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.

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.

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

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
Anybody own/know about Mofi pouch for Desire HD?
According to the seller, it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but would like to know if any of you would recommend for or against it?
Not that it's expensive or anything, just tired of buying crap that doesn't fit properly/feels cheap/etc.

Hi, I've got one of these and they are pretty good. They do clean the screen when you take the phone out. I'm not sure how much protection they offer but I've dropped mine a few times with one on and my phone has survived without damage. Personally I don't like the jewell on top of the phone as it took me a while to answer the phone and also sounds horrible against the metal chasis. So I cut it off, but that's just me. Eventually the pouches do get caked in dust etc, but they can be cleaned quite easily.

Came across this case on ebay, and I very much like the look of it. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this/these types of cases? Also, I remember I bought a metal case for my HTC Kaiser a few years back and it affected the phone signal significantly and I could barely pick anything up at all.
I'm currently using a pretty cool "rubber" type case which was cheap and I'm happy with, but wouldn't mind exploring other avenues too for a aluminium case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I forgot to say.. This is case I'm currently using
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hybrid-XYLO...=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1308667192&sr=1-2-catcorr
I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a soft case
I've heard mixed reviews about these and have never tried one myself, but here you go:

darn. i like the material/build of the aluminum one but i wish it was made so you can flip it open rather than open the case then flip the phone open...
So I'm trying to decide what kind of holster I want to get for my Pure. Yes, I know that holsters are out of style, and frankly I don't care. The phone is too large for me to put in my pocket *and* do my work without worrying that I'm going to bend the phone or whatever.
I had a vertical holster for my 2013 Moto X, but I think that I'd like to go horizontal this time since this phone is taller than my last one. I'm not terribly impressed by the ones that are marketed strictly for the Pure, so I did a size comparison with the Note 4 and found a couple that I liked. But... while the Pure is about the same size as the Note 4 it is a bit thicker due to the curve. So, would you all think that something like this should work??

Urvoix Tactical
Right now I only have the bumper case on, but if I find a slim kickstand that I like I may put that on.
Let me know how you think it would fit in these! I appreciate your input!

I saw a couple unboxing videos where the size seemed to exactly match some other phones (but I don't know what they were.)
I bought a slim $7 otterbox knockoff shell + holster clip. And I will look for something else when they start making more cases. I really like the way the urvoix looks, but the rip of velcro everytime I grab my phone is not going to work for me, especially in meetings.
When I told my wife that I was looking for something with a belt clip, she suggested that I put my phone in a pocket protector and hang it from my fanny pack, so I'm guessing these are no longer in fashion.

Yeah, that's what they tell me at least. But I jump in and out of forklifts all day and move farm supplies all over the place, so I can't do what needs to be done with a phone in my pocket. I'll be unfashionable if it means not having to replace a $450 phone over a hard landing.
There were a couple other canvas horizontal holders that were magnetic, and I thought about them as well.
I suppose I should have done some more research before buying this phone, but I can't find the protective case in stock anywhere. Makes since with this being an old phone. Nevertheless does anyone know where I can find this case, or does anyone have a blueprint for a 3d printed case
I just ordered this case
Should be arriving in a week or so. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.
So Did you ever get the case and how did it work out

Sorry for super duper late response lol. It was pretty fragile. Not a very flattering look with the case. I'm not an expert with 3d printing so perhaps there's a way to streamline the design a bit more. I ended up just applying a skinomi full body skin on mine, combined with a fabric pouch.

A listing is up in eBay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123848778261
Looks like the seller is from Russia though. Plus I'm sure as hell not buying a case for that much. It's basically half of the price of the phone itself.
