Spoke with Otterbox about the TMO US case. Here is the response if anyone cares.
Update for Case #114446 - "HTC HD2 (Tmobile)"
Dear Francis,
We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have put in a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have.
Thank you,
Katy
I ask/suggest you click this link and request it too. Hopefully if they see a demand, they'll create the supply. I would really love a commuter case for this. I cant stand most of the options out. Thanks.

Wow those "Commuter" model ones are sharp!!! I just added my interest/request via that form....hope they release one and soon! A little pricey perhaps, but I'd pay it if they're as nice as they look

Honestly, A good case is worth $30 or so to me. I have a $450 phone and am absolutely OCD about scratches, especially on the screen. I like PDair but they like everyone else has yet to release a US version. I ordered the Fommy rubberized plastic but it isnt shipping for a couple weeks. I have Otterbox cases and can say the fit/finish is second to none. Plus the commmuter is thin and actually protects well. I think if they get enough interest, they will make it.

Yes I agree, and those are easily the nicest ones I've seen so far.
I also got a very quick reply from their service team...same exact wording as the one you got
I sent them a message as well. Nice looking cases.
Yep, that's a nice looking case right there. We need more people to sign up there (that are also committing to purchase) so we can convince them that there is a demand for it.

Commited or not, as long as they keep seeing TMO HD2, I think we are in good shape. But as always is comes down to the bottom dollar. Hopefully we can just keep getting people to request it through the site.
Yeah, I sent in my request as well. I probably won't get it considering I've got this new invisibleSHIELD from Zagg, but I'm all about more accessories for our phone
I too just send my requests in. hopefully they will change there minds and make it for us. if enough peep flood their mail box for TMO HD2.
Added mine as well and moving this thread to the ACC forum that everyone asked for.
I asked too
Hello Everyone,
I put in a request at otterbox too.
1 Defender series Black
1 Defender series Yellow
I hope they realize that they could corner the market on these cases for the USA version HD2
I told them that too
Thank you,

Sounds a little more optimistic than previous replies.
i have the defender case for my 3gs....it has saved my iphone twice....once from a ladder...3 feet to a concrete floor and another time down a half flight of concrete steps...about 10 steps. it paid for itself many times over and the iphone still works great
Requested as well
I have requested one as well.

Looks like Vaja cases are coming up with a case for the Athena.
When you go to the site and do the following clicks, it leads you to a form that you can fill out specifically for the Athena. You can submit your suggestions. These cases are AWESOME. Let's get as many people to go in and submit suggestions so they know there is interest. I want to buy one of these when they come out.
http://www.vajacases.com
- Click Mobile
- Click HTC
- Click Advantage
Submit form with suggestions. I wonder what their release target date is.
Done. I told them that I needed a nice case for carrying the Ameo without the keyboard, and suggested a two part case that can be used with or without...
well, the athena vja case site has been up since the athena was released, definetely since april. so that doesn't mean anything.

Ah, thanks for that info. Maybe we'll see something soon with the release of the device in the US and exposure to an expanded market.
UPDATE
Well...there might be hope for the Vaja case....
When I replied to Vaja that since they didn't know when they'd be releasing the Athena case I might need to get the available now PielFrama case instead, they replied that I should contact them again in a few days...
Well, a few days went by and I emailed them again yesterday....waiting to hear back from them....
For those interested in a Vaja case, you might want to email them asking when it will be available.....squeaky wheel gets the grease....
There we go. We'll see. It would be great if they came out with two cases. One full body and the other for main device without keyboard. I would buy BOTH!

Hey everyone, I know that a lot of people are eagerly awaiting the release of the T-mobile HD2. However, as noted, the size of the US HD2 is different so many accessories do not fit. So here's a thread where we can list compatible cases/screen protectors etc.
As of now, I only know that case-mate is planning on a release of US sized "barely there" cases in a couple of weeks.

1.5 mm does not matter allot
I got the Bodyguardz full body skin for my TMO US HD2, you notice the size diff. It doesnt fully reach top to bottom on the screen or back pieces. Also, I ordered the HD2 Dock w/batt charger on Amazon for 39.99, and the TMO HD2 does NOT fit. Friend bought the same one and his EU HD2 fits perfectly. I would suggest waiting for TMO specific accessories.
Does anyone know where the difference in size or shape is? Does that mean the TMO HD2 is bigger? Or just a different shape?
EDIT:
I found the answer here:
http://pocketnow.com/thought/t-mobile-hd2-vs-htc-hd2-comparison
I purchased the pdair luxury case...
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=26975
and it fits but not perfect. The bottom part of the case lifts up a little bit and does not reach the front buttons. Like it shows in the picture.
if anyone's interested, heres a website for hd2 accessories, its by the same company at nexusoneaccesories.com
http://www.thinkhd2.com/
Just a heads up to everyone, I just noticed that Zagg has there T-Mobile version of the Invisible Shield available in both screen and full body and that they have listed as maximum protection (I think it is just Full body) but I am going to order my shield tomorrow and hope to get it by the weekend.

I think if they get enough phone calls from TMOUS HD2 owners, They may want to comply with the demand.......give them a call as I did. They close at 5PM Eastern Time
CALL CASE MATE at 1-866-689-3432 AND HELP BUILT DEMAND for a great product. Ask them how they can offer a cover for the iPad BEFORE is was released and not offer a cover for the best phone on the US market. I offered to boycott their iPod products but it didn't get me far.

I tried contacted them; the first time they said they would have a case for the US HD2 out in 2 weeks; then I put a suggestion on their website and they said "accepted"; next time I contacted them they said they had not decided what case they would have for the US HD2 and the last time I contacted them they said they had no plans for a case for the US HD2. This is very poor marketing in view of the fact that the phone has sold several times in the U.S. I would certainly vote to boycott them.

I've called them multiple times; depending on who answers the call, the response varies. They need to hear from potential customers frequently to keep the request "fresh on the agenda".

Ordered a leather case of ebay for £8.99 its basic but i do think its better than the cloth one you get with it
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140417784761&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Ah very nice. I would interested in a write up of your opinion and images with the Streak in the case when you get it, if not too much trouble.
I need to purchase one pretty soon if the US release indeed is July 14th.
.
BAD EXPERIENCE with the seller.
I order this one on 22/6, havent received it. I sent a couple of email to the seller, and wanted to return the item if he had not sent it yet. He just closed my return case and reported to ebay that he dealt with me through email, the thing he never did.
I will wait a couple of day more before opening a dispute through paypal and report to ebay
The one listed above? The case isnt available until the 3rd July (as its says in the listing) so you wouldn't have got it. Since the 3rd was Saturday id have expected delivery about Wednesday this week.
I purchased the case on 22/6 which saved it was available on 23/6, he also marked it as despatched on that day. That's why I am so upset right now with the seller attitude
I ordered one of the super trader ones yesterday, its just been shipped, should be here in the morning.
Guess it will take up a bit less space than the oakley hard case I've been using to transport the streak this weekend..
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
this one might be good. they custom make it for you
$bay:
design your own case
have a look at some of the comments on the "easecase" on xda..
especially the HD2 forum, some people weren't that impressed with them
I'm presuming Noreve will come out with a case at some point for the streak, their cases are really good, I've been really happy with my Hd2 one.
My HD2 easecase is really nice. It fits perfectly and is well made. Id say the leather isnt high end quality, and does look fake, but its been durable.
Ive seen some of those so call high end cases that cost £50+ and frankly they look like rubbish. Good leather, but not so well made or fitting.

I think you have given him more than enough time. REPORT before he skips town !!
I got my case from superetrader, via the ebay store, the link above this morning having ordered it over the weekend.
I suggest dropping them a line via their online shop, they have been pretty responsive in the past. I've never had an issue with them
Anyway the case isn't too bad, theres a recess for the streak and a cover held in place with two magnets. Not certain what effect those magnets will have on the screen or the compass. But we'll see..
Its not a tight fit, with the cover open, so it's pretty easy to get the streak out. It's a pity the internal compartment isn't see through so you can see the screen without moving it from the case. But overall it should do the job of protecting it while its in my bag.

I will give them one more day. Sent 5 emails, no response, what a top-rated seller, lol

Whoa thank you very much for doing this! A huge help.
- Do you think it would be easy to cut off the belt clip?
- Can you fit it in your pocket?
- Does the flap have magnets in it?
- Does the flap bother you?
For me personally, I think the flap would be very bothersome. I would prefer just a simple slide out.
Thanks again

belt clip is held on buy a stud so should be able to take it off but i wanted one on
it fits in my pocket OK but would fit better with no belt clip
the flap has two magnets on it and no it does not bother me i dare say in a few months ebay will be full of accessories
The flap is big but i do think it makes the pouch more damage proof if you know what i mean
I got this case-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083P0MI4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
and this screen protector-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EO263I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
They'll both be here Monday, which is when my Nexus 7 (16 GB) will be delivered too. I have and have had products from both Moko and ArmorShield, and both are excellent quality.
I think I'm going to buy that case. For $6.99, it will hold me over until a better one comes around. I don't like it for permanent use.
I do want a screen protector too, but I only want the non-spray self-sticking (static cling?) ones. I bought one of those for my wife's iPad and it worked great. I bought a spray-and-stick one for my SGT8.9, and it sucked (Zag).

Well, MoKo makes good stuff, it should last a while, I think they are just doing the deep discount to get in on the Nexus 7 frenzy. I agree on the Zagg's, I don't like them either, but ArmorShield, Skinomi and BodyGuardz are all good ones, they all make dry apply and wet apply. I usually go for dry apply on phones, like my Galaxy Note i717, but on bigger things like tablets the wet apply ones are easier to install and work with, at least for me. The ArmorShield's are really thin, don't yellow and are not sticky like the Zagg's, which is one reason why I dislike Zaggs too.
Just ordered that case as well. Can't beat that price with prime shipping.

I ordered a moko one that has the magnetic sleep/wake function. Sort of a gamble because there is only one pic, but it looks like it can function as a stand as well.

Right on! I have been pretty impressed with their stuff, Skinomi's are a little sticky, and Zagg's are ultra sticky of course. With the ArmorShields, the little imperfections will settle out over the next couple of days, and if for some reason it goes crazy, they will just send you another set out.

Dear buyer:
Sorry for another intrusion but we just came across this report and

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/White-Nexus-7-Case-Stain-Clean-Black-Nexus-7,16302.html
With the same porous plastic material, we are concerned that the black
back on the retail version could also be susceptible to dye to some
extend. It may be embarrassing but we have to admit that we did not
have this issue in mind when our fist batch of Nexus cases was made.
Although the case has NOT left any mark on neither of the white or
black Nexus 7 we have after a short period of normal use, we would
rather be overcautious and have more intensive tests done before we
can comfortably let you use the case, even as a temporary solution. We
definitely could not afford to have you as beta-testers on this issue
with your brand new tablets and would suggest you hold off using the
case until you get further confirmation from us or a replacement case,
hopefully within 5-7 days.You can be assured all our future shipments
will be fully compatible with Auto wake/sleep feature and free of any
staining problems guaranteed. You will get to choose any style you
prefer from our whole selection of Nexus cases as the free
replacement.
I understand most of you will get your Nexus 7 today and I am really
sorry to disappoint you with this message but please do excise caution
if you have to use something else on your Nexus. Again, I apologize
for the inconvenience and would appreciate your understanding and
patience in this process of getting the right protection for your
Neuxs. This is what we do and we will do it right for you.
Please also let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.Thanks, Jim
WOW, I don't think I've had such good customer service, at least not that I can remember! Most companies would be like "Oh, sorry about that case we sent you last month, it probably left marks allover your device,sorry, but we can't do anything".

I know, I'm shocked too. Question: you just ordered the one case in your OP, right?
I ask because I ordered TWO cases from this seller. The one you did, plus the $12.99 smart case they came out with on Sunday. I wanted to make sure that this email was about the first case, not the second one (or both).
I am really shocked that they would have gone so far to help their customers for something that cost $6.99 shipped. I was actually going to return that case, since I got the better one, but I think I'm going to keep it just out of support of the seller.

Yeah, just that one. I am really impressed too, it shouldn't be shocking to get that kind of customer service, but the world being like it is today it's surprising to get that level of service, I am definitely going to be doing more business with them in the future!
Hi Folks,
I emailed Incipio last week to see if they intended making covers for the N7 like they do for the Ipad and they emailed me back last night to say they are releasing a range of products but no details are available yet, but to keep an eye on their website and there should be info there soon. Would really like a Incipio feather case for my 7 along with a smart cover..
Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have more info
Cheers,
Mick

Hope they make the legend case! Its the best case I've seen so far
These cases are amazing. I've Put some cash aside for when these are released. Even the international shipping seems reasonable. I'm surprised there isn't more mention of these on the forum rather than all the cheap plether bulky rubbish everyone seems to like! No accounting for taste!
Any updates on this?
I got this response from them yesterday. I did ask about which specific cases might be available but no details yet.

Thank you for your follow up email. We do have plans to be making cases for the Nexus 7, however they’re currently in development so we do not currently have an estimated release date for the cases. I apologize for any inconveniences, however if you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Kind Regards,

Exactly. Google is selling tons of these things and it's been over a month now. I want to give my money to anyone that comes out with a "tank" case but no one is stepping up to the plate.

Maybe it's because lots of friggin people want to friggin buy them?
...or maybe it's because one size fits all and so it's easier to get one to market early.
No company can set up, tool up and manufacture quality products at the drop of a hat never mind them wanting to make sure there's going to be a sustainable market for it.
I realise that moaning is one of the US national pastimes but these forums are international and believe me it gets very old very quickly having to trawl past all these whinging posts to try and find the good stuff.

sweet looking forward to getting one

Oh please. I'm not one of the complainers on this board and my post was not whining. These tablets have been selling like hot cakes and it's been out for long enough where someone should be making a hard case by now.

i agree with this. i also believe google announced the tablet and released it 2-3 weeks later and didn't work with anyone on accessories. perhaps it was to generate sales of their case, but the consumer got screwed. i'm not a fan of the asus case. from day one i wanted a leather case and over a month later, i'm still limited in my choices becasue companies are still working on their cases. i emailed marware last week and they still said 4-6 weeks.
OMG can this come any sooner?? :crying:
$30 for a sleeve? Are you guys seriously melting over this?
Talk about low standards.
Incipio makes decent cases, but they're always way overpriced. I got the N7 because of its value, and this is going to carry over with my accessories for it. If I wanted to overspend, I would have gotten an iPad.
