Okay, just though what the heck for £2.64 , got this one on ebay, sounds the same, will let everyone know what its like once I get one

Can you let me know how the DC Mugen one goes? I'm a big fan of their cases and they said they weren't going to make any so I ended up buying one from somewhere else.
I went for the Epik cases when I got my Nokia 5800 and they protected the phone amazingly. It wasn't too big on the phone and bounced well lol. Really protected the phone.
Ah. Despite buying one from another company, I'm going to get this.
Cheers

i ordered one of these today to replace my nexus gel cover. it looks like an improvement, will see when it arrives

FWIW - the Nexus one case I purchased as an interim case whilst waiting on something better to come out appears to be an Epik case.
The case I got is the one with the red Nexus One badge on the back.
Cost about 3 quid off ebay...

I just ordered a Mugen Epik specifically for the Desire - I bought the TPU one.
Will give you the rundown once I've recieved it.

Anyone know if there is a totally transparent one available in this type. The only ones that I could find are for the Nexus One.
Reviews of this one (any colour!) would be good though, looks a slightly bulky in the pictures but I'm guessing it will be the same as the silcone cases.

Got this one today.Am very happy with it. £2.28 delivered

How long did the delivery take? Any chance of pictures? The ones on eBay seem out of proportion for some reason, making the case look a bit bulky.

i ordered it on 3rd May, so just over a week. it's not bulky, it looks the same as the nexus gel cover i've been using for a month when fitted to me.
i'll see if i can sort some pics out later.
the screen protector that comes with it is one of the ones with the 2 tabs to apply, also comes with a cloth.

Thanks for that. I currently have a Nexus cover too. Think I will go ahead and order it. I did actually want a TOTALLY clear (Desire specific) case but as of yet, all those that I've seen are either tinted or coloured.

Nice one. Your pictures do the case far more justice than the ebay pics. The smoked black is starting to grown on me.
@str355: That's an actual 'hard case' isn't it? I do prefer the 'soft' ones.

mistake.... oops

Mine arrived yesterday (DC Mugen), it's a perfect fit for the Desire.
Just a tad bit annoying trying to unlock the phone, you have to press on the button harder with the skin on, and there's less of a 'feel' as to whether the button is pressed down or not.

Any G2 accessories at local Tmo stores?

Looking for some kind of OEM case, Zagg shields, etc. If I got my handset yesterday, surely the stores are building inventory by now - especially for high-margin chinese accessories...
Anyone find G2-specific stuff at their local Tmo shop yet?

I'm not sure but try daydeal.com I know the case I bought from there was a t-mobile accessory but a lot cheaper then t-mobile charges

My local store didn't have any out yet. I know youtube has two videos of a guy showing what cases will be available on launch day. 2 blue or purple hard cases and one clear case with a kick stand.

I was able to find a local t-mobile in Pembroke Pines, FL that had pretty much everything (t-mobile branded, including the BodyGlove case, anti-smudge screen protectors, etc) in stock.
The first store I tried (Hollywood FL) had squat, Radio Shack had no clue when they would be getting the phone (despite supposed availability tomorrow Oct 3 and the huge G2 sign in the store.)
So it's hit or miss, probably comes down to employees being unaware of the box in the back of the store. Maybe best to ask for a manager if you need a quick fix.

I think that's me with the kickstand lol
Sent from my T-Mobile G2

My local store in Huntsville, AL has a pretty good selection of accessories, including a hard case with a removable belt clip that doubles as a kickstand, and screen protectors with anti-smear. They are having a sale where you can get 20% off if you buy 2 accessories or 30% off each if you buy 3 accessories. That's basically enough to cancel out the ridiculously high prices, but I am a fan of instant gratification.
After using the phone for a while in the "black gel" oem case though, it really doesn't feel as good in your hand as it does with just the naked phone. My G2 will be going naked pretty often, I think.

Ok so all my T-Mobile store is selling is 1 Black gel skin, 1 Purple rubbery like gel skin(alot harder than the gel but still flexable), Black Body Glove and Screen Protectors. I have noiced that the Body Glove makes it hard to hit the top row of keys on the G2 so thats why im using just a screen protector and my old G1 sleeve =)

We have about 7 different cases at my store plus the screen protectors. I will take a picture of each tomorrow and post them for you guys.
2 Body glove cases (one skin like weird material and one normal body glove with changeable clip.
Blue and black combo
Purple and black combo
Clear (with kickstand)
Black gel skin
I think there was another but when I was receiving them there was just so much stuff I tried most of em. The best was the body glove skin like one.

my local store had the screen protectors on Friday and they had JUST come in and they hadn't even had time to put them out yet. i had to ask for them and they were behind the desk.
i didnt bother looking to buy anything else since I know the prices are outrageous. I refuse to pay $30 for a car charger I can get online for $6 shipped.

I picked up a case and a couple of micro-usb cables today. They had screen protectors, a couple of different cases, a crappy car/wall charger and micro-usb cables.
The screen protectors that they used to sell for the G1 were crap, not nearly as good as the thing that came with the phone. I suspect the G2 is the same, so I trimmed the little tab and a little off of the bottom of the one that was on the phone and left it on. I suspect it'll work fine for quite a while. Especially now that I have a case. The case seems to be much slimmer and better fitting that the covers for the G1s.

Actully the screen protectors are rather awesome. Make swype super easy. Not even close to they crappy ones for the G1 / mytouch lol. Ill admit those were pretty bad haha I would have kept the stock one but it fell off the first time I put it in my pocket =(

Anyone else have any info on the body glove I'm thinking of picking one up later on today. Are the screen protectors at T-Mobile covering the whole screen or just the LCD part? Does it cover the home, back, etc....

thanks i will too

i got a white one too

Ill post pics ASAP the red one arrived today
sent from my epic 4g with no 4g

I had bougt a pink one for my mom. They are great. Slightly thinner than the cases that have the bar going across. It seems like the phone also slides easier. Not dragging against keyboard. Also makes the phone look sleeker and not so much like the Moment.
Well worth the price. I'd go with one from the op first link, not the second.

THere you go, pics of my white xmatrix case.
The plastic is very thin. It still allows the slider to function with no catches or anything. the bottom piece is easy to remove and it almost a rubbery flexible plastic. Very nice but the top is another thing it was very hard to remove.
Awesome for $5. I chose this over the seidio because of its price and unique looks comparison wise

shoot for 1.45 i might buy 10-15 of these things lol

HTC Original case

I found a case with code HC C740 in a shop in my country...ordered after looking on many sites and pictures with that case...I also found an youtube video about this case..received today....WOW!...AWESOME!...superb finish, personally i think that is the nearest finish to the original...I will post some pictures later, when I`ll be at home...I think that is the best and beautifull case for our lovely device.
Edit: I have the black version of OneS.

skodann do you have any pics of the case on your phone?

I just saw it today in the store, it was a black one.
The kickstand didn't feel too sturdy and the case was a bit bulky, however, I thought it added some substance to the phone being it's almost too thin.

Do you mean this one: http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-one-s-hc-v741-hard-shell-with-cover-and-stand-black
It's the one I got with the phone and from the looks of it, it's actually the same hardshell as the C740, but with an added leather cover for the screen which can also be folded over to use as a stand. Excellent quality and really like it. Two niggly things to note with it are you can't have it plugged in while using it as a stand, and as the leather on the outside is facing whatever surface you have it on while using it as a stand, it can slide about quite easily when trying to use the phone on smooth surfaces (to be clear this is when trying to interact with the screen - e.g typing - not while it is just sitting playing a video). Both minor points for me, and I would recommend this case over just the hardshell due to the screen protection and stand function.
tl:dr version
+excellent htc quality
+screen protection
+stand
+doesn't add much bulk
-can't charge while using it as stand
-can move about on smooth surfaces when using as a stand

i think these are the cases that some are looking for, but they don't seem to be available yet.

I saw those original case and the kickstand in a mall in Toronto !!

I bought the Original HTC Clear-Hardcase and Screen Protector yesterday.
For each I paid 11,99€ which is f*n expensive in my opinion, but I think its well worth it to have original accessories on my baby.
( Original ) Screen Protector
I know this is not the thread for this, but I´ll show it anyway
HTC Clear-Hardcase
Both Products are Tripple-A Quality.
The Screen-Protector Package includes 2 "films". If applied correctly you wont every recognize that theres something on the screen ( like on the photo above ).
I also really like the Hardcase, the only problem with this is that its a little slippery on smooth surfaces.
EDIT:
Both Images are a little bit out-of-focus, since I used a 50mm Objective to take those.
I can take new pictures with another one, if requested.

I got the black case the day after I got my phone, around 5 weeks ago. The finish feels very similar to the black phone itself, with the colour matching.
The case is very slim, and you really wouldn't notice it was there. It adds no real extra size to the phone.
My only small issue with the case is that the top and bottom of the phone are exposed still. I'd prefer a little more coverage, but overall, the case is pretty awesome.

looks a LOT like my case

Rearth Ringke Slim case for Nexus 4 review

** have not received my phone yet **
https://www.rearthusa.com/google-nexus-4-ringke-slim-case
Ordered my nexus 4 and slim case together, got the case today, no sign of my phone yet!
Appearance wise the case looks, as usual, slim - very slim! probably less than 1/2 mm and super light! I have the galaxy nexus slim case as well and there's a leather patch in the back with rearth logo and all. On this one its sketched on the case itself - adding no bulk and probably making it lighter
Design-wise it looks and feels like a premium case, the matte black finish and well cut edges primarily contributes to that. Power button and volume rocker cuts are well tapered - cannot validate the placement though, not without the phone of-course! The material is also somewhere in between sft-tpu and hard-plastic, something that feels natural in hand.
Safety/peace of mind wise, it'll probably feel a little less secure than the galaxy nexus slim case. On the galaxy nexus case the the top and bottom was fully covered, the microUsb and headphone ports were pluggable and the sides ware exposed a bit. In this nexus 4 case the sides are fully covered, top and bottom are exposed and the ports are not pluggable
There's a side-effect of the full side-covered design though (which I cannot confirm right now). According to the reviews the nexus 4, the front glass is slightly tapered on the edges making edge to edge gestures fluid and natural. This might have been more enjoyable with a design similar to galaxy nexus slim case with top and bottom covered and sides exposed. This is not a deal breaker though as ALL the cases available today, including the original bumper case, will have the same side effect. I wish, given the stability/usability of the galaxy nexus slim case, they could have chosen a similar design - it'd have been more enjoyable.
Final words, I love this case!!!
===Update, 14th Dec===
got 2nd rev, first one came with minor defect! got prompt response from them and the revised case. sadly, still its not 100% perfect.
however, given current choices, this is relatively better...

Shouldn't this review go with all the other stuff about this case??

Jst got my case yesterday, and I would honestly wait to see if these go down in price, or just not at all. It doesn't fit snugly on the left side of my device (by the volume rocker), and to me thats a problem. It barely, if at all, protects above the screen line, so it's really for the sides and back. Not a big deal for me, as I never have my phone on its screen, but at $12 shipped - I expect more.

you love this case, yet you don't even have a phone to try it on?

The case really feels good in hand, its super-light and I'm sure for a <$10 case, this will exceed expectation!
I'll update the review once I get the phone, just got my shipping confirmation! It should be in before the weekend - I hope.

They are sending me a revised case next week, I like it...but it's not snug and the bottom rubs on my hand weird. So I may not use it as my primary case.

mine was the rev1, defective - the left side was not snug fit! they're sending a new one, should be arriving in couple of days...
It feels good in hand but given the aesthetics of beautiful glass-back, I'm tempted to tryout the bumpers! damn both oem and poetic are out of stock...

The listing on amazon.com says it's for a revised case. Mine shipped today so if I'm lucky and it beats the USPS shipping estimate I'll have it before the weekend.

Not sure whether or not my replacement case is going to be trackable but hoping that it will be.

Yeah I really wish they had covered the top / bottom and left the sides exposed. Dunno why they didn't do that again

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Edit: Just checked my email from the previous ticket that the person on CSR emailed me (just remembered that they sent me an follow up email when I contacted them about it). Noticed that there was actually a USPS tracking code and label already created. Looks like it's already being processed. Definitely customer support is up there from Rearth.
@Ngo93: Yeah I'm not sure why they made the case even more minimal but personally for me I like the N4 version a lot better mainly because of the material being used from the back. It is very pleasant to hold in the hands. My only complaints at this time would be that if your hands are dirty, it does get dirty from the back but other than that it's not much. Easily cleanable.

My new updated case shipped 2 days ago, hopefully I'll have it by tomorrow

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I looked at this case too, but ended up with something else because it doesn't cover all the front edges. Before my brand new N4 I had a iPhone 3GS with a case like this one. After a while all the chrome on the top edges were getting scuffed and scratched. I recommend something that covers everything but the screen, if you want a scratch-free N4.

Got my updated case, and it's 100x better. The piece in the upper left corner is bigger, but not obtrusive and fixes all the issues we had before.
