Just wanted to share my thoughts on the Proporta Silicon Case from expansys. Basically its very good and retains the slimness of the whole whilst protecting it brilliantly, protects the casing perfectly from scratches, fits really good - not too tight not too loose. Also features the touch diamond pattern on the back too. Arrived next day aswell
I have bought some similar from shop.brando.com.hk and they have always been very good. Last a year or so before they start to get too loose in the fit and needs to be replaces.

I got two of these off ebay for less than a fiver for both.
don't really like the diamond design on the back but a lot better than a dent or scratch
Do they stay on? I wouldn't like it coming off while taking the phone out of my pocket..
got one of these for about £3 off ebay - binned it cos it covers up the stylus - i am not weened off my pointy stick yet!
the case is secure once its on the diamond.
some cons :
it looks ugly when on
you cannot take stylus out
the design around the screen is raised so can be akward touching near the egde of the screen.
pros:
very cheap
will last for a very long time
and will protect the jewel as well as it can with its design.
This one has a hole for stylus and it's cheap.
the proporta silicon case i got from expansys as quoted in the first post does have a cut out for access to the stylus. it doesnt slip out either, nice and snug!

Does this case have a screen protector built in?
I've just ordered this phone a few days ago and waiting for delivery from the UK.
Just wondering what cases others have used for this phone? Or recommendations even?
I've got an i-mate SP5 (HTC Tornado) at the moment, which came with a leather pouch/holder (that hangs on the belt etc). I doubt the SP5 case will fit the S740, which I know is much longer in size.
It doesn't have to be one made specifically for this phone, it just needs to fit it.
I have one of the PDair aluminum cases for my S740. This followed me dropping the phone onto the sidewalk and cracking the nice front screen which in turn made me realize that the design of the phone offers no protection against this sort of accident.
So when I am out an about at the weekend, this wraps the phone in a very nice metal case that clips to the belt but gives you full access to all controls and buttons (except the QWERTY) without having to take the phone out of the case. You can then flip open the case (it has a hinge) to use the QWERTY if you need to.
So if what you need is proper protection against knocks, this is the case for you
That's probably good advice. I do have a tendency to drop my phones.
My Tornado's somehow managed to survive everything thus far with plenty of scratches to show for it.
I've already ordered the Krusell case, so i'll see how that one goes first. Otherwise i'll probably end up getting the aluminum one too.

Hi. I can recommend you the Krusell pouzdro Orbit flex or the Krusell Horizon.
Krusell Orbit Flex for HTC S740
Hi
I have got case "Krusell Orbit Flex for HTC S740" for few days. It is not bad case. It is good, but it has few problems.

1.
There is no openning for USB port

Front of case is a little bit smaller, so phone is not covered/secured at front upper corner.

Hole for camera a little bit out of line , so you can see it in photos taken by phone.

But I still think that this case is very good. These are only minor problems.
Krusell Multiadapt system is perfect. I am gonna buy CarHoldickit and BikeHolderkit.

no it does not come with a case.
Some of the pre release Press Review Models had a mesh slip case thing in the box but the retail boxed device does not come with any for of case or cover.

oh ic..
what a pity,so we have to buy a proper case for this thing.
hmm, i think its a little hard to find.
i wonder to buy the simple case for this rose, just like the one from default in E90 nokia does, i think its cool case
I got my S740 on an Orange contract. It came with a mesh style slip pouch. I've attached a photo of it.
I don't like krussel cases, particularly the plastic sheet that separates layers in sliders. I am convinced it makes the phone loose.
I can wholeheartedly recommend pdair as the best value quality case.
A step up is proporta, normally £10 more or so.
Top notch cases are from noreve - but you need to be keeping the phone for a long time to justify the noreve cost, although it is a thing of beauty
http://www.noreve.com/brand/HTC/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_S740_-_HTC_Rose_Tradition.html
Not sure if this is too late but I bought my Rose about 4 months ago and it came with the mesh slip case. Has kept it scratch free so far and I've dropped it a couple of times ad it has been fine. Good case.

My Japanese S22HT shipped with that mesh case, my S743 had nothing hahaha
I'm using the el-cheapo case that had come with my Cingular 2125 (HTC Faraday) for my S743. It's not the greatest protection, and it's a somewhat tight fit, but it's working out OK.
I was at Best Buy and there is an Eddie Bauer horizontal belt pouch that works well, but I didn't care for the suede interior, as it could retain grit, etc. that could scratch the keyboard. Hey, maybe Clarivue could come up with little squares to cover each individual key on the num pad?

I actually ended up dumping my krussel case as the plastic sheet got snagged in the slider and gradually the plastic just broke.
Now on the hunt for a new case (again).
I just ordered one of the Noreve cases for this thing. I have a tendency to destroy my phones so I needed something and wanted something nice. I'll let you know what I think of it in about two weeks when I am back from Vegas.

GREAT case. I am glad I spent the extra money.
The phone doesn't sit perfectly flat in the case due to the backing plate on the phone. I don't think this is a flaw on the part of the case, just the way it ends up being. I don't even really notice it anymore. I held the case and tried my best to shake the phone loose... no go. That think is IN there.
The keyboard slides in and out with ease and the little tabs that hold the phone down have yet to create any wear marks on the phone from sliding the keyboard open.
The belt clip is great and as best as I can figure, WILL NOT come off your belt accidentally. It can take a bit of getting used to clipping the phone onto the belt clip but eventually it becomes second-nature. When you spin the phone on the clip, it makes a "tick tick" kind of sound as it changes position. This is good for 2 reasons: You can verify, by feel, that the phone is clipped in properly, and you can have the phone hold position at various different angles.
My one beef is that the thread started to come out. This isn't really a huge deal since the side that the thread ends on is double-stitched for most of the length. I just trimmed it and put some clear nail polish on the thread to glue it in place. No problems on that front since.
I love the fact that there is no plastic over the keyboard. I HATE that cheap plastic crap they use on cases. It is such garbage! lol
One other note: The magnet is nice and strong. It is also in position that makes it almost impossible to open up when the phone is clipped in. It is, however, not so strong that it prevents you from flipping it open with one finger. Seems to be perfect strength.
overall i'd give it a solid 8 out of 10: I dock points for: Slightly uneven seating in the case, and thread coming out a bit. other than that, it is exactly what I expected.
WARNING: keep keyguard on at all times. Pressing your arm against the phone when it is on your belt can cause the "call" key to be depressed.
BeRad, it looks like a really nice case! But wow that price is really high (in Australian dollars it's $70.46).
But I guess the old saying goes, you get what you pay for!
hi friends, looking for a clear hard case for my rose or silicone case, both with two separate parts, one for back and one for front, can not find any on ebay, just found this mobilephonecrazy.com/modeldetail/S740,black_silicon_case.htm or mobilephonecrazy.com/modeldetail/S740,Clear_crystal_cover.htm
somebody ordered it ready? there is no real photo, do not like aluminium or leather cases
I have HTC diamond with extended 1340 mah battery and I can not find a holster which will fit in with extended battery on. Any ideas? I need clip on holster which I can clip on belt, like this one.

If you go to this link, they are selling both the extended battery and the case.

heres the website:

There is no case there, just cover.
I'll also be interested in a case which is big enough for a diamond with extended battery, please inform us.
As for Trizo, you need to know the difference between a case and a back cover...
See response below from one of accessory vendors. Contact them as well to tell them that there is a market need for such accessory.

I purchased a leather clip on case from ebay which was designed to fit the standard diamond (I think - there is a little space top and bottom so it could just be a standard clip on case) but the diamond with the official extended battery also fits in it quite nicely. A little snug but works well enough for me.

Can you send a link to similar eBay item you bought.
sucesfull soulotion
ok here is the link to the case
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PDair-Black-A...14&_trkparms=72:1683|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
i can confirm that this case fits the original htc 1350m battrey extended i have bought this alluminum case you must rip out the front plastic screen it just pops out and also you need to take all the stiky rubber cushion from the inside of the case it comes of quite easily but be sure to take your time once all the cushioning has been removed totally and the front plastic screen on the case the htc with the extended battrey will fir very comftably in the case i really like the fit and the case it looks scary at first dont worry it will be fine if you find your phone moves about abit the rubber cushion you took of earliier cut them in small tiny pieces and add them wherever you want you will end up with the best case on the marke for the extended battrey also the case is made from high quality alluminium that used on aircrafts thats why its abit pricy any question or help please dont hesitate to ask irm here to help as allways .pj
Thanks.
I found out that GSM diamond with extended battery is 1 mm higher and 0.5 less thick then CDMA diamond in US. So I got CDMA plastic holster and shaving off 1 mm to make it fit Diamond with extended battery right now. For any stretchable material (silicone or leather) it'll probably will just fine without any modifications.
That looks very good but I've got one of those for my previous device (Kaiser), they fit very comfortabley but the case keeps on opening after using it for a few months and you drop the phone on the floor as the clip becomes loose.

I just bought a black Roots Tek Sock for my Diamond with the official HTC extended battery. Although I still have to take the naked Diamond out to use it, it still maintains its beautiful look. In fact it looks nicer with the new battery, from the back.
My old silicone case does fit, but the front left and right sides are not straight anymore, so it looks lame.
sorry this is off topic but i also have the 1340mah battery but i need another battery cover for this battery mine is broken if anyone knows where i can purchase just the back cover please and thanx
cut the back side off?

Thanks, nice find! I bought a CDMA silicone skin and it only needs some shape up, as the holes for the screen, the camera and for the navigation pad aren't fitting exactly. But now everything's fine.
But why is the CDMA skin so expensive compared to the 2$ skins at DealExtreme?!?
Here's one for a few $,
http://cgi.ebay.ie/BLACK-SILICONE-S...trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1301|293:1|294:50
Of course you would need to punch a hole for the front camera.
i would like to buy the backing for the 1340mah htc battery my son broke mine and i need a back lock fr the battery
I found this one, not sure if it is an actual back cover or one that goes over it.
Anyway if you've got a son it probably means that you are over 16, so I don't know about the style!

Hi
Has anyone had any problems with the
"BLACK RESIN Soft Gel Case for the HTC DESIRE" from ebay
As it is quite 'firm' I'm concerned over time it will scratch or damage the desire's casing ..
Does anyone know of a decide soft flexible silicon case for the desire. One that can't damage the casing...?
any ideas / or comments ?
you might want to look at the invis shield thread which people are using, that seems to do the trick and is good
Thanks. Not sure I like them.
I got one. It is quite difficult to fit the desire in as the case is quite tight. It looks ok though after fitting the phone in
I have been using a 'Gel' case off ebay for about a month now and i too had concerns that it would damage to phone but I have taken it off a couple of times and there isn't a single mark anywhere on the phone!
It was a UK based one for like £2 i got.
Phil
I think a gel case would be OK, but this is a 'resin' case.. which is a little firm..
Thats what concerns me !!
Well mine is like a resin I guess. Like soft plastic material. It is quite firm and takes a bit of getting the phone in/out but like I say it hasn't make a single mark on the phone.
Phil
Cheers Phil..
I've ordered a cheap soft silicone case.. I'll see how that compares..
I had one of the soft silicone ones and although they are good protection wise and easy to get on and off I had a couple of issues with it.
I found that it made the rear of the phone go 'weird'. Hard to describe really but it made marks on the back cover with it being rubberised and having the rubber case on it left marks on the cover. They have rubbed off and dissapeared over time but I only used the case for about a week.
I found that it made the phone very bulky hence why i went for the 'Gel' one.
It was hard to get it in and out of my pocket as it gripped on my clothes too much.
Phil
Thanks for the replies.
The soft silicone case has arrives, doesn't feel as nice or fit as well as the resin case.
But doesn't feel like it will do any damage to the phone.
I'll see how I get on
i have one if those soft silicone cases, and ive noticed that when i remove it the back of my desire is unusually shiny, and now im wondering if that will return to the original non shine surface..
I had the same thing. It has returned to the normal state after using a gel case for a while.

This is why I went with the cheapo Gel case. I've had mine off and on a few times - no marks or anything. I was sending a text in a club and the phone was knocked out of my hand across the floor. No marks on case or anything.
The silicone case I have for my Blackberry is great although it tends to pull everything out of your pocket including the inside of the pocket - little annoying. Although it sticks to everything. you could leave it on the dash board of the car whilst driving and it wouldnt move at all.
pro's and cons. I prefer the gel one personally. Although the silicone stickyness comes in handy.
haha, my soft silicone case lost some of its traction i dont know why lol.
I've been looking around for cases for my desire,
can anyone recommend any sites that sells the resin gel ones the cheapest and has reputation for fast shipping?
I live in Canada, as much as I enjoy buying stuff online, I feel like I have to wait for like 100 years for an item to get here.
just changed my resin case to a soft gel.
Feels better add that to my new pouch that take the desire in the gel case..
Sorted
Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a rubberised g2 battery cover so that I can improve the grip of my phone.
I've found the aluminium back to be particularly slippery so I've bought a cheap case but it ruins the appearance of the phone and makes it bulky
Any ideas guys?
Thanks!
I bought the BodyGlove from Best Buy. It fits well and really helps!
If you search the Desire Z/G2 forums, there are a few threads on cases.....otterboxes, etc..
The OP is saying he doesn't want a case so those other threads won't help. One idea is to spray the battery cover with Plasti Dip (or maybe buy a spare cover to do it). I've never tried before, but I heard someone in the Nexus S forums had success doing it.
OK, I get that now! Why not use a film cover like this:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/T-Mobile-HTC-G2-FULL-BODY-LCD-Screen-Protector-Desire-Z-/230532601851?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35acd057fb
I use it on my Desire Z, requires some patience and dexterity to install, and it added serious grip to the phone. It has a cutout that fits the battery door to perfection!
Any idea why the picture on that is a Hero with the Desire Z's film cover thing
