Hey everyone! I have yet to receive my HTC Kaiser/Tytn2/V1615 blah blah but until it arrives I wanted to investigate the different cases out there!
Seems like the Seidio is the way forward, however I saw this with 40 seconds to spare and decided to give it a go, has anyone got this or tried this out?
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-RUBBERIZED-HARD-SKIN-COVER-CASE-for-HTC-8925-TILT_W0QQitemZ300195281091QQihZ020QQcategoryZ15039QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
Obviously for that price I don't expect it to be anywhere near as good as a Seidio case, but hopefully it'll be better than those silicon ones and will do as an interim case till I get the proper one from Seidio.. Thoughts?
Thanks for reading!
EDIT:
Ack! Sorry this should have gone in the accessories thread! >__<

I bought the rubberised case from Siedo, but Boxwave do sell 'slim rubberised shell cases' for the cost of $27.95 in jet black and metallic silver
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 ;-)

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.
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!
I'm going to be getting the HD7S, and I was looking for a good case for the HD7 as they're the same phone. My problem with a lot of cases is that dust and other things get inside the case and scratch the phone. So I was wondering if anyone could help me out and let me know which cases don't do that, the Otterbox Commuter in particular.

if anyone has the case from tmobile that has black edges and a clear back but also want a belt clip get the one from Seidio. I already had that case and ordered the $50 one from Seidio that has case and clip and noticed the tmobile case fits perfectly in the Seidio clip.
The case i received with my hd7 was a cheap $5 one off eBay. The guy told me he paid $20 for it, however i paid $2.50 off Amazon for the same quality case for my last phone. I bought an Otterbox commuter case and for $25 off Amazon it is a great buy. The inner part of the case is rubber and seals all the contact points on the phone and case.

I want the Candyshell from Speck...
That is a pretty nice one.. But the price is way too expensive than I wanted. T.T
What I really like is the PowerSkin for the HD7 - I use with a screen protector I bought separately. Only shortcoming is Powerskin doesn't have a belt clip/holster and is way too big for most phone holsters - I ordered a horizontal case for a GPS off eBay - if it works I'll update with the model number here..

Never heard of it - looked it up and man, what a gorgeous case!! I'd get one right now if I didn't have the powerskin..
I use on my HD7 a Momax iCase Pro. 10 bucks only and it's very good.
Otterbox off Ebay is amazing. Came just the other day and it fits snug inside.
It costed around 40 bucks but is well worth it
Otterbox for sure!!!! I used all three cases they sell at TMO:
-Body Glove was second best IMO (pretty, but cheap feeling, it creaks when you squeeze the chrome borders)
-Hard rubber with the grid back (decent but bland)
-Black bumper with clear back (tight fit *good* but volume keeps pressing with the slightest touch due to the tight buttons covers, plus back scratches easily)
Otterbox, no contest. Tight fit, covers up my decaying buttons (seriously HTC?) and soooo sexy with the brushed metal styling on the back, and feels so much slimmer than the Body Glove
I just got the 2 smoke argyle tpu case on ebay for the price of $0.00 (got a refund and replacement). The cases however are only mediocre. Its a tight fit so I don't have to worry about it coming off or anything like that and it gives you a pretty good grip of the phone. However, it does get slippery if you have sweaty palms like myself and the buttons are now harder to press because of the cover. The TPU case is sturdy and I believe it will protect my phone but it surely is not the best case out there. Price right now on ebay is $3.95 for 1.
I have looked at more premium cases like the momax icase pro and the speck candyshell. The candyshell looks to be a great case and I will probably buy one eventually.
Got the Otterbox case a couple days ago. Works wonders! It has an awesome feel, isn't bulky at all and provides good protection, not to mention the buttons are easier to push. Recommend it for sure! 10/10.
(TWSS also applies to much of what I said.)
I'm thinking of getting the Otter Box myself as I cannot find any Speck cases in the UK.
Only problem I see is that the phone won't fit on a dock/cradle with the Otter Box!?
Why do you need a dock when you have a kickstand?

Good point lol - never thought of that. I suppose I thought it would be handy to charge etc although I still haven't seen a dock I like yet as they don't seem to have supports on the ones with the audio jacks built in. I don't like the thought of my phone free standing with the USB and audio jack inside it in case it breaks somehow.
I would vote ooterbox as #1 but the case dosnt have a belt clip or holster like the defender series. ANd the fact that they dont plan on making one make me lean in favor for the body glove. I got Zaggg's invisible shield max all over the phone with the body glove case. It gives it a really tight feel and stiffens up the bodyglove case from squeaking and making cracking sounds when you hold it.
My vote is for either CaseMate "Barley There" or, Incipio Feather Light case.
Nice protection with hardly any additional bulk added.
i found otterbox is a very good case
skin-it
personally I don't like a big case, so otterbox is out for me. I got a skin-it custom skin I am very pleased with. Easy install, fits perfect, holds tight.
Any suggestions about fully transparent TPU cases, but without ruining the infrared ?
Thank you.

I would strongly recommend BASEUS Air Case. I have been using it for 3 weeks and I am very pleased with it. It is only 0.6mm and protects both phone and its appearance . Since its a soft case, does not scratch the phone body.
There are some sellers at ebay with the unit price between $3.90 and $8.90.

Do you have any images of the case on your phone?
I probably won't get it since it's a glossy material on the inside, which would make it stick to my Xtremeguard, but I'm curious as to the fit of it on the phone.

Looking great, exactly what I've been searchng for
EDIT: lol I discovered now that I've already ordered this case on eBay ! But "BASEUS" isn't named right in the title so I haven't noticed it
i ordered my baseus case..was a lil worried but the tracking finally showed up...i should have it in a week or so..for now im rocking my spigen capsule ..but i want a thinner case
I ordered the Baseus ultra thin TPU case and other 2 clear cases:
Clear Hybrid PC Cover With Black TPU Frame (similar to the AmCase I believe, hard plastic with TPU Bumper)
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...998769&alt=web
NEW ULTRA THIN CRYSTAL CLEAR HARD CASE (similar to the Case-Mate Barely There, I believe, only hard plastic)
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...441622&alt=web
They are all very cheap, all three cases togheter cost less than the Case-Mate Barely there, for instance. Any of you guys have somethig similar?
Also ordered an glass screen protector from Aliexpress, 5 dollars shipped (Dont pay more than that, the brand ones are the same, your only paying marketing costs..)
I will post my opinion when I get them. I hope I like at least one of them
Cheers
i had a transparent case...and it turned yellow with time, bought it on ebay for 2$ though... but my recomendation dont buy that hh :laugh:
