Using the S-line case at the mo, I like it because it ads grip while keeping it feeling slimmer than the the SuperGets dual layer case:

Been looking at other covers with kick stands so the kids can watch videos / kids bed time apps like Dr Seuss.

My case saved the phone today; dropped it onto a concrete floor from pocket height, all good (thankfully)

I almost got one of those, but I feel the the TPU give better grip and protection.

I've not got any insurance on it yet, so avoiding a f#cked phone is preferable  :grin:

I've got one of the faux leather wallet cases that opens sideways. Pretty decent I think, as it covers the back, sides and the front so can be carried in pocket with keys and not worry about scratches.

Pros

Good protection

Looks smart

Can carry a few cards and notes in there, although it makes the wallet thicker and the magnetic strip that keeps it locked is not as good, so 1 card is the maximum unless you don't mind it not locking as well

Cons

As above with the number of cards you can carry

When the case is open it can make it awkward to carry unless you fold it under, in which case it makes the phone bulky

Tricky to pull phone out of pocket with one hand and open the case and fold it under



But for £4 from ebay I'm not complaining, I like it!

I've got a Rock quicksand clip on case on mine. Its very thin and light and has a nice grippy tactile feel to it like some of the HTC's.
