Beyzacases have some in lots of colours, but they show a belt clip, I am going to email them to see if it is removable.

Very nice cases. I really prefer cases like these which are more like a pouch. I only need a case to protect my device when it is in a pocket, bag or backpack... In addition, invisible shield is not a bad choice to protect the device from scratches.

It look like it is sewn on...
Yup, had another look with my glasses on, and reckon you're right. Pity as they made the Cruise on as just a pouch and it was really nice. In fact, I'm using it for the Diamond at the moment as it's better than nothing, but it's too big.
will still email them and see if they intend making another.

Please report back with their answer, they look like very nice cases.
case for Diamond
I contacted Krusell and they said they would have a case available for the Diamond at the end of June. Their cases are great - I have used them on all my handhelds.

Nah....it has a belt clip sewn on. I'd want something similar to that, sans clip.
Kevin
sorry to dig up an old thread but i picked up a case from ebay but it's for the slim diamond, not the thick one like what i have.
so, how do i tell the difference between the two when it's advertised? i've been dropping the phone way too much to my liking (usually on carpet but still). would like to protect the phone somehow.
any suggestions? thanks!!

It looks awesome, it really does, but 80E...u gotta b kidding m...No way...in any world... Leo is relaxing quietly and peacefully since August on Tynt II leather official HTC case and fits awesomely....
If Peil ws cheaper, then yeah, why not...But...being handmade, does not necessarily make it soooo expensive...
80€ for a leather case OMG is it bullet proof or something?
I think this is a good place for cases for the HD2.
You're own disign with a very good quality, but it's not super cheap.
I orderd my second case here

Are the ones you found slightly rubberised at all?
I am maybe looking at a kind of silicon case, to protect the back and edges of the phone.
Something like this: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/cy/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956
But for the HD2 of course
^ I've used that Silicon Case on my HD and it is great protection from scrapes and scratches. Will be getting one for my future HD2...
case which comes enclosed with hd2 is nice... for this time, you don`t need another one until you won`t be tired of it
I tried a number of cases with my Blackstone, including the InvisibleSHILELD, which was difficult to fit but really did protect well; I removed it eventually because made the case too thick to fit in my brodit car mount. In the end the most simple case has proved the best. It is a pouch with a draw cord which does not attract lint like the original boxed case does. Bought for 4.99E at a local T-Mobile shop.

There is a case with the phone. I think he would know, as he owns one.
Also, from the user manual:
Inside the Box
You will find the following inside the box:
HTC HD2 phone with battery
USB sync cable
AC adapter
Power plug
3.5mm stereo headset
microSD™ card
Pouch
Quick Start Guide

not at all. the one i got custom is by far the highest quality case ive seen and trust me, ive bought a ton of a cases lol. You cant even bend the thing and its lined with pigskin suede. Very rigid, has a leather rigid belt clip that holds really tight. i love belt clips but you can customize it with a lot of clips. even has may name inscribed on it lol. took 2 weeks to get to me but it had to be "made" i got it from ebay at this link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370271766156&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT maybe not for everyone but i love it

Well you'll probably have a lot of friends with this nice attitude.
Never make a mistake yourself or ...
I am glad there is a case included but I have seen two boxes in store with the NL version of the HD2 WITHOUT cases. Probably my mistake also!
I've searched but I couldn't seem to find a thread, I'm wondering what cases do all you guys have? I just got the hero and I want to protect it, especially the screen. So who has what and who likes what?
Here is some good reviews of the most popular cases.
http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/49725-bodyglove-vs-otterbox-vs-seido-innocase.html
I use the bodyglove case. I like the way it looks and feels, but do have 2 complaints:
1. When typing in portrait mode, it is hard for my to hit the keys at the edges of the screen (so i normally type in landscape mode, lol!)
2. If you DO happen to drop your phone, sometimes this case pops open. That being said, I've not had my phone damaged when this has happened, but you still should be aware.
I plan on trying the otterbox myself, just to see if it is better, but for the most part I am completely happy with the bodyglove.
I have thew rubber case they sell in the sprint store. i cut the edge's of on the screen part due to not being able to hit the edge of the screen like tejasrichard mentioned with his case
anybody try one of those TPU (thermo plastic) cases they are like silicone ones but i guess way more sturdy and repel dust im interested only one place has em for our heros so im assuming they are pretty new to the market
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030C4IXK/ref=oss_product
A little pricey for a case but I love it. Great fit and function. Fits perfectly, no complaints.

A buddy of mine has one for his blackberry. I dont think he liked it.
I have the body glove case, and absolutely love it. i switched from the HTC silicon rubber case to it, and have not looked back. love the integrated belt clip. gives full body protection to the Hero, except it does not protect the screen from scratches... but you should have no worries there since it is glass. hth

Has anyone compared the otterbox impact and commuter series? Is the commuter series suppose to be more rugged? I can get the commuter series from newegg for the same price as the impact normally is. Reading their descriptions on the otterbox website aren't very helpful in differentiating the series. The commuter is a hard shell where the impact is a soft one right?
Seidio Innocase II combo. Absolutely love it. Adds almost no bulk to the phone at all.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hl3csr3hhrs-bk.htm
It comes in other colors too.
Otterbox
It's a little bulky, yeah, but it has a good feel to it. Also, Hero took a trip into the hot tub again (survived once with no case) with the Otterbox on and there was almost no water inside the battery area when I pulled it out. Phone still works!
i dont know if to get the outterbox one or the Seidio Innocase II combo
i have the body glove already but its too fat

I'm using a swiveling mount from Proclip.
The pricing is absurd, $45 just for the swivel part, you need to have a base mount to attach it to. I already had a custom base in my Honda S2000 I bought for my Garmin ($15) with the standard mounting holes. The Garmin is going to Ebay with these great new 2.1 ROMs and built in NAV.
The Proclip is well built, very functional and sturdy as hell. It works great vertically and horizontally. It DOES NOT work with a case on your Hero. I am using a no-name hard plastic clear case ($5 from the interwebs) that I snap on and off each time I get in my car.
The whole setup works so well that I am using Home++ so that I can utilize horizontal home screens while driving... Can't wait for Darch's stock build and I will switch to this.
Droid Live is my new car radio, tethered to a Sony deck with A2DP bluetooth.
Waterproof and Fully Functional Case!!!
I will be getting a new case in a couple of weeks that has yet to hit the market. It is 100% waterproof and very functional for those of you that are boaters, beach goers and pool sitters. See pic below. I will have them on eBay for $39.95 but for all of you here on XDA, it will be $30.00 + $3.00 shipping. I can invoice you via paypal or we can do the cashier check and mail thing. My eBay user name is "goulpher36" if you would like to check my feedback. You can reserve one if you send me an email and mention "XDA".
Opppsie! I read the rules after my post. Sorry...
I know there are several threads about cases for the HD2 here, but a few are about leather cases (which I do not want to use)...there some about the silicone/ gel cases which I would like to use, and theres the invisible skin type which I would like to know more about. I do not know if the Invisible Skin/Armor ..w/e you want to call it -they seem the same to me... are tough enough to truly protect the phone from a fall ?
I also would like to know if there are any silicone/gel cases which are thinner than usual but still provide adequate protection...
One good example I can think of is this one case I saw on an iphone -it was a clear hard case, but it was very thin which made me really like it...

Better go cheapo-if i'd get a nice looking case, i wouldn't want THAT to get scrathed up either!
I ordered the capdase protector, seems to be really nice. the invisible shield and stuff like that offer no drop protection i hope mine will offer some.
Hmm... the barely there case not available yet for Tmo US HD2
I bought my "barely there" case direct from HK. Problem is, if you have multiple batteries like I do, you tend to scratch your phone when removing/replacing the case to get to the battery cover.
This led me to use the clear/invisible armor/shield, but I've had to remove the section that covers the antenna because it seems to cause rapid battery drain - see my post at thread 652013.

and i find it's great.
is it much different than the one shipped with the hd2?
Tried quite a few cases but my fav so far is this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390149733765&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Also known as flexishield case. It's like a soft plastic / gel case so glides in and out of your pockets easily and doesn't stick/attract lint like some silicone cases. It offers good protection but only adds about 1mm thickness to your phone.
I recommend black/gray but the choice is yours.
I actually ordered one like that...
but I find it hard to believe that it only adds 1mm thickness, 1mm is like a screen protector thickness almost....idk maybe I am wrong?
Okay maybe two then
But certainly doesn't add much at all. A screen protector is micron thin. I don't think it adds 1mm...
There are also variations in the gel type cases. Some are actually thicker. My friend bought a similar one but was quite a bit thicker. It had like a checked pattern on the back.

You guys may want to check the HTC HD2 Armor Case by BoxWave - The Metal Case sells @ Amazon.com for $27.95 (US DLS) I just bought 2 one for my wife & me. My thing is; you have a pretty nice and expensive phone, you better protect it good!!!

Please post which cases are confirmed to fit the US T-Mobile version of the HD2.
I'm currently using the black gel case that came with it, but it makes me worry, as it comes off easily and does not cover the camera at all! I fitted 2 tiny pieces of duct tape around the camera to protect it - there has to be a better solution

The OEM European leather slip case fits the US Tmo version perfectly. Very thin and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all. I really like it. Though I'm still hoping Sena comes out with an ultraslim slip for it because I like the feel of real leather.

Does your TMO HD2 fit in the case with the provided gel case installed as well? I'm thinking "no" but I would like to know for sure. Thanks!
The rubber slip on that comes with it sucks. It's loose and it collects lint like a mother... There is really nothing good onlinethat I can tell. However, T Mobile sells a few slip ons at their store.
The black one they sell is soft rubber and just as sucky as the one that came with it, but the purple case they sell that is in a clear box is rigid and strong, fits tight and awesome... The downfall is that it's purple... but it's only 14.99 so I bought it. It picks up no lint and is very rigid and fits super tight. Much like your pal's Iphone case. it will work for now, until Seidio or some other good case company puts out something else. This case doesn't protect the camera at all but it's great it every other way... (Besides being Purple) check out the pics. I put that decal on there to make it a little less feminine maybe? It won't let me post the pictures so hopefully the links work and you can cut and paste. Sorry. Says I'm a new user... put the http stuff in front of it if you want to see it.

Nice links, will be buying a leather case w/ the red stiching soon.
I found a good case at the T-Mobile store, it just showed up. Body Glove, clear plastic, pretty attractive, with some rubber for grip + kickstand. Check your local T-Mobile store, I'm happy with it. It costs $20

I thought magnet cases are not good for the phones with accelerator . G-sensor, GPS, etc???
I saw that one at fommy.com... My issue is that they don't show the back of the case and I want to make sure that if I buy another case, that it protects the camera lens... I'm holding out for Boxwave's honeycomb case.
Having exactly the same case on my previous phone (Nokia E71) I have found the same style just for US T-Mobile HD2 - it's not really the full case BUT it will do great job with Invisible Shield over the screen

So for the hell of it I took the case off. WOW !!! Very nice phone was hiding under all that plastics, the naked Nexus-S feels very solid and well put together. It was the case that made it feel ****ty.
I still have her in the case while working, will just take it off at night when at home. But would like an Otterbox "Impact" series, slim and tight rubber case. It's these 2 pc connected type cases that sound and feel loose and crappy.
I think gel cases are better for such phones.

Yeap I got it.
+1 for gel or silicone case. i have a black silicone zenus case on my vibrant and absolutely love it (and i've dropped my vibrant twice since owning it). I made the mistake of buying different cases (leather, rubberized crystal, etc) and never end up taking the zenus one off. and anything outside of a gel skin adds unflattering weight and thickness to these very sleek, thin phones. i emailed a zenus seller today to see if they were aware of any nexus s cases on the horizon.
I sent an email to Case-Mate to see if they'll be making a case for the NS. Hopefully I get a response soon.
Im extremely picky with cases
highly recommend hybrid tpu case is great but not out for ns yet
adds little bulk

Well, I hope Best Buy gets some more cases since I just found out that I have a $20 rewards certificate issued the day before the Nexus S came out.

This is a great case. I have one of the hybrids, a plain TPU, and the TMo rubber case. I switch between them, but the hybrid is the best all-arounder.

I hope to hell someone makes a soft touch battery door for the NS. That would solve half the problem right there.
I just bought an invisiblesheild. Those things have never failed me

I second that
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
I hate cases. To me, putting a case on a phone like this is like bringing home a beautiful, sexy woman and then putting a fat girl suit on her.
I just returned mine as well. That case was not worth anything near 35 dollars. I'm using my hacked up nexus one sleeve now and it works great.

I prefer a naked phone and not being a dumb ass and dropping it.

I prefer it too, but theres those times where you get bumped on the streets walking while checking your phone (email, text, web) and it causes you to drop your phone.
I also see a lot of people referring to a "platinum case" from best buy... but im looking it over and unsure which one they are talking about bc both use the word platinum.
I like this one alot if only it wasnt purple.

If you carefully apply 4-5 thin coats of PlastiDip you can very easily make your own soft touch battery cover. I'll be posting photos later in another thread.
