But that`s preorder :S anyone know when it will be released (and what about craddle?)

Krussel has a nice case for the Diamond. Now a place where to it it because i really like this one..

I also like the Krusell case . Not sure I want to risk an invisibleshield after various stories about it removing the paint on the htc cruise.
If anyone finds a supplier in the uk for the Krusell case, please post.

Whery to buy in the UK: http://www.krusell.se/where2buy.php?s=3
One vote to Krusell:
- Horizon with Multidapt - Slim for dropping the phone to the case or
- Orbit Flex with Multidapt
I like the Multiadapt system, I have used it for years.

Mobilefun now have the Orbit Flex in stock, mine arrived yesterday

Also at smartphoneshop.nl
Grtz.

Yeh and it would be stupidly over-priced as well...i like their cases but cant justify spending that much money on one.

I ordered one of these earlier today - I've paid for Saturday delivery - not convinced they were really in stock but hoping as I havent recieved a dispatch notification. I'll update in the morning if it arrives and confirm the Krusell model number although its the only "orbit" one I can find???
***UPDATE*** Case arrived this morning from MobileFun and YES its the Krusell 75365 with the removable front.
http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2994&category=76
The quality is just as you'd expect from Krusell - excellent. They've even added some detailing on the back that matches the "daimond" shaping from the battery cover. I'm very pleased.

I have just ordered this one. I had it for Tytn and Tytn 2 already and loved them. I even asked the guys if they could make one for my Digital Camera from Sony, and they custom made one which fits perfectly. So I had a stylish set for my Tytn 2 and my Sony Cybershot. Swiss top quality.
They speak english, even if the page is in German.

Ordered a Krusell case from mobilefun, cant seem to get hold of the HTC pouch so decided to order the krusell case as ive heard nothing but good things about them.

i like the original htc case most, i just want one where to carry my diamond in. when i use it, i want it naked!
i can get this one for 6,70€ because i have a job in the mobilephone-business, i think that's a great price, isn't it?

Official HTC Diamond case - what what the hell is going on?

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!

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.

Where to buy a 'non-diamond' Diamond Backside

I'm starting to hate the faceted design of the Diamond backside.
Can anyone point me in the direction if getting a standard flat one? I

I'd like to know if this fits the Diamond. The front of the XDA is the Diamond so can't see why it won't fit???

The XDA has rounded corners, so it might not fit. It would be great if it did, though.
I also hate the faceted back. So I sand-papered mine down and then polished it with Plastic Scratch Remover. Started with 180-grain, then 600. I would have used 1200 before polish, but I was out. Now the back of my Diamond got a half-matte finish and it rests steady and flat on a table. Plus, I could fit a thin metal plate for use with my magnetic cell-phoneholder in my car. Though, I can't say it's as pretty as it once was anymore!

I can't find a flat back anywhere. None that look right anyway.

Isn't the o2 XDA the same as the diamond with different back? not the HTC Victor?

If you actually look at the Diamond, there is more designed than just the backside: the stylus and internal edges that go under each corner. In other words, it need a Diamond cover. Though it could still be flat of course. I look forward to a 3rd party flat, rough cover (a millimeter thicker with space a 1200+mah battery wouldnt hurt).

I know, but I couldn't wait. I needed to get it working with my car mount ASAP. I'm thinking that in a few months time you can get flat back-covers with replacements batteries with higher capacities quite cheap anyway, so I can replace the one I made ugly by then.
Besides, I bought my Diamond used and really cheap (1/2 retail) because of an already scratched back cover with baby teeth marks(!), so...

may i suggest you go into a phone shop and fob the virginal salesman off with a "just looking story " then try the back off an xda one. I have the mda compact (tmobs ) version which is lovely and flat and rounded so ill try it on me mates diamond on thursday to see if it fits if you want me too!

Good idea mate try it out and feedback if it works please

believe me, the XDA cover does not fit to the HTC back!
sad but true.

I really don't understand why the XDA Ignito back wouldn't fit to the HTC version i.e. the Diamond??? Its exactly the same phone!
In the case of the T-Mobile Compact IV, then there is NO WAY that the backs are interchangeable as its a DIFFERENT phone (specs might be the same but its a HTC Victor, NOT a Diamond).

But does it have the same internal design where the electronics meet the backside? That's the question. The "designed" backside is NOT just slapped on top a "generic" phone: the internals of the back of the phone is formed with the plastic backside.
I mean there is no doubt that 3rd party could produce a compatible back of any shape and design as long as it match this, but you cant just slap a totally different back on it that doesnt match the Diamond itself, even if it looks similar on the outside.

Why wouldn't it be the same internal design? After all, the front internal design must be the same to fit into the same front cover. Why make the manufacturing process harder? By this I mean, for the Diamond there is one internal style and for the Victor(Compact IV) there is another internal style. It would not make sense to introduce a third style for the XDA Ignito that is a combination of the 2.

I have a telus diamond and the back cover looks just like the the one here. http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=172103

Interesting!...although 25 pounds for a cover is a bit of ripoff....
Does it use the same stylus as the normal diamond one?

Obviously, but is the *back* design the same (ie the design without the back cover)?
From the looks of the cover on the Expansys link, its not. There's no way that would fit a Diamond with the "real" Diamond back. The angles of the bottom area where the USB port resides is a dead giveaway: it doesnt match.

Here is a review of the O2 Ignito, it seems to be same as Diamond (P3700): http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/4wm-reviews-hardware/17424-review-o2-xda-ignito.html
The back is pricey, but so are the spare parts always.

The phone may be the same, but the back design is yet again different. The sides on my Diamond (HTC branded, Diamond back) have far greater angles on the bottom plate. Meaning, a back cover such as the 02 would leave two huge gaps on the side (same angles at the top so it would be hard to even get it to attach).
And that is what will make it fail. The corners arent at the same angles.
This is the O2 back internals:

CASES WONT MATCH PEOPLE!!! Close, but not the same.

Has anyone tried yet putting a XDA Ignito back cover on an HTC Diamond?

Well here i own x2 rubber/ silicone cases & their both fine. Bought them off of ebay & they were cheap 1's (so not like their an expensive version or anything), never had a problem with them, they save my diamond from scratches etc... so I can't fault them here, I can only recommend them

Yeah, I second that. Started with a black one, thats the best. And I've got a 'white' one too, problem with that one is that it's more translucent than white so you can still see the phone through it.
Either way never had a problem with them falling apart. They stretch easily so you don't have to take it off to get the stylus out. Only thing to watch out for is bits of tobacco and crap build up inside it, so I turn it inside out and give it a quick rinse once a month or so.
Overall, 4/5

I own the el-cheapo black one from Dealextreme.com - it cost USD 1.99. It's about three months old and still perfectly fine.
I like it because it gives me much better grip on my phone. I use it a lot on my bike, and that's not a place to use slippery objects.
Have fun!

It was easier to just ask it here before buying it. Everybody could tell you that it wouldn't fit. Although the hardware specifications are the same, the model is totally different.

well i bought this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-TWIN-PACK...14&_trkparms=72:1683|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
and it seems to actually be a diamond case, but fits well tho
hope this helps

I believe he was talking about a back cover (housing) not a rubber cover.

Yes, obviously all cases will fit as it's got the same look but the back cover is completely different.
