Forgive me if this is against forum policy, but I'm looking for an HTC incredible case for my wife's phone. I figured someone here might have one they bought and don't like as much as another or something like that.
If you have one, I may be willing to buy it or at least pay for shipping + a little beer money.
Just reply if you have something with the make/model of case.
Thanks.
I don't have anything for you, but just wanted to point out that you can get cases for pretty cheap on amazon.
If you're looking for the silicone type, here's a black one for $1.99+free shipping and here's a pink one for $0.94 + $2.97 shipping, but there's plenty more.
If you're looking for one of those 2-piece shell-type cases, I think this white one looks kinda nice with the contrast to the black phone, $3.25 + Free Shipping.
You can get one of the "official" Verizon ones for pretty cheap too: $4.27 (prime shipping).
So yea, Amazon has a lot of inexpensive options. This is just a small subset.
I do, if you don't find what you're looking for on amazon or whatever. I have one or two that I had bought, before I bought my otterbox, that I use. If you're interested then shoot me a pm, and I'll take a pic for ya or something. It's been laying in my desk drawer for a year and a half. You cover shipping and that's adequate.
I have 3 diffident types and would recommend the silicone. They make it hard to fumble the phone but if you do, even the glass will be well-protected. The lens cover is protected when you set the phone down and the buttons are easier to push than the other types. Also very easy to get off to change the battery. Batteries are also very cheap on Amazon and are slightly bigger.

As we all did, we paid high dollar price for this phone. I will pay a reasonable price to keep this high dollar electronic from harms way.
Please reply from experience. Also, if its not too much, please send a link so I can check it out and read reviews about it.
Thanks a again.
There's a whole section on kaiser accessories, and there are plenty of case reviews in there. Check it out:

Piel Frama case all the ways mate! they are class, expensive but of very high quality
I've been using Krusell cases for quite some time now. They continue to impress me with their quality. I picked this one up through Amazon for around $40...

The last one I had with my Wizard still appeared to be brand new when I sold the phone three years later.
perfect case
i just recently bought a case for my tilt from a verizon store. It is a horizontal case with a flap on top that closes with magnets. I think it is by far the nicest case i have seen thus far and the best part... it was only $20. The clip swivels on the back so you can have it horizontal or vertical on your belt. The verizon part number is suspchm2. It is a universal case made of black quality leather/pleather with white stitching. I love it.
My TPU-Case just arrived today! Check the video after the break!
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20&products_id=78
This is exactly as expected and what I was looking for - a one piece minimalistic case on the cheap that will protect my phone from basic wear and tear. I don't expect it to protect my phone from an extremely hard drop like an Otterbox will, but I am concerned about the Otterbox adding ugliness and size to the phone. The TPU barely adds any bulk to the phone, and I feel that it actually adds to the phone and makes it look nicer and feel better in the hand.
I got the high gloss black version, and while I would've preferred matte it is a very sharp looking case. Total fingerprint magnet though. The gloss back seems rather easy to scratch... if I push really hard I can probably scratch it with my fingernail but for $8 I could simply buy another one if I really wanted to. It took two weeks to get here, which is longer than average (international shipping US to Canada) but I won't complain because shipping was free.
There is a cutout for the power/lock button but the volume buttons are covered and you can't really feel the 'click' from pressing the volume rocker up or down... but it still is relatively easy to press. Perhaps the case needs to break in a bit.
Google around for a promo code to get 10% off, and after tax with free shipping it cost me a whopping $8.05 in total. It didn't come with a screen protector so I will have to find one on its own... but again at this price I'm not complaining.
All in all I'd recommend if you're looking for a very cheap and sexy looking minimalistic case. This won't protect like an Otterbox and will probably scratch over time, but is so inexpensive that you won't care.
Got a similar TPU case but it has a textured back and for only 2 USD on eBay
^^
I think it's just like mine. My friend send it from Canada and I got it before 2 days.

Same thing here.
IMHO it's even more beautiful than the gloss one.
Just bought one on ebay. 1.49$
yes,
seems to be nearly identically to the one I bought from dealextreme.
the difference is the cutout for the power button - PTU has, Dealextreme not (sometimes its a bit hard to press...)
I won a free TPU case on here at XDA = returning otterbox commuter. too bulky, and slippery.
TPu has a nice sleek feel, won't fall outta your hands, and barley adds any bulk unlike the Otterbox. only thing I hate is the power button is a bit hard to push so I use a widget on my homescreen that puts the phone to sleep with a push instead of using power button.
it's called " Lock Screen Widget" if anyone else has this problem and wants to check er out.
Nice! But don't sell in Vietnam
Wow might have to snag myself one of these! Good looking cases
@ThuongTin: I think dealextreme does ship worldwide
nice
nice not bad
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
I Can not decide what case to choose, SENA one, but it's to thin and I hate the leather pattern, or go for good ol' PDair,
they have than one http://www.pdair.com/index.php/eboo...google-nexus-7-vertical-pouch-type-black.html with multiple stitching color to chose from.
I asked them what the inner side part is made of, and they told me
"Thanks for your enquiry. ALL our Genuine PDair Leather Case is made of Premium Korea Cowhide leather and inner part is pvc. The inner part is a little hard to support the case but won’t get scratchiness on the phone."
Now PVC can also mean vinyl, maybe they mean it's hard to bend but soft to touch? anyway post your answers, still think to go with PDair as the shipping is free, SENA wat's 30$ to ship to Israel and it's ridiculously pricier, LOL not that I'm one to complain, as I ordered some acessories from EXPANSYS UK (extended battery w/cover, and desktop multimedia dock for my GNEX, but they was cheaper back then in comparison to eBay):silly:
If you want to pay $50 for a pouch you can buy for $5 then by all means do ok it's leather on the outside but it's damned thin leather. I've had a couple of PDair cases for phones and they are well enough made but vastly overpriced for what you get.
If you want to pay that kind of money for real leather, have a search of this forum. Someone posted a couple of months ago about some hand made stuff that was real quality.

Well to describe my problem, I want to use it with the dock, when it out, I will not say they overpriced, I use SGP Crumena for my Galaxy Nexus, that cost me 30$, and it worth the money, from all the crap I seen on eBay, there also MOFi soft pouches, but I only zip type, I want one like a sack with strap, and the big size sold on taobao or resellers, and I afraid to deal with them, SENA looks cheap with that ugly pattern and 30$ for shipping? the PDair exist many years so I know what I pay for, what else can you recommend?
^^ etsy.com
Thousands of quality, handmade sleeves ranging from cheap 12$ cloth ones to superb leather ones. Take a look. Just about everything there is handmade by people who do this in their homes for a living.

Thanks, very creative stuff, but I want something from a brand like the SENA or PDair, they have another one;
http://www.pdair.com/index.php/eboo...-asus-google-nexus-7-business-type-black.html
Yeah I know the price is like 2 smartphone cases, but it will be used for good, I think I even maybe sell the SGP of my GNEX to make some profit,
and get a one from PDair to make a pair, they have same case for NOTE (II), so maybe they can make me a smaller one
but keep up with the comments, I just couldn't find any reviews of the tablet cases they sell.
It's a trap
Hey guys, since i have tried the original case as well as some 3rd party cases i was not happy about the results. My main concern was how thick and heavy the nexus 7 got after applying the original case or one of those "smart" cover fakes as well as that i wanted to still be able to feel that rubberized back.
So i went to a shop which sells all kind of cloths like leather, jeans, etc. I bought myself some leather and thread went home and took out my sewing maschine. sewing it to have a perfect fit takes about 10 - 15 minutes in total depending on skill level. I still have some leather remaining for a total of maybe another 3 cases - or i might just do another few for my mobile phone or some other devices. In fact, it'll be very cheap. for a total of 4 cases the leather is about 5 euro, and the thread will last for many cases and also just a few euro. It's very simple but it's still impressing.
I've added attachment to show the end result, as well as how it fits in tightly plus as a bonus inside that store you can see the choice of materials. So if someone is happy putting up 15 minutes work he can do it for himself.
Have fun!
Edit: This is like the first prototype, therefor on the first picture you can see 2 wholes for sticking in needles. I do not recommend using this method to find out the proper size.
That is a nice looking sleeve you made for yourself. I have no sewing talent myself so I wont be attempting it.
I thought the same way which is why I ended up buying a sleeve for myself off Amazon to protect it in transport. Sure it's no actual case on the tablet but I couldn't stand the bulk and this was much more pleasant looking.
All I have on it is a screen protector and a vinyl skin on the battery cover.
P.S An idea you could possibly include on your next iteration of it is a pocket for headphones...that is if you use any with it.

Hey, thanks for your reply. Yeah i am thinking about doing several cases for several devices / things. My headphones both have cases when bought already ( Bose QC15 and MIE2i ) but i think about doing some for mobile phones, maybe camera lenses, even business cards, I'll see. I just came from that shop again, they gave me some white leather to work with free of charge.
I guess anyone can do with manual labor as well but it will take more time obviously. Anyone else can ask for grandma's assistance
Here is another one, this time for the galaxy s3 lte... the cost of the bag are approximatly 0,10 cents. Picked up the white leather for free just because i talk a bit with the woman who's been working at that store yesterday which is enough for a few more bags, the thread is not expensive. I can just recommend... If i can do that, anyone can do. My craftmanship skills are quite low. There are really nice materials out there which could give you a unique case for your phone/tablet/device so go for it!
