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.
Today to the first 500 people or something similar to that StealthGuard is giving away their StealthGuards for free.

Don't order a ton, who knows how long they will do this for.
Just saw this on AndroidForums, thanks for the tip rubi76.
Just 2.85 USD! I couldn't turn it down... I will let you know how it is... I bought the BSE last time and gave up trying to put it on... although I will be keeping my phone in an otterbox defender I want to try this out!
Yeah, I ordered one as well. How can you say no when you just pay for shipping.
cheers. ordered one too, hopefuly it wont take too long to ship from the US to england.
Thanks. 4.88 USD, I ordered two. Now my Dad can't say I don't think of him. Haha.
Ordered one too, only 2,24€!
Good looking out. I ordered one too. I wonder if i can put this on inside my Defender case, and if so, how will it change my touch screen performance? Can't be too careful, right?
Just got one thanks for the heads up
thanks! got mine for $2.84! hopefully its good!
I've been looking for a case for long time just ordered one, thanks a lot!
Nice! Ordered 2 as well. Will let you guys know how long international shipping takes.
Thanks for the info, been looking for one and couldn't pass up this deal
=D ordered one too. A friend sms'ed me about it
I like these a lot actually. I've never used THIS brand, but I ordered invisibleSHIELD by ZAGG when I initially purchased my Nexus One in February. Its been great for me. My only complaint, as you see in the pictures, is it leaves small areas uncovered (along the crease lines). Its such a small area, but of course mine got a small nick right in between on the side crease when my son pulled it off of the dresser.
Other then that, it saved my ass when I was moving a dresser and metal pieces and one hit my pocket and put a thick scratch on my screen protector that's part of this shield but did not go through.
I'd order this for the $2.34 but I LITERALLY don't even have $2 in my account until Tuesday, as sad as that is lol.
Awesome! Thanks!
just ordered two of them thinks for the tip sir... was going to order like ten but then i said thats not nice lol so only two but thanks
Thanks OP. Got myself one. Even though i havent put on my bestskinsever, couldnt miss out for $2.85.
Wow just noticed its not just for the N1. Its for every phone on their site. First 1000.
Amazing, just got myself one, can't beat the $2.85 price!
I cant place my order, paypal send me and error:
You have written non valid characters in this box...
WTF?
QUESTION
I um also ordered also ordered one for my coworkers iphone4 and my boss blackberry curve she paid the shipping so it was free all the way good find op... but question how long does shipping take
Read all about the otter case in a review for the straight desire - the defender model it was.
I wasnt overly impressed.
So in light of this can yuo accessory experts point me what YOU think is the best usable (I.E. doesnt look like a tank or bomb shelter) case. I am thinking somethin silicon?
anyway, would really love ya expert opinions! I need to protect my phone - more frlom falls than anything else, am a fairly cluimsy 6'4'' so it has a long way to drop!
respect!

I made it yesterday to try and help people to decide what to get as a case for their HTC desire HD. I tried the HTC S550 pouch and 2 silicon cases. Didn't really know what I was going to say so I just started talking and showed my DHD a little with its accessories (still in love with it) but at the end I dropped my Desire HD on the floor luckily my appartment is all carpet

I bought the exact same gel case as you showed in the video (grey). I bought it from an ebaystore called Londonmagicstore. I paid 3gbp including shipping to sweden. Fast and reliable. As I don't have the DHD yet (is to be released next week in sweden) I hope it fits.

Helpfull video mate. I just ordered two silicon/gel cases from Ebay myself and they bought are coming with protective film for the screen. I am really looking forward to getting them as I am paranoid about damaging my new DHD.
Thx for the video - off to watch it now!
The best protective case by far, and the case I use on my HTC HD, Samsung Galaxy s and HTC desire, is the Pdair aluminium metal case.
http://www.pdair.com/
Unfortunately, for some strange reason, they don´t plan to make this case for HTC Dsire HD
If you are interested, drop the a mail and request that they make a aluminium case for the HTC Desire HD as well. [email protected]
Just thought I'd vouch for the eBay cases! Remember, they all come from the same factories in China, you're only paying extra for the branding 'SuperShield' 'MegaCase' etc. There are some exceptions but very few. I bought my case for £2.35 with a screen protector and it's perfect, a great fit and nice feel! I've never spent more than a couple of pounds on silicone/plastic cases or screen protectors and all of my phones remained in perfect condition months after I bought them. Will post links soon.
Regards.
Cannot see anyone being unhappy with this case..... £2.65 an absolute bargain.
eBay
Regards.
just bagged one of those from ebay - so thanks and yeah will feedback what I think of the case and protector!

£2.65? The price following that link is £29.65?
Edit: Strange, but found the cheap ones must of been a mistake!
just paid under 3 quid for it.

Now that is strange! When I click the link it says the seller has updated his listing and the price shows £29.65!!! I've emailed the seller to ask what is going on as it definitely was £2.65 this morning. Maybe the increased traffic spooked him .
Anyway just to reinforce my point regarding the branding of goods from the same Chinese source, here is CaseHut's listing for the ORB Gel Case..... look familiar?? £5.99 plus postage..... hmmmm!!
Anyway, the case fits well and gives good protection. All buttons are placed correctly and the camera lens, flash and charger port all have good access. Hope this shows that you can keep your expensive phone SAFE without breaking the bank.
Regards.
I received my silicone case I paid 2.95 for on eBay today and the quality is great the fit is perfect and it doesn't make the phone too bulky. Another thing is the case makes pressing the power and volume buttons a lot easier
So overall I am delighted with the case.

metal case here for 15 smackeroons...sems ok. anyone bought this one? Any good?
I guess the seller hopes that someone actually buys it without noticing the high price. He must know that others recommend this product, and well, sneakily tries to make huge profit....

It works great to me, the case and email updates. I wasn't sure how much I would like the case with it being open at the top and bottom, but it is surprisingly made really well, especially for how cheap it was. I would buy another very quickly.
As far as email updates, I get them the moment they hit my computer most of the time so I don't have the same issue.
We got the "AG Findings Purple Ballistic Smooth Gell Case" they were selling at the USA AT&T store. Its a nylon rubbery thing with 4 sets of different coloured drop-protection corners you can swap out. It has cutouts in all the right spots and seems to work well. At $30 list its way overpriced, but for the $15 we paid, its not that bad. Likely better quality than the $5 amazon/ebay stuff out there.
Take a look here:

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.
I'll post pictures when I can tomorrow. I have the teal/pink one.

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.

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.
