Skin Case for Vogue..Let me know when..

you find one that fits perfectly...

The PDAir leather case works well.

Link? And some pics of it in use would be sweet (to see fitment). All I see on ebay is PDair cases for ipods but if it's anything like those they look pretty nice

Has anyone tried this case:

Looks to be made specifically for the Sprint Touch.

It's hard to tell from those small pics but based on the position of the cameras mirror it's for the GSM model

Has anyone tried the InvisibleShield full phone cover?
http://www.invisibleshield.com/smartphone/htc/touch-cdma.php

Someone had that in the Elf forum along with photos. I've ordered it but I'm thinking of just using it on the screen and shiny parts at first.

The silicon cover Verizon has fits perfect, only thing I didn't like was there is no clip included.

Invisible Sheild
I ordered invisible shield. Not bad, I like the back piece and the screen piece. There are other small pieces that I found annoying. I'd rather it to have been in 2 big pieces like the ipod touch.

does the screen piece have that silicone type feel to it?

The dont offer full phone cover for our phone.
Only the screen protection.
Im guessing because our phone is rubber and that plastic wouldnt play nice.
I bought Invisible shield for the vogue and i ended up taking it off because of the friction it caused when i would swipe.

Case

This is the case I would want...just cautious about ordering something from Hong-Kong....
http://cgi.ebay.com/GIFT-X-3-Sprint...tcZphotoQQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I wouldn't be worried about ordering from overseas, as long as you use your Amex you're covered, be more worried about returns and how those are handled.

imo, stick with the case the mogul comes with ;] .. works great for me.

I wish my mogul came with anything, i got the phone and 2 batteries and charger, but i also did get it for 250$ bran new cheers..

sell ya my original mogul case for $15 shipped to the us [PM me for paypal info]
I dont use the case it came with, I just put the phone in my pocket

someone smack OP, world ugliest case. the clear plastic that covers the keyboard will make it hard to text and it looks that it'll mess up the phone's sliding thingy.

Does anyone know if a slim rubber case will still fit inside the oem holster?
I'm thinking something like this

I have that same basic case except the front of mine instead of being rubber is hard clear plastic. I love the case and it does fit inside the holser. However due to the rubber it makes it somewhat difficult to slide in and out of he holster quickly and easily and takes a little getting used to.

Can anyone remember how soon after the Sprint Mogul became available that 3rd party fitted cases came out?
I'm with VZW and all the fitted cases out there are customized for the Mogul (cutouts in the shape of the Mogul buttons). I'd like one for the XV6800 and would like to know when to expect those to come on the market.

I have been waiting too... I emailed Seidio and asked them and they said the cutouts are designed for the verizon model. But if you look at the pic ( http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=926 ) of it it looks like the curved cutout to me....

Yes, I see what you mean. The bottom buttons looks like it can pass for the XV6800. The top buttons definitely exposes more than the buttons. Many of the Mogul cases that I've seen on ebay and such looks like the case actually covers part of the top buttons albeit just the corners. But I know that will bug me. So, I'm really holding out on VZW specifically designed cases.

Well I must say, I ordered the hybred case from sedeio (rubberized bottom half and clear top half) and have to admit I am PLEASED! Fit is perfect, easy to install, doesn't pop off, doesn't squeak (like the cheapo one I bought on ebay). The holes for the keys are sort of hybred. Bottom dpad holes are verizon and the top holes holes (txtmsg/IE) are curved like mogul, but with the clear top half it is hardly noticable and looks like it was designed that way...
I would recommend...

Aluminum Metal Case

I received yesterday my protection for Leo. I share with you the results of this:

For shipping this protection:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000801&products_id=26364

Thanks for sharing; however you would have been better off posting in the Cases thread where we all go to see what's happening in the world of cases.

Agree with above poster, can a mod fix this?
Nice case! ive also ordered 1 last week at PDAir, the 1 without a screen, so easy acces, but fewer protection. I am hoping its more solid so i can put it in my back pocket without getting a red face everytime i realize i accidently put it there...
When did you order it and did it took long (i am eager to get mine, but now hope is gone till monday or tuesday...)

I disagree.
The "Cases" thread is too long and too complicated for discussing any one specific case.
Anyway I ordered mine just a moment ago and would very much like to hear how quick was the shipment, how snug is the fit and how reassuring the neoprene feels
It's a shame they opted for a plastic screen protector instead of either a window-less aluminum door or a transparent cover that lets you work with the touchscreen.

mohasea,
How thick is the plastic cover over the screen?
Does the plastic cover flex?
Do you think the plastic cover would prevent the screen being cracked if dropped screen down on ummm concrete?

I totally agree, wish they had a solid aluminum front door instead of the window cut-out covered in plastic or the other option they have of no plastic window cut-out. I would order one now,even not having my Leo yet, just because the front door was solid aluminum.
I am going to contact PDair and see if they would leave a few front doors out of the cnc cutter and have a full cover aluminum
Would you like one too, Duperman ?
Thank you,
Monnie

I have ordered an open screen case despite it may not fully protect the screen. HD2 has a glass screen and it is hard enough against scratch as what has been in iphone.

Would you like one too, Duperman?

Absolutely

Mine, the one without screen plastic, is supposed to arrive between now and Jan 27th next year...(sometime)
take care

Anyone got theirs yet?
Would love to see some detailed photos and a review of the case pros/cons
Thank you,
Monnie

I'm debating whether to go with their leather flip case or this aluminum case...

I got this case and immediatly wished there was no plastic screen on the front door. So, I held it over some boiling water for about 2 mins and and then used my thumb nail (not kidding it was easy) to pry the plastic from the metal. The whole lot peeled off easily, i replaced the foam into the case and BAM perfect case. (be careful not to rip the foam, but if you do it will still stick back. also the foam stretched out a bit but pushed back into shape no problem. TIP: Work from the front side of the case, wedge your nail into the seem and loosen it all the way around. If it starts to get tough again, hold it over steam for a while longer.
Also.. when the plastic was still inplace and the case door was closed, there would be random screen presses and that was not cool, however now that the plastic is out, i can leave the door closed, press when I want too, AND there is no random case presses
I know this sounds like a poor fix, but it worked awesome and it looks like it was SUPPOSED to come this way.
Now all i need is for my zag shield (front only) to show up and im perfectly protected (minus water damage dammit)
awesome case guys im not kidding. you dont have to put the nubbin on in the back either so it doesnt add much bulk to teh phone. good luck yo.

Got mine too and I use the black open faced aluminum for local use and insert the whole unit;
aluminum case and all into the Maxpedition "Rat" wallet for carrying on belts etc.... http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/...&idcategory=11
Like it alot....
FWIW

well, do not kill me if I say so .. but it is ugly as hell.
I do not say that it does not protect the phone, or the the finishing it's not ok .. but from a slim phone with a huge screen, it looks like a bullet proof brick with a screen.
The whole idea of an elegant smartphone it's gone.
Small question: what do you hate about the original leather case?
It is elegant, slim easy to use and protect the phone in normal use conditions or small accidents.

Capdase Alumor Metal Case
Bought this silicon w/ aluminium backcover case by CAPDASE in Hong Kong, adding a more "solid" feel over the pure silicon case. It comes with a CAPDASE screen protector as well.
http://www.mobimega.com/capdase-alumor-metal-case-htc-hd2.html
Beware that the silicon case may not glue well to the aluminum backcover (I think it's the factory problem) which may leave a small gap between them when you put the phone in. I have to apply some glue to fix that myself. Apart from the case is nice and not too costly.

Hi,
I am seriously thinking about ordering one for my Desire (A8181).
But what I'm not able to find, is how it works. I mean, you seem to describe the case as a silicone skin, with a metal plate sticked to it.
I thought it was more like a silicone skin with another semi-case to "clip" over the silicon....
Can you confirm if I am right or wrong?
And can you post multiple angles pictures?
Thank you, it would be much appreciated!

thanks but
so uglly

Ohh Great!

Thanks for the pictures! To me is one of the best cases i've ever seen.

Review: Ebay Leather Case UPDATED

Attached Pics:

Attached Pics:
a. the flat bottom screen protector.
b. the view of the camera from the back. As can be seen it is very open and does not affect exposure.
c. the packaging (plastic)

Review:
Price: £1.89 + £ree p&p
(not the cheapest case i've ever bought: £0.10 for Crystal N95 Case + Screen Protector, but hey what can you do )
The case took about 10 days to be delivered.
The packaging was alright not a cardboard box but the contents were not affected in anyway and for free delivery what can you expect
I was happy that they sent 2 screen protectors, as can be seen in the pics they are not the same. One of which protects some protection to the bottom of the phone beside the keys. One of which does not. I have not yet attached the screen protectors as I do not see as being currently necessary and I'm rubbish at applying screen protectors ( Get bubbles everywhere )
The case itself has a nice orange stitching and a soft velvety interior finish. The velvet itself can be seen to be a dust magnet. I have tested out the compass and the magnetic clasp does not affect it.
Update 24/06/10:
As highlighted by JonPickles below the plastic case securing the phone to the case is tight. I am slightly worried whether repeated removal and installation of the phone will cause damage to the paint of the casing. Also if the phone is not taken out properly the tight fitting can cause the battery cover to come of. As of now I have not found a good way to remove the phone. I am wondering it repeated removal will losen the fitting making it easier to remove. If anyone else has this case or any other tight fitting cases please share any tips on how best to remove it.

i bought one too and didnt like how the phone was squeezed into the plastic holder and my battery cover came off when i took it out of holder plus didnt like the securing tab in my ear when makin/answerin a call so bought another that was completely leather and the tab was not in the way for £3.50 from hong kong which came in ten days also
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190399620812&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I didn't like the leather insert into which the phone goes. But everyone has their own tastes.

Great case for that price, it's really cheap and do the job perfectly, thanks for this share

Just got it
It barely fits the phone with INVISIBLE FULL BODY ZAGG SHILED ! My zagg shield got ripped of my phone and destroyed zagg shield. + it did not fit. My batteri cover came of and its really hard to take the phone out , dont like it at all

Thanks for the info m4sta2k, I'll stay clear of this one then.

The same story

The same story - slightly different characters:
Beware of snap-on hard cases! I mean you have to be very careful and do not go for the cheapest ones. My sad experience with one of them, very similar to this one brought me to this rather obvious conclusion. What happened is that in 3 weeks gray paint/covering of my HD2 was damaged wherever it touched the sturdily snapping hard case - on the corners battery cover (where the gray plastic body of HD2 slightly is raised comparing to lower battery cover) - I will post photos of it.
Then I ordered a leather pull-case, and i am happy with it. Here is my positive review for it

Any case available that doesn't inhibit 'screen edge' touching?

Like when you move an icon from one home screen to another, you slide it to the edge and wait. I've tried a few different cases and they all have such a high edge on them taht they inhibit my thumb/finger's ability to go all the way to the edge of the screen - making it virtually impossible to move an icon.
The bigger issue is that it affects my typing when trying to quickly swype through the "P" or "Q", etc.
So...anyone have a case with a very low profile..allowing your finger to glide over that are similar to a case-less phone? I rarely, if ever, see that being discussed when cases are talked about.

I too am interested in what people have to say about this. I have a 2-piece hard case i don't use because it prevents me from using Swype effectively, so i just resorted to the Zagg full-body screen and avoid putting things in my pocket alongside my phone lol

I just use the verizon high gloss black case. it's a great fit. I actually had the body glove before but moved down to this one... don't drop my phone so I don't feel a need for a huge case ya know? I can now use swype and drag effectively as well.

Is the verizon case a two piece snap on or a flexible pull on?

Try the 'ElCheapo' in my sig.. swype works GREAT with it.

The Verizon case is a one piece flexible pull on.
I does have the raised lip you are talking about but it is not as pronounced as some of the aftermarket cases I've seen.
Here is one on eBay (this is the one I bought).
Verizon HTC Incredible Black Silicone Gloss Cover OEM
Just a side note...
When moving items from one screen to the other, I find it hard even without a case. A solution that works for me is to press the item you want to move and then use the virtual trackball to move from one screen to the other.

I have never had any troubles with swype while using this case. It covers no section of the screen and grips onto the small outer edge of the phone. Works like a charm!

I also hate hitting my case when swyping the screen. I find that the argile design case from amzer.com works best for me and I've been using it for a month.

admittedly, I don't have my DInc just yet but I ordered/received the Seidio Innocase Actice II for HTC Incredible... It came with a cardboard insert that mimics the phone actually being inside of it... The edges on this case seem to be really low profile and with this cardboard insert my finger can easily glide off edges.
You can get find an in-motion view of the same case for Evo on Youtube—I can't link as I am a n00b
My DInc is coming tomorrow so I will update with results but with the silicone edges and a slight inner bevel to this I think it may be what you're looking for... case features an outer exoskeleton that protects back and corners for more protection than just the silicone material could offer.

Thanks a bunch for this. Handhelditems.com is amazing!! I just ordered two "ElCheapo" skins and a 3-pack of screen protectors with express shipping (3-5 days) shipping for $15. I've seen a good review of the screen protectors and I think I'll wind up being very pleased for the money.
I used the 30% off coupon code found at http://www.techbargains.com/vendor_detail.cfm/596/Hand-Held-Items-coupon-code

Seidio Active case is pretty much non-intrusive...with good access to the screen.

UPDATE...
Swype beta appears to be closed but I've had my phone and Seidio Innocase Active for a few weeks now and I think this case will work just fine with Swype and the edge issue you mentioned.

Silicone case from best buy. Just for a red one today.

the Barely There case by Case-Mate is the best i've seen thus far. I absolutely love mine. Though the face of the screen isn't protected very well, the corners and back are. Its material feels the same as the battery cover on the back of the device. It looks nice and is very comfortable.

Well, I just got my cases and screen protectors yesterday. The cases are fantastic for the price. The screen protectors on the other hand were all cut to big and left bubbles after applying them, so I'm having them send me new ones. At least it was only $4 for all three.

I picked up the Spect case from my local VZW yesterday. I had the faded black/red from vzw and I hated the sides on it.. I wanted a one piece, not a 2 piece..
well this one is friggin awesome. The sales folks working there had never heard/seen the case before and In the 30 minutes I was in the store, 4 employees bought it after playing with it on my phone and 2 additional customers bought it as well. its a one piece design and the interior is cloth so it wont scratch up the screen. I dont have an issue with Swype as it doesn't cover the front at all.
Well worth checking out...

Innocase ii here, no issues at all.

Your welcome! What colors did you get? I got the black first then ordered the Burgundy later on.. I was kinda hoping it would be a bit darker though.
Did they give you any kinda application fluid for the screen protectors?
