I was searching for an alternative to the HTC Dot View case and not a cheap clone, so I have found this interesting cover in Amazon:

If you do, please post a video of it in action!
I wonder if it feels weird to have these big pixels without dots.
As for the flip not closing by itself, I remember well the original HTC Dot View took 2-3 weeks to close by itself and I was holding it closed all the time outside home so it takes the habit to do it. I guess this Rock one will need the same

I placed an order, hopefully it gets here quickly! i really like the way it is looking so i hope it lives up to its photos
edit: it says it should be here tomorrow [5/21] by the evening, so if someone else does not before then, i will be happy to take some photos and possibly make a little video showing the flap closing and of course the dot view mode in action :silly:

Just got it! My initial thoughts about the case itself; I love it, the build quality is up to par it does not feel cheap and flimsy and it does (as you can see) cause the phone to go into the DotView mode which I think looks REALLY cool on a flat matte screen! The only issue I am having at the moment is, as you can see, the screen does not shut all the way, though this may have something to do with my screen protector (tempered glass) so I may order another screen protector and try this after removing the one that is currently on the phone. I apologize for the bad quality of the other photos not taken from the phone but I hope this gives you some insight on this neat product. I am definitely going to rock the case on my phone (with the tempered glass still on) and see if it sets, but we will see! I will keep in with updates and I will add more photos and a short video of it in use in a little bit. Anyways, check it out!
Edit: Link to YouTube action https://youtu.be/TBpQQER2Qxs Just a hands on showing more angles and what not. Enjoy
As stated, I am still fiddling with it and I will be taking more photos of other angles such as the side and back in the process, give me a few minutes I just got this baby in the mail
Edit: I just wanted to throw in that I LOVE the DotView concept but the actual dots kind of got to me so if I can get this case to work proplerly this is ***EXACTLY*** what I have been looking for. Again, absolutely love it. Thank you for the recommendation @vegetaleb :silly:
Edit Edit: Making a short YoutTube now! Give me a few to get it up :highfive:
Wow thanks!
Why still using a tempered glass while you have a cover to protect the screen?

I decided to take off the tempered, I will post new pics after this video is uploaded. It shows more of the sides and the flap in action and what not. I'm loving the case though!
Edit: And yes without the glass it makes a big difference :silly: (duh)
Here are a couple photos of the case on the phone without the tempered glass on it and it sits MUCH better my silly little review should be done uploading any second now, ill add it to my first post with the first set of photos.
Thanks!
Did you take the video with tempered glass?
How easy it is to pop up the phone from the cover?

Yes the video was with the glass still on, I didn't expect it to make THAT big of a difference. Boy was I wrong lol. I am assuming you are talking about getting the phone out of the case all together? It is fairly easy, but there is no way it would just fall out on it's own. I just grabbed the 2 outer edges and gently pulled them back and pushed up on the phone but it sits securely in the housing.
Glad to hear that the quality is good and it fits well over the phone.
Waiting for the white one.
Did you try it outdoor?
I think I am gonna get one instead of the HTC one, at least I will feel something new after a year with the M8's Dot View
is this case thin or its a bit massive?
anyway it looks cool, goin to order the gold one
sweet, from what i am seeing it looks slimmer than the M9 dot view, i am about to place an order for this case as well but even without the glass cover the flip isn't closing isn't it? this might be a deal breaker for me
It it a bit slimmer than the official HTC case, after using for a day I am liking it a lot. Especially fir the price the touch responsiveness is seemingly better since the face of the cover is more smooth. Definitely recommend it :silly:

At this rate it's looking like it could be sitting flat or at least very close by the end of the day, I have been leaving it face down to help it along when on my desk. Also, one thing to note is that when I open it up it does not affect the progress of setting, i.e. it does not "unfold" a little every time I open it up and have to be pushed back down. :good:
I will post a photo for ya' in a bit so you can see how it is sitting after a day of use.
Sorry it took so long, but here is a photo of the lid after almost 24 hours of use, it does seem to me that eventually it will settle, I may try to help it out with some light bending. I still love this case, this one was an awesome find so thank you!

Bought a case from Amazon for £1.79 and wanted to share what a great find it is.
Already bought a Krussel leather off the self from CPW which was fine for a while but now it has loosened a bit a couple of times the phone has almost flown out of the pouch. Luckily I never dropped it!
In some desperation I searched for a silicon/gel case to get me by till some official cases appear on the market. I knew others had some mixed reviews about the nexus one cases mobilefun were selling but I didn't want to spend that much on something that I was intending to be temporary. Instead I found this on amazon Accessory Village HTC Google Nexus One (Black) Super Hydro Gel Protective Armour/Case/Skin/Cover/Shellon.
It's really good! Power button and volume buttons are perfect with raised bits over them. All holes match up fine, only part that is not perfect is the speaker holes on the back and I'm sure I can modify them.
I've taken some pics and will upload them later when I get in front of my pc.
Great find!
Looking at it, it seems to be identical to the one that MobileFun are offering, albeit you save 9 of your Great British pounds
I ordered one the same as this from eBay earlier, I hope it does the job till something more permanent comes along!
I have this aswell.
It's a slightly tighter fit than one would expect, and i do fear it may start to damage the back of the phone if left on for a long period of time. When i say that i mean the rubber type material on the back of the phone may start to wear away? There's been reports of it already.
It is for the Nexus one and not Desire (like so many right now) but for the money it's a good temporary case.
Argh. Got side tracked last night and ran out of time to post pics. Will do that later this morning.
Forgot also to mention 2 important things.
1 the supplier doesn't charge delivery in the UK and it arrived next day.
2 the case pictured is totally different from the one I received. It's not black, its semi transparent with a nice dotted pattern. It doesn't have a hideous red stripe across the back and there is no nexus one logo on it. In fact as its semi transparent u can pretty clearly see the HTC logo through it.
Something else, the case is a perfect fit I think. Its just tight enough to make it just a little difficult to put on but not so tight you think it will damage the phone.
Pics now below. Ignore the screen protector its just a temporary one till a proper one arrives.

I bought the same case but paid 2.95 on ebay :-(
Agree it's a good fit, but still concerned it might mark the phone, which I can only see it doing if removing and inserting the phone from the case a lot, as it's a good fit and does not move around.
don't worry about it marking the phone, I have exactly the same silicon case but for htc hero (the same colour, looks and all) and it has never marked my phone for 9 months I've been using it.

Your very welcome
Thanks for the info Predo, nice to know it will be kind to my phone. How does your hero version look after 9 months in your pocket? Still have the shine?
Saquib - 2.95 still a very good price
Have now put a Vikuiti screen protector on mine, wow, silky smooth. Really easy to fit and worth the £9ish I paid for it. So glad it was on there as ive already managed to scratch it with something, no idea how just glad it wasnt the screen Also bought this from Amazon and was delivered from Germany in 2 days with free delivery. Very easy to fit too.
One other thing about the case, it fits so well that if your screen protector is also a perfect fit then the case tends to lift the edges of the screen protector. You can see that on the pics above. I had to trim a little off the corners a the top of my screen protector to stop this but its now perfect.
look just like new. i think that this case is awesome and will deffo be getting one for desire when i eventually buy it.

Sorry for the confusion. As posted by someone else already this case is the exact one. Note that the pic in the link does not match the actual item I received. Might be worth contacting them first in case they revert back to the nexus one branded one.
Good luck

I ordered one of those. But since its from HK it will probbably take a couple of weeks to arrive.
Just so you guys know - I ordered the case via the amazon link for the hybrid protective armor and didn't receive the same as the original poster. Mine is a hard 2 piece shell, rubberized on the outside but plastic in the inside - I haven't actually received my desire yet (stupid vodafone) but I'm not sure how good it would be. The back clips on to the front fascia. Seems pretty sturdy but not sure if the plastic would scratch the Desire at all? It's not a gel case anyway.
Anyway, just a warning - maybe they didn't have the one in stock for me.. or even for the original poster - my invoice said HTC google nexus one hybrid black. I can take photo's if anyones interested
I was afraid of this. Hope your case ends up being ok, but as was thinking when I originally ordered mine its not a great deal of money to risk

I have mine (which is the same as the pictures on the first page and cost £1.79 from Amazon). I think it looks pretty good to be honest, not sure about the feel, but the problem is I don't have my bloody Desire yet! T-mobile still haven't sent me one and I ordered it 16 days ago now. This wait is horrible!
I hate waiting for gadgets to arrive in the post, often end up paying over the odds just so I can pick things up from a shop..
Feel for you Tom, can reassure you that the case looks a whole lot better on the phone than off it. And as for the desire itself I'm just blown away. Came from a HTC touch hd, had almost made up my mind to go for a iclone when I saw techradars top 15 phones on the planet (iphone number 2 and desire number 1).
Now I've convinced my wife to upgrade to the legend ill be in tech heaven for the next year
I, like many others i`m sure, is looking for a good quality shell for a Omnia 7. Can`t find anything as yet.
If you do see a good shell, please post a link here.
Thank you!!
I bought this one from eBay which has arrived today:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAMSUNG-I8700..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43a3706915
It's ok, thought I would recommend getting the black one rather than the smoked one I have. The only issue I have is that the sleep, camera and volume buttons are a bit difficult to press with the case one. I think it may soften or loosen up with a bit of use so I'll keep it on for now and see how it goes.
DC
Yup they soften up
i was the same. But few days now and they are nice and easy to press.
I did give them a bit of a warming up by clicking them a fair few times, but does work to loosen the silicone up.
I got the black one as you can see by this post/pics

I'm struggling with screen protectors though. I ordered some cheapy ones from a German seller but, with the greatest of respect, they're utter dogsh1t. Far too thin, scratched by a piece of card I was using to push bubbles out.
I really want to find a nice anti-glare protector if I can, otherwise I'll be going the Martin Fields route.

Sounds like you got the same ones as me, That's my 4th film heh... I know why they put 6 in there now but for £4........ or a scratched phone ?
Ether way mine is more protected than my other parts of me have ever been
btw i found it's less pressure with the card, and more laying it down and just ever so slowly backing it up and using the card to make sure the bubble you saw don't re-lay where it was.
I'm no expert but 1st go was a joke.... so many bubbles i laughed hard...
2nd better but no dice,
3rd was brilliant apart from a few bits, and my mind just made me take it off and start again
4th was perfect give or take 1 - 3 bubbles i can live with until i try again
You want to hear how my mate managed with an ipad XD
I am having trouble finding screen protectors as well. I think I ordered the same thing as you guys (bedifol ultraclear) from protectionfilms24 but when I went to their site, it seems it's pretty much their lowest range and looking at the reviews for the various cuts they offer for other phones, I am just wondering if it's worth not having a screen protector at all.
Please let me know if you have managed to found one that is good.
Cheers.
Low range - high range.... It was ALL that was out when i got the phone/wanted protection
It does what it says.
It protects the screen XD
0.05mm thick - Same as the "one" for £8 which i bought as with the £3 one to test all of them, Recently bought the martin fields and imo... it tints it for me.... i like the clear/glazed protectors which look like the glass it should be.
So 6 for £4 is win win
I got a screen protector from here http://www.devdef.com/products/for-samsung-omnia-7 (actually I got two), but I found that they're pretty good and by far the easiest to install of any screen protector I've ever used. To apply it, you need to moisten it (instructions are on the site), and then you can slide it over the surface of the phone, before it dries, until you get the perfect positioning. Bubbles are also easy to remove because of this - you just have to do it before it sets. The only drawback, really, is that it's pretty reflective. I don't notice very much in use, but it reflects bright lights quite a lot, so if you're looking for anti-reflective coating, I'd give this a miss. Also on a plus - it's pretty strong as you can see from the video on the site. Also, as the instructions say, it improves the longer it's on your device. Initially it looks a bit poor, but stick with it (no pun intended )

Very nice indeed. And I am using savvy screen protector, little rubbery in touch but not bad at all
Yeah, I used fairy liquid and water, and you only need a tiny amount of fairy liquid - it's concentrated, you know ;-), and you also only need very little of the solution on the screen protector. Also, as I mentioned it looks pants to start off with, and it takes a while to dry, but eventually it looks fine. If you like a shiny screen protector.
I bought both of them on eBay. Very fine !

I am looking for a case which is similar to my incipio feather for iphone 4 and as far as I can see they don't exist and I detest gel cases with a passion so will continue to wait.
Very slippery phone to hold too!
Seen the perfect one but not in stock for weeks (judging by the galaxy s model).

As promised the pics of the CM barely there case.
edit: It also came with a free screen protector & a piece of cleaning cloth which I haven't used yet. Waiting for my current screen protector to be bit more scratched up (martin fields). Shouldn't take long.
That case looks really good just a pity I had to send my Omnia 7 away for repair!
What bothers me with these case is that I won't feel the cold metallic, sturdy cover finish in my hand anymore Is there any possibility to have a bumper instead?
I saw this case on an auction site in China and asked a friend who is from China to help me get it from there.
Here is the package:

The back:
Out of the box:
Fit nicely on my DZ:
Here is one nice thing about this case. The back piece is transparent with white edges around it so the original design isn't covered. With some other cases that cover the whole back, the phone kinda looks an iPhone after putting the case on (especially if you have white or black cases), which is not something I want.
Another good thing about this case is that instead of have all the holding clips around the 4 corners, the clips are in the middle of the top and bottom edges of the 2 shells. They clip on to the little hole on top and bottom of the phone.
This way, the gap between the top half and bottom half of the phone won't be enlarged by the thickness of the clips like those cases with clips at the 4 corners.
But this case is by no means perfect. The polish and finishing could need some better works. But I am not complaining since it is quite hard to find a nice case for this phone.
It doesn't add much thickness to the phone either.
The top part of the shell at the edge right above the keyboard side also have its edge shaved inward so that is will not block the keyboard when it's opened.
See the location of the clips:
A lot of cases out there would make the phone look ridiculous, but this one sure made mine looks better.

You can now get this case from here if you do not live in China: http://mygadgitude.com/categories/Cases/Mobile/HTC/HTC-Desire-Z/

WOOW Thats pimp! May I have the site so I can buy it too?
(Even tho my desire z got dropped multiple times already lol)
I bought mine from this link:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9722661818
Looks like nobody in US or Europe are selling them at all.
You will need to find someone you know from China or Hong Kong to help you get this I guess. Not sure if they sell international though if you try to get it yourself.
If you do a search with terms "taobao english agent" on Google, looks like there are now companies that will help people from the English world to order things from taobao . com(it's like the Ebay of China but have way more stuff and way cheaper).
How much did you pay for it?

Yeah, that clock is cool. There will be an animation of the arms swinging from the 12 o'clock position to the actual current time every time you load back the home screen from some place else.
But if it could show the date and day of the week it would be perfect.
its possbile to have it shipped 2 us.. but just a bit expensive

Since the weight of the case is so light, I don't think the shipping cost to US will cost too much.
I really like this case. Alot alot. If someone can find it, please update this post.

Capdase has stores here in the philippines, it' also one of the most imitated brands here locally so they have a lot of fakes.
I don't think the sell online though unless you go to a 3rd party site. Like cresdo.com (which doesn't really have all of capdase's products)
They also have some really good screen protectors. Anti glare, fingerprint etc...
Much better than the screen protector that I got from otterbox.

Well maybe if there is enough people buying it, I might start a group buy for it.

I am not sure of this forum really allow private group buy or not though.
It usually goes like this: Some one buy a tons from the source, then mail them out one by one to different buyers after receiving payments (over Paypal) from them.

I had one of these for my Samsung Vibrant, nice and thin, adds a little splash of color without any real additional weight and is only 1-2mm thick. Not really much protection if the phone is dropped but then again it's better than nothing at all.
I just ordered the 4 pack so I could pick and choose colors (I'm fickle like that) based on my mood. $9.99 for 4 of them and free shipping - not bad at all!

Doesn't really cover any of the front - it clips on from the back only.
So does it cover like the barely there or? If it covers identical to the barely there case from case mate, I'd be down to order some.
When is yours gonna arrive? We need some pics!
P.S. Thanks for the link.

I just found this Ebay ad with the same cases showing the front of the phone in them - make sure to click to make the photo "supersize"

Not sure about the barely there case, never had one. I literally had just ordered it before putting up the post, so, I figure within 10 days... At $2.50 each I am not going to complain much ... There's a photo of the same one I had for my Vibrant in this post, shows the front but there's no phone in it:

I have never seen these in action before but they are different and quite nice, thanks for the link.
Like the look of them, just purchased one on ebay for 2.80 gbp

These are cool but they don't protect the most important part in this phone which is the bottom. That's the only part that is not part of the outter shell and if it breaks or scratches cannot be fixed for cheap. I still might get one.

I bought mine for one simple reason - they look good and are not commonly seen.
Plus I can tell my girlfriend I bought them to match her purse or shoes LOL

you're welcome.
Is it just me or does the dark blue, red and purple colored cases seem 'metallic' while the other colors are matte?
Just got mine and I like it. Very minimalist. LOL, I'm not sure it does a lot other than help to distinguish my phone from my wife's But for $2, that's ok
Had to make a small set of cuts to expand the area around the USB port (to work with 3rd party micro-USB).
Hey zim could you post some pics of the modification you needed to do to the usb.
Thanks

Very minor.. I copied the pic from the ad, and drew in RED (on the green case) the small section where I cut to make the opening larger. thankfully we had some funky cutters here at work (kinda like wire clippers, but with a 45 degree angle at the end) which made the clipping easy.
Thanks for the info!
Will have to see what I can find to do the same mod once FailurePost here decides to deliver my case...

hey guys. i have one of these cases. ive had it on for 2 days and barely taken my phone anywhere and when i have it was like i was cradling a baby around.
The case has already split at the bottom between the hole at the back of the case and the base. They are quite brittle.
They look cool, but are very weak and useless for protection.
why do you treat babies so harshly?

Greetings Fellow Nexus 4's
So I've been on the hunt for a flip case for the Nexus 4 which flips to the left, the only ones I could find that DID flip to the left either:
Doesn't sit flip to the back properly
Doesn't stay closed
So after much searching I found this. The TETDED Premium Leather Flip Case for the Nexus 4 (Link in the bottom of this thread).
It came fairly quickly, was sent with FedEx, and it got delivered in perfect condition (well wrapped).
The linings are great, the texture feels really nice (doesn't feel cheap at all). The bottom feels like it's made of hard plastic with leather wrapped around it, the top is soft leather (you can "squeeze" it), here are some pictures: (Sorry for some of them having insane amounts of noise, my room is fairly dark and they're taken with the camera on my old O2X)
It engulfs the phone perfectly, nothing is exposed.
The camera lens and flash is clearly visible and free (not obstructed)
There's a hole for the speakers. Headphone jack visible and exposed (not obstructed), with this I don't mean it's exposed to damage.
You can plug the charger in while the case is on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall, very happy with the case, it doesn't feel like it adds bulk to the phone (no issues with putting it into pocket etc.), it feels very secure (not afraid that if I drop the phone it'll shatter into a million pieces), I'd give it 9/10. Not to be a fanboy, but I've been looking for a case like this ever since I got the phone, and this gives me everything I need, it's easy to open with one hand and I can operate the phone with the case flipped all the way back with easy, it doesn't feel like I'm stressing the case, I'm not afraid the phone will spontaneously pop out of the case, the quality is great, the texture is nice and rugged. The only thing I can "point fingers at" is the fact that it's somewhat "hard" (not that hard, just a but harder), to push the volume buttons, but this should self evident as this is a flip case and that's just how they are. Feedback upon the review would also be greatly appreciated.
I'd recommend it to anyone.
This is the case in question:

Kind regards, Neefy
How about when you are in phone call? Does the front flip need to be open when you are in phone call? or we can do the phone call with the front flip closed? And how about the phone call sound? thx
I.. Actually haven't tested it with it closed, I just by default always have it open during calls.

Big thanks before. I just love the case but I wonder if I can do the phone call when it close.
I recently have had an operation in my mouth, so I'm unable to comfortably make a phone call, once I'm all good again I'll be sure to test it out

How is the clasp on the case, the thing on the flap that keeps the flap closed, does it get annoying but mainly is it too tight so it takes extra effort to open it?

It's quite easy to get open (requires very little force) and doesn't open by itself, I've had my case on since the day I got it (the day this thread was created) and it's still fully functional

That's nice to know, i hope the clasp on mine doesn't take much force to open and close either, I'm dreading that might be the case if I get it
Does the case add a lot of bulk to the phone and take the feel of the phone away?
Thanks much for the information you posted about TETDED and especially for the You Tube video of your manipulating one of its cases. Perhaps because I live in the US, I had never heard of this company and am so pleased that a thread I found when researching reviews for cases saw TETDED mentioned. I'm going to order a case today. Thanks, OhioBabs
