HTC Desire Case with Kickstand

Hey everyone, I'll be getting the Desire soon and have been shopping for accessories. I'm a bit envious of the kickstand that the HTC EVO has so I've been looking for a case for the Desire that has a built-in kickstand.
So far I've found one from Body Glove, but the kickstand is built into a belt clip, which is not exactly desirable (pun intended).
Has anyone else had any luck finding a case with a kickstand for the Desire?

Get yourself a Crabble Stand
Small and indispensable

Thanks for the reply, I'll look into it. I was just hoping for something built into the case so I didn't have to carry around something extra.

Thats exactly what I'm looking for. Did you find one?

I too would love to find something like this. Having a decent, slick case that doubled as a kickstand would be fantastic. Anybody else have any luck finding something like this?

+1 for this

Looking for a great belt clip holster case...

Ive looked around these threads, and haven't really found what I'm looking for. I've recently required a job at Best Buy, soon to be Best Buy mobile and I'm looking for a belt clip to hold my G2, in a otterbox case as well. Any ideas? Links? Thanks a lot!

I use a PDair Leather Holster when at work.
For my use, it is great. Not cheap ($30) but it is a very well built product. The stitching on the leather and the fit of the phone is perfect. The clip that attaches to the belt is very strong and tight, doesn't move around on me at all.

If you are going to use the Otterbox case AND a holster, I would suggest looking for a generic leather pouch designed for a phone that is slightly larger than the G2/DZ.

Canadian Best-Buy's have a pouch for the Desire Z...I don't know if US Best-buy's have the equivalent though. I'm guessing though, that it will be pretty hard to find a case that will fit the otterbox case.

You think I would just look around online? What do you think would be a good phone to search for, like a larger case? I'm sure there is a case for the phone. Ill just have to look.

If you want a plastic clip hoster that can be used with a OEM or Otterbox hard case, this is what you need... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857164

Yeah, that's the one I use. It works well since most pouches don't fit with the hard case and the ones that do have magnetic claps that interfer with the compass. And the holster looks pretty good too. Looks similar to the defender otterbox series while the phone is in the holster. I doubt that the magnets do any permanent damage but better safe than sorry...

Best hard case for sensation 4g?

When I bought my sensation I also bought the body glove case with the belt clip but as most of you know the case was leaving indentations on the back cover. Body glove sent me a replacement but the new ones fits very loose.
So which case do you guys recommend I purchase to replace my body glove case? I prefer hard cases over the soft tpu type cases everybody likes. I also prefer that the case has some sort of rubber or leather type material on the back. I may consider the two piece slider cases if it looks nice.
So I'm open to any suggestions. I haven't seen many threads about hard cases. Please if you can post a picture as well
Thanks

It seems like a really nice case but I personally don't like the plain and smooth look.

How about this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/4-x-New-Mesh-Hard-Case-Cover-HTC-Sensation-G14-/230640628333
I ordered a set. They're snap on cases, and doesn't protect the top/bottom, also they're flimsy Just a nice looking colored mesh back cover.

I was given one of those cases (the black one) for free by the woman (in China) I bought the phone from.. I looked and saw that dude on eBay has sold 66 sets of 4 cases for $9.99 each and given free shipping to all. I figured he's made $500 from all this because the cases only cost 5RMB each (like $0.80).. good work to him.. damn I need to move to HK haha

Wait for either Otterbox or Trident to release their cases. Ive had Otterbox previously and love their work and Trident cases look badass but havent used one yet, will probably by my next purchase when their available (1-2 weeks)

check that facebook page.

Looove the tough cases by them.
Although I wanted something different because I spent a long time with one on my nexus one... time to change it up.
Was gonna go for Incipio's similar hybrid style but they dont have it yet for the sensation

Anyone know of a case like the case-mate tough case or otterbox but on a budget? Can't afford to buy a $30-$49 case right now but I want something with protection, not a tpu case.

nillkin one ,check ebay uk or other marketplace

I got one of these off ebay. For $1.79AUD delivered I am very happy. Pretty good quality really. Protects the front and back and It has all the mic holes too.
It comes with a front piece and and a back piece that clip together.

Iv used the ROCK case, nice and slips on the easiest.

Leather Case Options and Suggestions

Ok, I've been looking for a leather case for a while now. I think I've searched all the web but have found nothing to what I am exactly looking for. I hate the flip cases and find them annoying (this isn't '99) and HATE TPU cases because of their extremely cheap feel.
I did find a gorgeous leather case that I am extremely interested in made by Zenus. Unfortunately, they make cases for all the wrong phones like the iPhone 4 and SGSII so far. The particular case I'm interested is in this http://www.zenuscaseusa.com/ZENUS-Galaxy-Leather-Stand-Masstige/dp/B005ELMLTS?ie=UTF8&id=ZENUS%20Galaxy%20Leather%20Stand%20Masstige&field_product_site_launch_date_utc=-1y&field_availability=-1&field_browse=3207153011&searchSize=12&searchNodeID=3207153011&searchPage=1&refinementHistory=brandtextbin%2Csubjectbin%2Ccolor_map%2Cprice%2Csize_name%2Cmaterial_type%2Cspecial_features&searchRank=salesrank and just blew my socks off.
I emailed them if they would have any for the Sensation but no luck. Do any of you know of anything equivalent to this somewhere on the world?? Meanwhile, I'm looking at this case to get me by and the leather just saves it. http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Go-Case-P91667.htm It looks like it fits like a glove. But I guess I'm not the only one who found out and its on Pre-order and sold out atm on Amazon...
My search continues..

So any suggestions? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Seen anything out there?

unfortunately I dont think there are any... I hate the flip ones as well, that's why I'm buying a leather case and cut the flap part

no case for me

This Zenus case is indeed beautiful...

What is the thinnest case available?

I really dislike using any case at all on my phones. I've never used them in the past. But this phone is just so darned slippery, a case is practically necessary to keep from dropping it all the time. So right now I'm using the Diztronic case, and while it is quite thin, it still IMHO adds significantly to the phone's size. Are there any cases that are more just like a thin skin? I am not looking for any drop protection; just looking to make the back of the phone less slippery. I suppose some kind of sticker could also do the job...
Any ideas appreciated. TIA!

Might want to check out ghost armor or something like a full body skin. Basically a screen protector but for your whole phone.
Or check out the incipio feather or one of the barely there cases.

Full body skins are a terrible idea and a recipe for destroying your phone by corrosion, especially on a device with a sealed battery like this one.
Use an HTC hard case or something similar. They are very light and thin, but they will also easily break if you take it off and put it back on many times.

I use the diztronic case and it adds almost no bulk yo the phone at all.

Body glove makes a nice thin case. I bought one at walmart for $20ish.

Thinnest cases are these thin shell cases. I have the black one and it's really thin and doesn't hide the beauty of the phone.

Skullcandy makes a really thin case for the One S. I can only find them on eBay.

I have both the black one and the transparent one.
They are really thin and add minimum bulk to the phone. However, they also barely protect the phone at all, probably only good for keeping the back of the phone from scratches.
At the back, the case is level with the red/blue ring around the camera lens, i doubt it protects the lens at all.
The transparent one has a frosted feel and is still pretty slippery, but it's better than without a case at all.
I would recommend the black one as it gives a rubbery texture and it's pretty grippy.
Overall i love how the cases manage to give me minimum protection and bulk.
i chose the One S over the X partly due to it's thiness, so i bought these cases to keep it that way.
Cheers!

nice

It really seems to be the thinnest one. However, I haven't seen the "perfect" case yet. I hope someday someone will do it...

I really want a nillkin but I just can't get myself to pay $20 for something I am sure I will end up not using.

only found them on amazon and they will not ship to Canada; any other source?

I've used one of the inexpensive (sub $5) mesh cases off eBay. Extremely thin, feels great in the hand, but quality could be better. Then again I paid three bucks for it.
Dust definitely gets behind the case through all the holes, but I'm willing to deal with that to get the additional heat dissipation for those times when it gets toasty. I just wish I could find a vented TPU case instead of this hard rubberized plastic.

Ebay: http://www.ebay.es/itm/Diztronic-Ma...ccessories&hash=item3a73a03573#ht_1789wt_1414

For that price you could the HTC kickstand case that looks just like it. If it is out yet that is.
