Hi
Has anyone had any problems with the
"BLACK RESIN Soft Gel Case for the HTC DESIRE" from ebay
As it is quite 'firm' I'm concerned over time it will scratch or damage the desire's casing ..
Does anyone know of a decide soft flexible silicon case for the desire. One that can't damage the casing...?
any ideas / or comments ?
you might want to look at the invis shield thread which people are using, that seems to do the trick and is good
Thanks. Not sure I like them.
I got one. It is quite difficult to fit the desire in as the case is quite tight. It looks ok though after fitting the phone in
I have been using a 'Gel' case off ebay for about a month now and i too had concerns that it would damage to phone but I have taken it off a couple of times and there isn't a single mark anywhere on the phone!
It was a UK based one for like £2 i got.

I think a gel case would be OK, but this is a 'resin' case.. which is a little firm..
Thats what concerns me !!
Well mine is like a resin I guess. Like soft plastic material. It is quite firm and takes a bit of getting the phone in/out but like I say it hasn't make a single mark on the phone.
Phil
Cheers Phil..
I've ordered a cheap soft silicone case.. I'll see how that compares..
I had one of the soft silicone ones and although they are good protection wise and easy to get on and off I had a couple of issues with it.
I found that it made the rear of the phone go 'weird'. Hard to describe really but it made marks on the back cover with it being rubberised and having the rubber case on it left marks on the cover. They have rubbed off and dissapeared over time but I only used the case for about a week.
I found that it made the phone very bulky hence why i went for the 'Gel' one.
It was hard to get it in and out of my pocket as it gripped on my clothes too much.
Phil
Thanks for the replies.
The soft silicone case has arrives, doesn't feel as nice or fit as well as the resin case.
But doesn't feel like it will do any damage to the phone.
I'll see how I get on
i have one if those soft silicone cases, and ive noticed that when i remove it the back of my desire is unusually shiny, and now im wondering if that will return to the original non shine surface..
I had the same thing. It has returned to the normal state after using a gel case for a while.

This is why I went with the cheapo Gel case. I've had mine off and on a few times - no marks or anything. I was sending a text in a club and the phone was knocked out of my hand across the floor. No marks on case or anything.
The silicone case I have for my Blackberry is great although it tends to pull everything out of your pocket including the inside of the pocket - little annoying. Although it sticks to everything. you could leave it on the dash board of the car whilst driving and it wouldnt move at all.
pro's and cons. I prefer the gel one personally. Although the silicone stickyness comes in handy.
haha, my soft silicone case lost some of its traction i dont know why lol.
I've been looking around for cases for my desire,
can anyone recommend any sites that sells the resin gel ones the cheapest and has reputation for fast shipping?
I live in Canada, as much as I enjoy buying stuff online, I feel like I have to wait for like 100 years for an item to get here.
just changed my resin case to a soft gel.
Feels better add that to my new pouch that take the desire in the gel case..
Sorted
Hey all,
I ordered 2 of these last week from Hong Kong for me and my girlfriend.
This case is very nice looking and has several colours available.
It feels very well built and feels nice when holding it in your hand also adds a little more grip.
However this case is simply for style and will not protect your phone, it would maybe protect it from very light drops but your phone will not be protected from very high drops.
On the back of the phone there is a very nice gold Galaxy S logo which also looks great.
So guys don't buy this if you look for protection, instead only for style like me lol
I have included some pictures of it below to show you it and how it fits the phone .
i have the red one
the pictures are in the CASE topic

The green and the red ones are so sexy xD Too bad i'm too stingy to shell out for one, but i should have a cheaper case coming in the mail (taking it's time dammit...)
I just got the white one in the post today from Korea.
Verrrry happy with it.
I had one of those gel cases before as thats what I used on my HD2 and it was great on that phone but I really struggled with the side buttons on the Galaxy
Are these cases hard or soft? And how well do they fit? Will the phone fall out if I flip it upside down and hold onto the case only? Is it tight enough to where the plastics don't rub against each other and scratch the phone? Also, it looks like it stays put by gripping down on the chrome edges, like most cases for the Galaxy S. Is it safe to use the chrome edges as a latch for the case? Because my chrome edges squeak and feel loose in certain spots and I think they are simply just glued on and not adhered to the phone strongly. Also, how much better of a grip does it give the phone? Because the phone is quit slippery/oily as it is without a case.
And thanks for any replies.
Totally agree that this Mess case in very nice... and slim fit(perfect fit), I have a black one i ordered from Korea Im very satisfied with the case= just what i was looking for, a case that protect my phone from scratches and its very stylish.

1. Case is medium hard
2. Perfect fit
3. Phone will not fall out and i think you can get the scratch from something else not the case.. its tight
4. Offcourse it "can" scratch the chrome edges if you take it off all the time, but the case isnt so hard (kind of medium hard "rubberish" material
5 The grip is very good

Have to agree with this, tbh this is the best case I have had on any phones that I have owned.
Oh and btw it takes about 5-7 days for it to arrive from HK to the UK incase anyone wanted to know
Aaah shyt..
It's exactly 7days now.. and it's not arrived yet. I ordered the white one and I'm patiently waiting. And I'm in Asia...
I ordered the same one in red, so I am thankful, that it seems to be very decent!
I didn't order it for protection though... or against scratches... I ordered it because I hate the plasticy feel of the normal backcover :/

hi,
can you provide me the website link that you purchase? I'm looking for this stylish back cover as well. How much it cost plus all the shipping charges?
So where does one buy this little beauty. You did not say where you got it.

yes there is,Otterbox Commuter for galaxy s.
got it some time ago,i'm very satisfied with it,it has a double protection layer (hard plastic+gel) and it still looks slim. i like it 'cause it gives a nice rugged look to the sgs. tried a lot of other cases,hard cases,silicone gel,TPU..this one brings the best from all worlds imo.

edit: @omaga: sorry i read now that you were referring to really slim cases only! my bad
for me.. little more grip it's good.. because with more grip, the pure silicone for example, it's annoying whe to put into the pocket...
The mesh Anycall cases are sold here also: goo.gl/Q5cQJ
The link will go to exportprive site, there you can also find them manually pretty easily.
So I received my Trident Aegis Case today and I love it. On the one hand it is bulkier than both the Cimo and Diztronic cases. It doesn't feel as grippy as the Cimo which is what I have been using.
On the other hand the phone feels like it could take a bigger hit. Also, the buttons are a lot easier to press than with a case or even without a case. The power button was a bit of a frustration for me but not so with this case. The cover also has covers for the ports.
To answer another question in another thread, you can attach a lanyard to this case, two little holes on the same side as the volume bar.
I will update when I use it some more to get my impressions for every day use. I took pictures.
It also comes with a screen protector, but I have not used it since I already had a different one on the phone.
Here's a link http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/HTC-ONE-S{47}HTC-VILLE/ It comes in black, blue, green, pink and red.
Just to chime in, I've been using this case for about a week and I can echo that the buttons are MUCH easier to press in this case. It was frustrated with the power button, especially with the D3O case from T-Mobile. This new case is like night and day.
Trident does a really good job of balancing silicone and hard shells so that the phone still has plenty of cushioning in case you drop it while not being too 'sticky' from the silicone. This is a welcome from the typical gel/silicone cases that get caught in your pockets.
I'm really quite gentle on my phones but having this same type of case on my last phone gave me plenty of confidence is not having to baby it. Tossing it around and dropping it doesn't make me even wince anymore. The One S case is no exception.
Love this case! I have the blue one also. Best color imo.
I managed to get a black Trident Aegis off ebay for my phone and so far i'm loving it. Works really well and it's alot easier for me to handle now. As a lefty, I always had issues with the power button but now since it's more prominent, I can reach it pretty quickly.

I received my green aegis awhile back. Love the color and feel of the case. Not bulky and as mentioned earlier, easy to push power and volume buttons easily. (Lefty also)
Only issue I have, and it may not be one, the corners, though covered with the silicone, seem like if I were to drop the phone on a corner, how much impact resistance will it absorb... Again, it may be enough for a normal 3-5 foot drop.. though not willing to test it out intentionally. :cyclops:
does anybody knows if there is a possibility to purchase one of the trident Aegis for my One S in Europe, especialy Germany?
would be very nice.
greetings,
H.
I want this , I have the black 1S so I would get the red one XD

does this case lift the screen protector?

Depends, it lifted mine a little bit on the bottom of the phone near the capacitive buttons so I just trimmed the next screen protector corners before placing it.
I think this has more to do with the curved glass screen than the screen protector.
I have not noticed this.
I got mine today !!

How does it look? Can you post some pictures, I am thinking of getting the One S with that case.
im 14 and i dont know if i should get this case or the kraken version i like the kraken because becuase it has a big lift so the screen get scratched which do you think is better
Thanks for the pics, helped me decide to get this case
I want to get this case but at the same time I am very iffy do to the fact that it is sooo bulky, any advice for someone coming from a Diztronic?
personally I prefer no case at all.. besides, from my experience, ONE S is not a easily scratched phone...
putting a case of any sort destroys the original design, this is especially true with iPhone, one of the most beautiful design out there, but 95% covered in a case which then is no prettier then my uncovered ONE S.
just my taste tho
I currently have mine removed, the bulk wasn't really the issue but the silicone made it difficult to slide in and out of my pocket.
I got my case a couple days ago and I love it. its not too bulky imo, it give it more grip for me and I don't feel like im always going to drop it if I grab the phone wrong. I think the case looks great as well (I got the blue one).
Thought I read somewhere that the Trident Aegis case for the One S covers the notification light. Is that true?

You guys can just do what I do and put a dab of loctite gel inside the case where the button sections are. PROBLEM SOLVED!
I had the D30 and a little glue inside and the buttons became easier to press than without a case at all.
Cheers.
What is the most protective case for this phone that is not an Otterbox? Added thickness doesn't matter.
My wife keeps dropping her phone and the tabs on her Otterbox Commuter case keep breaking off, rendering the case useless. Sure, Otterbox customer care is fantastic and will replace the case free of charge, but it gets very old that I have to keep doing this, and I'd rather get a case that doesn't break all the time. Thanks
I had the same case, same issue.
Had another case, same issue. I think the real problem is it's hard to design a "good" case for a slider phone. Non-sliders are much easier to build cases for... No moving parts haha.
I had a case with a fantastic slider design on my old Evo Shift but haven't seen anything like it for any other slider. Essentially the front bezel not only clipped on with the little tabs but also had a large part that wrapped around to the back of the phone and interlocked with the back case. It helped keep the front part on by putting all the load there on the large piece with the tabs just to keep it positioned.
This one: http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-evo-shift-4g-slide-snap-cases.html
I would buy one in an instant if it were available for the Photon Q.
Been using this for a bit so I decided to post up some pics. I attached the images, but since they're really compressed, I'm also providing a link below to imgur if anyone wants to see them in better quality.
Slickwraps Black/Red Carbon Galaxy S6
The full body wrap can be used with a case, but I don't recommend it. Tight cases such as the Speck CandyShell tend to lift the portion of the wrap covering the aluminum frame. A tpu case or a two part case are probably your best bet for those times you do need to use a case.
Looks great. Be careful with the thin sides on the front, they tend to lose their adhesion with too much fiddling.
Looks good and nice color combo, I've never had much luck applying this wraps.

I had that issue on my Nexus 6, but on the side wraps covering the aluminum frame since they got thinner at the ends. Applying some heat with a hair dryer helped for the most part, but it definitely didn't have as strong a bond as it initially did.

love the color combo
diggin' that look
How's this holding up for you? Have you tried it with a case at all? I just ordered the hero skins for my gold S6 but I am thinking about swapping the gold sides for black. Also, how long did it take for yours to ship?

Still looks as good as the first day I installed it and I have used it with cases. Even with a tight case like the Speck Candyshell, the wrap never got loose. If you order it during a time there isn't a sale going on, it will usually get to you by about a week or couple days less. If you order it during a sale, it can easily take over a week.
Sometimes though Slickwraps will print out a shipping label and the status will show as shipped, but the actual package won't ship out till a few days later. It doesn't always happen, but I've experienced it a few times.

@il buono: I'm definitely waiting for mine. I want to put it in my Spigen clear case but I'm worried you won't be able to see it or it will rub off. Hmmmm, decisions, decisions.
