Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has one, or has seen one, that will accomodate the HD2? Should be collecting my HD2 within next couple of hours and would love to fire up run.gps for a test this evening...
I use the Run.gps branded armband. It's really designed for the HD but works okay with the HD2
the hardware buttons do get covered by the case, but I don't tend to use anything other than the power button when I'm out and that's easy to press.
also the cutout for the headphones is in the wrong place. If you decide to use a corded headphone, then you would need to cut a small hole in the neoprene.
other than that it's great
little bit off, ...
nice to see some run.gps users ou here.
does the run.gps work well with the 800*480?
thanks!
Yes, there is an armband for the HD2 Leo :
Hello Leo users,
I have searched the internet, and up till now, dec 2009, there still isn't a running armband for the HD2. and i could not wait...
As mentioned above, RunGPS sell's an armband that all most fits. You can also buy it under the name - Tune belt / Tunebelt AB82 - it's fully Neoprene, and fits "like a glove" on your upper of lower arm. Thight, the HD2 will not slip out of it during running.
It fit's my HTC HD2 only after a little tweak : removing two sets of stiches at the bottum en re-sow the neoprene. that's it !.
Indeed the 4 standard buttons are hidden, but the Run GPS buttons and screen works verry well.

The Run.gps branded armband isn't the same as the Tunebelt one..
I tried the tunebelt one and preferred the run.gps branded version.
I don't think (despite the similar names) the branded one is made by tunebelt (but I could be wrong).
Tunebelt AB8
Run.gps ABX2
FWIW I don't think the branded one needs your stitch work, (but I may stitch the hole where the original headphone hole was)
Would something like this work or would it be a very tight fit?

I'm thinking about getting one and reading the size differences between the 3gs and HD2; it could work but i don't know.
What about this http://cgi.ebay.com/A012-Armband-Ca...temQQimsxZ20091224?IMSfp=TL091224219003r36209 ?

And the verdict is.......
straight in the bin. doesn't fit and tbh i don't think you'd fit an iphone in it either.
you could probably mess about modding it to fit but it's fugly enough already
just so you guys know, i bought this and it fits the HD2 perfectly.
The seller was confident saying the HD2 would definitely not fit but i bought it anyways. It's made for the iPhone but the HD2 slides just fine with a bit of stretching and a new whole made for the headphone port.
It's extremely high quality too.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280395590555
i bought one of the above and it doesnt fit my hd2 !!!
the link i posted? You sure? It fits my HD2 so i don't know why you cant...
yep same link ! my hd2 is to wide for it? my friends iphone fits ok
It stretches though and doesn't require that much stretching anyways, i'll post a picture of it tomorrow.
I dunno man, not much is available is for the HD2 so i found this as the best alternative.
Bought one of these for £4.99 and it fits no problem!
its a little tight but not that much that you have to make adjustments!

Well there are some from Noreve:

Here we have reviewed some of the best cases for HTC Legend:

I'm looking for an ultra slim pouch similar to those by Sena or Beyza. The one below is a Sena UltraSlim Case for the Nexus One. I reckon Sena won't produce a custom case for the Legend unless a US carrier picks up the phone.
I haven't seen anything that looks even close to this quality and style on eBay yet for the HTC Legend. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm not interested in cheap, crappy quality, generic multi-fit pouches.
Not quite a slim case, but CAPDASE has an interesting pouch (Smart Pocket) with a clear case to see incoming calls.
This one is a "perfect" fit...

this looks nice
For those who prefer a slim snap-case, I will be getting this one even though I would have preferred a Cozip but not available at the moment..
Oh the case is made by BoxWave... have not experienced them in the past. If you know any other company who makes a similar slim snap-case, let me know!

A new one from Otterbox: it's actually one of the better looking ones out there:
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-cases/htc-legend-cases/htc-legend-commuter-series-case/
Yeah that Otterbox is nice. The last Obox i had was for Nokia E71 and it was not as tight as an OEM one for Touch HD I was using last year.
Good build quality.
The obox you mentioned is cheaper than $34 USD though, google found several
I bought one of these on black.
Very happy with it. Good tight fit and doesn't add any bulk to the phone.
However it doesn't provide the greatest protection if you have the misfortune of dropping your Legend.
Edit: Sorry, I was referring slim snap-case by BoxWave.
Upgraded from a G1 and found that the Nexus S fit perfectly into the sleeve case that came with the G1. The wife was jealous so I found a place selling through Amazon that has them for about $5. I ordered 2 since mine is pretty worn.
Just some added protection, maybe overkill. It is all plastic I figure this can only help. I'm not a big fan of most of the over the phone cases.
got the amazon link?
cheers
Sure, I didn't know if we could link outside of this site.
http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-HTC-...EQJ2/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1293042901&sr=8-7
If the link gets removed just search for: HTC G1 case
I'm considering getting this, but before I order, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to please post a few pics of the device inside of the G1 pouch.
Thanks in advance!
Weird, I thought the G1 sleeve was specifically designed and engineered, by the great folks at HTC, to only work with the G1?
The G1 one is to big, I tried it. But if u hold it in ur hand, the phone can slide out.. I use my nexus one pouch. Its a tight squeeze, but is just perfect, for now.

My G1 can slide out of the G1 pouch as well. The G1 is definitely thicker, but their overall length is pretty close. I'm sure there is some risk of it coming out easier than the G1.
It works for me, but YMMV.
Im temporarily using the g1 pouch on my nexus s and it works great.
the Nexus One pouch works pretty well also. I am using that temporarily until i get my phone skin next week.

My links are broken because xda says as a "new user" I am not permitted to post outside links in my messages. That apparently includes images.
We got the new G1 cases yesterday and they are an even tighter fit because they have not been stretched out by a bulky G1.
The way I look at it, they were $5 each shipped. That's it...$5. Most of you just spent $530 on a phone but are worried about spending $5 on a sleeve.
It's not the end all be all, but it does the job well and like I think I mentioned before, I hate those protective cases attached to the unit.
I paid 580 bucks, so I'm sure I can afford the right sleeve n skin for my new phone. Not from my 3 year old phone...

I gave my N-1 to my wife and she has a case so I took the pouch. Great for just sliding in my pocket.

Anyone know where the Nexus One pouches can be found for a decent price?
So I just wanted to start a thread for myself and anyone else who may want to read it
Basically anyone who has an otterbox case for the evo shift or has seen/used it or whatever just leave your opinions/reviews whatever. I am thinking of buying one so just wondering
I don't have one for the Shift but I've used an Otterbox on other devices and would recommend it if you have the slightest fear of damaging your handset.
I believe the last one I used was a Commuter which completely encased the handset and seemed to be able to take a hit. The back was too smooth for me so I had a little trouble re-learning how to hold it and the thickness of the handset increased significantly but overall it felt safe. Worth the extra money.
I am using the otterbox commuter case on my shift right now. I like it a lot. The fit and finish seems like it is completely a part of the phone. Only two complaints are:
1. If I try to move an icon from one hone screen to another, the piece covering the screen makes it difficult to move it to the "edge" - not a big deal, you learn to adjust.
2. When opening the slider, I hear a click sound, sounding like the little tabs holding the upper piece on are catching as it moves. Again, kinda not picky.
All in all, I think it is a great case and makes me worry a lot less about dropping my device. I would definitely recommend it.

Awesome seems like ill want to pick it up. I recently cracked the screen on my shift and made a few scuff marks so that's what seriously turned me to getting the case.

Tip for putting on the included screen protector...patience and a clean work surface! I couldn't get it to work well at first, then I ended up dropping it on the carpet. I was ready to give up on it until my wife took it from me and got it to work. So...if you have the patience of an ADHD kid on meth like I do...lol. It was my first screen protector too so. Anyways have fun!
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
definitely worth getting. i have the commuter series otterbox and it makes my phone look and feel like a beast. only thing that annoys me sometimes is the dust/lint that gets stuck to the rubber on the case, but i just blow it off.

I haven't had a problem opening the slider at all.
I have one and love it! Top of the line case, looks good feels good and protects good! I would totally recommend it to anyone with a Shift!..
I use it on my shift, and have had them on two other phones. Like everyone else said, its a great case, and really does look like a part of the phone.

I'm now on my second otterbox after a free factory replacement, my only nit pics are the usb port cover doesn't stay closed, and it clicks everytime I open it, feels like one of the clips is catching....

Just got the Commuter series and I'm a fan so far. Makes the phone feel more substantial and gives a better grip. The only issue was with the headphone and USB port covers, which didn't stay down. I just removed them, but DON'T Rip them off, it'll tear the rubber casing. Found that out on the USB port one so I cut the headphone one off. Either way makes the rubber a little loose around the port but not hugely annoying unless you're a perfectionist(which I can be). I'll just apply a little glue and seat it on the plastic frame.

I guess that's not technically a bad thing if the fronts hard to get off.
I just hope the back isn't the same when I get mine.

Nope I can confirm that, being really careful you can take the back without any problem..
I Think that the front parts being hard to take off it's a good thing.
Had mine for 2 or 3 months now
Bought it from Amazon for like $25 when they finally came available for the shift and had to wait a month before I got it in hand.
I'm not as impressed as i would be with the protection if it was a defender case. I had the black case with fake carbon fiber and belt clip before. The otterbox commuter is better then that one, by how much I'm not sure.
I dropped my phone about a month ago. I don't know if it just hit the right place of the case, and the back case came flying off the phone, the side clips where busted off, so the back case would not stay on any more.
I decided to call up otterbox and see if it was under warr. and if they would replace it. AMAZINGLY they said YES so they shipped me a new one for free i didn't even have to pay shipping. NICE. It was quick and easy I thought that was soooo cool. Because of that i will continue to buy otterbox, and recommend them to others.
In future i hope to buy defender cases (better protection) which means no more slider phones which i think i am ready for now that touch screens are so much better. All my old phones have been sliders with full keyboards from back in the day with my old HTC t-mobile MDA, which made me find this site.
Thats my 2 cents.
hey all, im looking for a nice flip case for the Incredible S, similar to the massimo one for the iphone. i want to have card slots in it. Please help! the closest i found was this one but i dont want one that opens side ways http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AM-Walle...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item415f0c4374
