Default HTC Arrive Blackwood/Entrepenuer Cases

Picked up a Bodyglove Blackwood case from the Sprint Store.

amazon.com/Arrive-Blackwood-Sprint-Retail-Packaging/dp/B004SOENO8

Not much to review, took it off a few days after putting it on. It looks cheap, and I the area you push to extend the keyboard is very poorly designed. The plastic pushes forward, feels like it is about to snap.

Can someone please design a decent case for this phone?

I picked up a few of the plastic rubberized ones that are starting to show up on eBay. Fits well, fairly cheap (around $5 to $10 depending on vendor, other items included, shipping, etc.). It looks like the hinge is going to be problematic in that they can't cover that edge of the phone.....mine flexes a tad when I slide it, but doesn't come off. Better than spending $25 for the Bodyglove case in my opinion.

I'm just using a leather "slip case" - simple, not too bulky and not $$.

It's frustrating cause you have to take the phone out to use, but it protects it against being dropped or scratched which is my biggest fear.

Default Double case

Anyone have any recommendations for a pouch type case that is big enough for an Arrive in a plastic case?

I have one of the plastic cases (see earlier post) that I like. However, I sometimes wear jeans and would like something that I can wear on my belt/waist that will hold the encased Arrive (so I don't have to remove the case).

I was really unimpressed with these cases. They break often.

That's the general form all of the Arrive cases take. They clip on in halves. None are that durable.

I've dropped my Arrive at least a dozen times and the thing just won't break. The battery door pops off, the battery falls out... that's it. Honestly, the case may not be necessary.
