Most robust yet aesthetically pleasing case.

---

Hey guys, I'm looking for a nice case for my precious One X. The last phone I had lived out its days in a Casemate tough case. These really are amazing, but pricey. The case itself is a silicon inner case covered by a removable plastic shell. My phone took many drops with that case on and survived two years. The only damage done was a small crack in the outer plastic shell. Otherwise, no damage was sustained by the phone They are currently available for the HOX, but come to a rather pricey £30 after VAT and shipping. See here. It's obviously still a small price to pay considering the cost of the handset itself.

I was wondering if you guys knew of similar cases that are better value for money? My only complaint against the Casemate tough is that, despite its durability, it's rather ugly.

Would like to hear your thoughts!

Looks like a nice case.

As a sparky when I'm on building sites dust can be a problem, so I might consider stumping up for this one. Did you find it protected well against dust and debris with your previous phone?

Seems that there is a cheaper alternative by the same manufacturer on ebay without the two layer protection. Not sure how much difference that would make.

Oddly the cheaper case doesn't appear on Case-mate's own site, but it seems to be a genuine seller

Only thing that looks odd to me is the cut out around the speaker. That would seem to be a place that is guaranteed to allow dust in. I guess putting anything over it would affect the sound output, but I would have thought a grille machined into the case would have been a better option...

You have to wonder how much the wifi and cell radio signals suffer with 2 layers of protection

I'm waiting for the aegis from here http://www.tridentcase.com/ should be available in 2-3 weeks, works much the same way as the case mate one.

there's also otterbox commuters series.


may or may not come out cheaper though

Why not the Kraken case????

thinking about it hehehe, but then I'd be tempted to get the mount so I could mount it on my bike, then the other ams modules...
