To be honest, with this phone it will be useful to get a battery especially if you are planning a long journey or trip.

I am currently using puch from G1 -- it's a bit loose, but better than nothing.
Hoping I can find N1 pouch some time soon(ish).

as a temp measure a 4.3 inch hd2 screen protector should cut down nicely

are there no official ones yet?

Possible stupid question
Does using a screen protector degrade the touch screen performance?
I used to have a T-Mobile Vario II and never used a protector and got away with it. The phone went in my pocket and did clash with keys and things occasionally, no detectable damage though.
Do screen protector users let their children out to play? Or are they correct to take care?

Not at all i notice no difference using a screen protector.

i like the look of this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEATHER-Holst...ccessories?hash=item255995c546#ht_2078wt_1161

I have just ordered this one -- for that price + free delivery it can't go wrong
However, I hope I can get my hands on Nexus One pouch some day.

Great, I can't order the official ones from play.com because they only deliver this product in the UK. Really, I mean, reallyyyyyy?

Just bought it for £9.95 just need my desire now

Screen protector from Amazon UK (not tried it myself):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vikuiti-DQC-160-screen-protector-Desire/dp/B003CAQAAY/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1269823681&sr=8-1-fkmr0

I've ordered the Vikuiti ones and they are not good. From what I can see the cut-out is just a simple rectangle, it will not cover the full glass area of the phone but probably only the part that is actually displaying something. I find that utterly useless.
Now I've ordered the ones from BoxWave where they show how they did the cut-out on their website. That's the way it should be done...

There are a few on eBay claiming to be for the Desire but you can clearly see they dont match all the openings, eg, the flash.

Got this one - didn't really like it. Found it too stiff/hard.
If anyone wants to give it a go, I'll mail it for free within EU.
Whoever PMs me first with their address, gets it
EDIT: case was given-away to er_yeah.

i have just got a mofi case for £4.95 it seems fairly universal size but it is lined with micro fiber so it cleans your phone when you put it in.

Surely, you can get the nexus one silicon case (the ones that dont have the bottom covered where the desire buttons would be). They are practically the same size, give or take fractions of a mm here or there.

Anyone found a good silicone cover/skin yet?

[Q] Best, most protective case for DHD

Read all about the otter case in a review for the straight desire - the defender model it was.
I wasnt overly impressed.
So in light of this can yuo accessory experts point me what YOU think is the best usable (I.E. doesnt look like a tank or bomb shelter) case. I am thinking somethin silicon?
anyway, would really love ya expert opinions! I need to protect my phone - more frlom falls than anything else, am a fairly cluimsy 6'4'' so it has a long way to drop!
respect!

I made it yesterday to try and help people to decide what to get as a case for their HTC desire HD. I tried the HTC S550 pouch and 2 silicon cases. Didn't really know what I was going to say so I just started talking and showed my DHD a little with its accessories (still in love with it) but at the end I dropped my Desire HD on the floor luckily my appartment is all carpet

I bought the exact same gel case as you showed in the video (grey). I bought it from an ebaystore called Londonmagicstore. I paid 3gbp including shipping to sweden. Fast and reliable. As I don't have the DHD yet (is to be released next week in sweden) I hope it fits.

Helpfull video mate. I just ordered two silicon/gel cases from Ebay myself and they bought are coming with protective film for the screen. I am really looking forward to getting them as I am paranoid about damaging my new DHD.

Thx for the video - off to watch it now!

The best protective case by far, and the case I use on my HTC HD, Samsung Galaxy s and HTC desire, is the Pdair aluminium metal case.
http://www.pdair.com/
Unfortunately, for some strange reason, they don´t plan to make this case for HTC Dsire HD
If you are interested, drop the a mail and request that they make a aluminium case for the HTC Desire HD as well. [email protected]

Just thought I'd vouch for the eBay cases! Remember, they all come from the same factories in China, you're only paying extra for the branding 'SuperShield' 'MegaCase' etc. There are some exceptions but very few. I bought my case for £2.35 with a screen protector and it's perfect, a great fit and nice feel! I've never spent more than a couple of pounds on silicone/plastic cases or screen protectors and all of my phones remained in perfect condition months after I bought them. Will post links soon.
Regards.

Cannot see anyone being unhappy with this case..... £2.65 an absolute bargain.
eBay
Regards.

just bagged one of those from ebay - so thanks and yeah will feedback what I think of the case and protector!

£2.65? The price following that link is £29.65?
Edit: Strange, but found the cheap ones must of been a mistake!

just paid under 3 quid for it.

Now that is strange! When I click the link it says the seller has updated his listing and the price shows £29.65!!! I've emailed the seller to ask what is going on as it definitely was £2.65 this morning. Maybe the increased traffic spooked him .
Anyway just to reinforce my point regarding the branding of goods from the same Chinese source, here is CaseHut's listing for the ORB Gel Case..... look familiar?? £5.99 plus postage..... hmmmm!!
Anyway, the case fits well and gives good protection. All buttons are placed correctly and the camera lens, flash and charger port all have good access. Hope this shows that you can keep your expensive phone SAFE without breaking the bank.
Regards.

I received my silicone case I paid 2.95 for on eBay today and the quality is great the fit is perfect and it doesn't make the phone too bulky. Another thing is the case makes pressing the power and volume buttons a lot easier
So overall I am delighted with the case.

metal case here for 15 smackeroons...sems ok. anyone bought this one? Any good?

I guess the seller hopes that someone actually buys it without noticing the high price. He must know that others recommend this product, and well, sneakily tries to make huge profit....

New DHD Leather Case

Yesterday i bought the official DHD case from a HTC Outlet and my am i amazed,
Its sleek and amazing.
Best 10£ ive ever spent XD, but im looking for a stylus for it , where can i get one?

Why would you want to use a stylus with a DHD? Its big enough to use with the thickest of fingers

only reason is im a keen drawer and i have things like Sketchbook mobile etc on it, and for a drawing to look really good , precision is the best thing i can get for it, my fingers are thin but really get in the way if you want fine detail,
but granted you do have a point

I have the official HTC DHD case but got sick of taking the phone out of it all the time, luckily my bro bought me the Case-Mate Tough which is a lot less hassle.

I got the Seidio Innocase Surface and Holster combo! Amazing duo.

look for a styles at amazon
there are more than enough styles for our touchscrreeens;

I see, well there is that HTC capacitive screen stylus from when the HD2 came out which the last time I looked was on expansys.com probably get it cheaper elsewhere though.
This is it but its just like using your finger as you can see.

I have one of the pogo sketch which I used for my ipod touch, but drawing on autodesk sketchbook with my DHD was a problem because some how the screen doesn't detect my stoke as a single line (ie. it was broken down into few segments) and it is impossible to use it.

Hi,
I bought the same case - it's great! I don't use it all the time, only when I know the DHD needs protection from things like my keys.
I've tried silicon cases and those slimmer cases but nothing is quite as nice as the "naked" DHD

Purchased the same case a day after I got my HD - been an absolute life saver, only issues is it does get lose after months of use... be careful whipping your phone out of your pocket!

I have been using mine for about a month now (maybe more?) and it is still a good fit. The cardboard that stiffens the case has gotten a bit softer so the case flexes a fair bit more than it used to, but this hasn't impacted on the performance of the case.
Still a great buy!

[Q] Original Htc Case for Desire S

Hi, i'm thinking on buy this Htc Original Case for my Desire S, but i can find only this image on all kind on web-sites i searched, no one video or a photo with this case on the smartphone.
Can somebody help me posting some different photoes of this, maybe a video? Thanks a lot!

i looked around the internet and saw this case on mobile fun:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/official-htc-desire-s-tp-c580-tpu-skin-p29231.htm
It says it's the official htc case and has 2 good reviews. Doesn't seem to look like the case in your picture though.
I didn't even know htc made cases though! I thought they only made pouches.

is the same site where i found the case i ask for, is under productors htc, i can't post external link yet, but is on sale on the same web-site you linked, but there is only the picture i posted, i can't find out how is when applied on the DS and of what materials is made (appear to be in cloth over the first strate of plastic, or polycarbonate idk)
then again, no one have bought this case for a little review?
p.s. there is also on htc shop

i checked again on htc shop, the exact code is HC C580 and the description say:
This hard shell case is designed with counter moulded front and rear casings to give the maximum protection for your Desire S.
The middle part of the case is made from a PU plastic based material.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so maybe is made of something like cloth, but i can't still figure out how it cover the DS.
Still waiting for a Review ^^

This is brand new...to b released in a week hence no reviews yet. I have the htc tpu original case, which is pretty gd. Best ive found tho is the propora mizu shell.

thanks! i bought one of these 2 days ago :\ now i'm thinking to refuse or not it. With thse photoes don't look as good quality as on htc website... is really simply plastic, maybe a case mate can be better... i'll let you know in these next days.

As there not being many branded options available in India, I have ordered almost all kinds available on eBay India, including a few screen protectors.
Fake capdase is all over the market but pathetic quality.
Don't really like the silicone kinds, they attract too much dust and if it's a black one, God help you keeping the dust and fibres off!!!
The mesh ones without protection for the top and bottom corners is useless.
Then came the Amzer soft rubberized plastic case, have been using since 3 months and has served well during the 2 accidental drops. Full all around protection.
Have a matte finish screen protector on as of now, helps cut the glare down and improve visibility in daylight but the screen looks very dull if brightness is turned down. Good thing is it does not smear & stain with fingerprints and is actually scratch proof.
Tried the most expensive indian branded scratchgard screen protector but was crap, too much glare and scratched all over within the first couple of days.
Pics attached.

HTC Original case

I found a case with code HC C740 in a shop in my country...ordered after looking on many sites and pictures with that case...I also found an youtube video about this case..received today....WOW!...AWESOME!...superb finish, personally i think that is the nearest finish to the original...I will post some pictures later, when I`ll be at home...I think that is the best and beautifull case for our lovely device.
Edit: I have the black version of OneS.

skodann do you have any pics of the case on your phone?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp3HKssPHm0
Check that out. I got the same case and it's really nice.

Speaking of HTC cases, anyone seen if that kickstand case ever surfaced? Been looking all over.

I just saw it today in the store, it was a black one.
The kickstand didn't feel too sturdy and the case was a bit bulky, however, I thought it added some substance to the phone being it's almost too thin.

Do you mean this one: http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-one-s-hc-v741-hard-shell-with-cover-and-stand-black
It's the one I got with the phone and from the looks of it, it's actually the same hardshell as the C740, but with an added leather cover for the screen which can also be folded over to use as a stand. Excellent quality and really like it. Two niggly things to note with it are you can't have it plugged in while using it as a stand, and as the leather on the outside is facing whatever surface you have it on while using it as a stand, it can slide about quite easily when trying to use the phone on smooth surfaces (to be clear this is when trying to interact with the screen - e.g typing - not while it is just sitting playing a video). Both minor points for me, and I would recommend this case over just the hardshell due to the screen protection and stand function.
tl:dr version
+excellent htc quality
+screen protection
+stand
+doesn't add much bulk
-can't charge while using it as stand
-can move about on smooth surfaces when using as a stand

i think these are the cases that some are looking for, but they don't seem to be available yet.

I saw those original case and the kickstand in a mall in Toronto !!

I bought the Original HTC Clear-Hardcase and Screen Protector yesterday.
For each I paid 11,99€ which is f*n expensive in my opinion, but I think its well worth it to have original accessories on my baby.
( Original ) Screen Protector
I know this is not the thread for this, but I´ll show it anyway
HTC Clear-Hardcase
Both Products are Tripple-A Quality.
The Screen-Protector Package includes 2 "films". If applied correctly you wont every recognize that theres something on the screen ( like on the photo above ).
I also really like the Hardcase, the only problem with this is that its a little slippery on smooth surfaces.
EDIT:
Both Images are a little bit out-of-focus, since I used a 50mm Objective to take those.
I can take new pictures with another one, if requested.

I got the black case the day after I got my phone, around 5 weeks ago. The finish feels very similar to the black phone itself, with the colour matching.
The case is very slim, and you really wouldn't notice it was there. It adds no real extra size to the phone.
My only small issue with the case is that the top and bottom of the phone are exposed still. I'd prefer a little more coverage, but overall, the case is pretty awesome.

looks a LOT like my case
casemate barely there:
