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.

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.
It looks like they've got a decent amount of Nexus stuff.

This is what I went with for mine:
Crystal Skin
Should be similar to the ones that were popular with the myTouch / Magic. The resin TPU ones.
And for screen protectors I will see if these are any good. Seems to be an invisible shield / BSE clone.
As long as they hold up until more accessories become available I'm fine.
I don't think the cases from fommy are good because some of the cases block the proximity sensor on the phone.
I've had the resin TPU one on my magic for quite some time, and its the best I have ever used. It doesnt add alot of weight to the phone, and lso one of the easiest to install.
I really hope somebody comes out with a carbon fiber case, that would be sweet.
I am getting the privacy screen protector from Fommy and I'll post back my findings on the sucker.
It'll be cool if moshi comes out w/ something. My friend has one for her iphone and it looks sweet! It is very stream-lined and doesn't make your phone any fatter. I typically hate cases. However, I think what moshi has looks pretty sweet.

That skin looks pretty cool. Care to share any pics of it installed onto your phone when you have a moment?
I know in the past people were saying that magnetic closures messed up the G1's compass over time. Is that turning out to be true? I would think the N1 and any other phone with a compass would suffer the same fate if that is the truth. I like having my compass..
I bought the Ferrari car charger from that site. I ain't get it yet but when I will, ill post a review.
never order from fommy! i had the worst experience with them. i ordered the screen protector and the clear case (both were pre-order).. and also another screen protector for my N97.. later realized they didnt have the cheapest deals.. wanted to cancel the order the same day i ordered them. called customer service, noone picked up. tried a hundred times.. emailed them as well to no avail. come monday, i get a confirmation email that one of the items was shipped. argh! finally after calling nonstop, a customer rep finally picked up. I can only be refunded for the two items that hasn't shipped yet.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with fommy. I on the other hand had no problem with the site. I had no problem calling them and asking them and speaking to a representative.
What about the battery they have...That doesnt look like the right battery! It says it fits 3-4 phones....Dosent look right...What do yall think?
Be very careful ordering from Fommy
Anyone with a few minutes should take a look at this forum thread. It is a long thread and I don't expect anyone to read it all. The bottom line is Fommy does not have much of a credibility when it comes to their salespeople.

Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone knows if this phone will ship with a leather case? The only other HTC phones I've had are the Touch Diamond and the Touch Pro 2, both shipped with cases, so I'm feeling hopeful. Just wondered if anyone knew for sure?
Well the g2 hasn't from the looks of it so I doubt it. My hero didn't come with one a year ago either.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
From a description I read previously, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. But, then again, I'm pretty sure in the description, it said it came with an 8gb card, and another member said he was told it didn't come with a card!
However, since you can buy a leather slip case seperately for this, I'm gonna go ahead and say that it won't come with a leather case...
Every HTC device that I've ever bought has shipped with a leather case.. so.. I think yes... but we'll see.
I just got mine today and sadly it does not come with a leather case.

You're talking of TMobile G2, not HTC Desire Z
They're the same phone, but we can never be sure if it's coming with the same accessories!
I'm waiting for my Desire Z...when it'll come to me I'll update you on the included accessories ^^

this policy seems to have changed more recently, I used to get one with htc phones up till the magic, but then hero, legend and desire all didn't come with a case
Hi,
When I've ordered the HD2, the case arrived in the box as well.
A month later I have ordered a Touch2 for my friend and there was no case in the box.
So ... we will see what is in the box when it arrives, hope there will be no difference in accessories between countries where the phone will be delivered.
If htc cheaps out of a leather case for the Desire Z, the G2 forums are reporting that the original G1 case, easily found on eBay for cheap, fits the G2 perfectly.

I have owned a Hero and a Desire (Bravo) and neither of those came with a case of any sort.
This one looks good making use of the flip out keyboard without taking it out of the case:

Interesting. Not sure how much that plastic over the keys would annoy me, though. I almost think I'd rather have a slip pouch that I'd have to remove the phone from each time than type through plastic. I dunno, I really did have my heart set on something I'd be able to type on while still in the pouch.
not a huge fan of leather cases tbh..seems to add a lot of perceived bulk to the phone. a clear crystal case would be fine i think..but at the moment, not many options! guess i'll just have to take extra care when i get my phone in 2 days! =D
In my opinion Noreve has the best leather cases. These case's have a stable metal frame inside the stitch edges.
- Dromaius
Just had a look and yes, their cases look great. Could only see a pouch style case for the DZ, though. Went ahead and sent them an e-mail asking if they planned to develop a flip style case and I received this back...
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your email.
This case is under production. We will launch it in less than 1/2 weeks. http://www.noreve.com/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_Desire_Z_Tradition.html
We will inform you as soon as we launch it on-line.
Thank you for your interest in our brand.
My best regards,

Really looking forward to this if they make it right.
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.

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

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.

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....

Really getting desperate getting a Mercury case for my nexus S. Since our phone is getting a bit older, accessories like the mercury case kind tends to be harder to find(last store pointed to me closed shop already). Unless you know someone from Korea, which I don't. Sadly I don't have enough cold cash lying around so getting it from abroad is out of the question. Any of my fellow men from the Philippines here have any idea where I could still get one..? Love to get one in white desperately, or black perhaps. Help please! =(
Go to www.tipidcp.com
I got my white one from ebay though, waited 2months for it to arrive from korea. I also got a yellow one bought locally but i sold it already.

Better buy one on ebay.
I won't upgrade unless developers here stop making roms for good.
And imo this is the most excellent sounding android phone, credits to voodoo sound and my trusty in-ear headphones.
Tell someone you know who has a credit card to buy one for ya. They're only about 360php, free shipping from korea.
haha.. i've been looking for mercury case too but this case is so rare that i only saw one at tcp then after a week its gone and never saw one again. the only thing i can find in the mall are the cheap plastic netcase that could scratch the phone. there's one in ebay that costs 260+50 for shipping, they also do meetup in pasay area, im far from there so i didnt buy one. just search nexus s case in ebay.ph u'll find it in several colors.

Got me a blue non-Mercury brand case recently. The problem is my neoprene casing has a staining effect on my newly purchased TPU case. Well the black textile edge was the culprit really. I can't seem to remove it with alcohol or liquid detergent. Really getting frustrated.. Any ideas how to remove it guys?
