Cases

I've just ordered this phone a few days ago and waiting for delivery from the UK.
Just wondering what cases others have used for this phone? Or recommendations even?
I've got an i-mate SP5 (HTC Tornado) at the moment, which came with a leather pouch/holder (that hangs on the belt etc). I doubt the SP5 case will fit the S740, which I know is much longer in size.
It doesn't have to be one made specifically for this phone, it just needs to fit it.

I have one of the PDair aluminum cases for my S740. This followed me dropping the phone onto the sidewalk and cracking the nice front screen which in turn made me realize that the design of the phone offers no protection against this sort of accident.
So when I am out an about at the weekend, this wraps the phone in a very nice metal case that clips to the belt but gives you full access to all controls and buttons (except the QWERTY) without having to take the phone out of the case. You can then flip open the case (it has a hinge) to use the QWERTY if you need to.
So if what you need is proper protection against knocks, this is the case for you

That's probably good advice. I do have a tendency to drop my phones.
My Tornado's somehow managed to survive everything thus far with plenty of scratches to show for it.
I've already ordered the Krusell case, so i'll see how that one goes first. Otherwise i'll probably end up getting the aluminum one too.

Hi. I can recommend you the Krusell pouzdro Orbit flex or the Krusell Horizon.

Krusell Orbit Flex for HTC S740
Hi
I have got case "Krusell Orbit Flex for HTC S740" for few days. It is not bad case. It is good, but it has few problems.

1.
There is no openning for USB port

2.
Front of case is a little bit smaller, so phone is not covered/secured at front upper corner.

Hole for camera a little bit out of line , so you can see it in photos taken by phone.

But I still think that this case is very good. These are only minor problems.

no it does not come with a case.
Some of the pre release Press Review Models had a mesh slip case thing in the box but the retail boxed device does not come with any for of case or cover.

oh ic..
what a pity,so we have to buy a proper case for this thing.
hmm, i think its a little hard to find.
i wonder to buy the simple case for this rose, just like the one from default in E90 nokia does, i think its cool case

I got my S740 on an Orange contract. It came with a mesh style slip pouch. I've attached a photo of it.

I don't like krussel cases, particularly the plastic sheet that separates layers in sliders. I am convinced it makes the phone loose.
I can wholeheartedly recommend pdair as the best value quality case.
A step up is proporta, normally £10 more or so.
Top notch cases are from noreve - but you need to be keeping the phone for a long time to justify the noreve cost, although it is a thing of beauty
http://www.noreve.com/brand/HTC/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_S740_-_HTC_Rose_Tradition.html

Not sure if this is too late but I bought my Rose about 4 months ago and it came with the mesh slip case. Has kept it scratch free so far and I've dropped it a couple of times ad it has been fine. Good case.

My Japanese S22HT shipped with that mesh case, my S743 had nothing hahaha

I'm using the el-cheapo case that had come with my Cingular 2125 (HTC Faraday) for my S743. It's not the greatest protection, and it's a somewhat tight fit, but it's working out OK.
I was at Best Buy and there is an Eddie Bauer horizontal belt pouch that works well, but I didn't care for the suede interior, as it could retain grit, etc. that could scratch the keyboard. Hey, maybe Clarivue could come up with little squares to cover each individual key on the num pad?

I actually ended up dumping my krussel case as the plastic sheet got snagged in the slider and gradually the plastic just broke.
Now on the hunt for a new case (again).

I just ordered one of the Noreve cases for this thing. I have a tendency to destroy my phones so I needed something and wanted something nice. I'll let you know what I think of it in about two weeks when I am back from Vegas.

GREAT case. I am glad I spent the extra money.
The phone doesn't sit perfectly flat in the case due to the backing plate on the phone. I don't think this is a flaw on the part of the case, just the way it ends up being. I don't even really notice it anymore. I held the case and tried my best to shake the phone loose... no go. That think is IN there.
The keyboard slides in and out with ease and the little tabs that hold the phone down have yet to create any wear marks on the phone from sliding the keyboard open.
The belt clip is great and as best as I can figure, WILL NOT come off your belt accidentally. It can take a bit of getting used to clipping the phone onto the belt clip but eventually it becomes second-nature. When you spin the phone on the clip, it makes a "tick tick" kind of sound as it changes position. This is good for 2 reasons: You can verify, by feel, that the phone is clipped in properly, and you can have the phone hold position at various different angles.
My one beef is that the thread started to come out. This isn't really a huge deal since the side that the thread ends on is double-stitched for most of the length. I just trimmed it and put some clear nail polish on the thread to glue it in place. No problems on that front since.
I love the fact that there is no plastic over the keyboard. I HATE that cheap plastic crap they use on cases. It is such garbage! lol
One other note: The magnet is nice and strong. It is also in position that makes it almost impossible to open up when the phone is clipped in. It is, however, not so strong that it prevents you from flipping it open with one finger. Seems to be perfect strength.
overall i'd give it a solid 8 out of 10: I dock points for: Slightly uneven seating in the case, and thread coming out a bit. other than that, it is exactly what I expected.
WARNING: keep keyguard on at all times. Pressing your arm against the phone when it is on your belt can cause the "call" key to be depressed.

BeRad, it looks like a really nice case! But wow that price is really high (in Australian dollars it's $70.46).
But I guess the old saying goes, you get what you pay for!

hi friends, looking for a clear hard case for my rose or silicone case, both with two separate parts, one for back and one for front, can not find any on ebay, just found this mobilephonecrazy.com/modeldetail/S740,black_silicon_case.htm or mobilephonecrazy.com/modeldetail/S740,Clear_crystal_cover.htm
somebody ordered it ready? there is no real photo, do not like aluminium or leather cases

Also, can PDair be trusted? This case looks nice.

I love my PDAir Case

Thanks for the answers. I think I'll try to buy PDAair. The problem is I'm from Russia, so I don't know how would they deliver it to me.

Hello
I ordered this book case from PDair in hong kong. The delivery time to Germany was 14 days (to air mail). Without Problems, no custom duties.
I can recommend this case, it is accurately fitted and made in good quality.
PDair can be trusted.

Hi, have anyone this soft silicone case? Is it quality?

sweet case my friend, no need to worry. I mean free shipping, plus a quality leather keyring was what i got out of the whole deal, um... cant complain hey...

had the book case from PDair for like more than a month now. only complain is that it will begin to lose. it was very tightly fitted when new but now my phone can drop out of the case just by shaking it twice. lol. oh, mine also looking old pretty fast. just more than a month and it's looking rugged. LOL. maybe due to my roughness though.

Great!!!
PDair is a prefect shop which they provide service good and with positive reputation in the would, More than your money's worth
I will recommend it to my friends also.

"Qazer Hi, have anyone this soft silicone case? Is it quality? "
I have bought and used by approximately 15 days is perfect and the material seems excellent.
Translated with Google Translator

Have been using the silicone case for about a month now.
Pros:
-good protection in case you drop the phone,
-the phone is not slippery any more so the chances of droping it are minimized
-better protection in case someone spills a glass of water on the table you have your phone on (personal experience )
-it is virtually impossible to scratch your phone
-the extra size added to the phone is minimall
cons:
-at first the phone is a bit uglier (after a while u get used to it)
-can`t put it in a pocket with the same ease due to the fact that it is not as slippery as before.
-each time you want to remove the back cover (micro sd or sim swapping)
you have to take off the case.
personally i recommend it..

how can i buy a silicon case? only is the corean shipping from ebay the one source?_a

I bought mine from ebay.
As far as i can remember that guy would ship the case worldwide,
so i think there shouldn`t be a problem shipping to Hungary.
Don`t worry about customs because something of such low value
wouldn`t have custom`s charge (at least here in Greece)

silicone case
hi all, i am using the silicone case now...before i was using the pdair pouch...
the pouch offers a better protection to the screen, bt the silicone case is definitely lighter and less bulky.

I am also switching from pdair--it is a very nice, high quality case but as mentioned has a tendency to swivel (especially when getting out of the car) and letting the phone slip out of the case and drop ( happened twice to me with some minor damag3e )-------so also moving to silicone

I also have the silicon case. Shipping was 3 days from Hongkong
to Germany. Bought it @ Ebay.
I also recommend it.

Good quality and protection

wanted : case / pouch for desire + flexiskin

as per subject can any one suggest a decent case / pouch for a desire + a flexiskin ?
Thank

Have a look here:

Thanks. I have read through that thread and the MOFI Pouch seems to be a good options, but I can't find anywhere selling it !!
Any ideas ?

I'm using a nexus rubber skin, the phone still fits in the large krussel Luna case. its quite tight though, it only sticks out the top a few mm.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Thanks.. not to keen on the krussel Luna case
Wondering if I could use the G1 case + flexiskin ???

I just picked up for £6.00 a very smart soft leather pouch with even softer leather insides in a vodafone shop, it is vodfone branded unfortunately however the stitching is excellent and it is soft leather and fits the desire perfectly. I think it is for the iphone but it is better and much smarter looking than those socks that everyone seems to be getting atm and for 6 quid for a leather case its cheaper than ebay.
The product is a Vodafone Premium Universal Case (Sutible for larger mobile phones one as it comes in different sizes)

Any chance of any images ? With the phone in it etc ??
Thanks

Here it is, shop I was in only had it in brown but they do it in black as well, at that price i didnt care however now i have it, it kinda suits the phone in brown.
Phone is in case in both photos

They only send it to UK.
My only option was krusell luna with fits my naked desire nicely, and it looks beter than its picture.

Thanks..
I'll call into voda later today and take a look

case for Desire.
Try PDair's site. I have several aluminum cases for Ipod touches and my N97 that have hard plastic screen protector as option instead of open face type. So far they only have open face type last time I checked.Have never crakced a screen yet and my phone goes to work with me in construction every day.

Bought the Vodafone case today and whilst its well made its just to tight a fit and is a struggle getting the phone out when it rings

Bought one of these from Tesco today.. only cost a £1.00.

I wonder if there wil be replacement backs (for the supposedly poor plastic).
Hanging out for a good rubber case or something for it though.

Here's hoping, I think there's an opportunity here for someone.

I need water proof case ....for i9000

Don't get the pull up case. I got one myself a few days ago and it does not fit well. The insides feel rough and it felt like it could scratch the phone at any time.
http://imgur.com/8JV3U.jpg
The top bit wouldn't fit in.

What I'm waiting for is the OtterBox
I've had an OtterBox Defender for my iPhone for over a year, and after the number of times I've dropped my phone only to have it saved, it's the only case I'll use.
Unfortunately, Otter hasn't created one yet. I sent in a request, and they're looking at building one, but don't have one yet.

silicon and leather case.. etc..
..found this link from a forum.. korean website..
..you can try searching the gmarket website.. korean version.
..they have like Zenus Softcase for the GS and alot more.

The Zenus cases look really nice, but it's a bit expensive, and Gmarket always costs a lot to ship internationally.

The orange and black case looks amazing!!

Maybe not realy case related, but also protection..
I've mailed gelaskins and uniqueskins to inquire if they will be producing a skin for the Galaxy S soon.. Gelaskin is putting it up for consideration, uniqueskins however does not respond to any mail i send them, very rude! (despite the've read them, according to the read reports).
I would like to use a skin to protect the plastic cover. However the cover was not as flumsy as most reviews lead me to believe..

case looks awesome how do I order one?? I've been trying to battle through the zenus website (using chrome korean translation as the english version doesn't work) but not getting anywhere...

I absolutely detest cases of any kind as they add extra bulk to an already fairly large device. What I prefer are skins like the ones from gelaskins.com.

some people like case some dont, as for me i want to put some weight on the S its too light, also i dont wanna scratch the back of the phone,
i want that ZEnus case, but like the above guy no idea how to buy from the site, nothing on ebay too...

I am able to purchase from Gmarket as I have used Gmarket before.
Would anyone be interested in me bulk buying some and me sending them to you? The reason is that Gmarket uses a very expensive delivery services, and anything up to 0.5kg is roughly 12 dollars. These cases weigh 0.1kg each so I am able to buy up to 5 of them and still pay 12 dollars delivery.
Edit: Nevermind, I just checked the actual item weights. It's the silicone case that weighs 0.1kg each.
Silicone case: £9.76 (weighs 0.1kg)
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=189041207
Leather case: £19.50 for white or black case, £20.64 for the double coloured cases. (weighs 0.5kg)
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challe...1&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_order=zenus+galaxy
Though the delivery is still cheaper if I bulk buy, if anyone would be still interested then tell me.

seidio
Anyone contacted seidio if they will be making like custom casing, battery, etc for the internation version of GS?
..just curious.. hehehe

is that a kickstand i see on the white case? Looks very nice if it is.....

Not sure, it may just be part of the design, but it would certainly be very nice if it was a kickstand.

you can see it better upclose here....looks rubberish to me and unlikely to be a kick stand 2nd image from the bottom...

failing that i may try to find some plastic material to attach to the back of a case but unsure what to search for? swivel plastic piece? lol.

[Q] Looking for good brand name for Case

i wanna to buy a bit expensive case with top quality of case...

Perhaps you should say what sort of case your after? There are expensive cases of all types, e.g. silicone, hard case, leather cases.
