Read all about the otter case in a review for the straight desire - the defender model it was.
I wasnt overly impressed.
So in light of this can yuo accessory experts point me what YOU think is the best usable (I.E. doesnt look like a tank or bomb shelter) case. I am thinking somethin silicon?
anyway, would really love ya expert opinions! I need to protect my phone - more frlom falls than anything else, am a fairly cluimsy 6'4'' so it has a long way to drop!
respect!

I made it yesterday to try and help people to decide what to get as a case for their HTC desire HD. I tried the HTC S550 pouch and 2 silicon cases. Didn't really know what I was going to say so I just started talking and showed my DHD a little with its accessories (still in love with it) but at the end I dropped my Desire HD on the floor luckily my appartment is all carpet

I bought the exact same gel case as you showed in the video (grey). I bought it from an ebaystore called Londonmagicstore. I paid 3gbp including shipping to sweden. Fast and reliable. As I don't have the DHD yet (is to be released next week in sweden) I hope it fits.

Helpfull video mate. I just ordered two silicon/gel cases from Ebay myself and they bought are coming with protective film for the screen. I am really looking forward to getting them as I am paranoid about damaging my new DHD.
Thx for the video - off to watch it now!
The best protective case by far, and the case I use on my HTC HD, Samsung Galaxy s and HTC desire, is the Pdair aluminium metal case.
http://www.pdair.com/
Unfortunately, for some strange reason, they don´t plan to make this case for HTC Dsire HD
If you are interested, drop the a mail and request that they make a aluminium case for the HTC Desire HD as well. [email protected]
Just thought I'd vouch for the eBay cases! Remember, they all come from the same factories in China, you're only paying extra for the branding 'SuperShield' 'MegaCase' etc. There are some exceptions but very few. I bought my case for £2.35 with a screen protector and it's perfect, a great fit and nice feel! I've never spent more than a couple of pounds on silicone/plastic cases or screen protectors and all of my phones remained in perfect condition months after I bought them. Will post links soon.
Regards.
Cannot see anyone being unhappy with this case..... £2.65 an absolute bargain.
eBay
Regards.
just bagged one of those from ebay - so thanks and yeah will feedback what I think of the case and protector!

£2.65? The price following that link is £29.65?
Edit: Strange, but found the cheap ones must of been a mistake!
just paid under 3 quid for it.

Now that is strange! When I click the link it says the seller has updated his listing and the price shows £29.65!!! I've emailed the seller to ask what is going on as it definitely was £2.65 this morning. Maybe the increased traffic spooked him .
Anyway just to reinforce my point regarding the branding of goods from the same Chinese source, here is CaseHut's listing for the ORB Gel Case..... look familiar?? £5.99 plus postage..... hmmmm!!
Anyway, the case fits well and gives good protection. All buttons are placed correctly and the camera lens, flash and charger port all have good access. Hope this shows that you can keep your expensive phone SAFE without breaking the bank.
Regards.
I received my silicone case I paid 2.95 for on eBay today and the quality is great the fit is perfect and it doesn't make the phone too bulky. Another thing is the case makes pressing the power and volume buttons a lot easier
So overall I am delighted with the case.

metal case here for 15 smackeroons...sems ok. anyone bought this one? Any good?
I guess the seller hopes that someone actually buys it without noticing the high price. He must know that others recommend this product, and well, sneakily tries to make huge profit....

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

Hi guys, sorry for another thread about a white galaxy s cover! So, the situation is that on Ebay I can find a fake white cover for the Galaxy S for around £3-4 (very cheap). Also, I have found a genuine white cover for £8ish from a top seller in Uk so i presume it is genuine. So I wondered which one to go for? I mean, I don't want a cheap one to not fit and be good quality because that would be a waste of money and I would end up purchasing a genuine one! Anybody had a fake cover??? How well do they fit??
Thanks
I bought one. Mine is definitely fake, as 99% of them are if you're getting it off Ebay. It doesn't have the Google sign on the back.
It fits very well, almost perfect. It's slightly larger than the OEM battery cover, maybe a mm or two outward-back. The plastic feels fine. I'd buy it again. For that price, what do you have to lose?
edit: I bought a white battery cover, and a red plastic case: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqMOKiUE3GS6E42QBN081,hMLg~~0_12.JPG
Looks quite good, the white and red combination.
edit2: Just buy it from the HK seller. Local sellers just buy it from HK by the bulk, and then resell it. You'll likely get the same thing from either.
Great! Ill bear that in mind thanks i think i will order one today!

Seller name is headlaneltd
Genuine will all be £8+ for brand new , otherwise all 14 day/used stock or copies which the market seems to be flooded with , unfortunately
I really don't see the problem in fake ones, quality is really good, and the price from the original is quite different. I vote fake
Those white fake covers may look good , but they don't have a sharp click when it's snapped on like the original cover .
So my guess is upon repeated usage of taking and putting back the cover , it might get so loose , that it won't fit anymore
This year, the M8 had alot of great cases. I myself went through six of them, not because they broke but because I liked a new look every now and then. What cases are you hoping to see this year for the M9? I'm looking forward to anything Spigen or Incipio.
Only case I used on my m8 was the Dot-Matrix case....but I ended up ditching it anyway. I like to have a gorgeous phone in my hand...not hidden by a case. The m9 will be the same.
Spigen!
Already on ebay...
M9 cases are, incredibly, already available on ebay.
I expect the flip case, the dotview case and the two-toned cases HTC has for the M8/M7 specifically for the M9. (The device is rumored to be roughly formfit compatible but there are some significant changes, such as the lack of a duo camera and the power button moved to the side from the top).

it's the same exact case, with a square cutout for the camera.....and a few new colors
the only changes with the app are updates we already get for Dot View
I would enjoy seeing a better looking dotview case. The Dotview case on the M8 was good but it kind of dulled the looked of the phone, I would hope they could make one that actually complimented the M9. Maybe a transparent one!

Spigen babyyy ,,
http://www.spigen.com/brands/htc/htc-one-m9-ultra-hybrid.html
Ready for pre-order
There are already available cases for M9 Spigen again will lead the race
Hoping for UAG!
I'm looking forward to Dot view cases. Love the usability and notification alerts on the HTC M8!
Decisions decisions!
I had the dot view case for the M8 but it broke within a few months, and a few people had similar comments from what I saw on reviews and forums - rubbish considering its manufactured by HTC themselves. So this year I am going to avoid it like the plague despite the dot view functionality.
Which leaves me back at square one, what to get when I have the new M9?
don't want a boring gel case, I want something a bit different that shows the phone off nicely. Any one seen any videos of anything interesting?
Looking forward to the dot view case as well. Pretty hefty update to my s4 with the s view case.
It looks like very few of the current available m9 cases are going to work with IR. On the M8 the IR was in the power button. We are trying to figure out where the IR is on the M9 exactly so we can make a hole for it. Might have to push our cases back a bit until we can confirm the location of it.
highly recommend iVoler
non wallet card case
I'm hoping to find a non wallet card case such as the coverbot prime joshua54 found for me last year. I posted a review on the m8 forum and is still on my m8 today. I'm getting m9 on launch day and will be gutted to live without a non flip card case until someone builds one. If anyone can find me a case I will buy them a pint
Verus case for M9 is a good choice.
Spigen and Incipio! Hands down!

Orzly have around 8 different types of cases for the m9 and I strongly suggest you look at the youtube videos and also the website the range is brilliant
Post links to anything you find. I want something even if it cheap just for protection, until some nicer ones come out, hopefully. I haven't found any yet. I'd prefer something thin because of the size of this thing.
I found a couple of different cases on Amazon.com after searching for "BLU Pure XL -Life" without the parentheses.
I would pick the black ones but they both come in a selection of colours.

The "-life" search parameter tells it to exclude postings with "life" in the title. Very good way to search for this device on Amazon, Google and other search engines.
at aliexpress.com if you're looking for "Gionee Elife E8" find some cases that should fit
I actually purchased this case in black. It just protects the back not the screen at all. In my opinion just finding a really good screen protector for the phone should be good. You can always replace the back. My experience working in the cellphone department at best buy has proven (to me atleast) that the cases that just cover the back and corners of the phone end up doing some damage to the phone themselves (as far as scratches on the corners and some wear) but I guess its better than the actualy drop would be

That's probably something that you'd need to contact BLU for.
eBay is another good site for cases and stuff, but search Gionee, BLU comes up with very little. Also, be careful of AliExpress. They're dishonest as hell.
