Has anyone tried using these snap on hard crystal cases on their Tmobile wing or HTC heralds?
does it stay on real tight?

decent quiality
i just bought mines from daydeal.com and the quality isnt bad it connects well and isnt very loose and you can choose from different colors at daydeal.com i got the smoke grey but the belt clip attachment isnt very good feels kinda loose wen clippin to pants
I didn't like the one I received.
It fits fine and the parts are all usable but there's no protection for the screen and while it'll keep things looking pretty, it provides no shock protection. All it really does is make the phone bigger.
Oh... and forget using any extended batteries.
Does any one know if this case fits the original p4350 Herald (non-wing). The camera position and front buttons are different.
I like the crystal cover I purchased off of ebay. As one of the posters replied it doesn't have a protective cover for the screen. I also purchased a metal case and love it. It came with a small plastic for the screen. Only minor drawback is, I must open the door to use touch screen, nothing major.

Can you post a link to where people can find it?
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.
Attached Pics:
Attached Pics:
a. the flat bottom screen protector.
b. the view of the camera from the back. As can be seen it is very open and does not affect exposure.
c. the packaging (plastic)
Review:
Price: £1.89 + £ree p&p
(not the cheapest case i've ever bought: £0.10 for Crystal N95 Case + Screen Protector, but hey what can you do )
The case took about 10 days to be delivered.
The packaging was alright not a cardboard box but the contents were not affected in anyway and for free delivery what can you expect
I was happy that they sent 2 screen protectors, as can be seen in the pics they are not the same. One of which protects some protection to the bottom of the phone beside the keys. One of which does not. I have not yet attached the screen protectors as I do not see as being currently necessary and I'm rubbish at applying screen protectors ( Get bubbles everywhere )
The case itself has a nice orange stitching and a soft velvety interior finish. The velvet itself can be seen to be a dust magnet. I have tested out the compass and the magnetic clasp does not affect it.
Update 24/06/10:
As highlighted by JonPickles below the plastic case securing the phone to the case is tight. I am slightly worried whether repeated removal and installation of the phone will cause damage to the paint of the casing. Also if the phone is not taken out properly the tight fitting can cause the battery cover to come of. As of now I have not found a good way to remove the phone. I am wondering it repeated removal will losen the fitting making it easier to remove. If anyone else has this case or any other tight fitting cases please share any tips on how best to remove it.

i bought one too and didnt like how the phone was squeezed into the plastic holder and my battery cover came off when i took it out of holder plus didnt like the securing tab in my ear when makin/answerin a call so bought another that was completely leather and the tab was not in the way for £3.50 from hong kong which came in ten days also
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190399620812&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I didn't like the leather insert into which the phone goes. But everyone has their own tastes.
Great case for that price, it's really cheap and do the job perfectly, thanks for this share
Just got it
It barely fits the phone with INVISIBLE FULL BODY ZAGG SHILED ! My zagg shield got ripped of my phone and destroyed zagg shield. + it did not fit. My batteri cover came of and its really hard to take the phone out , dont like it at all
Thanks for the info m4sta2k, I'll stay clear of this one then.
The same story

The same story - slightly different characters:
Beware of snap-on hard cases! I mean you have to be very careful and do not go for the cheapest ones. My sad experience with one of them, very similar to this one brought me to this rather obvious conclusion. What happened is that in 3 weeks gray paint/covering of my HD2 was damaged wherever it touched the sturdily snapping hard case - on the corners battery cover (where the gray plastic body of HD2 slightly is raised comparing to lower battery cover) - I will post photos of it.
Then I ordered a leather pull-case, and i am happy with it. Here is my positive review for it
If anyone finds a bumper case like the iphone is getting, please post it here the link, I would love one of those for my Legend.
otterbox.com .. i already have one from there
I don't even seen the Legend listed on OtterBox.com :S
Nevermind, it just wasn't in the front-page finder tool, but it can be found on the left menu, or by going here: http://www.otterbox.com/htc-cases/htc-legend-cases/htc-legend-commuter-series-case/
There are plenty on ebay and other sites, including Gel, Plastic & Silicon bumpers...
I like my Gel case, the plastic one was rubbish, I like the Silicon bumper I got for my Wildfire - might get one for my Legend.
I really want to find one that doesn't cover the front or the back, and only the sides. I've yet to find any like that
You want this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767724
having a silicon/gel cover that only does the sides imho is pointless as it will keep coming off...
I've seen them tight enough that they don't come off easily. They are fairly rigid and can protect the front and back when the phone is on a flat surface, but are mainly for protecting the sides/corners.
In my experiences I've only ever damaged the corners of my phones by dropping.
Cases normally ruin the way a phone looks to me but a bumper would be acceptable if I could find one
Hi,
I'm not a big fan of this silicon cases. So I'm searching for a hard case but didn't find anything for the P9000. Does someone has an Idea where I could get such a case?
I've not seen anything available, cases are very limited for this phone (same as anything else)

It's weird, but i checked spanish ebay and there were lots of cases for P9000 Lite, so I suppose it'd be the same for P9000. Check ebay and similar sites, there are tons of cases for P9000
f.e.

I just checked German Amazon - and at least aside the flip cases, there are some PU cases like:

Just wanted to mention that the case you have seems to be a lot better at protecting the phone from drops than the Elephone original leather case. I had the original leather case and it completely failed to protect the front lower part of the screen. The original one doesn't have anything that would hold the screen cover on, so when my phone fell from the hand it nicely opened up and landed straight on the bottom front edge and broke the glass.
Anything?!?
Hey guys, anyone find any better options? I just had to buy my second p9000 as I bent my original one that was in my pocket with a tpu case when lifting a box (don't ask!). My wife is using the leather case which flicnflack was suggesting, only issue is the fingerprint sensor is too recessed so is unusable. This is madness that there's only 2 cases!

Hi haidar, thanks for the suggestion, but as I said - I had a tpu case on it when I broke it. Almost identical to the one you linked to. They offer no support other than protecting the edges from a small drop... I'm looking for an "Otterbox" style, heavy duty case but the only options are either a tpu or crappy leather flip with an unusable fingerprint cutout!
Have you thought about modifying a case, like someone else did here in the forum? R-armour case or so, 3 threads down. That seems like the toughest solution to me.

Have it ordered! Ill keep you posted but it's just disappointing that there's nothing made specifically for it along those lines
P9000 hard case
When I bought my P9000 I also ordered a hard case (9.99 USD from Aliexpress). I found out when I received my phone that a silicon case was included but was not mentioned on the box listing. The hard case was white and quite nice looking and worked rather well. Unfortunately it was made out of very cheap looking plastic and proved to be very fragile. It did not prevent the screen from breaking off a corner when dropped and the screen finally stopped working and I now had a "brick". I do not recommend the hard case, a silicon case eventually combined with a temred glass screen protection is certailnly better and costs less.
I would also suggest that the little Sim tray unlocking tool should not be kept in the 3.5mm soccket as recommended as it may have contributed to the breaking off of the upper left corner of the screen right next to this.
