i need a screen protector for my phone. however the makes i thought that were the best dont seem to be.
Alot of people including myself havnt been very happy with martin fields SP's lately, and ive heard mixed reviews about the zagg ones.
so what would you lot reccomend for the desire on a budget of around £10 ??
Thanks
I've had no issues at all with my MF protector, got it as soon as they came out (literally first batch) and haven't looked back
i'm interested to know what the official HTC P360's are like, and the ones that come with the case mate cases.
If the HTC ones are anything like the HD2 ones they'll be terrible
The problem with the official HTC ones for me was that they are exactly the same size as the screen, and I found it impossible to get it applied so that none of the edges were hanging over. This meant that air bubbles always leaked in and I just couldn't get a good fit. I bought some cheap ones of eBay which I got a much better application with.
I got mine from SuperEtrader-UK on amazon. only a couple of quid for six and they are excellent. plus they were delivered in 2 days. was so impressed that i also bought a (again cheap) case from them.
I've had the HTC one on my phone since May:
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...-Screen-Protector-SP-P360/ProductReviews.html
It went on perfectly and I haven't had to use the second one yet.
I have an invisibleshield from www.zagg.com, delivered in about 3 days.
i have used these on about 5 different devices
I put the zagg one on before using the phone. It went on well (front, back and button area) - but the screen one seems to have some nasty marks on it after a few days.
Thankfully zagg do free replacements under their lifetime warranty, so I'm getting a replacement sent out. It still costs $4 dollars postage though, and I have to pay to return the damaged one to somewhere in America! I guess I'd probably be cheaper buying a new one!

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

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 just bought one of these and they are shipped from Hong Kong and take around 7-10 days to arrive. But they're great and under three dollars.
I've added two pictures below and I have had this case fro two days now and it is flexible (tpu) and has no wear or anything on it, but I imagine if dropped it would look a lot worse. But hey the case is cheap and looks amazing on the Sensation, it's very slimming.
Just search Ebay for White TPU Sensation cases, and one from sunlioner should come up, I'll post a link within the next day but it seems he sold out. So give it a day or so. The cases look amazing.
Do they have extended battery case? I'm in desperate need!
sent from HTC sensation, soff, 3.33 firmware, viper Rom, sense 4.1, mugen battery. please press thanks if I helped in anyway.
I bought a case from this seller for my girlfriend's galaxy s II and i must say that quallity is very good and it fits perfecly.

These look really good, especially for the price. When I first got my Sensation a year ago I bought an Incipio NGP case. It protects very well but I notice the bit of extra bulk it adds.
I may have to get one of these TPU cases just for giggles... thanks for the tip!

Anybody know why the attached pictures won't show up in my original post sometimes?
That bugs me.
Hmm. I think i'm going to buy one myself. But in black

Didn't realize there were black ones, I may have to pick up one of those as well.
Below is the case I get, very cheap too and fits well. But I like the one in the original post too, worth a buy for that price why not.

I bought that black one off of Amazon for four dollars or so but I did not like the silicone shiny black looking stripe on it, that was the only thing that bothered me.

I've had the white and the black one now and the white one looks great but if you get any color or wear on it it will not go away, and the black one actually goes with the phone a lot better so, I'm going to go with the black case even if I have both. Also there is an ugly tint in the white case be cause the Sensations backplate has rubbed off onto the case leaving this ugly black tint/residue. It doesn't come off, I still like the case/s though, they're very sleek, nice, and not to mention cheap .
this is great cheap case, i should buy it right away

That's what I thought, still waiting for my black one right now. Hopefully it'll be here Monday.
OEM Case
I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but if anyone is interested, the black HTC OEM TPU case is available for $3.79 in the US today. Use coupon code "EarlyThanksgiving" for 15% off: $0.99 - $0.15 discount + $2.95 shipping = $3.79. The red one is also <$4 on eBay.
Wireless charging?
Does anybody ever seen back cover for wireless charging?
battery case
anyone know if we can change just the battery case?
Hmm...

Is very good quality and quite cheap, The shipping take about 1 month, but finally yesterday it arrive. i ordered it on the 16 of november.
Very good ebayer.
I bought this one:

Didn't receive it yet, but looks great.
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

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)
