what do you keep your desire in.......

desire in?
i have a leather pouch for mine as does my son but my wife has one of these flip type wallets that the desire clips into and i must say i quite like it.
also do you use a screen protector (plastic film thing) again both myself and my sone does but my wife has choose not too, her screen coulours are more vibrant than ours, are there any benefits for me to peel mine off?
thanks

mine's in a gel case with a screen protector (the gel case goes in a neoprene android case when i chuck it in my gym bag).
still perfect after nearly 4 months

Just a leather pouch for me. Tried screen protectors when I first got the phone but never looked right to me. Still in perfect condition after two months.

mine is nude with no screen protector at all, still looks brand new
No need for a case if you look after your stuff properly and don't throw it around.
Same as my Hero, never had a case, sold it in super mind condition, the new owner was like are you sure you had this for 10 months!.

casemate barely there.

I use a Gel case and screen protector. I find the gel case quite beneficial, the rubberised material makes it more grip-able and I'm less likely to drop it. Also I can prop the Desire against the car dash when using GPS navigation and it doesn't move as much as it would without the gel case.

I've had mine for like a month and still in excellent condition. Not a scratch on it. Thought of getting a case for it but thought not to get one. Just been careful with it by not putting other things into my pockets, etc. Shame that I didn't get a case with it like my Touch Diamond

keep it in my pocket .
In all honesty dont have a screen protector or a case. I do get a little paranoid about getting scratches on it but rarely have anything else in the same pocket. So little over over 2 months and still looks perfect

i have a slip case, its built for the iphone but fits the desire great. i don't have a screen protector at all normally do on phones but not with my desire not to sure why i don't on my desire.

Excellent gel case - I've ordered about 10 of these so far for friends and family, £2.95 delivered on ebay, seller is talklinesales. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360259658132 Excellent fast service, they have more stock arriving on Monday.
Don't use a screen protector, use an old slip cover/sleeve for an ancient organiser I had laying around for additional protection in the pocket and a decent lens cloth to keep the screen clean. Got mine on day one (March 27th) and it still looks new.

should be coming soon..... have a screen protector... i hate protectors but im criminally careless with my phone so i rather have a protector.
i hate gel cases..... i love the 'naked' feel of a unprotected phone casing so i just slot it in a pouch
bought my G1 a leather flip case which was very very nice... other then the fact that it made it super thick slightly harder to use..... in the end after i dropped my G1 enough of times i carried it around naked(the phone not me) with a badly damaged screen protector.... poor G1
hopefully this pouch will protect the phone from my rough hands

Like i said in another post, those ones that i paied like 6 euros and they're great

I did the exact same thing. I bought a carbon effect one from ebay (for next to nothing) to see how it looked, felt, protected the phone etc. and when it arrived, i was pretty happy. It looked decent enough and seemed to be of reasonable quality for the price so i put my phone in (which seemed to require an abnormal amount of effort) and then it appeared that the case was a little too tight. I then spent the next 20 minutes attempting to get my DHD out of it and when i finally did the imitation leather/material was starting to tear so i threw it away.
I also decided to buy myself a nice cheap Desire S style silicone/gel case from ebay (once again, for next to nothing) and i couldn't be happier! It offers more than ample protection and it looks great. So i'd advise that if you're on a budget that you stick to a gel case, unless you want to spend much more money on a higher quality leather flip case.

I think I've bought the same carbon case. It's a pain in the butt to get off lol

I purchased my case from Ebay uk the Seller username is phone_giants and the item is listed as"HTC DESIRE HD MOBILE PHONE LEATHER CASE COVER POUCH" hope this is useful.

PDair case
I've used PDair on both my Streak and Inspire, good quality and selection.

Me too,ideal for attaching to your belt as well as it comes with a belt clip,also have the htc one which I use to put into my shirt pocket,comes with a pull cord to pull it out of the case and protects the phone in your pocket/bag etc

I was quite rightly introduced (by the largest Vegan site on the planet) to the plight of animals when it comes to the meat and leather industry. So you might want to consider a TPU case or something else, especially after seeing these videos (i made a quick page).
I use a TPU case and it's been great alongside a separate sleeve. Thankfully there are many other options out there too.

Hi there!
I purchased this:
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-desire-hd-imagnum-cases.htm
The good:
Excellent general fit, durability and overall protection.
In a pinch the lid can double as a kickstand although within a rather narrow angle span.

All in all it´s the best case i ever had.

[Q] thinnest case availble

I am looking for a super thin case, what do you guys suggest?

This is probably the thinnest case you're gonna find for the G2x.

I also have 2 Nillkin cases, which are very thin (thinner than any tpu I've put on), but this one is definitely even thinner.
There are also "skins" you can put on the phone, but if you ever want to use the phone in a dock, then the skin will cause a problem...so I prefer a thin case that's quick and easy to remove.
Here is the ebay link where I bought mine from. The auction is over, but I'm sure if you click around on that page, you'll find another auction with the same case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320735735257&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Wow!!! That's a thin case.

Trident Aegis Case

lol...trident aegis is like the antithesis of "thin case."

thanks mm... that's exactly what i'm looking for. anyone else sell something like that in the states?
how long did yours take to arrive?

Anything from hong kong usually takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive
make certain that you notice there are areas of the phone that go unprotected with this case...it's light, quick to pop on and off, looks good, thin in your pocket. But if you drop it on the street, you're might have a problem.

what else do people suggest? if i wanted to go the full corner cover.

There is a pretty good tpu case at Walmart for like 15 bucks. Not thin compared to the nilkin, but covers the corners
EDIT: and is also one of the thinnest tpu cases i've seen

what's the brand name and do you have a link?

this is the case I have. Its cheap and its very thin. I have no problems with it. The only thing slightly off with this case is that it is difficult to hit the up/down volume button and the power button but its not too bad.

Ive been through 3 cases.
Thinnest probably is BodyGlove Grasp. I'm using that now.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Also, if your e looking for good protection, but fairly thin, easy to pull out of pocket, I recommend seidio surface case. It fully covers the case, but is thin and feels good in the hand. Someone here said the case scratched his phone, but I can't even see how thata possible because it is felt lined. I've had it over 2months now, and not a scratch. I got the optional holster with it, and I use it for most of my other cases. I have 8 for this p phone.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.

do you have link for the body glove grasp? I would like to see that?

Is one corner of the G2x exposed with that case? If so, it's not worth it! haha

My friend and I using that case right now, we ordered 2 different date (different sellers) and I got one with full cover and he got the one look like one on the pic. Btw, good case for the price, fit very good, exept the corner on his case.

I've got the TPU case from Amazon (can't post links, not enough posts yet) -- it really isn't thin at all... The corner is not exposed on the one I have. I mean, it was only $2.80 + shipping.. it fits perfectly, but it is just too thick for my taste, so I never use it. Without the case, the phone is nice and thin, with the TPU case, it is just too thick. The whole point in getting this phone it that it was less than 11 mm thick. With the case, it is more like 13 mm... meh..

Two of the Incipio cases arrived in the mail for me today, one black and one tan. They are actually pretty decent for $14.99. I do like the canvas over the fake leather ones I picked up.

Did you order the Kickstand version? and did it look like the one from the video review 2 posts above?

They redesigned the case. It's a revision. If you look at the iPad one and compare it to the Touchpad one... The iPad one is flat on the inside where the Touchpad has a cut out for the camera.

FBFAN2011 gives you 15%.
Case is $14.99 and the shipping is free.
$12.74. I just got mine today. I ordered it on the 31st and got it today. 3 days all the way from CA. I live in PA. Incipio service is amazing. They offered to exchange the tan one I ordered for the black one since they just got them in stock. I was so impressed with the service and product, I went ahead and ordered another one.

It doesn't look like the Incipio case has the cutout for the ambient light sensor though.
It the case is held with the camera at the top there should be a hole in the top-right corner for the sensor. Otherwise, auto-brightness won't work (which I guess a lot of folks won't mind as the case looks very nice).

I actually got away from auto brightness.

I got the ACase that is reviewed in the video. It is a bit more expensive but apears to be well built. While the video touts the hooked tab that holds the case closed, it sticks out the bottom when the cover is just folded back under. Otherwise this case is designed for the TP, fits extremely well, and seems to be of high quality and sturdy.

Thanks for the info. Mine arrived a couple of days ago. Pretty good for $15, but the camera and home button cutouts are off by about a half an inch. It's not perfect but much nicer looking than the depressing stitched leather case Aaron's bundled the TP with.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 neoprene cases

Hello 8.9 users . I know a lot of people prefer leather cases or smart covers, but what i am looking for is a good soft neoprene case that will protect my tab against eventual drops or scratches, when i'm carrying it around. I don't like the ones where you have to stretch them to get the tab inside, and i much prefer the ones with a zip on the side.
I was thinking of getting something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-Slim-Ne...ltDomain_0&hash=item337143b173#ht_1152wt_1396 but it ships from USA and i don't like the shipping costs and delivery time. The other thing, it lists as a case for tab 10.1 too, that means the 8.9 will probably "swim" in it a little bit. Can anyone confirm this?
Has anyone found something similar to this one (or better), that is preferably shipping from Europe? Please do share what kind of neoprene case did you get for your 8.9.

Can't be that no one likes neoprene?

Yah...most cases are leather or pleather. =) Here are a couple links that might help.

I am planning on getting the Belkin Leather case. They make a neoprene one though too. I don't think you will have too many options other than maybe making one for a DIY project. In the long run though it maybe cheaper just to the pay the shipping and get what you want. Time is money!

It fits perfect. The Model is the A7s. Ignore the models specifically labeled "8.9", they're too big. The A7s fits perfect with no stretching. It's not neoprene, but a kind of pleather. However, it has a memory foam layer that makes it very cushy. It zips all the way open on three sides. I also got this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Case-for-Ga...Accessories&hash=item45ffdeff77#ht_2358wt_814 which also fits perfectly. When the plastic cover is on, it still fits great in the memory foam case.

Looks good. Can you post pictures when you get everything all set up?

Here's an ebay post with a different colored plastic cover, but is the same thing. More pictures. www.ebay.com/itm/Galaxy-Tab-8-9-P73...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item3a702df2dd. As far as the case, it looks pretty much identical to the pictures in the listing. The fit is exact for The 8.9. There is no extra space, either height or width.

I might be a lil late here, but I just recieved the following case, and love it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006WBVU50/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/192-3119395-3706453

most of the cases i picked up were for all galaxy devices so my tablet has a lot of free space to bounced around.

Just wanna let you guys know that i recently got the iLuv sleeve for my 8.9. If you want neoprene and whole lot of protection and soft materials, stop looking, because this is the best one. It fits perfectly, no bouncing around. Payed 24 euros for it, but it's worth it.
Has little triangles on both sides, that add to overall rigidity and extra protection if it accidentally drops, since they soak up the impact. It also has a pocket on the outside, where you can put your smartphone or other accessories. All in all, it's a very nice and high quality sleeve, i'm very happy with it. Here are some photos:
