Leather Case

Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone knows if this phone will ship with a leather case? The only other HTC phones I've had are the Touch Diamond and the Touch Pro 2, both shipped with cases, so I'm feeling hopeful. Just wondered if anyone knew for sure?

Well the g2 hasn't from the looks of it so I doubt it. My hero didn't come with one a year ago either.

From a description I read previously, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. But, then again, I'm pretty sure in the description, it said it came with an 8gb card, and another member said he was told it didn't come with a card!
However, since you can buy a leather slip case seperately for this, I'm gonna go ahead and say that it won't come with a leather case...

Every HTC device that I've ever bought has shipped with a leather case.. so.. I think yes... but we'll see.

I just got mine today and sadly it does not come with a leather case.

But does come with 8GB class 2, which I changed it asap with my 8GB Class 6 lol

@Orite
You're talking of TMobile G2, not HTC Desire Z
They're the same phone, but we can never be sure if it's coming with the same accessories!
I'm waiting for my Desire Z...when it'll come to me I'll update you on the included accessories ^^

Well' I don't worry so much about phone case, I have order a quality case from Ebay

Having kept my Raphael (touch pro) and the case it was shipped with as a pair permenantly for the last 2 years I would hope it does come with a case......the desire didnt afaik.
Ive spotted a fairly tidy looking official HTC case here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-desire-z-pouch-po-s540-p26020.htm

this policy seems to have changed more recently, I used to get one with htc phones up till the magic, but then hero, legend and desire all didn't come with a case

Hi,
When I've ordered the HD2, the case arrived in the box as well.
A month later I have ordered a Touch2 for my friend and there was no case in the box.
So ... we will see what is in the box when it arrives, hope there will be no difference in accessories between countries where the phone will be delivered.

If htc cheaps out of a leather case for the Desire Z, the G2 forums are reporting that the original G1 case, easily found on eBay for cheap, fits the G2 perfectly.

I have owned a Hero and a Desire (Bravo) and neither of those came with a case of any sort.

This one looks good making use of the flip out keyboard without taking it out of the case:

Just the case I ordered one week ago. Free shipping worldwide

Interesting. Not sure how much that plastic over the keys would annoy me, though. I almost think I'd rather have a slip pouch that I'd have to remove the phone from each time than type through plastic. I dunno, I really did have my heart set on something I'd be able to type on while still in the pouch.

not a huge fan of leather cases tbh..seems to add a lot of perceived bulk to the phone. a clear crystal case would be fine i think..but at the moment, not many options! guess i'll just have to take extra care when i get my phone in 2 days! =D

In my opinion Noreve has the best leather cases. These case's have a stable metal frame inside the stitch edges.

Just had a look and yes, their cases look great. Could only see a pouch style case for the DZ, though. Went ahead and sent them an e-mail asking if they planned to develop a flip style case and I received this back...
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your email.
This case is under production. We will launch it in less than 1/2 weeks. http://www.noreve.com/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_Desire_Z_Tradition.html
We will inform you as soon as we launch it on-line.
Thank you for your interest in our brand.
My best regards,

Really looking forward to this if they make it right.

Finally! Brodit holder available soon :)

Brodit.com
Could do with an active one, but passive will do for now

Seems like ages from announcement to going on sale, but I finally got it today from mobilefun.co.uk and have just fitted it in the car.
Usual Brodit quality, and a fit like a glove perfect fit. Well pleased

they also have a active loader, look:

The active with cig-plug looks great:

but how do you actually buy the thing?

I got my passive one from www.mobilefun.co.uk
Had an active one with my desire, top quality kit.
Sent from my HTC One S

Looking forward to this mount, looks great. Just waiting for it to be in stock.

Got the Active Holder for my wife's One S and I'm very disappointed with the usb fit, not quite aligned and it takes a bit of coaxing to get the phone connected.
I've got the active holder for my HTC HD2 and that was perfect slide in and fit, but the Active holder for the One S is not good in my opinion.

I still use the Brodit one designed to work with the mytouch 4g (back when I had one). It fits my Sensation.. my Amaze... and now my One S just fine! LOL

I yesterday received my brodit htc one S active charger with cig.
As it seems now, the powerconnector is not aligned to the phone correctly. I need to pull the phone towards me for approximately 1 mm to be able to slide the phone in place.
I am a bit unhappy with it. I contacted brodit about it and asked them what they advice me to do. Send it back as DOA or let me execute a trick/fix of somesort.. whatever..
Ill let you know what comes out of it.
Regards.

Got my brodit holder today, it takes a long time to get the usb to line up. Is there something inherently wrong with our phones usb port? Something to do with the unibody frame? I'm thinking of returning it, because it's not convenient to have to spend 3 minutes lining up the phone perfectly to fit in the charger.

Especially when you spend at least $60 dollars for it !!! LOL

Heat Gun on Brodit
I used a heat gun on my Brodit holder for the Nexus-S and it now fits my HTC One S w/case perfectly

Sounds interesting, do you have pictures of it?

Who used the HTC HC-C740 hardcase in combination with the Brodit active holder? And did it fit?

I can confirm the Brodit holder in combination with the HTC HC-C740 hardcase does fit, but not very easy. Also without the case the Brodit holder doesn't work nicely. I will return it and look for an alternative..

Does the active holder automatically enable car mode like the HTC official car dock?

that indeed looks nice!

Just to give you all an update with my active brodit experience.
I had the 'not perfectly lined out power connector" issue, like some others said.
Now, it seems to be getting better and better. I get the feel there is some rubber badding around the connector which is memorizing the correct position more and more.
It is probably not SUCH a big fuzz for most people I guess. Im getting used to it.
Even when its dark I have the One S in place with one hand. Takes me up to 5 seconds.
So, Now after a while, I can say Im pretty happy with it.
Regards.

Thing is, Brodit holders that I owned until now are 100% perfect. This one isn't. I returned it yesterday because it just didn't did the job and I paid almost 50 euros for it. I would expect a better product, just like I was used to...

Slip Case

I should be getting my S3 Mini tomorrow!
Yet I haven't been able to find any slip cases.
I'm used to my HTC slip case, no annoying pull cord to get the fone out with - don't see the point of them!
The Original Samsung Flip cases seem OK, but don't want the case to be attached to my phone. I like to be able to have it in a pouch in my pocket etc.
Anyone seen or have a decent slip case/pouch?

Got the S3M today, and thankfully it just fits in my Desire S case!

Wallet/Card Cases?

Hi all,
Was wondering if there are any decent cases I can get for my N4. It's getting a lot more difficult to get a case now, I've got a plain TPU one but I'd love to store some cards and maybe a bit of money with my phone.
Does anyone know where I can get a Nexus 4 Fancy Diary case in Navy/Lime? I found one in Pink and frankly that's not really my colour haha. Plus all the other wallet style cases are really ugly (I searched eBay). Fancy Diary case looks like this.
Alternatively I wouldn't mind a case with some card slots in the back. Does anyone know if this affects NFC capability? I would put one card in my TPU case, but I hear that it always sets off the NFC chip. I use Beam semi-frequently (~once a week). Examples of the card slot case are: this one, another one and this one. I don't mind the extra bulk if it means I don't have to carry my wallet with me all the time! I particularly like the look of that third one, although I'm not sure how stable it is with keeping the partition closed.
I'm based in Australia, so online retailers will have to ship here!
Thanks all.

I was looking for the same thing as well. There is this if you are ready to spend $30: http://www.shapeways.com/model/914960/nexus-4-credit-card-case.html
To me, I took the inspiration from CardNinja and decided to DIY and the end result looks like attachment.
It's part from my failing Poetic case, I retained the hard case and cut out the pouch. Super glue it and voila.
The hole you see at the bottom left is no accident. I cut it out for back speaker only for credit cards to block it...
Sadly, I don't think it's going to last very long. But while it works I can report that it feels immensely better than having to flip open the Poetic cover for every usage. The portability is excellent and the phone gets protected.
I have to concede that this is one of the advantages of iPhone. Nexus 5 doesn't have a case like we want either.

Mous case compatible magent vent clip

Hello everyone! This is my first post here as I couldnt seem to find an introduction section like most other forums. Anyways to the point, probably two months ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy S10e "refurbished" off amazon and the things amazing, I love it. I bought a Mous Case on black friday for it and that's also great anyways I was wondering if you guys know of any good magnetic vent clips for cars that would be compatable with my phone so I dont have to spend $49.99 for the Mous brand one, $50 bucks is just stupid. I was looking at the PITAKA and Vicseed one on amazon but I just dont know if it will work! Theres also magnetic ones that you stick a magnet to the back of your case and it works but I dont know if the magnets already installed will interfere?! Just let me know what you think thanks so much everyone!
