Uni TPU Case for HTC Desire from Expansys

Hi
Anyone here got this case? Looks good, what is the material like? they say its not silicone but still flexible?
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=199613

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.

[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

[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.

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

This looks really nice. Just picked one up.

I just picked up a white one too. They look pretty nice. I may end up grabbing the official clear case if I can find it in stock. Wasn't going to use a case, but the camera sticking out kind of worries me. I am really easy on my devices, but I'm concerned the lens will get scratched just from sitting it on my desk. These cases look like they have a lip that will prevent the lens from touching when sitting the phone down.

Interesting have one like that. Thin, matte finish, but the fit is a little tight (can scratch the smooth sides). Not very protective, and there are a few open spaces around the sides, but I like it. It DOES protect the camera lens. As for the screen protector, haven't found one that fits well on the convex sides of the screen.

So with people now saying that the camera glass on the LTE version sits inside the metal ring (barely,but enough to prevent scratches), I may buy this case and get a dock, I was avoiding it because I didn't want scratches on the lens.

I'll probably pick up this Seidio Active case/holster combo once it becomes available (I have the identical one for my Inspire 4G).
The Surface version is the only one available now but I prefer the less hard case design of the Active.
I'm not sure about my screen protector of choice. I probably need to figure that out.

Based on my ATT HTC One X, I don't see the metal ring protruding at all. Maybe a tiny bit, but it is barely perceptible. If the glass is below the metal ring it is just a few micrometers. A single grain of sand would be more than enough to make up the distance and scratch it up

The surface case on their site only says it's for the GSM version, while a lot of their other cases list the GMS and LTE versions. I thought they were supposed to be exactly the same, except for the CPU and storage.

There are reports that there is a slight size difference between the One X and AT&T One X (One X LTE/One XL). I haven't verified it myself but it would make sense that the Surface would have two versions (the hard case would need to be more exacting than the soft/semi-soft Active cases).
Quoteth the Wiki:
The One XL is almost identical physically although the XL is slightly longer by 0.04mm.

Very slight.
Incidentally, the product code for the Surface LTE version is CSR3HTNXL-BK. BD2-HR3HTNXL-BK is the Surface case/holster combo.

Me too, I just got the Platinum series from best buy which is the same as the Seidio surface. It sucked. The texture was really rubbery and kind of waxy to the touch and the front protection came wayyy to far in covering too much of the screen.
I can tell you guys this much. NO ONE, NO ONE makes a better case than the current OEM Nokia Lumia people. I have owned a Lumia 800 and N9 and the cases they make for those phones which is built like the One X(I think HTC jacked Nokia design) is perfect. You can't even tell there is a case on there. Not very protective but a beautiful case if you are just trying to preserve the body of the phone.

It is because you are looking for the perfect one! The problem is sometimes you can only see a case online. Then when it gets to you there are many qualities that don't show through a computer screen like the feel of it, the size of the material, does it collect lint, are the cutouts in the right place, is the fit right. If something bothers you then off to the next case or two or TWELVE lol!

I have a real bad ebay habit. Among all the crap I buy from there, I tend to order a bunch of phone accessories. I actually love ordering stuff from china because it's cheap as hell and takes forever to get here. By the time it arrives I had already forgotten about it and then it's a pleasant surprise. I literally have crap being delivered to me every day. I just got another case today. A cheap $2 silicone one that I will never use. I need to stop.

I really like my Platinum case. I'm fond of the texture (and so is HTC and Motorola, since my previous two phones have the same texture on their cases) and I don't think there is any issue with the screen whatsoever. There are 2mm of space between the visible portion of the screen and the case... I'm really not seeing the issue with that?
