HTC Desire Invisible Shield - Desire Accessories

If anyone is interested yesterday I ordered a Zagg Invisible shield for my Desire. £14.63 free delivery from here:
http://www.morpethmobiles.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=/AZJ37/-EV-HTC-Desire-Invisible-Shield&cat=627
Does show a pic of Nexus One but was assured by guy on the phone it's for the Desire. Will post how I get on fitting it late tomorrow (if it arrives

I'd be quite interested to see how this works / how good it actually is when you get it.

I would also be very interested to see if it is indeed a Zapp for the Desire and how it fits. I always like to protect my devices from scratches.

Funny that the ZAGG website doesnt have it... thought they are the manufacturer?

Hey guys, i run Morpeth Mobiles and just wanted to let you know that i received my own Desire late this afternoon and have found that it is indeed different to the Nexus one protector. We do now have some Desire specific protectors on order to arrive next week but there will be a delay with any orders already placed. Just wanted to give you a heads up really. If anyone wants to cancel an order please either reply to your order e-mail or send me a message and i will reply directly.
My apologies and thanks for your understanding

so the one you are sending me won't fit?

I have asked ZAGG about this few days ago, and they gave me a link to fill in our device type to know whether there are enough demand for invisibleshield on HTC Desire.
Here is the link that they gave me http://www.zagg.com/hotgadgets/index.php.

Of course it is different from the Nexus One - It is a different phone!

No invisibleSHIELD for Desire....yet
Like boge said above ZAGG haven't made a screen protector for HTC Desire yet.
The following is the email I got from ZAGG in response to my query re the same:

I would recommend clearprotector as they use same material with same lifetime
warranty but for less $$ ( I used both)
Their screen protector will be available within 2 weeks

We arent sending any protectors out until we have the actual desire ones in stock. Everyone who has purchased one already will receive an update e-mail on Monday and we will add a pre order notice to the site with expected delivery date. We have already received notification that the desire specific protector is in production and the turnaround from Zagg is usually very quick.
Thanks
Chris

You have sent me one, it's right in front of me now! Will be sending it back Monday for a refund. Will include note with explanation

Dunno if this has already been posted? Looks like its out for order....

Ordered mine . Enter the comp for the ipad on the home page and you'll prob get discount code. I got 30% off

Thanks for the tip. I got a 40% off code. Now trying to decide between ordering the full body or the maximum coverage option. They are the same price so surely going maximum coverage is more sensible? Are the front and back pieces the same in both kits?

Click on the different options and its shows you the outline of the shields. I went for the max, as i worrry about the sides of the phone which i didnt think full body covers fully....

I too got the 40% off and will probably go with the maximum coverage based on the fact its the same price as full body.

Cheers for the tip on the competition, i got a 50% off code!
Just deciding on which one to get now.

I too another 40% discount code So many thanks for the tip james00000007 . Ive ordered 2 one for the misses also . Went for the full body in the end as it would appear max coverage may be a little tricky and I dont really need it all just want the screen really . Anyway £23 for both delivered 1st class

Where did you all get the codes?
I'm thinking of buying one of these, what is it made of? I quite like the fact it's not slippery in my hands just now

as james00000007 said in an earlier post log onto Zaggs main website you will find an icon in the bottom right corner to win an Ipad all you need to do is click on it register your email address and they send you a discount code. All the info on the material is on their site .Hope that helps

oh, never saw that, whoops.
i guess a more accurate question would be how does it feel? grippy, smooth etc? does it make your phone shiny all over or it is matt in parts?

Interesting chat with Seidio...

I contacted their online sales help chat to inquire about Imagio accessories. Here's the result:
Please wait for the next available representative…
Patrick: Are you going to have any accessories for the Verizon Imagio?
You are next in queue. We will be with you in just a moment.
Thomas: hello
Patrick: Hi
Thomas: Thank you for your inquiry. We haven't got plans to release a line of accessories for the HTC Imagio at this time.
Thomas: I will forward your inquiry to our design team to make them aware of your interest in a line of products for this device.
Patrick: No plans? Really?
Thomas: Not at this time. Now that doesn't meain that we won't eventually release aany products for it. We just haven't got plans to at this time.
Patrick: Wow. Okay, thanks.
Thomas: My pelasure.
Will my phone be joining the iPhone on the island of Misfit Toys? I still have a couple days to swap for a TP2. Should I wait?
Patrick
LOL!..
I had the same talk a few days ago, when I was looking for a holster for my imagio. I really love the clip holster Seidio made for my XV6700, and wanted another one for my new phone. Guess I will have to find another mfg...hope they have the same quality..
Gary
If you can turn it in do it. Don't get me wrong great phone just not as popular and there is more hacked stuff for the TP2. I wish I would have done it when I had the chance.
Not to get this post too far off topic, but myh wife has a TP2, and, while I do like it, it is a brick, when compared to the sleek imagio. I still do like the slider keyboard (I came from an XV6700), but am getting used to the virtual one using fingerkeyboard and bigkeys.
I haven't found any hacks I want that were only for the TP2 and not the imagio. I think it is just that the imagio is newer. I am running the nrgy custom rom with sense 2.5, and it ROCKS!!!

FWIW - I used the SEIDIO holster for several of my past phones as well and was disappointed that they did not make one for the Imagio. I was recently at my local Verizon store and asked the one associate who knew ANYTHING about the Imagio about it, and he said THEY carried one. He went in the back and got one, yea . . . they did not waste display space on an accessory for the Imagio . . . and it is exactly like the ones SEIDIO makes. Perfect!
Hey Brian,
Does the Verizon one allow the phone to be inserted face inward? This was a great benefit to my old XV6700 Seidio one, as it really protected the screen.

I responded to teamgs via PM, but for anyone else who is wondering, yes - the phone faces inward to protect the screen, and there is a felt-like coating on the inside to protect the plastic. Very nice.

I know that it's not the best solution, but if you buy a Mugen 2600 mAh battery, it comes with it's own cover (due to the extra thickness)...
Best Regards
yea i have just ordered one from here http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/toshiba/toshiba-tg01.html it has been shipped today i have heard very good feedback from this particular battrey.I hope that it lives up to its expectations and the hype one user said he got 4 days out of it with heavy use i find this hard to believe but we will see.If anyone has expiriences with this battrey over longterm use please tell us your story and rate the 2600mah battrey thanks.
I have the same problem, I already wrote directly to Toshiba, and wrote off that I can not help it, never want toshiba, what is too mobile to which the cap can not be bought anywhere
I just spoke to the Toshiba UK customer care team and they said they would send me one free of charge. My original is pretty clean but has a tiny hairline crack in one corner. Toshiba UK are absolutely fantastic and very helpful

I had the same problem for months, I found dead TG01 on allegro, talked with seller and bought it for 40 zł.
I think you can talk with someone here to order one (or two) and send it to you, it can be sent in a normal letter so you won't pay much for it.
If you find someone who is willing to help (and would be able to get two covers), please notify me (through PM) I would also be interested in getting one so we can split shipping costs (50:50).
Well my brand new back cover turned up today free of charge and as a bonus a brand new 8GB micro SD card was included free of charge, as I mentioned that my original Toshiba card was very slow to load files onto. Toshiba UK are absolute stars in my opinion

Free delivery offer for docks from Easy Devices to XDA members

I mentioned in another thread that Easy Devices have docks on pre-order for the Desire, the only place I have so far found any - with or without a second battery slot and with or without an additional battery, including an enhanced one with new back. Look at my previous post for the links to the four types.
I placed an order myself for a dock with the bay for the second battery.
Easy Devices picked up on my post and have asked me to pass on a free delivery offer.
"We have decided to offer free delivery on all orders of the Desire Cradle with 2nd battery slot or cradle bundles placed from XDA Developers forum members for orders placed with us before 23rd of April. Could you post and advise the forum? We have amended your order with free delivery and will ship goods as soon as stock arrives. We have been advised that stock should be with us at the end of this month.
Can you ask them to either e-mail [email protected] with their order number and say that they came from XDA developers or to post in the comments box when placing the order."
Any questions about the offer should be made to Easy Devices.
I'm not sure all options are on the same timetable so you may want to check with them first if you are going for a different option.
Just to emphasise I have no connection with Easy Devices, other than as a customer, but it is always nice when sellers offer a special deal to XDA members.
Very nice and generous offer of them, though I do prefer to only other when things are either in stock, or a firm delivery date is known...
Anyone bought from these?

Messaged them, asked if this dock was suitable they replied saying yes it was micro usb or w.e.
but then i read on ciao that they never send items out!

u might want to pm "hasanybodyseenjc", he says he works for morpeth mobiles...well he just joined tho and only got 1 post lol......
just try and see if you any reply
I've bought a few things from Morpeth Mobiles in the past through eBay. If I remember right the contact was Chris (might be wrong there!)
It was years ago, but they were fine each time I used them, with quick and well priced delivery.
Hopefully they are still the same several years on
Oh yeah, I don't work for them and I am a bit of a veteran here. I hope that makes my comments more valid
My guess from the photo is that they have the same supplier as Easy Devices, where it is cheaper and post free. Haven't read the reviews on Morpeth myself, but if they have a bad reputation, then I would avoid them.
I've bought a few things from them for myself & for my work.
We had an issue with 2 cheap Nokia chargers ( we bought the really cheap ones ) and they replaced both with decent nokia branded one.
Very helpful.
Pre-ordered from Easy Devices and hopefully will get free P&P
I wonder if phones with a skin will still fit in the dock? (looks quite snug) or phones withan extended back for larger battery too?

I think the photo cannot be taken too literally as I doubt the final manufacture has been made. I am hoping that the Barely There case, mentioned in another thread, will fit in the dock. I hope Casemate agree to make it, in which case I will order one.

I like the look of the Otterbox case but am concerned about what to do when mounting the phone in the car.
I've just received my DHD and am looking for cases, car holders etc. I like the Brodit range of holders, but guess it won't work with this Otterbox case.
Any suggestions?

aha i keep mentioning this everywhere...i dont work for them...i havent even had mine come yet...i'm hoping for it to come tomorrow...the main advantage for me is not having to take it out of the case!
the thing which annoyed me most about my Touch HD and the car holder was it kept peeling off the InvisibleShield from the back of my phone
@insty - I got it to quote to Australia.....(change country suitably, for 'state' the last option is something like "non-USA/Other)
@silencer - what, you're 30kg and lack the muscle to handle the combined mass of 189GRAMS of the phone/case? I'd consider the extra 5x6x5mm dimensions worthwhile for decent exterior protection. Get over it.
Ended up with a quote of $44 inclusive of postage, 10% discount and exchange rate.
Too bad I have birthday/anniversary presents coming up; waiting on back-pay and will jump on this straight away .
Looking forward to a proper review on it, not that I'm expecting much different to the usual Otterbox reviews/praise.
Tried to order one through Otterbox's website, but they don't like my address, even with the Australia/Non-US state chosen.
So I'll wait for it to turn up on ebay.

yeah I also see the 4 lines, everyone knows how much hassle they are when you order off of their website. It will commonly say still processing even after it had been delivered. They seem to be having a lot of trouble at the moment with the whole process, good luck contacting them. Fill us in with what they reply with
Seems a bit pricey...
What's it made of? Kevlar? Neoprene embedded with microscopic diamonds?
I got a case from ebay:
Go to : cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-HYDRO-GEL-CASE-COVER-HTC-DESIRE-HD-FILM-/160496080523?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item255e4fd68b
(sorry can't post URLs as I'm a noob!)
Does the job and looks pretty good too, stops the phone from feeling too 'slippy' and doesn't bulk out the phone by too much.
Very nice looks neat...

How long does it usually take to ship? I ordered on 11/8, and as of right now it still says "processing" and "not shipped". Their shipping chart says it should only take 4 days. Well that's today, and I don't have it. I emailed them, but like you said also, no reply. I was already charged too. The very next day. They take the money, but then that's it. I'm not in a rush for it, but it would be nice to know when I will get it.

...so i´ve ordered one piece few seconds ago. I have some gel case from ebay, not bad, but its not a worthy competitor for this one. Many thanks for useful info about this case.
Can people post their opinions who have got them? Does it make the phone too bulky, does the phone still feel good in the hand etc
Bonus points for photos of it on... as long as it won't make the phone stupidly large I'm going to buy one

Thanks looks awesome for $60 for a case or cover is way too much especially when bamboo is a really cheap material
oneplus return their official "first bamboo covers" because the wanted quality is not present... don't buy this there are not good quality
what brunsman said...oneplus pulled the bamboo covers because of a quality problem...these are most probably those so i would not buy them if i were you...will be a big waste of $60...or they could just be dodgy chinese knock offs which will be even worse....visit the oneplus forum for confirmation
Better wait until official release
Since the bamboo swapstyle covers were canceled I ordered one for £39 yesterday. Its expensive but I justified it because I sold my invites for £40 so I'm not losing out. Apparently the seller takes 60 days to process and then another week or so to airmail. I'm hoping they will actually ship earlier and this is just incase.
I believe it's taking them 60 days to process because they are waiting for oneplus to make the covers and they planned on reselling...since they are not making them there is no cover to be shipped.

60 day process on AliExpress means you have 60 days of refund. Once you're past that 60 day process duration you cannot refund.
I ordered one and put it on Express shipping, let's see how it goes.

Actually that's what they say. Being in Hong Kong/China I can assure you that they released OnePlus One models built in with the bamboo back. Quality is superb and not bad quality, in fact it's perfect and doesn't have any issues.
Second quote: Pure speculation, yes obviously you can feel suspicious, but you can't raise a fully unbiased opinion without actually having experience with one. I on the other hand have played with the Official Bamboo OnePlus and can say that no doubt it is exactly the same. The labels at the back of the phone are also removable as they are printed on a sticker, not on the wood - which is exactly the same print as the Color OS model's labels.
I'll say that I bought one and will post on here when I obtain it and fit it on my device. Peace out!
Who needs other covers when Sandstone Black is this niiice......
Actually my biggest issue is how to protect the damn thing. I want to keep feeling the wonderful back, yet keep it protected. Is there a case that only covers the edges or something?
So, anyone have ordered and received (and tried) the one sold on Aliexpress??
