[5kordez5]

hi,
can any of you guys please give me advice which case should i buy the case-mate pop or otterbox commuter.... the otterbox commuter seems nice but case-mate looks nicer more but at the same time it makes the DHD much bigger right? so if any of you guyz owns both that could give me the pros and cons of both of the cases thanks

Have a read of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819651

I went for a Casemate Barely There when I first got the DHD. But, I didnt think it gave quite enough protection.

I have just ordered a Casemate Pop from Amazon, being delivered tomorrow.

As far as I could tell, the Pop gave less bulk than the Commuter - but thats only looking at the reviews.

I have the case mate pop and case mate tough. If you want a good grip get the case mate tough, I still prefer the case mate tough which is a dual case (silicon and hard) over the pop.

I have the Otterbox Commuter and its not really bulky at all, in fact less than the silicone case I had. Offers very good protection and the volume and power buttons are very easy to use.
The USB and headphones socket has a nice cover, which stops fluff and other pocket stuff getting in the holes
Well worth the 17.99 from play.com, just wish I bought it first, as I've spent money on other cases!

Some people say that otterbox feels like it will fall off the device. And also is the screen well protected, raised from the table if resting on the screen. What is the material like, is it slippery and is it easy to scrach. Are there any problems that you noticed, and do you think that otterbox commuter case is worth its money ?
Thanks

The case will not fall off! It is raised at the edges so will offer protection if you lay it face down. The plastic feels fine, not dropped it yet though. Worth the money? Definitely cheaper than replacing the phone, although I'm sure it cost a lot less than 17.99 to make!
I would definitely buy another commuter case for my next phone

I got the otterbox case as soon as it came out and the plastic hard case has broken near the bottom above the charger/headphone flap. Anyone else had this problem? keen to buy try case-mate this time around. Otterbox's whole ordering system was such a pain

I have the commuter case and I quite like it. I feel much better about carrying my beloved phone around with it on. I don't think it makes the phone bulky. Actually I think it improves the way the phone feels in your hand ALOT. You really notice it when you write in landscape mode. It fits much better into your hands and it makes a better writing experience.

The outer plastic layer feels very tough, and I think it will be hard to make a visible scratch on. The silicone layer inside wraps around the phone nicely and does the job with protecting the screen when you put it screen down/drop it screen down... BUT the silicone wrapping feels a bit thin, and the one at the bottom of the phone is a pain in the ass. It will definitly fall off in the end. It's very loose and my finger keeps lifting it up when I swipe my finger into it...

SO I baught a Case-Mate tough case. I havent received it yet so I can't say much about it, but it looks badass.

is there anyone that has both the otterbox commuter and the case-mate pop so he could tell me which one makes the device bigger. and also i wanted to ask if otterbox commuter is the same thing as case-mate tough -same size.. tnx

 

[Ehrles]

I saw comparison Pics of the commuter and the Pop and the Pop Case makes the DHD a lot bigger! It looks nice but I don´t want a bulky smartphone so yesterday I ordered the Otterbox Commuter.( and the Defender..which actually makes the phone bulky but I want to see how the screenprotector works )

my recommendation is case-mate barely there .. it has no bulk , but is low on protection.. you get screen protector with it ..

my friend's phone drop with case-mate barely there , it landed on concrete and not a scratch.

I love the otterbox commuter! Makes the device feel better when holding it. There's no way in hell that this case will fall off if you drop the phone

 

[jaredlum1988]

the pop case is better imo, snug fit and a nice color scheme!

 

[adamnickster]

Dont buy cheep china cases they colored your phone

I have an Otterbox Defender, that turns the phone into a real monster of mobile communication. It's very big and heavy, so it's not suitable for all people. But if you use your Phone for outdoor activities, there's no better case.

I also can recommend the Case Mate barely there. The screen protector is very good.

Barely there is a very nice one. I've used it for quite a while, but now i prefer my htc kickstand case with leather finish. Looks great, slightly thicker and heavier than barely there.

O and why stick a piece of plastic on a screen that doesnt need protection in the first place
