What's in the box - case?

Hey all,
I've got mine on pre-order and have been looking around for ideas about what comes in the box. I found this: http://www.slashphone.com/htc-touch-...unboxing-16485 and various other links to the same sourse.
It appears you get a charger, headphones, USB lead. However, there is no case?
There were rumours around that the special self-cleaning case might be included: http://www.phonemag.com/htc-touch-di...deo-052706.php but this is not present in the unboxing pics. For a phone to come from HTC without a case is a little strange...
Anyone found anything more about this???

I don't think it's gonna be in the box.
The case is about €15

case
O2 Orbit didnt have a case either, maybe thats just O2 but it does show they will drop it if need be

I think the Orbit 2 does come with a case AKA Touch Cruise

true. bought 2 orbit 2's and both had a case. they came with co pilot too. so maybe the one's without copilot didn't have a case.

i really think this phone needs to be cased
with that back it won't take long before it gets messed up

Htc Touch Diamond
I just got my Diamond this afternoon in Hong Kong and confirm that the case is not included.

HTC Diamond is without the case, the german xda diamond you will get with the case!

The contents of the box is probably region specific in some cases.

It appears that it will be case-less. So, I ordered the HTC slip case for it - only a £10'er so if I end up with two of them no big deal....
Now, TomTom is another matter - let's hope that comes with it!

Take a look what is inside the box:
No case.

I have got a business version, which does not include copilot and extras ( car charger/mount). And mines comes with the pouch(case). Advice to users. if you have the orbit2 please do not buy crystal cases or screen protectors form ebay because i bought a case and a protector and they do not fit as it is different.

Please can you post a pics of your package with accesories, was it from portugal

Plenty of articles on this and HTC is not happy about it.
Especially as HTC Europe will NOT support Hong Kong import models (and they are easy to trace with S/N and Imei.
Wonder how long you gonna mis your Diamond if needed to send back (to Hong Kong) for repair.
Price comparison:
Bought mine in HK yesterday for 5600 HKD downtown . Should be around 700US.
Euro pricing avarage : 585 -600 Euro. Do the maths and understand why Expansys is importing (though they will mention it on their sites if it is UK / HK or whatever version normally)

Is there a screen protector included in the box? Some unboxing reviews I've seen included a screen protector; others make no mention of one.

Yes, there is a SP in the box, but the quality is bad. Scratches easely, gives like a fume - dusty look when in sunlight.
I wait for a better quality OEM version - to reccomend.

Yeah, most freebies that come in any package are generally crap to slightly acceptable quality. I guess it will do for the time being whilst I source out a full-body skin/shield or a good quality SP & case. Any word on Martin Fields SPs?

I had that cradle for my Artemis, obviously with a different insert, and that blue light is bloody annoying!

He he. My friends find it cool instead! May be it is a matter of time that I will also start finding it annoying

I have some of the black electricians tape left that I used to cover it over. PM me when you need it

What reason do you have to think it would n 't?
Diamond is Diamond and the connections are all the same.

Probably because I've already ordered a "Diamond Cradle" from one online company (Daydeal) and had to return it because the USB connector was
1) in the opposite direction and
2) located about 2.5 cm closer to the backplate
Daydeal has since revised that particular listing as GSM.
That's why.

i have the PDAir Aluminium case, and boy it has saved me from some damage. Though, when i used the leather pouch i was unfortunate enough to drop it and now have 3 nice dents in the bottom of it

Stylus Holder

Is there anybody who knows where I can get a replacement stylus holder, checked net dont seem to find one have tried to contact HTC but no reply yet. Stylus holder helps to keep back cover on aswell hence the reason I need a new one..Any help is appreciated..

best bet is gonna be buying a replacement housing case for the phone by the looks of things, give ebay a go

Have bought one already but came without stylus holder, waiting to hear from another guy who sells housing on e-bay pic shows at it comes with holder but you can never be sure..

Black back battery cover

Hey guys,
Where can I buy a black back battery cover? International shipping is a must
Cheers!

Replacement Housing ?
http://shop.brando.com/htc-desire-replacement-housing_p04686c0587d004.html

Well, that's an option but it's rather expensive. I only need the back cover.

HTC sell 'em, at least in the UK. There is a couple of weeks wait but it's worth a look.
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=199270

what about getting a dummy phone from ebay, I think you can pick them up for around £5.
Not sure however if they are complete replica's of the outer housing so its a gamble

Care to share a link?

you have to be joking, dummy phones dont come to bits they are a fixed piece of plastic but the £15.99 back cover from HTC does look good but extremely expensive.

I just ordered a battery cover from htcaccessorystore.com. Will let you know if it's any good.

is it good....i need to buy one for me too....Want to do some modificatiosna on back cover and want another one for just in case something goes wrong

Go for it! I can confirm that it is a good purchase

damn that's 30euro just for the back cover

Hello there
I am assuming your have your phone from Orange UK, if this is the case, you can phone orange and they will replace for FREE, well that is what I did

As a new member i am not allowed to post a link, but just go to the german Ebay and search for TG01 you will find the whole casing search for "ORIGINAL TOSHIBA TG01 TG 01 COVER GEHÄUSE TOUCHSCREEN"
but its quite expensive
54,90 Euro

Contact Toshiba, and decide.
