Hi,
Can you recommend on a decent looking silicone/gel skin for the HD2 ?
Thanks
Check the thread about cases, there are few silicon cases.
I am planing to buy this one: http://www.netimes.com/shop/resin-soft-jelly-case-for-htc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2455.html?cPath=80_731
I saw the cases thread, I thought that it would be more useable to make a new thread dedicated to silicone/gel skins.
The gel skin in your link is nice and cheap, but the black color is out of stock
How about the pdair luxury silicone case ?

I have that case coming, once it's here I will upload a couple of pics into the cases thread and give my impressions.
I'm looking for a good silicon case as well. Been looking on ebay, loads of cheap ones (£2-4) but are they any good. Also seen these, are they worth paying the extra for?

That flexishield was also mentioned in the case thread and there were some good reviews on that one.

I have that one! and I must say its the best thing for my phone EVER!!! its such High quality unlike the other silicone cases with massive gapes where the camera and speakers are! also it covers the edges of the camera but not the camera itself so when you put your phone down the phone is no longer resting on the camera arch! its resting on the silicone case so I like that about it

That's pretty cheap (although black one out of stock - grr). Can you still shove it in the leather cover that came with the phone - I know it's a bit of a tight squeeze anyway.
Check it out, they have 87 black cases on their ebay sale -
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390141199252
I just bought this
ebay
supposedly not as flexible as regular silicon, which is what i was looking for. some people on gave it pretty good reviews.
I have just ordered both the jelly soft case from netimes and the flexishield one. When they arrive I will post on here my opinions

The black color is back in stock. I ordered 2 units, they shipped it on the same day.
Hmmm .. I ordered the luxury silicone case from Pdair ... arrived within a week from HongKong to Singapore. It gives a nice grip and do make the device look more elegant compared to those cheap silicone cases.
Used to have one for for Omnia II, simply loves it. Thus, bought another one for my HD2
Can you post photos of the HD2 with the Pdair case ?
thanks
Yeah... I want to see it too
what about making fotos with this case? doesn't the flash reflex in this case and making the photos quality worse?
Hello,
just received the case for my HD2 from pdair, in fact this one:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000801&products_id=24581
It's not my first purchase via pdair. If anyone looks for a classy case, built of fine and soft leather and manufactured on the millimeter, simply go for this case !
This is no advertisement, I neither get paid by pdair nor am I affiliated with them in any way (unfortunately...).
Already purchased the case for the Touch HD from them.
Actually the HD2 also fits in there and this is what I did until the new case came today.
I'd been a bit concerned therefore if they wouldn't offer the same case in disguise for two different device models.
Well they didn't
I have always preferred "horizontal pouch type" cases, they are most practical to wear, that's at least my experience.
Only downside was:
If you live in Europe, like I do, its quite some distance to Hong Kong and I had to wait for the good to arrive (unfortunately air cargo space over Christmas time becomes additionally scarce).
Let's hope they will have some distribution point in the EU region some time.
As far as I could see there is no retailer in Europe offering their cases.
In case someone knows one, pls post here.

I ordered the same pouch. I am using a brando black silicon skin on my hd2 and I hope that with the elastic sides of the pouch I can put my phone with the silicon skin on in the pouch. This is simply impossible with other pouches. (I've bought already 2 pouches) I will keep you informed when I receive my pouch. I think that many others will be interested in a pouch in which they can put their phone with a silicon skin on.

Oops.
I am sure this will be problematic as I said:
The pdair case is no "generic case", as offered by several manufacturers (already was "cheated" myself by such resellers, sent back these cases of course), it really fits on the millimeter.
Yes, there is a rubberized, flexible strap on each side of the case, but as the HD2 itself is very thin, these straps are as well.
So if your rubber cover (or case) is very, very thin, the HD2 might fit in the pdair case with it.
Yes, just post your findings for others.
If it won't fit in and you can't use it or pdair won't take it back (never had to return anything to them), put it on ebay and post to others they can get a cheap good case there for the HD2 ;-)

ghl10000
I had a look on the website, and the cases look very professional. I have ordered one for my new HTC HD2, which arrives tomorrow.
Cheers!

I've just ordered it, from the UK! Its from a company on Ebay for £15 with free delivery. As ghl10000, I've had some of their products before and l'm using my HD PDair case with my HD2, but decided to take the plunge once I found this on Ebay (and used my Ebay Plus Points voucher ) Had one for my N95 as well and have never been happier. Very high quality and perfect fit.

I've received today my pouch and it fits ... tight, but it fits. I've to use some force to close the pouch but I think it will fit better after some time. This is for me the first pouch which fits my hd2 with invisible shield and silicon case. I don't think a better protection is possible. I am to test it out the next days. The pouch itself is well made of soft leather. The only concern I have are the elastic sides of the pouch, but I am not to much concerned about this because I usualy buy a new phone every year. (one is already speaking of the hd3 for the end of the year?)
edit : I've removed the invissible shield on the screen because it is to soft for this pouch - it gives an 'impression' of the innerside skin of the pouch (where the magnet is). I've reinstalled an anti-glare screenprotector which gives no problems with this pouch. The invisible shield was also too reflective in the sun.
i got my alu case from pdair a few days ago (ebay 19 Eur) and have the following problem: it looks like that the elastic band which should protect the hd2 is a little bit too thick!!!
the effect is, that when i close the case, the lid pushed on the corners and a couple of contacts are executed (most in the corners) and the hd2 begins to react - looks like an animated film, but i can´t laugh!
they will ship me a new one (package was prized out with originated for htc/leo hd2)...
regards
how good are these cases. anyone bought them? cant find reviews anywhere. they look nice but want to know the quality

Looks like this one:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/resin-soft-jelly-case-for-htc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2455.html
which I ordered and is in the mail. I'm not sure if anyone has reviewed it yet; will post when I get it.
i received mine from that company today. they sent me the wrong one. its for hd2 but different case, material & colour. fits great but i'm unhappy. it picks up dust like magnet.
hi
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350284373086&_trkparms=tab=Watching
this is hand made case
PDAIR is good Product but for me I choose Krusell rather then PDAIR.
I used PDair for my Imate 9502 and Krusell for HTC HD and now I'm looking for Krusell for my new HTC HD2
Guys -- This is my first post, I hope I'm in the right place. I was just visiting this forum to see what info might exist regarding the PDair Aluminium Metal Cases. I recently purchased one (Product Code: 1BHTH2B51) for my HTC HD2 and am extremely dissatsfied with it. I just want to add my comments in support of others who have previously also expressed dissatisfaction with this case. The problem is specifically the design of the case which permits the cover (with or without the plastic screen protector) to touch the perimeter of the telephone screen setting off various applications randomly (see attached video demonstration). The problem makes the telephone completely unusable while the cover is closed. I have emailed PDair to express my disatisfaction with the case design and their response has been evasive, to say the least. My honest advice would be to to steer well clear of the PDair Aluminium Metal Cases for the HTC HD2 until they are redesigned.

It might be helpful to anyone considering the PDair metal cases as opposed to the leather ones.
PDair Horizontal Vs Vertical
I'm swithering as to whither i should go for a vertical or horizontal PDair pouch for the HD2. I've previously had a horizontal pouch for older phones but the size of the HD2 concerns me, i'm thinking that the HD2 might sit less awkwardly if vertical. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

The best case would obviously be the Piel Frama iMagnum HTC HD2 case, its prolly also the most expensive one. Down side is the long delivery time, i am currently allready waiting for 2 weeks to receive mine.

I bought one of those cases from NETIMES.COM (http://bit.ly/6s1eNy) and it's quality. For less than £3 it's a steal! Quality fitting with great protection. Adds minimal bulk to the phone and is very durable. The scratch resistant screen of the HD2 takes care of itself and the case does the rest. Everyone who has an HD2 should buy this now. Top marks! 9/10.

The PDair luxury silicone case is great Does not pick up much dust at all due to the textured surface.... fits snugly without much play...
I wished someone would make a nice brushed aluminum and rubber hard back... a combination of those two materials would make for a beautiful backing/case for our HD2's

I bought this case here in the states, 4 day shipping. I really didn't want to spend this much for case, but wanted to protect hd2. This is best case I've ever seen, great fit, & protection, corners are real well protected. Very happy I decided to get it.
Awesome!!
I went for a rubberized one also by them instead.
never used a rubberized one before, this time i really wanna give it a try.
+1 for the Piel Frama iMagnum. I got a plain black one and it is by far the best case I have ever had, my friend (who also has the HD2) called me mad for paying so much for a case, but when he saw it, he promptly went out and ordered a custom model with his name on etc. The iMagnum range is beautifully made, perfectly designed and offers complete all round protection for the HD2, if you have don't mind paying that bit extra, I would strongly recommend it.
when i saw the contents of the t mobile hd2 box it contains official silicon case ,my question now is will this case will be released world wide or not as it is perfect

No need to wait for the released of that "official" silicon case. You can get one from eBay. I bought mine recently and I'm very satisfied. And from the looks of it based on your picture, I think the one I bought is much better than the official one. Well that's only my perception.
Get the propota Mizu shell
Hi Guys,
I bought one of the silicon shell and most of them has a one big hole in the back rather than three different holes for the camera, led flash and speaker.
When i started to use this silicon thing i noticed that the camera could easily can get damaged as it's wide open due to the big hole so i bought the propota case called MIZU. This has three small holes and very snug fit.
Personally it's alittle expensive but comapred to how much it would cost and the hassle of getting HD2 fixed in case the camera got f**** up I would spend the 19 quid on this. Last phone i had was orbit 2 and i know the pain of trying to get a camera fixed.
hers the link if anyone interested - http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4877&t_mode=des

There were cheaper ones that looked similar from China, but I wanted it in a hurry.

The US T-Mobile HD2 comes with a silicon case? I was about to order one because I plan on getting the HD2 as soon as its released in the US, but thats great if it already has one included.
Has anyone bought or knows of a Belt Pouch case for the HD7 that actually fits the HD7 and has a magnetic clasp.
I have tried two different cases from two different amazon businesses and neither was big enough, they don't bother checking, getting my money back on both but need to find one that DOES fit the HD7 fine.
Jamie
I bought this one and it fits my HD7 very well.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00466DL1O/ref=oss_product
Only issue is that it's not leather. It's some sort of leather replica material made out of rubber which gave it a strong rubber smell when I took it out of the package. The smell has disapated over the days.
Thanks for the info Kino, after searching online all day I have ordered two different style cases from http://www.pdair.com/ a lot of UK Mobile shops stock their products so decided to look at their site and they have just brought out a range of new cases and such specifically designed to fit the HD7 and only the HD7.
Good warranty and prices too as it's free worldwide shipping, just need to wait and see what turns up now.
Jamie
I'm looking for a holster myself. they have one for the iphone that alows you to have a your case on the phone and it fits in the holster.

Sorry to say. That I actually have\had that case for my HD2. And the stitching on the inside was a little poor and where the brown on the inside met the black on the outside was misaligned very noticeably. Overall, it was just poor build quality. I actually have this case http://www.cellularoutfitter.com/p-...ontal-leather-carrying-pouch-for-htc-hd7.html and it works perfect too. I actually bought it for my HD2 also. And it fits just fine on the HD7. I actually believe I paid less than 12.00 for it, but can't find or remember the site.
Try the following site, I've always bought my PDA/Smartphone accessories from them:
http://www.shop.brando.com
Ha, forgot I had started this thread, I got my 2 cases from PDair, both came in nice boxes and were very nicely finished. Designed specifically for the HD7 and they fit perfectly when they came, been using it every day for last 3months and it's great.
Hi ,
I'm looking for HD2 cases,
last week I bought this case from amazon :
Here
I was surprised, It's completely bad !
You can't connect the charger cable because it's not well designed for HD2 !
However, I found this website : Here
I think it's designed for HD2 perfectly, but to be honest I don't like the skins or the colors !
If anyone has a good experience with the cases for HD2 , I will appreciate for helping me .
try a tpu skin. tpu is a intermediate between a hard case and a gel case so to speak. it's very firm, but still flexible. i've tried to crumple mine up, stretch it, tear it, etc., and it just reforms instantly. try momax icase (i'm ordering one within the next few days), capdase xpose soft jacket, etc.
there's also the nice, fancy ones lol. the otterbox line and the capdase alumor are the first ones to come to mind. they have a soft inner sleeve (i think the alumor just has a soft lining; not a separate sleeve), and a hard outer shell. they're more expensive, so just keep that in mind.
also, keep in mind that if you are in the us, the tmo usa hd2 is slightly taller (see if you have a "t-mobile" branding underneath your earpiece. most cases are made for the euro hd2, so that's why i've done my research lol. i'm really hoping that momax i'm ordering can stretch out a bit to fit my phone better. anything else you need, just pm!
If you're not looking at leather cases, than I'd definitely recommend otterbox's products - I personally use otterbox defender, but for your needs (looking at the case you've chosen at first) commuter probably should be better. Keep in mind, there are different versions for Int. or US HD2.
just go with the soft gel cases on ebay. they fit like a glove and proximity sensor microphoneand usb port is all accessible.
Case mate is pretty good
The original HTC case is "Quietly brilliant"
Did not find a better one on the market.
I'd recommend you a leather case. They are very noble looking. Try it on eBay!
