Accessories Rubber/Gel cases that don't collect lint when put in pocket?

I want to get a rubber/gel case for my HTC 4G Inspire, but don't want one that collects lint and what not and is a pain to take in and out of my pocket.

Is there such a case, or should I just go the route of a hard case?
 
check out the HTC inspire TPU case on ebay. I have been using those on both my inspire and captivate. its a mix of rubber and plastic (more rubber but stiffer than silicone). The one in the link is the one i bought. when you search through them make sure you are buying from the US i ordered one fom Japan and it took 2 weeks and the fit around the camera is off. The one i got from the US (link below) the hole around the camera fits better and also the rim comes out a little further than the camera so when you set the phone down you dont have to worry about the camera rubbing on the table or whatnot

The amzer jelly skin cases are really good if u want a silicone case. They have a grippy but also slick surface so i doesnt collect any lint while in your pocket. U can find them on amazon and are relatively cheap. :)
 
I've been using the Speck Candy Shell case and it is very easy to get in and out of my pocket, and it does not seem to attract/hold lint - I've been very pleased with it.

I think it comes out a bit more expensive than the others mentioned though you can currently get 25% off all AT&T accessories so that helps some. But, you could also run by your local AT&T store and actually check it out in person before deciding whether you like it or not.

bought it

thanks for the link!
 
I prefer the TPU cases. They are just the right consistency material. And though they take a while to get here from China they are very cheap! I am starting to see US sellers now, too.
 
The one I got from china had an uneven fit around the camera lense so when I put the phone down the metal around it was still scraping whatever surface I laid it on but the one from the US has an even rim all the way around slightly higher than the lense so it prevents the lense from touching the surface of whatever I lay it on.

That looks like a pretty decent case. Kind of like the one I had on my Captivate. I can't tell, does it come with a clear plastic for the glass? I hate anything on the glass.
 
same case that is for the captivate ( if you are referring to the argyle cases for the captivate, i also have it on my captivate) some sellers are including a screen protector but the one I linked to is just the case

The one I got for my Captivate is the one I got at the AT&T store. I will order this one and check it out. For 7 bucks. I can't complain. :)
 
The body glove one? I got one of those too. Yeah for $7 it aint a bad deal, I plan on getting some more but def all from US sellers (prob just from the seller I linked too cause so far the 2 I got from him are better than the china one)

Yea, the body glove. I just ordered from the same seller as you did on ebay. I picked the smoke color one.
