Best case for (roughly) £15 on expansys?

www.expansys.com
I have 2 free £15 vouchers, which would be the best option?
Thanks

Don't know what cases you are on about but the advice I would give you this:
If you intend to use the phone in the case all the time then the design that you should go for is one that leaves the whole face of the HD2 open to you otherwise you will have problems operating the phone.
Alternatively go for a case where you can take the phone out to use; however make sure the case completely holds the phone in securely when its in there.
SuperEtrader were selling a belt pouch where you could not even close the flap when the phone was in it. They claimed it was HD2 compatible.
Finally, having bought 5 cases now, you get what you pay for......

i have just bought one of these for work. very good quality for the money. my only complaint is that the hard-buttons can sometimes get pressed and cause the fone to wake, depending on where you have it on you and what you are doing.
all-in-all, a good pouch.

try this for a Pouch instead of a case? thinking of getting it. with the hd2 having similar dimensions to the iphone try some of the cases for that as their is millions of them
HD2 = 121 x 67 x 11 mm
Iphone 3G = 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm

Im looking for something which the phone constantly stays in, which can be opened via a flap like thing, which isnt bulky.
thanks though

Old G1 sleeve case works great!

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...

[Q] Capdase Soft Jacket - Does it fit Tmobile HD2? UPDATE: Yes it does!

UPDATE
It arrived today!
The case fits nice and snug. Pictures forthcoming (may take me a week before I have time). It stretches a bit at the bottom but I believe that can be remedied with a little bit of creative sanding on the inside of the case. Honestly though, it's almost perfect without any modification.

I've tried searching and googling to no avail. Found one (questionable) post here from a while ago that states it fits but I want to make sure so....
Does the Capdase Soft Jacket 2 Xpose case fit the TMOUS HD2?
This is it btw: http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=321&pid=5277
While I'm here.... any docks that fit the HD2 with a case on? (I know of plenty that fit it bare)

Probably so,i have the silver chrome metal one from capdase. It was marked for the euro version, but it fit my tmo hd2 just fine. So I would say your good to go.

Oh, you have the alumor? (this one: http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=321&pid=5156) and it fits?
Please confirm because I will get that one then!

The dimensions of the HTC HD2 and the T-Mobile HD2 are slightly different.
Since all Capdase case are custom designed to fit the device it is intended for. The Soft Jacket 2 Xpose (HTC HD2) will not fit the T-Mobile HD2 perfectly.
Although the Leather cases should be okay.

I don't know, I just checked ebay and it specifically said:
"15 Feb 2011 - All colors are in limited stock

Since the US version is larger, I don't see how it would work. But I believe the people who say it does. Just be advised...

That is interesting. The Otterbox, for example, will most definitely NOT fit the T-Mobile HD2 in the International version. Difference in design, I suppose.

I think it just depends how much 'give' there is in the case. Otterbox isn't flexible at all, whereas as I understand it the alumor has rubber inside which can compress. Everyone please remember the tmous version is only about 2mm taller.
Anyways, I ordered the capdase softjacket. I'll see if it fits. I'm prepared to file down the inside ends in order to make it fit, I'm sure I could get 2mm out of that.
If it won't fit, i'm out $12, not a disaster.
I'll update with pics if it fits. (PS. if you're reading this 2 months from now and I haven't posted anything, PM me)

rkarsk, have you received the case yet? I'm interested to know if it will fit the t-mobile hd2.

It's only been about 3 days since my last post and I expect it to take several weeks (at least 2) to arrive.

It arrived today!

[Open Thread] Thoughts On Otterbox Case For EVO Shift 4G

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 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.

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.

Nope. It just slips and falls over.

Have had the case now for over a day and I do have a few thoughts about it. Purchased at a Verizon store last Sat(none in my area had it in stock apparently) for $48 with tax and 3 day shipping to my home. Color was the grey which I thought went really well with my gunmetal model. Upon putting it on the phone I felt that the fit was spot on. The back snapped right into place and the front flip cover rests evenly on the screen. Functionality of the case is second to none. It works as advertised ranging from being able to see time and current weather conditions to making and answering calls.
Some of the other things that will light up are any incoming text messages and you can also dismiss any alarms that you have set to go off by simply following the gestures. A big question that I had when I bought the case was whether or not that the music playback would be hindered. I'm very happy to report that audio playback was just as clear and precise as if the cover wasn't over the front of the device. Another plus is when you open the cover the phone automatically unlocks and the screen shuts off when the cover goes back on. Thus greatly eliminating use of the top mounted power button.
I felt the choice of the materials for the case were not bad. The rear material certainly doesn't feel like a cheap plastic by any means, but it's nowhere near as nice as the phone's metal finish. The most comfortable way of using the phone for me was to hold the cover with my left hand and use my right to operate the phone itself. Now, I have rather large hands so this could obviously be different if you weren't blessed with such a thing. Folding the front of the case back over the rear proved to be uncomfortable to me. Another downside is the fact that the front cover cannot double as a kickstand when positioning the phone in landscape. When done so, the phone just falls flat on its back.
Overall, I definitely like the case. It has that wow factor to it as everyone I have showed it to have been amazed by it's functionality. The only things that HTC should improve on it is to have the front flap being able to fold back and stay flush on the rear of the device. I also would had like for the front flap to stay open when you open, but the trade off is that when it springs back into position it does a good job of staying over the screen, even in a loose pocket. I noticed no addition use of the screen during the day in Gsam battery monitor. If I were to give it a score out of 10 I'd place it at an 8. Only major cons would be price and certain aspects of holding the device depending on hand size.
I'd have to tip my hat to HTC for coming up with the concept. If anyone has anymore questions about it feel free to ask.

I'm having german t-mobile as well, they told me today that the cases should arrive this week..? but don't know how true that is..
amazon started listing the colored variations today, but all of them are marked as "available for preorder"

any chance you could post a couple of pics showing what the case looks like when open and folded back? All the photos i've seen of it don't show this. want to know how much it bulks the phone out.
cheers

Managed to pick the one and only one of these up from my local Phones4U in Croydon today, then went to the other local Phones4U and bough the other one, looks like they are finally starting to trickle in.

Figured out how to get the case to function as a kickstand. It's simple, but involves needing something else like a laptop or book as a prop. Simply open the cover and fold it over the back of the device. Then just rest the device on the laptop or book of your choice. Then, boom it stays put in place and with the way I got it, the angle is pretty nice for viewing.
