So I have this crappy Amazon $4 case, from eforcity crap.

Anyways, dropped it today in a urinal at school (whoops), and the case broke into the two pieces that it was. Pretty crappy case obviously.

Anyways, I have some money, want to get a better case since I'll have this phone for two years and so.

Case Mate Pop appeals to me, but I can't find any good comments here.

Case Mate Tough appeals too, but Pop is cooler.

Otterbox Defender is okay, too fat for my tastes.

Any other ideas? What are you using?

I'm using the Case Mate Barely There Case. i dont like bulk, and it protects my phone enough without sacrificing sexiness :)

I bought an Otterbox Commuter and like it a lot. It doesn't add a whole lot of bulk and feels really sturdy. Haven't dropped the phone yet, but sure this case would hold up if I did.

Ewwww? Inside it? Anyway....

For protection: http://www.otterbox.com/htc-inspire-4g-cases/htc-inspire-4g-cases,default,sc.html

I wont buy a phone unless Otterboxes are available. Period. I always keep multiple cases, and this is what I buy for protection.

For the "barely there" factor: http://www.myincipio.com/HTC-Inspir...nspire-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp

These are very nice and extremely thin, but offer no protection for drops and bumps, besides scratching from in-out of pocket, etc.
These are better than the Caes-Mate barely there (imo). Nicer texture and quality.

You already know about the POP, so I wont go into depth there, but I prefer this to the POP: http://www.speckproducts.com/smart-phone-cases/htc-inspire-cases.html

They look way better to me (but scratch easy, but so would the POP) and come in a variety of colors. I have an Atrix, and they only make black which makes me so jealous of you guys :mad:. These offer a nice combo of the "Style" "Protection" and "Slimness".

I would go with this if you don't like the Otterbox, but want protection.

You have this for a nice protective silicone case: http://tridentcases.com/product_57_73.html

They are a new Otterbox-like brand but offer a variety of colors for EVERY phone. ;)

Most comparable to a Feather or Barely there: http://www.rearthusa.com/HTC-Inspire-4G_p_155.html

They are brand new and i'm sure if you asked, they would send you a free one in turn for a review. I love the combo of TPU and silicone with this case. I'm currently using it as my main for my Atrix (in true blue). It doesn't offer much protection, but looks great and doesn't attract lint like the Trident case would or other Silicone cases.


Lastly: http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/5493.htm

Just look through the 3 options they offer. One for protection, one for a combo of protection and style and one for just the thin factor. Seidio has great cases. I'd go with the Active Combo if you like the POP case ;)


I don't care much for Case-Mates hard cases. They aren't as nice as other options. I would buy a CandyShell or Active Combo over the POP, but that's just me :D


The rest of case-mate's offerings: http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Inspire-4G-Cases/HTC-Inspire-4G-Cases.asp
Good luck with your decision. Hope I helped.

I have a pop and tough. Thought the tough is slimmer, it offers less protection. The hard surface does not wrap around the corner completley. Regardless, I like the tough. I just wish they made the outer shell in other colors...this leads to the pop case...

The pop case comes in different colors. This is highly appealing to me. The phone now stands out as I have the light blue pop case. No more trying to find the darn phone. With a black case it just seems to blend in almost camouflaged. The pop case is also probably 1mm thicker that the tough.

Currently I have the tough case on the phone...the pop case watching, and the seidio active/holster combo on the way.

The speck candyshells they sell at ATT store are really nice. I'm using one and it makes the phone feel very secure.

I have always used the Otterbox Defender series cases with my phones as they are the toughest most rugged out there. Otterbox just recently updated the Defender for the Inspire (previously they said it would only work for the Desire but made some modifications to it for the Inspire - their words not mine!).

Good luck!

MUST Check out :)

So I have spent literally a month searching for a nice case for the Inspire 4G, I'm so jealous of the iPhone having all the cool looking cases, there's barely any for any other phone...The barely there ones are nice, but tha'ts about it.

Then I stumbled upon this one:
http://www.accstation.com/chtcdesisc06.html

I ordered it right away, loved the design, looks cool, translucent (they offer black too!) and was thrilled when I got it. It's great quality, not overly thick or bulky, the sides have a grip you have to try for yourself, and the cutouts are 99% acurate- covers the camera lens perfectly...the only thing that is a little tough to reach is the unlock/power button, but that's the phones fault- it is too recessed. The feel of it is great, and looks sharp! Best of all it's only $6.99 Definitely recommend it.

I ordered this case today per your recommendation. I have a candyshell, but it makes the phone way too huge for me. I'm excited to get something new. Hope it works as well for me.

I bought this off Amazon for 4.99 and it is by far the best case I have seen for this phone.

TPU Rubber Skin Case for HTC Desire HD

Doesnt add too much bulk. I hate cases with a passion, but this one has impressed me.

You can find these cases for 3 dollars on ebay! Just a suggestion.

I am using the Ringke Rearth and I am pretty happy with it. The texture is different than any other "soft" case I have felt before. Not sticky like silicone, or smooth like plastic. I do think it has stretched out a bit over time, but its tough to say..

Love the speck case, they just came out with a white one that looks sick, full shock protection, protects the camera, topped off with a zagg screen protector and this thing is a tank

Havn't had any issues with the otterbox commuter case messing with gps.. usually gets a lock 8/9 in a matter of seconds indoors.. and outside almost instant.

    I'm using the same case but the black version. Awesome case! I highly recommend this case!
