Yesterday I took delivery of a CaseMate Tough. I looked around for ages but couldn't find anything I really liked the look of. Then I stumbled upon the 'Tough'. Well, it is the best case there is for the Desire, bar none. Here's why:
It has a black (and it is actually a solid black) rubber inner and a black outer made from a harder material. Great protection and great looking.
The two fit inside each other perfectly to create the perfect case. It is grippy to hold (phone now actually feels better to hold than without the case.
It does not get in the way of any part of the screen and importantly, does not cover the proximity sensor.
It does not cover the bottom buttons.
It is a nice tight fit - no baggy sides!
It covers the volume buttons which is great because it stops me from changing the volume accidentally (which was very annoying).
All the cut-outs are perfect - this is for the Desire, not a Nexus one - the shape of the hard outer even follows the contour of the chin on the Desire.
Combined with a Martin Fields screen protector (also awesome) there is nothing else you will ever need.
Got mine from Play.com for
