i was wondering if anybody knows where i can get waterproof case for dell streak something like this would be great http://www.androidcentral.com/android-case-review-aquapac-weather-resistant-case
appreciate the help
aquapac do loads, so there should be one that fits it.
I had one of the very first aquapacs and used it for a couple of years, don't know how well it would work with a capacitive screen though.
Got one, bought it years ago for my n95 but it used toget lost as inside it as it was typo big. But guess what its a perfect size for the dell. Although a bit tight with the head phones. But the you wouldn't have head phones as the wire doesn't allow it to be watertight. Although you can get some with water proof head phones. Also capacitive screen works a treat.

yeah I bought my first for cycling LeJog, I did see that amazon one, was thinking it would work a treat inside my velomobile, rather than outside, as I'm not convinced it looks very waterproof..
got it
thanks for the help received it today its been raining so just tried it out whilst having a bath playing games try it the weekend my wife going to be having our baby in birthing pool so don't matter if i drop it taking pictures
Take a look here:
ThinkGeek Waterproof Cases
I don't have first hand experience with this.
Waterproof cases
Well i was looking for one, my brother has this case ordered from Thinkgeek, but its not reliable and he rechanged it. I got one from Chinabuye last month this waterproof cases, its cool and its quite protective as it was raining here last month. Reliable and good rate, worth for money.
Upgraded from a G1 and found that the Nexus S fit perfectly into the sleeve case that came with the G1. The wife was jealous so I found a place selling through Amazon that has them for about $5. I ordered 2 since mine is pretty worn.
Just some added protection, maybe overkill. It is all plastic I figure this can only help. I'm not a big fan of most of the over the phone cases.
got the amazon link?
cheers
Sure, I didn't know if we could link outside of this site.
http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-HTC-...EQJ2/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1293042901&sr=8-7
If the link gets removed just search for: HTC G1 case
I'm considering getting this, but before I order, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to please post a few pics of the device inside of the G1 pouch.
Thanks in advance!
Weird, I thought the G1 sleeve was specifically designed and engineered, by the great folks at HTC, to only work with the G1?
The G1 one is to big, I tried it. But if u hold it in ur hand, the phone can slide out.. I use my nexus one pouch. Its a tight squeeze, but is just perfect, for now.

My G1 can slide out of the G1 pouch as well. The G1 is definitely thicker, but their overall length is pretty close. I'm sure there is some risk of it coming out easier than the G1.
It works for me, but YMMV.
Im temporarily using the g1 pouch on my nexus s and it works great.
the Nexus One pouch works pretty well also. I am using that temporarily until i get my phone skin next week.

I hadn't touched my G1 case in years but it is a great fit for the Nexus S.

My links are broken because xda says as a "new user" I am not permitted to post outside links in my messages. That apparently includes images.
We got the new G1 cases yesterday and they are an even tighter fit because they have not been stretched out by a bulky G1.
The way I look at it, they were $5 each shipped. That's it...$5. Most of you just spent $530 on a phone but are worried about spending $5 on a sleeve.
It's not the end all be all, but it does the job well and like I think I mentioned before, I hate those protective cases attached to the unit.
I paid 580 bucks, so I'm sure I can afford the right sleeve n skin for my new phone. Not from my 3 year old phone...

I gave my N-1 to my wife and she has a case so I took the pouch. Great for just sliding in my pocket.

Anyone know where the Nexus One pouches can be found for a decent price?
So I just wanted to start a thread for myself and anyone else who may want to read it
Basically anyone who has an otterbox case for the evo shift or has seen/used it or whatever just leave your opinions/reviews whatever. I am thinking of buying one so just wondering
I don't have one for the Shift but I've used an Otterbox on other devices and would recommend it if you have the slightest fear of damaging your handset.
I believe the last one I used was a Commuter which completely encased the handset and seemed to be able to take a hit. The back was too smooth for me so I had a little trouble re-learning how to hold it and the thickness of the handset increased significantly but overall it felt safe. Worth the extra money.
I am using the otterbox commuter case on my shift right now. I like it a lot. The fit and finish seems like it is completely a part of the phone. Only two complaints are:
1. If I try to move an icon from one hone screen to another, the piece covering the screen makes it difficult to move it to the "edge" - not a big deal, you learn to adjust.
2. When opening the slider, I hear a click sound, sounding like the little tabs holding the upper piece on are catching as it moves. Again, kinda not picky.
All in all, I think it is a great case and makes me worry a lot less about dropping my device. I would definitely recommend it.

Awesome seems like ill want to pick it up. I recently cracked the screen on my shift and made a few scuff marks so that's what seriously turned me to getting the case.

Tip for putting on the included screen protector...patience and a clean work surface! I couldn't get it to work well at first, then I ended up dropping it on the carpet. I was ready to give up on it until my wife took it from me and got it to work. So...if you have the patience of an ADHD kid on meth like I do...lol. It was my first screen protector too so. Anyways have fun!
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
definitely worth getting. i have the commuter series otterbox and it makes my phone look and feel like a beast. only thing that annoys me sometimes is the dust/lint that gets stuck to the rubber on the case, but i just blow it off.

I haven't had a problem opening the slider at all.
I have one and love it! Top of the line case, looks good feels good and protects good! I would totally recommend it to anyone with a Shift!..
I use it on my shift, and have had them on two other phones. Like everyone else said, its a great case, and really does look like a part of the phone.

I'm now on my second otterbox after a free factory replacement, my only nit pics are the usb port cover doesn't stay closed, and it clicks everytime I open it, feels like one of the clips is catching....

Just got the Commuter series and I'm a fan so far. Makes the phone feel more substantial and gives a better grip. The only issue was with the headphone and USB port covers, which didn't stay down. I just removed them, but DON'T Rip them off, it'll tear the rubber casing. Found that out on the USB port one so I cut the headphone one off. Either way makes the rubber a little loose around the port but not hugely annoying unless you're a perfectionist(which I can be). I'll just apply a little glue and seat it on the plastic frame.

That's great. The retail price from otterbox.com is $35 so thats a great buy. There's just something about ebay that I can't trust lol. That's me and my paranoia tho.

I guess that's not technically a bad thing if the fronts hard to get off.
I just hope the back isn't the same when I get mine.
Is it?

Nope I can confirm that, being really careful you can take the back without any problem..
I Think that the front parts being hard to take off it's a good thing.
Had mine for 2 or 3 months now
Bought it from Amazon for like $25 when they finally came available for the shift and had to wait a month before I got it in hand.
I'm not as impressed as i would be with the protection if it was a defender case. I had the black case with fake carbon fiber and belt clip before. The otterbox commuter is better then that one, by how much I'm not sure.
I dropped my phone about a month ago. I don't know if it just hit the right place of the case, and the back case came flying off the phone, the side clips where busted off, so the back case would not stay on any more.
I decided to call up otterbox and see if it was under warr. and if they would replace it. AMAZINGLY they said YES so they shipped me a new one for free i didn't even have to pay shipping. NICE. It was quick and easy I thought that was soooo cool. Because of that i will continue to buy otterbox, and recommend them to others.
In future i hope to buy defender cases (better protection) which means no more slider phones which i think i am ready for now that touch screens are so much better. All my old phones have been sliders with full keyboards from back in the day with my old HTC t-mobile MDA, which made me find this site.
Thats my 2 cents.
Can anyone tell me what the best case would be for my HD2, besides an otterbox?
I have the US version of the phone which is longer than the European..
And I have searched everywhere, and I am pretty sure that I read that they stopped making otterboxes for these because everywhere is sold out (I can't even find any on Ebay or Amazon!).
I had my phone for a week and it fell out of my pocket onto my driveway and the screen cracked like a spider web.. So now I have to spend about $150 to get the screen replaced, and I am not willing to do so unless I can get a secure case for it..
Any suggestions?

This should probably be in the 'HD2 Accessories' section, you'll get more info there I guess. I personally use the leather HTC pouch which came free with my phone, and it works extremely well! I've had the phone for a year and not a single scratch on it even though it's constantly in contact with my keys and stuff.
Piel Frama (http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-hd-2-imagnum-tan-cases.htm)
I think it's the best!
Sorry, I didn't realize that there was a forum for HD2 accessories...
But those leather cases are more like pouches, right? As in, you still have to pull the phone out to use it, and its more of just a carrying case?
I am looking for something like an OtterBox, with maximum protection and is always on the phone

Oh right, yeah they are but I personally don't find it much trouble. I think there may be one which is more like the otterbox one as well (by HTC) so try it, the leather gives a nice high quality feeling
The Otterbox Defender is a good case, as long as you don't need to get the phone in and out of the case.
It is two pieces, a silicone rubber case, then a hard plastic shell. If you need to change the battery or reboot the phone by pulling the battery, there is a good chance the plastic shell will split or break.
I've been through two of those cases. The first one Otterbox customer service (very nice FWIW) sent me a new one under warranty. After the second one cracked I just didn't bother. Even cracked it protects the phone pretty well.
There just aren't that many cases for the HD2 since every other day HTC comes out with a new phone.

I prefer to take the phone out for use. I've had the HD2 since release and always go back to the original case as supplied with the HD2:

I have a otterbox defender for tmo US HD2 in like-new condition I rarely use & would be open to selling or trading for the right offer. i didn't realize how rare these are now... I've checked ebay several times over the last couple months trying to see what they sell for, but i haven't seen a single one up there!
Id love to trade for a 64gb sandisk microsdxc if anyone would be willing... Id ofcourse put in something else or cash on top of the case to make it fair. any interest, pm me an offer.

I've come across them on ebay every once in awhile but your right, they can be very hard to find even on other websites as well. And then most of the times when you do find them its for the international model which i believe wont fit the US version. I've had some luck with other ebay countries that ship to the US but thats really hit and miss.
A new 64gb sandisk microsdxc will set you back around $95-$135 and a new otterbox would cost around $40-$50 and thats if you can even find it which would be difficult to say the less. I read some reviews of people who didn't like theirs but most seem quite happy with it. Considering that they are hard to find his offer isn't really to high priced especially considering he offered to add money towards the trade. About two months ago I seen a used one go for like $40 on ebay if i remember correctly but then again one sold for only $13 w/ free shipping a couple weeks ago. You can see that here. Worth way more then $13 though, who ever got a steal on that.
Considering our phone has Cornings Gorilla Glass I think there is really no need to go all out. Get a nice full body screen protector such as clear-coat found here and put it in a fairly nice...but not break your bank account nice case. Something around $10 should do. Clear-coat normally has sales/coupons going on so if you do go that route try to look one up. I've had mine in a cheap $5 case since i bought it just after they came out and have even dropped it a few times, luckily my phone still looks like its in mint condition.
Yeah, I didn't mean that I'd only trade it for a 64gb microSD... if anyone wants to make any offer, I'd consider it. I already have a Noreve leather case that I use for my HD2, and I've rarely used the otterbox case, so I figure there's no reason for me to hang on to it.

So my little brother is getting an N7 for Xmas after I flipped out on him for wanting an iPod touch. Being a 13 year old I bought him a siedio active case with the multipurpose cover. I then mentioned to my mother that is like one as well for Xmas. Well I did a little snooping a day found she got me one, but not with the cover. I just looked at the website and couldn't find an option for just the kickstand. I really don't want to sound I grateful upon receiving it and say she bought the wrong thing so if you guys could point me in the right direction I would be really appreciative.
