Quest for a worthy case

---

Ive read all the case reviews and posts and have to say I have yet to find anything impressive. The ebay cases really dont do any justice to the phone and everything at the T-Mobile store either doubles the thickness or is pastel colors. Im hoping an Otterbox Commuter comes sooner than later.

The only case that actually does the phone justice that I found is the Speck Hard Shell case. i tried it on today just to check fitment and it lives up to Speck quality. Unfortunately the case looks to be made only for TMobile as it is not on the spec site. The case fitment was perfect and a very slim design. grip was great and it made the phone actually feel like a phone and not just a screen floating in your hand. Snapped together firmly and all cutouts were exact.

Amazing Case, The only problem is its friggin Purple. Hoping to see a black case sometime soon. Email them and request it. For now it's ebay trash or fat and ugly TMO cases.

I saw a pretty similar case at the T-mo store last week, but slightly different design - instead of having a front and back piece, the bottom of the case (i.e., the part that would cover the edge with the mic) pulled off you slid the phone in. It was exactly what I wanted - except it was magenta. Do men not buy cases?

Where did you see this Speck case, in a T-mo store? Neither of these are on the website. Might have to get a tough case from Case-Mate. Or swap this bad boy for a G2 ;)

Personally I think this is a GREAT case. Its VERY form fitting, doesnt really thicken the phone much, NOT a snap on and very gripable. One thing I hate about snap on cases is that they usually are too hard of a plastic and slide around your hand. This doesn't do that. I ordered 3 different cases and this is by far the best phone case I have ever had.

Thanks for the recommendation - what does it look like on the phone, i.e., hopefully not too sparkly? And how pocketable is it? Thanks!

i have this case, i paid under four dollars for it shipped off ebay. you can barely tell its there due to the color, it mutes the smoked chrome ring even more and on the back the hexagon pattern actually looks pretty cool combined with the blue dots on the stock cover.

my only issue is that on mine (might not be all of them) it is a BITCH to press the power button a small piece of electrical tape cut and stuck to the inside of the case itself isnt noticeable and adds enough thickness to make it easier to press.

It's not just yours. I have the same case off of ebay and although it does look good, it's a pain to press the power button and the volume controls. A case has holes for those buttons will probably work better. I just ordered body glove's hard case from ebay, the one with the integrated kickstand. Will update this post when I get it.

WOW haha that is exactly what I had to do. I put electrical tape on the inside of the case to thicken the power button. Works like a charm now thanks to my little ghetto rig job
