Anybody outhere has this one?
It seems nice and comfortable...

I ordered a couple of silicon cases but they are yet to arrive... I'll let you know.
Ok, got the Silicon Cases... First thing, it is a pretty thick silicon case (I have seen much thiner ones for other phones) and makes the phone quite a bit bigger when fitted. I think the slide requires the sides to be pretty thick...
that said, my old Wizard started to look pretty rough after a couple of years. I think I will stick with the case.
any chance of a few decent pics of it fitted to the dual

It seems that unfortunately there's no other manufacturer for this kind of product for Dual...
I don't think the aluminium one could be better..

And the leather one is horrible..
The wife has ditched the Silicon case (and my Touch Dual is still awaiting replacement - due to slider gap problem) but I might try and put it back on and get some photos.
Anyone tried one of these for either this or another device??

Wow...this is one of the best i've seen...
Maybe a little bit expensive...and not so esay to install...
Any other manufacturer of this kind of product?
I haven't seen it on ebay for Touch dual...
I have found a couple. Some only do iPod's...
This one does HTC Touch but no Dual yet (I have emailed them to ask if and when it would be avaialble).
http://www.bodyguardz.com
I thought someone out there may have used one of these on an ipod or other PDA and might offer an opinion before I purchased?
Actually... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333707&highlight=invisibleshield
Thank you very much CAM77 for providing these informations...
I'm actually waiting for the silicon case but actually don't think I'll get the invisible shield...I read quicky a few comments and was a little bit disappointed hearing that sometimes small parts are missing and corners are not covered...
has anyone seen anything like these availablke in the UK?
http://event.ruten.com.tw/htc20071108/
i have the invisible shield on my ipod and it is fantastic. does not degrade the touch wheel at all and protects the entire device. i will likely get it for my touch dual as well. it's worth every cent.
the touch doesnt have a glossy finish.. its more of a rubbery feel. will it not ruin this?

my guess is that it'll probably take away from the rubbery feel a bit. but it will protect the device really well. if you want to retain the rubbery feel, you can just get the screen protector for it.
Case makes the phone bigger thats for sure but i like it because helps me understand when the touch screen ends (helpfull for scrolling).

I remember to have read somewhere that it is a limited edition of a Touch Elf...don't think it is available for the dual...

Im looking at either getting the nice leather case, the official HTC one "Diamond Pouch PO S390" (seen in this thread here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403691) or this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-Touch-Dia...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262
Anyone got a crystal case for their Touch Diamond? If so whats it like?
Im looking to protect my Diamond as I know how easy to scratch and mark they are (its doing ok at the moment but id like to keep it protected and looking like new)
Thanks, any feedback would be appreciated
I got one yesterday ( for $15 CDN ==" since i didn't want to wait for shipping)
from what i've seen so far
Seems like a great case, it is a tight fit for the diamond, so there are some worries with regards to upgrading the battery in the future....
But aside from that, it does its job of protecting my diamond and the change in dimensiosn is barely noticeable to me.
Moderators Could you move this to Diamond Accessories please, sorry, thought I had posted it in there, but hadnt.
Thanks for the feedback, sounds positive, I want to get a leather case, but at the same time its nice if i can just use it rather than get it out of the leather case to use it.
Mmm, food for thought!
yse mods please move the thread ^^"
i was contemplating the leather case as well before...
the benefit to the hard case is that its as it doesn't make it more difficult to access the phone and you dont need to take it out of the case to do anything
the only pet peeve i have with my case is that the power button on the top left is now a bit harder to press due to the case
just my 2 cents
Most of the crystal cases i have come across are dust magnets...so that puts me off them. Ive ordered the pouch today from Expansys...the official one although i have to wait 3 days before they come into stock..
Had one of these plastic cases on a samsung phone - the case cracked after a few days Lets hope these are different
One reason why im staying off silicon/crystal cases is so that I could enjoy the flushed screen.
Strange.. U guys don't seem to find it a luxury to have a flushed screen. I love it as I don't need to finger-wrestle in order to tap the 'X' button...
MasK, thats a very good point! I know what you mean there, very frustrating.
Mmm, think im just gonna opt for the Leather Case. Think I would just get frustrated with the Crystal Case.
Thanks for your feedback and comments guys.
Slightly off topic...
But do you think somebody (HTC or after-market company) will produce a soft touch / matt finish rear cover for the Diamond? I mean, its an easily replaceable, small piece of plastic and would protect (or hide) fingerprints and make it less scratchy if its soft?
Just a though... if any external companies looking it at, I'll pay £2.99 for a rip off soft touch back cover on eBay from Hong Kong

OK then,
I was going to get a new housing for my sad looking Ameo. They come in the standard Ameo silver or a rather smart HTC black. I already have a silver case, but here is the question.
Do the black housings, wear, scratch, or paint rub away easy? I don't want to get one and find it looks crap after six months. They ain't cheap! before anyone else says it, I know it depends how you treat it. I'm on about normal wear and tear use. How does yours look now? are there any signs of the metal underneath showing?

Black Case On The "advantage"...
Hey Jay,
I have a HTC Advantage x7501, with the black case of course, and have been using it with "typical" every-day use now for about 6 months. I have never even seen one of the silver cased "Ameo" versions of the device in person, so my review is a bit "one-sided," if you will... Also, I have a friend with whom I work with that also owns the same model as I. With saying all that, and without having experienced the silver model, I would bet the silver model would hold up a bit better on the finish due to the fact that if the silver gets scratched, the metal beneath it looks much closer to the silver finish than the black. I have a couple small blemishes on mine, and I am very particular with my mobile devices, but after using day-by-day at work and home, it has managed to get marked up just a bit. The biggest problem is, if you get a scratch on it, the metal below sticks out "like a sore thumb!"
I definitely believe that the black finish is a bit more professional looking, where sometimes the silver finishes can make a device look cheap or make it stand out.
Anyways, to give you my honest account on TWO Advantage x7501 devices (black finish) after 6 or so months of daily use, it is overall good, and neither one shows any major signs of wearing finish. Also, we both use a case that the device "slides" tightly in and out of each time you use it (without the keyboard attatched), and the device really hasn't shown any real signs of wear on the sides where it rubs the case. However, if you do happen to mark it up in any way, you will definitely notice it. Again, I am very picky, so keep that in mind, but so you have a better idea of what I am saying, I attatched a couple of pics so you can see what it looks like when or if you do scratch or mark it.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
-Ryan
Also Note: Only one of the devices I wrote about is pictured, but are very similar in condition, and were both purchased slightly used.
X7501 Cosmetics...
I have had my X7501 for almost 10 months now and it only has one very tiny mark on the top right corner (you have to look hard to even see it).
Since I'm also very particular about my devices (I always keep them looking new) I just used a Sharpie (permanent marking pen) to "erase" the offending mark. This works great and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to touch-up black anodized aluminum like the Athena housing.
Wow! thanks for the reply Guys, Ryan that was one hell of a reply. Must have took you a while to do that and I appreciate it. toyfreak, the idea with the marker pen is a great one. I think on just that idea alone I will get black. Its harder to touch up silver! It looks better too.
Regards
Jay
Indeed is surprisingly hard coating, I carry mine in my pockets and can't say I'm careful with it, rather the opposite, I have it since it came out and there is only a little wear in one of the corners, hardly noticeable, where the scratches are more visible, is on the silver border next to the screen, not that it look bad or anything.
Black housing - Where?
I would like to know where you can buy a black housing for your Ameo, mine needs a new one as well!
And what about your keyboard, can you get a black one too?
/HM
Silver / AMEO
Hi guys,
Proud owner of a wonderful brick since 6 months in grey color I should say that if I new I would have choosen a different color.
The grey AMEO housing is far from being "time resistant"...
Since few weeks the "video camera" around the front cam as disappeared and the "Alert" will soon do the same.
I allways take good care of my stuf and I'am bit disapointed for a 1.000 bucks machine to see it !

Hi,
Just a quick update on the new housing. It's arrived, and I put it on. It looks great, so glad I got black. Thanks to those who took the trouble to answer this post so well.
If anyone needs a new housing for their device then let me know and I will let you know where to get them from. He claims to have a few left!

The X7501 does not have the internal or 2nd camera, the X7500 does. So I would have a big hole in my unit if I used that one. I don't know if the inside layout is any different but that's the only visible thing on the external end.
I need a new housing too.
Anychance you could PM me a link or contact for this.
Thanks in advance.

LMAO dude have you been drinking? The 7501 has 1 camera and the 7500 and the 7510 has 2. I own the 7501 which is also cheaper than the 7500. I suggest you google them and you'll see the difference.
tootallk is correct. 7501 has 1.

hi
you are talking about a extra case to protect the athena right?, the thread is about replacing the cover / housing of the athena itself, a step that becomes nesesary when you not use case like your nutshell .
anyhow (and to really come back to subject ) i have to replace my housing too and wonder, why nobody can simply post the web/email adress of a reseller here?. i searched alot now an only find companies in asia and prices 'far away from reality', so if someone know a good reseler please post here.
thanks mad

P.S if im in trouble "Madbird" made me do it
How good would it be to have a Carbon Fibre back?
Any one seen any or know a someone who can make them?
I think they will be a killer sale...
What other materials would make a decent cover?
I'd like to have it...but I look for it and no success...
The near I found is a custom carbon fiber adesive on decalgirl.com
Gah, I came in here thinking that someone had found one! I hate it when people don't put question marks at the end of their subjects!

Yeah, I got quite excited aswell :-(
Real carbon fiber may not be a good choice for backcover: it is partially conductive, so will interfer with all radio functions (GSM/3G, wifi, GPS, blutooth). Not as bad as aluminum backcover, but it will not be as transparent as original plastic one....
sorry handy and helter...i changed the topic it to help out..
yeah it would be good to see one...i have seen cases made for ipods, but meh, no love for the HTC boys...
bloody iyuppies...
Hiya,
Having bent my headphone port cover when I dropped the phone, I just ordered a replacement from Rounded.
My question is pretty simple - how do I go about fitting it?
Cheers for any help or suggestions!

Wait intill it turns up and it might come with fitting instructions
Where did you find them ? I bent the side of my phone a little ( honestly, it's almost invisible, but I know it's there and... you know the rest ) when i dropped it, been thinking about replacing it.
I'm afraid I can't post links, but a UK company called Rounded is selling them.
