The best case I have found so far.Use mine everyday working construction. The only thing that could make the otter box better, if there was some type of clear screen over the speaker on the front to stop dust.

durability?????????????

nobody here mention the durability

i have the commuter one, and it's durability is so bad

it just last 4 months before the hard plastic near camera broke apart

im quietly dissapointed with the otterbox commuter
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
I've heard that can be a common problem with the commuter case. But this is a thread about the defender case... it is very sturdy and I'm sure it will not have that problem.
[HD2 Accessories] neil_swann80:
Anyone else noticed that callers hear an echo when they call your HD2 with this case on? I have to turn the volume to it's lowest setting when anyone calls me.
[HD2 Accessories] mrnick101:
Can anyone recommend a good car mount that goes well w/ the defender case?

I see a lot of options out there, but would like to feedback from someone who has used one.

Thanks
[HD2 Accessories] JWhipple:
My otterbox is still en-route to me - I haven't personally used one of these mounts, but a co-worker of mine swears by it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/SlipGrip-OtterB...Accessories&hash=item5d2b63c2be#ht_2726wt_905

I may be ordering one myself before the end of the day. If you don't like dealing with Ebay, go to www.slipgripcarmounts.com .
[HD2 Accessories] BADMOPAR:
Hi Guys, I'm working in a coal mine and I want to use my HD2 like an MP3 player. It's the headphone plug accessible with Defender case on it? And what about the micro USB for charging?
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
There's a flap at bottom of case that opens and allows access to both audio port and microusb port. I bet you could even cut a slit in the rubber flap and rig it up so you can close the flap around a headphones plug so that you can keep it closed while keeping headphones plugged in so you don't get dust in.
[HD2 Accessories] BADMOPAR:
Can somebody make a shot of closed/opened flap at bottom of case ? Thanks

Here you go. But I'd rather opt for a BT NC earbuds for your environment.

Extended battery mod!

I just finished a mod on my Defender to fit the extended battery!!

Like a few of you in this thread I use my HD2 at work in a dusty environment, but i'm also out for long periods and my battery doesnt always make it through the day, yeah ive got a spare but i dont wana have to take my phone out of its case to change it :eek:

So here it is, not great photos cos its late, I will update soon with some better pics. I'm just pleased to have done it. Ive been thinking about doing it for a while but ive been too scared :eek: I reckon its worked out pretty well... (the case was pretty battered before i started!):D

used a dremel to cut the back out, chopped down the plastic back that came with the extended battery then glued to the back and reinforced with epoxy putty on the inside, I had to cut the rubber as i woulnt stretch over the new bulge, so I just glued the piece onto it... Not extremely pretty i admit but it works and ive never seen one like this before :p
[HD2 Accessories] halx:
Great job! I really like the idea! Could you make a photo from the side, so to see how much it adds to the thickness? Also, do you think it is possible to have the battery reliably sitting there without its plastic lid piece, with only the outer rubber shell of the case holding it in place?

By the way, I should probably have my lanyard mini mod posted here instead: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=954603
[HD2 Accessories] osrix:
Thanks! The battery's totally covered by the modded back cover so its not going anywhere! Its hard to see but i will post some better pics later for you to take a look at.

EDIT: some decentish pics of the finished mod. it could be thinner if i had left the rubber off the extended back but I thought it tidied it a bit and also adds more protection!
[HD2 Accessories] halx:
Nice pics, thanks! The real Mad Max style! :)
[HD2 Accessories] osrix:
Yeah!, i love it too used it properly today, and although it feels a bit chunky but its excellent:)

I like your lanyard mod! Maybe we should start a Defender Mod Thread :D

I also fixed the belt clip onto my bike for Sat nav through BT headset for when i'm getting round London, but now I'm gonna have to Re-Model it to fit the Defender Extreme edition! LOL
[HD2 Accessories] AntonJart:
Just got mine today in mail. Looks so cool :)

Stylus Holder?

For those of you that purchased this for their US T-Mobile version, did you guys get the stylus holder along with the holster? I just got my case, but it doesn't have it attached to the holster, just holes where it would probably go.

So is the US version suppose to come with it, or are we not suppose to get one? Thanks in advance ;)!
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
I did not receive one, I believe the site lists it as an optional accessory. No point in a stylus for a capacitive screen anyway...
[HD2 Accessories] AntonJart:
If you do some drawing it would be nice to have on.

PS: I didnt get the holder either.
[HD2 Accessories] si3eck684:
Ok I see. I guess I wasn't the only one that didn't receive one, which is good to know :). The I was going to get a stylus if it came with a holder, which was why I was looking for one (just so that I can fill the spot and use it as necessary :P). But looks like I'll be saving that money for a mini bluetooth keyboard.

Now, if there was some that we can do about all the dust that builds up on the front screen and camera lens! It's only been one day, but man does it collect dust!
[HD2 Accessories] Kameirus:
glad i found this thread cause ive been thinking about getting the otterbox

and after reading this im getting the defender

gonna order it on mon

Thanks for all the reviews of it
[HD2 Accessories] si3eck684:
Ok, so while I posted a question here on the forums, I also posted this same question on otterbox's offical website. I was expecting the same answer that you guys gave me (that it didn't/doesn't come with the US version), but they just replied saying that it should come with the stylus holder? Could he be making a mistake, or is it that we just didn't get one? Check it the Q & A section on their main site for yourself: (sorry tried to post a link but won't let me until eight post :confused:...)

Do you guys mind if you can tell us where you purchased you defender case from? I got my off a ebay... maybe that was a mistake? By the way you can get the case from amazon.com with free two day shipping if you have prime, unfortunately I found out about this one day too late :(. Let us know guys!
[HD2 Accessories] halx:
One more important note about the defender (and perhaps the commute) case, for some reason not covered here. Many people who have the case for several months discovered that the screen cover starts sticking to the screen. That creates bubble - like spots in particular areas of the screen, which are quite noticeable and for some very annoying.

If you google for that problem you will find a lot of links for "magic" solutions involving a tricky application of a very thin layer of baby powder to the back side of the screen protector film. People believe that the effect is caused by electrostatic buildup in the film.

But they are wrong. The protector film simply became saturated with the human body liquids and therefore starts sticking to the screen. It's just too moist (greasy). To fix that, you can use the same baby powder, which is highly hydrophilic. Apply a fair amount to the inner surface and run it all over the screen by tilting the top lid several times in different directions, making sure the powder covers the entire screen surface not just sticking to it. Put the lid on the table and cover with a piece of paper. Leave it like that for at least an hour (I'm leaving it overnight). After that shake out the loose powder, use compressed air to clean the case completely. Finalize with your favorite microfiber cloth.

No sticking for another couple of months or so!
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
Got mine on Amazon.
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
My wife can't use her fingernail to select stuff, which she could do with my older resistive screens. I suppose a metal stylus would work...
[HD2 Accessories] zirconiumdragon:
I just ordered one, can't wait till it comes in:D. Go online and look up discount codes for otterbox. I found a code for 20% off incl free shipping. Saw this case in the mall but it was for a EVO 4G fitted my HD2 like a glove except all the button cut outs on the case were on the wrong side so I went to the otterbox website and ordered the right on.:cool:
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
Got mine on Amazon too. No stylus. I don't think I'd use it anyway.
[HD2 Accessories] DPMAce:
This is by far, the best accessory you can buy for the htc hd2. Protected from so much, including dust. The case is beautiful too. And just like someone earlier said, the hd2 doesn't come with a kick stand, but with this case, it does now.

I have had so much bad experience with applying screen protectors, but with this case, you don't need that skill. Just make sure the screen is clean before you put it in the case, and vioila, all set.

I actually preferred the dell streak over the htc hd2, but the streak doesn't have good support for t mobile, and the defender case for the streak doesn't look as nice as it does for the hd2.
[HD2 Accessories] demetriusdev:
Ive been looking for a Defender case and cant find one to fit the budget. Everyone on this form has bought one on ebay or amazon. Can anyone mention if its possible to get one under $30 ?
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
The US model is under $30 at Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Defe...877A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1299005389&sr=8-1

The International model is $31.

[HD2 Accessories] charleswesde:
The best case and holster I've ever had for any phone. Fits like a glove is highly durable and has a built-in screen protector. I read reviews about it before deciding to purchase and the only downside I'd seen was the added bulk but to me that was an upside. It didn't add as much size as I thought it would. Without the case the hd2 feels so fragile, its so thin it feels like it could slip through your fingers which is why I started looking around in the first place for a case. If you're on the fence with the defender I'd recommend buying it, it adds just enough weight and bulk to inspire confidence but not so much that its uncomfortable to handle. And the holster is the best, since the belt clip is attached to it and not the phone it adds no extra bulk and allows the back to remain flat. It swivels 360 degrees and you can put the phone in it upside down, right side up, screen facing out or in. In short, 30 bucks is a lot for a phone case but for an indestructible case that feels great in your hands, a screen protector that applys itself and the best holster bar none that I've ever seen, its money well spent. Buy it now.
[HD2 Accessories] osrix:
I totally agree with all of the above, its an awesome case, so much so I never take my phone out of it now..just doesnt feel right without it anymore :D
[HD2 Accessories] DPMAce:
dropped my phone today, but had the defender on, and all is well. :D
[HD2 Accessories] mattfmartin:
What's the difference between the defender and the commuter? I've been on the website their website and can't tell a difference.
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
The defender has more protection but is more bulky, while the commuter is lighter and slimmer.
[HD2 Accessories] AntonJart:
OtterBox RULE! I contacted their customer service via email and it was lightening fast. Now I have my case replacement and am HAPPY! :D
[HD2 Accessories] whenri14:
Thanks for the info guys.
[HD2 Accessories] mattfmartin:
Is there any cushioning in the case were your phone wont get scratched? Or is it just the case. Cause I got a "barely there case from Case Mate and it scratched my phone up a little bit in the corners.
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
There is no padding inside the plastic, but I've been using mine for 2 months and have no scratches on my HD2 case.
[HD2 Accessories] jwgizmo:
FYI

HTC EVO 4G

4.8" x 2.6" x 0.5"

(122 x 66 x 12.7 mm)

T-MO HTC HD2

4.8" x 2.64" x 0.43"

(122 x 67 x 11 mm)

Look at size comparison of the two phones. I ordered the Seidio case below and it fits perfect.

The Sprint store has the horizontal leather case with magnetic closure, that fits too.

GO to seidioonline and search for Product Code: HLHEV4AS

If you order this holster make sure it reads Spring-Clip Holster for use with non-cased device.

Got mine today... Love it.

[HD2 Accessories] Mass13:
can't find the international version of this car mount, I don't think the US and intnl version are the same, are they? anyone? :cool:
[HD2 Accessories] DPMAce:
dropped my phone today from waist height, and I'm a tall guy, onto asphalt. But had the defender on and not a single scratch or any sign of a drop.

So glad I bought this phone, and so glad I have the defender case on it. I've been suffering so much buyers remorse these past two weeks for not buying the dell streak instead. But after dropping my phone today, I'm glad I didn't get the streak because the lcd screen would probably be shattered right now.

The HTC HD2 is a sturdy phone, and with the defender, it's perfect for everyday use.
[HD2 Accessories] SamManMos:
Hello!

As everyone knows - there is 2 versions of Defender case: International and U.S.

Can you tell me, please, if I have Europe (that is to say - International) HD2 - will it be very silly step to buy U.S. Defender for it? I can have one for VERY low price, but...

Does Int. Defender/U.S. Defender cases really so different? The HD2s itselfs differ (on exterior) by 1.5 mm in height only (U.S. Leo is higher)...
[HD2 Accessories] DON2003:
can anyone post a pic of the international version of Otterbox fits on a T-Mobile version HD2? will be much appreciated, or pls email to dongdongv@gmail.com

many TIA
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
No, it won't. The Amazon site had a review from a soldier in Afghanistan who ordered the international version by mistake and found it would not fit the TMOUS model.
[HD2 Accessories] se1988:
That will not be a smart move. The defender is supposed to be a perfect fit, you will not get that with a US case on a EU phone. Dont do it!
[HD2 Accessories] DON2003:
anyone has a pic how int'l otter fits on a T-Mobile HD2? will appreaciate a pic, thanks
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
Have you not read the previous 6 posts or so? Why not just buy the Otterbox for the US TMO HD2 so there are no issues?
[HD2 Accessories] se1988:
yes please do!!
[HD2 Accessories] cmarti:
Dude do you understand English?
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
I interpreted his comment to mean "Yes, please do just go ahead and buy the TMOUS model"...
[HD2 Accessories] se1988:
you got it right:)

@cmarti: why do you ask?
[HD2 Accessories] DPMAce:
So how many of you all have dropped your phone in the otterbox case? Just wondering. And could you elaborate if there was any damage afterwards?
[HD2 Accessories] se1988:
I have! No damage at all. It even saved my phone from a spilt cup of coffee:) its the best
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
I have a few times. No damage at all.
[HD2 Accessories] DPMAce:
Yeah I've dropped mine twice now. I don't consider myself a clumsy person but I was seeing a patient and accidentally knocked the HD2 out of it's holster and it fell directly onto the edge, but no signs of any damage. The defender is awesome.

From now on, if I buy any phone, it must have a defender case for it.
[HD2 Accessories] Pikachu2:
I also have this case. It's bulky but it won't break if I drop my phone. The wife dropped my phone by accident and it landed on concrete. No damage.
[HD2 Accessories] halx:
Mine fell on a tile floor from the waist height. Refused to turn on. Battery re-installation revived it to 100% functional.
[HD2 Accessories] charleswesde:
does anyone have a belt clip they aren't using? I lost mine while moving. name your price.
[HD2 Accessories] AzizOnDeck:
Just ordered mine, should be at my front door step in 2 days. Amazon Prime 2 day shipping ftw :)
[HD2 Accessories] sillybat:
Right now i use my 3rd Otterbox Defender case..

This case is really good for protecting your phone.. But if u r like me and you open every other day the battery case (for sdcard or reset purposes) then be warned. This case will brake in multiple places. The hard plastic is of terrible quality and brakes close to vol keys, near the cam, and on the bottom near the power in.

However my phone is like new and doesnt have a scratch.. Its better to brake the case than the phone but buying a new case every 2-3 months isnt great either.
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
Breaks, or creaks? The phone is still being protected even though the case creaks when squeezed.

You could download it in update.zip format, put it on her SD card, and use it to bring her back to stock.

From there you can use the new root method (or SimpleRoot2) to get root and put roms on it.

[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
Hey guys,

Just wanted to know how do I set a phone lock for the x10, I want it to appear only when switching on the phone and not during screen timeouts.

I used to be able to do this with a lot of old SE phones where it would ask me for the code only once when the phone is switched on.
[XPERIA X10 General] krazykirk:
You just go to Settings> Security> Sim Lock and set one in there. That will only prompt you for a pin number when you switch on your phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] knudsen81:
he did not mean pin code...

I think he talks about the screen unlock slide it from the button to the top...
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
But that would only ask me the pin only when that SIM is inserted. If I use a different SIM it wont ask me for the pin.

I would like to lock the phone regardless of which sim is inserted into the phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
I was referring to the pin code...the old SE phones used to call it phone lock. I assumed it to be the same on this.

I would set a 4 digit pin and it would ask me for a 4 digit pin everytime the phone is switched on, and it wont ask me for a pin during screen timeouts.
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
All I could find on the sony ericsson website is this:

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/detailed/phonelockcodeissues/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en

which refers to what I want, but it doesn't tell me how to setup the phone lock.
