Our Desire is "Desire A8181" not "Desire 6200"

Just to clarify the confusion that some people have..
there is another phone some call HTC Desire, which is actually "HTC Eris Droid" which has a kinda code name as 6200
Our desire is A8181
don't buy any accessories for the 6200 desire

yeah! I almost got caught out with that as well.

I ordered a gel ebay case for the Desire 6200, it arrived and didn't fit at all, but the same day I received an e-mail from the seller giving me a full refund for it

@jamiepyrite, I contacted the seller saying the case didn't fit and I got a refund as well!
Now I need a silicone case that actually fits my phone...

I don't! The Nexus One silicon case I got fits perfectly. In fact, I kinda LIKE the fact that the power and volume buttons are covered. They still work fine, and it makes it less easy to press them accidentally!

its not a problem at all if they're covered...which case are u talking about?!

It's probably the case I've just got for mine today from Mobilefun :
Bah - new user so cant add the link but its the 'flexishield-skin-for-the-htc-desire-black-p24206' (£10.47 plus p&p)

Leather Case

Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone knows if this phone will ship with a leather case? The only other HTC phones I've had are the Touch Diamond and the Touch Pro 2, both shipped with cases, so I'm feeling hopeful. Just wondered if anyone knew for sure?

Well the g2 hasn't from the looks of it so I doubt it. My hero didn't come with one a year ago either.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

From a description I read previously, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. But, then again, I'm pretty sure in the description, it said it came with an 8gb card, and another member said he was told it didn't come with a card!
However, since you can buy a leather slip case seperately for this, I'm gonna go ahead and say that it won't come with a leather case...

Every HTC device that I've ever bought has shipped with a leather case.. so.. I think yes... but we'll see.

I just got mine today and sadly it does not come with a leather case.

But does come with 8GB class 2, which I changed it asap with my 8GB Class 6 lol

@Orite
You're talking of TMobile G2, not HTC Desire Z
They're the same phone, but we can never be sure if it's coming with the same accessories!
I'm waiting for my Desire Z...when it'll come to me I'll update you on the included accessories ^^

Well' I don't worry so much about phone case, I have order a quality case from Ebay

Having kept my Raphael (touch pro) and the case it was shipped with as a pair permenantly for the last 2 years I would hope it does come with a case......the desire didnt afaik.
Ive spotted a fairly tidy looking official HTC case here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-desire-z-pouch-po-s540-p26020.htm

this policy seems to have changed more recently, I used to get one with htc phones up till the magic, but then hero, legend and desire all didn't come with a case

Hi,
When I've ordered the HD2, the case arrived in the box as well.
A month later I have ordered a Touch2 for my friend and there was no case in the box.
So ... we will see what is in the box when it arrives, hope there will be no difference in accessories between countries where the phone will be delivered.

If htc cheaps out of a leather case for the Desire Z, the G2 forums are reporting that the original G1 case, easily found on eBay for cheap, fits the G2 perfectly.

I have owned a Hero and a Desire (Bravo) and neither of those came with a case of any sort.

This one looks good making use of the flip out keyboard without taking it out of the case:

Just the case I ordered one week ago. Free shipping worldwide

Interesting. Not sure how much that plastic over the keys would annoy me, though. I almost think I'd rather have a slip pouch that I'd have to remove the phone from each time than type through plastic. I dunno, I really did have my heart set on something I'd be able to type on while still in the pouch.

not a huge fan of leather cases tbh..seems to add a lot of perceived bulk to the phone. a clear crystal case would be fine i think..but at the moment, not many options! guess i'll just have to take extra care when i get my phone in 2 days! =D

In my opinion Noreve has the best leather cases. These case's have a stable metal frame inside the stitch edges.

Just had a look and yes, their cases look great. Could only see a pouch style case for the DZ, though. Went ahead and sent them an e-mail asking if they planned to develop a flip style case and I received this back...
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your email.
This case is under production. We will launch it in less than 1/2 weeks. http://www.noreve.com/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_Desire_Z_Tradition.html
We will inform you as soon as we launch it on-line.
Thank you for your interest in our brand.
My best regards,
Cynthia

Really looking forward to this if they make it right.

[Q] Kickstand

Does anyone have any clue whether a kickstand case will become available, or if one will be made? I'm sorta jealous about the EVO I was seriously considering buying a dummy EVO, extracting the stand and hacking it onto the HD, but then I remembered the HD is unibody aluminium :/ Haha so yea

I want one too...
found this:
seidioonline.com/product-p/csr6hev4-bl.htm
but it probably wont fit
Dimensions
DHD 123 x 68 x 11.8 mm
EVO 4G 1 22 x 66 x 13 mm

That case wont work as it just has a cut out for the evo's kickstand to come through

So what that case has a gap for a kickstand despite it being for the dhd
EDIT: Nevermind, that case wouldn't be too god because of the port locations and general size.
Sent using my two thumbs.

Ok, I have thought a bit about this. Would you guys think it would be possible to do this.
Get a case, eg casemate, cut a bit out for the kickstand, buy the dummy evo unit, extract the kickstand, fix it onto the case itsself, not the actual phone.

or we could wait for sedio to make a case for HTC Inspire (renamed desire hd) with a kickstand... Until then MrYuiM could try and make a case with a kickstand

I have a feeling that by the time i have enough money and resources there'll be one out ha. My friend on the bud has an ipod touch case with s kickstand and I have to say it looks pretty sleek. Oh, is Seido a good company?

I havent used seidio products yet, seen them recommended on this forum...

you could try this lol thinking the case would cost £3

[Q] Best G2/Desire Z Pouch style case

Hi Everyone,
Just got myself a nice unlocked and unbranded Desire Z (UK) at the weekend. I remember reading that the original G1 pouch is a good fit for the Desire Z, but I seem to have misplaced mine. Is there anywhere I can get an official one cheap, or has anyone come across any nice alternatives that are similar?
I remember liking the neoprene outer and soft liner of the OEM G1 pouch, it's a shame HTC aren't shipping them with this phone.

Ebay has a ton of them for like 6 bucks, that's where I got mine for my G2

Is it decent quality though? And do you have a link to the listing?

I don't have a link on me but its the same pouch that the G1. Its the exact official pouch

Oh ok, well I am going to have a better look for mine tonight. If not I will find one on ebay.

Just do a search for oem g1 pouch

The neoprene cases by BUILT are another option you may want to consider if you can afford to pay a bit more. They're extremely well crafted (good materials and stitching) and are a perfect fit... builtny.com

The only problem with that is, I live in the UK, and I don't want to pay for ridiculous shipping costs just for a pouch.
I have ordered a cheap knock off from ebay and will see how good quality that is, if it's rubbish I will look for a better one, maybe get the one you suggest.

If you got the oem case like I linked its the one that htc sent...not a cheap generic.

I already ordered it before you posted your link, but thanks anyway, I will probably get one of those if this is crap.

Ok let me know if you can't get the oem let me know, I'm in the states but shipping something that small shouldn't be that expensive to ship to the uk.

Yeah, it should be cheap, but it's still going to be more than one from the UK. Doesn't matter anyway, i guess no one else has any pouch recommendations.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z

Has anyone seen the tmobile one for the mytouch 4g? Its leather but not bulky and has a cut out slot at the bottom I'm guessing to see the track pad flashing.. I'm using my g1 one sometimes and a sidekick one other times..seems like that one would be the best of both worlds if it fits

Might be a bit late, but if the pouch you got turned out to be crap then I highly recommend (what I think is) the official Desire Z case found at clove.co.uk http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-desire-z-po-s540-pouch-case It's a leather pouch, with a lining similar to that used in the creen sleaning cloths (so cleans you're screen when you put it in/take it out!) It's a very snug fit, excellent quality and has the HTC logo pressed on it, so I assume it's genuine. It also comes with a tab you pull to take the phone out as it's a very secure fit. I can't speak more highly of a case for a phone than this! Even if you already have one, I still recommend you check it out, it's a uk website and only £9
EDIT: £10.80 inc VAT, possibly also p+p fees.

look for a krussel pouch, its thick real leather... very nice, i have one, its around £10, off ebay. hope this helps

Just searched for "krussel pouch" on eBay and it came up with zero results. I've been thinking about maybe getting a pouch case just to change things up a bit.

No, the one where the phone fits in vertically (portrait). Saw a couple on Amazon, but not sure if that's the route I want to go. Still thinking about it though.

I picked this up and it works perfect, nice tight fit

Second on the case question...

It won't fit with any case. It holds just the phone, nicely though.

No case will fit .. there is however a fella on eBay that sells custom made holders for the Desire HD/Inspire 4G with either the Otterbox Defender or Commuter Cases .. only problem, you're going to pay $30 for that holder.
Here is the link for those holders:

Thx for the link. Just ordered mine. Can't wait for it to arrive!

I got something similar from china for $5. It works fine and like this one no case on the phone.
I wanted the original one from HTC but it's almost $50.

Same seller has an adjustable holder. It necessarily looks a little more clunky than the one tailored to the Desire HD/Inspire.
For seven dollars, I think I'll give it a shot.
I would post a link, but I need to go post some more first!
Hit the original link and browse the vendor's store and you should see it.

It arrived and it works. Should fit pretty much any case or phone. Rotates through three hundred and sixty degrees and I can still plug in a power and audio cable. The holding mechanism works quite well. There are two hard "prongs" holding the bottom of the phone in place, and two ratcheting grips on either side that are pushed closed. They have rubber padding. I was concerned they would hold down the volume control but it isn't an issue.

That's pretty cool looking.
