Aluminum Metal Case

I received yesterday my protection for Leo. I share with you the results of this:

Thanks for sharing; however you would have been better off posting in the Cases thread where we all go to see what's happening in the world of cases.

Agree with above poster, can a mod fix this?
Nice case! ive also ordered 1 last week at PDAir, the 1 without a screen, so easy acces, but fewer protection. I am hoping its more solid so i can put it in my back pocket without getting a red face everytime i realize i accidently put it there...
When did you order it and did it took long (i am eager to get mine, but now hope is gone till monday or tuesday...)

I disagree.
The "Cases" thread is too long and too complicated for discussing any one specific case.
Anyway I ordered mine just a moment ago and would very much like to hear how quick was the shipment, how snug is the fit and how reassuring the neoprene feels
It's a shame they opted for a plastic screen protector instead of either a window-less aluminum door or a transparent cover that lets you work with the touchscreen.

mohasea,
How thick is the plastic cover over the screen?
Does the plastic cover flex?
Do you think the plastic cover would prevent the screen being cracked if dropped screen down on ummm concrete?

I totally agree, wish they had a solid aluminum front door instead of the window cut-out covered in plastic or the other option they have of no plastic window cut-out. I would order one now,even not having my Leo yet, just because the front door was solid aluminum.
I am going to contact PDair and see if they would leave a few front doors out of the cnc cutter and have a full cover aluminum
Would you like one too, Duperman ?
Thank you,
Monnie

I have ordered an open screen case despite it may not fully protect the screen. HD2 has a glass screen and it is hard enough against scratch as what has been in iphone.

Would you like one too, Duperman?

Absolutely

Mine, the one without screen plastic, is supposed to arrive between now and Jan 27th next year...(sometime)
take care

Anyone got theirs yet?
Would love to see some detailed photos and a review of the case pros/cons
Thank you,
Monnie

I'm debating whether to go with their leather flip case or this aluminum case...

I got this case and immediatly wished there was no plastic screen on the front door. So, I held it over some boiling water for about 2 mins and and then used my thumb nail (not kidding it was easy) to pry the plastic from the metal. The whole lot peeled off easily, i replaced the foam into the case and BAM perfect case. (be careful not to rip the foam, but if you do it will still stick back. also the foam stretched out a bit but pushed back into shape no problem. TIP: Work from the front side of the case, wedge your nail into the seem and loosen it all the way around. If it starts to get tough again, hold it over steam for a while longer.
Also.. when the plastic was still inplace and the case door was closed, there would be random screen presses and that was not cool, however now that the plastic is out, i can leave the door closed, press when I want too, AND there is no random case presses
I know this sounds like a poor fix, but it worked awesome and it looks like it was SUPPOSED to come this way.
Now all i need is for my zag shield (front only) to show up and im perfectly protected (minus water damage dammit)
awesome case guys im not kidding. you dont have to put the nubbin on in the back either so it doesnt add much bulk to teh phone. good luck yo.

Got mine too and I use the black open faced aluminum for local use and insert the whole unit;
aluminum case and all into the Maxpedition "Rat" wallet for carrying on belts etc.... http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/...&idcategory=11
Like it alot....
FWIW

well, do not kill me if I say so .. but it is ugly as hell.
I do not say that it does not protect the phone, or the the finishing it's not ok .. but from a slim phone with a huge screen, it looks like a bullet proof brick with a screen.
The whole idea of an elegant smartphone it's gone.
Small question: what do you hate about the original leather case?
It is elegant, slim easy to use and protect the phone in normal use conditions or small accidents.

Capdase Alumor Metal Case
Bought this silicon w/ aluminium backcover case by CAPDASE in Hong Kong, adding a more "solid" feel over the pure silicon case. It comes with a CAPDASE screen protector as well.
http://www.mobimega.com/capdase-alumor-metal-case-htc-hd2.html
Beware that the silicon case may not glue well to the aluminum backcover (I think it's the factory problem) which may leave a small gap between them when you put the phone in. I have to apply some glue to fix that myself. Apart from the case is nice and not too costly.

Hi,
I am seriously thinking about ordering one for my Desire (A8181).
But what I'm not able to find, is how it works. I mean, you seem to describe the case as a silicone skin, with a metal plate sticked to it.
I thought it was more like a silicone skin with another semi-case to "clip" over the silicon....
Can you confirm if I am right or wrong?
And can you post multiple angles pictures?
Thank you, it would be much appreciated!

thanks but
so uglly

Ohh Great!

Thanks for the pictures! To me is one of the best cases i've ever seen.

Im sick of hard cases, any suggestions for a clear PET sheild ?

i spent over 50 dollars on cases and they all either broke or made the phone look fat ...
i decided an invisible sheild type sheild may be the best compromise. MY only trouble with itin the past was the sticky feeling surfaces, but maybe that changed.
any suggestions for a low cost total protector ? thanks !

I've been through all the cases too and even the full body sheilds. For the HD2, the best solution for me is a good gel case, (about £3. on ebay) the kind that has seperate openings for the camera, flash and speaker. Also vital is a good quality screen protector. My Vikuiti has been working perfectly for about 4 months now. With thise in place, the device is protected from bumps and scratches, has good grip, gains very little bulk and the screen still feels like glass.

i think that is what i will do then. thanks.
can you recommend a few gel casss from ebay ? perhaps capdase xpose jacket ?

Gel Case
I bought my Gel Case at Spider-Foot.com for 3.99 delivered to Sweden.
I think it's rather good.
Makes the HD2 about 3mm bigger all around (2x1.5mm)
At the same time I bought a 2-piece hard rubber case, same price but not as good.
Too stiff and sides are protruding making it bigger than necessary.
Previously I bought a Flexicase Silver, but that case is not good for radio/GPS reception. It almost blocks out GPS signals totally
Probably the metallic coating that acts as a Faraday Screen?
A Krusell leather case is also at home with me, good but rather clumpsy butit has it advantages when you don't want the HD2 in your pocket or on a bicycle.

This is the one I bought in Feb, still works great http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-BLACK-GEL-C..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item27adb5e82e

Just want to chime in. I'd stayed out from all body shield. I've used ZAGG invisible shield but removed it less than 3 months. Despite perfect installation, dirts accumulate on the edges and maaan I tell you its ugly! Also, it makes my screen less sensitive to touch.
Now I'm using soft gel case like ribcage and klp use, love it!

Have you tried an Otterbox Commuter? It doesn't add that much bulk to it.

I checked the listing. They ship to the US for 90p. Just make sure your phone is the same size. The US models are slightly different. If not, search ebay.com for gel cases and look for a similar one for US models. I'm sure there's plenty.

[Q] Cases/screen protector

Has anyone found a place to buy a good case for this phone yet?
Also, I sent an email to ZAGG (invisibleSHIELD) to see if they will be getting screen protectors for the vivid...I hope the respond soon...

I got the Moshi Protector and the AGF case from ATT when I picked up the vivid, case is fine, HATE the protector, makes the screen feel and react like the old resistive screens since it by design, doesn't lay flat on the screen.
I ordered a cheapo clear on ebay(prefer the clear ones) as soon as it comes in I am returning the moshi

I had a few leftovers from SGS2, and you wont believe how perfectly they fit on my Vivid. As if they were custom made for this phone.

Not sure how they are going to work out, but I bought some yesterday.. Ill letcha know.

When i picked up the phone i got a speck case and moshi screen protector. Reason i like the moshi is because its bubble free and reusable and anti-glare. The speck case is bulky but i had one on my inspire and i dropped that phone like 20 times and not a scratch or dent

could you take some shots of the phone with the speck case. I ordered 2 white phones with the white cases and i'm hoping they are going to make the phone too big.

Do you think you might be able to post your thoughts on the speck case? I got the white phone, and was contemplating the white case, too, but was afraid it would be too thick and make the phone a bit bulky. Thanks!

I picked up the Otterbox Commuter case from AT&T when I picked up the phone on Sunday. I really wish they had the black plastic case with black rubber case versus the black plastic with gray rubber case. But it is protected for now.
Still looking for a good screen protector for this though.

I got the white and black speck case its not that bulky as i recently stated but its not flimsy either like some of those ebay ones. Its rubber on the inside and a smooth hard plastic on the outside. the phone is very snug in the case you dont have to worry about over time the case looses its shape or gets looser. And not to mention if you do drop the phone at least you know they phone wont fall out of it or the back plate coming off.

I'm almost certain they will be, no worries. They've made screen protectors for far less popular phones.

How are the buttons on this case? I had Candyshell for Inspire and hated it becasue buttons were extremely stiff

just got comfirmation that my two white speck cases shipped through AT&T. Should be here tomorrow, now just have to wait for the phones to ship.

Cases and screen protector
I live in canada and really wanted to get the white speck case but when I contacted them about it they said they didn't know if they had any plans to make them, I replied with the link to the att website where its for sale and they replied with a link to the smartphone cases on their website. So helpful!
So going with the otterbox commuter and gonna get the ghost armour screen protector put on at my local mall. So far its the best I have used.

Love the Commuter for it's protection... my only complaint is that the cover over the usb port is a PAIN to open(I have to use the end of the charger cable to open it)

I wouldn't mind getting one of these if it were less expensive. I've looked online for about a total of 4 hours today and only found the Otter Box cases to my desire. That being said, I can't stand how bulky they make the phone feel.

Just cut it off and be done with it. Seriously, that's what I did with my previous Commuter cases.

compared to the otterbox case's prices to this one they are fair the only reason i dont like otterbox cases is because you have to take them apart.

I don't have nails... Bite them. (hey don't judge, it stops me from smoking )
When i push it up, the gray rubber pushes up towards the screen... you can actually see it separate from the black plastic part of the case...
I'll likely just cut it off.
I really wanted a Speck case, but they only had them in white(not a fan) and a crazy purple & blue thing (REALLY not a fan)

How can i protect the fragile touch screen?

I broke the touchscreen of my t-mobile hd2 ( my case did not help really) and I'm looking for a case that CAN protect my new glass .

I would suggest an Otterbox

There are many leather cases which it covers the whole phone that you can use.

Just don't drop it.

You can choose from many available. Starting from leather cases, through simple gel cases (like I have), ending on the tank-like Otterbox cases. IMHO you should choose depending on where do you use this, on which surface.
I have a simple gel pad for ca. 6,30$, but i mostly walk on carpets, wood and linoleum, and it works pretty well- although my HD2 landed on the floor many times with sound like something heavy has landed, my screen didn't break.
I got used to be careful, and watch out for the phone not to slip out from my hand.

I don't think looking for leather cases and the lot is the way to go - it might be a part of solving the problem; but the best way is to try and use the hard buttons on the phone less - especially the back and end keys. (maybe use softkeys like button savior if on android)

I understand the HD2 is Heavy. . .
Chuck Norris once tried to pick one up and
he broke his hand =)

You must have dropped it very hard on something like concrete. The HD2 has Gorilla glass so even if you was to buy a cheap $10 case off ebay you shouldn't have ever had a problem. I say shouldn't because even though we have Gorilla glass on our phone it only makes it harder to break, not impossible. Check out this video of the Leo being put through a tough screen test. I'll warn you, if you love your phone like i do its rather hard to watch.
Well back to protecting your phone. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of durable cases for our phone. With that said Otterbox should give you the best protection against dropped phones especially when onto hard surfaces. I've dropped mine a few times now on the ground and mine is only in a gel case. I never had a problem with it breaking but i'm sure there are other factors involved. I'm trying to find out for sure if our HTC HD2 can fit into a HTC Inspire 4G case. The measurments are very close, we are talking about less then a millimeter difference in some spots while others are exact. If it would i would suggest a case from Seidio.

I am ordering the seidio rugged inspire case from amazon it has 3 layers of protection. I'll let u know if it works.

I opened a thread about this earlier but had not got around to ordering it yet. I did try on a seidio plain hard case that fit. The volume buttons was a tricky fit though. You could press volume down just fine but you needed to press almost in the middle of the volume button to turn the volume up. It did fit nice and secure inside the case though. Very interested to find out the results.

got the seidio convert case today..more protection and cheaper than the defender. I looked most of the inspire 4g cases from seidio should fit as well as this one does.I think i will keep my tmobile hd2 a little longer now.
---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------
the volume rocker is not centered in the opening but works fine.

i suggest invisible shield, the feeling is really nice and its protection is also very good

I use the original HD leather case and it works well.
BTW: Most time I have my HD2 just in pockets of my jeans - for about two years no.

TPU Hybrid case with kickstand for Samsung Galaxy Note II (Review w/ Pics)

Once I got my T-Mobile Note 2, I searched the interwebs for a case that would protect the phone and make it less slippery. The quest was not an easy one, with barely any cases available, and most being replicas with different names. Additionally, none of the ones I saw offered protection around the corners, something that I find 100% essential on a case.
So after several hours on the general Galaxy Note II Accessories forum and several pages down the Amazon hole through multiple search keywords, I found the perfect case, for the time being. The case is a basic TPU S-line hybrid with an added kickstand. Nothing new or revolutionary, I'm sure, but given the lack of choices as of yet, a good one nonetheless.
The case protects, as commented, all 4 corners, and it protrudes enough that it lets you place the phone face down without suffering any damage on the screen. The kickstand works, though this is also the biggest caveat I've found.
The kickstand is on a hinge, and, to keep the case as thin as possible, the kickstand is embedded into the case. This wouldn't be such a problem, this happens on the Seidio Active, for example. However, the case is so thin that the hinges protrude too much out of the case, causing this to be the main point of contact with the surface when you place the phone on its back. It's irritating because one would hope a case would make the phone less slippery when placed on a surface than the original plastic, but hanging from two small pieces of plastic is not much better. There's always the placing the phone on its kickstand position, and that's fine, but don't think about pushing the phone hard on this position, or you'll cause the hinge to let you shift the phone to the "second" position, and, if pushed further, down to the ground.
The kickstand hasn't broken yet, but leaves uncertainty on how long it'll last. The black part of the case is grippy, specially on its sides, with the semi-see-through material being more slippery (though this is not an inconvenience, really).
All ports are well protected, but not covered, so no worries about echo issues like in other cases.
The kickstand is perfect for watching movies on the beautiful 5.5 inch screen.
The durability of the case is debatable. While I'm sure it'll withstand some falls, its purpose is more of a "now it'll not slip off my hands every time I pull it out of my pocket" than "let's toss this sucker from a 20 ft window"
This case more than serves its purpose, and at $5.98 including S&H (shipping from MN, USA), it should be in everyone's short list of capable though cheap cases.
If your phone is naked awaiting a case that fits your immediate needs, this will suffice. If you're looking for something that protects better, is more elegant, and of a known brand, the Seidio Active with Metal Kickstand is my #1 choice. But meanwhile, until it is released, I'd rather have this $6 case than go "naked".
I'm waiting for Amazon to accept all my images that I uploaded so I can provide you with images.
In the meantime, you can check out my Amazon Review here.
>>> It comes on either Black, Blue, Pink, Purple, White. I think I've also seen red, and I'm sure you can also find it on eBay.
>>> Black one seems to be "Unavailable".

Did it come with that screen protector you have installed?
I ordered one from china might get it next year LOL and also ordered another for a note 1, hopefully is as good as this one, I've had the S-line case on my S3 and even tho it was cheap i loved it.. you keep the slimness of the phone witch is important having a 5.5inch screen on the pant pockets isn't fun, imagine adding 1cm of case might aswell get the iDevice-mini.
thanks for the pics now i know what I got into...

Yeah I tried to do it so that the selling company was located in the US, just so it wouldn't take so long to arrive because I was holding the phone naked and it was slippery as hell.
The screen protector is a SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen Protector Clear Steinheil [Ultra Oleophobic] [2-PACK]
Personally, I don't think the protector is the best, but I feel more comfortable about using my phone now. The safer the better. I got a scratch on my S2 with Gorilla Glass, because I figured "oh Gorilla Glass...don't need a protector". I tried to put protector when I first got it, but failed on 3 accounts. It just didn't look good. Wore it for a while till it looked even worse and I just simply removed it. And of course... Sh*t happens.
So this time, I ordered protector same time as case. Except it is fulfilled by Amazon so it took 2 days free shipping. I think the price is high, AND I have 2-3 bubbles that don't go away. Really, they aren't bubbles. They're specks of dust, and the surrounding area does not stick to the screen. I've thought about using the second protector but...uh I don't know.
"But it's Gorilla Glass 2, you don't need protector!" Not gonna fall twice for that. "But it's gonna interfere with the S Pen!" You know what, I think from time to time it does interfere. I've noticed sometimes while drawing that I might lift the pen but it still draws on the screen. Not sure if that's due to the screen protector or not...
Anyway, best of luck. Protect your phone with the first thing you find in the meantime until you get your case!

i see there's a minor bump on the kickstand that prevents the phone from laying perfectly flat on it's back. Is there' a slight wobble to it if you lay it flat and touch one side?

I just got this case in today and Im happy with what I got for the money.

well....
Since I got the Note 2 from t mobile on the day of launch, the store was not carrying any cases so I went ahead and ordered a cheap plastic case from ebay and ran to the sprint store where they had ONE SAMSUNG OEM FLIP CASE and purchased as well. As everybody knows, this samsung OEM case DOES NOT PROVIDE SIDE/CORNER protectio and since I HAVE NO GRIP hands, I had to have every kind of protection available so I integrated both covers. Here are some sample pics. I will keep this on until I get my SPIGEN case!!!!
p.s. I know it looks kind of ghetto but at least I am protected!!!

It really is thin. This may not be the best for you, but I'd say just because of the kickstand, it may hold you over until you find a better one. Personally looking forward to Trident Aegis and Seidio Active. There's also Otterbox...

I got the same but the phone won't fit well. If I manage to fit the top, the bottom won't. If I do the opposite the top won't. Did yours had this problem?

Sorry, can't help you there. I really had no problem whatsoever putting this one in. I've taken it out about a dozen times, and I've never had issues taking it out or putting it back in. I ordered the Seidio Active case, so this one will be retired soon. But while using it, my only complaint was that the stand was not reliable. That's about it.
You might want to contact the seller and get a replacement. Looks like there's something wrong with yours. Also, make sure that all ports/buttons line up, and that they didn't send you the case for the wrong phone or some such.
Good luck!

This case is "unavailable" on Amazon but there are a million of them on Ebay, in all different colors. I got one in clear because I like to show off my phone, not the case, although I know from my old iPod case that I actually like the look of a clear glass-like edge around the sides.
I just wanted to chime in that if you get the clear version, beware that it *will* stick to the back cover of the phone. It's ugly because you get these big blobs and patches, and I found it immediately unacceptable. The case only cost me $5 so I just tried sanding it down on the inside so it wouldn't stick... which technically worked, but now it's even uglier. Yeah, I ruined it, but I couldn't see using it the way it was before. I was also concerned that over time, it'd stick so hard that I wouldn't be able to get it off. Already, whenever I'd take it off, I'd hear a "crack" as it unstuck from the back cover. I'm actually still using it after the sanding and it works just fine and doesn't stick anymore, but it is ugly.
My advice is to get a solid color version of this case if you get one, and still sand the inside of it so it doesn't stick. (Though make sure it's really opaque if you sand it; if it's clear at all, you'll see sanding marks.)
I really like kickstand cases but I'm thinking now of just getting something that gives me a little better grip on the phone (like a textured back cover) and then either not getting a case at all, or getting another one of these and hoping it doesn't stick to a more matte back cover.

for those who don't like the gloss look, how about:

No, I don't have one sorry.
I just spotted it on ebay last night and thought I would post it here as an alternative for people to consider when I saw the thread earlier
I do have it in my watchlist and may purchase later, but at the moment I'm using a FlyGrip and a plain matt tpu case

The kickstand looks a bit more flush on that one. Does not seem like there is much texture in the TPU for grip though. I will let someone else be the guinea pig, but I am curious to hear about it.

Me too, I'm very curious about this case...

They have that one in clear now too.
It looks frosted so it probably just has a matte texture that makes it easier to grip.
I found another clear TPU case similar to the first kickstand one but minus the stand and with all 5-star reviews on Amazon... found the same case on Ebay for cheaper (under 5 bucks) so I'm trying that next. If that one still creates unsightly stickiness, I'll just go for a clear hard plastic case. I've used one of those on my iPod for literally 5 years and they are surprisingly effective and look perfect.

LOL. I ordered the clear one to try out. I am so weak and have no will power.
