I Just found some really good one from ebay: -

Why don't these cases cover the top of the phone! Is there like a reason for this?! I mean seriously, the phone can fall out, you can drop it on its top, what would make them leave the top part of the phone un-protected and cover the rest of it -_-'

I guess you can see the upper part of the phone so you can take it out with your fingers.
The pouch is only on the phone when you are not using it i.e. pocket, handbag & anyway when you are not using it what the % anyway the chance that its going fall on the upper visible side of the phone.
the only concern is that the pouch has a magnetics...which might mess up you compass.

I don't think the magnet is strong enough to mess up the compass
Sorry too junior to post a link but what about the pull-tab leather holster from shop.brando.com ( use find product on the home page ).
magnets will screw with your compass. I had an N1 holster with magnetic
lid closure. I tested first. Started with the compass app on, with the phone
front of me like normal and held the holster at arms length, and slowly brought
it closer. At about 2 1/2 ft, the compass needle started deflecting, and got
much worse as I brought the holster closer. Got my money back.
I've also had two of my bank payments cards destroyed by magnets on the phone-holster....The magnet-stripe on the cards couldn't take it when I accidently put the phone and card in same pocket....
(of course the chip on the cards is more widely used now, instead of the stripe, but...)

What is wrong with it specifically? How is the quality and fit?
I'm looking for a nicer case than the stock one, mostly to protect it from my keys. I don't really mind if the compass doesn't work when I'm not using the phone.
If this isn't it, does anyone else have a recommendation for a quality N1 case under $40?
I want a real friggin' pouch with leather carved of Virginian grown cows with the Android logo iron-burned into the leather and smooth innside lining.. I would pay top $$$ for one.
None of that fake syntethic leather stuff.. i want to spoil my Nexus..
Somthing like this: http://www.senacases.com/google/htc-google-nexus-one-cases/
I ordered http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000884&products_id=28053
Looks classy and nice, even though it won't have a flip i hope it will fit it tight enough. Still, i want a cow pouch and would kill for one..
I have the sena flip case with the magnets. It does not affect the compass when the flip part of it is open or flipped backwards under the phone. If you go to flip it closed the needle will twirl as you pass the magnets over the top of the phone. That's the only time though. Nothing while it's in the case.
I hated the case at first. Couldn't grab the pull down bar at the top of the phone. After breaking it in for a week it was no problem.

I've always liked Sena cases. VERY high quality stuff. I two in the past, one for my HTC 8125 and one for my Blackjack II. Never ended up getting one for my Tilt 2, though. I play on getting the Ultraslim soon for my Nexus One.
You can tell these manufacturers do not use a cell phone.
These cases NEVER have a hole for the speaker. With the nexus speaker being so low I can only imagine how those cases will muffle the sound.
I always end up cutting a hole myself, but WHY don't they do that themselves? Would be very easy for them, than we can hear ringtones and music with no problem!

Yeah it is sweet but I gave it away because I use the chrome snap-on case from Case-mate and it would fit anymore now I have to use the pouch that came with the phone which I love anyways. When it comes to the Snap-ons I've bought almost all of them even the new one from Incipio and they are all pure crap except the one from Case-mate I give it a 9/10. Also I submitted a review for that case 5 stars but for some reason they didn't accept it.

There is the original HTC pouch for the Desire. This should work great with the Nexus.
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=199436
seen some nice cases for the N1, will they fit the desire or are there some buttons that wont align properly??
thanks
the gel cases with the red nexus one on the back (< £3) fit the desire. you can use the power and volume buttons through the case, everything else can be used if you line the holes up when you fit it.
thats the only one i've tried, but have now ordered one made for the desire to replace it.
thanks for the reply mate,
was looking at this:
http://www.ultra-case.com/product.php?pID=476
which is made by the same people as the gel cases..thought id ask first before spending around £15!!

I bought similar from ebay, but for a lot less than the one your looking at, shop around.
Only thing I experienced is that due to the Desire having a "chin" it stretches the case to make a very tight fit (hey it's silicone so it gives) and this only shows in that the power switch recess in the cover is slightly offset from the handset. Doesn't hamper anything though
@beaker656 you dont happen to have a link to the ebay one you bought do you??
thanks
ask and you shall receive

i noticed the second doesn't have speaker holes so not sure what it would be like and i was wondering has any1 tried it and how they thought how good or bad these case where? thanks in advance
not yet, but yes they do look really good.
we have sooo many choices for silicon style cases, that is a good thing
I have this one:
iTALKonline ProGel BLACK Super Hydro Gel Protective Armour
(look in amazon.co.uk, it seems I still can't post outside links)
I like it but the side buttons are a really hard to press. Almost impossible to adjust the volume with one hand while on the phone.
Now the first one you posted looks really nice. It seems to cover the side buttons as well but I like it.
http://mobile.brando.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-jelly-soft-plastic-case_p05570c1355d011.html
This one is great, I have a transparent one.
i've seen those on ebay, we have a link of that on the Case topic
Just don't buy these cheap case. Side buttons are not usable, it's just waste of money. It's better to add a 10£ extra and get a quality one.

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.

It's not a cutout for the powerbutton.
It's for the 3.5 headphonejack.

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!

little rant...
What really annoys me about this and many cases is the lack of thought around the camera on the back. They leave a slot for it on the back peice of the case which is great, but when you open it up to actually take a photo, you need to hold the case like an open book as there isnt a slot on the front peice. I dont intend on using the camera much but having to hold the front flap out of the way of the lens while trying to get composition, focus and release the shutter is a pain in the bum! If I could flip the front all the way round to the back and hold it flush with the back, that would be far more convenient.

+1!
What also bothers me a little is the slit in the front flap of the case... for US owners, it looks like a mistake since we don't have that speaker there. Other than that, very happy with the quality, low profile and details - rubber footings for landscape upright position, magnet to hold front flap as prop in "keyboard" mode. A little expensive but I did the round about with case buying with the tab 10.1 and ultimately liked the official book case most.
Cases are available at BestBuy and B&H.
Picked one up at Best Buy last night. Absolutely prefer this over the Moko i just got. Only thing missing compared to other cases is a loop for a larger stylus and it's not heavy enough where it needs a handstrap.
I don't care about a camera hole on the front flap (to take pictures when the flap is folded over) as rear camera on this is more vestigial to my tablet use.
I do have issues with trying to stand it up the tall way with the cover - it sometimes wont hold the stand form and flips the tablet down.
This may get easier as it breaks in. There is no clasp magnetic or otherwise that holds the screen cover closed so it will fly open at times.
The tablet is protected on 3 corners (except the one that holds the stylus, obviously), completely covers the plastic back except for camera hole and front flap is thin but should protect the screen well enough in a bag. I like the clean design and it does raise the "premium" feel of the tablet in hand by covering up all the plastic.
I think if you care about adding the least bulk to the unit while still having a means of protecting it a bit, I think it does well.
BTW, if you had the 7.7 and the OEM cover for that, this cover is almost exactly like it - except this front flap is even thinner than the one on that one and can fold to help it stand. The 7.7 form fitting case that Samsung made could only stand by reversing the case flap and it would always fall over.
I bought it from Best Buy as well, it's not my first choice of cases, but it's probably the best out there now. Just too expensive, but I need protection for this unit. I'm hoping Seidio makes a case but I don't think this tablet will sell that well. I hope I'm wrong but it's fairly expensive. I think it is worth it but I have terrible judgment and love electronics.

Just curious, what colors are people getting? I picked up a white one at BB, but thinking about exchanging it for the black...
Every portable device I've owned since my first Walkman, with the exception of my 3rd gen iPod in 2004, has been black, so the white device and matching white case is a welcome change for me.

I couldn't take it anymore and exchanged for the black, lol. The all-white look was burning my eyes.
Picked this up today and it's going back. I do like how thin it is, but I notice the cover has a habit of bowing just enough to wake up the tablet and it's just close enough that it keeps waking it up. Case would be fine without the sleep/wake feature. Anyone know of a good knockoff without the magnet?

You might like the STM Cape. It is a bit different, but appears to be very good quality, and it is less expensive and fairly light weight (judging by specs as I don't have one yet):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251888
I asked them and they confirmed it does not come with a magnet for wake/sleep. Personally that has disappointed me, but you provide a good example of where it can be a good thing to not have wake/sleep.
I've asked STM a few more questions that I'm waiting to hear back on, including what kind of padding is embedded in the front cover. Something that has concerned me about the official Samsung Book Cover is that the front cover seems so thin that I wonder how much protection it would really provide (particularly from any impact). The STM Cape appears to have some kind of stiff material (padding?) in between the outer layer and the soft inner lining. I'll post in the Cape thread whenever I hear back about that.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I don't mind thin. I never do anything that would damage a device like a phone or tablet anyway. Mostly I just want it for scratch protection since it could slide around in my briefcase and what-not.
I'm ordering this case from ebay. Looks more stable then samsung case.

It is cheap and looks slim and similar to the KLD one and it has a magnetic tab to keep it securely closed.
According to the description it supports "auto sleep and wake up when close and open" but I am not sure if I believe it. I can always open a dispute if it is not true

This does look like a winner. Not extremely please about the Samsung case, regarding the inability to stand it up or keep the flap closed.
If you ordered this let us know how it goes.
