i'm so close to at the very least going without a screen protector for real....

need a case cause it just doesn't feel right in hand without one. not sure i want any of the bulky otterbox ones.... we really need to find some accessory review vids, plus seidio, SGB, etc to get of buts and release some stuff

I emailed seidio a few days ago asking if they had plans to make a case for the rezound. They told me that it depends on the demand and popularity of the device and that my request has been forwarded to product devlopment. Maybe it would help if more people sent emails to them. I love the seidio cases, I have used one on my last few phones. The otter box defender case is a really big case and the only one that they make with a belt clip. Anyone know of a quality case with a belt clip for the rezound? Other than the one that verizon sells? Doing electrical work, I am worried that while in a crawl space the phone would slide out of the case without me feeling it. This case issue has been keeping me from pulling the trigger.

Hey HTCPedia Shop, any info on when Seidio is gonna get off their duff and come up with an Innocase/holster combo for the Rezound? TIA...

Yea, I'm leaning towards getting a cheapy and waiting for seidio to release something. Those otterboxes look giant

The rubber is also somewhat of a dust magnet, as you can see by the pics....

Yea that is exactly what I figured... the otterbox commuter looked a bit smaller though they still can't touch seidio in form and functionality (imo)
 
So I'm taking it the rezound does not share perfect battery compatibility with any other device like my incredible and the Evo did? I cant find any info anywhere on this. I threw my stock incredible battery in the trash after I got 2 stock Evo batteries.

What about the sensation, sensation xe or amaze? They aren't compatible?
 
I really don't get why so many people like Otterbox's. While they do provide great phone protection, they also in turn, turn your phone into a brick. That thing above now looks like the OG iPhone.
 
Just a quick note, I was on HTCPedia's site just now and the 1700mAh and 1800mAh batteries for the Rezound are no longer on the site. Either it was a mistake by their web people, or maybe since those batteries are 3.7V you get the triangle with the ! in the notification bar. No matter what the difference in capacity wouldn't have made a lot of difference in battery life, so probably no loss there.

Now I'm just trying to decide if I want to go with that 2750 or not. I usually use TPU cases and the ones for extended batteries are basically a standard case with the area for the extended battery cut out. I understand that way they don't have to remanufacture a new case, but I could do the same thing with a standard case and an X-acto knife and save myself $15.

lol, I'd rather forego the $15.00 ghetto-fab makeover.

If you've got a sharp knife and a steady hand, it won't look any worse than what they're offering.

The point I was trying to make is that if you're investing in a case, it should cover the phone, not just the sides. That's why (other than helping with the signal) I can't see the point for the "bumpers" that they had for the i4. The glass back is fragile, so why wouldn't you make a case that protects that? To me it just looks like they stretched a livestrong band around it. If I remember correctly, some people did just that and cut out a spot for the dock connector.
 
I was going to make a separate thread, but it's somewhat an "accessory".


Has anyone tried using Netflix or Hulu plus on their Rezound yet? I'm considering killing my Netflix account and going to Hulu plus. I'm curious how much 720p content is available on Hulu Plus.

Oh and maybe we should have a separate sticky for Rezound apps and reviews...maybe my 720p thread could be stickied...COUGH COUGH..... heh

Well It certainly can be a catch all for all 720/HD discussion..... If it is popular (ie stays at top) then I'd say sure... Would like to see some good discussion in there :)

I'm debating on getting Hulu Plus but I want to see if they have 720p content. From what I was reading, if you have a .edu email address they'll give you 1 month free. I have 2....hmmm
 
So I saw Steinheil mentioned for a screen protector and I've used Zagg before (shield finally showed up for Rezound). I bought a cheapie but am tempted to not even try it. Love the feel of it nekkid but I'm a klutz and really don't want to to do anything to the screen.

So Steinheil vs. Zagg . . . which do you prefer?
 
Steinheil gets my vote. By far the best I've ever used. I have not tried a Zagg so I'm not really a good source. I went naked on my Dinc for over a year and have fallen in love with that no protection feeling. I might try a Steinheil when they come out with one.. but likely will run my baby natural.

To anyone who has bought their phones at a verizon store, do they have any accessories in stock yet, like the case with the kickstand?
Click to expand...

I bought at an official verizon store and they did have a kickstand case. I think it was this one or one that is very similar. HTC Rezound Extended Battery Kickstand Case & Holster

I never really liked cases and barely use them after a week. I can say that the kickstand does work well but is hard to open/close and I feel like it will break eventually. Also, the case adds a decent amount of weight and a lot of thickness. It does however fit the extended battery which makes me want to get one.


Also, what do you guys want to stream off your phone? I can't really think of any use I would have for it.
