I ordered a couple of silicon cases but they are yet to arrive... I'll let you know.
Ok, got the Silicon Cases... First thing, it is a pretty thick silicon case (I have seen much thiner ones for other phones) and makes the phone quite a bit bigger when fitted. I think the slide requires the sides to be pretty thick...
that said, my old Wizard started to look pretty rough after a couple of years. I think I will stick with the case.
any chance of a few decent pics of it fitted to the dual

It seems that unfortunately there's no other manufacturer for this kind of product for Dual...
I don't think the aluminium one could be better..

And the leather one is horrible..
The wife has ditched the Silicon case (and my Touch Dual is still awaiting replacement - due to slider gap problem) but I might try and put it back on and get some photos.
Anyone tried one of these for either this or another device??

Wow...this is one of the best i've seen...
Maybe a little bit expensive...and not so esay to install...
Any other manufacturer of this kind of product?
I haven't seen it on ebay for Touch dual...
I have found a couple. Some only do iPod's...
This one does HTC Touch but no Dual yet (I have emailed them to ask if and when it would be avaialble).
http://www.bodyguardz.com
I thought someone out there may have used one of these on an ipod or other PDA and might offer an opinion before I purchased?
Actually... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333707&highlight=invisibleshield
Thank you very much CAM77 for providing these informations...
I'm actually waiting for the silicon case but actually don't think I'll get the invisible shield...I read quicky a few comments and was a little bit disappointed hearing that sometimes small parts are missing and corners are not covered...
has anyone seen anything like these availablke in the UK?
http://event.ruten.com.tw/htc20071108/
i have the invisible shield on my ipod and it is fantastic. does not degrade the touch wheel at all and protects the entire device. i will likely get it for my touch dual as well. it's worth every cent.
the touch doesnt have a glossy finish.. its more of a rubbery feel. will it not ruin this?

my guess is that it'll probably take away from the rubbery feel a bit. but it will protect the device really well. if you want to retain the rubbery feel, you can just get the screen protector for it.
Case makes the phone bigger thats for sure but i like it because helps me understand when the touch screen ends (helpfull for scrolling).

I remember to have read somewhere that it is a limited edition of a Touch Elf...don't think it is available for the dual...
EDIT: http://www.intomobile.com/2007/11/09/htc-touch-special-editions.html
OK then,
I was going to get a new housing for my sad looking Ameo. They come in the standard Ameo silver or a rather smart HTC black. I already have a silver case, but here is the question.
Do the black housings, wear, scratch, or paint rub away easy? I don't want to get one and find it looks crap after six months. They ain't cheap! before anyone else says it, I know it depends how you treat it. I'm on about normal wear and tear use. How does yours look now? are there any signs of the metal underneath showing?

Black Case On The "advantage"...
Hey Jay,
I have a HTC Advantage x7501, with the black case of course, and have been using it with "typical" every-day use now for about 6 months. I have never even seen one of the silver cased "Ameo" versions of the device in person, so my review is a bit "one-sided," if you will... Also, I have a friend with whom I work with that also owns the same model as I. With saying all that, and without having experienced the silver model, I would bet the silver model would hold up a bit better on the finish due to the fact that if the silver gets scratched, the metal beneath it looks much closer to the silver finish than the black. I have a couple small blemishes on mine, and I am very particular with my mobile devices, but after using day-by-day at work and home, it has managed to get marked up just a bit. The biggest problem is, if you get a scratch on it, the metal below sticks out "like a sore thumb!"
I definitely believe that the black finish is a bit more professional looking, where sometimes the silver finishes can make a device look cheap or make it stand out.
Anyways, to give you my honest account on TWO Advantage x7501 devices (black finish) after 6 or so months of daily use, it is overall good, and neither one shows any major signs of wearing finish. Also, we both use a case that the device "slides" tightly in and out of each time you use it (without the keyboard attatched), and the device really hasn't shown any real signs of wear on the sides where it rubs the case. However, if you do happen to mark it up in any way, you will definitely notice it. Again, I am very picky, so keep that in mind, but so you have a better idea of what I am saying, I attatched a couple of pics so you can see what it looks like when or if you do scratch or mark it.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
-Ryan
Also Note: Only one of the devices I wrote about is pictured, but are very similar in condition, and were both purchased slightly used.
X7501 Cosmetics...
I have had my X7501 for almost 10 months now and it only has one very tiny mark on the top right corner (you have to look hard to even see it).
Since I'm also very particular about my devices (I always keep them looking new) I just used a Sharpie (permanent marking pen) to "erase" the offending mark. This works great and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to touch-up black anodized aluminum like the Athena housing.
Wow! thanks for the reply Guys, Ryan that was one hell of a reply. Must have took you a while to do that and I appreciate it. toyfreak, the idea with the marker pen is a great one. I think on just that idea alone I will get black. Its harder to touch up silver! It looks better too.
Regards
Jay
Indeed is surprisingly hard coating, I carry mine in my pockets and can't say I'm careful with it, rather the opposite, I have it since it came out and there is only a little wear in one of the corners, hardly noticeable, where the scratches are more visible, is on the silver border next to the screen, not that it look bad or anything.
Black housing - Where?
I would like to know where you can buy a black housing for your Ameo, mine needs a new one as well!
And what about your keyboard, can you get a black one too?

Silver / AMEO
Hi guys,
Proud owner of a wonderful brick since 6 months in grey color I should say that if I new I would have choosen a different color.
The grey AMEO housing is far from being "time resistant"...
Since few weeks the "video camera" around the front cam as disappeared and the "Alert" will soon do the same.
I allways take good care of my stuf and I'am bit disapointed for a 1.000 bucks machine to see it !

Hi,
Just a quick update on the new housing. It's arrived, and I put it on. It looks great, so glad I got black. Thanks to those who took the trouble to answer this post so well.
If anyone needs a new housing for their device then let me know and I will let you know where to get them from. He claims to have a few left!

The X7501 does not have the internal or 2nd camera, the X7500 does. So I would have a big hole in my unit if I used that one. I don't know if the inside layout is any different but that's the only visible thing on the external end.
I need a new housing too.
Anychance you could PM me a link or contact for this.
Thanks in advance.

LMAO dude have you been drinking? The 7501 has 1 camera and the 7500 and the 7510 has 2. I own the 7501 which is also cheaper than the 7500. I suggest you google them and you'll see the difference.
tootallk is correct. 7501 has 1.

hi
you are talking about a extra case to protect the athena right?, the thread is about replacing the cover / housing of the athena itself, a step that becomes nesesary when you not use case like your nutshell .
anyhow (and to really come back to subject ) i have to replace my housing too and wonder, why nobody can simply post the web/email adress of a reseller here?. i searched alot now an only find companies in asia and prices 'far away from reality', so if someone know a good reseler please post here.
thanks mad

P.S if im in trouble "Madbird" made me do it
I recently ordered a Matte TPU case from a seller on ebay in Hong Kong. I like giving my phone some color on occasion but nothing overbearing or ugly. I dont like the clearish TPU cases with patterns because unless you get it in black or white (clear), the color looks awful to me against the black phone. So i decided to give the matte ones a go and i love it. The only down side is that i wish the buttons werent covered at all, it makes them a bit more sensitive but at least they arent hard to press and i suppose i could just cut it out. For now it doesnt really bother me.
I doubt these cases will provide much shock protection from a bad drop but i think they look good and are extremely slim. I went from using the Amzer to this and my phone feels naked now lol. Ill switch back and forth for when i feel like i need better protection. It feels great in my hand and slides easily in and out of my pocket. The plus about this case is that it doesnt have that hideous random red tramp stamp strip on the back like majority of the matte TPU cases. Im extremely anal about how my phone looks so that was a h*ll no. Also, youll see in the pic below that the front edges are a bit shiny, they arent matte like the back and i guess it adds something to the design. The material covering the buttons is the same thats around the edges. So if you wanted to attempt at cutting and freeing them from confinement, you already have an outline.
The seller i purchased from is out for the Chinese New Year but i think it says they will resume sales on the 11th or 12th. I purchased on the 23rd of January and got it on the 7th so thats pretty average wait time coming from HK.
I also tried out the "S" case that has a thread here in the forum, and way too snug for my liking and i didnt like the gloss next to the matte, so if anyone wants it i can mail it to you or its going in the trash. (i got it in black.)
Here are two pics, sorry i dont have one of it on the actual device but the best camera i own is....my Nexus lol. The itouch fails miserably at a decent photo. And yes remember it is flexible...

Pic 2
Hope thats somewhat helpful!

Then dont buy one. It was a couple bucks maybe? Its not like there are tons of cases out there that are worth the money so a little on the cheap side doesnt bother me. I wanted plain, slim, and color and thats what this is. I think its hard to avoid a "cheap" look when you spend 4 bucks on a TPU case. But anyway, thats what the review is for...to help you decide if you want one or not.

Haha I've been told a few times that I should but I don't think I have time to learn with school going on. I see like....3 girls on this forum so its kind of intimidating lol. The most I've even done for myself is make docks. I'm working on an icon set though that's been taking forever. Add me to gtalk...same name.
i actually got this case in white. It's actually a very good case for $1 and change. It is very slim. I love it. The buttons are easier to push then the ones on the amzer case.
Definitely worth the $1!!!

too bad not so many manufacturer produce case for HD2
on ebay there some seller that sell the HD2 case, but you don't have many option. just standard gel case or something like that
I bought two of these in Ebay and I didn't regret it, I recommend it!
Hey guys.. Ive read reviews on cases and all seem pretty ok for city activity... however after a few years of running the obex on my s4 I decided to take it off and fix some issues with the case... would you believe the one day that I have it off I dump it on a teeny weeny rock and shatter my screen... well back to my question... I sit in freezing snow, climb 20 ft into trees and throw my phone when needed... If I were to buy this phone tomorrow what would be the best case set up for screen and corners.. I need bullet proof. I haven't pulled the trigger on the phone yet because of the edge and the way it seems to be unprotected by most cases... Thanks in advance I really want to buy this but Im afraid ill have to go with the g7 instead of the edge..
Ghostek 2.0 looks to be bulletproof, otterbox defender is prob second in line
