What case do you have for your phone?
on: October 15, 2010, 08:19:22 PM
That's right, just wondering what cases you use, currently for my phone im using one of these



just a basic leather pouch but the otterbox cases for the htc desire have finally come out so im thinking about one of those too

is there much difference between their commuter and defender cases?

any other recommendations welcome too

im worried about mine on site though ive already dropped it a couple of times i know its insured but id rather not go that route if a case would stop that from happening  :)

however the case is good for stopping those mysterious scratches that appear when you put the phone in your pocket for no reason

Don't use cases anymore. Given the life expectancy of electronics nowadays, keep it sparking new when you are going to retire it in a few years anyway is pretty pointless.

Otterbox Commeter for my iPhone 3G, had this 3 pack bargain so I can change colours according to what shoes I'm wearing :D

Sillyness aside, it's a really good case.

Nite Ize Executive Series

It was a gift from Bob at Pock-its.com and is probably the best phone holster I've ever used.

That Otterbox setup is one of the reasons I'm seriously considering an iPhone next.... there doesn't seem to be any Droid versions of it out there.

I found a nice Griffin case for my iphone that has a macro lens included. The lens is quite good for a bit but tends to trap dust under the glass and you end up with fuzzy photos till it gets a good clean.

Best bit is that I got if for £0 in a sale due to an accounting error in my favour  :tu:

The phone is the easy part- it's the extension cord that's a killer!  :D

Shirt or pants pocket , usually the document pocket of a 5-11 shirt .

My phone is a basic POS / annoyance , if I ever got a fancy smart phone , I would use a case .

I think Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.

For my htc diamond touch I use just the leather pouch that came with it.
And for my old siemens M65 I use nothing. Love it. Can't stand talking with the htc (which is great for internet, playing around etc, but for talking I can't stand it :-X)

thats the one ive been looking at

well i thought about it and this case looked overkill and i was put off by allan saying the screen protector didn't fit very well on his commuter case so i went out and ordered a case mate tough case and im pleased i did, i hadn't even heard of the brand before monday and now im very impressed both with the case and the after care

i messed up putting the screen protector on and within half an hour of asking case mate how to get a replacement they offer to ship me one for free! all they asked for in return was cookies 

enough babling heres a pic or 2

Mophie Juice Pack Air on my iPhone 3G, it just about doubles your battery life and protects your phone at the same time  :tu:

I just ordered a Outter box for my new Iphone 4. http://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-Defender-Hybrid-Case-iPhone/dp/B00415AU46/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1287376878&sr=8-7

Mike

There's very likely going to be an iPhone 4 in my near future, and I'm looking at the Defender case form Otter, the Ballistic HC case and the Innocase from Seidio.  I don't mind some extra bulk if the case is tough enough, but none of them seem to offer any kind of water protection.

Looks useful Ryan, But actually it doesn't look like your screen protector is any bigger than the one I got with my Otterbox, so
maybe it's just me being _________..  :think: You know.. :P  :P
