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 -

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

Yeah... PDair's shipping options suck!.... I am also still waiting for mine

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?
Please post which cases are confirmed to fit the US T-Mobile version of the HD2.
I'm currently using the black gel case that came with it, but it makes me worry, as it comes off easily and does not cover the camera at all! I fitted 2 tiny pieces of duct tape around the camera to protect it - there has to be a better solution

This is the one I bought and I am very pleased with the quality and protection it provides. It's also inexpensive and has a metal clip, not plastic.
Good luck!

The OEM European leather slip case fits the US Tmo version perfectly. Very thin and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all. I really like it. Though I'm still hoping Sena comes out with an ultraslim slip for it because I like the feel of real leather.

Those Sena cases look awesome - I just emailed their customer service, hopefully one is in the works for the HD2. Other than that there's one at more-thing dot com (I can't post links yet) for the HD2 that looks pretty good as well.

Can you just confirm this fits the us tmobile version. I want to order it but wanted to verify with someone who actually has this case to see if it fits.. Thanks!

I bought mine off ebay. But I had the for thought to buy it a couple of weeks before the US release when there was very little demand for it. It was under $6 bucks shipped from China to the US and took 7 days.
Just looked it up. Here is the link to the auction.

Does your TMO HD2 fit in the case with the provided gel case installed as well? I'm thinking "no" but I would like to know for sure. Thanks!
The rubber slip on that comes with it sucks. It's loose and it collects lint like a mother... There is really nothing good onlinethat I can tell. However, T Mobile sells a few slip ons at their store.
The black one they sell is soft rubber and just as sucky as the one that came with it, but the purple case they sell that is in a clear box is rigid and strong, fits tight and awesome... The downfall is that it's purple... but it's only 14.99 so I bought it. It picks up no lint and is very rigid and fits super tight. Much like your pal's Iphone case. it will work for now, until Seidio or some other good case company puts out something else. This case doesn't protect the camera at all but it's great it every other way... (Besides being Purple) check out the pics. I put that decal on there to make it a little less feminine maybe? It won't let me post the pictures so hopefully the links work and you can cut and paste. Sorry. Says I'm a new user... put the http stuff in front of it if you want to see it.

Nice links, will be buying a leather case w/ the red stiching soon.
I found a good case at the T-Mobile store, it just showed up. Body Glove, clear plastic, pretty attractive, with some rubber for grip + kickstand. Check your local T-Mobile store, I'm happy with it. It costs $20

I thought magnet cases are not good for the phones with accelerator . G-sensor, GPS, etc???
I saw that one at fommy.com... My issue is that they don't show the back of the case and I want to make sure that if I buy another case, that it protects the camera lens... I'm holding out for Boxwave's honeycomb case.
Having exactly the same case on my previous phone (Nokia E71) I have found the same style just for US T-Mobile HD2 - it's not really the full case BUT it will do great job with Invisible Shield over the screen

I need to make a decision on which one to get. I really want to figure a way out on putting a belt clip on one of these, but not sure how to or what clip would work. It seems the Noreve was offered with a belt clip which was later no longer issued as it was breaking due to the weight of the case and streak in it. If anyone has one of these and worked out a way, please let me know. Thanks:
Noreve
Tuff-Luv
I have a Tuff Luv case, reviewed on here a while back, great piece of kit and very well made but no belt clip. To be honest I wouldn't trust my streak to a belt clip no matter who made it.
2devnull
Hi,
from what I have read on the forum and the net..
I can say, carrying it on a Belt (clipped) may not be the best idea.
It either goes well in your deep(er) pant pocket, or in your backpack!
from the choice, the Noreve seems much more classy than the later one.
My 2 cents!
care,
Sony
I agree. The device is to big to be trusting it to some cheap plastic belt clip. even tho I ordered the defender by otter box I know for a fact ill never use the belt clip.
The noreve looks better..plus there is a stand on the back , bit more functional
Thanks all for the input. I am surprised that many have stated that a belt clip is not desired. I must say, I have been carrying it around with the cloth pouch that came with it for the last few weeks and I really don't think I would trust not having it on my belt. This may be because I have always had a leather flip type case for all my previous phones for close to 15+ years.
The other thing is that I don't think I would trust to keep it in jeans pocket and other than work, I don't carry any sort of bag with me, so I need something that does not consume one hand.
But this is interesting feedback. I was hoping to get something more like this and not some adhesive thing. Although, they seem to only be selling a minimum quantity of 1500.
Also, Noreve seems to have this clip which I don't know if it was the one they offered before, but it looks like it is a new design. I will need to contact them to see if their streak case has the place to screw in the part that slides into the clip. But, the one with the rivets and backing plate does look a whole lot more secure.
I ordered one of these with belt clip number 01 (scroll down to look at options). They will custom make them to your dimensions if you want to put it in the case with a cover on it. I have not received mine yet, but reviews elsewhere were very good. They offer other configurations. Right now they have no listings because of the Chinese New year.
Well, it looks like the Noreve case + clip + shipping will cost USD $103. Probably twice as much as I was looking at paying.
I guess I'll be back to looking at the Otter Defender or the Tuff-Luv if I can modify it. So strange that most nice accessories for this phone is only available across the pond.

Yes, I had first look into this. The issue I have with this other than waiting for their New Year to complete is that I am afraid of dropping the streak after taking it out of the case. With the two I was looking at and also the defender, at least they are made to stay in a case and benefit from some protection.
I don't know anymore, it is becoming frustrating. With all these price points and pros and cons, it is hard to just try them all by ordering and no place to go an try them without purchasing.

I ordered the easecase large enough so that I can leave the Otterbox Impact case on the phone and carry it in the leather case. My thinking was that I have a carry case and I still have protection when I remove it.
The best way to carry/manage using the Streak as an every day device is still evolving for me. I have spent at least 1/2 the cost of the phone on accessories.

hmmm.....this is very interesting.....I know when I had my iPhone, I got this and then put it into a leather belt case, so this may actually be like the same thing. I would probably go for the commuter case however as I read the silicon is a bit different from the Impact and Defender in that it is less susceptible to lint etc.
Thanks for the idea. The cost will run it up there again to approx $70-80 and I'll have to wait about 2-3 weeks for the easecase part
2devnull,
I don't believe that there are any good inexpensive ways to carry the Streak around and protect it. I have seen reports of some people using a Nintendo DS carrying case. I looked at that and just didn't want to go that way.
What about this one?
Just found this one on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Zing-571-221-MPEBK1-Medium-Electronic/dp/B000E6S3TK/ref=sr_1_56?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1296433970&sr=1-56
Well, I think I'm going the Otterbox Commuter + Easecase route unless something changes by the time Easecase returns.
I too am looking for a belt leather case for my Streak as I don't like caring the device in my pocket too much. I did contact
I contacted Noreve regarding their CLIP and Case combo but here is what I got!
Is the Dell Streak case compatible with the belt clip?
Do you have a case for Dell Streak that can be clipped to a belt?
Dear Rafal,
No I am sorry.
Too heavy.
My best regards,

A lot of money for something that does not close and you risk taking out an unprotected Streak and dropping it. A little modification and internal size would be ideal so that you can put a protected Streak (with Impact or Commuter or even jelly) inside it.

The Monaco case is only useful if you use your phone with no cover/case. I had one for one day. I got it in a batch if stuff I bought and sold it the next day. It does look well made and suits someone who carries the Streak naked. It would be great for someone who carries the Streak in a purse or backpack a lot.
I have the Otterbox Defender on my phone and bought a case from eBay seller easecase. They will customize the cases to your dimensions. I will get some pics up of my easecase soon.
I offered the Monaco as a suggestion because everyone uses their phone differently and if you like going light and sleek it would be a good fit.
I stated before that I have not found any good cheap options. I got my Defender for no cost, but had to buy a group of accessories and then sell what I did not want to do that. I have more time than money so that method worked for me.
Agreed, if a purse or bag or someone who is comfortable with a naked Streak, it would be ideal - however I think I read that it does not close correctly.

The one that I had was a perfect fit for the phone with no case. The openings were aligned properly for the headphone and charging ports. If I were carrying my Streak with no other case/cover on it I would have kept it.
The Monaco case is such a good fit that even a TPU case makes the phone too big.
Hi guys,
since I got my Nexus 7 WiFi almost a month ago and still don't have a proper case, I finally decided to buy one, but I'm not sure yet which one to get, as there's quite a few different ones out there.
What I'm looking for:
- reliable sleep/wakeup functionality when opening/closing the case
- useable as a stand when in landscape mode
- should not cover up any connectors/plugs of the N7 WiFi
- material plastic or faux leather
- dark color, preferably black
- not too expensive
- should provide good protection from scratches, smaller falls etc.
Would really appreciate your advice on this one, especially if you made some good/bad experiences with (multiple) different cases.
A bonus would be if the case also was available in a european-based online shop, as I live in Germany, but its not a necessity.
Thanks in advance, looking forward to your suggestions
Tech21 make nice leather folio cases with d30 material inside, should be good for a fall;
http://shop.tech21.uk.com/store/Pro...02W_Google-Nexus-7-Leather-Case--Impact-Folio
No sleep function but it has a pocket on the lid where you could stick a magnet inside to create the sleep function, I've stickytaped one in and it works great.
Thanks for the suggestion, but that one is a bit out of my price range.
I also don't need neither real leather nor a super hi-tech drop/fall protection.
I'm looking for something for about 20-30 Euros, if possible.

I have a roocase that is basically exactly what you described. But it's over $30 from what I found

Thanks, I looked it up on Amazon, but there seem to be lots of different versions of the roocase for the Nexus 7, many of them in my price range.
Which case do you have exactly, could you maybe hook me up with a link?
Like you I bought my Nexus7 around a month ago and spent a lot of time thinking about which case to get.
In the end I went with this one from Amazon and it really is as good as it looks in the pics.
Plus it's amazing value.

I'm not exactly sure, I received it as a gift and threw the packaging away long ago.
although there are various other threads on this same topic. I suggest the poetic slimline, it's what i use and seems to have all the qualities your looking for.
i bought the poetic that everyone here raves about. it looks very nice, but the problem i gave with it is the stand. after a couple of weeks it is very weak. i also bought and highly recommend the Moko Slim Case. looks great, fits perfect and the stand is much sturdier and has two viewing angles. it also has a loop on it to hold your stylus and a strap for your hand to slide into very comfortably. theres even an elastic strap that fits over the corners to keep case secured open when in use in your hand so the the cover doesnt flap around. highly recommend this product. youtube review of it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8eTdyBgbnI
and you can get it on amazon for $15.99 http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit-Google-Android-Tablet/dp/B008FLYROG
I have the poetic slim in black and got it for 12 shipped on amazon. Like said above it's stand gets weak after awhile and isn't ideal for that. The reason I got it was to protect the screen and to not be bulky. It does that job really well.
I usually use Trident cases but they don't make anything for us who have extended batteries. The plastic cases Verizon sells are absolute junk, bought one and never again. I need something worth it's money. Yes, I'm one of those who drops his phone often lol :angel:
Thanks!

I have been researching the same thing and not coming up with a whole lot. About 4 or 5 of them and nothing too impressive.
I've been using a Diztronic for a while with pretty good results. They can be found on Amazon for about $12.

I recently got the same case. It's slim and made out of that flexible material that's somewhere between silicone and hard plastic. It doesn't stick in your pockets or collect lint. I very much like it.
