Am I the only one who finds it very distracting that the diamond tilts when lying on a flat surface when you're operating it?
I wonder which devil designed that back cover...
Are there flat replacements available?
the xda version got a nice flat backcover with a slip-proof surface. i like this one more than the original bling bling high gloss cover...
nice that your xda has a better cover, but where can we buy new covers......
Hmm... is there any well know company producing such stuff, so we know where to look?
My wish: a back cover like the O2 one (not glossy), but with an extra camera protection, e.g.: simply a retractable black piece of plastic would be enough.

Check that out - they've listed it as a Diamond battery cover but the location of where the camera lens cover is, looks to be more like a battery cover release button. Hopefully there are flat covers coming out from HTC.
Thanks! I think it's the correct one.
N.B. The product image is for illustration only, not the actual bettery cover.

Damn.. I guess still no flat back battery covers then.
Can any one who owns an XDA Diamond (the one from o2) tell me, if the see through lens cover on the flat back still lessens the quality of the camera pics, or if this has changed in comparisson to the prism version?

I lost the back cover to my O2 XDAII a few years ago. I went to an O2 shop to see if I could buy one and they gave me one for free! As the display dummies have their back covers removed and an anti theft sticky pad on string attached. Maybe worth going to your local O2 store and seeing if they will give you the flat cover.
Hmm, I don't really know where to put this post and I didn't feel like my question justified a new thread. Is it possible to pop the piece of plastic, on the back of the diamond, "protecting" the camera lens, out? That should raise the quality of the camera snapshots by a nice margin.

sure it is possible and sure it will improved camera quality, but you will have some more dust getting into your device whitch would be the reason for me not to do so and but often clean the cam-protection.

To the dust issue: I'm planning on putting a thin and perfectly fitting round seal, normally used for screws, between the cover and the device
browser issue; can a mod please delete this

well- but then you run the danger of hurting the qualtiy cover inside the phone (the glass cover on top of the camera).
nevertheless: best would be to have a shutter - hopfully any company release a solution - soon!!!
Anyone found MDA style back cover?
Yes I too hate the shinny, wonky, non symetrical, dirt attracting back cover.
Has anyone seen the MDA (XDA) style rubberised back cover for sale? Assuming it fits of course.

mda compact iv has rounded corners, the diamond is square so cannot be interchanged.

Ive asked in separate thread about possibility how to customize plastic back cover. My idea was to either airbrush backcover with standard black or use special ruberized layer. But I dont know how to make that kind of layer I guess Ill have to google to find some option

Just Got A Cheap Silicon Case Of Ebay
looks ok to me.....atleast it can't slip out my hand now
and it should bonce beter
I was a bit bored of the usual silicone/hybrid/hard cases on the market coz it just made the handset look bulky, so I decided to give these skins a try.
See what you think
New design: assassin's creed 05/08/11....was rendered by me in photoshop and put on a template provided
Looks good. I'm just waiting for my carbon fibre skin to arrive in the post.

maybe http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/HTC_Desire_HD ?
I tried gelaskins i didnt like them, they don't provide skins for the front and it started peeling off after a few times in and out of my pocket
i got mine from http://www.diabloskinz.com/index.asp
Whats the carbon ones like? id be up for trying on of those
Normally i'd leave those sort of cases for my iPod, but that actually looks pretty decent...
the touch sensitive buttons work through the skin (dunno how obvious that is) and i love the fact the wallpaper matches it
yea wallpaper matching it is cool
Very nice i think i will buy me one too

Hi,
i'm using a mumbi Silicon Case, looks not even half as good.
make no mistake a silicone case will protect it much better than this, but it makes the phone look bulky than it already is...as if it needed extra thickness (+ i got insurance so if it breaks i'm not worried)
Nice Skin dude
I myself use gelaskin; I wanted a custom design and I only wanted the back to look different, and a clean front so people can see its a HTC . but since i have no insurance i do use a transparent TPU case over it . I am content with the gelaskin so far .
you can get hold of custom designs from diabloskinz. + where does it say htc on the front =p
the front is what i wanted coz of the matching wallpaper + its cheaper than gelaskin
I emailed them a couple of weeks ago asking if and when will they put out some skins for the G5. I got a reply a few days later saying they are definitely planning to support the G5 but that there were "a couple of other more in-demand devices taking priority at the moment". I don't know what those could have been. Both Samsung devices were already out and the HTC 10 wasn't even announced yet... Anyway, they're finally here for the G5!!
Nice... Debating getting one with a black leather back with the Yellow camera and back accent pieces.
i only want to cover up the LG logo, so it will be much cheaper for me
Sorry to revive this old thread. Does anyone know if cam plus still fit with dbrans skin on?

Been using it fine with a thinner wood dBrand skin. Not sure if presumably thicker ones like Dragon skin would work.
You'll notice the top lip of the cam plus may slightly rest above back of the phone as it is angled up and away by the extra thickness. However it stays firm in place still during use, can't feel the difference.

Thank you so much! Your wood skin looks really nice!
FYI bought a carbon fiber look Sopiguard skin on eBay but the 360 camera wont boot up with the skin on.
At least it was only $6.
I have the same skin applied and the 360 camera is working fine. Did you double check the pins they appear to be spring loaded and maybe not sticking out far enough or they are stuck.
Either way I hope you get it to work but the same setup works fine on my device.

Mine also worked with the skin installed.
Peel the skin back camera works, put the skin back camera doesnt operate, light on the camera stays blue, never turns green.
Might as well get a case if its going to be like that.
Wonder if I should contact essential, the phone gets warm real quick with the 360 on it only seconds.
If this becomes an issue, couldn't you attempt to extend/thicken the contacts from under the skin using foil? Of course, don't connect the pins together. Use a separate piece of foil for each pin. Not sure if it would offer enough of a connection, though.

Same here. The blue light is up but the cam app doesn't launch. Essential support was informed.
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the only case available.
I figured if I have to peel the skin back to use the camera I might as well have a case on it.

You could always notch the skin?
I applied the Skinomi carbon fiber, tested several times with the 360cam. No issues.
Yup can confirm camera does not boot past blue with a dbrand dragon skin. Bummer. Thinking I am going to cut out an outline for camera on the skin.
Looks like this may be a random issue.
Some have the issue, some dont.
I'm guessing maybe the two posts on some 360 cameras dont stick out quite as far ?
This depends on the thickness of the rear cover. If the camera's pins are not pressed, it does not work.
I have the black titanium skin and the camera only fully connects and fires up the camera up maybe 1 in 10 times. It's not a big deal as I doubt I'll ever actually use the camera. Mainly only got it because it was $50 and I thought of it as an investment in my resale value.
Maybe try rebooting your phone? My camera would do this sometimes before applying my dBrand and rebooting would fix it..

Tried that.
Only way to get it to work is peel the skin back.
So I bought one of the Viva Madrid America cases.
I figured if I cant use it with protection I might as well get a case.
My guess is some cameras have slightly shorter contact posts, although its just a guess, I may be the most technically challenged person in here....
I ordered the sopiguard in oak camera works fine.

I received the dragon skin day before yesterday and I shoot some 360 pictures and videos with 360 camera this morning, and everything is working okay. Camera is working like is supposed to.

I got a skin from I can't remember it was a wood oak one, skinomi? It was on amazon. THe 360 camera still works.
I think it depends on what kind of skin it is. Some skins like the brushed metal kinds actually do have metal in them so they will interfere. The other 3m dinoc also tend to be a bit thicker and might not allow proper pin connection.
Push comes to shove you can easily trace the camera, and then cut it with an exacto knife or a razor blade. If your hand is steady enough you can do it on the phone. If not the skins are reusable. Just make sure to yank on them instead of pull up slowly. I know it's counter intuitive, but that's how these materials work. I've been using them for nearly two decades now.
I have dbrand camo skin so i want to use my device without case but i have concern about protecting camera so any suggest camera guard for one plus 6
What do you mean 'guard'? Are you not using the camera skin which came with your dbrand? Or do you want additional protection for the camera that you are choosing not to use on the phone itself? If latter I cant think of the logic behind that or a solution I am afraid.
Dbrand has a camera skin, also you can search for a camera tempered glass protector on Amazon or AliExpress
There is nothing that will protect the camera bump. So You gotta be careful or put a case. Camera skins are just a skin that go around the lenses!
