Leather Case

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

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..

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.

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

couldnt agree more. i would LOVE a simple slide out holster type case. had a blackberry 800something few years back and they case that came with was a very simple slide case. id love to see something like that for streak. infact when my case arrives i might see if its possible to take the flap off

You're welcome
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

exciting case form factor: ebay seller contacted

hi guys,
as we know, cases for the streak are few and far between right now. the only really decent ones are these: easecase so, i have contacted this seller with a case idea in mind and given the seller the link to this thread. so heres what would help this case idea be made. even if you are a casual troller or a regular poster, please comment in this thread so that the seller can see there is a demand for this type of case that way we get a awesome case and the seller gets a client base without much effort at all. here is the case idea.
a simple but strong leather holster type case with no flap:
soft leather holster
all correspondence will go in here:
hi,
im a member of various dell streak forums/sites and your items keep cropping however, there is a distinct lack of cases for the streak and i would like to ask if there is a way you could make a leather holster type case as the ones you offer make the big streak seem even bigger. the type of case i have in mind is something like this:
*case link as above*
this would be perfect for the dell streak as it would allow easy access to the device without having it seem like a brick on your waist. from a buisness prospective because of the lack of cases for the streak you could get in before the rush with a case form factor that would be very popular.
thank you very much for your time and i hope to hear from you soon.

I would be extremly interested. Enough to buy one!
I had previously sent easecase this message:
I was interested in purchasing a leather case. I

this style but for the Dell Streak/Mini 5.
I love your cases, but all of the Dell Streak/Mini
5 cases have a 'flip over cover'.

agreed. i highly doubt though we will really see a case like that for the streak any time soon..bring on a US release so us brits can get some good stuff

AWESOME! I really like the A5 case, just without the FLAP!
I emailed them and shortly I will be ordering one.
EDIT:
I just purchased this one

Gotta be honest .....not blowing my skirt up...i got one ( wallet stylee ) for 8 quid delivered off of ebay, its really good, also fits really well with the form fit case on there as well, perfectly in-fact....

I saw the ad for the d3 easecase on ebay but was hesistant because it looked like hard to pull the streak from the pouch. I am currently using krusell for my htc hd and it has got like a hole at the bottom where you can use finger to push it out of the case rather than having to pinch it out of it, esp if the flap is in the way....so easecase, would you do somethin like that?

Case Review: REVEAL by Griffin Technologies

I've been on the hunt for a really slim, lightweight case for my Incredible. I have the white HTC battery cover, so I was hoping for something like the iPhone "bumper" cases that allow the back to show through. Since there doesn't seem to be much in that department, I went hunting for the closest thing: the REVEAL by Griffin Technologies.
I really really like it, and couldn't find any other discussion of it, so I did a quick video review, and also took some close-up photos. I promise this isn't an ad, I actually do love this case!
Griffin sells it for $24.99, but you might be able to find it cheaper somewhere else.

I can't really find it anywhere except griffin and bestbuy. I found one for $17.99 from one place but it had terrible sales reviews and I didn't want to risk it.

You just sold me on this so hard. Buying right now. Looks amazing with the white back, I can't wait to show it off finally, haha.

Oh by the way, check it out all. Found a coupon code if you order direct from Griffin Technology's website. The code is PIRILLO1510, it seems to have been active for a few months and you get 15% and free shipping. I can confirm it works. Hope this will help someone else out.

Nice review I was in the market for a case earlier in January but I got one before I saw your review. Then again, maybe if I had a cool white battery cover it'd look cooler. I still have the stock black one.

I actually just ordered one aswell with the discount code mentioned above the free shipping says it only lasts til feb 28 tho cant wait for it!

For those who have bought this case,
How rubbery is the black part of the case? Is there plenty of flex to easily hit all the buttons? Does it feel solid or cheap?

sides are flexable... real solid feeling and slim.. the buttons are easily pressed..by far the best case ive owned..I have the SPECK, otterbox commuter, and various "slim" fit cases and this case surpasses them by far...my case shopping days are over.

FlyGrip a necessity?

I am surprised no one has posted about this as of yet.
QBKing77's youtube channel has a video review of this "contraption".
Currently there is a deal where you get a free TPU case (i think thats what it is called) with the purchase of a $30 FlyGrip.
He also mentions how you get a discount by using his name at the checkout.
I am almost convinced to get one, but would like your input on this.
Check out this video where he discusses the flygrip (somewhere in there).

Thanks for sharing, looks like a great idea
Not sure if it would add too much bulk
Pricing with shippingmmakes it quite expensive for us international buyers

I've been using it for about a week now, and haven't regretted that decision. It's definitely a must if you're using your N2 a lot with single hand. I'm still waiting for Aduro case to release their awesome kickstand case that they had for the GSIII:
Aduro Case
And no, it doesn't add much bulk at all.

The Aduro case looks pretty neat. I might hold off to get one. Is it going to be as cheap like for the GS3? Around $15?

Man that fly grips looks pretty cool anybody get one yet? Its kind of cool how the CEO makes his own youtube video and enter acts with the customers. I just ordered one yesterday and got my shipping confirmation today. I think it will be a great addition to the GN2.

I would love to hear from you! I need someone to convince me into getting this, its just that $30 doesnt seem to worth it...

I've been on the fence with this since i saw a video review of these a few weeks ago. I am horrible about ordering things online. I search the heck out of them and then never buy anything. I really like to see things in person.
I really like the idea though. Seems like it would really make the phone more comfortable for me. I have the flip cover and i usually have one finger between it and the back of my phone which gives me a pretty secure grip but after a few minutes my poor finger starts to feel smashed back there.
Maybe i should just break down and go for it. I could use the free case for testing the mod for using a tpu case with the flip cover.
So indecisive....

Too bad they had super expensive shipping to Sweden
Sent from a big Note 2

I got one. The guy is real easy to deal with. I had to swap mine from white to black since Tmobile had no white Note2s. He did it without issue. I carried my phone for a week w/o the clip and now about a week with the clip. I find its a nice bonus. I mostly use it when I'm relaxing and holding the phone at odd angles. Its great for that, very secure. In day to day use I don't really use it since my TPU case has really good grip already.

I had my phone for almost a week before I got my flygrip. In my opinion it makes the phone much easier to use one handed. I have maybe slightly above average hands and I can reach the whole screen easier with it. The stand feature is very nice too. I have mine on a body glove and feel extremely confident I have a very secure grip on my phone when using it. Weird angle gripping is much easier as well. I would recommend one for the GNII 100%
Regurgitated From My Giant Note II

What time curious about is how easy it is to transfer between cases or devices. I saw a video of somebody removing the FlyGrip and it looked to be some super adhesive material.
How resuable is it exactly?
Edit: Took a closer look and looks like you could grab a pack of 3 replacement adhesives. Was really excited for it despite the price since you could say it's justified with the TPU case throw in....but unfortunately the shipping code "QBKING77" is limited only to the States. Really disappointed since I'll have to pass just based on the shipping costs.
Sent from my GT-I9100M

I had one on my Sensation, and am awaiting new adhesive, but I LOVE my Flygrip. Thing is simply amazing. I didn't think that I would get 30 bucks worth out of thin cheap plastic, but I've been sorely tempted to pickup a second one for my tablet. Also, they have pretty good customer support, I've called three times, and it's always the same guy that answers. I actually prefer this to the kickstand cases because of the one handed grip support. I can't text on my bike without it, especially with this phone. I'll upload a couple pictures as soon as I get my sticky backs

I just took mine off of my Sensation, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It took some forcing to actually begin to remove it, as it is really pretty damn strong, but once I got it separated from the old case it was simple enough to just rub the remaining residue away. It does leave a very clean rectangle on whatever case you put it on after removal lol.

So emailed FlyGrip with some questions. Response was very quick, not to mention a nice surprise with the great customer service!
" .... Additional tape provided”, are there extra adhesive tapes in each FlyGrip package? Or that we would have to buy the pack of 3 if we were interested in replacements?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flygrip comes with (1) extra adhesive. So after you remove it, you can put the new adhesive on.* "Some" people try using the existing adhesive.* It depends on how sticky it still is.* We recommend to use a new one, but sometimes the adhesive is sticky enough to reuse.* We sell (3) packs for $2.47.

Also, a shot in the dark but I'm wondering if you do happen to have any promotions going on for international shipping (namely to Canada) as the FlyGrip was something I was immediately excited for, only to see the cost of shipping.

I asked my manager. You can USE "INTL5" as a code, to receive $5 off shipping.

Tl;dr Each FlyGrip has one extra adhesive, and use INTL5 for $5 off international shipping.

Looks great but $30 is a lot for what it is. I'll wait for the cheap eBay HK version

Love my FlyGrip. I enjoy knowing I'm not going to drop the phone, but I really purchased it because I'm an ex-EVO user and knew I'd miss the kickstand. I use it as a kickstand whenever the phone isn't in my pocket. Right now I'm using the free case that was included, but I'll take it off in a few weeks. I usually don't go for bold colors, but got the blue kickstand and a royal blue case. Nice looking.
He has lots of videos on the site to help with making a decision. Oh, no, it doesn't add bulk, it's only 1/4" deep. USA made and the packaging is very good looking, would make a great gift.

I think it's a smarter decision to look at these.

Ordering from Seidio? Get 10% off!

Hello,
Just thought I'd post this to help those out who are ordering a case from Seidio. I just ordered the Seidio Surface with Kickstand: http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-one-m8-surface-kickstand-case-black-p/csr3htm8k-bk.htm
Unfortunately, most of their cases for the M8 are still "Under development," but I need a case and a kickstand is not negotiable, need something to use as my alarm clock.
Use Promo Code: TW10 for 10% off your order on their site (I guess this is their Twitter Follower discount code.)

Here's a really good youtube of it. Looks great!

I'd love to see you do a review or a few high quality pics. I looked at a video of the M7 case and the kickstand was a huge carbuncle on the back. On their site it looks smooth, but I'd rather see a real one in action.

Will do! I had a Seidio for my HTC One X and it was awesome despite the kickstand not allowing you to charge the device (I modified it, and flipped it around to allow this) But since the ports are different on the One M8 it shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully this case is just as reliable as the last one, which saved my phone a few times from unintended drops.

Thanks. What colour did you get?

NP! Black. I'm a pretty standard color kind of guy. :silly:

I just got the blue, and the colour is really nice. What the photos don't show is it has a pearlescent finish, and is a nice soft touch finish as well. The fit is great too as the above linked youtube shows. Yes it's relatively big money, but definitely a quality piece. My only knock is the kickstand does sit way off the phone like a carbuncle. They should find a way to better integrate it in the design.

P.S. how did you get s-off? Did you have to beg mama HTCDEV for permission to do what you wanted with your $700 device?
