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.

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?

A nice Case from HTC

Hallo, see bellow:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130239000947&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003

If this case is also sutiable for HTC P5500 (Kaiser), then it would be way too big for HTC Diamond. Are you sure that you gto yourself a right product?
If you after aftermarket case, then you would be better of case for HTC StarTrek. Perfect fit.
you can pick one of those for 2-3 dollars on eBay. here is an example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/For-HTC-3125-8500-Smartflip-Slim-Phone-Skin-Case-Pouch_W0QQitemZ160254367860
any qtek 8500, imate smartflip, T-Mo 3125 compatible pouch should fit right the Diamond. There are heaps of them on Ebay.
I also have it. It fits, but the case is to big for the diamond.

I am using this case (PO-S322) it is not the same as the one for the caiser,I think it is made for the Touch Dual and it does fit very well as if it is made for the device since the dimensions of the Diamond and the Touch are similar.
Yes indeed, it fits good. im using it for like 3 weeks now and im very pleased with it, i also have my diamond in a crystal case and then put in the S322
Hallo,
i bekomme today my case... it is fantastic.... i love it and it fits very good.

Mda Compact Iv Stuff

I can't seem to find any accessories specifically for this version of the diamond, no silicone or crystal cases, no in-car holders desk docks/cradles i'm having to make do with a diamond silicone case which doesnt fit too well, anyone found any stuff, t-mobile don't even list this on their accessories site (thanks for putting in a totally useless flyer in the box)
You been here :-
http://www.t-mobile-accessories.co.uk/A_HTC_Touch-Diamond_Prods.html ?
I'm guessing not, unless it's only just gone live ....... There's not all that there though, and no cases at all. I'm using my Bugatti case I had for my MDA Touch as I've not found any thing I like yet.

yes i have but i dont have a diamond, mda iv is diferent shape, crappy generic stuff might work but i want a proper fitting silicone case and a proper matching charger cradle.
guess we have to wait until the US/canada release. then there should be more accessories available for the victor

hmm. i wonder what the US/Canadian versions of the mda/victor look like. they come with a 1340mAh from stock.
Might just look like this

I have looked everywhere for an MDA compact 4 specific silicone case, but no one seems to have one. I bought 2 from ebay for the Diamond, but neither fit very well at all and the stylus hole is not in the right place. Why did T mobile change the design ??
I have to agree, it's pretty frustrating at the minute, I mean you can't even get a screen protector at the minute as the diamond one is the wrong shape as MDA has curved screen top & bottom.
Hopefully now that the P3702 has been released in Taiwan and the US the accessories suppliers will start to provide stuff specific for this shape.
Oh and shame on you T-Mobile, i got one of those accessory flyers with mine only to find there is nothing listed for the Compact IV
try here in awhile http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=168071
but you should be able to get some directly from t-mobile, since there were screen protectors included in the retail box.
an we'll probably get different color backs for our mda compact 4, see here
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/15/sprint-readying-a-red-htc-touch-diamond/
and here http://www.slashphone.com/rumor-htc-victor-for-sprint-in-red-151279
already fir for a 1340mha battery.
btw: the htc pouch fits the mda very well.
Still nothing. Something must be out there.
Ya same here,eagerly waiting all the accessories for MDA Compact IV.Loads for accessories are for ugly diamond only at present.
This is ridiculous, someone gotta bring out something for the IV soon.
I too am suffering from the lack of specific accessories for the MDA and I did get 'caught' with a car holder that was supposed to be for the MDA but the MDA is slightly wider... ended up having to shave a ridge off inside the holder (sanded it down as well) and now it's slides in and out a treat (so to speak).
Having said all that I personally think that the design of the MDA is a lot sleeker that the Diamond and even the change of theme I prefer now.

invisible Shield
Finally its out
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
the exim on is excellent foe the mda IV. covers the whole face. leave the zagg one alone unless you want the screen to come off
ful body coverage is not going to work very well as the whole of the bottom section are buttons that are going to be constantly moving and after a while you'll get dirt in it? o.0

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!

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.

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:

This is the Diamond 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?

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
