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] 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

Samsung leather wallet case - where to buy?

I found a leather wallet case from Samsung, and I really like the design of the natural colored one, but it has been out of stock for quite a while...
does anyone know where I can buy this case?
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-0I500NLGHPW

I have done a lot of searching and have yet to come up with anything for that specific case.
Amazon does have the black one but not the natural case.
You might try emailing Samsung and asking them if there know of a 3rd party vendor that has stock.
Or hopefully someone here will have some insider information for you!

I like the black one also, but natural seems to be more appealing...
I sent a back-order request to Samsung 2 months ago, but haven't got anything back from them...

2 months? What are they handmade?!
What you might try is looking around here -> http://www.wirelessemporium.com/
They have TONS of leather cases and wallets. The Fascinates are mostly black but you might be able to look up the EVO or droid X and Im sure their cases would fit our phones quite well. Personally I like the Carbon Fiber one.

It would be faster if it is handmade...I think samsung doesn't make them anymore
I see couple nicely designed cases on that site, but I'm looking for one that locks the phone inside and just have the cover folds back to gain access to the phone without taking it out; like the samsung leathet case.

Seidio Active & Barely There cases...

I have one of each of these cases in white and a few others I'm looking to sell since I am a major case-whore and bought too many and need to get rid of some that I don't use. All of them are in *NEW* condition and have never been used - only 'tried on for size'. All are in their original packaging.
BOTH ARE SOLD! - I STILL HAVE A SMOKE ROCKETFISH TPU CASE WHICH FITS THE AT&T HTC ONE X PERFECTLY!

I'm the same way. I have a bunch of cases that were only on my phone for a minute. I have at least 10 different cases and the only case I actually use is my Diztronic TPU case. I do the same thing with every phone I get.

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.

I am SO glad I am not the only one. I do the same thing with EVERY phone I buy too. I have 12 cases right now for the One X. Well, once I send the Seidio out I'll be down to 11 but still... I don't know WHY I buy so many. LOL

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?

Case with a kick stand?

After using a case mate naked tough case on my nexus 6 I was looking at getting a case with a kick stand for media consumption and so far not seen any for the 6p. If anyone has seen one can you let me know. Iv ordered a cheap one for the time being to offer some protection but it is only meant as a temporary until I can find one I actually want and fits the bill for my needs

Do a deeper search than I did and I bet you'll find more. Most of these seem to be the extremely bulky case types, which don't interest me personally. One case I had for the Nexus 6 which had a kickstand but was also slim was the Seidio Surface case. http://www.seidioonline.com/motorola-nexus-6-surface-kickstand-case-garnet-red-p/csr3mtn6k-gr.htm You might want to contact them and see if they plan on making a N6P case. I'll vouch for Seidio - they make pretty good products. I've even deployed them with iPhones at work.

Thanks, none of those are on Amazon UK as far as I know but il keep looking

I saw something recently about how a lot of the early cases are blocking important parts of the sensor/antenna bar (the black bar on the back of the phone). Does anyone know how much of the bar needs to be exposed to not impede functionality?
And to the OP, I've had a kickstand case with my last two phones, and last two tablets, and I just can't go back to a device without it now. So thanks for starting this thread.

I have found that many of these are preproduction images, so I wouldn't rely on the current pictures to show me anything more than a rough idea of what the final product will generally look like. Several product images have already changed on Amazon's site.
Wait until the middle / end of October for all the companies to get the products finalized. This forum already has several threads with replies from manufacturers saying designs aren't final. They are just trying to ensure they get their piece of the pie on early and preorder case dollars when they list products this early on Amazon.

Gotcha, thanks for the info.

Real interested in the i-Blason case since I'm looking for a hybrid case with a kickstand that gives me peace of mind without Nexus protect.
However I emailed them aobut the laser AF problem and got this:
Dear Customer
I cannot guarantee that will not block it. I have not information concerning this problem.
Thank you
CSR Team
Might try again in a few days...

Once Seidio releases their cases the Surface should have a kickstand. Using that case now on my S4 and love it.

Plastic stand and i hate the silicon wrapped in Plastic.
I've seen nicer ones that are more costly by reputable companies but none for 6p
Bought a tpu for now from tudia.... Nice and slim but would like to have a spare with kickstand so I'll wait a bit more to see if anything comes up

A case with a stand will be ultimately what I get.
As I am getting a silver phone rather than a black one, I would really love a crystal clear case with stand! Although I'm sure this will never happen.

If you guys are wondering the quality of the caseformers, I have one for my Note 5 and did a quick review on YouTube. See for yourself.

Doesn't it make it wobble when flat? Looked cool initially but I think it's a bit weird to carry 24/7 on such a nice phone. And I doubt it last forever if constantly removing it.
Thanks anyway though

I haven't received it yet, but I know that I will be using it as a kickstand, so what's the relevance of "lying flat"? It looks like if you stick it above center, but still out of the way of the Imprint sensor, it should sit on a table/desk at a very convenient angle in either orientation...

I just sometimes lay it flat and don't always use a kickstand. I enjoy it when I need it but not all the time.
I'd prefer a thin case that has a kickstand if and when needed.... But each use phone differently
