So far I have seen the Vaja case, which is only in black leather available and has no hole for the camera. Then there's the Piel Frama case in several styles and colours and with a hole and with a nice, removable belt clip. Pretty pricy though, both Piel and Vaja are around € 60,00 which is heavy.
And there is the Proporta alu case, pretty looking and nicely priced at about € 35 but I don't like alu cases because the lit is always in the way.
Pretty poor collection, so far....... I am considering the Piel case but I think if I wait a bit maybe there will be other, better priced cases on the market. I know we had a big discussion about the "ideal" case for an XDA a while ago here but I don't think a perfect case for the XDA has ever been made.
Now the makers are starting all over again with the same conventional designs. I wonder if they have learnt anything from the former discussions here.
Anyhow, before my rant becomes too much of a drag, I just wondered what you are using at the moment for your XDAII (Or Qtek 2020/MDAII/Imate). :?: I am using the stock case as long as I havn't bought a better alternative.
I'm using the provided case for my brand new xda II (it was delivered yesterday and I pleased as punch with it!!!). That's only until the Piel case I ordered last night arrives. I really hate the case that came with the xda II. It looks cheap, doesn't fit it very well and is a real struggle to get the flap closed without pressing any of the buttons!!! Not to mention the lack of credit card slots!
http://www.proporta.com/detail.asp?id=624
heard people speak highly about these alu cases
Go to ebcases.com and request them make a case for the phone. I really like the case they have for the XDA and would love to get them to modify it just a bit for the XDA II. Maybe if enough of us request it.
I've bought the proporta one,
Looks very pretty,
Not heavy,
It has a removable belt clip.
All the buttons are accessible except those for calendar and contact.
SD slots are well designed, inserting and ejection are very easy.

Got myself the Proporta case, looks smart and is slim. Cost a litlle more then € 35. I payed about € 50 incl Tax and shipping. ( tot the Netherlands)
I'm waiting for the Vaja I-Volution case ; I had one for my XDA I , fantastic indeed, and want one for my XDA II

Indeed, a great case! I had one for my xda too........bit expensive though at 115 dollars.
The second setback of the I-volution is that, if you are using the xda as a phone it looks like you are talking into a big, leather, black shoe with the hard fliptop standing upright. :shock:

Well, converted in Euro's that's € 60,00 incl int.shipping with UPS. I received mine only 2 days after ordering. It's expensive, but it's a damn fine quality case.......had one before on my xda as well.
goztreh or JJJ have you noticed any difference in siganal quality for calls or with blue tooth with the Proporte ALU case??
I am very interested in this case but read somewhere that it can affect reception, and was wodering if either of you noticed any problem with this.
Currently use the standard leather case, and after a while it start looking a bit cheap, as you constantly have to take it out for charging.
And i have noticed that it is not so much secure in the case as it was new.
I am also looking to upgrade to the proporta case. but like others a bit worry about the lost signal strenght and the inherrent battary use
So please let us have your opinion
Is it my eyes or is there a big hole in that XDA2 as shown on the propota website where the contacts button should be
look here for the new proporta case, very cheap too.

Hi guys,
What I read is that the Alu case realy reduces the signal strength and that is a very bad thing. My problem now is that I think the alu case ads less bulk but the phone strength is too important for me. I came across the Active Armor case and that realy looks interesting. Here is a review for a 2210 because there is no case (yet) for the MDA II. http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/activearmor-hp2200-review.html
I sent them a message to ask if they have planned a case for the MDA II in the feature and as soon as I get a reply, I'll post it here. I think it looks like a good sollution: very well protected and not too big. But I think they have to change the flip cover otherwise you can't hear your speaker...
Wouter
Why does nobody mention Krusell ?
http://www.krusell.se/handit.asp
it's there for the MDA/XDA II also !
Hi Johan,
Which one will fit the MDA II. I can't tell for sure on their site.
Wouter
I've never used any cases and keep my PPC in my pants pocket, but I really like the protection cases provide, as well as integrating my Wallet into it.
This may sound stupid, but how do you use the cradle with the case on? Or do you just charge with a USB Cable? If you use the cradle, do you have to take it off everytime you sync? I take my device in and out of the cradle 10-20 times a day, so I would love to have a case that works with the cradle.
Thanks.
I was on a plane this morning and as I walked down the aisle I saw someone reading a magazine with an ad for the perfect XDA II case. Unfortunately, I must have read the URL wrong. I thought it was "sanocases.com" but that doesn't work, nor a couple of similar things I tried.
Does that name ring a bell with anyone? It's a case much like the EB case for the XDA I, which doesn't have the annoying snap strap on it.
I have a vague memory of a screen protector sold under the "Sando" brand name but cant find anything on google.

Maybe JavoCase ?
Look here http://www.javoedge.com
Serge
Thanks guys, but no dice. The Javo is interesting though, I might just get one to test drive. Similar to the protection of the aluminum case (which I mostly love) except without the signal interference problem.
how about www.senacases.com?
Unfortunately, I don't see a XDA II case by them - or at least, not on their website.
I think that's it! But I could have sworn it was an XDA II that was in the ad photo. Damn, my eyes must have been really bad that early in the morning.
Founding the right case for me wasn't difficult.
I just take the ones that cames with the XDAII and cut off the flap.
No regrets
Since you seem to be looking for something protective and not limiting radio reception, have a look at the Proporta Clearcase (name doesnt sound like "sano" . . . )
www.proporta.com
Case is excellent, because its 'plastic' (durable though) it will get scratches, but that what its for.
Finaly see who is calling without opening the case
Only need to open it is to write on it.
I think the case (when closed) is stable enough to protect the XDA2 (or MDAII, although tha case was designed for the plain XDA2/iMate case, the T-Mobile case fits too with all button available without opeing clearcase), but I did not dare to test a drop from the table . . .
I just ordered the Javo clear case, which seems the same. I agree that it seems ideal, as I love the protection of the metal case but not the slight signal degradation.
Javo clearcase IS the same as proporta Clearcase.
Shipping is cheaper with Proporta (at least in Europe)
I have one of the plastic cases and I love it. I've had it about a month now and the case has a minor scratch on it, well, more a chunk from my keys. Well worth it
Thank's for the link's , do any of you guy's know where i could find a case for the xda 2 which is deep enough to take a backpack as well . cheers steve
I have a Krussel drop-in case which would probably work with the backpack. I use that now because I use the car kit, so an attached case doesn't make sense.
I have buyed all cases available for my Qtek2020.
Silicon case, no good for me, after 1 week is broken and the screen is not protected.
Metal case, the door is uncomfortable, and for me is not good when the phone receive the call because i open the door, is very strong.
Case in policarbonete clear, very best solution, very strong and comfortable, I prefere this one.
if the screen were not protected then you were not using this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20484
but it will break if you take it out of the case too often which is why i dont use the cradle anymore
there are many many many cases and i doubt you tried them all ....
my poly cased died after a drop
and it was troublesome to open compared to the silicone i use now
silicon == melted sand you make chips from
silicone == rubber
I found this one http://www.cases.com/xda2.htm last days but I am still looking for one than I can use with the backpack.
See you
The best case ever!!!!
Finally I found it!!!!

First of all HTC backtrack as they are now too stingy to include the pouch for the diamond with the phone itself.
Then nowhere, and I mean NOWHERE has any of the damn cases in stock. I placed an order with Expansys and now it says 25 days estimated wait for delivery. No other mobile vendor has any in stock and are only taking preorders with no ETA.
Just what the hell is going on? Who is going to put a touch diamond in their pocket with no protection? Why were HTC not prepared for this?
Anyone know of any place that has one in stock? Im based in the UK. I dont want the one with a belt clip.
my diamond has no scratches and is always in my pocket.
maybe coz im careful not to put anything else in the pocket i ahve my touch diamond in
get a rubber case of ebay
i have had one on my trinity for 2 years now
the phone still looks like new
or you can get something like this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Krusell-Orbit...hash=item370066715175&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318
Well I rang Expansys, and just as I thought - they have over 600 backorders for this. Which leads me to ask again.. were HTC not prepared for this??!
I can understand your complaints..but..
have you considered sth like that? That's what I got:
http://wmexperts.com/reviews/cases/review_golla_parrot_case.html
It's fantastic + can be used as a wallet too
I got the green camo one for 15 euros.
probably O2 Germany bought all of the first production. They sold much over 1000 diamonds, all WITH the HTC case.
The case is very nice and worth waiting for.
not before 22 days at expansys for me
Do they have the right to delay like that?? How can I cancel my order, I can't find the option on their website?
Ordered this on Monday. Arrived this morning.
http://www.beyzacases.com/cat-htc-t...es---ultra-slim-type-vertical-pouch-cases.cfm
A bit expensive, compared to the HTC case, but I'm happy with it so far. Very nice construction and materials.

Looks really great!!! It's a pity the black version is currently not available :-( I have to wait. I think those cases are better than the original pouch
The are indeed very nice (beyza case). It is lined with a velvet type material which helps clean the screen. I have no idea if cleans better than the OEM case, but its better than nothing.
Also...it is a pretty tight fit, so I don't know if a extended battery would fit. If anyone has any questions they want to ask me about the case, shoot me a PM.

My Orange UK diamond came with the official case/wallet for the handset
I bought me again a pytom leather case. Swiss top quality. I had them already for the Tytn2 and liked them very much.
Go and check them out: I got mine within 2 days. But I live in Switzerland. They use very fine leather and inside it has a material that cleans it.
I got myself the Cosa Nostra, nice one!
www.pytom.ch
I purchased this one from eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-LEATHER-H...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
But I am only using it temporarily until the Krusell case comes to expansys.
BTW have you taken a look at the "Bloody Mary" case! LoL
https://pytom.ch/de_CH/f/htc-touch-diamond/mobile/simple/bloody-mary/
I ordered a pdair case as it looks gorgeous and there's not too much of a 'lip' near the control panel. It's also got a removable belt clip. The free pouch is pretty useless anyway unless you want to have to keep pulling out and putting back your phone every time you want to use it. I went for a flippy cover as they're more practical (hence not 'free').
The only truly decent 'free' case I've ever seen with an HTC device is the one with the Advantage.

You cannot find any diamond cases in the UK because HTC decided to screw over offline buyers and give all the cases away to Orange customers.
I finally managed to buy one of those HTC diamond cases. It is pretty nice but don't confuse it with the one on youtube with the release mechanism (pressing the two edges and the diamond pops out). The HTC case doesn't have that. In addition you can you can insert the device in the case only from one side. The other one is blocked by a something like a cloth rubber stripe (not the best explanation).
Even though I had some concerns regarding how steady the device would be in it, the case actually holds it really firmly.
Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone knows if this phone will ship with a leather case? The only other HTC phones I've had are the Touch Diamond and the Touch Pro 2, both shipped with cases, so I'm feeling hopeful. Just wondered if anyone knew for sure?
Well the g2 hasn't from the looks of it so I doubt it. My hero didn't come with one a year ago either.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
From a description I read previously, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. But, then again, I'm pretty sure in the description, it said it came with an 8gb card, and another member said he was told it didn't come with a card!
However, since you can buy a leather slip case seperately for this, I'm gonna go ahead and say that it won't come with a leather case...
Every HTC device that I've ever bought has shipped with a leather case.. so.. I think yes... but we'll see.
I just got mine today and sadly it does not come with a leather case.

this policy seems to have changed more recently, I used to get one with htc phones up till the magic, but then hero, legend and desire all didn't come with a case
Hi,
When I've ordered the HD2, the case arrived in the box as well.
A month later I have ordered a Touch2 for my friend and there was no case in the box.
So ... we will see what is in the box when it arrives, hope there will be no difference in accessories between countries where the phone will be delivered.
If htc cheaps out of a leather case for the Desire Z, the G2 forums are reporting that the original G1 case, easily found on eBay for cheap, fits the G2 perfectly.

Just the case I ordered one week ago. Free shipping worldwide
Interesting. Not sure how much that plastic over the keys would annoy me, though. I almost think I'd rather have a slip pouch that I'd have to remove the phone from each time than type through plastic. I dunno, I really did have my heart set on something I'd be able to type on while still in the pouch.
not a huge fan of leather cases tbh..seems to add a lot of perceived bulk to the phone. a clear crystal case would be fine i think..but at the moment, not many options! guess i'll just have to take extra care when i get my phone in 2 days! =D
In my opinion Noreve has the best leather cases. These case's have a stable metal frame inside the stitch edges.
- Dromaius
Just had a look and yes, their cases look great. Could only see a pouch style case for the DZ, though. Went ahead and sent them an e-mail asking if they planned to develop a flip style case and I received this back...
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your email.
This case is under production. We will launch it in less than 1/2 weeks. http://www.noreve.com/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_Desire_Z_Tradition.html
We will inform you as soon as we launch it on-line.
Thank you for your interest in our brand.

Hello!
I will get my One Mini in like 2 - 5 days. Of course I want to protect it.
Im kinda always outside and not at home, so there's like always a possibility to drop the phone.
My dad owns the bigger sibling (M7) and he told me this device is really slippy, even though it's pretty handy. I never dropped any of my phones outside and broke the display or anything.. Well I dropped my iPod Touch one time.. but that was an apple device.. I got over it
Now, are there any good cases out yet ?
Im currently using a flipcase on my Desire HD. Brand: I-Carer.
So I preffer cases like the one I have. Dad ordered THIS one.
Im searching for something simular. But I haven't found anything yet..
Anything out yet, or am I asking too early...
Mini protection....
Hi,
I'd suggest a case-mate "barely there" silicon sleeve, and get a Zagg screen protector (coming soon for the mini - check the site!)
As the phone's name suggests, it's mini, so why bulk it up with silly flip cases!
I own that one:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00E8Y...flip case&qid=1376506583&ref_=sr_1_59&sr=8-59
Im honestly not that satisfied..
So imma order a new one soon..
I cant find a picture of the case you wrote down, can you post or pm a link ?
Think I'll prefer silicon soft cases..
I always had them, wanted to try something new but the flipcase makes a fast accept difficult, and not very handy..
I can post a full review to that case If needed.

I've just put on a skinomi screen protector. Bought from amazon, same as Zagg, just slightly cheaper. Reply back once its fully stuck and useable and give an opinion on it.

Simular to zagg ?
Can you send me a link ? Im on my phone, bad internet connection over here..cant find it on google..
I had a zagg screenprotector once.
Tbh i stil have it
Its stil on the device, and I loved that protector.
So I'd like to see the alternative, and maybe review it.

Bought it, applied it following the direction, threw it away 20 seconds after. Complete waste of money. Hopefully Spiegen will come out the glass one for mini, by far the best screen protector I have ever had.

I have to dissagree. It went on better than the zagg i done for my lads Desire C, and is crystal clear when on. Yes, some ppl don't like the feel of these types of protectors, but as for protection i think its worth it. And for only £7, its worth every penny.
I tried to post a link but have a restricted account atm, sorry.

No problem mate, I already searched it up when I had better connection
Gonna try out soon, as I've been satisfied with the zagg case :thumbup:
