BEST CASE?

[stormwrx]

I bought this case for $8.95 from tpu-cases.com.

HTC Thunderbolt High Gloss Black Flexible TPU Case HTC Thunderbolt High Gloss Black TPU Case [] - $8.95 : TPU-CASES.COM, - All TPU Cases Shipped Free in the USA

I'm very happy with it. It doesn't add much bulk at all (in fact, it is quite thin), it has all of the proper cutouts, and I think it would protect the phone well if I dropped it (knock on wood).

Before I bought the above TPU case from tpu-cases.com, I ran the TPU case made by HTC:

http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-tpu-skin-case/4A54A7972.htm

The HTC case is quite a bit thicker, and oddly enough, it did not have the cutout above the camera flash for those two little holes, nor did it have the cutout under the speaker for that rubber circle. I called HTC and asked them why their case didn't have the cutouts, and they had no explanation. My external speaker didn't sound as good with the HTC case on, so I'm thinking that the rubber circle and small holes above the flash may have acoustic importance in addition to possible RF purposes. Also, with the HTC case, some of my monoprice.com USB cables were difficult to plug in.

So, the cheaper case from tpu-cases.com is way better IMO.

Thanks Guys. I think I'm going to go with the Innocase II. I appreciate all of your responses. Any tips on screen protectors? I want one that has a snug fit and doesn't take away too much from the beauty of he screen. Is invisible shield the best? *I think its called invisible shield?

I just picked up the $29.95 case they sell at the Verizon stores. Decent looking, non-slip rubber feel, belt clip that flips over and pops out as a kick stand and an extra plug-type piece so you can take the belt clip off and plug the clip's mounting hole with it. I get a 23% discount on everything through my company's purchase plan deal with Verizon so it was only $25 with the tx. All in all quite a decent offering.

Not really sure who actually makes the case from Best Buy, but I got the fifty dollar case, and I think it was one of the best investments I could have made. I was looking at getting a Otterbox case whenever they came out with one for it, but this works for me. Put a Zagg Invisishield on first, then the 3 parts of the case, along with the holster, I fell pretty good about what I have.

Could it be rocketfish? I know with the palm cases they would scratch the devices up pretty bad.

I will second that this VW is quite good. My wife uses a similar one for her iPhone.

I dont really know who makes it, as it doesnt have a name on it at all. It comes in a tubal type case, but it is pretty good over all.

That's the platinum case that BB sells. Comes with holster.

What is the BEST case for the Thunderbolt? Im interested in a rubber but hard case, not the jelly ones

The BEST case is a personal preference.

Best case for what?

Underwater video?
Hiking in jungles of Africa?
Going out on the town to a 5 star restaurant?
Sitting in your bedroom texting your friends?

Some people love the tank covers that Otterbox makes.
Some like the sleek look of barely there cases.

I have always like Seidio cases, I have a couple (soon to be several)

Surface II and the Rugged add-on to the surface II

I will most likely get the ACTIVE X as well, when it starts shipping.

I will be using my phone in space, on a rocket ship. We get 5g up there

Best screen protector for beauty I would say is the SGP Crystal Screen Protector, if you want antifingerprint/antiglare (but degrades the screen quality a tiny bit) get the Ultra Fine one.

Yeah, that is it, however, still cant seem to find a name on who makes it at all. Either way, it was $50, but a good investment for me. In the Army, so my phones have been known to take a beating at work, dropping from on top of vehicles and things like that. Haven't dropped this one in the case yet,but I will feel a little bit better about it when I do.
