Best case for HD2

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.

No need to wait for the released of that "official" silicon case. You can get one from eBay. I bought mine recently and I'm very satisfied. And from the looks of it based on your picture, I think the one I bought is much better than the official one. Well that's only my perception.

Get the propota Mizu shell
Hi Guys,
I bought one of the silicon shell and most of them has a one big hole in the back rather than three different holes for the camera, led flash and speaker.
When i started to use this silicon thing i noticed that the camera could easily can get damaged as it's wide open due to the big hole so i bought the propota case called MIZU. This has three small holes and very snug fit.
Personally it's alittle expensive but comapred to how much it would cost and the hassle of getting HD2 fixed in case the camera got f**** up I would spend the 19 quid on this. Last phone i had was orbit 2 and i know the pain of trying to get a camera fixed.
hers the link if anyone interested - http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4877&t_mode=des

I bought one on ebay that looks just like that for £6. including shipping http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190375120340&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT It's a perfect fit and looks great. The "gel" finish doesn't pick up lint like the silicone cases.
There were cheaper ones that looked similar from China, but I wanted it in a hurry.

The US T-Mobile HD2 comes with a silicon case? I was about to order one because I plan on getting the HD2 as soon as its released in the US, but thats great if it already has one included.

Nexus One sleve/sock

Hi, I got a nexus one second hand and the person didn't have the sleeve that comes with the phone.
So i called htc and got transferred about 5 times until I got to a rep that told me to go to the htc store to buy one. I then told her that it isn't available there because its not an accessory it comes with the phone :S
After trying to get her to understand the situation she still only could recommend the online store.
I was wondering if anyone know where I could get one? I looked on ebay and none is selling it so any help would be great.
Thanks

I use a hard transparent case, which protects very well and looks great.
Only drawback is the phone will not fit in docks. Also the case will crack if dropped, so buy a couple. They're cheep, and the phone stays flawless.

I have a transparent flexible plastic and a silicon one. Silicon I think is better but love the transparent one. It makes my N1look good.

He is asking for the neoprene sleeve that came with the N1... not some after market cases. Try this http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...you-can-get-replacement-sleeve-nexus-one.html

ummm... http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=neoprene+oem&_sacat=See-All-Categories its definitely available. Question is whether you want to pay for it or not lol

Awsome, I was searching Nexus One Sleeve and nothing came up.
For $5 I'll def be ordering one.

I was reading up a little and aperently the ones on ebay are not as good as the original but for $3 I'm gonna give it a shot.
HTC no longer sells them :S

I bought one of the 'Official' ones from Hong-Kong ebay and it's just as good as the original if it is indeed a fake. For a couple quid you can't lose

http://www.case-mate.eu.com/smartphone-cases/htc-cases/htc-desire-hd-cases.html

Contacted CaseMate (USA) a few days ago via Twitter and they said ETA for IS cases will be mid-April. Although Barely There cases are already being sold on eBay.

I have a bad impression about case-mate.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

This is pretty good news. I was going back and forth between a hard or silicone/rubber case and a full-body invisible shield (though they still haven't offered a hint as to whether or not one will be offered), but since the IS is actually quite reasonable in size I could go with a case-mate...

Here in the UK i recently brought the Casemate barely there from my local carphone warehouse and it seems to be, so far as i haven't actually dropped the phone yet, a good case. As the name suggests adds very little exta bulk to the phone.
Also it comes with a screen protector

The screen protector is already available and the rest of the cases are expected to be available for purchase in Europe in the middle/end April

I've had quite good experience with the Case-mate barely there cases, they provide the adequate protection with a range of colour choices also.
But at the same time I am deciding between several other cases as well, I definately won't be investing on more than one case though, for I don't see myself keeping the phone too much longer, around 6 months perhaps when the summer holiday comes and we may see a few more surprises.
PDair HTC Incredible S Leather Case
]HTC Hard Shell
They all have their own selling points, I have never really had to complain about both Case-Mate and PDair but they serve different purposes for me in someways, the Case Mate is alot more casual, and the PDair is mainly for work.
The Hard Shell shown by Mobilefun seems a reasonable choice but price is TBC, if it had other colours coming soon it would be great as well.

Thank you for the links. I'm just wondering : what is the difference between the "barely there" and the "safe skin" models?

Safe Skins are soft silicone and they cover all the back and outer edge on the front part of the phone.
Barely There covers are hard, with rubbery finish, that covers the back and the sides but not the upper and lower edge of the phone.
Correct me if I am wrong

I just bought a barely there case from this guy:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CASE-MATE-BAR..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item1e6249dccc
Ignore the picture as that is of the tough case, the barely there case doesn't cover the top or bottom edge of the phone. It is light, tough and worth having, and this eBay seller was very quick to dispatch too, would highly recommend. I will take some photos when I get home tonight.

It should protect the phone from minor falls, using it too atm XD
If you want something "safer", Case-Mate Safe Skin should be a good bet. It's cheaper and from the pictures, looks almost similar too

Needed case and screen protector in India
Hi, I'm from India. Just got my I-S and found that HTC ships without a pouch or screen protection. I realise that casemate and expansys are EU/UK based and have no delivery in India. I have used PDAir for my earlier phone. Can anyone guide me in finding a retailer in India? I am interested in the gel/TPE/silicone cases. Tks.

UK Bargain PDair Leather Case

I picked up a Streak in the recent sell off and am loving it - have upgraded to Streakdroid 2.3 (really easy with a bit of background reading even for someone coming to Android for the first time). I picked up the Otterbox commuter case but never really got on with it - I prefer leather flip cases so decided to look what was out there apart from the many derivations of the "PU leather" cases you can see on ebay.
Morpeth Mobiles are selling off their stock of PDair cases for the Streak at only £5 delivered (UK) rather than the usual £30+ that these seem to go for. I think the Tuff Luv case generally seems to get a better reception (and is a little cheaper at RRP) but I decided to try one of these for a fiver and am happy enough with it (its the flip style rather than the book style folio that I think PDair also do).
Anyway, if anyone wants to buy one you will have to google as I'm a new user and can't post outside links (before anyone asks, I have no relationship with Morpeth Mobiles whatsoever other than as a purchaser of this case). I don't know how many they have but they are still showing up at £5 this morning

No sell off of Dell Streaks in the UK, so i wonder about how genuine this post is, yes the cases are for sale for £5 and i ordered one, but, as i say, Streaks are still at a high price here in the UK

They did sell off the streaks.....
at the Dell Swarm site (at least twice!).
Other than than - thanks for making me feel welcome!

Welcome to the forums, you have been registered for 4 years, and posted 4 years later?
Nevermind, thanks for the heads up, i have bought one.

Not sure if it matters but in the interests of full disclosure, I had a Dell Axim PDA back in the day which I got rid of and then did not rediscover the forums until I got my streak.

Glad you can join us on the twilght of the Dell Streak. Shame the price was £199, its hardly the £75 they were selling them for in the states at the end of life. There again, Dell support is so crap, they would have to pay me to take a another piece of their kit on.
Its a great phone, but mine had a dead earpiece from new. Absolute rubbish, whatever happened to quality control.
You buy a nice shiny new phone, then they give you someone elses if it becomes faulty.

Review PDAir Flip Case
I ordered this case and it arrived today, so i will give it a quick review.
I have used a PDAir case before for my Sony-Ericsson P1i, but that time it was a aluminium case. The quality of this leather case is very nice, well stitched.
It has a magnetic catch that holds the flap securely closed, 3 pockets in the flap for credit cards, business cards or memory cards. There are cutouts for the PDMI port, power and camera buttons,
The top sides of the device are not protected so you have total access to volume buttons and headphone jack. The case fits tightly, i doubt you could fit the phone with a extended battery installed, might be possible but i doubt it. There are 5 holes punched in the back to allow sound out of the speaker and cut outs for the 3 capacitative buttons, microphone and screen, earpiece and front facing camera and sensor.
To use the main camera you have to pull the flap right back to allow it to be used.
There is no belt clip, so it will have to go in a pocket, or a bag.
Generally fits nice and keeps the phones slim profile, but apart from protecting the screen and back of the device, the sides are very exposed and personally i prefer my Otterbox Defender case, which although chunky provides my delicate streak allround protection apart from the screen, which is protected when in the holster if its put in with the screen facing inwards.
I have attached some photos for those considering this case
Overall, at £4.99 its a reasonable case but i will be sticking with my Otterbox.

The Streak can be bought from Morgan Computers for £199.95 sim free, as for the PDAir case it's great at a fiver (if it was in stock) but not worth the original £30~

Wish they still had these as looks nice but thanks for flagging it up for us maybe they'll get more
