I got mine from ebay too
I got ebay #220687867777
As above, it is a tight fit but the power button is the problem, likely all the same case from different sellers..
I superglued a tiny plastic fragment from a shampoo bottle lid under the cases button indentation and it's perfect. The smoke effect isn't so good where I put the glue but duh... its a solvent.
It came with a screen protector which was surprisingly good compared to the Zagg ones I have used before (and still have).
Total bargain
well after initial getting one off flea bay it came and did the job but was bulky and the power button was hard to operate
then read on here about some one who got a very good one and no power button issues, so i got the link and ordered one and i have to say its excellent
fits a lot better than the other one and far less bulky and the power button is no longer a problem

After seeing this I ordered one of these, and I can confirm it works well - much better than the previous case I had, where it was a real pain to press the power button. Really fast (free) delivery and only £3.49 - bargain!
Got a case-mate one today from carphone whore house it was a tenner with screen protector that I immediately threw away, as I don't see the need for a screen protector also it looked like it wouldn't fit that well. The case itself is pretty nice, I don't think it is silicone (maybe TPU) as it comes out of my pocket easily (you all know what I mean). It is very sleek and fits really well, power and volume buttons are easy to use so a win all round. Unfortunately it is not on either the CPW or the case-mate website yet (they had one type of case in stock and only one of that case in stock). Looking at the other case-mate cases I believe it is from their barely-there series.

That looks great. My wife is about to get a Desire HD, I'm used to flexishield cases (which I think is brilliant for my HD2) - is this as good as theirs?
Thanks.
The case you are discussing in here is the same one I posted about in this thread. The seller I got it from sells it for a little less (£2.75) but it is exactly the same one. I have to say I have no problems with it, it fits well, all the buttons and openings are well cut and I would recommend it to anyone. As for the power button, the inital HTC design is a pain but this case helps out to some degree, that said, it is still difficult to press at times.
Regards.
Is it worth buying a hydro case or a silicone gel case like these

I bought 2 of these the other day I gave one my friend who has the HD as mine doesn't come till Monday. The case looks fine and does the job. There is a really smart looking case on Play.com coming out at the end if the month. These will do until then.

Hi I am currently awaiting delivery for my DHD (and it could be a week or two).
I am wondering if anyone who owns a Silicone case - or something similar, and has found a case that allows for the phone to sit flat on a table surface to allow for one handed use. With the camera design set out from the main body I am hoping the case would come up to this level preventing rocking action.
Does the phone rock around on a table when used without a case or is it bearable?
I will then add a screen protector perhaps a Zagg product or similar.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Si
mine is currently cases-less, and does rock around when it on the table. however, placing a little phone sock under the phone is good at reducing the rocking, but i cant find one big enough to fit the phone in yet.
still looking for a good case, but it seems 3rd parties are being slow with this phone.
I'm needing a case or something like a bumper for my DHD.
I've had it 3 weeks and dropped it twice on to hard surfaces, got 2 small scratches and a small dent at the power button (since the button was flush with the case to start with, its actually made it a bit better!! LOL)
but my luck won't last too much longer so I need to protect it...
any ideas??
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I was thinking of using a phone sock to help keep it protected, the problem is having to slide the phone out every time i want to use it, id end up just leaving it somewhere. But keeping it steady with one is a good idea - but overall I'm looking for something more protective, good looking and will prevent the rocking.
I'm normally quite good with not dropping my phones, but a bumper or silicone case would be a must with a screen this size...don't really want to scratch or dent it (even if it has its upsides ;D ).
I'll keep looking, the annoying thing is that all the silicone ones I have found only have front or back on photos, not from the side...which is obviously important to check the level in relation to the camera area.
Cheers
Si
Was browsing through Google products and found this new one on Play, looks really cool not as dull and uninspired as the average silicone protector. I don't know again if it will help the issue with the raised camera, but I am still really interested.

I bought one of these and it does what it says on the tim. Protects the back and sides while offering unfettered access to the screen. It helps with the grip too, so I'm less likely to drop it (eek!)
Just so you know, the following case does have a slight wobble to it left and right when typing whilst on a flat surface. Not loads, but a wobble is there!

Yeah it looks good, nice to know its tougher than silicone, but unless it solves the rocking issue - I still prefer the one I found on Play...just because its cool looking.
but if you give it a go, let us know how well it performs and fits.

To be honest, I don't think the picture shown is even the actual product. There is no hole for the speaker and the whole is definitely for the 3.5mm jack. (you can see the power button raised on the upper right corner). Since the case is not released yet, this is quite possible.
I've got this one too...
As CD993 says it does wobble, but only marginally... this is a TOUCH screen after all, you don't need to press very hard for it to respond!
The fact it's nearly £10 cheaper than the official HTC one (and yes, the image is wrong or else it's not going to have enough cutouts on the back!) is good enough for me!

WTF is the matter with posting links btw? At what point does this 'privilege' begin?
Has anyone noticed something reddish and rough on the volume rocker surface after using it for more than 6 months? I hope its not rust and just polish that has eroded...I stay in Mumbai where the climate is quite humid that's why i think its rust..
Yes I have the same issue, a coppery colour with rough texture, my power button has also started to loose the silver finish.
But do you think its rust or just eroded polish??
Of course its not rust. The rocker is alloy-plated. After a while it disappears. Sad but true
Thank god it isnt rust...but i have heard that cheap metals also get rust ..
Same with me. Coppery brown color on volume and power keys. The silver color is no more.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
yep mines the same, its just the silver wearing off, there is nothing to worry about, its just a shame they didnt use solid metal insted of the plastic with silver coating.
Good for you. My volume rocker essentially failed, the volume down function barely works, I have to press it very hard. Does anyone have experience about RMA in this case?

I dropped my phone and it landed on its side bending my volume rocker down the centre, It kept falling out as it no longer fitted properly, inevitably one day I lost the rocker but I bought a replacement online, it was slightly expensive for what it is but in no way costly. You can pry your old one off with something thin, a small blob of adhesive holds in on the the middle of the rocker, and then 1 metal and 1 rubber (?) tab hold it into the phone. The rubber tab is at the bottom of the rocker so pry with something thin from there.
I bought mine http://www.parts4repair.com/products/HTC-Desire-HD-Volume-Button.html there. I choose the cheapest delivery which took almost 2 weeks to the UK. Its up to you whether you choose this option or not. I thought I would just put it out there incase anyone wants to replace their volume rockers.
That may happen in the near future if my phone falls for 2 times or more!...but thats good information @didge3...and why are you still using ARHD 5.2.1 when 6.1.0 is out?But if you prefer sense 2.1 wasn't 5.2.6 the smoothest?

Thank you, but I think my problem is with the volume down button itself, and according the site you linked this case I would have to buy a motherboard flex cable that is about $50...

Everything still looks like on day one...
I would send it in to HTC, they can replace the buttons ...

Should really update my signature more often! When I posted I was running 5.2.1, and shortly after I bumped up to 5.2.6 but too be honest I was looking at 6.1 and thinking I'm a little bored of Sense so now I'm running MIUI+, a slight change....
Also got this, it's a real shame. The paint is only coming off on the bottom side, and also the actual button is starting to break off the phone at the bottom !
I blame all the reboots into recovery...

Yeah, me too. A good silicon case is certainly worth it and for me the phone feels better in hand. I use this very one (from this review).
the volume rocker is one weak link in an otherwise excellent phone,,

Agree, a good case is the answer. Got a nice case of play.com. It's a exspect case paid about £6, bargin, kept mine safe for months now. Give a look...

I've been using the checkerboard one for awhile now and it hasn't left any marks on the G2x. One thing to note though is that it covers up the power and volume buttons. The material there is thinner to supposedly let you easily press through the case but I find it extremely annoying. I'm tempted to cut those parts out but never get around to it.
received the case today. for $2.80 you just cant beat it. fits very nice, feels good in hand too.
Thanks again, great case which I can say the same about my Clarivue screen protector. Anti-Glare is simply NOT usable due to IPS panel I guess. (works fine on MyTouch 4G)

I just bought this one Incipio NGP case.
Just got it in the mail today, but I won't have my G2x until Friday
I'll report back once I get it in and put it on. My friend had an incipio case for his iPhone, and it felt really solid, so I decided to check if they had one for the G2x and they did. Kinda pricey ($19.99 on Amazon), but if it protects it, its worth it to me.
Love my rubber case on my G2X feel I can toss the phone around any surface and not be afraid of scratches.
Also, I don't have screen protector, been almost a year on this phone and honestly, the screen is very good and doesn't scratch. Then again been lucky not putting anything that can scratch the screen.
Has anyone bought a rubber case but for the G2X with the huge 3500mah battery? Thats the only thing I want and I'm good. Only reason I hold back at not using my extended battery full time.

That's actually a good idea. Or you can buy a TPU case and cut out the back so you can fit the extended battery cover. As long as the actual phone is protected, it's all good.

i have to agree, im going to c if they loosen up a little, or else ill just cut the power one out

so after 2 months it hasnt loosened up
i love the phone naked, but a little too slick and always worried that the phone would slip out of my hands, the case keeps the bulk down and side grip makes for a less chance of it flying out of my hands, but i could of done without it as the tpu skin would of sufficed
I've been using this case since February. It's really quite impressive for the price. It has probably saved me from a cracked screen at least once. For the price it's really good.
Just got mine in the mail yesterday. For $2.42 shipped, how could I pass it up? I love the look and feel of it (especially the feel), and while I appreciate the stiffness of the buttons making it hard to accidentally press something, they are very firm to the point of being difficult to press. Sucks because I love everything else about this case, especially the side grips, and it's easily my favorite among all the Skyrocket cases I've tried (Otterbox Defender, Diztronic TPU, a bunch of those cheap silicone/mesh hybrids and a Reiko case similar to the Defender, but with a kickstand). Do those buttons loosen up with time at all, or do they pretty much stay the same?

I hated the volume buttons on my TPU case so I cut them out so it's just an opening to the original buttons, same as the power button. I just used a box cutter and cut out around the outline, you can't even tell, and it's *so* much easier now.
I have this for a while and I'm pretty sure the buttons are loosening up with time, happens to me that i accidentally wake the phone clicking the volume keys while simply grabbing it. I only remove it when I'm flashing stuff and need to get to recovery often, then it's a bit annoying.
Just bought mine yesterday. Waiting now.

Well, I screwed this one up pretty good. I cut the covers for the power and volume buttons out, then realized that they're so far recessed in the case that I'll never be able to get to them. It's even less convenient now than it was when the buttons were impossible to press. Oops.

Anyone have any experience with a car mount/dock that will securely hold the One S while in a Cruzerlite case? I've tried a couple of cases off Amazon and they just aren't holding it tight which results in a lot of movement and bounce. Thanks!

I'm using this one :

and it work well.
Thanks for the information. My wife has this mount so I tried it for a bit...

It's another Arkon but looks to be a different model then yours (it's an SM410). That link you posted mentions the SM514 in one place and SM515 in another. Can you verify which one yours is?
Anyway, the SM410 has padding on the arms that I thought would be nice but it prevents the phone from being secured tightly. It looks like the SM515 has padding on the top and bottom arms but that shouldn't be as much of an issue I wouldn't think.
So you have a Cruzerlite case as well? The SM515 doesn't look to have side arms so how does it hold it when horizontol for GPS use? Does it hold it pretty securely?
The spring is strong enought to hold it.
I always use it in landscape and it was fine with my desire s who is heavier than the one s. I use it with a one s since 2 months now and no problem so far.
I like it because you have an easy acces to the usb port and the volume control on the phone.
And I do have a ruber case like the cruzerlite a nomame found on amazon uk.
Excellent. Thanks for the information. I found it on Amazon for $16.95 and Prime shipping. I think I'll order it and give it a try.
I have try severall one and it is the only one that gave me satifaction.
And it is useable with other phone too. With or without case.
And it comes with 2 set of arm, long one for big phone like the one s and some smaller one if you want to hold somethig smaller
alternatively, but more expensive: iGrip HRX Kit Universal Mount & Holder
Here is the one I have been using for the past 6 months http://http://www.shopandroid.com/ibolt-prodock-alumina/3AA9715.htm used it with both my MyTouch Slide and now with my One S, also works with the wifes Galaxy Nexus. A touch on the pricey side but IMO well worth it since it can work with almost any device.
I ended up getting the dock archie53 suggested, the iBOLT ProDock Alumina Universal Hands-free Phone Holder/Dock. Found it for $32+free shipping on Amazon...

It does seem to hold my One S in a Cruzerlite case more securely. I noticed the padding on the arms is soft plastic rather then foam so I'm guessing it's because the plastic holds the phone tighter then the docks with foam on the arms was holding it.
Very impressed with it so far.
I can't post outside links yet, but look up "Comfort Wheels Brand Windshield Dashboard" on Amazon. They fit the One S just fine, and I use both the Cruzerlite and sometimes the D30 case.
It's really compact, too, so it's easy to fold away and toss in the glove compartment if you want it tucked away.
It's also really cheap! Orders fulfilled by Amazon.
For now I settle with the Osomount u-grip. Max. size phone is 5"
