Anyone know if shield skins, unique skins, BSE, phantom skins or any of the sort will be releasing a full phone cover for this?
i've just bought a leather sleeve from http://www.boxwave.com/accessories/htc-magic-cases_3484.htm
They also have some interesting hard rubber coated shell cases as well as silicone ones.
I bought a cheap silicone skin from ebay as a stopgap until the leather one arrives, but it's not a very good fit and is very uncomfortable to hold.
I have a silicone one I picked up off of Amazon for about £3, which is OK but a bit of a lose fit and even though it was specifically for the HTC Magic it doesn't line up or allow for the buttons correctly.
I am VERY interested in the hard rubber shells on that site but I noticed it was in $ so guess it a UAS site.
What's the postage like on the case you ordered mate and any idea if you will have any customs charge to pay? You'll have to let use know when it arrives.

Has any of you used invisible shield?. I am looking for a good screen protector, but I do not know if this one is a good one.
I would like to know if it works fine and let your finger move slowly
I am also looking for information about boxwave screen protectors.
Please share you screen protector experiences

i catn find it in that list.... but it looks promising. how on earth do you fit it to the curves? it looks like shrink wrap.
i can confirm all of the silicone ones button pattern is wrong, i dont know whcih numpty designed these but he got it titalloy wrong. The silicon case fits perfectly, shame about the crap button location which makes it hard to use.
ive used zagg invisible shield for my g1 iphone and touch and they were all great..it made the phone brand new and made this inch long scratch on my the screen on my iphone completely invisible i forgot it was there..now im waiting for the magic...the black google ion edition scratches easily

Further more the thickness of the silicone body give also some problems when you have to use the border of the screen... like when you have to press the 'P' key of the qwerty keyboard, for example, or when you want to move a widget from one "virtual desktop" to another... tested by my own

I also ordered this cover two days ago. I'll post here any consideration... but i live in Italy and it will (most likely) take over 15 days to arrive
i found the zagg to not slide as well as others on my G1- phantomskin and shield skin best (tested shield skin on mine and the others on friends')...

Ops... sorry for misunderstanding... To protect my screen I use a protector found on Amazon that really enhance the finger sliding (i don't remember the brand but it got a colorful parrot on the "box"). It's bubblefree and easy to apply. The sticky is good for phone protection so that you can get more grip when keeping the phone in your hands.

Damn expensive for a thin piece of plastic. I'll stick to the leathersleave that came with the phone Am i the onlyone that got this leathersleave? It was in the box. Mine is unbranded from HTC.

I think you're note the only one Me too got this leather (?) pouch but while it's good for using the pone... like a phone (or a PSP)... it's really bulky when you use the HTC Magic for work. Furthermore it makes difficult to use the phone when you have only one hand free. So which alternatives? I bought a silicone body but its thikness bother the touch on the touchescreen borders (For example: to press the P letter on the Virtual Keyboard while in portrait is really tricky).
Ultimately the ZAGG "piece of plastic" is the only that gives you e really good protection and en extreme usability... it appears there are no good alternatives.
Peace.
does the Invisible shield for HTC Magic T-mobile G2 fit the vodafone magic?? Got an email from zagg that they wanted an vodafone cell to creat shields for. So that confused me, have anyone tested?
I think the shape of the htc magic differs only in color... or at least i hope so
but they differ in weigth atleast in specs....
They will be coming out with the Otterbox for the HTC HD2 (US) version very soon
otterbox.com/htc-cases/htc-hd2-cases/htc-hd2-commuter-series-case-u.s./
So far the only color available will be black.
That's just the color I want!
that case looks good man!!!! looks way better than the iphone otterbox... its huge and bulky and doesnt slip in and out of the pocket easily
grea case....i wish it came with a holster tho
It looks cool, but are the corners are left unprotected?
nice topic, i got it

no, there is a gel skin that goes on the phone first and then the hard case goes on over that. its a really good case, I just got one for my Nexus One. at first i was turned off by the large otterbox logo but I dont mind it so much anymore
I love the otterbox logo. I just got the International one for my T-Mobile HD2 and it fits it perfectly, as if it were made for it. Honestly I don't think their is a difference between the two cases.

Could you throw up some pics? Por favor
Oh course. The only problem, is the screen protector they provide doesn't cover the whole screen, only to about half way through the HTC logo so try and use your own screen protector.

I think there is a slight height difference between the US hd2 and the Euro HT2. from what I have read, the US HD2 is a just a tiny bit taller than the Euro one (hence the slight lack of full coverage of the screen protector) I'll be holding out till the US version becomes available, that way there will be no mistaking on the fit Now if they can just make it water resistant/proof lol
Almost makes we feel bad for just buying an extended battery. Oh well.
I'm so happy about this. That case looks bad ass.
I'm so ready to get this case! I'm tempted to give in and buy the Intl version and just use my existing screen protector. Anyone heard any leaks on when this is supposed to drop?
can now pre order shipping mid july
http://cgi.ebay.com/OtterBox-HTC-HD2-U-S-Commuter-Case-/250650000016
Damn...mid July..!!!!
I heard some one say the int. commuter case will fit the us version, but i have not tried so dont quote me!

Are you sure it's the US version, and not the version for the original euro/UK HD2? The US version is not even available on the otterbox website yet, so I doubt it would be on ebay.
Here all Case Mate for our Incredible S :
HTC Incredible S Barely There Case Black & Silver --> £14.99 ~ 17€
HTC Incredible S Tough Case Black --> £24.99 ~ 28.50€
HTC Incredible S Safe Skin Case Black --> £7.99 ~ 9€
HTC Incredible S Gelli Case Clear --> £12.99 ~ 15€
No screen & release date available for now. But you can check the DHD Cases.
Same Design
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.

Really want a case for my phone, but I'll wait for your pictures first. I wanna see how much of the top and bottom isn't covered haha
Sorry I forgot I said I'd do that, give me 5 minutes

Got one too.. It's nice and indeed looks good.. just wondering how protective it really is (i.e. in case of a fall.. which I really don't want to test..)

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.

I used eBay, the prices were good and the product was retail packaging so if they ship to India I would recommend them, link is a few posts up.
I wanted to replace the battery door on my Nexus S 4G with a more textured one. I came across this, which is the battery door for the white Nexus S (i9020). Would it also be able to fit on the i9023?
I'm getting tired of using a case, but if I'm not using one, I tend to drop the phone a lot cause there's no grip with the glossy back...
As I tried out the white cover for the Nexus S 9023, I have to say the white (9020) doesn't fit for it. Near the USB connector there is a small (2 millimeters) space, which is, in my opinion, not normal.
If you are interested I can share the pictures (back) with you and you can see how it looks like on the 9023.
Kind regards,
me
Please do share how it looks like, im also interesting in buying the white one, i got tired of black glossy one.
Hy, how about putting a high quality sticker on the cover? This is how my collection of battery covers for i9023 looks. I have two covers with Zagg stickers, and they improve grip and also look cool They also have a 50% sale that ends today

Not trying to hijack your thread here, but are others here sure that a cover for i9023 will not fit an i9020?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You can always ask the seller if the back fits a I9023. I came across that eBay back cover a few moments ago then found the same one in this thread, i was wondering the same question, if it will fit - the i9023 is thicker
I have purchased screen protectors from eBay for my I9023 which were made for the i9020 and it was to small for my i9023, not by a lot. So I think they might be two different sized phones.

This thread might help with the phone sizes.
i waited so long for it to get here but it was worthwhile !
best case i came across for nexus 7 , one more thing that make it worth is the screen saver, it very high quality !
this is my fist unboxing for you, hope youi like it
I'm not a big fan of the cases that cover the screen. Others I've seen are bulky. This seems like the perfect fit for me. It's barely noticeable and adds an extra line of defense, except for the screen. I just don't like having my screen covered by anything, not even screen protectors.
Thanks for this.
Good unboxing vid! I have a kickstand case from nillkin for my Sensation and is a quality product. I see that the micro USB has good clearing so that you can use different USB Cords if needed.
looks googd.
debating this or a folio type case.

I noticed it really is a lot like the S line case many sell. My question is this case totally smooth? The matte color area on the S line is textured which is nice but the seam runs along the edges making this slightly uncomfortable to hold for a long period of time. I can't go naked with this tablet but it's much more fatiguing with the case on. I think if the case were totally smooth it would be more comfortable. The 7 inch form factor for me is really pushing the limit for one handed use, the slight increase in bulk even from the tpu case pushes it that much further for me. I'm 6'3 but I have average length fingers. If I had big bear mitts maybe this wouldn't matter. Just curious.

Hey I just ordered one!!
I've been looking for a decent gel case for ages. The generic S and X cases looked really cheap and nasty.
I hope its a really tight fit. Never heard of Nillkin but from your vid and the pictures it looks real quality.
Now I just have to be patient and wait for it to ship from China to the UK

The image a lot of sellers were using for the S and X cases were badly done concept art not the actual case, the reality is very different they are actually very nice well made cases.
I got a clear "iTALKonline S-Line" TPU case and its excellent quality it actually looked tighter to fit than this one, I'm also in the UK got mine from Amazon £3.49 free delivery came the next day.

I bought mine from tablet.world on Ebay for $12.70 shipped. It looks like they do ship workwide too.
Just do an eBay search for Nillkin Nexus 7.
Do these Nillkin cases fit better than the S line cases? I have an S line and it just isn't snug enough. The sides tend to flex away from the device way too easily.
Thank you for effort in making this video. I only would like to suggest next time when you do videos, please turn your camera in panoramic view. In youtube, the black space on the sides occupied more room than your actual video, which is more important. Just a tip!
Anyhow, thanks again!
