Just received an ebay silicon skin for my desire but looks like its for a htc desire 6200?! whatever that is , so it doesnt line up the camera,etc.
Can anyone recommend one that fits the desire well.
Found this one, does anyone have it?

They look like a perfect fit for the nexus one so should fit the desire fine.
Personally im holding out until official htc desire ones are released and not just re badged nexus one accessories.

FloatingFatMan in the 'Cases / screen protectors / accessories' thread got one in an accessories pack. He said it was a tight fit but that it fit well and holes were in the right places etc but it really is just a nexus one case. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653586&page=13
I sent a query to mobilefun yesterday about the cases and they replied:
Hi Grant,
We will be getting specific Desire case's over the next few weeks so keep an eye on the website for updates.
Kind Regards

So it may be worth waiting a while for the desire specific accessories to show up still.

Thanks, flexisheild is currently out of stock at mobilefun. Should be back in 2-3 days according to their site.
One word of warning, dont by the silicon skin off ebay for the htc desire 6200. It doesnt fit. Only cost £2 from hong kong but still.
I can confirm that paulruk just said: that HTC Desire 6200 silicone skin definitely does NOT fit the Desire. Luckily, it was very cheap...
I bought 2 of these for £3.50 of the Bay....Check out item http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110515947006&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Think they've been sent today, but not sure how long they'll take to arrive. They look exactly the same as the mobilefun ones though.
lol, i took a chance and bought those same ones for approx £2.50 from the same seller earlier
not quite sure what's going on with his listings, but he has the same items listed at different prices
view his other items, then search for "nexus" and sort by Price + P&P: lowest first
these are the ones i bought:

They are the same product as the mobile fun ones.
Mobilefun buys them wholesale from china for like $1 a case and then resells them here, the ebay sellers do the same but cheaper.

let us now when you actually have it and take some shots
I was ready to buy one from a Nexus One user for 20GBP - no one wanted to sell it
Well, now you can get on on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OEM-Neoprene-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item255a44941a
Granted it's from Hong Kong and will probably not be such high quality as the actual OEM ones, but we'll see.
I'll post some pictures when I get it...
Looks good! Looking forward to read how you like it.
Similar to this one that I ordered:

That one is just a G1 case called differently. It will fit Desire, but it's different from Nexus One case.

great! thx for the link, thats cheap
Hopefully the quality won't be as low as the price
Would this case be loose enough to accommodate both the Desire and a gel case, like flexi-shield?
I doubt it because on Nexus One it's pretty tight. Though for that price you might get it and try to stretch it.

Yeah, I'm just hoping it's compatible with my android phone.
Regarding the difference between the oem pouch for desire and nexus one,
i got a reply from the seller and he said this:
No friend,the one for G7 is a little bigger than this one you were order,do you want to change it?
Wait for your reply, Regards!!

Strange, why would it need to be bigger? dont both phones have the same dimensions?

Not that great of a deal IMO. They have been selling for that here on the marketplace for a while. Since he doesn't have to ship or pay fees, I'd show up with $400.

He said it's only 2 days old and is in perfect condition. Considering I paid $600 for my grey one, I'd say that's a good deal. It's the lowest price I was able to get off craigslist. I refuse to buy one that I can't physically check out first, so the marketplace is out of the question.

Lol, it was worth a try If I was able to have another device I would purchase the S3 to go a long with the One X. I was thinking about getting rid of the X for the S3 but this device is just beautiful. If only HTC could get there build quality back to what it use to be. Before purchasing this phone I've never had to replace a device due to issues. I've had this one swapped out 3 times.

Yeah I dunno what their deal is. When I first got mine it was rock solid but as you know my screen is clicking now and it's annoying the crap out of me. One of the reasons why I want this white one is so I can root and ROM it and exchange my grey one for a new one tomorrow and not have to care about it being stuck on stock 1.85 for a while.
I am interested in the S3 but I think it's ugly as hell. Definitely can't hold a candle to the One X in the looks department.

Ya, it looks exactly like the S2 with a different shape. HTC nailed it with this phone. Definitely the best looking phone I've ever seen. Bad thing is, I swapped mine out for signal dropping and not coming back on by itself so I swapped it out and the new one does the exact same thing plus has a little blemish that nobody would ever notice but me and my OCD and it's on 1.85. My other was perfect besides that one issue and it was unlocked. I wish I could have it back. Now I'm past my 30 days.

That's got to be frustrating as hell. Have you called AT&T about it? Supposedly they are pretty good with warranty replacements. Let them know about your issue, maybe they'll give you another one. And 1.85 WILL get rooted so just sit tight
I used to switch between a white and black iPhone. I've been contemplating this dame thing with white and grey HOXs. The thought of matching the phone to a suit or having it as an actual matching clothing accessory is not a bad idea. White stands out and grey is incognito.

I just found out on att you can add a smartphone line then downgrade it to a dumb phone plan and only pay 10 bucks a month. Go to sams club and get a brand new onex for 150+240 for the two year and thats even a little cheaper. Im going to do that same thing but with a gs3. Been having a hard time figuring out what phone I wanted, might as well just get both for 350 plus 10 extra a month. Also to other post....Hey if you got the money why not spend it, dont hate.

Someone else can chime in here, but I would think switching that cover could void your warranty.

honestly as good of a case that it cn get, youll always have the speaker area showing since that part cant be covered, so youll always have some white detail showing.. ur best bet, a skin maybe? skinit is good at it
Get it skinned. Unless you find someone with the black/grey HOX who is willing to trade, you give yourself more of a headache trying to change the cover. Like stated before, you risk buying the international version, which has slightly different dimensions.
I'd recommend Ghost Armor as they have a variety of different finishes and textures with a lifetime warranty on it in case it starts to peel.
it'll cost you 50 bucks for the black unibody on ebay. You have to check carefully because like multiple people have stated already, you might end up getting the international version if you think they are all the same.
I scoured EBay. There are no XL housings.

That would do.. i was referring to filipinos who live here in the philippines who luckily have the S4.. also, the black MAO process of the One S came out here in the phils. already.. unfortunately, it has the S3 processor.. but i compared it side by side with mine, and you won't see any difference.. the only way i confirmed it is i downloaded it with quadrant and check for it's soc installed..

:: puts hand up! :: Bought mine thru Widget City for 21k, since they were the only "semi-reputable" seller of S4 version months ago. Battery life is modest at best, that's why I bought a car charger and a slow charger for use at work. Perfectly happy with it (Black MAO) but had 2nd thoughts that I should have gotten the Blue/Grey instead,as the black is slippery to the touch. Had to get a capdase casing from Greenhills to make it bearable to hold and not be afraid of the phone falling. The 64gb white S would have been nice, but am not a power user anyways.

May i ask, i wanted to know if your One S is affected with the chipping of the MAO process.. btw, i envy you.. because i bought mine in HTC Italy and it cost me 32000 pesos total.. i thought widget city is not legit so i don't trust them and i'm not sure if they do sell the s4 variant.. i wish the black one s do have the 64gb storage, because the white one isn't that appealing to me.. if i knew earlier that widget city is legit, i would've bought there and save 10 or 11k atleast..

Chipping-wise, only in the charger slot,as I tend to mishoot the cable, but surprisingly, no chipping elsewhere ( I was prepared for this before getting the black one) I did my homework to make sure I got an S4 version, tooke about 2 months of persistent buffering stores and even HTC sales agents until I found the S4. Widget City is legit, but has the most terrible customer service for an online store (Kimstore is the best) but had to bear it as only they have the best price and the only one to carry the S4 version.

Chipping-wise, only in the charger slot,as I tend to mishoot the cable, but surprisingly, no chipping elsewhere ( I was prepared for this before getting the black one) I did my homework to make sure I got an S4 version, tooke about 2 months of persistent buffering stores and even HTC sales agents until I found the S4. Widget City is legit, but has the most terrible customer service for an online store (Kimstore is the best) but had to bear it as only they have the best price and the only one to carry the S4 version.

Just like mine.. the only chip i had is inside the usb port as it is inevitable that the usb tip will not touch around the usb port.. elsewhere, i don't have any chipping issues. And like you, i researched through almost all possible sources to make sure i'll get the s4 and the batch of HOS not affected with the chipping issue. May i ask again, what is the first 6 digit of your serial number? Mine is SH24KW, as it is one of the basis if your One S is affected with the issue..
You use an otterbox? Does it really add bulkiness to the phone? My friend bought a commuter for his One X, and it's really bulky..
How does widget city be terrible in costumer service? Yup, i also inquired there and ask if it was really an s4 they are selling.. they even said the model name (z520e) when i ask them to check the box.. from there, i knew that i would be getting the s4 but i really couldn't imagine why they sell that for just 21k or less..
Well, enough for the regrets, i'm satisfied with the HOS.. but the release of the HOX+ makes me think to upgrade to it.. what are your insights? Hehe.

Got mine from a seller in tipidpc.. He was selling a unit from tmobile.. Lahat kasi ng units from tmobile, s4..problem is, I had to unlock it myself (may sticky dito yun) that was I think 6months ago, 20k..battery life is a little bit on the low side pero everything else, sulit.. Gusto ko sana ng black but natakot ako sa chipping, so got the grey one.. And no, I'm not tempted by the one x+, i hate huge phones

SH23KW. I use a Capdase casing and it barely adds volume (read my initial post). I took choose HOS primarily for 3 things: processing power, form factor and ease of use with one hand. Think of what is essential for you, and if majority of those leads to HOS+, then consider it.

Odd.. have you read the Micro Arc Oxidation Failure topic here at our One S Forum? Seems like you are one of the exemption that didn't have the chipping in spite of having a SH23 s/n.. in the topic, almost all SH23 owners suffer from chipping which is said to be the first batches of the HOS, while SH24 and SH25 are the "fixed" batches regarding the MAO chipping.. i guess you were very lucky with your One S.
Yes, that were also my considerations before i bought the HOS, ease of use, top of the line processor and it's build quality. I would've bought the One X+ if it was already available when i was only deciding what to choose.. i didn't choose the One X because of short battery life, overheating issues, the camera lens is very vulnerable to scratches and it's a huge phone compared to our One S, but with the promising and superb specs of the One X+, i think i can live with a bigger phone, now that all my concerns with the One X is now solved with the One X+, i really don't know if i would upgrade..

Hi!
I just bought my One S yesterday. It's black. Unfortunately, I found out about the S4 vs S3 debacle too late and found out just today, that I have the S3 version. I plan on going back to the HTC Concept Store at SM City Cebu to demand an exchange, as the dumb phones they had on display with spec sheets clearly say Snappdragon 4! I bought this phone for speed and to find out later that I got a "crippled" version with the S3 chip for an S4 price is downright fraud for me.
Well, wish me luck. :good:
BTW, did you guys get the 4.0.4 OTA update? I'm not seeing any. Stuck at 4.0.3. Maybe another issue with this "disappointing" S3 version.

I also saw here at SM Fairview last week, that they are selling the black version of the One S, but they didn't say that it has the s3 or the s4 chip. I inspected it, and comparing to mine, external features is really identical, but when i compare the speeds in opening some apps like the camera, gallery, messages, contacts, the app drawer, settings and other, it's really noticeable that my One s4 is faster compared with the s3 version, but i didn't stop there.. i logged on my gmail to the One S they are selling and downloaded quadrant to check it's system info, and from there, i saw that the product name is villec2, msm8260, 1784 MHz and adreno 220. It clearly states that the one they are selling is the s3 version.. i then run full benchmark on my HOS and the one they are selling, my HOS finished first, then i got a score of 5200+ while theirs only scored 4k+.. so it's really an s3. I hope you could get a replacement and get the s4 variant.. as the s3 is not that great as the s4.. about the 4.0.4 update, yes i already updated to that since the 2nd week of october.. i guess the update for the s3 rolled out last november's first week? I'm afraid if the One S got its JB update, the s4 variant would be the first to get it, and a month or two before for the s3 one.. but in the first place, i hope we'll have a JB update. Hehe
