I have a T-Mobile USA HD2 on order, which should be arriving in a couple of days.
I like Krusell cases, and the various kinds of clips and holders one could use with them. I use the leather belt holder, and the bicycle and car holders.
I see a Krusell case for the HTC HD2:
http://www.krusell.se/products/1/?catid=75&productid=3872
Looks nice.
However, I believe I have read in a post here or somewhere, that a case for the (European) HD2, won't fit the T-Mobile USA HD2.
As this one just is listed for HTC HD2, and Krusell is a European company (Sweden), I assume it is for the original model.
Are the dimensions of the two phones different--original model, and T-Mo USA? Is there anything different about placement of ports, buttons, etc.?
If not, and the only difference is in the 3G bands, I don't see how a case for one wouldn't work on the other.
Could anyone clarify?
Has anyone here tried this case with the T-Mo USA HD2?
T-mobile HD2 is longer than European version
Ya, basically what suryo88 said. It isn't much longer but it is enough to keep some cases from fitting correctly. This is a page that compares the two so you can see.

Thanks for the info.
Of course that was a pre-release Tmo model in the Pocketnow article. I assume that the final one probably had the same dimensions.
Anyone tried that Krusell case?
With width and depth identical, where could that type of case go wrong, with extra length? Perhaps the flip cover wouldn't close properly?
It just depends on how the case is constructed and how it holds the phone and all that. Like with the OtterBox cases they can crack if you have the wrong version. So if any part of the case you're curious about is hard plastic or something there is a chance it could break if not fitted correctly. I have no clue though, that's all assumption.

Is there such a thing?

These fit, but the cutouts are for the Mogul, which doesn't match the XV6800 quite right.
Dunno. I'm in the same boat. I want a case for my XV6800 but have no idea what one to get.
damn mogul... stealing all the spotlight!
The Seidio case for the Mogul, works just dandy for the xv6800. I have it on mine. While the cutouts on the face don't line up perfect with the xv6800, it still works. None of hte buttons are covered at all. It still looks ok too. I have the red/burgandy case on my 6800 and it looks nice, barely any blue shows thru. And the areas where the cut out don't line up on the face are silver areas too.
I highly reccomend it. Best case for the 6800 by far, even if it's not perfect for the verizon version.

I knew they fit, and I know they're good cases. That wasn't my question. I wanted to know if there was something similar that had the correct cutouts. Everyone I know with a Seidio case loves it, I would just like the cutouts to match.

Well I wanted it to be clear to anyone else reading it that the case works great.
As far as the cutouts being perfect, there is no alternative currently. I don't think Seido plans to make one either yet (I emailed them, they said no) as the xv6800 is currently the least popular implementation of the Titan.
+1 I really like mine. I have had the back case with the belt holster from seidio.... no regrets.
Mobi Crystal Case
This Mobi see-through hard case is designed specifically for the XV6800.
for what it's worth, I'm delighted with my Seido rubberized black hard case for use with Seido's extended battery. There's no interference with controls, except that the volume wheel is a bit recessed. I use the Seido case with my Mugen 3600mAh battery; I must leave the Mugen battery door off, but that's not a problem: nothing rattles, everything fits snugly, and the battery is that much easier to get to if I forget to charge it and need to pop in a spare.
I probably would have got the reddish case, but the black was cheaper.
yeah... i may just suck it up and get that one. maybe later on down the road when verizon lowers the price on this phone and it becomes more popular, someone will make a case that is taylored to this version of the titan.
broke down and got it... couldnt be happier! lol, fits just fine for me!
rubberized case - xv6800
any one try this one: http://www.xvdepot.com/seidio-super-slim-rubberized-hard-case/4A123A2934.htm
it's the exact same one. it actually ships directly from seidio when you purchase it from that site. however, seidio charges less shipping, so you're better off getting it right from their website.

I have the VZW xv6800 and it is equipped with the extended battery and back. Therefor most of these items do not fit the phone properly and eventually rip or tear apart. Does anyone know of a holster that does work for the extra width? Any help would be appreciated.
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.

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)...

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.
So I was reading some reviews on casemate's website and saw several people claiming that it fits (really tight)!!! Anyone on here try this case yet?
http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-HD2-Cases/Case-Mate-HTC-HD2-Barely-There-Cases.asp
would love to have the mirror finish just dont wanna waste 20 bucks lol
I am not sure about the casemate but this case off amazon is cheap, thin profile, slight rubber finish and works great.

already have that pos.... dosent protect corners thats why im only looking for people who have used the case mate
Wow....

So I ordered this case before TMO released the phone (being proactive) and it does not wrap the phone perfectly. forcing it to fit will crack the case. I also believe that this case has slightly bent my battery cover (which hilariously makes for easier removal). that being said it won't pop off on a drop, and the crack on the case only visible on the inside (when the case is off). I wouldn't recommend this case, but if you can find a USA compatible case, I do highly recommend this style of case.

Thanks for the input...just what I wanted to know
I purchased this case about 2 weeks ago for my US TMO HTC HD2 and I've had no problems with it. It is a little bit snug, but I can take it on and off in a few seconds. And I've taken it off probably 50 times since I got it, my phone has no scratches on it at all. I don't think it's "really tight", it fits perfect. I like how thin and minimal it is. I'd tried a few cheap hard rubberized cases from Ebay and they all started to peel/de-laminate immediately. I like this case so far.
i just bought a similar case with this one for $6 from ebay.It fits my phone perfectly. The only thing that this case is better than mine is: it's not polish.

Hi all,
Just received the leather Pdair horizontal pouch for my 9193 HD2.
Now I was under the impression the 8585 and 9193 were of the same size and the T-Mobile HD2 was a little smaller?
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
The phone fits into the case but it is a very tight fit, as a result the buttons are depressed and the screen is on all the time.
PDair have replied to my email that they do not have a case for the 9193.
So HTC have released 3 different sizes of this phone? I cannot understand why.
more than likely they have a "universal" case they thought would fit the hd2 and it doesn't. I don't think there is enough of a size difference between the hd2's to matter with a leather case. Now for the invisishields it could be an issue.
I would try to send it back and get my money back. The cases really should be able to handle the hd2 and a protective case. Mine does:

http://www.amazon.com/GTMax-Black-H..._69?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1281777514&sr=1-69
I bought this case on recommendation from a post in this section.
I asked them if the HD2 comes in 3 different sizes but no response.
From what I have read the T-Mobile USA and the LEO 8585 vary in size. The telstra 9193 I would have thought was the same size as the Leo 8585. Obviously not or it could just be a bad case.
I cant believe I cant find a two piece snap on case for the M8 yet. Well let me correct that, I cant believe I can only find a pink or clear snap on case for the M8.
i.e. http://www.amazon.com/HTC-One-M8-2014-Edition/dp/B00IX2LP5Q
In the past I have always order from:
http://www.ebay.com/usr/luxuarycellwireless
For my HTC EVO 4G LTE I had this case for 2.5 years without a single problem. This was such a great case I have over 10 friends order the same style case for their phones with no issues.
I ordered one case from Amazon that was advertised as this style, but ended up being a TPU case. Just like before, I can not stand the TPU design. Think who ever thought this was a good idea and designed this style case should DIAF.
I have contacted the ebay seller, and they do not know when they are getting a M8 case in yet, they have asked their manufacture to produce, but do not have a delivery time yet.
Please help me find a black, gray case in this style.
I am not sure what you mean by "two-piece" case since this isn't a slider but I got one of those black snap cases with kickstand and hip holster at the Verizon shop for about $30.
I found the one I have on Verizon's website for about $25 simply labelled as "Shell/Holster Combo for HTC One m8". I would post links but I don't have that ability.
I also found a similar one (labelled as a Maxboost All New HTC One m8 Case) on Amazon much cheaper but it looks like the holster blocks the charging and maybe even the headphone ports.
I like the look of this case, looks very protective, but it's still so far away from coming out

By two piece case I mean one where the front "trim ring" if you will, snaps into the back part of the case, so the phone is clam-shelled into the case. The one thing this also provides is more of a lip around the screen, which not only protects the screen better, but also helps me personally when I use keyboards like Slide it or Swipe, as it keeps my palm from hitting the edge of the screen causing letters or enter key to get accidentally hit.
Here is a good example of what I am talking about for a Droid Incredible
