So I'm gonna upgrade to the HTC droid DNA in two weeks and have been trying to look for cases to buy for it. I saw a couple good ones that I'll most likely get but I'm a little bit bummed that there's not that many cases out there for the DNA.I've looked at amazon and eBay and both of them are selling about the same cases as the other kinda wish there was more selection cases for this phone..
But..all in all I'm excited to upgrade to this phone
I got the one they sell at the Verizon store its pretty nice got a kickstand. I don't use the holster.

I got the minisuit flex from amazon for about $5. I love it. Very snug fit. Barely noticeable.

I'm really, really happy with my seido surface. It's pretty thin and doesn't hide the sleek shape of the phone, but it still protects the screen somewhat and I feel like my phone is safe using it.
I'm thinking if getting the incipio feather case http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AMAJCTS/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1361761617&sr=8-1&pi=SL75 trynna look for the cheapest place I can get it though either that or the diztronic case http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A9YJ48Q/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1361761751&sr=8-1&pi=SL75
Or maybe this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A7HYB3S/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1361762044&sr=8-3&pi=SL75 its an aluminum sticker like that covers the whole phone I'd figure this can act as my case at the same time keep the full feel of the slim design of the phone

Free if anyone in the Bay Area wants to teach me how to root the DNA.
I got the Seidio surface case too, I dont like the form factor as much as the Feather, the feather is more stylish IMO, the color on the Seidio is clearly superior but the case is thicker so it adds more bulk. I wish the feather came in red.
One thing to make sure on DNA when purchasing a case is that it has a hole on back so you can see the rear notification light....a lot of cases on the market don't have the extra hole...

Does anyone wirelessly charge their DNA with the case on? I have an otterbox commuter case and have zero issues other then the charging. I noticed the DNA gets hot but then I noticed the rubber inner liner of the case. Anyone else have this issue?
just got the poetic palette slim case. nice fit, all the right holes (lol), very sleek. not much for protection if you drop the phone, but thats not going to happen (knock on wood)

I realize this case is two pieces, a silicone piece and an outer hard shell. Is this hard shell metal or plastic? This case looks amazing, I've been eyeballing the red and black one to match the phones aesthetics, but the price is kinda steep. Thanks
Also one last thing, how much space is left around the headphone jack? My headphone jack has a wide plastic surrounding that doesn't allow me to insert the headphones all the way into the port while the case is on.
---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------
The first case I got was the Diztronic. This was an excellent case, very very snug, it looks great and provides great protection. I also use a screen protector and I found out that the Diztronic fit so snug that it pushed up the edges of the screen protector. If you cut the corners of the screen protector this can remedy this problem. Another issue I found with the Diztronic was the headphone jack. I use Shure SE215 headphones, the jack input is very wide. With the case on the headphones wouldn't stay fully inserted. I did however find it very easy to cut the case around the headphone jack to allow the input to stay seated properly.
I've moved on to the Body Glove Dropsuit, this case is awesome. Like the Diztronic, it looks great, provides superior protection, allows access to the power and volume keys very easily (almost too easy), microphone and speaker cutouts and allows me to use an edge to edge screen protector. I've been using this case for several weeks now.
Note that both the Diztronic and the Body Glove DO NOT have a cut out for the notification light on the back of the phone.
Hope this helps!
Seidio Surface
I got the Seidio Surface case in black (not gonna worry about photos, I'm sure several exist on here or the web), and I am overall happy with it. It fits very nicely, doesn't add a lot of bulk, and all features are visible (lights and stuff).
One thing I am very happy about is the fact that it makes the power and volume buttons a little harder(?) to press. This makes me less likely to inadvertently run the ringtone volume down to silent just by picking up the phone, and I can put it into my backpack or lunch bag without pressing the power button and turning the screen on.
One slight irritation is that it caused the screen protector - which completely covers the screen - to bubble up on the edges where the case touches the screen edge, but that is minor - I could just trim the screen protector a little, if I was so inclined...
I like this case.

I have the Otterbox defender. No worries about the safety of my phone. It also feels thin because it's way thinner than my old bionic case.

I have both of these. The case is okay but the buttons are very hard to press. Fit is decent. I am taking my case back. The screen protectors are good. Fit is good but takes some work to make it perfectly aligned so they don't bubble on the edges.

I also purchased the 3$ case from Amazon (with shipping). Very good fit. Too bad I was walking to the mailbox to get the case and dropped my phone! ahh... At least I didn't crack the screen.
Just got my ringke GS2 ATT case from today and its awesome. There is also a mic cutout for the noise cancellation mic. The texture and feel is nice and smooth. The case is very detail and it is really slim. Loving this thing on my phone. I might just get the screen protector too.
I've had this one for a little over a week now and love it. It's the highest quality TPU case I've tried on anything so far. The trim around the bezel fits tightly, there's a top mic cutout for AT&T, and the volume button overlay is easy to press. The power/wake button is just a cutout, which both makes it really easy to find and push but hard to accidentally press in a pocket. There were a couple of spots where there was a little extra material, but nothing an x-acto couldn't fix quickly.
$9.90 and Prime eligible for the matte version and screen protector.

I just received my case like this and I think it was a great buy for the money. My case fits perfectly and has the cutout for the mic.
Has anyone tried the new Rearth Slim cases? I am considering buying it. I can't post links because i don't have enough posts, but just search Rearth

I haven't tried this one so I can't help you but I figured i would post the link for you.
ive had it since mid october...it was the closest to incipio because they didnt have a case out yet...its all i need...slim..one rubber piece..easy on and off...does the job for me...id go for incipio though..theres comes with screen protectors
I've had the rearth case for about 2 months, I like it except when I got it it was slightly loose not enough for me to care but now its loosened to the point where the case is starting to cover the camera and if I push it up the mic and lower speakers are halfway covered

@nizda1:
Are you talking about the Ringke or the Ringke Slim? I have both. The Ringke is soft and pliable. I can see it loosening up. The Slim is quite rigid and snaps onto the corners of the phone. The top and bottom are covered, along with the corners, but the sides are exposed down to the controls. This is quite a slim case!
Yea I was, just checked out the slim looks nice, how do you like it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
Ooo, I kinda like this one! Can make our black units, pretty much white and it covers the whole back! But $25...
I've had it on since since day 1. Love it.
I like it better than anything I've tried to date. It's about the "least" amount of case that I've seen. About the only thing that I would change is that being glossy, the back is beginning to show some very minor scratching from being set down on hard surfaces. If Rearth offered it in a matte finish I'd be all over it.
Just bought that case in Noble Black. Will review it upon arrival.
i have used this case and the SGP Neo.
This case is excellent. It's as minimal as can be, fits well, and looks good.
Good case!
Good to hear fellas.
It'll be here tomorrow, according the tracking from the shipping. Anything I ever ordered that goes through the post service always arrives the day after it goes through this one center.

This, along with their newer silicone case for the i777 are supposed to have the correct placement for the noise cancelling microphone.
Just got mine in. It does have the mic cut out next to the headphone jack.
Just got mine. Overall I'm digging it. Case is thin and probably doesn't offer much in the way of protection buy that's the price to pay for looks. It being black shiny hard plastic I already see two scratches. Just got to make sure not have the case in the same pocket as my keys and ill be good.
Well the title pretty much says it all, just a basic thread asking some basic questions.
1) Do you use a case?
- If so which one?
- how do you like it?
- are you considering something else?/ If so which one? and why?
- Does it make the phone feel bulky?
2) Do you use a screen protector
-if so which one?

-are you considering something else?/ If so which one? and why?
-If you do not use a screen protector have you had any issues with scratches?

1. Yep. Right now I have a TPU case but I'm looking at an Otterbox or something similar. Need to protect it better from work.
2. Oh heck yes. Despite being Gorilla Glass screen scratches still happen. I currently use a Zagg invisibleSHIELD. They have a life time guarantee and mild scratches tend to heal so you no longer see them. I won't be switching to another screen protector because these work so well.
1) Yes.
Had this one: Transparent Clear Protector Case Phone Cover For Verizon HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE. Fit well, appeared to be good quality, but was bulky and slippery.
Switched to this one: Fosmon S-Curve Soft Shell TPU Case for HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE - Black Like it much better. Fits well, Not at all bulky or slippery.
2) Also Yes
Have this one: GreatShield Ultra Smooth Clear Screen Protector. Very clear, but super fingerprinty. Will likely switch to something matte someday
I am currently using a TPU case, but I am waiting for Seidio to announce their surface case/belt clip combo for this phone; I've use the Seidio surface with all my previous phones.
I used to use a screen protector but stopped about a year ago.
i use the Trident Aegis case.
so far, I love it.
http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/htc-fireball-adr6410l/aegis-case-htc-fireball-adr6410l.aspx
Come with the screen protector that is pretty good quality. It is less bulky than the Ballistic case (which i also have).
Issues with the Trident are the headphone jack cutout is not wide enough in the direct of the front of the phone, needs to be filed out a bit and it's fine. The hard portion of the case is a little slippery, the guitar pick shaped area in the back is for the silicon to come through and give you non-slip when laying it on its back, this guitar pick area could be a little bigger or the hard part a less slippery material.
The colors don't seem to be quite as vivid as they look on the site, i got the blue, instead of being as bright as it is on the site, its more muted of a blue which is still nice, but not as nice.
The size to protection ration is perfect for me though. I wouldnt be afraid to drop it but can still use it as my everyday case. Also the silicon is a dust resistant one, Lint comes off very easy.
I was not happy with the ballistic due to its size and the silicon on it is a lint magnet. The ballistic corners on it while nice for grip, make getting it in/out of a pocket a pain. The hard shell on the ballistic has a much nicer feel though and is not slippery. The ballistic also does not come with a screen protector.
awesome, thanks for the answers guys!
guys it's my turn!
1) I use TPU black case from Verizon only when going on and I think I may need the extra protection.
I really like the fit of the TPU case it fits very snug, and the cut-outs for the power and the volume buttons make it a perfectly made cse + cheap. :good:
2) Un-characteristuic of me, but YES, I currently do have one on, my dad got the phone the same day and got a package, so I tossed one on.
but I took it off tonight.
don't need it TBH.
gorilla glass will scratch yes, but I'm very OCD lol.
I'm using the Incipio Feather, very nice on this phone. Seems better quality than the one I had on my Inc2.
Using some Verizon screen protectors because they were 10 bucks. Not too bad but they have camera and proximity sensor cutouts which I don't like, so I'll find some that cover the entire front.
Actually saw a very small scratch in the top right corner of the screen the first few days - decided it was worth peice of mind to spend $10 on a screen protector rather than find out gorrilla glass could scratch somewhere more irritating later. Picked up the verizon screen covers and the one on there seems to be holding up against scratches too. They don't cover the sensors/cam spots on the front as mentioned above but since those are over black areas scratches may not too bad (??)
I also tend to drop my phone every once in a while so I grabbed a cheap black/white TPU case off amazon (I think it was $15 with shipping) but the cut outs are too narrow and the volume rocker is really hard to push to activate. I'm waiting on Seidio to release an active case option and if they don't (or its not what I'm looking for) I'll probably go to incipio duo pro sycrillic's line.
I've just order the S-Curve TPU case and the Cruzerlite Androidified TPU case. Gotta see which one feels/fits better. Since the Inc4G isn't as wide as my Inc2, I think the added bulk won't be a problem. One question I have is about the TPU material sliding in and out of jeans pockets. Does it get stuck and pick up lint like the silicon case or is it fairly slick? Is it gonna be a battle royal every time I want to pull this thing out of my pocket?

No case yet but I do have an anti glare screen protector that also doenst really pick up fingerprints. I had an otterbox for my inc2 but stopped using it after a week or so.

I've been looking around online for really low profile cases and noticed that the case mate barely there and the Incipio Feather light are almost the same case (both 6oz, minimal protection, etc.) I want to order one but I'm wondering which one (if either) protects the corners of the device. From the pictures it seems that the top and bottom are not covered. I was just wondering from people who have had experience with these cases, which protects the corners better? And do either of them have a lip over the screen? If you have both then comparison pictures would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance

I'm in the same boat as you - I'd like to see a comparison between these two (or a review of either, really).
Best I can tell from their websites/descriptions, neither really covers the top/bottom or corners. From the images, it looks like the Feather kind of tapers flush with the phone at the edges a little better (a little more sleek). The Barely There has holes for a wrist strap/tether/charm thing, if you're looking for that.
The Feather has a few more colors available (black, pink, blue, and grey), but I was able to find the Barely There in three colors (black, white, and pink).
I don't see a whole lot of difference, although you can get the Feather for a bit cheaper from Incipio's website for the remainder of the month with a coupon code (SUM2012 - gives you 20% off, I believe).
I had been fond of the Incipio Feather cases since my Blackberry days... I had bad luck with case mate barely there cases breaking on me. Then I found the Amzer Shellster case and holster combo and I will never go back. more durable and a better feel.
I just got the Incipio feather case in the mail today...I had the diztronic before that. Probably post a review/some pics tomorrow. I really like the feather, brings out the beautiful design of the evo and looks much better than the diztronic. Can't say about the case mate

i've had the spigen snap case, and loved it. design and looks just fit perfectly with the phone. only problem was it not sturdy. i think i had it for a week before taking it off to install a new sd card and the case broke. hopefully the feather or the barely there are stronger in quality. these snap cases are awesome though.
nope, never could put this little protection on my evo, I take my LTEVO through too much **** lol
i was looking for a white case like this and bought this, type "White Rubberized Hard Snap-On Case Cover FOR HTC EVO 4G LTE Sprint Accessory" in ebay (sorry cant post links). The case sticks out more than the phone on the bottom but doesnt protect the front corners. The case does not cover the top nor does it stick out more and does not protect the corners. The case sticks out very slightly along the sides of the phone giving it a reallllly slight lip. Does not provide lip for the camera, so the camera stick outs verry little. Its matte white so its a bit slippery.
Black barely there case arrived today. Its great. Slim profile, premium feel. Definitely gets my recommendation.

Can anyone give me some insight on feather/snap on cases. Do they scratch or smudge the chrome/paint on the side or outer edges of the phone from simple every day use. I ordered an incipio feather case for my Samsung galaxy note 3 and I am kinda worried that it will mess up the edges of the phone by having it on.
Haven't seen anyone show pics of the Incipio Feather for our Evo LTE so thought I'd post a quick review. I have had the Diztronic case on my Evo since the first day I bought it. It is a great case and protects fairly well but I found myself taking the phone out and carrying it naked due to how good it looks without a case. So once I saw the feather was out for the Evo I had to get it.
The Incipio Feather is a little more expensive than the Diztronic, $20 vs $10 with a coupon but worth it in my opinion. It is a hard shell that snaps on but is just as thin if not thinner than the Diztronic. I figured the hard shell might also help in avoiding the phone bend that some have had. The Incipio has a very smooth matte finish which complements the Evo very well.
The Feather covers the entire back and the sides of the phone. There are cutouts for the volume buttons, camera button and charging port. One great advantage of the Incipio is that the power button is not covered so it is much easier to press than with the Diztronic. I've attached pictures that show all angles of the case. The bottom lip of the case extends past the bottom part of the phone and the top part of the cover extends to the same level as the phone. Lastly the sides do not extend past the screen but rather at the same level. That is if you place the phone screen down on a flat surface it doesn't elevate the screen. This is a downside but the phone looks so good I have no desire to take it off. Please let me know if anyone has any questions.. Thanks
Which ROM are you running? Is it bug free? Thanks for the review by the way.

I meant questions about the case. Lol. No prob though, I'm running cleanromDe. Quite honestly its the best ROM for me. I love nova and being able to customize the launcher so I don't need sense. I have lots of free memory and no lag. I would def recommend trying it out if you haven't

Looks pretty nice. I was kinda hoping it was raised above the screen a bit.
Does the strip above the volume buttons feel flimsy at all? That was my biggest complaint with the Cruzerlite Androidify.
My wife is getting on me about having too many cases so the next one I get has to be my last and has to be the best lol.

The strip by the volume buttons feels very sturdy and doesn't bend with moderate pressure. I don't want to press too hard and have it break but it is definitely not flimsy.

Both of these are very similar to the Spigen hard case I purchased and had at the ready before my LTEvo arrived in the mail.
(Not allowed to post links yet, as I'm new here, but it is Spigen's snap case for the Evo 4G LTE)
It is basically the smoothest case I've seen for any phone, and looks like the photo when mounted in real life. Unfortunately, the corner strip where the volume rocker is was a bit too fragile. My case broke at that spot less than 2 days of owning it, and I've since read reviews complaining about the same thing.
It's been mentioned that the Incipio feels pretty sturdy in that area, but I'm still wary of that, especially if these cases are made of polycarbonate like the one I purchased.

I was rockin the sgp version as well. Loved it. But.
It's to fragile, it cracked when i was trying to take it off. Also, it isn't very grippy, and i always feel like it's going to slip out of your hand. Scratches pretty easily to. It's all rubbed where it rests on a table. From vibrating when it rings.
Ordered the incipio feather, and ngp. Will compare them with the spigen when they arrive tomorrow.
Where did you order the feather from? I can't find it on their website or Amazon. I jumped the gun on one last week and misread the item so I ended up with one for the OG Evo.
