Did you double post?
Check out the vaja leather case for the htc magic. My buddy has one for his iPhone and it is very slick... While I haven't personally seen the one for the magic, the pictures show that it is pretty much the same one as the iPhone. Awesome case...downside is that it is expensive. At least $75 for the basic.

YEA...PDair is a really great online shope, Their website list everything clearly.

I can't believe they are making it, I had one for my HTC One (M7) and LOVED it!!!

They have 5 colors, I just ordered the Blue one and hoping it ships sooner!
*MOD EDIT* LINKS REMOVED
Fantastic news, I also have one on my M7. Awesome case, saved my phone from many a bump
Looks good but how much will this add to the phone? The phone is already quite large

The M7 one wasn't very big
I'm torn between the Slate color (which I had on my HTC One) and the new Ice color. Which looks better with the Gun Metal color.
I went with the UAG Maverick (Clear) since you'd at least be able to see the awesome finish on the M8. However I do wish the UAG logo wasn't dead center as it wil likely cover the HTC logo on the back.

Ordered the clear one as well, thanks!
The white is currently in-stock & shipping from *MOD EDIT* LINK REMOVED if anyone wants that color!
Thanks for the Affiliate Links "tag=windroidguy-20"
Yep ordered mine from Urban Armor Gear on Thursday, no shipped confirmation yet Had it on the OG One and was a great case.
Always loved the UAG but it did add bulk to my M7. I may purchase one for my M8 but really liking the minimal, clear TPU case I just got. We'll see..

PROJECT FINISHED!
So after another full day of measurements and trial-n-error ... I finally got a finished product, well a few actually ... well a finished product with a few options lol.
Right now I'm rocking the Black skin on my Gear Gen.1 and it looks awesome! SO clean and sleek looking with just enough chrome to set it off with an expensive luxury look, but is now fully protected on all of its sensitive spots. The clasp protector was originally made because as a graphic designer, my wrist settled and was banged on a desk basically 8 hours a day, and that was my cure to keep my watch looking brand new. The full face idea came just for the option to change the color of my watch, the stainless steel looks great and all, but gets played out and sometimes just looks too much ... But I dealt with it, not really having any time to sit and work the schematics for a full face protector. Then it got to the point where I had to hang a towel over the hand railing of the treadmill because every once in a while I would accidently bang my watch off of it while doing my cardio at the gym, luckily the steel has held up well and I've always had one of my screen protectors on it, so it hasn't really been a big deal.
Now with a finished product in hand and on my wrist, I'm just kind of pissed I "back burnered" this project for so long! lol. As I stated before, I know everyone has kind of moved on to the new Gear 2 and the Gear 1 is kind of old news, But I still sell GG1 Screen & Clasp Protectors on a daily basis so I know there's still somewhat of a market for stuff like this. Regardless, I'll have my hands on a GG2 here soon to play around with and while doing so I will have a chance to get the measurements for this type of product for the new Gear 2 and possibly Gear Fit, neither have a speaker in the clasp, But I know the Gear 2 has a stainless steel clasp, and speaker or not, that thing is getting banged up ugly from daily use. So all the GG2 people, stay tuned because that project is just around the corner.
Since I originally dropped the GG1 Screen & Clasp Protectors at the end of last year I've seen a boom in people selling products like it on web-stores and places like eBay & Amazon, I'm not saying in anyway that I invented these, But when I made them, the Gear was fresh on the shelves and I couldn't find anything to protect the exposed/sensitive parts of my $300 investment, and once sold to the general public they really took off! and I thank the people here at XDA especially for being my "Beta Testers" in a way and hopefully the people who bought them here were completely satisfied! It was extremely shocking that something I made for fun/necessity turned into an actual marketable successful product and doing it literally as a one man team was a bit much at times, but awesome! ANYWAYS! the difference between what is currently being offered when it comes to full face protectors for the GG1 and what I was able to put together is, my skin covers the ENTIRE front of the gear, As far as I've seen on the net, they only cover the top and bottom portion of the Gears stainless steel face (If I am missing any out there by all means piss on my parade lol) mine are designed to cover the entire front for full protection as well as the option to change the look of the Gear all together. Pretty cool I think.
With all this being said, the only real challenge I faced upon finishing the design was getting the skin onto the Gear and on correctly, the material used for the skin is very flimsy and hard to maneuver, kind of like putting a screen protector on a phone, but worse! lol.
BUT! within a few minutes I had a solution, which was actually a perfect solution. Not only did it do the trick of being able to easily handle the material while putting the face protector on, it made it extremely easy to keep the skin perfectly straight and allow the installer to line everything up perfect for a perfect hassle-free installation (when done correctly) so I am pretty excited about it, and when these become available to the public (Very Soon!) that installation material will be sold with the protectors.
I've also decided to scratch selling the Clasp Protector by itself now that the Face Protector is done and they will be sold as a set, overall less confusing for the customer and myself when it comes to filling an order and just makes more sense. But now that I have a few color options available (more coming very soon!) I think I would be willing to mix and match colors/patterns with the Face & Clasp Protectors if anyone asked.
On that note as you will see in the pictures I currently have 4 color options available:
- BLACK (Jet-Black)
- PURPLE (Deeper Purple, Almost Plum)
- GRAY (Storm Cloud Gray, somewhat close to the gray color offered by Samsung on the Gear 1)
- GREEN (Darker, sort-of hunter Green)
COLORS/PATTERNS I PLAN TO HAVE VERY SOON:
The original Chrome/Steel color I offered with the GG1 Clasp Protectors which seamlessly matched the stainless on the GG1.
- Red
- Yellow
- Blue
- White
- Brown
- Orange
- Carbon Fiber
- Leopard/Zebra Print
And any other Miscellaneous colors/patterns I can get my hands on, just to offer a wide variety and the buyer the option to uniquely express themselves.
And now for the new pictures (Better detail and well-lit pictures to come):
SAME ORIGINAL CLASP PROTECTOR JUST MATCHED WITH FACE SKIN.
And just to show off a little bit of the design aspect of what goes into designing something like this:
Let me know what you think! I cant tell you how happy I am with the final product, it looks awesome in person, these pictures show a great representation, but don't do the final product justice compared to in person, the quality and fit make it look like theres no decal at all, looks like the watch came this way! Very happy!
And again, any and all input appreciated!
Thanks!

ORIGINAL POST:
Hey Guys, I know in my last post on the "Galaxy Gear Clasp Protector Thread" that I said I kind of gave up on further development for the Skin Protectors for the Gen. 1 Gear ... Well I kind of got a second wind on it today and actually sat down and got to work on it, and its a pretty big undertaking as expected, way more variables involved in the front of the Gear than on the clasp ... But I got pretty far on development today and got a few pictures of the first mock up.
They are in Black, That's the original color that I wanted to do all this in to give the watch more of a subtle/played-down look, in my opinion the way Samsung should have originally done it or at least offered the option instead of all the chrome, and I believe the Gear 2 Neo has the full black-out look.
Obviously once this is fully finished, the color and pattern options are endless. One problem I came across while putting this together was covering the side chrome of the watch face (See pictures) which isn't a huge issue to me, gives the watch a little bling and keeps a little bit of the luxury look, this my no be everyone's cup-o-tea, and I may try and play around with a side flap option, problem is, just like the clasp protectors, this can only be able to be achieved with fold cuts. And obviously the Clasp Protector will stay the same because I think I got the best result I can on those, and with any other color besides the original chrome I offered, you can see the Protector is present because of the cut outs and the unprotected chrome areas of the clasp.
Either way, the progress I've made today alone are pretty substantial in my opinion and think I'll have a solid product ready for the public by the weekend. I know the Gear 2 is out and has taken off in popularity, But I plan to stick with my Gen.1 until it dies or they release one that blows my mind, and I can only assume there are still people who feel the same, so hopefully all of this work wont be for nothing, but we'll see.
So without further ado, check the pics and let know what you think ... any and all input is appreciated! Is this something you would think about picking up? any aesthetic adds or changes you'd like to see? again any and all input helps.
Il buy one, looks pretty awesome if i might say so.

That looks clean!!! I would for sure buy 1 off of you!! Let us know when they available for purchase!!!

Hey guys, I since Christmas is coming up soon I wanted to add the most expensive (best, in most cases) items to my wish list. I am asking for your help for some accessories for my Desire 816.
If you're going to post can you please provide a link to an item that you're talking about (like either the main website for it or the specs of it.)
The items I'm looking for are: Charger, Case, Screen Protector, and a 64 GB microSD.
THANKS SO MUCH!
For charger I recommend you use this one. I have 4 and use them on all my devices. Amazon
I don't use a case, I use a carbon fiber skin, just to prevent my phone getting scratched because I like to preserve the beauty of it. And it helps a lot with that ugly plastic back. Look into it if you want but I won't force anything on you. Amazon
If you want the best screen protector, I'd recommend a tempered glass one, like THIS.
Buuut that's not the one I have. I use a still very high quality IQ Shield. It's still one of the best and has a lifetime replacement guarantee. Amazon
As far as Micro SD card, THIS is the standard, and best one. I use the same one, however I only use a 32gb one as that is adequite for me. Amazon
Hope I helped, and have a great Christmas!

Helpful as always, and I have the IQ Shield right now but it's really getting on my nerves because there are these little bumps under it so my OCD is kicking in and I'm about to throw my phone in the trash. I like the charger specs, but I was looking for like a very good quality wall charger (like the box, but still gonna get that cord it's beautiful) . I think I might get that tempered glass you recommended, too. Also thanks for the microSD. That skinomi thing looks interesting, too. I was contemplating between a case or screen protector because I didn't want both so I might just get that with the tempered glass. And I hope you have a great Christmas!
Cases
I found a website that has a hard case for the HTC Desire 816 with, literally, THOUSANDS of designs to choose from! I have not purchased or tried one yet so I can't speak to the quality of these but they look good and I am going to order at least one for now. You can also purchase many of the styles through Amazon.
Here is the link to the page on the website for the Desire 816:

Haha thanks for this. I didn't really want to make my phone pretty rather than sturdy but thanks for this. If I ever see one I like I might buy one. Thanks for finding this tho
Anyone know any place I can find one? I had them on my wish list on Amazon - now they are showing as not available , and they don't know if they will be available again.
I also went to Poetic's website - they aren't listed on the site and I've received no response to a message I sent them.
Would really like to get the clear case with the black accents !!! Would look awesome on this phone!
Any help is appreciated!
This is the third time they have delayed release, and they never inform anyone...you date just passes and you never get your case...but they sure do make sure that hold for the cost of the case hits your card immediately. They have terrible customer service.
I settled for a ringke fusion in smoke gray for mine after poetic and I had a heated back and forth, and I absolutely love it!!
