Do you know any good one?
i managed to get a nexus case for this, but it doesnt protect from scratch if it fell...so i would like a hard case !
i had an iphone for over a year it was brand new after all that time because of a hard case + screen protector
and a good screen protector too
i bought some cheap crap at ebay its horrible (like 1€ each)

Is the Aluminium case really that good? It looks like it has a hinge on one side..?

What about this crystal case?

I'll wait and see what they say, i explained why i wanted a refund so will see.
Sent three requests that the order be cancelled which were obviously ignored as i have now received an out of stock email...
They emailled me last night to say that these cases are definitely for the Desire but they didnt have a stock photo, and that stock will be arriving around the 5th of May - its been delayed for obvious reasons.
yes, I got a mail saying out till the 2nd May. Argh.

But the photo is not a HTC desire!
I got told out of stock till May 3rd. But definitely Desire specific (not Google Nexus desipte the picture not updated yet).
I had one of the crystal cases turn up in the post today from whitefeatherderby on eBay. Pretty pleased with it though I am bothered how slippery it will be on tables, etc. I also have one coming from Hong Kong too but realised after I ordered it that it's a purple one...

How about this one made specifically for the Desire:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Black-Rubber-...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item4aa0bc10c5
Has anyone bought of these covers ?
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Red-Aluminiu...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3a65093ac4
If yes, do they fit well on the phone ? and do they protect it well ?
no but nice!!!
i send them a message and asked what it was made of, and they said plastic and aluminium.
I think i'll buy one.... or 2
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2X-Aluminium...ccessories&hash=item3a64d5657e#ht_2274wt_1141
Wow looking nice, better than the cases i have at the moment.
May interfere with GPS signal?
the antenna is in the bottom section of the phone, so i'd think that having a metal back wouldn't make a difference.
I think i'm gonna buy one, so i'll tell everyone how it is once it arrives

I think the GPS antenna is by the flash unit, so the case may interfere with the signal.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
owell, i'll give it a try and see if that happens

what i recommend is the the gel cases. they are well protected and fit well over my DHD. also very cheap. £1 a case from http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-HYDRO-Gel...asesPouches&hash=item20b6844739#ht_4492wt_907

I've already got a silicone case, and i've ordered 2 of the cases i linked to.
Thanks anyway though, i might get one of those sometime in the future.
i'm always changing the case im using so having more than one isn't a problem.
Also are there any videos of that case in action ?
save your money - i bought a black one and it was rubbish
getting it on was very stiff, you had to push the on button on the top much harder than normal and after a few days the aluminium unstuck from the plastic and i thre the whole lot away...

Hopefully i have a better experience than you did, if not it didn't cost that much so i'll learn to wait for other people's experiences before i buy anything else

You're talking about the aluminium one right? I bought the silicone one, seems better
My Desire HD arrives in the morning, so I've just ordered a 99p silicone jobby off ebay - really not expecting much for 99p, but it should keep it nice while I do some research into the perfect case!!
I've had a hero and it's had a silicone case on it for the last 18 months - it looks pretty much like new. So who knows, maybe 99p will be enough of an investment!

The 99p/$1AUD aren't really that bad.
I bought one for my DHD when i got it in december and it's been on it ever since, it fits perfects and has protected my phone since i put it on
i have a silicon case for mine and use it when im at work, remember the phone is an aluminium shell and a screen so its pretty well protected, i use a case to protect from scratching my pretty chocolate coloured phone
http://theglass-m.com/
Ordered from here and received yesterday. Shipping was very fast and has a cut out for proximity sensor and back camera. Apparently its gorilla glass and fits great. Has a nice anti finger print coating. I have been searching for a glass back protector and finally found one. I can post pics if people want but the price is great and fit is also good.
Is it just me or that website look dodgy to say the least...
http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0252/5983/products/07_1_1024x1024.jpg?568 <--- is there the "Sony" logo?
How much it's thickness?
if you put the glass on both side, is it can fit the docking ?

Yep thought the same thing, but since it had paypal I said I'm covered so what the hell. To my surprise it was delivered in three days lol.
As for the docking station I have not has any issues with mine but it is the ten dollar one off ebay. It doesnt say the thickness but my uess would be 4mm

You could put it over the asf, I did it with another brand glass protector. Just makes sure it clean and dust free. These one came with a big sticker to remove any dust.
Can you please put a Picture of the Phone in a way we can see how much the glass is in thickness compared to the Phone looking Just at the sides?
How abt scratches and fingerprints ?
I found this http://www.evolutivelabs.com/
Seems a bit better, also funded from kickstarter so kinda trustable.

I have had rhino shield on my nexus 4 and nexus 7 also for my xperia z. The first generation where not very good. They scratched easily and also got dented easily. On my nexus they didn't cover much of the screen and on my xperia the one they sent had issue with the back protector. I have ordered the second generation since they were giving the people who backed them on kick starter free second gen ones. I have not received them yet so cannot comment on them as of now.
These have been very good so far they are apparently made of gorilla glass so they are scratch resistant and have anti finger print coating. The best I have used so far. These are 9H and rihino shields are I beleive 5H.

Thank you, they seem quite thin from the pictures. While we can notice it's there, it's actualy quite OK in therms of thickness.
It's a case that the pros outweight the cons by a large margin.
Ordered now.
Let see how it perform compared to my old SGP one.

Do you have the sony dock or the knock one. I had to take out the spring loaded tabs to get mine to work properly it would charge but a slight knock on my night stand would sometimes stop it from charging.

Cons:
-There is no hole for a lanyard (rope thing)
-Capacitive Touch Buttons are a little awkward to press, but you get used to it.
-Speaker calls are pretty bad and you sound like you are in a tunnel, but normal calls (no speaker) sounds good
-The headphone jack cover is a flimsy rubber piece that can scare you but it does indeed work so its just a con because it causes fear.
Thats all that i have encountered and really they arent bad.
I currently have it on my phone right now and even went to the pool yesterday for a swim.

I feel like it really doesn't matter. The quality of screen protect that comes with the Otterbox is great. The nuud also has an optional screen protector which I don't use but might start because my screen is getting scratches.

Okay cool, make sure you report back with some pictures and stuff cause I also wanted the Otterbox but chose this one instead since my best buy didn't have any Otterbox preservers
i think for the price of the otterbox the seidio obex is better
Hi,
Currently I'm using Seidio Obex with holster and it is pretty good case. It is really waterproof case (I've check it ), and screen protect is amazing.
But there is couple things which are not so good, first of all sound is a bit muffled and second thing is that some ppl will complain about it size, but for me it isn't so important.
As a conclusion, I can only say that, for me personally it was really good purchase and I'm looking to buy additional car mount to holster. :laugh:
I have the nuud and its the best case I've bought. It comes with an optional scratch guard also in case you want to protect your screen without an annoying built in screen protector.

pro:
- compect (slightly thiker than the commuter but i dont fill the difrance)
- the screen protector is great you can't fill it and it's doesnt affect the qulety
- you can access the port's with no problem
con:
- you can put large headphone jeck
- the buttom are harder to press
if you have qution fell free to ask!
Lifeproof fre all the way..had the nuud and had to get a new phone the same day i used it..love the fre. Had it on my s3, now my s4 and my wifes s5. Daughter has the pink one too

Because the fact that the rear is not obscured in 100% after some time the sun create strange marks on the phone :/
