The HD2 Sena Cases Are Finally Out!...

http://www.senacases.com/htc-cases/
Ordered mine already.

Isn't that basically a super-classy version of the pouch that comes in the box?

Yeas, but it is 'supper-classy' .
Better quality leather, with no outside seam - so fits really well without extra bulk.

Tooo each there own, tho i wouldnt shell out any money for just a pouch like that, im happy with the one i got

nice but........
........a bit too expensive. ill be sticking to the stock case.........

thats nice and all but i think the stock case does a fine job at scratches

i bought a white hibrid case from ebay just to try it....and guess what...dude is really nice....and was only 4 pounds. screen protector+hibrid case=powerfull shield.i love it

Ordered Black.
Will post photos when received.

Why waste money on a pouch case when the one that is supplied with the Leo is more than good enough?

Why do you need to decide for other people that the supplied case is "more than good enough"? Please let people judge for themself. If you don't see the point of something, please be quiet, no need to post your opinion in that case. Thx,bye.

I'm not deciding anything for anyone, if people wish to spend good money on another version of what they already own they're perfectly welcome. But this is a forum and posting opinion's is what they're about. I'm genuinely curious as to why someone would buy this.
I hope this helps but feel free to ask for an elaboration.

Do you really not understand the reason that people want a good quality leather pouch instead of a cheap looking fake leather pouche? I can't believe it! You have to be joking me!
Why do people buy any kind of luxury at all? Did you every think of that? Why do people buy a vase of 5000 euro when a vase of 2 euro functions the same: you can put flowers inside. Let me tell you something about life: People don't buy only for the reason that something is practical: people buy by emotion.

Bad example, I couldn't think of any reason to buy a vase full stop, never mind an expensive one.
As for the emotion side of things, I'm well aware of that. I can't see how that applies to a phone cover but each to their own.

The lesson for today : It applies on everything that people buy that has to do with luxury.
That's what I tried to explain and that is the reason that I took a extreme example of the €5.000 vase
But to be frank, emotion applies maybe even more then average when it comes to leather accessories. One of the biggest luxury icons at this moment is Louis Vuitton. They also produce leather accessories. Louis Vuitton made a revenue of almost €2.000.000.000 last year. I hope you get the point now.

My pda/pocket pc/smartphone has been my most used device and is one of few things I have always had on me for the past 8 years. Whatever device I have at the time holds a high value to me, so I have always spent the extra money for a nice leather case. It's kind of a fashion accessory along with protection for my most important device. I usually spend $50-$100 for a custom made Vaja, Noreve, or PielFrama case. It's the same as buying nice shoes or clothes... it's something that I wear, as it's usually attacked with a belt clip. Smartphones are the modern day pda and they hold a lot of value to people. People practically have their lives organized and stored on these devices. It's an accessory they always have on them, like shoes, clothes, jewelry, handbags, etc.

wow !!!, next you lot will be argueing over the price of leather handbags. as for the op's new case, too posh for me, i like the (free) cheap looking stock case.....

LV should produce nice pouches for our HD2s! lol
tbh, this Sena case really looks nice!

Incipio are making cases

Hi Folks,
I emailed Incipio last week to see if they intended making covers for the N7 like they do for the Ipad and they emailed me back last night to say they are releasing a range of products but no details are available yet, but to keep an eye on their website and there should be info there soon. Would really like a Incipio feather case for my 7 along with a smart cover..
Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have more info
Cheers,
Mick

Hope they make the legend case! Its the best case I've seen so far

These cases are amazing. I've Put some cash aside for when these are released. Even the international shipping seems reasonable. I'm surprised there isn't more mention of these on the forum rather than all the cheap plether bulky rubbish everyone seems to like! No accounting for taste!

Any updates on this?

I got this response from them yesterday. I did ask about which specific cases might be available but no details yet.

Thank you for your follow up email. We do have plans to be making cases for the Nexus 7, however they’re currently in development so we do not currently have an estimated release date for the cases. I apologize for any inconveniences, however if you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Kind Regards,

Exactly. Google is selling tons of these things and it's been over a month now. I want to give my money to anyone that comes out with a "tank" case but no one is stepping up to the plate.

Maybe it's because lots of friggin people want to friggin buy them?
...or maybe it's because one size fits all and so it's easier to get one to market early.
No company can set up, tool up and manufacture quality products at the drop of a hat never mind them wanting to make sure there's going to be a sustainable market for it.
I realise that moaning is one of the US national pastimes but these forums are international and believe me it gets very old very quickly having to trawl past all these whinging posts to try and find the good stuff.
/nuff said.

sweet looking forward to getting one

Oh please. I'm not one of the complainers on this board and my post was not whining. These tablets have been selling like hot cakes and it's been out for long enough where someone should be making a hard case by now.

i agree with this. i also believe google announced the tablet and released it 2-3 weeks later and didn't work with anyone on accessories. perhaps it was to generate sales of their case, but the consumer got screwed. i'm not a fan of the asus case. from day one i wanted a leather case and over a month later, i'm still limited in my choices becasue companies are still working on their cases. i emailed marware last week and they still said 4-6 weeks.

OMG can this come any sooner?? :crying:

$30 for a sleeve? Are you guys seriously melting over this?
Talk about low standards.
Incipio makes decent cases, but they're always way overpriced. I got the N7 because of its value, and this is going to carry over with my accessories for it. If I wanted to overspend, I would have gotten an iPad.

Another Bookcover Case

This is on Kickstarter, but they are supposedly going to be ready to ship N7 cases in October. $40 each.

Wow. These look great.

It's a novel idea *buh duh chaaaa* but it looks like the inside is made from plastic? It's about the same price as the Portenzo/Treegloo cases without the options too.

Rubberized plastic, it looks like. Might be a bit more durable than wood.

I've been on that kickstarter page since launch but last communication with them, I asked about smart covers. They said they wanted to keep the case simple as possible and not include it.
Other than that, I do agree, they resemble the treegloo/portenzo/dodo/reauthored cases, just without a lot of customization.

Portenzo case in the works

This may already be known, and but I emailed Portenzo to ask about book cases for the N10. A CSR got back to me shortly and informed me that they were working with the device now and hoped to have a product ready soon.
Personally I'm very excited about this since I still love the Portenzo case on my N7.

My friend is getting the nexus 7 and he asked me what case he should get. I immediately told him to get a Portenzo case. They have great build quality and materials. I've actually been holding off getting a case for my N10 to see if and when Portenzo was releasing one. I'm stoked

I've got the Hardback for my N7 in black with red trim. It's a nice slim case thanks to the nifty mounting solution, doesn't add a lot of bulk. Does the job of protecting the screen when travelling, comes right out when not, and isn't unpleasant to use in the hands with the case on.
Quality wise, it's a whole lot better than that "vegan leather" or TPU crap you find on Ebay/Amazon for $10.
Not a big fan of the more expensive BookCase style units due to the extra bulk, but a co-worker has one for his iPad, with the Intellistand option, and it's a clever system.

Yeaaaah!
This case is exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks for the heads up!

Personally I stopped following the multi-page case thread, it's just constant re-posting of Amazon links to the same 2 or 3 variations of cheap Chinese stinky fake leather cases they've been churning out for the last few years.

No pics available, but yet some know it all posted a link to the pics???
If you could comprehend and READ,you would know that he mentioned another case as well. You only assumed I was asking for nexus 10 pics.my response is what assumptions get you.because then you would know the expected pic would be of the nexus 7 one,since common sense says he's interested in one for nexus 10 because of the one already out for the 7.
But if you don't have common sense,then I apologize for my reply.that wouldn't be fair

Aside from Casemate, any other Tough Case in US for our Xperia Z?

Title pretty much says it all, I know our phones are pretty durable, but I am not going to try and scratch it up anytime soon, the only "tough/rugged" case I found so far in the US is the casemate one, any other suggestions folks? and yes I have poured over this whole area reading it over.

I have taken a look through the 2nd one before, thanks, the first set looks too flimsy for my roughness, I guess I'm used to the oversized otterbox's etc

if you're used to very hard wearing cases then atm no.the case mate seems the only proven rugged case.
apparently otterbox are working on a case bit who knows when that might come out.
