i just got the barely there case-mate case and it looks great BUT, the volume button is even harder to press. it's a serious problem IMO. I may cut the case to remove the portion that borders the volume toggle.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jacob1369:
That might even be problematic since the volume rocker is almost flushed and without the rubber, there's still the plastic shell that might prevent your fingers from reaching the rocker... try to sell it and get a commuter dude...
[HTC Inspire 4G] RacerX10:
Why does it specifically say that it does

not

accommodate the Inspire 4G ?

[HTC Inspire 4G] substance12:
I returned an otter box that i think was meant for the desire. It was too bulky for me and the buttons didn't feel right.

Having a good case with a built in volume rocker would definitely help. I think that simply having a rubber over lay is not good enough, has to be plastic. Would appreciate opinions on the matter.

You should try the speck candyshell

I have one and like it. www.igadgetgeek.com has a review of the case.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aimfire72:
There is this stuff called PlastiDip that is basically a spray on rubberized coating. You can get it at most hardware stores for about $8 a can. It takes 3-4 thin coats to get the best results.

I haven't tried it on my Commuter case yet, but may this week. Good thing is, if it doesn't come out right, or if you don't like it, it is easily peeled off with no damage to the case. I read about this stuff in the Nexus S accessories thread, check there for more info.
[HTC Inspire 4G] p4ranoid4ndroid:
How much bulk does the commuter add? I had one for my blackberry and really liked it but im worried that with the size of the inspire its gonna be one bulky case.

Case Mate Pop Belt Clip

Just got my Case Mate Pop and it's great. The buttons are actually more reponsive than without the case. However, since the case does make the phone a bit more bulky, I cannot easily fit it into my front or back pockets anymore. Does anyone have a suggestion for a leather case or belt clip that can be used along with the Pop case? Wanted to see if I cound carry it on the belt.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
which case is slimmer? the Seidio Innocase II Surface Case or the OTTERBOX HTC Desire HD Commuter Case ?

Seidio Innocase II Surface Case

OTTERBOX HTC Desire HD Commuter Case
[HTC Inspire 4G] aimfire72:
I have both, Commuter is slightly thinner and the design makes it feel less bulky.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
wow but the commuter its 55 $ on amazon + 5 $ for shipping :o , too expensive
[HTC Inspire 4G] aimfire72:
I ordered mine directly from OtterBox, think it was about $35. It's a really nice case!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
with shipping and all? :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
I picked up the Xentris High Gloss silicone case at the Rat Shack.

I like it so much I cancelled my Otterbox Commuter order on Amazon
[HTC Inspire 4G] RangerMoe:
Thanks for that info. heading to the shack now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
How thick is it, say comparing to BodyGlove case? Does the camera cut out have a "lip" to protect the lense?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Thinner than the body glove. Also has lens cut out. I returned my bg case in favor of this one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bgweed:
Just ordered the case mate gelli. Will give impressions soon!

That is truly the best case and clip for the Inspire and most other smartphones ...Im rockin the **** outta it right now
[HTC Inspire 4G] pokey9000:
Is it felt-lined? This looks exactly like the Seidio Innocase
[HTC Inspire 4G] javanutsy:
I have the barely there and love it. For me, I want that little bridge over the volume rocker. Makes the case look much better than without. I have no problems using the volume buttons. This case really reminds me of the Incipio Feather case I had for the 3GS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
It looks IDENTICAL but with another logo on it :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
does it feel like it protects the phone? does it add too much bulk? does it attach strongly to the phone? ive bought cases before and they dont fit right, are loose and stuff :/ those are my main concerns , i can only buy my case from amazon , and the barely there case has a really good price! 20 $ + shipping!
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
I just received my Commuter from Amazon (they had it for $20 couple of weeks ago) and must say that this case is awesome.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
can u post some pictures? i cant decide bewteen seidio, the conmmuter and the barely there :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Was it in stock when you ordered it or OOS? I ordered on 24th Feb and still haven't received it :( ... Hope it comes in stock soon.
[HTC Inspire 4G] javanutsy:
I have the barely there in black matte, and find the fit and finish perfect. The cutouts for the flash, camera and speaker line up perfectly. I believe this is the thinnest case you can get for the phone, so protection is also probably minimal... But it fits my needs perfectly. If you search up, I have posted a couple of pics. I bought it directly from the manufacturer website for $20 with free shipping.

Otterbox Defender Series...

Hi all, here's my take on the Defender Series if anyone is interested... with pic :D

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12083742&postcount=2010
[HTC Inspire 4G] rjtoocool:
Great review...

Hey thanks for that review. I have the Platinum series case from best buy and it does a great job. I work with my phone constantly on my side and love how it protects the screen. My wife doesnt think its enough protection and has been waiting for her otterbox to get back in stock. I have been looking everywhere and they all seem to be sold out. She is so afraid of dropping her phone right now. Where did you get yours if I might ask?

Thanks for the pic as well. That helped make the decision as to whether it was too bulky or not.

P.S. You must be pretty popular with 360+ new messages in your G-mail. I only get like 10 a day...:(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jacob1369:
Lol... It was actually my birthday yesterday and I usually auto filter some subscriptions and daily reports from work which I seem to put off reading or deleting. And that's with killing annoying Facebook updates...

Glad to help in making a good buying decision :-)

I got it from Amazon at a real bargain about 3-4 weeks ago. International shipping was a challenge. Yeah, OBoxes seems to be out of stock elsewhere and some listings are way up in price.

Just my observation, I noticed in the OB site that the Commuter is said to be compatible with DHD and I4G but the Defender isn't. I'm speculating that its because of the tiny hole next to the flash of the I4G which we don't have (must be a secondary mic?). The Defender case does have a cut in the flash area to accommodate that tiny hole (same as the Commuter) but both holes (flash and camera) are covered with a built in membrane that might hamper whatever that tiny hole is for.

So, I'm thinking that for the Defender to work for the I4G, one must consider removing the flash membrane/cover (attached with adhesive) or possibly punching a tiny hole to let it breathe or function or whatever its intended to do...

Hope it helps!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
Is true that some cases can block the strenght of the data and 3g signal? :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jacob1369:
Probably ones made without a lot of research and testing, haven't heard of one yet that didn't involve faulty hardware. The only one I've came across that's confirmed was a custom full titanium back casing for an iPhone 3g which turned it into an expensive iPod Touch...lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] rjtoocool:
Its true for one..

As a matter of fact I have the platinum case from best buy and I did many tests using a wifi and Net, as well as timing my gps lock with and without the case... Gps lock takes about 5 - 8 seconds longer to get a lock with the case on slightly longer indoors with the case on. My wife has the exact phone with no case and her signal strength with both wifi, H+ and gps is stronger than mine by a small amount. Its a minute amount of interference but it is there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jacob1369:
Good to know but I didn't have that kind of issue with the OBs I've used thus far :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] winsettr:
I have the BestBuy Platinum case and it is awesome, as you would expect, because it is the *exact* same as the Seidio Innocase II Surface (yes, I have compared the two). Of note, I cannot find any Seidio branding on the packaging/inserts/anything.... I picked up my case and holster as a package for ~$35 at BB, and for comparison Smartphone Experts (Android Central Store) lists the combo for $46.40.
[HTC Inspire 4G] winsettr:
Holding the phone can also block signal ;-) Realistically, though, as long as the case is not metal (or metal reinforced) you should not experience a significant difference.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wiingy:
Just recieved my Case-Mate Tough, best case ever, great protection that doesn't interfer with the slim, sexy look of the phone.

Goes great with the SGP screen protector.
[HTC Inspire 4G] orb3000:
Ordered this one as no money left after buying so many devices:p

Has not arrived yet...darn international shipping...

Let you know guys how is it when arrives...
[HTC Inspire 4G] dan09wrx:
Ordered my commuter about a month ago on Amazon for 19.99 w/ prime shipping but was out of stock. I ordered it anyway I just received it a couple of days ago woo hoo. Awesome case now I see it selling for 50bucks!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
I love my Case-Mate barely there case... but I've found that it completely destroys my GPS signal strength. Original thread is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12188380&postcount=2263

I have the silver one, is there any difference with the other versions?

I would love to use these cases, it's the closest I'll ever get to the old Cozip cases for the iphones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] javanutsy:
I thought about getting the silver one, but afraid the shiny metallic finish might interfere with the signal... The black one I have is a matte finish. Haven't noticed any GPS problems, but I didn't compare signal strength without case either...

ebay has a simply massive selection of cases with buy now prices mostly under ten dollars. i got a snap on carbon fiber case with free shipping for 6 bucks expected on thursday delivery.

also i saw an awesome series of cases from a seller that has tons of a different color ways that perfectly match the different live smoke wallpapers. i'm thinking of getting one of those as well, just for the heck of it. 6 bucks. come on. haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] scward:
got a link for that carbon fiber one? i like the sound of it
[HTC Inspire 4G] Doo Doo:
look on ebay just type "inspire 4g case" in the search bar
[HTC Inspire 4G] Clintrojan:
Do the cases like an otterbox protect if the phone falls screen first? I had a plastic screen phone and it punctured the screen (no protection).

I was thinking about the otterbox defender/commuter or the Seidio innocase active-X.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
Nice link, I like that one. I wonder how the GPS will perform with it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jacob1369:
Just proven earlier that the Defender does... even the polycarbonate shell isn't dented by rough concrete. Phone fell face down.

Bought a crap case for 9.00 with shipping from Handhelditems on Amazon.

it goes into your pocket nicely, feels good, not slippery, but i don't know about protection...

I have one of these cases coming in the mail http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...643025&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_6048wt_905

I ordered it in the colours pictured but with the magnetic snap closure and my initials engraved. I like that this case will also replace my wallet :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] EightEight:
Where is the OtterBox Commuter? Can't find any of them, buy.com, newegg.com, amazon.com and ebay has it but cost a arm and a leg. Anyone can help.:(:confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
I ordered one of the Easecase Case's a while back and it was awesome! Beautiful and well made, they really do an outstanding job on their cases, and it ships in a very nice box with the case inside a velvet pouch, you can tell they put a lot of work into these. You will love it I know!
[HTC Inspire 4G] d.cortez:
thought i'd share pics of my case. it's very similar to the "case-mate-barely-there" but it's perforated with small holes and it has more tack to it. i like to carry my device naked, but keeping it in my pocket would expose it to keys, change, etc. if you prefer full coverage, then this case is not for you. as an fyi, i have no issues with GPS signals. got it from ebay for $11.00 bucks shipped.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sjkoellner:
Do those holes go all the way through? Kinda sexy that way :D

Sent from me using this thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] d.cortez:
yes, they're holes that go from one side to the other.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sequencius:
Here's the best ebay store for TPU cases, they also have the mesh for $4 shipped :p

EDIT* aw I can't post links since I'm a new member....sorry guys

I ordered from them, it comes from China and it took about less than a week to get here in california. Got the S-Wave case, it's perfect; it's thick, fits tightly and doesn't stretch, but most importantly it has those side grooves like the $35 Case Mate case.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
I personally spent 50 bucks and ordered the Innocase Rugged Holster Combo from Seidio...

I had an iPhone 3G before my Inspire 4G and I was very very happy with my Otterbox Defender Case with the clip and as a matter of fact my wife still has it on her 3G and it saved the phone more than once when she dropped/kicked it lolol... BTW I was surfing around the net to find the Defender for the Inspire but apparently Otterbox doesn't make Defender for this model... So I found the Innocase and the only flaw I found is that it is not completely waterproof, in fact the screen is protected only by a thin plastic film which is apart from the body of the case... the body itself though it's great quality and I prefer this one to the otterbox... internally the plastic is not 'naked' but there is a layer of velvet to avoid scratches on the phone and the entire case is composed by 3 actual cases overlaid... so when you want to put the phone in your pocket you just use the thinest case which is thin hard plastic and leaves the camera and the buttons uncovered, if you rather have more protection you can put on top of it the silicon layer with the hard plastic skeleton that seal (almost) every hole on the phone and grants great protection...

Seidio owes me money after this review... :p

Anyways it's no cheap case, it's 50 bucks without shipping costs but if you consider you are buying 3 cases and you have the choice on the level of protection you want for your phone... I think it's a great deal...

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd4-hkr4htace.htm
[HTC Inspire 4G] JDM9499:
@cortez.i - Wow, that is a nice and thin case. I generally do not like cases at all, and for having such a large phone for the first time, I didn't feel like making it any bigger with a case. I must say, that one is very tempting...

Hmmm....
[HTC Inspire 4G] Talderon:
I just went to the Retail Store and bought a Speck case that they had. I have always heard good things about Speck and thought I would try one out. Does not had hardly any bulk and makes the phone feel really nice.

No complaints from me on this one. :)

(I got the Grey and Black one)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
Guys i dont know what case to buy! :( i DONT like bulk on the already bulky inspire 4g , i was almost set on the case mate barely there, i love the look but the corners and frame of the phone are unprotected and MOST of my bumps and scratches from my milestone are in those places! :(

So i was thinking of getting the Seidio Innocase II Surface

or the Case-mate Pop Case

which of these two feels and looks less bulky? :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
I just bought this one today on eBay. Looks like a pretty nice case. I'm a car nut so I love the look of carbon fiber weave. The white should add a touch of class to the Inspire, I really wanted to get the white EVO but didn't want to switch to Sprint.

Just go to eBay and search 130484647506
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
I was originally going to get the Otterbox Commuter since I've had that on my iPhone 3g and 3gs and the Defender on my iPhone 4 but I really wanted something that didn't add bulk to the phone. I've heard these phones are built pretty darn well so I don't really have to worry about it break, as I don't drop my phone like ever. I'm a bit of a case whore so I'll probably get one of the perforated eBay ones too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] civilian_pr0ject:
well i got my case from ebay,

http://cgi.ebay.com/CARBON-FIBER-Ph...s=63&clkid=8041165229114369165#ht_2545wt_1135

unfortunately this was a big let down. the only pro is that it was cheap and i really wanted a carbon fiber look which i got, more or less.

it arrived in retail packaging, already more than i expected.

however, this is a flimsy piece of plastic of a case. it is pretty hard, which is what i wanted, but the sides of the phone, where you hold it tall-ways, are slightly loose so they react to your squeeze. all the sems where the front and back connect are slightly pronounced and have an almost sharp edge. the carbon fiber is merely a pattern printed on the case and it was chipped off in several places which really ruined the quality. it looked used and re-sealed in the package. over-all it feels flimsy, i dare not drop-test it because i am certain it will, at least, snap off.

overall i rate it a 6/10 given mostly points for its value. at 6 dollars you get what you paid for. free shipping was nice.

edit/ i posted a link to the same case but wrong phone, either way you get the idea. mine is inspire 4g.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
Yea I saw one of those and didn't want it for the same reasons you stated. It's just a pattern that doesn't really look much like CF, it's plastic, and I don't like the fact that it's a two piece case. Most eBay cheap 2 piece cases suck haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mr Kyle:
Has anyone bought and received the Official HTC Desire HD TPU case? This one

I love TPU cases and I haven't found a clear one besides this one. I hate the circle or argyle patterned versions.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Krisbo:
Thanks! Can't wait for it to arrive. They were out of the light brown leather so I went with black outer and red inner. Should look smooth :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] d.cortez:
ordered one for my wife's inspire. interesting that the HTC case has an opening on the backside; probably because covering that part degrades the phone/gps signal.
