I have HTC diamond with extended 1340 mah battery and I can not find a holster which will fit in with extended battery on. Any ideas? I need clip on holster which I can clip on belt, like this one.

If you go to this link, they are selling both the extended battery and the case.

There is no case there, just cover.
I'll also be interested in a case which is big enough for a diamond with extended battery, please inform us.
As for Trizo, you need to know the difference between a case and a back cover...
See response below from one of accessory vendors. Contact them as well to tell them that there is a market need for such accessory.

I purchased a leather clip on case from ebay which was designed to fit the standard diamond (I think - there is a little space top and bottom so it could just be a standard clip on case) but the diamond with the official extended battery also fits in it quite nicely. A little snug but works well enough for me.

ok here is the link to the case
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PDair-Black-A...14&_trkparms=72:1683|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
i can confirm that this case fits the original htc 1350m battrey extended i have bought this alluminum case you must rip out the front plastic screen it just pops out and also you need to take all the stiky rubber cushion from the inside of the case it comes of quite easily but be sure to take your time once all the cushioning has been removed totally and the front plastic screen on the case the htc with the extended battrey will fir very comftably in the case i really like the fit and the case it looks scary at first dont worry it will be fine if you find your phone moves about abit the rubber cushion you took of earliier cut them in small tiny pieces and add them wherever you want you will end up with the best case on the marke for the extended battrey also the case is made from high quality alluminium that used on aircrafts thats why its abit pricy any question or help please dont hesitate to ask irm here to help as allways .pj
Thanks.
I found out that GSM diamond with extended battery is 1 mm higher and 0.5 less thick then CDMA diamond in US. So I got CDMA plastic holster and shaving off 1 mm to make it fit Diamond with extended battery right now. For any stretchable material (silicone or leather) it'll probably will just fine without any modifications.
That looks very good but I've got one of those for my previous device (Kaiser), they fit very comfortabley but the case keeps on opening after using it for a few months and you drop the phone on the floor as the clip becomes loose.

I just bought a black Roots Tek Sock for my Diamond with the official HTC extended battery. Although I still have to take the naked Diamond out to use it, it still maintains its beautiful look. In fact it looks nicer with the new battery, from the back.
My old silicone case does fit, but the front left and right sides are not straight anymore, so it looks lame.
sorry this is off topic but i also have the 1340mah battery but i need another battery cover for this battery mine is broken if anyone knows where i can purchase just the back cover please and thanx
cut the back side off?

Thanks, nice find! I bought a CDMA silicone skin and it only needs some shape up, as the holes for the screen, the camera and for the navigation pad aren't fitting exactly. But now everything's fine.
But why is the CDMA skin so expensive compared to the 2$ skins at DealExtreme?!?
Here's one for a few $,

Of course you would need to punch a hole for the front camera.
i would like to buy the backing for the 1340mah htc battery my son broke mine and i need a back lock fr the battery
I found this one, not sure if it is an actual back cover or one that goes over it.
Anyway if you've got a son it probably means that you are over 16, so I don't know about the style!

I have a CDMA diamond, and have searched high and low for an aluminum battery cover. My first thought was this might interfere with reception, but I also have a razr with internal antenna which has aluminum back cover. I work outdoors, and am kinda hard on my phone. I have already broke one of the tabs on the plastic cover, and am looking to upgrade. Some nice anodized covers would sell like fire. Anyone seen anything like this?
I would be keen for something like this as well... I have dropped my phone once and all it did was scratch the battery cover, it spoils the phone. Is it even possible to buy a replacement HTC cover?
I would suggest you buy the official extended battery BP-E270.

this is for gsm diamond, and we are kinda missing the point of the aluminum cover. I can buy a oem cover via ebay, but am looking for something better.

yeah, i second that. aluminium cover will be a great accessory to my touch diamond. especially it's white and has light greyish aluminium ring which would perfectly match with aluminum back cover.
Hi,
I was wondering, how do you check if your Diamond is CDMA or GSM?
Cheers,
Idree
I was thinking of this ages ago, a metal back cover with a brushed finish would look great and we wouldn't have to worry about the scratches and stuff. I looked a bit but couldn't find one
Now I just have an Invisible Shield over the back so it doesn't get scratched but metal would be so much better.
You won't find aluminium cover. You will find, though, aluminium case. I've seen it. Just search the net accessory shops.

Aluminium cases are pretty ugly though, and the phone will be like twice as thick :/
And that's why life is an art of teh compromise... Yep, they ar not pretty, but I think they do their job. I bought the ugly black silicone case, and my diamond doesn't look good, BUT this cover already helped quite a few times...

Yeah, iv'e seen these and not real interested in them. The ideal thing would be the aluminum battery cover, same size as oem, and invisashield to protect the front....now if I could only cast aluminum......
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.
Phil
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..

Hi - was wondering if any one here could shed some feedback on their experience, etc., as to which case to get among these two as I think I've narrowed it down to these two.
I've bought one of those $5.95 Amazon cases which is alright, do I gain anything by buying either one of these.
Thanks
wow 5.95 can you share where to buy it a link please for 5.95

I also own this case and I will say that unless you want a little bit of extra drop protection then you have nothing to gain. The button design and cutouts on this case are perfect. The case is not bulky and gives the phone some traction so it doesn't feel like it's going to slip out of your hands.

If you are looking for the best case with the best look, protection, feel and all that, check out the case mate pop. Its a tight fit so taking the phone in and out take some practice. It gets easier with time though. I have the white one.

waiting for otterbox to come up with a defender case. although might be difficult with the shape of the screen
The Tough is awesome. Good protection, good grip and the fit is nice. Just don't expect it to be pretty. If anything, it reminds me of a tire because of the hard shell's texture lol.
Haven't seen the Otterbox in person, so can't comment on that.
I have the otterbox and the case mate and they are both nice but I prefer the case mate because of the textured back which adds TONS of grip to the back opposed the the slick plastic on the otterbox.
They look the same

CASE MATE is my favorite I have 5 cases but the Case Mate Tough Case never leaves my phone(unless i am swapping battery or memory card ). Also i have had quite a few (high) drops and it is still running perfect.
what i like about the otter over the case mate is that the ports are all coverd in the otterbox
waiting for otterbox to come up with a defender case
Me too but I don't think it will come out

I purchased the body glove when i bought the phone, let me say worst 20 dollars i spent ever. The thing broke from the hinge in my pocket. Either one of these to options is better then the BG
Along with amazon, I find ebay to be even cheaper.
Saw and felt the Otterbox Commuter for me its a good case. It has good all over protection of the phone, However the back side of the otterbox is kinda sleeky than the back cover of the sensation.
I personally have the the Otterbox Commuter case for the HTC Sensation, so I cannot comment on the Casemate. I like the Otterbox for the design to protect the phone between the impact case and gel case together for protection, plus the headphone and USB port covers. The hard plastic impact case is not the best for grip, and the gel part of the case is a major magnet for lint from your pocket.
Hope that helps!
Edit: OK, missed something myself. Wanted a charging dock that supports a case, so I bought one. But it won't work very well if there is a USB port cover, so just something extra to consider!
Does anyone know if they updated the Case-mate tough case design, where originally they had the mic above the camera lens covered? I could have sworn I saw a thread where Case-mate said they were going to update their case and just uncover for that one hole. Just curious if anyone has bought it lately and knows.
I got mine in January I think and it still has that hole covered up. Is that hole supposed to be the noise cancellation mic? I'd have to ask my wife if my call quality has gotten worse since getting this case, but knowing her she wouldn't notice anyway lol.
If anything, it's probably not hard to just drill a tiny hole into the casing.
I have the otterbox commutor, and its sad to say. It is the first Otterbox ive owned that im disappointed in. Due to the top and bottom being rounded. After alot of use in your pocket the rubber on top and bottom loosens and sags. I bought the Otterbox the day it came out and overnighted it. I have yet to find a decent replacement.
In no way would i bash Otterbox on this one product. I have owned other cases for Iphone 3gs, Mytouch 4g and Nook Color. ALL cases were some of the best i have seen. Quality if usually above the rest. I think it is the design due to the large about of exposed rubber on top and bottom.
Hi guys, i just got a second hand Desire Z in mint condition and I want to keep it that way as much as possible, so I ve been browsing throught eBay for a while now and i can't seem to find anything that would be practical due to the slide keyboard. I once got a simple gel silicone case for a SE Xperia X10 Mini Pro and it was "garbage"..whenever the keyboard got out the case always slided off..so I want a few opinions before i make my choice now.
The one case that caught my eye is this one > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-HTC-DESIRE-Z-ALUMINIUM-CASE-SCREEN-PROTECTOR-/270875659598?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3f11728d4e#ht_3135wt_1413
has anyone gotten this or a similar case?
this one seems pretty far the same case, but much cheaper >http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALUMINUM-METAL-HARD-PLASTIC-PLATED-CASE-COVER-HTC-DESIRE-Z-BLACK-/250923119681?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a6c2ef441#ht_1529wt_1156
are they by any chance the exact same case?
if someone knows where i can get a relatively cheap case that works good on the Desire Z please send me a link!
Looks like a knock off of the Otterbox except they're using aluminium instead of high impact plastic with a rubber lining. I would be skeptical because the metal might scratch against the phone's exterior during installation and/or use. it's cheap so it might be worth a try.

Been using an Otterbox on my G2 for a couple months (since I broke the LCD without an Otterbox ), highly highly recommend! The price you see on ebay is just about the same as I paid on Amazon. It's worked really really well for me, I was taking the case on/off all the time due to a malfunctioning game causing memory overflows, needing to pull the battery pretty frequently, I've never had an issue with the clips snapping like some people seem to have.
HTH!
The Otterbox is a great case,had a few problems with clips breaking but got sent a replacement, unfortunately the commuter is now out of production so if the case breaks not sure if you could get a replacement from Otterbox
Search amazon for tmobile g2 oem rubberized skin. Adds a little bulk to it but keeps me from dropping it. Keyboard slides out with ease and all other hardware buttons are accessible. Almost provides all around protection with a little extra height from the screen. Has a rubbery feel but still feels great to me. Assuming g2 and dz have the same physical specs...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I have been using the otterbox since i had my g2. I tried the HTC hardshell rubberized case, but went back to otterbox a day later. My only cons with the otterbox is that the clips can break if you are not careful, and it is a bit bulky.
So has anyone gotten the case that was posted first? The metallic one? I'm tempted but I'm not sure if it's good or not.

I wouldn't recommend anything from eBay, I prefer to go with sure things. I got a nice one from my T-Mobile store, it's light, aesthetic, and cushions falls, although of course not as well as Otterbox. I can't post links, but search for Body Glove Matrix Snap-On Cover for T-Mobile G2 on google, and it's the first Amazon.com result, $3.31
In case anyone is interested, I just ordered the metallic case so I'll be receiving it and posting pictures sometime this week or next week
Well I got my case today. It's navy blue and looks amazing. Only problem is that it adds bulk. The tmobile car charger doesn't fit snug with it on. Luckily, the case is real easy to pop off.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
As promised, here are pictures of the case! I've adjusted the colors on photoshop to make sure the blue is exactly the same as what you get (since the pictures misrepresent it).
PROS
-Looks sweet
-Back looks and feels great
-If you have an ICS rom, the blue and black matches real well
-Lightweight
CONS
-Adds a decent amount of thickness
-The hole for the microusb port is too small for anything to fit snugly
-Tougher to push the camera and power button on top
As you can see in one of the pictures, I had to cut the area around the microusb port so that my car charger and regular charger would be able to fit without falling out. Other than that, I love this case! It's only $5-7 on ebay.
