year. I bought a commuter otter box as soon as it was available. Put the phone through hell (fell off of a 15' ladder, through it off my roof, etc.) I took it off for the first time yesterday because I used a friend of mine's and I loved how sleek it felt without the case. Forgot it was on my lap just now while getting out my car and of course it landed on the concrete face down and now I have a crack in the bottom right corner of the screen. Well, you live and you learn.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sleezeep:
I bought the Case-Mate Tough Case for my Inspire about 6 months ago. It may not be the prettiest case around, but i think as far as sub $20 cases go i couldn't have done much better. It has withstood several drops from over 5 feet onto concrete, asphalt, as well as some indoor conditions. It actually protects the phone!
[HTC Inspire 4G] 95dawg:
Generic TPU case from eBay. Few bucks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
Case mate 2 piece case... Inside silicon, outside hard plastic... Best case ever
[HTC Inspire 4G] DynamiteRave:
I wish I knew what my case was called! Anyway, the case I have is the hard plastic one from best buy and the like. I've dropped my phone about 30 times once from a height of 8 feet or so onto concrete. No scratches or anything.. the case is cracked however.

Zombies ate my Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rakkesh27:
I got a case from casemate..its very good..made for Inspire 4g :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ssssschwartz:
I bought a case about 3 weeks into getting my phone and decided upon a Case Mate Barely there, despite having barely any knowledge of them prior.

I can say I have not been disappointed, there has not been any damage to my phone (Well actually just some damage from going to the beach and letting sand get behind the case and not cleaning it for a week and then finding it had scratched the coating just around the camera a little, but it's not a big deal and I learned a lesson just to shake out the case every once in a while)

I have literally threw the phone with the case on it at a wall, not on purpose, I sneezed and tripped over my sisters leg causing me to throw it at the wall 15 feet away.

They get a 5/5 from me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nylo:
I just got a used Inspire that came with a Speck Candy Shell case in a lovely sewage gray.... :( For just a cover its not too bad. Hard to get on hard to get off, but the fit is nice and snug. I think I will eventually will look into an Otterbox Defender. I have one for my Tilt 2 and a Sammy Infuse and I swear by them.

Note: I have read a few reviews the Otterbox Defender for the Inspire/Desire has a bit of a habit of partially coming off while pulling it out of pockets, etc... The one I have for my Infuse seems to be made out of a hard rubber. Hence its a ***** to get on/off, but I do like the harder material. I think Otterbox did a due-over with a softer silicon base rubber. The catch is it does come off easier... I was also told is a hair puller. :eek:

2nd Note: I have dropped my Infuse on my concrete garage floor twice with no damage. Im 6.0' tall. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] dylando808:
i've had my Inspire for just over a year and i've had like 5 different cases for it. i get bored extremely quickly.

here are the ones i had in the order i got them:

a generic silicone case (ordered when i got the phone)

a Casemate Pop! (white)

generic hard plastic case

a 2nd Casemate Pop! (black) first one broke after a fall.. :p phone was undamaged :D

and just recently a Casemate Barely There (white). i love how it adds almost no bulk! my current favorite!

so as you can see i kinda like Casemate.. lol! decent products at alright prices if you know where to look. but no matter what case i get, i always end up taking it off after a month because i like using the phone naked.. dangerous habit but oh well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] solocommand:
I have to swear by Otterbox. I'm currently using an Otterbox Communter for my personal phone, and an Otterbox Defender for my work phone. Cannot praise either of these cases enough. My work phone takes a bit more punishment than my personal phone, so the extra protection helps a bit.
[HTC Inspire 4G] badst33l:
I have the same case and work outside and have dropped this phone so many times I've lost count, but it still works like a charm.:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
I have had this case for over a year. Love it! It is very slim and looks good as you can tell. One nice thing about it is the grip that it adds with the textured sides, and the other really nice part is the fact that it makes it easier to hit the power/volume rocker.

Two thumbs up from me!
[HTC Inspire 4G] rressler95:
I like the Otter Box Defender. It is a little on the bulky side at first, but you get used to it
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
Yup I've had that tpu s-line case for a year now and I love it.

Just last week I left my phone on the roof of my car with ear buds plugged in. Forgot it up there and it fell off going 55 mph. The case got a little scuffed but the phone still works 100% and doesn't have a scratch!! The ear buds didn't fair so well...
[HTC Inspire 4G] stl_Dik:
I have the $8 black fishbone case off eBay. Came with a nice screen protector... I just don't feel like spending 50 bucks on a name brand. I like the way it looks a feels too.

SPECK offers some good cases for good protection, give em a shot.

[HTC Inspire 4G] kennethsime:
I bought the casemate (cm) one from AT&T when I picked up the phone, at the time it was the only one out so far. I've been really happy with it.

It's a two-part case (soft silicone, hard plastic) that's tightly fitting and unobtrusive. I actually just chipped it this week finally, one corner of the hard case is missing but it doesn't really effect it. I'm actually not sure how it happened, lol, I've dropped this things at least ten times from height in the past year and a half and it never broke. Importantly, the inner rubber lining comes out on top, kinda embedding the screen a bit so if it drops on its face the screen doesn't touch asphault/whatever (also helps you get a grip).

Anyway, they're $25 from casemate, I'm sure you could pick one up cheaper somewhere. Well worth the money.

I've never used an otterbox, but I love my Trident case.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Solarenemy68:
Ottorbox hands down. You can throw against a wall and not hurt the phone in the least bit. To top it all you can do it more than once.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fratermus:
My used Inspire came with a Case-Mate Barely There, which could reasonably be called the Better Than Nothing. There is no front-protecting lip on this case and the front corners/edges of the phone were dinged up where the case left them exposed. It will prevent the phone from getting side/back scuffs but that's all I'd count on.

I bought a Case-Mate Tough which really suits my needs. Form-fitting, dual density (like my motorcycle armor), and very clean/plain, no needless bulk. Cased phone still fits easily in shirt pockets. Not as "g-shock" as the Otterbox, but it also lacks the bulk and $$$ of the 'box. This one was under $8 (shipped) off Amazon, still came with the $34.99 ATT sticker on the box. That's how they get ya.

Tested GPS reception using GPS status; no difference noted with either case compared to naked phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MrImSoGreat:
I bought a case from Fry's that was pretty sturdy and had a nice grip to it. I forget the brand. It lasted me about 10 months... until my dog decided to gnaw it off of my phone and chew it. Looking for a new case now, I shall lurk through this thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] devinelmore:
I bought the otterbox shortly after I got my baby home... Yes it does add bulk but I kid u not... One day I dropped my phone while getting in to the car and didn't realize it till like 20 min later we had to drive back to find it and when we did it had tire tracks across the back... My heart sunk somebody (probably us) drove over my phone as it sat alone on the side of the road... I gathered myself enough courage to pick up what I thought for sure would be a completely shattered phone... My phone was and still is 100% unharmed!!! Otterbox saved my phones life!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] PickledJaW:
I use the Fishbone cases you can buy off eBay. They are like 4 or 5 dollars and they work very well. They don't add a lot of bulk to the phone like the Otterboxes do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] evazion:
Otter box commuter its not too bulky like the defender
[HTC Inspire 4G] devinelmore:
Fishbone??? Ima have to look into one cause I'm not liking how fat my otter box makes my phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] unometooo:
Agreed, I use the commuter also. Comes with a warranty, my case cracked, I called otter box and they sent me a new one in less than a week.
