I don't have any problems with the USB cover at all. :shrug: I squish it up and use the edge of my nail to pop it open.

That's good to hear! I might try the Defender out as I want a holster type case.

Wow, that will make this phone HUGE...

but you'll certainly be well protected

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

I don't have nails... Bite them. (hey don't judge, it stops me from smoking ;) )

When i push it up, the gray rubber pushes up towards the screen... you can actually see it separate from the black plastic part of the case...

I'll likely just cut it off.

I really wanted a Speck case, but they only had them in white(not a fan) and a crazy purple & blue thing (REALLY not a fan)

well I can't afford a really nice car so I have to overcompensate somehow

AGF Case from ATT

I got this one over the Speck and Otterbox, after trying each of them on my phone. Feels like it's just part of the phone basically. Love it and highly recommend it.

If you are a road warrior and have big hands I reccomend theo Otter Box Defender Series.

Yes, it is pricey, but it also is the best case on the market with built-in shock & screen protection.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 93795311:
some how I couldn't find the Speck case on their website, so I turned and ordered the Rock Barely case from ebay as suggested.

here is the link

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
I'm sensing some spam here...

That said, I prefer cases with a bit of rubber in them for shock absorbing reasons.

BUT I'm finding the commuter to be a bit large... Anyone with experience with both know if the speck is noticeably thinner in hand?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yh823:
I bought the Speck case at the ATT store. they only had 2 colors white and a purple one. If you go to the first page of this thread you can see pictures of mine. also it has rubber on the inside and it is shock absorbent. outterbox is good but expensive for the defender and has to many parts/pieces

Have both cases. The speck case is definitely less bulky.

I have the leather like AGF case from att store, its a TIGHT fit, but AWESOME case,

my other vivid has a speck case, as the person i got it from choose it, i will be returning it for another AGF leather (esk) case.....

no screen protector, i like to let it all hang out.

37 is alot for a case, but its a NICE case, i have the same for my sgs2, and they match and look very elegant.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] propofokgov:
Just an FYI to all those looking for a case. If you enjoy TPU cases as much as I do, eBay.com has a HUGE selection of TPU cases for the Vivid as well as hard plastic and silicone shells. Personally, I favor TPU because of it's flexibility AND durability, but my opinion is not the opinion of the majority.

ebay.com for Vivid
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I agree. I like TPU cases a lot. They don't stick and drag like silicone or rubber, yet are durable and very protective. Here's one listing on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-TPU-G...992943?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item23161f1c2f

Might get this, or the leather case mentioned above.. wait, is the leather inlay one made of that soft sticky gel kind of material? Because if it is, I'm not getting it.

I hope Body Glove comes out with a case.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:
Just picked up the white Speck case for my white Vivid, and I have to say I love it. It's surprisingly not bulky (yeah, it makes the phone a bit thicker, but not much at all). And to be honest, on the white phone, it just matches and looks great!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jgav71:
I looked at that case on ebay as well. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it covers the speaker on the back of the phone...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] coolren:
because of you i took the white speck case back. I hated it. loving the agf case even more than the tpu case i got from amazon.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I didn't even notice that. Forget it then haha.

Is the rubber on the AGF case similar to TPU? Or is it more like soft silicone. The website says hard rubber, so I'm guessing it's more like TPU.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CEaton:
I too LOVE the AGF case.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] blopez24:
It's a hard rubber not silicone I love this case as well.

Just got back from AT&T. I got the AGF hard rubber and leather case, it's awesome. A really tight fit, very durable feeling. Power button is a little hard to hit now but not a deal breaker. The leather insert is a great touch.

Seidio has their Vivid page up but the cases are still "under development". Here's the link for future reference though.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
I picked up the Otterbox Commuter as it really is an excellent case in terms of looks and protection, but I really can't get over At&t's decision to only carry the 2 tone Gray/Black combination. So I returned it and picked up the AGF case.

The AGF case so far feels pretty good, but is it just me or is AGF's power button SUPER HARD to press?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
I've been trying to hold off from buying the Commuter online in hopes of some more options (Seidio), but I might do it tonight or tomorrow. Plus when you buy the OB retail package it comes with a screen protector that I find isn't too bad usually. I don't really like screen protectors, but they do seem to control some of the smudges so I'm not always wiping my phone with a sleeve or whatever.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zzoinks:
My wife got me the Otterbox impact, but it's too bulky and too hard to get in/out of my pockets. I went back to the AT&T store and checked out the other cases, but didn't like any of their other cases. The AGF one with the leather inlay was nice, but the power button was WAY too hard to operate.

So I decided to give this a try:

I just bought one through ebay. The red looked interesting, but I couldn't tell if I really liked the color so I told them I wanted black but that I wouldn't complain if they decided to throw in both colors.

I'll take some pictures whenever it arrived. Until then, I'll be using the OtterBox just so that I've got something on it.

I ordered this to hold me until ZAGG release the full body protection for Vivid.

http://www.all4cellular.com/writeright-universal-screen-protector-kit-10-piece.html
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] deepsunn:
I've got the Commuter series on mine and I'm impressed. The two piece protection gives me some peace of mine, as I work on 20-30 ft ladders. I also like that the inner piece is rubber, as it seems a lot less likely to scuff up the plastic body of the phone. I read a thread elsewhere where someone dropped theirs, without a case or screen protector, onto a tile floor and it came out completely unscathed, so maybe a plastic case won't scuff it up but I don't really want to find out..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Spartoi:
I ordered this for my screen protector because it seemed like a good price for a good quality protector.

I ordered the ebay case as well. I wanted to retain the stock look with minimun bulk, black color is fine with me, those cases look pretty sick though, I have tried the white spark?(I think that is what its called) and the leather case. The power button is so fricking hard to press on those, I returned them and got the otterbox cheapest case($25) until I can get the ebay case.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
For those of you looking for good screen protector, check out Realook on amazon. The cut is excellent and the clarity is also very very good.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
I also have the AGF one and like it. I was afraid I could damage the power button because of the hard press on tje silicone case, so I cut the top part along the button with a cutter to release some of the pressure. It works a little better for me now.

great job

can you post pics with your "new" case
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cbronson41:
I've bought the skinomi screen protectors for my tilt 2, inspire, 2 touchpads (and got the skin protectors for the TP, turned out great!) and 3 coworkers have got them on my suggestion. I can tell you that they are great screen protectors. Only thing to remember is don't put on a case or in and out of a holster until the phone has had overnight to set. Its a wet application, and no never a problem with device getting wet inside, so it needs time to dry. Also you can get them cheaper on amazon.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
Hope it can be seen in this pics. Works better now, I can actually feel the "click" now :-)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohcho:
For those who have the Rock case, what's the outside finish like? Is it smooth or does it provide a good grip. I'm looking for a case, but I don't want to add bulk to it as it's already pretty big in my hand, but the smooth sides are so slippery I'm afraid I'm going to drop it.

The seidio website is now shipping the surface case and holster
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] fpm360:
I've been looking at different options and was considering the Skinomi screen protector until I saw the install process. There is no way I'm going to be spraying water on my screen. The install process for the Skinomi is similar to installing tints on a car. Zagg was another option, but the orange peel look is just hideous if you ask me. I may just swing by Best Buy or an At&t store to pick up a set. If that fails then I will try the Realook. I haven't used a screen protector on my Vivid yet and its been pretty good with handling smudges and scratches. I am almost tempted to just leaving it like that.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rawb123456:
Lol...skinomi is pretty bad ass. The water scared me for a minute too. But it reduces chance of air bubbles and allows you to position the screen protector perfectly.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Looking on Ebay for some cases, I've noticed most of them don't have a slit for the speaker on the back. I'm really glad someone pointed that out on a case before, because I would've never looked for it.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] fpm360:
Does the skinomi leave that orange peel look and feel? I'm worried about water seeping in through the perimeter of the screen since the plastic frame comes up a little higher. Do you have any tips you can share?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Thinking about a rock case... but I've seen a lot of times when those hard cases come off when dropped and spew out the battery door and battery. TPU cases never really just fall off when dropped. Also, TPU cases tend to be a bit more grippy. That Rock one almost looks too smooth.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohcho:
^ I've been trying to ask if those Rock cases have a smooth or textured/grippy exterior. I ordered a TPU case but am waiting for it, but I like the look of the Rock case, but if it's smooth, then there's no point.

Right now, I'm so afraid of dropping my HTC Raider because the sides are so smooth, it always feels like it's going to slip out of my hands.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I think just by the pictures you can tell that case is really smooth. Heck, it's probably more smooth than the plastic sides of the phone without a case. Otherwise, it does look really cool. I just see it as too much of a risk of falling out of my hand or pockets.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lgday:
to try rock one，you would like it.feels very good in hands.the pics dont looks good.the real case very nice.put case on face，feels very smooth and comfortable.but i am not 100% guarantee that case protect your phone complete,it is hard case not like TPU GEL case fully cover.and that case a bit tight put it on the phone，it is a good case.

---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

yes，it is more smooth than pics and looks cool.

also it may much of a risk of falling out ，but a bit tight put it on phone.a bit difficult take it off the phone
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohcho:
^ so the Rock case IS smooth? Sorry, but your language is a bit hard to understand.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lgday:
sorry made you confusing, i wasnt born in a english language country.

the case is smooth，feels nice in hand.these are want to explain to you
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohcho:
Ok so even though it's smooth, does it feel like it's going to slip out of your hand? I had an older HTC Desire Z (G2 in the US) and it had a smooth back, but the back had a grippy, rubbery type of texture that helped you hold it. Does the rock case have a grippy texture?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lgday:
can you tell me what is ’grippy‘ meaning？or synonyms，you know case-mate barely case，spend 8.88pounds get rock case.then bring your case to phone4u；carphone warehouse； t-mobile store or other carriers find a case-mate barely case.open package compare Rock with Case-mate you will find what different between them，I did this in Orange UK store before.if you dont like Rock，you can return and get money back.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohcho:
Grip - http://www.yourdictionary.com/grip

I know there's a language barrier here, but I don't think my question is too hard to understand.

You said that the case has a smooth finish, but is it slippery like the sides of the phone itself? I've had an another phone that has a smooth finish, but will not slip out of my hand.

I'd rather not buy something and have to return it if I don't like it, hence my questions here.

Went ahead and bought the Diztronic case from Ebay for around $9 free shipping. It is TPU and has a matte finish on the back, and gloss finish on the sides, so I don't think I will have any issues with grip because the matte is only on the back. It looks pretty darn thin too, just like that Rock case. Here is a link http://www.ebay.com/itm/250932114415?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

White Speck Candy shell

I really like this case. It feels great and seems to protect nicely. It is quite slim with minimal bulk added.

That black Moshi protector totally ruins the look IMO. AT&T now carries the white version, FYI.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Intertrochanterica:
I know it. I personally hate the Moshi but is was all I could get until my good ones came. Now I just really don't feel like doing a wet install of the new one. I will get around to it. I was going to do a review also as it is a different brand. I.just got complacent with the moshi I guess.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
The price is right. I used a screen protector on my old HD2 that used water as part of the installation process. It was the best screen installation I had done. Maybe the thin film of water prevents air bubbles?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] saint168:
Using water in the installation process does prevent air bubbles. The best part is you can adjust the placement of the protector before it dry, not possible with the sticky one.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Devin.Morris.007:
I have an OtterBox Defender on mine. I actually like this case better than the OBD that I had on my iPhone 3GS. The iPhone box just seems like it adds too much extra mass to the phone. The box for the Vivid doesnt seem to make it feel as bulky as my iPhone felt with one on. My only criticism on it is on the built in screen protector. IMO, It kind of makes the screen a little cloudy. but Ive used iPhone 4's and 4S' with OBD cases on them and they look the same way, so I guess its just the material they are using now, as I didnt have that problem with the one on my 3GS, but the screen protector on it wasnt as scratch resistant as this one. I also dont have the problem with air bubbles underneath the screen protector on this one the way I did on my iPhone 3GS. Overall I would rate it a 9.5 out of 10. Definitely worth the money.
