Leather style Flip Case - Desire Accessories

I like the leather style flip cases and was going to order a cheapish one off Ebay but seen a review of a similar one on Amazon and it said the magnet from the fastener had left a mark on the screen!
Not sure which one to go for to actually protect my Desire instead of ruining it!

The Noreve case looks great but I found that it does not fully protect the corners of the Desire. I now have two scratched corners - from dropping my Desire.

i just got my noreve case last night.. very nice.. but as said.. does not protect corners.. hoping i never drop mine

I've got the one pictured in this thread (pics on that page, details on first page) and I'm very happy with it. Quit epricey ut very nicely built and feels secure.

One thing any case with magnets (to keep the case closed) will do will be to confuse the compass in your phone meaning Google Maps/Goggle/Sky etc will not work properly.

Cases

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.

1.
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
http://www.noreve.com/brand/HTC/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_S740_-_HTC_Rose_Tradition.html
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

looking for a case. hard/soft

There are so many cases to choose from. Could you recommend one that fits these requirements?
Transparent
Should not cover the three dock pins.
Not too thick so I can still use the google sleeve.
under $10, as most of them are under $5
If you own a case please let me know if it makes it harder to press the power button.
There are a bunch of "Skytouch" cases on meritline for <$4 shipped. Anyone have these?
http://www.meritline.com/newsearch.aspx?category=Cell+Phone+Case&SearchTerm=skytouch+nexus
I just got one from hand held items and the snap on are pieces of crap. I placed a screen protector on it and it made the protector bubble. Wont even snap close
I've been looking for a case as well and so far all I've found is basically junk.
Rubber TPU cases from dcmuggen on ebay are good wont fit in stock case all your gonna find that fit in the sleeve are skins and for those I recommend BSE http://www.bestskinsever.com/cell-phones/smart-phones/google-nexus-one-skin-1.html
Really though to meet your requirements a skin is your only choice if you want great protection though...
Then you cant go wrong here http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3hnx1-bk.htm
Use code LOVE2010 will save you a couple bucks.
Thanks for the info NexVision.
I was looking at TPU...waiting for a plain transparent version without the check-box pattern.
BSE-- Is this just a scratch protector for the phone? The link above only shows a pic of the bare phone.
The seidio is nice but too expensive for me. $30.
BSE is a skin adheres directly to the phone almost like nothing is there just a thin plastic coating basically.
The TPU cases I as referring to where these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300389191608&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I bought the 5 pack since I have one my girl has one and my buddy has one.
The grey and black are the best IMO with the grey it matches the color of the phone and comes with a good screen protector as well.
Heres some pics of the cases http://picasaweb.google.com/nexvision/Cases?feat=directlink
Since then I got my black one in also and I like it. the red sticker comes right off and the empty space lines right up with the HTC on the back of the phone.
If strictly under $10 you really are looking for some junky stuff.
I mean I have always heard about the almost arriving seidio case that i ordered.
and currently use this one which I'm very pleased with the build quality, fit & accessibility of the phone itself:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_11000561_11000885&products_id=28070
genuinely pleased, hope i will like my seidio when it arrives too
I got a silicone case. It fits the N1 perfect and would protect it pretty good from a drop.
http://www.accessorygeeks.com/google-nexus-one-silicone-skins.html
OK, so snap on cases are out.
Leaning towards the grey TPU case now.

I got the case from PDair too.Before I use the product from PDair,I try one from ebay, but the quality seems too worse so, I prefer to buy one in high quality but with higher price.

Desire Alu Leather flip case

Im waiting for the PdAir leather flip case to come up, but meanwhile I spotted this for £20. Works for both Desire and N1. What you guys think?
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....rce=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=pound
That looks a good price £20+vat = £23.50
Proporta are charging £30!
-Joe
Yes. Not bad at all... not sure if the PdAir one is better... below a sample of one on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PDair-Genuine..._PDAsAccessories_PDACases?hash=item335c381f19
I had PDair before - and I do like their quality. The Alu leather one seems to keep the whole screen free from obstruction, which I like...
The problem with the PDair, like the one for the HD2, is that the leather along the sides of the screen actually make it more difficult to use the touch screen at the edge of the screen. I prefer the Clove case mentioned above and a similar design from Noreve.

I agree with that. I had a PDAir case on a previous phone and found it did restrict access to the edge of the screen and also to the buttons at the bottom.
On the other hand, I am worried that the Desire Alu Leather flip case does not protect the edges of the phone from other things in the pocket and, even, whether small coins can slip under the cover onto the screen.
I may have to stick with a simple pouch. (But I also like the look of PDAir's Luxury Silicone Case like they make for the Nexus One.)
Good point.. the sides are open, but I think it should cover if it falls on the floor etc. I think I will go for the Prpoporta alu case, but get a screenprotector film as well.
Just orderered the Alu-Leather case from Clove. Will let you know when get it and how it feels.
Got the Alu Leather flip case today. Looks great!!! Finally I dont have to worry too much about scratching or damaging the phone. It looks stylish with black and inside white leather. It gives access to the headphone jacks and is easy to open quickly to answer calls etc.
Seems keeping the phone sturdy in place and nothing blocking the screen (unlike PdAir).
Will let you know how it feels after couple more days use!!
But looks really stylish!
Is the stud used to close the cover stands over the screen? I like flip cases, but on most of them the studs is just over the screen, and I'm worried about been able to broke it.

The stud.. or magnetic button... stands almost exactly over the optical trackball. But I wouldnt worry at all as the cover is lined with aluminium sheet. Means its well protected from impacts to the front and back of the phone.
How much depth would you say it adds to the phone?
Are you able to upload any pics? Would be awesome if you could, particularly one with the stud closed
Here are few pics... please dont pay attention to all the dust that the flash picked!
It does add little depth to the phone - as does PdAir etc. At least it has a aluminum layer strengthening it, but with the leather its smooth. I got this phone on a 24mth
contract so I want to protect my baby well at least for the first year or so...
Jannen, what is it like taking portrait photos now with the flap at the top? Does it get in the way at all?
Just took some pics... just hold the flip with your left hand. To me, no big deal really... and as it was sunny the flip actually blocked the sun reflecting from the screen. But honestly, I think that is personal taste. I prefer flip cases to others as they give some protection if you drop the phone while using it. Slip in ones dont protect if you drop it while using it.

Stylish Desire Cases

Right now I have a Otterbox Commuter Series for my Desire its a good slim case for protection but sometimes I wanna switch yo something a little more stylish. Does anyone have any suggestions? If so leave a link to where I can find the case.
HTC Desire
This is what i use in conjunction with a martin fields screen protector.
http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/HTC_Desire/Hulk_SMASH
Works brilliantly and stops the phone from being a black brick
I use a case that simply covers the back, edges and corners. It's hard to describe and I can't post an outside link to show, but it basically hugs the edges and corners of the phone, so that it only covers the sides and back.
Mine's crystal clear (I have a decal on my battery cover that I like to be able to see), and these protect the edges and corners without being too bulky. My clear one also provides protection for the decal.
Go custom - get a Casemate slim case and add some stickers / decals to it. I got a few Android stickers from ebay and added them to a Casemate.

Totally agree. This case saved my desire 3 times already (hopefully it didnt fall on the screen side, thanks to the weight difference of the upper part of the phone ).
I've had my desire for over a year now. When I first bought it, I searched ebay for a gel case and some screen protectors. The Gel case only covers the sides and back. The protectors were stuck on and did their job until they were too scratched. Then they inhibit the touch screen function - I noticed this when the screen protectors were so badly scratched it was becomming difficult to see the screen. Since I'm too cheap to buy another £2 batch lot of protectors I've left it off for about 3 months now. There is not a single scratch on the screen.
Also the gel case has provided a very good protection for the rest of the phone. The gel case was shipped from Hong Kong and cost around £5 including shipping. A colleague even found one cheaper. I don't know how they make stuff so cheap over there but the phone is as good as the day it came out of the box.
Just ordered a custom skin from Skinit. It won't offer the amount of protection as my Otterbox but it will stop it from scratching up and add some customization to my device.
Sent from my PB99400 using XDA App
I had a flip leather case but it was a bit inconvenient having to open the cover all the time even though it protected the screen so I got different one similar to the ones people use a lot on iPhones, it covers the back and sides but leaves the screen free. I got them on eBay cos it's cheap and there are LOADS to choose from!
i got the PDair leather case, 18.99 on ebay, works great.
I use the htc mobile case:

I was hoping to get a leather case with my phone. Reason why I thought I would is because when I get the touch diamond a few years ago, that came with a case. Shame really

I second this. Nokia issued pouches with E66 too. Especially since I don't consider price of this plus shipping costs dirt cheap either.
i used a black back cover meshed bought on netimes.com. On this site I bought also an android neoprene pouch
I have been use the Casemate barely there - which is a great case. But it doesnt protect the top of the phone along where the power button is.
I tend to stick my phone in my pocket and I think my keys over time have scraped the top a bit, with tiny nicks out of phone.
But it has saved my phone a couple of times when I dropped it!
I'm also using Casemate Barely There, real happy with it. A friend of mine has the Casemate Tough Case, it's a bit thicker but does offer a bit more protection.

I would recommend Melkco HTC Desire leather case from Amazon. It's stylish designed and protects well of the entire phone with genuine cowhide leather flip cover as well as the hard leather back cover without blocking the ports, camera. I bought one from them and am very satisfied with the quality and the look.

I bought a Jaka Melko too... so SOPHISTICATED (all hand made)! And very protective. I drop from waist height last week, no scratch at all, phone and leather.
Plus, I have a hard gel case, and the Melkco is exactly the same size, no bulk.
Maybe a little bit expensive (28~30 USD free shipping), but worth all pennies, and it really smells leather when opening box.

Great case AMZER Crusta!

Hi folks,
Just wanted to share my experience with this new case that I got last week, it's called Crusta, made by Amzer, I have used Amzer products in the past, but this case is something very different from their regular stuff I have used in the past.
Since, I have replaced 2 screens on my S5 in last 4 months, I really wanted to get something which protects the device, don't want to spend more money on repairs, initially thought of going ahead with OtterBox but I saw an ad on Facebook for Crusta. Having used Amzer in past, I ordered it (even got 25% off part of their promotion!)
Really loving the case, it is a bit on the bulky side, but not as much as an otter box, it is right mix of protection and style, they claim it is 6 feet drop proof, it did fall out of my pocket 2-3 times and no visible damage. The thing i really like about this case is that it came with a very nice and tough glass screen protector and a belt clip. Really neat bundle. The back of the case is very nice and stylish with clear backing. Only wished this case was waterproof, but for $45 its a great buy, I got yellow and black combo, but really good color options, lots of them.
If you are looking to get an otterbox, i would suggest you give this a try and save some money!
Have a look here - www.amzer.com/crusta
I will be posting pictures after I manage to get some decent pictures from my second phone

I've been looking for a case/holster combination and just came across this one. I had previously ordered the Seidio Dilex and was not happy with it mainly because it is so slick. The Seidio adds quite a bit of bulk also but I think I'd be ok with that if it just wasn't so slippery. Can you tell me a little about the holster? I need something that holds the phone safely. I prefer holsters that rachet and need a little force to spin around. What do you think about this one?
How'd you get 25% off? I'm interested in possibly ordering one.

So I also have the Seidio Dilex and I ordered a Crusta just to see what the differences were. Here's what I noticed aside from what the OP stated:
-The belt clip, where it attaches to the belt, has a lot tension so it grabs tightly
-It is a U-Clip on the clip, but instead of a solid piece it is two "teeth" that wrap underneath the belt
-Phone case seems to fit loosely when the screen is facing out/clips in very tightly with screen facing inward (I prefer screen facing in)**
-The rotating clip looks like a gear assembly. When you turn it, it settles into the grooves and won't spin so it is omni-directional
-Online photos looks like the camera would be touching if laid on its back. The outer edge of the case keeps it from touching so no worries there
-Heart rate sensor is easily accessed and works well. Fingerprint scanner will work, but you will have to be accurate since the rubber has no give
-The Amzer is thicker overall than the Seidio Dilex and probably the exact same width as the Seidio would be if the kickstand went all the way up
**Might just be my case, OP would have to chime in
My overall so far is that I like it, but I want to test out the belt holster more before I wholeheartedly recommend it. The case is good and I love the tempered glass screen protector that came with it. The rubber is not slick at all and has a fake stitching look around the front face for aesthetics I suppose? Also, with this case on it barely fits in my Nathan's runners belt. Granted it is the smallest runner's belt, but with the grippy case rubber around it I won't be able to easily take it in and out to change songs or answer calls after I get it in there.
I'd like to post some pictures, but I need some suggestions of the best place to upload them for posting here? I just wondered what others would use and if you would like any specific pictures I am happy to oblige. I'll do a breakdown and couple of size comparison shots with the Dilex.
Edit: I personally won't be using the fingerprint scanner because as I found out, it you register a fingerprint while the case is on you should be able to unlock it. If you register it with the case off and put the case on, it most likely won't accept the scan. My experience was scanning in a fingerprint with the case on and took the case off to take pictures and it wouldn't take my fingerprint at that depth. If you are never going to take the case off this may work for you. However if you have pre-registered fingerprints and you put the case on you may lock yourself out. Just my experience.

I would suggest this case for sure, though I don't buckle the phone to my waist much, but the holster is really nice and high quality, the clip for rotation is also very smooth but at the same time not 'loose'. The video on their site says to put the phone face in for best results, but even face out is ok, the holster really holds the phone in really well.
My past experience with a seidio case for my S4 wasn't that great either, they tear up after some time and the support team is really not upto the mark. This case is not exactly thin, but it's a lot less than Otterbox, also this case has very very good grip on the TPR ring they have provided, so it won't be slippery like Seidio for sure.

I ordered during the independence day sale, i think they have back to school sale right now, which i'm going to use to order a case for my friend's iPhone 5s for which they have the crusta now. Try code BACK2SCHOOL - might work.
I will try to post some pictures today.
Regarding the Amzer Crusta!!!!
OMG that case is beautiful. Just looked online. That is absolutely a find. Called then and long to order.
Thank you!

I made an Imgur album with 18 pictures of the case. I added captions to a few of them to make more sense of what you're looking at. I hope this helps anyone looking to purchase this and if you have questions, just ask.
