Cases update

So has anyone bought a silicon like case yet. I have been hoping someone would have put up a review for a case by now. So if you have bought a case for the aria where did u get it? And how good is it? Brand-name? Price? Etc.
Thanks in advance!

Got a case from at&t store its great in quality. already droped a few times with no issues. I think its the htc brand one. It cost like 20 bucks but its tougher and firmer than most silicon style cases ive seen. Also not as sticky as most so it slides in your pocket easier. Although its still sticky when its 92 degrees out like it was today.

The Amzer silicone one provides good protection but is bulky and does not fit snuggly on the phone. I could imagine the phone slipping out of the case to indicate how loosely it fits.

When I picked mine up from the AT&T store, they had a pretty nice soft shell case for $25. It was nice looking, fit the phone well (I almost couldn't get the thing off), and looked like it would provide decent protection. I skipped on buying it, however, since the price seemed a bit steep.

i just went to the ATT store today and they had a glossy black (maybe gunmetal) hard case for the aria, it was 25 bucks and i didnt feel like spending that much when i could get the same online for cheaper, but it did look nice.
didnt get a chance to put it on the phone though.
also, it was in a package that said soft case.

I love how this phone feels like it already has a case on it! I haven't dropped the phone (yet, thankfully) but If i did i would be too distraught. I just want to be able to buy a replacement back cover (OEM) for less than $30.

yeah, it is the case that says HTC on the back, and its the only one they have. its horrible, and very troublesome to unlock the phone.

It's a nice hard-ish version of your typical silicone case. It's actually really good and sturdy and my only gripe is that it's a pain to unlock it.. so I use No Lock, which allows you to unlock the phone with any button...the optical touchpad has become my new best friend

AS ANYONE TRIED USING A HD MINI SILCON CASE, OR DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT WILL FIT. aS WELL AS PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON. damn caps lock sorry

The Amzer silicon case purchased actually says HD Mini on its packaging. It is quite a loose-fitting case. The one from AT&T, which is more of a plastic smoke translucent case, fits very snuggly with the only downside that it's $25. It says HTC on its back and the silver HTC logo of the phone itself shows through nicely.

Don't have the case anymore, but you can fit an index finger between the case and the phone without much effort.

I just bought my wife a case from pdair for the hd mini and it fits great. The have a number of good colors and its snug as a bug.
It's a very durable silicon skin. Comparable to the one from at&t but its actually easier to push the buttons with the pdair case. So its confirmed for me: hd mini cases work great for th aria.

Hum.. I'm thinking about picking one up. I wish Otterbox had a case for the Aria. I'm prone to dropping my phone, so I want something that will protect it from at least minor falls.

invisibleSHIELD avaiable yet?

Does anyone know if the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD is available yet? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
Is anyone else waiting for it to come out (or already have one)? I haven't used them before, but I thought I should (especially since I just paid $700+ for this phone ).

No but I bought a skinomi and they have a similar product with a great warranty.

They are actually available from Car Phone Warehouse from today.... But its only the front piece not the whole device!!!

I will follow to see how it go's , i think the backside is too rough, for it too stick.

I ordered skinomi (full body) clear back, from Amazon. It said "in stock" and to expect delivery between May 12-14.
On another note I ordered EZguardz screen protectors from Amazon. 5 for $2.00 with free shipping. They came in yesterday in a regular envelope from USPS. They look to be the same "urethane" material as zagg, bodyguardz, skinomi, etc. Instructions give two installation techniques, one with water and the other dry.
I cant wait for the bodyguardz version. The full body kit comes with 2 sets of backs and fronts. Best bang for the dollar and they are high quality.

Let's hope the skin has the correct dimensions.

I went away this weekend and my phone felt naked without a case and screen protector. I was so scared I'd damage it. Anyway, before I went away I emailed Zagg to ask if they did a shield for the S2.
While I was away I popped into CPW and they said they did have some Zagg shields, but had sold out.
When I got back I had an email from Zagg saying they didn't yet make a shield for the S2. Most confusing.

mate, would you mind advising me the best one from skinomi (or one you bought and satisfied)

I bought a Case-mate Gelli case from CPW shop yesterday. They also had the Zagg InvisibleShield in stock.
P.S. I have a Zagg InvisibleShield on my iPad, and the surface is a bit orange peely. Is it the same material on smaller devices?
P.P.S The Case-mate case came with a screen protector too, but it was completely wrong (looked like it was for a Galaxy S). The Gelli case is a good fit though.

Zagg just released their invisibleSHIELD. Can`t post the link to their page because of my few messages, go check their page.
Regards,
Sebastian Moreno

Zagg Invisible Shield now available at ebay and their website. the front part, next to microphone seem not well designed, it's been cut like curve shape. Not happy with Zagg design but more better quality protector out there other than Zagg.

Alumor Metal Case - From Capdase

-2 in 1 excellent protection: Soft Jacket & metal outter casing
-Protects against drops, shocks, dust, dirt & scratches
-Included screen protector
Please click the pic and enlarge the pic or it will appear blurred or pixelated
I've been using it and here are some pics:
It is excellent case which adds only light weight (any case would)
We can open the usb flap without any difficulty
It covers the volume keys,camera keys and power keys,
the three keys (back,menu,home) are not protected
please post your views

it has a nice color
thx for sharing

Awwww Yeah! Amazing one! I'll buy one like this! Ebay, here I go!

Mine started ripping after about 9 months on the spot where the rubber edges of the case meet the actual case itself (The line that you see going all across, distinguishing between the two types of materials used for the case). All in all it was still a pretty good case, mines been through hell, probably why it ripped.

I just got mine on the mail today. It's black, and it's not cheap.
I decided to get one after reading so many good reviews about it. I haven't opened it yet, so wish me luck.

i love the case..... how may colorsto choose from??? anyone got any good seller from ebay to recommend??? thanks in advance

I do not know that he will not be used for a long sticky ~
But do not know whether there are other colors

That looks nice but it must be hard to pop the USB cover with it...

Hey could you say me what did u do when it ripped off?? Did you stick it?? Because I am afraid as it is slightly ripping off the edges...What case are you using now??

Where can I puchase one of these other than Ebay?

Ha! If you plan on getting one from Ebay, plan on shelling out $20. It's a cool case, but for now, I will stick to my $2 Hard Rubber case.

Too bad nobody's selling this over here... would love to try one.

I have been using the black version of the same case. Available at Croma stores all across India. Cost me around Rs.800 (appx $20). Real good proection, also adds a touch of class.

i have the black one but i,m not happy with that on my phone... make my phone bigger and the case from x10 ii is pretty good on scratches

I bought the capdase soft jacket from ebay, it only cost ten euros. I think mobilefun.co.uk have it for a slightly higher price but their site seems to be down so cant link you to it
The case is great, comes with a screen ptrotector and it fits really well and does not bulk up the phone too much. The only bad points is that their is no cut outs for the side buttons so they can be hard to press. Also, it has a aerial cut out on the top left for the korean version but this is no big deal.
Its a great case for the price
Less than a tenner delivered here

so why dont you try amazon? otterbox seemed to come with sp.

Protective Rubber Gel Back Case for Galaxy Note

Hi All
So the hunt for a good Protective Rubber Gel Back Case for Note begins... similar to this one would be great!!

The minute I find one I'll buy it... I actually prefer getting the case even before I buy the Note.

I'm with you, this phone is too expensive to damage. I've been searching everyday and have yet to find anything. I usually prefer Ballistics' cases but I doubt they will be making one for this phone so it's back to the drawing board. I'm also wondering if zagg will be making a screen protector for this device. Don't know what I can expect with such a massive device. Maybe turn to the manufacturers of the best tablet cases... I'll post here when I find some cases.

I think the case of expansys is sleek. It's not making the note any thicker.
Hope they got variety of colors though..

samsung flipover
Samsung will come with a flipover, the back of the flipover will replace the original back of the note. So the note will only become a few mm thicker

I'm also looking to get the Samsung flipover cover when it becomes available. The only problem is the side of the Note remains unprotected, I'm thinking getting a gel case and trim off the left hand side so it will fit togther with the flipover cover.

Meanwhile, here is a really nice durable skin that is already available on Amazon I have used the Skinomi on my previous phones and it covers the phone nicely. All the cutouts are aligned and it barely feels like there is anything on it. Btw, the carbon fiber look makes it look really mean and clean. oh another thing, it's lifetime warranty too.

How does the screen protector feel? I know the Skinomi's tablet protector feels rubbery.

The carbon fibre film must just be 3m di-noc carbon fibre, can be had much cheaper on Ebay and you can just custom cut it to any device.

yup....looking for the same but no luck.
The flip cover is not practical IMHO esp when making calls.

I always used to get hard crystal clear cases such as

for my phones.
But lately ive really liked the TPU gel case with stand, such as:

Which is just like the case in the OP really

Everyone who doesn't need the case right away, wait til piel frama comes out with a imagnum type of case. This case is expensive but it protects your device against any earthquake you throw at it. I have one for my hd2 and getting one for the note cause my hd2 is still like new. You can put in your e-mail and they'll let you know when it's there to buy. Here's the link
