If not an Otterbox...then what?

February 2, 2015 7:08 PM

I tend to be very rough on phones and my beloved cell phone case maker otterbox does not make a case for my new phone (HTC Desire 601/ZARA) What would you get instead and what site would you buy it from?

Thanks :)

Response by poster: Note: Ballistic, my second choice, doesn't make cases for 601 either--I checked :(

Does Spigen make a case for this? Because I love mine sooooo much more than my previous otterbox.

My second choice is always Incipio, and they have two 601 cases it looks like. I always go for the dual layer cases as I am accident prone and drop my phone (Galaxy Note 3) constantly.

The DualPro case seems to be $5-$10 cheaper on amazon depending on the color.

Good luck. :D

I've used a Trident case on my HTC One for two years and it's been perfect. I got mine off Amazon.

Had a Trident, had an Otterbox, love my LifeProof - but I don't think they make a case for your phone. Bummer.

Seconding Spigen. Their cases are marvelously made in a variety of levels of protection, ranging from you-can-hardly-tell-it's-there to super-duper-shock-absorbent-practically-combat-ready. And the prices are so much lower than Otterbox you may be embarrassed you ever bought into that.

I have a Spigen case for a Galaxy Note and it's survived a fair few 1-2 foot drops into hard floors so I would recommend them too.
