seen some nice cases for the N1, will they fit the desire or are there some buttons that wont align properly??
thanks
the gel cases with the red nexus one on the back (< £3) fit the desire. you can use the power and volume buttons through the case, everything else can be used if you line the holes up when you fit it.
thats the only one i've tried, but have now ordered one made for the desire to replace it.
thanks for the reply mate,
was looking at this:
http://www.ultra-case.com/product.php?pID=476
which is made by the same people as the gel cases..thought id ask first before spending around £15!!

I bought similar from ebay, but for a lot less than the one your looking at, shop around.
Only thing I experienced is that due to the Desire having a "chin" it stretches the case to make a very tight fit (hey it's silicone so it gives) and this only shows in that the power switch recess in the cover is slightly offset from the handset. Doesn't hamper anything though
@beaker656 you dont happen to have a link to the ebay one you bought do you??
thanks
ask and you shall receive

Excellent thanks, just bought it.
Bought to say. I have one and left feedback about it lastnight.
Any pics with device guys kindly!?
Lining?
Ordered one as well. Will post my review.

Read the feedback and most say it was great for the price. One person gave it neutral feedback saying it was a tight fit. My concern would be if its that tight a fit whats the inside lining (if any made from? Is it likely to scratch and leave marks or cause wear on the phone by constantly pulling it in a out?
Is it hard or soft case? It seems to be hard in the photo (or at least a little), but I'm not sure. I'm looking for a hard one

Waiting for it to be delivered but should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know when I get it.
Nice soft leather case - very happy with it
Got mine today.
Awesome case for the money
mine finally arrived. it is very snug, which is good, nice fit and for its price its pretty good. overall I wanted something smaller really, i'll prob buy the sena ultra slim but this will do until that arrives.

Nice case. Good price, speedy delivery. Not too tight on the phone. Just perfect.
Has anyone got any pictures on how this fits? and do you think a desire with a Flexishield skin would fit?

I personally dont think it'd fit in the case with one of those one, they seem to add a bit of bulk too it. The phone is already quite snug without putting one of those on. I dont have a camera but still have my old X1, will see if I can get some pics up.
I took some pictures of the phone in/with the case to get an idea of what its like. The phone is in alot tighter than the pictures show as you cant even wiggle the phone whilst its in the case.
Hope these help

Edit: is there anyway I can rename the thread title to say that the thread now contains pictures?
Does the job nicely but don't expect high quality. Superb however for £2.90 and only took 2 days for delivery.
Just an update a couple of weeks on. I have noticed that the pull that lifts the phone from out if the case is beginning to mark the battery cover as it sits inside the tight fitting case. Might not be worth it after all.

Have had the same thing on mine after only a few days, but as the mark seems seems pretty irrevocable I'm going to stick with it. Can always buy a new battery cover if it bugs me too much.
Hi Guys
I saw many different suggestiong from different people regarding the leather cases and other cases.
In addition i know there are many different cases for nexus one.
I am looking for Gelli case or soft Silicone case for HTC Desire.
Examples for what i am looking (I found it here between the other people suggestions):
1- http://ultra-case.com/product.php?pID=415
2- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120527097735&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
If someone found already where i can buy these (above) for the HTC desire , plese share the info.
Thanks
I'm looking for the same. Firstly, I can't believe the phone didn't come with a basic case but I am even more surprised that there are not silicone cases made specifically for the Desire.
Why is this?
I've ordered one from morpethmobiles.co.uk - was posted today so I'll let you know what its like once received.

I think because it's new phone so it's still not fully adapted by the providers. I hope we will see more accessories for this phone soon.

Received today - it's the made for the nexus one unfortunately so there's the hole in the back for the noise cancellation on the nexus. Was hoping it would be a good fit - and it is once it's on but it's a bit tight, it goes on with a bit of tugging and stretching it. Undecided about whether I'll keep it or not yet.
It's fairly well made and will provide good protection on the back and sides, although it appears to have a slight manufacturing defect in it, a small flake of black paint or something actually in the material.
Access to the bottom buttons is fine, with slight misalignment with the power button and it makes it a little harder to press the volume buttons on the side due to the thickness of the material.
I have the same nexus one case for mine, it has been doing a good enough job for me, the nexus badge was easy to peel off, and it fits okay.
Can still use all the buttons fine, so I'm happy.
There is that random odd hole for noise cancelation, but really I'm only using it til I can get gelaskins, and at that price I really can't complain

I've emailed Capdase regarding the availability of their Soft Jacket 2 Xpose and this is what I got:
Dear Harvey,
Thank you for your approach
The mention cases (Soft Jacket 2 Xpose) for HTC Desire A8181 which as under production and will be expected at around end of May

CAPDASE
I've been using capdase for years now and so far I've found their product to be the best. Yea so I guess capdase fans would have to wait for a month or two. For the meantime I'll be using a simple soft pouch once my desire arrives.

Great, let us know if you get something valuable.
I'd like a case like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-New-Silicone...Accessories&hash=item414f16ef5b#ht_1875wt_968
but will the trackpad be still usable?
I buy my cases from http://stores.ebay.com/dcmugen but they stated they weren't doing a desire case (although there appears to be one on there) when I emailed them a few weeks back.
The last ones I got were for my Nokia 5800 - http://cgi.ebay.com/2-SOFT-Crystal-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a50c8bbad and the build quality is amazing.
Lets hope they make one for the Desire otherwise i'll be stuck with the one from Morpeth Mobiles http://www.morpethmobiles.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=/73/SD_HTC_Desire_crystal&cat=627
I ordered one over 3 weeks ago but due to the whole Iceland fiasco, I still haven't received it.

More silicones are starting to appear but do you guys know how easy the front button section is to scratch or dust?
I've seen one with the silicone actually covering this controls but not sure about it. The other cases leave them exposed.
Hi
Anyone here got this case? Looks good, what is the material like? they say its not silicone but still flexible?

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.
i was just wondering has anyone tried either of these case as they look really good

i noticed the second doesn't have speaker holes so not sure what it would be like and i was wondering has any1 tried it and how they thought how good or bad these case where? thanks in advance
not yet, but yes they do look really good.
we have sooo many choices for silicon style cases, that is a good thing
I have this one:
iTALKonline ProGel BLACK Super Hydro Gel Protective Armour
(look in amazon.co.uk, it seems I still can't post outside links)
I like it but the side buttons are a really hard to press. Almost impossible to adjust the volume with one hand while on the phone.
Now the first one you posted looks really nice. It seems to cover the side buttons as well but I like it.
http://mobile.brando.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-jelly-soft-plastic-case_p05570c1355d011.html
This one is great, I have a transparent one.
i've seen those on ebay, we have a link of that on the Case topic
Just don't buy these cheap case. Side buttons are not usable, it's just waste of money. It's better to add a 10£ extra and get a quality one.

So I have a folio style case currently which I like a lot. Fintie is the brand I believe, it does not cover the buttons and I know this isn't really a new issue but I know people had button issues. Well it popped into my head cause I have a Nexus 6p that I bought two different cases for. One case made the buttons so clicky and tactile it was great. I don't have experience with cases that cover the buttons on the nexus 9 but to get the point is there a case for the 9 that covers the buttons which would at the very least give a different feel to the buttons and is also folio style? It seems like all I can find is a cover style or a folio(with a shell and cutouts), I can't be the only one to want or think of mixing the two styles?
Use HTC Magic Cover Case
You should use HTC magic cover case for your Nexus 9. It comes in a variety of colors and its body is also pretty much strong. One of my friend is using it.:good:

You're not. I searched a lot for a case like that and, just like you, never found a good folio that has the buttons covered (like in the Ringke back covers).
And no, the HTC magic cover is not remotely close to what the OP is asking.
