Spigen Rugged Armor
While most rugged cases are made out of a combination of materials, Spigen’s Rugged Armor Case for the HTC 10 adopts single-layer TPU build.
As far as protection is concerned, the Spigen Rugged Armor case protects the HTC 10 by including the case maker’s trademarked Air Cushion technology. Furthermore, the case also features a 1.2mm lip that ensures that the screen can safely be placed on flat surfaces. On the back, there’s a 1.5mm lip for protecting the lens of the primary camera.
Spigen Neo Hybrid
If you’re looking for advanced protection for your phone, Spigen also offers a beefed up rugged case for the HTC 10 called the Neo Hybrid Case.
This one comes with a soft polyurethane inner layer that’s tasked with absorbing shocks and a rigid PC outer frame that helps protect the phone against bumps and also adds grip and style to the equation.
Like the Armor Case, the Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the HTC 10 features a 1.2mm raised lip to protect the phone when placed or dropped screen-first on flat surfaces. The case also features metalized PC buttons.
Incipio Dual Pro
Moving on to another popular smartphone case maker, the Incipio Dual Pro Hard Shell Case puts rugged protection first and looks second. This is another two-layered case: a hard polycarbonate frame provides impact protection while the soft TPU inner core absorbs shock.
This rugged case for the HTC 10 comes in four color variants: Black, Cyan/Charcoal, Iridescent Red/Black, and Pink/Charcoal.
i-Blason Prime
Moving on to another rugged HTC 10 case that offers both ultimate protection and a built-in kickstand, it’s time to talk about the i-Blason Prime.
In terms of build, the i-Blason Prime consists out of a shock-absorbing inner sleeve as well as a hard outer shell for enhanced protection. For even better protection, the corners of the case are thicker so as to protect the phone in case of drops.
On the back, you’ll find a kickstand that’s perfect for watching movies as well as an optional belt clip.
Seidio Surface
If you’re often using your HTC 10 for watching movies or any sort of video content, then you might be interested in a rugged case that also doubles as a kickstand. If so, check out the Seido HTC 10 case.
The build is a combination of TPU and hard polycarbonate and offers a high degree of protection overall. The cover buttons are made out of a flexible plastic that ensures smooth operation.
Body Glove
Moving on to a case with a more angular look, the Body Glove HTC 10 case features a unique octagonal design that some may love (although some certainly won’t). The Body Glove is thinner than most cases on the list, but still offers a durable outer layer that protects the phone.
Interestingly, the back is offered in fake aluminum and wood options, which further add to the unique look of the case.
Tech21 Evo Check case for HTC 10
The Evo Check is one of the most expensive rugged armor HTC 10 cases that we’ve included in this list, but may be well worth its salt if you’re looking for extreme drop protection without adding too much bulk or ruining the beautiful design of the HTC 10.
According to the manufacturer, the Evo Check rugged HTC 10 case will withstand drops from 6.6 feet. Furthermore, the translucent mesh on the back allows the beautiful design of the HTC 10 to shine on.
It is a bold claim indeed, but the Evo Check may be well fit for it. This tough HTC 10 case is designed to endure drops from 6.6 feet (2 meters) without being overly bulky or unattractive. In fact, its translucent mesh design looks quite nice. On the downside, the Evo Check is relatively expensive.
