Hey all,
I've got mine on pre-order and have been looking around for ideas about what comes in the box. I found this: http://www.slashphone.com/htc-touch-...unboxing-16485 and various other links to the same sourse.
It appears you get a charger, headphones, USB lead. However, there is no case?
There were rumours around that the special self-cleaning case might be included: http://www.phonemag.com/htc-touch-di...deo-052706.php but this is not present in the unboxing pics. For a phone to come from HTC without a case is a little strange...
Anyone found anything more about this???
I don't think it's gonna be in the box.
The case is about €15
case
O2 Orbit didnt have a case either, maybe thats just O2 but it does show they will drop it if need be
I think the Orbit 2 does come with a case AKA Touch Cruise

true. bought 2 orbit 2's and both had a case. they came with co pilot too. so maybe the one's without copilot didn't have a case.
i really think this phone needs to be cased
with that back it won't take long before it gets messed up
Htc Touch Diamond
I just got my Diamond this afternoon in Hong Kong and confirm that the case is not included.
HTC Diamond is without the case, the german xda diamond you will get with the case!
The contents of the box is probably region specific in some cases.
It appears that it will be case-less. So, I ordered the HTC slip case for it - only a £10'er so if I end up with two of them no big deal....
Now, TomTom is another matter - let's hope that comes with it!

Take a look what is inside the box:
No case.

I have got a business version, which does not include copilot and extras ( car charger/mount). And mines comes with the pouch(case). Advice to users. if you have the orbit2 please do not buy crystal cases or screen protectors form ebay because i bought a case and a protector and they do not fit as it is different.
Please can you post a pics of your package with accesories, was it from portugal

Plenty of articles on this and HTC is not happy about it.
Especially as HTC Europe will NOT support Hong Kong import models (and they are easy to trace with S/N and Imei.
Wonder how long you gonna mis your Diamond if needed to send back (to Hong Kong) for repair.
Price comparison:
Bought mine in HK yesterday for 5600 HKD downtown . Should be around 700US.
Euro pricing avarage : 585 -600 Euro. Do the maths and understand why Expansys is importing (though they will mention it on their sites if it is UK / HK or whatever version normally)
Is there a screen protector included in the box? Some unboxing reviews I've seen included a screen protector; others make no mention of one.

Yes, there is a SP in the box, but the quality is bad. Scratches easely, gives like a fume - dusty look when in sunlight.
I wait for a better quality OEM version - to reccomend.

Yeah, most freebies that come in any package are generally crap to slightly acceptable quality. I guess it will do for the time being whilst I source out a full-body skin/shield or a good quality SP & case. Any word on Martin Fields SPs?

It's already out, i have already put it on my Diamond, very happy about it.
First of all HTC backtrack as they are now too stingy to include the pouch for the diamond with the phone itself.
Then nowhere, and I mean NOWHERE has any of the damn cases in stock. I placed an order with Expansys and now it says 25 days estimated wait for delivery. No other mobile vendor has any in stock and are only taking preorders with no ETA.
Just what the hell is going on? Who is going to put a touch diamond in their pocket with no protection? Why were HTC not prepared for this?
Anyone know of any place that has one in stock? Im based in the UK. I dont want the one with a belt clip.
my diamond has no scratches and is always in my pocket.
maybe coz im careful not to put anything else in the pocket i ahve my touch diamond in
get a rubber case of ebay
i have had one on my trinity for 2 years now
the phone still looks like new
or you can get something like this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Krusell-Orbit...hash=item370066715175&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318
Well I rang Expansys, and just as I thought - they have over 600 backorders for this. Which leads me to ask again.. were HTC not prepared for this??!
I can understand your complaints..but..
have you considered sth like that? That's what I got:
http://wmexperts.com/reviews/cases/review_golla_parrot_case.html
It's fantastic + can be used as a wallet too
I got the green camo one for 15 euros.
probably O2 Germany bought all of the first production. They sold much over 1000 diamonds, all WITH the HTC case.
The case is very nice and worth waiting for.
not before 22 days at expansys for me
Do they have the right to delay like that?? How can I cancel my order, I can't find the option on their website?
Ordered this on Monday. Arrived this morning.
http://www.beyzacases.com/cat-htc-t...es---ultra-slim-type-vertical-pouch-cases.cfm
A bit expensive, compared to the HTC case, but I'm happy with it so far. Very nice construction and materials.

Looks really great!!! It's a pity the black version is currently not available :-( I have to wait. I think those cases are better than the original pouch
The are indeed very nice (beyza case). It is lined with a velvet type material which helps clean the screen. I have no idea if cleans better than the OEM case, but its better than nothing.
Also...it is a pretty tight fit, so I don't know if a extended battery would fit. If anyone has any questions they want to ask me about the case, shoot me a PM.

My Orange UK diamond came with the official case/wallet for the handset
I bought me again a pytom leather case. Swiss top quality. I had them already for the Tytn2 and liked them very much.
Go and check them out: I got mine within 2 days. But I live in Switzerland. They use very fine leather and inside it has a material that cleans it.
I got myself the Cosa Nostra, nice one!
www.pytom.ch
I purchased this one from eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-LEATHER-H...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
But I am only using it temporarily until the Krusell case comes to expansys.
BTW have you taken a look at the "Bloody Mary" case! LoL
https://pytom.ch/de_CH/f/htc-touch-diamond/mobile/simple/bloody-mary/
I ordered a pdair case as it looks gorgeous and there's not too much of a 'lip' near the control panel. It's also got a removable belt clip. The free pouch is pretty useless anyway unless you want to have to keep pulling out and putting back your phone every time you want to use it. I went for a flippy cover as they're more practical (hence not 'free').
The only truly decent 'free' case I've ever seen with an HTC device is the one with the Advantage.

You cannot find any diamond cases in the UK because HTC decided to screw over offline buyers and give all the cases away to Orange customers.
I finally managed to buy one of those HTC diamond cases. It is pretty nice but don't confuse it with the one on youtube with the release mechanism (pressing the two edges and the diamond pops out). The HTC case doesn't have that. In addition you can you can insert the device in the case only from one side. The other one is blocked by a something like a cloth rubber stripe (not the best explanation).
Even though I had some concerns regarding how steady the device would be in it, the case actually holds it really firmly.
As you can see, it looks and works nice! I can't even tell you how nice it is to have the rubber feel when holding the Fuze with this cover on. You can order just the cover from expansys here: http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=166210
The picture shows a generic cover. Its not the one you get. You will get the same cover that comes with the EURO touch pro.
Nice. May order one.
$35+ for the cover!!! Very steep. Would love too but the price is a little too high for aesthetics. Maybe if i where to damage the fuze cover. 30 plus shipping is highway robbery.
Given that some of the phone protections skins like Invisible Shield are priced in the mid twenties, a spare back at $33 is not bad. Shipping was listed as $2.50 for me. I suppose this is the price for being an early adopter not wanting to tread the uncertain waters of ebay.
but the cover still isnt exactly flat, yes?
that's one annoyance for me. i have the phone on the table and i'm tapping away with the stylus on the keyboard and the right side of the phone doesnt have full support so it rocks

That's correct but it is abit better as its not as hard as the original fuze cover. So when you push on the screen , its not clacking all over the place.
does this mean that the extended battery with cover should fit as well?

The link you point us to does not look like the back cover of the Fuze, nor does if have a hole for the flash. Is it just the wrong picture the website put up? I wouldnt mind having one, but Im not willing to buy the wrong part
Ya at that price i would just buy the stock back cover from ebay if need be. Still a great find, but maybe in the $20 shipped range at most.

I know. I was worried about this too. But if you notice, it says the pic is not the item. That was the item I orderd and what I receivied was the same battery cover on the original touch pro. Everything fits perfect on the fuze.

Did you get your email order confirmation yet? I just did. They removed the wmpoweruser discount from my order AFTER it showed online in the final price and I ordered it and the back seems to be out of stock now. Typical Expansys..heh..Oh wait it says "instock" on thier webpage. Bunch of liars.
Here is my confirmation email showing no discount on the total after it showed while ordering it earlier
just an update guys, i got my promotion code this morning and placed an order. You dont have to buy anything else btw. My total came to 17.80 including shipping to US. thanks a lot for the info guys!
I already ordered a full body Invisible Shield for my Fuze but would like to purchase this cover as well. Can the Invisible Shield stick to the rubber back or should I just use the front half of it?
so this will absolutely fit the back of our fuze's without a problem at all??? if so wow thats awesome cause i feel like thats what att shouldve done from the beginning!!! not saying that the one that comes with the phones isnt nice im just saying that matted version is nicer plus im used to that from having a tytn 2!! just email them for the voucher so hopefully i get it soon so i can order it!!
how noticible is the color difference?
yes i know there are pictures but sometimes flash can alter thingss
~oh and mod i think this should be moved to accessories part of forum
Color difference is not bad at all. The only part that is shinny blk that stands out is the bottom near the stylus. It really blends in nice. And yes, its a perfect fit.

(Sorry about formatting)
And they also mentioned this:

Will update if anything changes.
Is there anybody who knows where I can get a replacement stylus holder, checked net dont seem to find one have tried to contact HTC but no reply yet. Stylus holder helps to keep back cover on aswell hence the reason I need a new one..Any help is appreciated..
best bet is gonna be buying a replacement housing case for the phone by the looks of things, give ebay a go
Have bought one already but came without stylus holder, waiting to hear from another guy who sells housing on e-bay pic shows at it comes with holder but you can never be sure..

Guys do any of you know how to select/buy the leather case showed in this page?( at the bottom of the page-->accessories)
http://www.omnia7.samsungmobile.com/
No, but I had the same question, just look a few threads under yours.
There should be handsets that have roughly the same measurements. Cases for these could be a workaround until something perfect is released. Problem is, I don't know how to efficiently find out which ones would fit. If somebody with a bit of spare time could find out, that would be great.

That case is an optional boxed accessory that networks/resellers can choose to offer their customers - and not something being sold (yet, at least) separately to customers. At least that's what Samsung UK told me when I asked.
i've seen some over at mobilefun.codotuk, including silicone covers and what i think is some sort of hard gel...anti shock cases... and the leather one you speak of.

Hi any updates? I should be recieving my omnia 7 soon and want to get a decent case/screen protector as well.
Cheers
oh well, I ended up ordering that silicon case. I am also going to get some screen protectors/films just in case.
Sorry...sorry sorry... totally forgot lol, Will upload now. Going to go take some pics downstairs in good light.
Long post of Pics for anyone wondering what the Omnia 7 black silicone case looks like on the phone as not many suppliers seem to have pics on the ads yet. *when i bought it anyway* - Yes mine has a screen protector I think it looks fine with the case as you cannot see the edges on the glass much apart from two pics which show the holes around the windows button and the ear piece / sensors.
*4th pic down if you zoom in shows what the screen protector does as already my phones been across a few of the slate tiles in the kitchen*
I think I found the perfect 3rd-party case for the phone The 'Valente Leather Pocket 15'. It's still a little tight (not too tight) but I reckon it will loosen up in a few days as it is genuine leather... so the fit will be great!
Bought it for €15,- @ a retailer called the Phonehouse in the Netherlands.
also available online at: pdashop.nl/product/108532/
images below (note: although the phone doesn't stick out as much as in pic 1 when you push it as far as possible into the case, the corners do stick out just 1mm. so that's only a real concern when you drop it head-down)
Nice,
Found a few for
£3.99 + free p&p
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-PU-LEAT..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item4aa60357a2
&
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leather-Track..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2a0c26fc8a
£1.99 + free p&p. Looks very similar
Just ordered it the first one, so hoping it fits the phone with the silicone, If not, Extra one for when i get the missus one of these phones.... *sigh*
I have already used up 4 of the 6 screen protectors provided and still can't get it to set without any bubbles. Any tips would be welcome.
