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.
Hi all,
Even the fact it is going to take a few weeks, i already ordered a screenprotector.
Brando Ultra Clear Desire HD for 9 euros. I can say Brando has good screenprotectors, so I think this will be a good one
After a year or so, i will remove it. Does the protector affect the touch/feeling/screen typing btw?
screenprotector
If you look at the film at http://www.pdashop.nl/product/61611/brando-screenprotector-htc-touch-hd.html, you will see (towards the end of the Iphone part) that the phone seems to respond very quickly
I've used a few kind and my fave is Marin Fields - good screen protection but screen is still vibrant with colour.
There are four listed here:
protectionfilms24.com/screen-protectors/desire-hd-29798.html
Not sure about the quality of any of them, does anyone have any ideas?
There are so many products on the market at the moment, very hard to filter out which are the best products/brands for the money.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380276611703
ordered these get very good comments here

"I can say though that the fit is perfectly cut and covers the whole screen which includes the touch sensitive buttons. It has 2 sides to peel which I liked, she used a credit card and it scratched the top of the protector and then we went....fhew..the top layer peels off and it looks perfect, one bubble on the edge that came out easily and it doesn't dull the screen at all, very impressed with it, so much so I order one..."

They do have them now. I ordered one last week and got it deliverd yesterday. Haven´t had the time to put it on yet. From what if seen you realy have to take some time to apply the protector.
As soon as it´s on for a few days I´ll post a review with my experience.
Yes, I know. I ordered a couple last week.
I ordered my brando ultra clear yesterday, got them today. 2 for 16 euro's. So a little cheaper then 9 euro's. Now I only have to wait for my DHD, what will probably be next week
Zaggs are in!

Well maybe she had just received one from a bad batch, I have mine on now at it fits flawlessly. Your last sentence came off a little rude, I know you probably don't care I just figured I would try and help save people a couple bucks if someone was looking at these.
just order one using the code and it worked. thanks
No problem, I love it, I got the wet install one and got it installed flawlessly in about 5 minutes. Looks great with my seidio case.
Thank you Dhuss
I bought an iPad2 carbon fibre protector before seeing your code but just used it for an iPhone4 protector and it worked great, thanks!
I am very impressed with the products. I hadn't intended to buy one for the iPhone but when I applied the iPad2 version I was very impressed.
No more bulky case! hopefully I'll still get a signal
cheers!
I had a bit better success with the Steinhall ultra clear than Skinomi (although maybe I just wasn't good with the wet install....)

Ordered a clear one on sunday - has anyone received a case or screen protector off these guys does the screen protector fit . I ordered a screen protector from talklinesales last week off ebay and it was too small for the phone just had to send a picture off to these guys to show them how small it was obviously never test ftted to a nexus 4
Ordered a clear one yesterday as well as screen protectors. Paid for 1st class delivery. Hoping to get it tomorrow because I'm scared that my screen will get scratched or I'll drop the phone.
When one of you gets the clear one can you post a pic of what it looks like. I ordered the grey one, but might get a clear one if they look ok

Yep, and me. Ordered a clear one sunday night. Dispatched yesterday and paid for 1st class so was hoping it would arrive today
Ordered me one as well. Hope it's good. Should replace the slip case I ordered when it comes tomorrow
Like many eBay sellers I fear they mark the items as dispatched when they haven't been dispstched yet. Gives the impression they are efficient when they are not, and makes the buyer think its royal mail that's being slow. I have 1seller I have bought off many times where I have received it next day every time, where as others have taken up to 4 days to get to me 1st class, despite getting a dispatch mail the same day I ordered.

Quite possibly correct.
Often tried to check the package for a posting date stamp etc from RM
I've ordered one too, and they definitely mark as despatched before sending, as I ordered at 22:39 on Monday and the dispatch email arrived at 04:09.
Hopefully it's not a Chinese company pretending to be in the UK.
I ordered some screen protectors on 16/11 and a case on 18/11 from this seller and haven't got either yet, took 1st class on both. I am prettry sure I have had something off them before and they deff ship from the UK, just one of those sellers that takes 3-4 working days to get to you even though you took 1st class, not a problem really but I just need to get a case on this bad boy, coz I'm getting bored treating it with kid gloves all the time and I have somehow already managed to scratch the rear screen protector despite this!
Anybody got the araree amy case? Looks amazing but never heard of them before. Let me know if anybody has the case or have ever had an araree case and how the quality is. Thanks!

I wouldn't mind the 2 weeks shipping as long as the case is worth it. I love the design but don't want to risk it. I might just get the spigen neo hybrid instead if nobody has any info about the brand or case.
Do a quick search and you would find that this is a quality case brand. They made cases for the s3 and iphone as well.
Most korean cases have really good quality even mercury which is the budget korean case option.
I will be getting one of these soon (red/black) version. If you don't mind waiting 2-4 weeks for me to come back with a review... hang on tight.
Lol I dont think I can wait that long for a review but thank u. U def boosted my confidence. I might just take the leap n get it. I love the red n black one as well. Appreciate it!
i want one of these cases too. i'm afraid by the time it arrives, the galaxy s5 will be out.
by the way, they're available at casefanatic also:

Korean Post is usually fantastic in their delivery speeds.
Anyway, S5 won't be out so soon, not since they announced plans for at "S4s" with the S800 processor.
I did a quick search on araree but couldnt find too many reviews, in english at least.. I do see that they made cases for the galaxy and iphone series in the past but I dont know if that can be used as a testimate to the quality of the galaxy s4 cases.
Thanks !!

Hello, I'm interested in the Amy case, but because of the inconvenience of having it shipped from Korea I would like to see some more pictures of it before buying, if possible of the Moulin Rouge and Chic Black versions. Thanks.
Finally gave in and ordered one of these for my girlfriend and myself last week. I guess I will find out who nice they are once they arrive. They shipped out about a week ago but it says it could take up till the beginning of September to arrive unfortunately.
Anyine fond of the tech 22 d30 cases?

Hope you can post some impressions and pictures! I'm interested in buying this case off eBay, but I am curious on what it feels like before committing.
I've had one for about 3 weeks now and have absolutely loved it.

What does it feel like in the hand? Is it like a matte soft touch finish? Does the case add much thickness to the device?

just bit and purchased the red/black one for 47$ on ebay via EMS shipping, link here for those interested ($31 total for free shipping). I should have it by next Weds. This is probably the prettiest case I've seen for the s4.

Click to collapse
a tad bit of thickness. But nothing like a commuter or anything from otterbox. It's still pretty thin. The back plastic piece had a pretty smooth feel to it, but still provides a nice grip. the rubber main piece (As I call it) has more of a matte feel to it if you will imo. Provides good grip. Still waiting to be able to get pics sowy. Should have them in the morning.
So my cases showed up yesterday. Took 10 days from when they were updated saying shipped on ebay. The quality is excellent as stated earlier. My one question will be depending on how the back plastic is colored how well will it hold up to scratches. Almost feels like a painted on finish instead of a piece of plastic that is died all the way through. Thickness wise it is a hair thicker than my Spigen Neo Hybrid case. I took a ton of pictures of my girlfriends pink and teal one and my red and white one. I just need to get them posted up.
