Hello everyone,
I am doing a research on the boxwave Keyboard Buddy Case for our HTC DESIRE HD. Would you like to have one for our phones, your input will be very highly appreciated, as it will enable me to make an order above 150 units and also boost confidence among DESIRE HD users to have an attachable keyboard for the phone.
I am once again asking everyone to vote in the polls and do it very sincerely as it will help me decide to contact the company and order 100-150 units so that they can possibly build one for our HTC DESIRE HD. Also please comment why you would like to have one, how much would you like to have one for.
Here is one of the picture of Boxwave Handy Case for iPhone 4 :

You can also post your request on their website for one for our phones:
http://www.boxwave.com/community/request/index.htm
I know there are bluetooth keyboard devices available for the phone, but this one is special, you can attach it with your phone and it has a very sleek and thin design making it hide under the phone and become just invisible.
I just contacted Boxwave and here is what they said.
Surely you should just get the desire z if you want a slide out keyboard??

I would definitely like to get one but you are quoting a price of about 100$, and IMHO its too much to ask for. If its somewhat cheaper then many of us DHD userss will buy it.
Though I appreciate the effort and hope that the deals goes through.!

Same here...I would definitely be interested, although the price would have to be right too.
That is only a tentative price, the original price would be 2folds cheaper.
I think this is a brilliant idea, I have some regrets as to not getting a desire Z and this case would complete my DHD and make it the most perfect phone
Hi, more than interested, but...... are you sure that the keyboard connects to the DHD?
(I have currently a silicon keyboard which I cannot use with my DHD - simply doesn't connect; paired yes but tt's it....)
Rerding the rate, it is marked from 69.95usd, so I imagine that this would be easible as well for us?
Count me in... if it works properly
I've just requested as per first post!
Awesome. Lets get this thing working.

Yeah, I don't regret not getting the z because the screen size is so much smaller, but coming from nokia n900 I really do miss my keyboard.
Do you guys think it will kill the battery life with BT turned on 24/7?
I am expecting in-house keyboard. That will utilize our desire hd's micro USB. How about a keyboard with a battery at the bottom of it. Wow that is too much asking hahaha.

Next question... how much?
Your wife should make these and sell them on eBay, considering the time spent in making one of these, you should charge what you think is right
She could make cool pouches for phones (i.e. htc desire and nexus one as they practically have the same dimensions), less time consuming and they would definately sell like hotcakes!

I'm not really too sure that I like the coverage on that case. Doesn't look like it covers anything on the entire bottom surface of the phone, and that a likely place to get dropped onto. I do like the kick stand, but I don't know if I would/will buy it without good protection. What good is a cool case when you can't watch anything because you have a broken phone..
Wow that price is ridiculous for something that hardly protects the phone
Where are you guys ever that you don't have a larger screen (laptop or a tv) available? I'm not trying to be a jerk, just wondering. I had an evo for a while and the only thing I found useful for that kickstand is as an alarm clock.

Awesome dude. I've been watching that case and was wondering when someone would do a review for it. Can you tell me the size after? maybe a before and after side by side? I love the slimness of the phone so I don't want added bulk.
Thanks!

It adds some bulk; nothing mayor that can't be dealt with. It kind of feels like the HTC Thunderbolt. But still, it feels like it will protect it against any fall. The pro is the kickstand.

If this is true, sweet. I know that this doesn't replace the OEM battery but instead will plug into the USB Port instead. Or atleast I think. I know the mophey juice packs for iPhone work this way because its to hard to replace the battery and omg did it do wonders for that phone.

That's a sweet idea hopefully it doesn't interfere with the GPS like "thicker" batteries did on other devices.

It probably will in all honesty, but the great thing about it is, with this using the USB port to attach with, it will mean that removal will not cause your phone to shut off. If I remember correctly the EVO extended battery replaces the OEM battery and it hurt the GPS. So if you want to use GPS and the battery kills ur signal, pop it off and put it back on when you get there

Couldn't agree more! If GPS is needed like mentioned above you can take off the case without it killing the phone! Can't wait for this to come out!

I don't have my HOX yet, but I will this weekend. Coming from a captivate and a MyTouch 3G, the only arm band that was worth anything is the TuneBelt. They make them for different screen sizes, not individual phones. I believe their AB86 model should fit the HOX. They also sell an extender for people with large biceps, so you don't have to worry if you get it and it's too small for your arm.

Agreed. This one is sufficient. I haven't been able to find any others that work/fit to the degree that this one does. Haven't tried the tube sock idea. There was definitely another thread somewhere in these forums with the same question, but i dont recall much resolution coming at the time it was posted, but that's where I initially saw the tube sock idea...
This one here looks good, and it's cheap. I think I'll go with this one soon.
http://www.amazon.com/Fitness-Pal-Black-Sports-Armband/dp/B00880HEM6/ref=pd_cp_cps_0
I tired the tube sock idea yesterday and it just wasn't up to par... When I would sprint the sock would slide down my arm even though it was still tight.): I guess I'll have to shell out some money for a real armband.

Dunno If getting the ab86 or the ab85, the last seems to fit the otterbox cases and I have the incipio silicrylic... If anyone have one of this and can tell if the ab86 is enough or really need the ab85.
I actually have the AB83 and it was for my captivate in its case, but it also fits the HOX without anything on it. It is a tight fit but it works enough to not have to upgrade to another armband.
