and a good screen protector too
i bought some cheap crap at ebay its horrible (like 1€ each)

Is the Aluminium case really that good? It looks like it has a hinge on one side..?

What about this crystal case?

I'll wait and see what they say, i explained why i wanted a refund so will see.
Sent three requests that the order be cancelled which were obviously ignored as i have now received an out of stock email...
They emailled me last night to say that these cases are definitely for the Desire but they didnt have a stock photo, and that stock will be arriving around the 5th of May - its been delayed for obvious reasons.
yes, I got a mail saying out till the 2nd May. Argh.

But the photo is not a HTC desire!
I got told out of stock till May 3rd. But definitely Desire specific (not Google Nexus desipte the picture not updated yet).
I had one of the crystal cases turn up in the post today from whitefeatherderby on eBay. Pretty pleased with it though I am bothered how slippery it will be on tables, etc. I also have one coming from Hong Kong too but realised after I ordered it that it's a purple one...

How about this one made specifically for the Desire:

Hi
Anyone here got this case? Looks good, what is the material like? they say its not silicone but still flexible?
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=199613
Okay, just though what the heck for £2.64 , got this one on ebay, sounds the same, will let everyone know what its like once I get one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-Soft-Ge...essories_RL&hash=item3a5a65d0e5#ht_2273wt_772
Can you let me know how the DC Mugen one goes? I'm a big fan of their cases and they said they weren't going to make any so I ended up buying one from somewhere else.
I went for the Epik cases when I got my Nokia 5800 and they protected the phone amazingly. It wasn't too big on the phone and bounced well lol. Really protected the phone.
Ah. Despite buying one from another company, I'm going to get this.
Cheers

i ordered one of these today to replace my nexus gel cover. it looks like an improvement, will see when it arrives
FWIW - the Nexus one case I purchased as an interim case whilst waiting on something better to come out appears to be an Epik case.
The case I got is the one with the red Nexus One badge on the back.
Cost about 3 quid off ebay...
I just ordered a Mugen Epik specifically for the Desire - I bought the TPU one.
Will give you the rundown once I've recieved it.
Anyone know if there is a totally transparent one available in this type. The only ones that I could find are for the Nexus One.
Reviews of this one (any colour!) would be good though, looks a slightly bulky in the pictures but I'm guessing it will be the same as the silcone cases.
Got this one today.Am very happy with it. £2.28 delivered

How long did the delivery take? Any chance of pictures? The ones on eBay seem out of proportion for some reason, making the case look a bit bulky.

i ordered it on 3rd May, so just over a week. it's not bulky, it looks the same as the nexus gel cover i've been using for a month when fitted to me.
i'll see if i can sort some pics out later.
the screen protector that comes with it is one of the ones with the 2 tabs to apply, also comes with a cloth.

Thanks for that. I currently have a Nexus cover too. Think I will go ahead and order it. I did actually want a TOTALLY clear (Desire specific) case but as of yet, all those that I've seen are either tinted or coloured.

Nice one. Your pictures do the case far more justice than the ebay pics. The smoked black is starting to grown on me.
@str355: That's an actual 'hard case' isn't it? I do prefer the 'soft' ones.
mistake.... oops
Mine arrived yesterday (DC Mugen), it's a perfect fit for the Desire.
Just a tad bit annoying trying to unlock the phone, you have to press on the button harder with the skin on, and there's less of a 'feel' as to whether the button is pressed down or not.
So has anyone bought this case yet for the Charge? I notice that they are shipping these now according to their website. There aren't really any good pictures though, just the one of the back of the case. I would like to see what it looks like on the phone and what the coverage is in the front.

Great review. I had the same case on my fascinate and the cutout around the power button made locking/unlocking the screen fairly difficult. I ended up sending it back and getting an active-x instead.
Do you have any issues accessing the power button or any of the the other ports?
If not, I may have to pick this one up. I'm running naked with no holster and it's driving me nuts!
I have had no issues. However, to be fair, I've owned a Seidio case for my past 5 phones so I may just be used to it.

Thanks for the great review. I too have used a Seidio on my Hero and EVO. When mine came in the mail today I was worried about the new style. But like you said, seems to hold very well.
Question. Do you use a second battery? How often do you take the case off? I feel like im gonna break it when i do.
Edit
Question. Do you ever have trouble with the clip between the usb port and the volume buttons? Mine comes undone in my pocket EVERY time. This causes the bottom snaps to also come undone

Negative, but I take it off pretty regularly to keep dust and dirty down (and odin new ROMs). I found our pops apart fairly simply when I start at the slot under the hdmi out.

Yes, though not every time. Maybe once or twice a day... tops. I usually use the holster when I'm at work so I usually don't have the problem. Pushing left on the top piece (from the screen) will recreate the issue. More of an annoyance than a problem (didn't even notice it for a few weeks)!

I've never owned a sedio case before, is it durable? it looks exactly like what i want but i feel like it might be kind of fragile. i've known people who owned cases with 2 snap-on pieces and they always break within 2 weeks of purchasing. maybe they just bought cheap ones?

They are definitely sturdy.
That being said, I find that the holster is what sells me on the product as it's extremely useful for me when I'm at work. Dollar for dollar, if you are looking for a similar case, Best Buy sells one that's almost identical. They'll even let you put it on the phone and try it before you purchase it.

That sounds good, i guess my friend bought a cheap one. the rubberized part of the corners started to peel off, then the clips snapped off about 2 weeks after he bought it. just from your review and the youtube review i saw, it did look significantly sturdier from what he had bought but i was just kind of paranoid after seeing his.
and on the case at best buy, i did like it but i was looking for a rubberized hardshell case, that was the only real flaw i saw with that one. which brings me to my next question, is this one sort of rubberized? i initially thought it was but now i'm starting to think otherwise lol

The Rocket Fish BB case has the same feel as the Seidio. Both are plastic but the Seidio is a hair thicker and has their signature "soft touch" that, IMO, is a nicer feel.

I'm kind of leaning towards the seidio, mostly because i don't like the best buy brand too much i'll probably head down to BB tomorrow and take a look at it again. i really appreciate the help and quick responses

I wouldn't mind the 2 weeks shipping as long as the case is worth it. I love the design but don't want to risk it. I might just get the spigen neo hybrid instead if nobody has any info about the brand or case.
Do a quick search and you would find that this is a quality case brand. They made cases for the s3 and iphone as well.
Most korean cases have really good quality even mercury which is the budget korean case option.
I will be getting one of these soon (red/black) version. If you don't mind waiting 2-4 weeks for me to come back with a review... hang on tight.
Lol I dont think I can wait that long for a review but thank u. U def boosted my confidence. I might just take the leap n get it. I love the red n black one as well. Appreciate it!
i want one of these cases too. i'm afraid by the time it arrives, the galaxy s5 will be out.
by the way, they're available at casefanatic also:

Korean Post is usually fantastic in their delivery speeds.
Anyway, S5 won't be out so soon, not since they announced plans for at "S4s" with the S800 processor.
I did a quick search on araree but couldnt find too many reviews, in english at least.. I do see that they made cases for the galaxy and iphone series in the past but I dont know if that can be used as a testimate to the quality of the galaxy s4 cases.
Thanks !!
Hi, there-!
This is David from the brand araree in Korea. I just found you wrote. Hope you find my reply soon.

Please contact me if you need some more sources...
Thanks for your interest ! :laugh:

Hello, I'm interested in the Amy case, but because of the inconvenience of having it shipped from Korea I would like to see some more pictures of it before buying, if possible of the Moulin Rouge and Chic Black versions. Thanks.
Finally gave in and ordered one of these for my girlfriend and myself last week. I guess I will find out who nice they are once they arrive. They shipped out about a week ago but it says it could take up till the beginning of September to arrive unfortunately.
Anyine fond of the tech 22 d30 cases?

Hope you can post some impressions and pictures! I'm interested in buying this case off eBay, but I am curious on what it feels like before committing.

What does it feel like in the hand? Is it like a matte soft touch finish? Does the case add much thickness to the device?

just bit and purchased the red/black one for 47$ on ebay via EMS shipping, link here for those interested ($31 total for free shipping). I should have it by next Weds. This is probably the prettiest case I've seen for the s4.

a tad bit of thickness. But nothing like a commuter or anything from otterbox. It's still pretty thin. The back plastic piece had a pretty smooth feel to it, but still provides a nice grip. the rubber main piece (As I call it) has more of a matte feel to it if you will imo. Provides good grip. Still waiting to be able to get pics sowy. Should have them in the morning.
So my cases showed up yesterday. Took 10 days from when they were updated saying shipped on ebay. The quality is excellent as stated earlier. My one question will be depending on how the back plastic is colored how well will it hold up to scratches. Almost feels like a painted on finish instead of a piece of plastic that is died all the way through. Thickness wise it is a hair thicker than my Spigen Neo Hybrid case. I took a ton of pictures of my girlfriends pink and teal one and my red and white one. I just need to get them posted up.
So on Ebay there are some new battery door replacements available to buy:
Click me
Anybody here already tried it out? If so, how is it?
Didn't try that one... Just received the carbon and crocodile one from here.
These are absolutely the best looking battery covers I've used. The fit and finish are awesome and they are not slippery like the original. Got them in a week after purchase from Hong Kong.

I own the carbon and the leather one.
While they are nice, I don't like the shiny bezel around the material.
And I hope to get even more grip.

Got this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151076783267?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
It will match the black well I think
Be careful with some of these replacement battery doors if you plan on using them in a case (I know, seems redundant). I got a leather batery door from Ali Express and the plastic cover was thicker than the standard one and not b/c of the leather on it. It just wasn't sized properly so it doesn't fit in any of my 3 cases (Spigen Slim Armor View, Poetic case, random aluminum bumper).
Ooh I'm going to buy the black one. I currently use a stylish blue one with my red aluminum bumper but I think this would look better.

i did maybe a week and a half or so ago, went with the traditional Burberry print, i liked it as the print pattern is very exact, my girl hated it, said everyone will know its fake! (no kidding???). The sides which are black started to splinter off, because the door doesn't flex enough when taking off the back cover which i do often changing batteries. I requested and received a refund and was also told i can keep the back. One other thing the back is not plush, it has more of a wallpaper feel to it and its slightly higher than oem back
