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!

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....

Guys do any of you know how to select/buy the leather case showed in this page?( at the bottom of the page-->accessories)
http://www.omnia7.samsungmobile.com/
No, but I had the same question, just look a few threads under yours.
There should be handsets that have roughly the same measurements. Cases for these could be a workaround until something perfect is released. Problem is, I don't know how to efficiently find out which ones would fit. If somebody with a bit of spare time could find out, that would be great.

That case is an optional boxed accessory that networks/resellers can choose to offer their customers - and not something being sold (yet, at least) separately to customers. At least that's what Samsung UK told me when I asked.
i've seen some over at mobilefun.codotuk, including silicone covers and what i think is some sort of hard gel...anti shock cases... and the leather one you speak of.

Hi any updates? I should be recieving my omnia 7 soon and want to get a decent case/screen protector as well.
Cheers
oh well, I ended up ordering that silicon case. I am also going to get some screen protectors/films just in case.
Sorry...sorry sorry... totally forgot lol, Will upload now. Going to go take some pics downstairs in good light.
Long post of Pics for anyone wondering what the Omnia 7 black silicone case looks like on the phone as not many suppliers seem to have pics on the ads yet. *when i bought it anyway* - Yes mine has a screen protector I think it looks fine with the case as you cannot see the edges on the glass much apart from two pics which show the holes around the windows button and the ear piece / sensors.
*4th pic down if you zoom in shows what the screen protector does as already my phones been across a few of the slate tiles in the kitchen*
I think I found the perfect 3rd-party case for the phone The 'Valente Leather Pocket 15'. It's still a little tight (not too tight) but I reckon it will loosen up in a few days as it is genuine leather... so the fit will be great!
Bought it for €15,- @ a retailer called the Phonehouse in the Netherlands.
also available online at: pdashop.nl/product/108532/
images below (note: although the phone doesn't stick out as much as in pic 1 when you push it as far as possible into the case, the corners do stick out just 1mm. so that's only a real concern when you drop it head-down)
Nice,
Found a few for
£3.99 + free p&p

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leather-Track..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2a0c26fc8a
£1.99 + free p&p. Looks very similar
Just ordered it the first one, so hoping it fits the phone with the silicone, If not, Extra one for when i get the missus one of these phones.... *sigh*
I have already used up 4 of the 6 screen protectors provided and still can't get it to set without any bubbles. Any tips would be welcome.
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.
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-OEM-HTC-T-M..._Accessories&hash=item45f8cc4577#ht_989wt_689
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.

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

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

heres the link for the krussel one guys its really nice, ive been using it for over a week and its brilliant. top quality!
I've been looking around for a replacement housing for my G2, it's pretty knocked up (bought it 2nd hand), had a look at faulty used phones and official replacement housing, but both are surprisingly expensive (you wouldn't believe how much people pay for an old waterdamaged phone with an unrepairable screen and dents left right and centre.
Anyway, I've seen a full housing (minus screen/ glass) by Ecell which is (quote) "New Genuine ... For HTC Desire Z", previously it was £300ish on eBay, I've now seen it for under a tenner (still direct from Ecell).
Thing is it's black, so the use of the word "genuine" is questionable (do they mean "genuine" Ecell, or "genuine" HTC?), although in the description they say "Official HTC product". Also I've never bought anything Ecell before.
I just wanted to know if any of you guys have bought one of these replacement housings, or anything from Ecell before? Feedback would be greatly appreciated .
Best I have found is about 40$ for a full housing replacement OEM, if considered it the past but haven't been able to justify that just for aesthetics. I recently stopped using my dock and just use one of the original T-Mobile cases I fond for a few bucks (thick rubber, bulky but real nice) since then I gave up on pretty.
Never bought from ecell before so I couldn't attest to their reputation
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've seen the E-CELL product on eBay for about 10 pounds and it seems a good price for it.
However, while I'm not sure of its' quality, for that value I'd be willing to take a risk and see what's it about.
@demkantor Thanks, according to Google $40 = £25, and official HTC housing goes for around £30, which is absurd 'cause that's well over half of what I paid for my G2. I don't fancy a case, the Vision is already thick and heavy without one (can you even use the keyboard with a case on? )
@geojoking Yep, that's the one I found, previously £300 (wtf?!). Unless anyone highly cautions against Ecell I might go for it, besides as you say it is less than £10 so probably worth the risk. Anyway, if I do get it I can post a review here !
you can slide it fine, i would prefer not to use one but im running low on spare phones at the moment and i dont mind the bulk, but yes definitely bulkier!
i believe the original leaked photos of the g2/dz were of a black model or at least real dark grey. supposedly there is some mystic black version that is near impossible to get a hold of with a different bootloader then all the others, it had a different name but fell under the vision still i believe... cant remember much about it
so that would mean its possible these are genuine and being they were once 300 that may mean that ecell had them since the very beginning as when phones first come out parts like this tend to cost more than a new phone! they could have gotten the original casting and colors prerelease to the public... just a thought
either way for that price go for it, if it turns out not to fit not a huge loss, if it works great then you have one of the few(if any) black visions!
i would suggest getting some 3m adhesive tape (2mm?) as moving the digitizer will require this as well as holding down the flex. let me know how it turns out! maybe ill try it myself
I saw these a while back, almost bought it but was sceptical of the quality. Really wish I did now..
I recently bought two of these assuming them to be the genuine Sony ones. The page claims they are and they even arrived in boxes that looked right.
They are Chinese fakes though. There are a few tell-tell signs like blurry box text and poor fitment.
Honestly, I wouldn't really mind if they actually did the job properly but they don't. Having now bought an official one from the Sony store (at double the price, sadly) the differences are notable. It's just a much better quality thing.
The fakes are much lighter plastic which doesn't feel solid when the phone is in it. The fit is too tight for the Z5 and would definitely scratch it after a few times slotting it in and out. The USB plug is poorly aligned so the phone doesn't lock on very easily. The rubber bottom designed to prevent slip is glued on so weakly that taking off the protective plastic pulls the rubber off!
There seem to be a few sellers on Amazon purporting to sell official Sony ones but, from what I can tell, they are all fakes. The clue is that they are selling them for less than half the price that Sony is.
If you want to take a chance on them, that's fine, but you should know what you're getting and it's NOT an official Sony product.
Hmm I'm a bit concerned now I'll ask my missus where she got mine from as the only bad I noticed was taking the protective of the non slip foam

I guess you were buying from the Marketplace and the seller is not directly Amazon. The advantage of Amazon is that you can easily return such products and you get your money back. It's impossible for Amazon to determine if sellers do ship the product they advertise. Maybe you need to look for one with a reasonable price and not the very cheap ones.

No it was direct from Amazon. They refunded me immediately, no problems there, just trying to save anyone else the time and effort. Trouble is, I didn't know how much they were supposed to be, to know these were cheap. Amazon was the first place I looked and they obviously appear to be genuine Sony.
Oh... that is something rare I think and never happened to me. But thanks for sharing this... I know it's sometimes a pain to get original accessories at a reasonable price avoiding replicas.
would you mind telling us which seller or maybe provide a link? I was actually about to purchase one last week.
This is the one I bought: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DK52-M...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
There are others which also look to be fakes too though, so be careful.
Compatibility question...
Is anyone using this stand with a TPU case on the phone?
I have this Ringke case (https://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Protector-Protection-Absorption-Technology/dp/B019773VE8/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1505221504&sr=1-1&keywords=B019773VE8)
