Anyone have issues applying the thin fit case after with a dbrand skin on. It does not seem to fit well. Secondly, I find the thin fit case is extremely hard to remove. Is it just me, or is this how the case is supposed to be?
They revised the fit so it's not as super tight. I have one and it works perfectly with a dbrand. You can check my case review OP because I posted pictures of the fit with my dbrand skin in there.

Yea I think mine was too tight. It was so tight upon removing the case, something weird happened. My volume down rocker now takes more force to push than before
Mine comes off with marginal effort but it's rock solid.

That's good to know they revised it. I think I got the bad batch. Do you have any idea of what may have caused the volume rocker issue?

It sounds like the case is sitting lower/higher than if should be depending on which part of the rocker its touching. It could be due to the initial overly tight fit of the case along with the skin. The newer version I have isn't loose at all, and fits fine with a skin. I used it the other day and it felt fine buttons and all. Spigen cases generally have very low tolerances so they got better, but this can occasionally cause an issue for some people.

yea, thats the issue. the volume down rocker is not as tactile as before. It requires significantly more force, and feels "mushy" instead.

You could RMA it if it's that bad. Unfortunately if you can't get it to click then there isn't a whole lot that can be done. Have you tried physically moving the rocker from the bottom/top up/down (not the way it clicks) to see it that helps

Hi I am currently awaiting delivery for my DHD (and it could be a week or two).
I am wondering if anyone who owns a Silicone case - or something similar, and has found a case that allows for the phone to sit flat on a table surface to allow for one handed use. With the camera design set out from the main body I am hoping the case would come up to this level preventing rocking action.
Does the phone rock around on a table when used without a case or is it bearable?
I will then add a screen protector perhaps a Zagg product or similar.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Si
mine is currently cases-less, and does rock around when it on the table. however, placing a little phone sock under the phone is good at reducing the rocking, but i cant find one big enough to fit the phone in yet.
still looking for a good case, but it seems 3rd parties are being slow with this phone.
I'm needing a case or something like a bumper for my DHD.
I've had it 3 weeks and dropped it twice on to hard surfaces, got 2 small scratches and a small dent at the power button (since the button was flush with the case to start with, its actually made it a bit better!! LOL)
but my luck won't last too much longer so I need to protect it...
any ideas??
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I was thinking of using a phone sock to help keep it protected, the problem is having to slide the phone out every time i want to use it, id end up just leaving it somewhere. But keeping it steady with one is a good idea - but overall I'm looking for something more protective, good looking and will prevent the rocking.
I'm normally quite good with not dropping my phones, but a bumper or silicone case would be a must with a screen this size...don't really want to scratch or dent it (even if it has its upsides ;D ).
I'll keep looking, the annoying thing is that all the silicone ones I have found only have front or back on photos, not from the side...which is obviously important to check the level in relation to the camera area.
Cheers
Si
Was browsing through Google products and found this new one on Play, looks really cool not as dull and uninspired as the average silicone protector. I don't know again if it will help the issue with the raised camera, but I am still really interested.
play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/17123125/Exspect-HTC-Desire-HD-Tough-Silicone-Case-Black/Product.html?_$ja=tsid:11518|cc:|prd:17123125|cat:Mobile+#
I bought one of these and it does what it says on the tim. Protects the back and sides while offering unfettered access to the screen. It helps with the grip too, so I'm less likely to drop it (eek!)
Just so you know, the following case does have a slight wobble to it left and right when typing whilst on a flat surface. Not loads, but a wobble is there!

Yeah it looks good, nice to know its tougher than silicone, but unless it solves the rocking issue - I still prefer the one I found on Play...just because its cool looking.
but if you give it a go, let us know how well it performs and fits.
Well tbh I'm leaning toward the black one too but this TPU thing caught my attention and I was wondering if anyone has it

I don't think anyone should have it yet since HTC haven't released it.
I ordered it from handtec before but they say they will get it at the end of the month so I canceled mine.

To be honest, I don't think the picture shown is even the actual product. There is no hole for the speaker and the whole is definitely for the 3.5mm jack. (you can see the power button raised on the upper right corner). Since the case is not released yet, this is quite possible.
I've got this one too...
As CD993 says it does wobble, but only marginally... this is a TOUCH screen after all, you don't need to press very hard for it to respond!
The fact it's nearly £10 cheaper than the official HTC one (and yes, the image is wrong or else it's not going to have enough cutouts on the back!) is good enough for me!

Hello NS Owners,
Does your NS squeek when you apply slight pressure on the plastic at the side of the volume rocker?
Mine does and it annoys mei! For €470 it should be a solid build. I'm just wondering if I got a bad one or are they all like this. I don't really want to stuff it with paper!
Thanks
Nope. I've had two, neither squeeked.

Look man, this is what you get with Samsung. You cant expect a solid build when 95% of their hardware is plastic. HTC or Apple on the other hand, they reason why their phones have such good build quality is because they're made out of solid metal (typically aluminum) and glass. Yeah, my volume buttons are wiggly and squeaky if i push them against the plastic bezel too. I have learned to live with it. It's just how Samsung works.
Thanks
Okay thank you both for your input. I think I will contact Samsung. Even if they won't do anything for me, at least they might take note of the complaint.

Better than nothing for sure, but all in all, I hope they don't make the next Nexus phone... :/
Mines doesn't squeak. I think it probably would eventually if you keep removing the battery cover. I try not to remove mines.
I honestly do not have a problem with the plastic build because its light and I love to lay down in bed holding my phone over my face. My old myTouch 4g had superb build quality, but was just too heavy to hold for long periods.

HTC? Have you every touched a HD2? Or seen the screen coming apart on an EVO? HTC is no curve setter, and i personally would put them in the same class as samsung, other than the newest phones coming out recently.

Funny, I've owned 2, and they both of them had buttons that squeaked/rattled. But like another user said, I put a case on them, and it doesn't squeak any more - the case puts just enough tension on them to keep them from rattling in place.

I'm very happy that you have so much money. If ever you feel the need to make your pockets a bit lighter then I'll gladly help you out.
And to everyone else:
It's not the buttons that squeak. It's where the back cover "touches" the buttons. It's almost like the back cover isn't clipping on properly so it moves a little bit and then it squeaks. I've tried using a silicon cover but that had no effect... I wish that they used the Samsung Wave design for the Nexus S. That phone was solid as a rock.
Hi guys,
Got my case from Mobile Fun today. Decent case but not really worth the price it's at. It's just that I hate S-Line cases so I had to get something else for now.

Hi,
I just ordered this case too. Why do you say it's not worth the price? What aren't u happy about? Can you give me some insight while I can still cancel the order?
I picked this one cause It's clear and it has the rubber feel (I dont like the solid cases like the S shape one).
Btw, I never used a case before, I always had my phones naked but I don't want to risk with this baby N4
Case does great for me. Means I can hold it safer without risk of dropping
Some pictures to try and help - not sure they actually show anything.
My only negative feedback so far: Sometimes I think the power button isn't as responsive as I'd like because of the extra plastic cover but that's minor and I'll get used to pressing the button a little more.
I've actually got the exact same case on my phone as I type this. I quite like the case, it's cheap so I can't really complain about it.

I have this case too (smoke version). I'm quite impressed with it TBH. It's more rigid than the usual TPU cases and will offer a bit more protection (I hope)
You can still see the writing on the back through the case, but not the nice shiny bits.
It's not as 'grippy' when lying on the table as some of my previous cases, but grippy enough not to slide off easily.

Of course not having a case will def feel better.

Received mine a few days ago. The button feedback is normal as well. Maybe this is the 'fixed' one as well. Anyway, great case, snug fit. The only thing that is, have to remove it every now and then to remove dust that visible in between clear plastic and N4 back glass. A bit annoyed to see those specks of dust... Nothing major
Also can confirm the buttons on this case are perfect now . received mine yesterday.
where can this case be ordered in the uk ?

I got mine from Amazon a few days ago and mine is fixed. Button feedback is great.

nop at all! the only "down" is the back, since its acrylic, time to time accumulates some dust.
Got this case a few days back and it's excellent. Button feedback is better than without the case - indeed, the power button now works 100% for me while I was having trouble with it before. Fits like a glove, the cut outs are perfect, especially the mini jack - I can fit most headphones in it now.
In my opinion this is the best case I could buy. It makes the device feel a bit bigger and thicker, but I have more grip when I hold it, and feel absolutely protected. It fell a few times and got no damage whatsoever. The back got a bit scratched, but it's ok, it's two years old!
A nice touch is the tiny feet on the back, so when you put it on a table, you can perfectly hear the speaker.
Definitely a very good case.

The Spigen Neo Hybrid case is very good quality, small profile, protects against moderate drops (personal experience), and resolves the issue very well (very good feel to it). But, the case is very snug and back is more slick to touch then some other cases. Best case though so far IMHO. Depends on your preferences in all. Most cases will resolve the button rattle because of snug fit around the phone, thus stabilizing.
Had the exact same issue on my first N5. Talked to Google and returned it. New one is perfect.
