these look great, but where does the background wallpaper come from? Is it sent across as a file to upload to your phone?

woah.. that is quite overkill

I believe so.

Check the faqs section, seems like it's available for download in the email confirmation you receive upon purchase of their custom skin:
http://gelaskins.com/faq.php#Question15
No screen protector included it seems.
Here's a video on YouTube demonstrating how to apply the skin on the Nexus One. Guys, this brings back nightmares of me applying my screen protector... it looks a tad fiddly!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm33YleWEJA

I used these a lot in my (ahem) iPhone days. They're much easier to put on than screen protectors/invisible shields etc as they're more of a sort of thick lino sort of finish than a floppy bit of acetate.

Thank you mate, very reassuring
What's it like to remove, any sticky bits left?

It was fairly easy actually. There were a few sticky bits around the edges but only glue. None of the surface plastic was torn off when removing the sticker.
When are these coming to the UK? I just tried to order one and it wanted to charge me $20 for shipping. Liberties!

These skins look great, but a set of skin costs $23 including shipping, I'll pass!

I think they look great. I wouldnt mind designing one myself but they dont seem to have the Desire template ..

HTC Hard Shell Case (OEM)

Has anyone here purchased one of these cases that were made by HTC for the G2? Just saw a video of this on YouTube and was very intrigued by it solely for how the top shell fits on the case. You can see in the attached photo I make a note of this slight design change, so that when you open up the keyboard the top part (display) fully extends. I bought one of the cheap ones on Amazon and it doesn't have that cut-out. I think I'll try carving that part out myself with my Dremel as I can't full extend my keyboard, but these HTC branded cases look really nice. So far I've only seen them come in a bright blue, red/pink and neon green color. I'd love to see a video on how hard it would be to remove the case from he phone, as that cheap Amazon one is a ***** to take off.

I hate the fact that my cheapo doesn't open all the way without a little bit of persuasion. Thanks for sharing.
Sent from my HTC Vision

I decided to take the plunge and ordered the black one. The youtube video sold me on it, and even more so that it's made by HTC. Can't wait to get it, and I'll share pics and maybe a video of it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

My case is molded just like in the pic. Bought mine off ebay for $2.87 don't see any difference other than mine is clear smoke. It fully extends as well.
Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted/GFree'd
Rom: Latest Cyanogen
Recovery: CWM waiting for Amon_RA

I bought my case on amazon for about $3 and it has this cut out for the keyboard. I do like the HTC logo and door tracing on the back.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Just ordered mine. the video sold it to me as well. good review. looks real smooth

That looks nice. And it's half the price of the Otterbox. Looks very Seidio-ish. Hopefully we can get some reviews
It's out of stock BTW. ~_~

http://www.thecellguru.com/Products/26441
This is what I usually think of lol

Cool. I found another site that offers them: http://www.talkietech.com/t-mobile-g2-accessories.html

Bought the black one from wirelessground a week back. They shipped pretty quick and free shipping with code freeship. I like the case. Doesn't interfere with the keyboard out, makes it easy to grip, and only adds a little bit of bulk.

Wish I had known about that free shipping code, but it's only $4 so not like I just threw a chunk of cash down the toilet.

I'll do a review of the case once I get it, and like I previously said I'll take photos and hopefully do that review via video on YouTube.

I have the black one. It feels smooth, not too heavy, and it opens and closes right just like a charm. Definitely worth it. I don't see myself getting another one!

i think im sold on this case. reason is...the keyboard side and screen side both have the cutouts so the phone will lay completely flat when its open. now if they would make a spring clip holster like the one they offer currently, but that fits the phone with the case on it.

These are 9.95 on Android Centrals store right now.. but shipping is $16.95 to Canada.. wtf
http://store.androidcentral.com/htc-hard-shell-case/4A123A7622.htm

I received the black HTC case last night, and will be working on a video review which I'll share here. Hopefully I'll have that done by the end of this weekend.

I bought a few from amazon, but needed to file down the tabs so there wasn't as much of a gap, and so I could remove more easily when necessary.
I bought the red "metallic" HTC case from android central- and put the others away... its perfect, tactile and less bulk than the others. Higher quality, and I didn't need to use a file.

black one out of stock

I wasn't able to do a video review of this case as I was under the weather this weekend, but I would like to have one done soon. Overall, this is a great case.

Does that have the trimmed side (top piece on left side) to allow the display to fully open without interfering with the top row of keyboard buttons?

[UPDATE 28] PICTURES AVAILABLE !!!! <<<<<Carbon Vinyl>>>>>
IF you looking nice vinyl for you phone ! (carbon)
Do not Order from

http://www.clearprotector.com/lg-optimus-2x-t-mobile-g2x-carbn-black.html
I didn't received any notification or conformation about my order from Clear Protector.
I try to call, no answers.
I try to contact by Email, no answers.
_________________________________________________________________
I order another one from "Phantom Skinz"
: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Carbon-..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1306165205&sr=1-3
In same day I order I got notification: "you shipment was sent !"
So conclusion : ONLY "Phantom Skinz" !!!!!!!!!!!!
_______________UPDATE:
I got vinyl from
<<clearprotector.com>>> $19.99
my rating from 6 star- 4 star !!!!!!! because
Skin don't cut perfect ! Like some one "drinking all night", and in the morning with a hangover he began to cut with knife (you can see on photos)
PLUS long delivery, and no conformation about shipping!!!!
What's the feeling when you holding a phone? Feel like u got another phone (richer than the pre-assembled ), ....I like it very much.
So conclusion : not recommended to buy from www.clearprotector.com
________________________________________________________UPDATE 28:
So I got Vinyl from phantom skinz. it is more expensive, 29$
my rating from 6 star- 6 star !!!!!!!
Because "product quality is at the highest level". Please if you like this kind of Vinyl (carbon) buy only from phantom skinz!!!!!!
I got full body protect !!! (front (2 pieces transparency tint), back, and sides) I did only back (I bought this vinyl is not to protect )
phone in the hands, feels a much more better than from "clearprotector"
PLUS you got IN BOX ! with full instruction and other and other stuff.
(vinyl cut with extreme precision!!!)
SO check the pictures:

With the weight youll be losing by going carbon fiber, your phone will feel like your on a 5g network when browsing!!!! does it have vtec?
p.s. just messing with you, it looks cool, post some pics when installed.

Most companies that make these also include a screen protector. Which is clear, not carbon fiber.

People should note that the case isn't made out of carbon fiber. It's carbon fiber style. The case does look good though.

Looks nice! I just ordered mine yesterday, and went for the white one instead. How many days did yours take to arrive? I'm hoping mine arrives soon because they stated shipping will be first class mail, but I got confirmation that it's being sent using parcel service.

[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.
Sent from my HTC Desire S

Where can you see the relase date? i checked again on 3-4 web-sites but i can't find the age of this product. Maybe you are right, but i just wat to know how to check it

Its on mobilefun website and expansys. It looks smart but doesnt cover the bottom lip from looking at the photo. Let me no if u buy it, for a review. Thanx

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.

Here are the pics
Pretty happy. Ordered friday night and recieved it yesterday(tuesday). It was supposed to have tracking but i didnt get en email for that. Didnt matter anyways since it came in lije 3 days
Came with the back and these two small front pieces for the top earpiece area and the bottom lip.
Easy to apply. Came with simple instructions for the back. After applying ur supposed to run a credit card or somthing similar down the lines to get the skin to show the line/pattern of the back. So far none of the skin has lifted off where it was pressed down to contour to the pattern. **** looks nice as hell with the pattern shiwing. Almost like a replacement battery cover
Ive ordered a total of 4 skins from dbrand in the past and these two brands seem similar in the vinyl they use.. Although i do remember my nexus 4 skin being a little thicker( mohaganey wood) and i dont think that material would play well with the v10 back pattern. Probably why they dont make v10 skins
So far so good hasnt peeled in any corners from jean pocket. The storm trooper look is awesome
Sorry for pic quality. Had to use wifes iphone

Looks great. Sadly 4tified don't ship international.. But looks great...

More like USPS is the culprit. Their charges and filling out the ridiculous paperwork is one reason I don't ship outside the US. It cost me twice as much to mail outside the US, plus the extra time it cost to fill out the paperwork and actually go to the post office.

so how long does that aramex take to ship to you? I used to trade/sell phones here on xda back in the day and on cto and people always asked me about shipping to their forwarding address. I always refused cause i thought it wasnt safe. I also have some family in the philippines that i ship stuff to but shipping costs gets expensive. looking for alternatives.
post some pics when you get your skins. i feel lonely
i also messaged them on instagram about more colors. they said they are going to bring 4 more matte colors at the same time they put up their iphone and echo skins. didnt say what colors though.

Yeah. Still sticking no signs of lifting. My matte purple hasnt been used because im waiting until this white carbin fiber starts to peel.
I do have to wipe/clean it a lot because of the blue dye from my jeans. Its pretty easy to clean though.
