Read all about the otter case in a review for the straight desire - the defender model it was.
I wasnt overly impressed.
So in light of this can yuo accessory experts point me what YOU think is the best usable (I.E. doesnt look like a tank or bomb shelter) case. I am thinking somethin silicon?
anyway, would really love ya expert opinions! I need to protect my phone - more frlom falls than anything else, am a fairly cluimsy 6'4'' so it has a long way to drop!

I made it yesterday to try and help people to decide what to get as a case for their HTC desire HD. I tried the HTC S550 pouch and 2 silicon cases. Didn't really know what I was going to say so I just started talking and showed my DHD a little with its accessories (still in love with it) but at the end I dropped my Desire HD on the floor luckily my appartment is all carpet

I bought the exact same gel case as you showed in the video (grey). I bought it from an ebaystore called Londonmagicstore. I paid 3gbp including shipping to sweden. Fast and reliable. As I don't have the DHD yet (is to be released next week in sweden) I hope it fits.

Helpfull video mate. I just ordered two silicon/gel cases from Ebay myself and they bought are coming with protective film for the screen. I am really looking forward to getting them as I am paranoid about damaging my new DHD.
Thx for the video - off to watch it now!
The best protective case by far, and the case I use on my HTC HD, Samsung Galaxy s and HTC desire, is the Pdair aluminium metal case.
http://www.pdair.com/
Unfortunately, for some strange reason, they don´t plan to make this case for HTC Dsire HD
If you are interested, drop the a mail and request that they make a aluminium case for the HTC Desire HD as well. [email protected]
Just thought I'd vouch for the eBay cases! Remember, they all come from the same factories in China, you're only paying extra for the branding 'SuperShield' 'MegaCase' etc. There are some exceptions but very few. I bought my case for £2.35 with a screen protector and it's perfect, a great fit and nice feel! I've never spent more than a couple of pounds on silicone/plastic cases or screen protectors and all of my phones remained in perfect condition months after I bought them. Will post links soon.
Regards.
Cannot see anyone being unhappy with this case..... £2.65 an absolute bargain.
eBay
Regards.
just bagged one of those from ebay - so thanks and yeah will feedback what I think of the case and protector!

£2.65? The price following that link is £29.65?
Edit: Strange, but found the cheap ones must of been a mistake!
just paid under 3 quid for it.

Now that is strange! When I click the link it says the seller has updated his listing and the price shows £29.65!!! I've emailed the seller to ask what is going on as it definitely was £2.65 this morning. Maybe the increased traffic spooked him .
Anyway just to reinforce my point regarding the branding of goods from the same Chinese source, here is CaseHut's listing for the ORB Gel Case..... look familiar?? £5.99 plus postage..... hmmmm!!
Anyway, the case fits well and gives good protection. All buttons are placed correctly and the camera lens, flash and charger port all have good access. Hope this shows that you can keep your expensive phone SAFE without breaking the bank.
Regards.
I received my silicone case I paid 2.95 for on eBay today and the quality is great the fit is perfect and it doesn't make the phone too bulky. Another thing is the case makes pressing the power and volume buttons a lot easier
So overall I am delighted with the case.

metal case here for 15 smackeroons...sems ok. anyone bought this one? Any good?
I guess the seller hopes that someone actually buys it without noticing the high price. He must know that others recommend this product, and well, sneakily tries to make huge profit....

Guys do any of you know how to select/buy the leather case showed in this page?( at the bottom of the page-->accessories)
http://www.omnia7.samsungmobile.com/
No, but I had the same question, just look a few threads under yours.
There should be handsets that have roughly the same measurements. Cases for these could be a workaround until something perfect is released. Problem is, I don't know how to efficiently find out which ones would fit. If somebody with a bit of spare time could find out, that would be great.

That case is an optional boxed accessory that networks/resellers can choose to offer their customers - and not something being sold (yet, at least) separately to customers. At least that's what Samsung UK told me when I asked.
i've seen some over at mobilefun.codotuk, including silicone covers and what i think is some sort of hard gel...anti shock cases... and the leather one you speak of.

Hi any updates? I should be recieving my omnia 7 soon and want to get a decent case/screen protector as well.
Cheers
oh well, I ended up ordering that silicon case. I am also going to get some screen protectors/films just in case.
Sorry...sorry sorry... totally forgot lol, Will upload now. Going to go take some pics downstairs in good light.
Long post of Pics for anyone wondering what the Omnia 7 black silicone case looks like on the phone as not many suppliers seem to have pics on the ads yet. *when i bought it anyway* - Yes mine has a screen protector I think it looks fine with the case as you cannot see the edges on the glass much apart from two pics which show the holes around the windows button and the ear piece / sensors.
*4th pic down if you zoom in shows what the screen protector does as already my phones been across a few of the slate tiles in the kitchen*
I think I found the perfect 3rd-party case for the phone The 'Valente Leather Pocket 15'. It's still a little tight (not too tight) but I reckon it will loosen up in a few days as it is genuine leather... so the fit will be great!
Bought it for €15,- @ a retailer called the Phonehouse in the Netherlands.
also available online at: pdashop.nl/product/108532/
images below (note: although the phone doesn't stick out as much as in pic 1 when you push it as far as possible into the case, the corners do stick out just 1mm. so that's only a real concern when you drop it head-down)
Nice,
Found a few for
£3.99 + free p&p

Just ordered it the first one, so hoping it fits the phone with the silicone, If not, Extra one for when i get the missus one of these phones.... *sigh*
I have already used up 4 of the 6 screen protectors provided and still can't get it to set without any bubbles. Any tips would be welcome.
Hi Everyone,
Just got myself a nice unlocked and unbranded Desire Z (UK) at the weekend. I remember reading that the original G1 pouch is a good fit for the Desire Z, but I seem to have misplaced mine. Is there anywhere I can get an official one cheap, or has anyone come across any nice alternatives that are similar?
I remember liking the neoprene outer and soft liner of the OEM G1 pouch, it's a shame HTC aren't shipping them with this phone.
Ebay has a ton of them for like 6 bucks, that's where I got mine for my G2

Is it decent quality though? And do you have a link to the listing?
I don't have a link on me but its the same pouch that the G1. Its the exact official pouch
Oh ok, well I am going to have a better look for mine tonight. If not I will find one on ebay.

Just do a search for oem g1 pouch
The neoprene cases by BUILT are another option you may want to consider if you can afford to pay a bit more. They're extremely well crafted (good materials and stitching) and are a perfect fit... builtny.com

The only problem with that is, I live in the UK, and I don't want to pay for ridiculous shipping costs just for a pouch.
I have ordered a cheap knock off from ebay and will see how good quality that is, if it's rubbish I will look for a better one, maybe get the one you suggest.

I already ordered it before you posted your link, but thanks anyway, I will probably get one of those if this is crap.
Ok let me know if you can't get the oem let me know, I'm in the states but shipping something that small shouldn't be that expensive to ship to the uk.
Yeah, it should be cheap, but it's still going to be more than one from the UK. Doesn't matter anyway, i guess no one else has any pouch recommendations.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
Has anyone seen the tmobile one for the mytouch 4g? Its leather but not bulky and has a cut out slot at the bottom I'm guessing to see the track pad flashing.. I'm using my g1 one sometimes and a sidekick one other times..seems like that one would be the best of both worlds if it fits
Might be a bit late, but if the pouch you got turned out to be crap then I highly recommend (what I think is) the official Desire Z case found at clove.co.uk http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-desire-z-po-s540-pouch-case It's a leather pouch, with a lining similar to that used in the creen sleaning cloths (so cleans you're screen when you put it in/take it out!) It's a very snug fit, excellent quality and has the HTC logo pressed on it, so I assume it's genuine. It also comes with a tab you pull to take the phone out as it's a very secure fit. I can't speak more highly of a case for a phone than this! Even if you already have one, I still recommend you check it out, it's a uk website and only £9
EDIT: £10.80 inc VAT, possibly also p+p fees.
look for a krussel pouch, its thick real leather... very nice, i have one, its around £10, off ebay. hope this helps

They're trying to tap-dance around the fact that they're expecting a Quid Pro Quo (a free case in exchange for a favorable review):
They're giving you money instead of the case,so they can technically say it's not,as you're buying it with your own money.
Yes,you're under no obligation to post a rating of any sort.
But,what they're buying from you is for the review to be listed as a "Verified Purchase",giving the appearance of an unsolicited/no-strings review.
If I were you,I'd report what they're doing to Amazon.
Show Amazon the correspondence you've received.
Yeah,you'll be out of a "free" case,but,JMHO,it's a small price to pay to help keep the reviews honest & legitimate.

Have it and ita good not bulky too
I actually own 3 of these cases. I was just doing research on maybe getting an S10 for my wife, and the first thing I checked was if ArmadiloTek was going to make a case or not. While looking up info, I realized I never left a review on Amazon. Obviously, if I bought 3 of them, I like them, but people don't get to see my purchase history, so they wouldn't know I'm a fan. I just uploaded this review on Amazon.
BTW - For the price, I think it's hard to beat. Also, if they offer a free case to someone hoping for a review, they are also taking the chance that someone who's not willing to spend $20 for a case is also the type to bash them online for silly things. Unless they are actually soliciting a "Positive" review, giving away a product and asking for a review is pretty normal. Especially for a new company. I've been to plenty of restaurants and bars that offer instant coupons if you go online and right a review, or they give you something free for filling out a survey.
************************** My Amazon Review **************************
Now I can write a real review after actually using this case, everyday, for more that 4 months. I bought 3 Note9's in September because they were so cheap. I also bought 3 different cases. All 3 cases had built-in screen protectors.
Immediately after getting the cases and comparing them, I ordered another ArmadiloTek case for my 11 year old son's Note9. That was the phone I was most concerned about having protected.
About 1 month later, I had to order another ArmadiloTek, because my mom wanted a stronger case and a kickstand.
In total, I've purchased 3 of these cases in different colors. They are awesome! I've dropped my phone a few times, and I'm sure my son has dropped his plenty. He rides his scooter w/ a Note9 hanging halfway out of his pocket. None of the phones or cases have any damage.
This is definitely my go to case from now on. Not as bulky as other rugged cases, better price, and they work amazing.
I hope they continue to grow, so they can offer more covers for other phones. My wife choose a S9 because she didn't want a large phone. Her case cracked the first time it fell and the case is all scratched up, because it's not an ArmadiloTek case.
I got one of these today and have a question for people who have one.
is the screen protector on yours TIGHT against your phone display cause mine isnt. when I tap the screen I can see and hear the plastic protector hit the screen.
Is this normal or do I have a defective one? (and yes, the peel offs are removed)

It's normal unfortunately. Any device that has a built in plastic screen protector will do that unless you find a way to have the device firmly and stiffly up against the front if the case. You can try filling behind the device with small flat sheets of paper cut out to match the device shape on the back. Adding a rear glass protector may help. Just not sure how much it would though.

wow, are they still open for free case review?
I have used a Pitaka case in the past on my Note 10+, and the experience was pleasant. It was a little rough around the edges/cutouts but it wasn't so bad. So I decided to order one for my 8 Pro as well. Given the pandemic, shipping hasn't happened despite ordering 4-5 days ago, and I'm considering the Latercase as a result.
Pros of the Pitaka is that it has the ability to connect magnetically to car mounts and what not, but that's about it (vs the Latercase at least). But I'm about to order the Latercase to check it out.
Has anyone had experience with the Latercase? Are they shipping quicker? Any qc issues?
I appreciate any input!
I ended up ordering both too, I'm in the UK still waiting on latercase after 10 days of getting my shipment notice. I chalk it down the covid situation because last time I ordered my latercase for my pixel 4 XL it was super fast and smooth. They can't do much since it's been stuck with DHL and has said "processed at origin".
Pitaka case just arrived yesterday and I have it on the phone.
I'm very happy with the pitaka, it's exactly what I expected, I've had one before on my pixel 2. It's fit and finish is great and the cutouts are perfect. It has a nice lip over the camera too, so you don't need to worry about placing the phone down and damaging the camera.
But since we are talking minimalist cases here, unless you need the magnetic features... I'm going to guess the latercase is what I'll stick with... Since the pitaka is slightly thicker at 0.85 where as the latercase is only 0.6, probably due to not having any magnets inside.
In addition... If the latercase is how it is pictured on the website... It has more precise cutout holes (around the flash module and autofocus) none of the phones colour is shown... On the pitaka I can see the phones colour because the cutouts are slightly too big. You can also see the phones colour show on the front and sides, which doesn't bother me in any way... I wonder how the latercase compares.
I will post an update once my latercase arrives, hopefully soon! I pre-ordered it 6 weeks ago!

I chalk it down the covid situation because last time I ordered my latercase for my pixel 4 XL it was super fast and smooth. They can't do much since it's been stuck with DHL and has said "processed at origin".
Pitaka case just arrived yesterday and I have it on the phone.
I'm very happy with the pitaka, it's exactly what I expected, I've had one before on my pixel 2. It's fit and finish is great and the cutouts are perfect. It has a nice lip over the camera too, so you don't need to worry about placing the phone down and damaging the camera.
But since we are talking minimalist cases here, unless you need the magnetic features... I'm going to guess the latercase is what I'll stick with... Since the pitaka is slightly thicker at 0.85 where as the latercase is only 0.6, probably due to not having any magnets inside.
In addition... If the latercase is how it is pictured on the website... It has more precise cutout holes (around the flash module and autofocus) none of the phones colour is shown... On the pitaka I can see the phones colour because the cutouts are slightly too big. You can also see the phones colour show on the front and sides, which doesn't bother me in any way... I wonder how the latercase compares.
I will post an update once my latercase arrives, hopefully soon! I pre-ordered it 6 weeks ago!

Please add some pictures of both cases on your phone
How about Air Case from Pitaka?
I'm using the mag case from Pitaka, really enjoy it. I heard about the Latercase but never used it.
Talking about minimalist cases, there's another case from Pitaka that looks minimalist, and it has no magnetic feature. It's called the Air Case. It looks better than the mag case from the picture on the site.
Has anyone had experience with that?
I recieved my latercase around a week ago. Very happy with the product and the shipping (Im Norwegian)
both of these are not designed for drop protection so its a shame

My pre order still has not arrived in the Netherlands. Good to see you are happy with it, makes the waiting worth while...
I would love to use either of the cases but until they close up the buttons and cover those along with the top and bottom on the devices they won't be a fit for me.
I like minimalistic cases like these but want every side, button, etc covered. It's 100% possible as mnml has cases like that and so do other 3rd parties cases.
If and when they do that, then I'll buy. Just feedback. Not meaning to complain.

Using the fathers days' 15 % promotion makes it £34 from pitaka. Quite a margin vs amazon.
I got both cases... Just received the Pitaka today and have been using the Later case for 2 weeks now.. by looks, both are identical.. by feel I like the Pitaka more, you can feel the metirials in the case better than the Later case... also for some reason the camera ridge is a bit higher which will give the cameras slightly extra protection... Also the later case is thinner, I guess the Pitaka has the metal liners inside the case so it feel more sturdier...
Let me know if you like to see pics of both on and off the device...

Jesus, I don't know why I didn't think to check Amazon first.
I ordered off Pitaka's website at a small discount well over a week ago and have a feeling I'll be waiting a while for the case to get here. Amazon over here has the case at full price but it'll be delivered in 2 days, that's just silly. I have half a mind to buy it and return it when the original one comes.
For anyone wondering about the Later Case, mine just arrived today, I also have one on my S20 Ultra, highly recommend, the quality and feel is absolutely spot on.......?
Those who already received the Pitaka: does the wireless charging work as promised?
Following the thread and looking forward to someone with both cases do a side by side comparison
Never buy latercase, it's a rip off of Pitaka, they even sued them. Shameful........but that's MHO.

While I'm no big fan of Lew or Latercase, the fact that it's a rip off of a Pitaka case has been rather disbursed. Yes, they are quintessentially the same in terms of looks - but they aren't identical. There's a different feel to each one and a different build quality. It's not like Lew is literally ordering his case exactly where Pitaka gets theirs from and just brands it as a "Latercase". He uses a different carbon fiber weave, his cases have a different texture/feel, and they also don't possess the magnet that's built into the case.
I have no allegiances with either company, but the Pitaka just makes sense for me because their case has the magnet that allows me to just throw the phone on the magnetic mount on my car. I'm hoping the OnePlus Warp wireless charger works with the case is all, since that's how I primarily charge the phone.
At this point I'm frustrated with the wait time with the Pitaka case. I ordered it on June 5th and it probably won't be here for at least another 4-5 days. I could've just ordered it off Amazon and got it way sooner.
How's the shipping for the Latercase looking?

Well, without the phone the case does not make sense.

I hope you have better luck with your order than I am. I ordered on the 1st. Last update was on the 6th. Emailed 3 times and finally got a canned reply yesterday stating my order had been handed off to the carrier and it wasn't their problem.
