Cases - HTC Droid DNA

Any word on cases that will launch along side the DNA next week? Would the wireless charging / NFC have the distance to work through a case?
Are you planning on putting a case on your DNA?
Personally, I'm not planning on getting a case. I think the phone looks too good on it's own to cover it up. My only concern would be dust and pocket lint getting in the open grill sides.

I think it would work with a case but I don't think you really need a case with gorilla glass 2 but if I do get one it will most likely be the tpu case because I always buy that on my android devices and love the design and feel so much.

I don't like the added bulk of cases, though I'll be getting a screen protector as soon as one is available. HTC adds an additional glossy coating on top of the Gorilla Glass, and it is more prone to surface scratches than the Gorilla Glass itself.
Plus I have two pieces of dust underneath the Galaxy S3 screen protector I've got on the DNA temporarily. Want to get that remedied ASAP.

not exactly, it lets you sign up for a notification for when they will be available

I was able to grab this from VZW when I pre-ordered ($19.99)

Whoops. I didn't actually delve into the product pages.

The one thing I think case makers will overlook is the backside notification LED. Being not thick and able to see the notification light, I think I'll stick to a clear tpu case.

i think some of the "less reputable" ones might, but i would hope the bigger names would take it into account.

I'm wondering the same thing. I like the otterboxes for the DNA.

Guys, gals...
If you haven't seen, there's another thread with the case I think this phone might be deserving of. I by no means take credit for finding it, but here's the thread.

That's awesome. I'd totally pick one up if they make them for the DNA.

I found this via Google search but I'm not really sure how reputable it is (seems kind of sketchy). There are already several cases listed for the DNA.

I received word from Incipio stating they don't plan on making anything for the DNA. I agree about the sketchiness of the Tessco site. I searched on Incipio for some of the product numbers listed, with nothing found.

Seidio will be making cases for the DNA, i've been wanting to get a hold of one of their cases for a while now and just needed an excuse

Tessco
Tessco supplies to retailers.

Does anyone know of any phone with fairly similar dimensions? Most of what I researched has the DNA being taller. The reason I ask is because I like sleeves instead of a case....I guess it's an old blackberry habit. I had the original Nexus neoprene one for my OG Incredible. If I can find a quality sleeve for another device, it might suit the DNA just fine.
Thanks

Body Glove Drop suit is available on eBay for the DNA.

Otterbox Commuter doesn't fit?

So I just got the otterbox communer (commuter?) and I noticed it doesn't fit on the top.. there is a slight gap between the top of the phone where the speaker is and the actual case.. it doesn't really make contact.
Is this the norm or should I exchange mine?
Mine fits fine. I really like it. I had for my EVO 4G as well. You just have to adjust it and make sure its on right.

I had it for the old Evo as well.
I tried adjusting it, it is simply just made a slight bit bigger than the phone itself. I think I'll take it back tomorrow and see if a different one fits better.
Only problem with that is, I used the screen protector.... will they still take a return?
mine fits a started off with the defender n it was way to bulky 4 me took it back and got a commuter. couldn't be happier... well till theres root > anyway have u tried pushing the top in some more?
I agree. The silicone is definitely a bit big. I can see the headphone hole when I look under the case with it on
Mine fits the same way. Theres a small gap at the top. I think Im going to return it because of this. Im too OCD to see that gap all the time.
Just got a 3vo today with a commuter case...fits fine..no problems..

It's eating me up... I had this phone naked since the 23rd? It's made me crazy thinking I was gonna scratch it... now I get the usually exceptionally nice otterbox... and it doesn't fit =\
How about the screen protector that comes with it? is it worth it to out it on?

The screen protector that comes with it is nice. Don't buy the "sprint" ones because they don't cover the entire screen....
I installed the screen protector and it fits perfect. No issues at all. Maybe return the case or contact otterbox. They have great customer service.

It doesn't fit perfectly in the iGrip car dock that Sprint's selling, if you want it to charge you'll have to snip off the rubber USB cover and modify the dock just a bit. Nice dock, though.
Just exchanged the commuter case for another one.... same problem. That little gap up top is going to be a catch-all for all sorts of junk =\
Anyone know of another case like this? I like the rubber case with the plastic clipping overtop of it... that way it doesn't scratch the phone.

Try the Case-Mate Tough Case. Similar design to the Commuter, fits flawlessly. I reviewed it in detail here.

Looks good. I need to find some pretty close up pix of how it fits on the phone tho.. since that's the only issue I have with the otterbox.
I'm experiencing the same thing, its pissing me off, IDK why they didn't make it so you had to stretch the rubber over the phone, its too big for the phone...
would have been okay if the black plastic piece went over the top and crimped it in place, but as we all know, there isn't any there
Since you guys mentioned it, now I see it too.
A lot of dust/lint collected in just one day it seems as I found out after taking the cover off to see if I could readjust the silicone to make it fit better. No go!
I think I am gonna return this!
Does any one know if Case-mate Tough Case is as pretty as this Otter Commuter baby?

[Q] Cases with a kickstand

Does anyone know a good case with a kick stand? The most important features are just the kickstand and thinness. I know Casemate makes a great one, but it's way too thick.
This one seems okay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-FoldOut...ccessories&hash=item2eb8015e60#ht_2188wt_1163
But I'd have to make a slight modification for the microphone, and most importantly, I don't know if it will fit. I'm quite weary of any of these cases that can fit both the international and ATT versions.
I bought my GS2 on launch day and ATT had 4 different cases in the store. Case Mate was the only one offered with a kick stand but it felt cheap so I opted not to get it. There was a nice leather case but none of them fit the phone, lol. Guess those will be sent back.

Thanks for the link and the info...I too got my SGSII on launch day and was disappointed at the lack of accessories and items available for the AT&T branded SGSII. I even have communicated with Body Glove about one of their cases (As I have been a fan of that one and used it on my Cappy and Infuse both) but they said they will not be producing a Body Glove case for our phone So I am going to try the above listed one and I will let you know. Maybe even post some screens and update the thread.

I bought this today instead of the leather case...
Its definitely not as bulky as I thought it would be (previous experience with the thrill and infuse pop cases) and the kickstand works great!
It also fits real nicely. The leather case seemed a little too tight and that it would require some effort to put in properly

I've had this for about 3 days now. I think its called Minisuit
Pros: Thin, light, tight fit, good kickstand, cheap, quick delivery
Cons: no hole for secondary mic, generic micro usb rechargers have trouble given cutout (stock cable works fine)
Happy enough with it for now.

I was considering that one, but hard cases are more difficult to cut the mic opening.
ny gs2 doesn't say Samsung or att on front.... only says galaxy S on back cover... is that supposed to be like that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ok, I got the case.
Doesn't fit 100%.
The bottom in particular, but it's barely noticeable. The top mic needs to be cut out some more, which shouldn't be too difficult since it's not plastic.
Case actually looks a lot better than I expected. The kickstand is very flimsy, which I expected. Once you put the stand up, don't put any pressure on it. It's very likely to just snap off. The power button becomes pretty stiff, too.
They also ran out of minisuit keychain screen cleaners. They said if I want one, email them about how I feel my order is "incomplete without one," and they'll send one when they have more stock.
Kind of a weird way to make us word it.
Either way, I'd recommend this if you need a very sleek and thin case that doubles as a flimsy kickstand.

Any good cases?

I'm pre-ordering my phone today probably.
Would rather not pay $30-40 for a case at Sprint.
eBay doesn't have any yet.
Looking for a standard plastic case.
(Preferably snap on case)

I'm getting the commuter and a set of really nice screen protectors for this. I had the Defender for my DInc2; it was too bulky and the built in screen protector sucked a lot. It got dirty really easily and dust got under it too well. I'd rather have a slimmer case and a quality screen protector.
The accessory I'm most excited about is the Media Link though. It's a pretty penny, but that will be a really cool feature. Emulators on your TV with your phone as the controller. It's gonna be real nice.

I had a defender for my Evo OG and I was able to remove the protector and use my phantomskinz. It was just held in with some type of adhesive and it actually made a pretty good seal with my screen protector.
So if you want to go without a protector, I would imagine it shouldn't be a problem to remove.
Is there a band to go around it? Similar to how the iPhone antennae issue was "fixed". I don't want a case, but I would like a ~2mm lip to protect the glass when laying face down.
Edit: After some googling, apparently they are called bumpers. I can probably get a cheap-o from ebay after release. Does anyone have any experience with a bumper case?
I'm hoping for Trident to release a case... i love their Aegis on my E4GT...i wont consider another brand

TPU-cases.com are usually $8 or so in the early stages and then once more knockoffs come to market you can get cheaper. Honestly, I would pay evwn more as long as I have a case the day my phone arrives that I know I will like. Put a case on as soon as box is open and phone will look like new next year when it's time to upgrade, again.

Ventev - geo Case

Anyone have any experience with a case from Ventev? I've never even heard of them, but looking at their site it seems they make a lot of products.
Anyways I found this http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=532148&eventPage=1.
Honestly never heard of them myself. The price looks like it may be on the high end for what it seems to be, but if it's good quality then it'd be worth it. If you get one, post back and let us know how it is. I have a cheap Ebay TPU case on the way for now but I'm keeping my eye out for a good one.

Thanks, I saw that. I've had 2 piece cases on my other phones in the past (incipio, body glove) and I actually prefer the cheap TPU ones best. The cheap TPU ebay/amazon ones (like this: http://tinyurl.com/ct4ktzd) are really low profile, slide in and out of the pocket easily, are flexible yet firm enough to absorb shock from reasonably high drops and only cost like $3. Hopefully someone comes out with one for the OG soon. I might buy one of those ones you linked to in the meantime.

I will be gone all week for work, so you will probably have yours first. Will look for your post.
Ventev Case
The case arrived and fits the AT&T LG Optimus G E970.
The case consists of 2 parts, a TPU case and a Polycarbonate back cover. The Polycarbonate back cover can be taken off and you can then just use the TPU case.
All buttons remain functional with the case even though the case covers them, and all of the ports and the camera remain functional and accessible.
I have no problem slipping in or taking the phone out of my pocket with the case on.
The case does add significant thickness and heft to the phone, but the case seems solid.
I should mention that I ordered the case from Amzer.com, but it looks identical, and has Ventev printed on the back Polycarbonate cover.

Thanks for the info. Can you, please, check that there are cut outs for both mics (the top and the bottom)? Thanks.

There are cutouts for both the bottom and top mics.
Can you please take some pictures when you have some free time? The only picture online is the one just showing the back.
What about power button notification light?

The quality isn't great, but it should give you an idea.
Let me know if you need something clearer and I'll get out my DSLR.

The notification light gets covered up unfortunately.
Here's some crappy pictures. Only complaint is the tpu rubber part fits really tight. It was hard to get in and lifted up the corner of the screen protected. But took it straight from mailbox and put on phone, so maybe I should have let it warm up.
Thanks for the pictures, folks. I'll probably go ahead and get the Ventev case for now until Otterbox comes out If it does, of course).
So, from what I see, the Amzer and Ventev cases are identical, except for the logo on the back?

Bumper case anyone?

With the soft grip/nylon/leather back & strong screen this phone to me seems like an ideal canidate for a bumper case to protect the edges from getting scratched up. Anyone found/using one?
Thanks
Never had any luck with bumper cases. Always seemed to peel off when taking phone out my pocket. I just go with a full case but I always try and find one not so bulky.
Usually Verizon puts one out for their droids I think.

Moto X Pure comes with a bumper case, but I think that's because of the high likelihood of screen breakage on the phone.

Yes, I was hoping the Turbo came with one too. Haven't found one online or in a store yet.

I'm very happy with this TPU case ordered from Amazon.com. It is offered in a few colors. They are about as thin a case as I have ever used. I did have a thin hard shell case for my Moto X that I liked a bit better. But, this does the trick and improves the handling.

I haven't seen anyone making just a nice simple rubber bumper yet for this phone.
If you find one, please post it!
I would really want a bumper one friend of mine has a moto x and it look really clean.
Incipio Bumper?
I emailed Incipio and asked if they had plans to make a bumper for the T2. Maybe it would help if more people emailed them and asked. Here is the email I got back.
Hello,
Thank you for the email. At this time we are not sure if we are going to release a bumper case for the Moto Droid Turbo 2. We kindly ask that you follow us on social media and sign up for our newsletter for upcoming announcements and release dates.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Urban Armor Gear makes a great case. Have it on for two days and love it

I bought the Casemate Tough case from the Verizon store. Nice, thin case with texture for grip.
I also got the leather back... I'm sure it'll look nice to the guy who buys the phone from me.

any updates for a bumper/wrapper?
i ended up getting a cheapie $6 clear case to hold me over, tempted to ghetto it and cut off the back

I've tried cutting a case before and ruined it. In my case what happened was the edges where the cuts were made ended up rubbing on my hand wrong. It felt sharp. I used a good metal file to remove the sharp edges. Then it just looked like crap.

Yeah, ive done this also...with similar bad results
it sucks to have such an amazing phone and there be such a lack of accessories...I just want a nice metal frame case thin af...or a clear bumper only....a full case isnt needed when you have a nice custom phone you want to show off....why if moto makes a nice bumper for the mxp they dont make one for all their phones....anyone know a way we can request maybe if enough people do we can get something going
The cimo brand TPU case is the thinnest one I have found. I've ordered several to try. I can live with it.

Update: I like the case, it's thin, well made, the phone does not slide around inside of the case, the ports are cut clean and accurately.
