Also found on eBay, slightly cheaper and stock ETA is 4th of May:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-HTC-D..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches?hash=item5d28bcbc33

is that a strap that goes over the desire and velcro onto the case?
also does the desire fit in all the way as in the pic it looks like it does not go in all the way

Even cheaper if you buy directly from their site. £10.00 including UK delivery. www.supergps.co.uk
I know, I just bought it on ebay for £11.99 and then remembered they'd got a website and foolishly looked to check on the price - wish I hand't bothered!

PLAY.com has it as well coming out 15th may
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...e-Google-Nexus-One-Pouch-PO-S520/Product.html

might just go for this http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-po-s491-desire-standard-leather-pouch-black-p24270.htm same as above without the velcro pull thingy which would just get on my nerves.
edit: Just did a search for the same item on the handtec site and it comes up as a hero/legend case. On that basis it looks like a mistake by mobilefun so I would avoid it.

It's not a velcro strap...it's a pull tab, which makes it easy to gain access to your phone...you pull on the tab and phone slides out.
Does anyone know if the inside of the case is lined with microfibers? Or if it's just leather lined? Know it's not released yet...but wondered whether anyone who has had experience of HTC pouches could shed any light on it...

If it's like the HD2 pouch then it'll be lined, hope so anyway

Just seen that this is now expected to be released mid-July!!!
Bit of a piss take if you ask me

If you search on google, lots of retailers advertising as releasing 7th or 10th May mostly. Except expansys and htcaccessortstore (which is expansys anyway) which are advertising July.
Hope it is available from 10th May. Looking forward to get one.
BTW has anyone tried ths pouch from amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-PREMIUM-Slip-Pouch-Desire/dp/B003K03B44/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1
Only £0.95 and for £0.96 you can get 5 x screen protectors. Is this true?

I bought the screen protectors off them and they are top notch. I'm tempted to try that cover incase it is equally as good. Wish I had spotted it and I could have saved 2 quid shipping.
JAmes.

[Q] Rear microphone hole?

Hey, getting a T-Mobile G2 soon and am looking on eBay for a case.
One thing I've noticed with the original HTC hard shell case and the Case-Mate Barely There case is that there's a little hole above the loudspeaker slit, while the cheapo $2 cases etc don't.
I can't seem to find a corresponding hole/port on the phone itself (just based on pictures off reviews, don't actually have the phone in my hand yet).
Normally I'd just get the official case but it's OOS everywhere I've looked. Probably going to go with the Case-Mate Barely There but I'd like to just save a few bucks with a cheap generic case, though if this will affect some noise-cancelling system or something I'll go for the casemate.
What is that hole/port?

Also have one more question: is the beveled edge existent on the generic ebay cases, and will that severely affect the usability of the keyboard? If it does affect the kb then the case-mate it is
Thanks

Let me rephrase the question then- does anyone's G2/DZ actually have a hole/port in that area?
Sent from my GT-I9100

Desire Z here and same as the pic you showed - no hole there.
EDIT: Never been a fan of the hard shell cases but i tried one of the cheap ones on ebay as well. Does not effect typing at all but when ur lying down with the phone above you, the added weight can cause the top half to fold down...

The hole is there for the internal wifi/data antenna if you will...If you have the phone connected to wifi and place your finger on your phone where the hole would be on the case connectivity goes down. I have a TMO hard shell case and it has a hole as well.

Thanks for the reply.
iirc the hinge falling was an issue with earlier devices- does the phone do that without the case on? I can't imagine a top half weighing just several grams doing that... but maybe that's because of the hinge's design?

Intriguing. The antenna being so concentrated on such a small area seems quite odd, but that's one of the only plausible explanations.
Either way I sprung for the Case-Mate Barely There That has the hole so no worries.

Beware! Cellapod Sensation Replacement Battery Cover

Just wanted to let those who were interested in the replacement battery back that is silver and black from the seller "Cellapod" on ebay that NO, it does not fit the US Tmobile Sensation. I took some pictures comparing the two backs, and they look like this. I would link but I cant with my post count just yet.

}
Replacement:
As you can see, in the replacement the bottom left corner is missing, as if it were cut away completely. I tried it on the phone regardless, and almost got the case stuck on when I attempted to force it. I checked in the bag to see if it just broke off, and i checked the case to look for any mechanical stress signs of breakage, but no, it looks like its part of the design. So unfortunate, the silver and black back is just plain sexy. If anybody gets one that works, please tell me!
Makes me wonder though which model of Sensation it was made for, does the unbranded one have a different body?

\Your pictures do no display but I was contemplating buying one of these but I came to the conclusion they are not legit. The one I saw had the 'pin hole' next to the speaker missing, so I decided againsed it.
edit, this is the one I was refering to
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...&searchstring=sensation+back+&urlrefer=search

I'm surprised you ordered from a seller with 117 negatives in the last 12 months, 17 in the last month, although they seem to sell a lot of stuff and be a power seller...
Did you order the one in the attachement? It says it's an original HTC accessory, however I've not seen a silver and black back yet.
Will look forward to seeing the broken corner in your pics.

EDIT: Yes that is the item Im talking about, in the link and the attachment.
Thats exactly what had me pull the trigger, they were a huge seller, so I figured that that 17 negative vs 3266 positive seemed like a mere fraction...Too bad it didnt turn out that way =/
Im not sure if its just because its my Picasa account (though I tried it when I was logged out of it too) but in Chrome I can right click the broken picture links and choose "open image in new tab" and see them. Have you tried that yet? I cant post up links yet since I dont have enough posts.

Sorry I'm unable to see anything in your post that can be right clicked to view. I'm sure others would be interested to see the fault so keep posting!
I don't blame you for ordering from them either but eBay can be a right pain in the a*se at times. Are you returning it?

Hmm interesting. I can see that the bottom of the new one has broken off on (both?) sides. Contact the seller and ask for another one.

So I recieved my battery door I ordered from Cellapod today......
They sent me a factory back door instead of the Silver/Black one
I ordered Needless to say im fuming pissed right now .
Now comes the waiting game

Sprint/iBolt dock works!

I love my AT&T One X, and it's pretty big without a good spot to go in my 330i where it can charge and not be in the way of shifting. I also really want a car dock to make use of the car mode/google nav. AT&T isn't getting $60 for their version from me either
on Android Central someone mentioned the Evo 4G LTE dock at Sprint stores works for their HOX, so I checked it out. It's built by iBolt, and looks very similar to the one being posted in this forum.
You get the dock, windshield mount, dash sticker, no cable or charger.

Car mode fires right up, and it shuts off when you take it out. Fits great!
Top clip fits like it was made for it, the Evo must have the same profile on the side.
This piece slides out so you can use a phone with a case in it.
With the PT case/holster from Worst Buy, it sits a little high on the micro usb plug, and tilts down towards the right, so you should be able to use an even larger case in it like the otterbox or ballistic.
https://pael7a.sn2.livefilestore.co...0oQIUjhZ5zo9eqKjUeamlXHF/WP_000117.jpg?psid=1
Similar fit on the top again, definitely usable!
Impressions:
I have a Case-mate barely there shipping from Amazon that should arrive on monday, i'll try to grab a few photos when it shows up. The only real issues are the small Sprint logo on the front, and the fact it may not sit flat with some cases. If I was planning on using the same case all the time, I might put a piece of rubber in there to flatten it out and relieve some stress on the plug. It's a little chunkier than I'd like, but it'll do.

Thank you just bought it today from sprint shop.

Can anybody confirm if the garmin mount ball thing is the same size as the ball on this ibolt dock?
Sent from my HTC One X

I'll give it a try tomorrow, i've got an older Garmin GPS (Nuvi 200 or 205).
Also, this seems to be corporate only stores at this point. The first store I called was actually a reseller, didn't carry it, and told me to check out a corporate store.

What is that you're using that allows you to put it in your cup holder? I would love that as I hate having stuff on my dashboard and windshield.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry for the photos, I took them with an HTC Titan and the easiest was sky drive... I'll see if I can make it work, or just rehost.

Battery Cover from ebay - "new oem"

Hello,
is anybody out there using battery cover from ebay ?
One year ago (after month of using) i damaged mine battery cover (broke one pin off). Instantly ordered one like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-Bac...esire-S-S510e-G12-/270796309416#ht_3686wt_906
But when arrived i noticed minor differences
- the antenna is not glued, but clicked in
- no yellow text like on original
- the color is very slightly (very difficult to see) different
This is different seller, but that time ago, there was photo of original cover, but arrived one like this.
I put it in shelf and never used more.
Is it safe to use ?
I have measured antenna with ohmeter (same resistance as original), no signal dropouts, fits perfectly, no squeaking sounds.. However, im affraid, that it can damage my phone.
Does anybody use it, is it safe ?

Just got this one, fits and works great. As described, my item looks genuine upon inspection.
The worse thing that could happens according to me is that you would have a poorer reception in case the antenna is bad which would ceprobably drain your battery faster. Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
