Here: Ebay rocks!!
Thanks alot man, just bought me a 3 pack for less than $7.00. NICE......compared to what i would have had to have paid through other companies
For the British amongst us, eBay UK also has some low cost ones here: Touch HD Magnetic Stylus

Dude, thanks for that link. I'd lost one of my styli in a car accident (long story) and so I was thinking about going to HTC direct. Just bought two from that UK eBay seller for £2.49 each with free shipping
Happy as a pig in poo.
I miss-placed the one that comes in the phone a few weeks back, not sure where or how(it was after I got the new case). forgot that a spare is provided in the box and was wondering where I can get a replacement if I can't find the lost one, I'm in the uk so might order 1 or 2 from ashcan's link.
Source for good quality stylus?
Anybody know a good source to buy a higher quality stylus than the stuff sold on Ebay? I bought a 5 pack on Ebay and they are all broken, they are made very cheap and break very easily. Also my Noreve case tends to pull out the stylus each time you remove the phone so I tend to loose some that way too I am looking for the non-magnetic version of the stylus. Thanks.

Brando Stylus?
Whatever you do don't buy Brando! Worse than Ebay, at least the cheap Ebay stuff lasts a couple days, few weeks. Brando is even cheaper quality. I just got 3 for which I paid allot of money from Brando Hong Kong, the top is very cheap plastic and they are are breaking/falling apart, the whole stylus very cheaply built.

A stylus for use in the car with SatNav
There's a universal tethered stylus on eBay for use with touch-screen mobiles or SatNavs in cars.:
Tethered Stylus
I've got one and it is good quality.

I think you will find that the so-called "Non-Magnetic" versions of the Touch HD stylus on eBay and elsewhere are actually inferior copies that unlike the orignals, have slightly enlarged plastic tops.
Yes, they do stay in the slot as they are a tight fit but it wasn't deliberate by design. It's to stop them shooting back out as the magnets have been fitted in reversed polarity
Incidenatlly I'd beware of buying ANY stylus on eBay thats sold in quantity as it usually indcates a cheap quality. Also, ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS check an eBay seller's feedback before buying. The top listed seller currently selling cheap HD Touch stylus copies on eBay has thousands of negative feedbacks yet people are STILL buying them ???
Mobile Brando...
I've found good ones on EBAY...
At first I was looking for non-magnetic so that my Noreve case would not pull them each time I remove the phone to put it in my car mount. But so far what I purchased on Ebay (non-magnetic 5 pack) and 3 Pack Brando Hong Kong (magnetic) has been very poor quality junk! I am just trying to buy original stylus now but who knows where to get those from since nobody selling these things tell you whether they are original HTC or cheap junk. I think I saw a 3 pack on expansys (mobileplanet) and I am going to assume those are good original quality but they are out of stock right now.

Did you in fact check the feedback of the eBayers before buying these stylus? I've found that 99.9% of the time if an eBay seller is selling poor quality junk it is reflected in the seller's feedback.
Dont just look at the headline feedback percentage figure - if its not 100% check it more thoroughly. It amazing that a seller can in fact be showing 99.9% positive feedback but due to large volume sales can have thousands of negative feedbacks.
Just as FYI, I researched all of the sellers and this was the only site I found who were selling original HTC styli AND had them in stock in the United States:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=173044
I received the package today and they look exactly like the original ones, i.e. it has the small black tip, exact fitting plastic cap with small rectangular "bump" on the side, the magnet, etc. Yes they're expensive, but what can you do...
Has anyone found an arm-strap style case that is suitable for the Hero?
I'd like to try out BuddyRunner but I don't have anything to carry the Hero in.
Thanks,

I´m using this one.
Hi this is for the Ipod Touch but fits perfect for my hero.
It´s made by Belkin and has partnumber F8Z525tt064
/Jonas
Great thanks. Where did you purchase it from? I've found a few references on the web, but no online retailers.
Thanks,
Lee
RE:
I found it in a store here in Sweden.

Thanks for that. I've ordered one too, worth the risk at $5 inc shipping.
Lee
[EDIT]
I've had this for a few days now and taken it out for a couple of runs, the second of which was in light rain across muddy terrain. The case has kept the hero clean and dry.
The strap is neoprene, or at least looks like neoprene. The screen is transparent plastic, and is sewn on to the neoprene - it doesn't look completely waterproof, but it was adequate.
The phone is secured in the case by just a double-flap of neoprene, but strapping the case onto your arm provides more security.
Overall I'm satisfied with it, particularly for 5 pounds. It's not the greatest quality, but it does the job. Thanks to Sallcho for the tip.

I was also looking for something like this.
Probably going for the Runner's Arm Wallet
http://www.hillyclothing.co.uk/Products/Neoprene/
I placed my order a few days after my previous post and received my Runner's Arm Wallet today (took 1 week).
Ordered at this site http://www.sportsaver.co.uk/ because they had the new model (Many sites only sold the old one) and were cheaper
pro:
The hero fits very well in this Arm Wallet. While running your hero doesn't move around.
It has also a rubber headphone outlet for MP3 or phone wire.
con:
As you can see in pictures of this Arm Wallet it is not transparent. So if you want to use your phone you will have to take it out of the Arm Wallet.
It's not really a problem for me because I use it for gps tracking while running/cycling and don't have time to use my phone then
As soon as i can actually order my hero, i might buy this
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sport-Armband-f...mQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_15?hash=item2a034b95e9
Fits hero good, doesnt fit my arm so unless you have really really thin arms it wont work well.
Found one in WalMart
I am in the military and over the past weekend I found a couple in the PX that would work. There was a black one and a camouflage one. My daughters recommended that I buy one and I didn't. If you know someone in the military, they can get you one of those.
If not, you could get the Belkin like I had to do from WalMart for $20. It is a neoprene case and it works perfect.
By the way, the one from the PX was about $12.
i answered the same question here

Hey it appears that GagdetShieldz has finally released a skin for the Tilt 2! I had one on my Fuze and at 6.99 I don't think they are a bad deal at all... plus it worked quite well! When I get done with Finals I am gonna order one and put it on... Plus free worldwide shipping!
Found here!
Edit: I just placed my order... I will post updates once I get it in and applied!

THANKS.. Just ordered one..
PPCSG15
15% off
I got this too. For less than $6 with free shipping,you really can't beat that. I hope it's good. I've been using the Invisiblesheild for my past 3 phones, it works really nice if you take the time to put it on correctly but it costs a lot more than this.
Mine just came in the mail yesterday. I've been using Invisiblesheild for several of my devices and to be honest with you I can't tell the difference. The only major differences between this and Invisiblesheild is that it does not come in the fancy box with the spray, squeegee, applicator card etc. Just a plain envelope with the product. Since it only cost $5-6 its hard not to recommend this.
honestly i found this one harder to put on, and eventually i wasnt able to...
that and this feels.. thinner than invisible shield, but not that much. the texture is also slightly different...
overall for 6 bucks its a good deal lol
Installed
I just finished installing it, and yeah the front was difficult... kind of rushed to back and have a bubble or two but no biggie. I took my time on the front and it is curing right now! I will try and get pictures but it will be later next week, after Christmas!
Oh and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y'all!
Please post detailed pictures and if possible a scratch test. I was looking at bodyguardz but this is a cheap alternative I am willing to consider if available for T7373 also (not branded). Also tell me if it arrived just 1 set or 2 sets like bodyguardz and if the touch screen's sensitivity is somehow affected?
EDIT:
20% discount coupon - PPCSG20
I will try
MightyCrys I apologize I am out of town, however, I will try to get a camera from a family member! As far as screen sensitivity - I have noticed no depreciable difference in that area. The screen definitely has a different feel due to the skin's thickness, but I do not see this as an issue. My fingers sort of drag on the surface on the skin, but it does not impede function by any means. My stylus use is very limited but the stylus is usable with the appropriate amount of pressure.
Also you receive 1 shield only, but at 6.99 (w/o discounts) I still find it hard not to recommend.
You are right about the price, it's the best aspect but my main problem is that is only made for carriers branded phones and not for the unbranded european T7373 which I have and don't want to be doing some cutting myself..
I see
I see that now, didn't realize they were only for the carrier branded models. If you try requesting it on the GadgetShieldz website they can probably accommodate your needs. That is what I did for the Tilt 2, but whether it was my request or the fact that they were gonna make one anyway I really dunno haha!
Hope you find something to suit your needs!
I already left a message on their site, but so far no answer. .
Although it's strange to me that they didn't do a shield for the original device as well
If you can, please put some pictures of your TP2 with the shield on
I'd love to see some pics of installed product, thanks.
For anyone interested in bodyguardz, now is a good time to order. They already include the 25% discount for Christmas and if you use coupon 155A6 you get another 20% off!!
Does anyone know of a Silicon case for the liquid
I mean the type that just covers the edges and back of the phone to protect it from knocks
Has anyone seen one - looked on ebay but cant fine one
Help appreciated
Pete
I've only seen PDAir leather case, its beautiful.
There are no Slim cases yet, or not much.
But acer promised to promote the rerelease of the Liquid E much more.
I gues we'll see several ones after the release of Acer Liquid E.
Hope acer helps
Hope Acer does help - from my experience of them I wont hold my breath
I suppose that all we can hope for is that as the phone has more buyers and users the aftermarket will see producing extras as a commercial proposition
The only thing we can do is to keep asking the suppliers to show that there is a market
Pete
silicone case!
I've found it!
look here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdG_bIt8l5g
and search on ebay "Soft Silicone Skin Case For Acer Liquid".
It seems that only one vendor sells them... O.O
If someone try, shoud post some feedback
Personally, i don't like those colours...
Black Silicone case available
Ebay has a black silicone case for the liquid
Its in china for £1.99 - looks good tho
Have just ordered one will let you all know what its like in 2 weeks
At last!
Ebay has about 240 things available if you put in acer Liquid now !!
Its becoming popular at last!!!!
Pete
I'm afraid the silicone cases will have problems with the flush buttons on the Liquid. You'd have to dig your fingernails inside to push them.
The only thing I would be interested in getting is a camera lens cover since it seems that could get scratched easily.
Tested
Hi I received the Silicon Case from Hong-Kong a week ago.
It fits very well the the Acer Liquid and I have no problem at all with the buttons.
I'm very satisfied with it. You can have to combine it with a screen protector to complete the protection.
Cheers, Pkd

I confirm what you say. I'm very satisfied, I also found an improvement with the on/off button: now i "feel" it because the case has a little "step" on it: it's so easier to press.
Global score: 9,5 out of 10
Bye
I ordered a black one from France from eBay. It's wonderful.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370383448432&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Fast shipping, inexpensive, and it fits and looks great. Definitely happy with it.
I also ordered one of the Hong Kong ones, haven't received it yet.
EDIT: just received the transparent one from hong kong. Go with the french one! The HK ones are ok but ugly and they are a bit to big - they look sloppy.
Just FYI.. I picked up a silicon case at Rogers !
they only had smoke color but it was 11.99$
How do you like it?
I bought the one off eBay dancerobot recommended. It fit the phone well but when in my pocket, buttons would be easily pressed (including the damn power button).
I got the one off of eBay as well, it fits perfectly. It was about $13.00 CDN and came with 2 additional screen protectors and a little lanyard thing that I don't have a lot of use for.
It took about 10 days to come from Hong Kong. The pleasant surprise was their was no duty or HST due when it was delivered. Usually things ordered international have duty and GST/HST owning.
I have the one from Hong Kong, its perfect, i agree with previous posters
Tried to find one @ rogers like post above, no such luck, evem tried to get one from France off ebay but they are not available
I contacted Otter Box and they said maybe in the future
I did not receive a lanyard with mine....but I have 3 extra small holes on the back of the case...any ideas?
a bit more info...
i currently ordered an Acer Liquid E from Fido.
was wondering about this case from Hong Kong, the material it's made out of... would it stick to the inside of your pocket when trying to take your phone out?
I've thrown out silicone cases, because of this.
in short does this "Transparent Soft Skin Case" have a rubbery feel or more of a plastic feel to it.
thanks in advanced for any responses
no the case does not stick in my pants pocket
but it is stickier than the phone itself
no longer slides into its velvet case as easily
mine is in gray (really almost clear)
this is the only one I have found
above post is only reference to rogers protection case availability I ve seen -heard
french eBay source seems gone
would love to see pic of mentioned lanyard, I guess 2 holes near lower Acer logo is for lanyard....then what is the top hole next to the cam for?

BTW got the hong kong one couple of months ago. the clear one. but now it turned yellow.
Is it me or is everything for the tilt 2 expensive and HARD TO FIND or un available. I love silicon cases right, so I wanted to buy one for my new tilt 2, CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE! I found one for a T-Mobile touch pro 2 but it was black, not fitted for my device, ugly and EXPENSIVE! I tried to look for a spare stylus just in case, on Ebay I found ONE for $15!!!!!!! Tried to get a spare battery cover just in case something happened to mine, CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE! Not on ebay, amazon or anywhere. I ended up ordering the european touch pro's battery cover for $20!! Batteries for the tilt 2 are hard to come across and are as much as $50 for one. I have never had so much trouble finding accessories for a phone as popular as this that is used on 4 MAJOR carriers. The pure, which is only supported on At&t has silicon cases in any color for maximum $5. Battery backs for $5-7 and the other accessories are even cheaper. Does anyone have an explanation for this, sorry for my rage I just need to express my anger towards this predicament.

The issue stems from the fact that each carrier's version of the TP2 is just slightly different enough that many accessories will only work on one or two of them...so that presents the obvious challenge to manufacturers of trying to guess which models it's worth producing compatible accessories (like cases) for.
Boxwave does carry a line of silicone-like cases for the Tilt2, but I don't know if the styling will suit you.
I feel your pain. I want a rubber case for mine and I had thought I found one on ebay (it was the only one listed). I decided to send the seller a message just to make sure that it would fit a Tilt2. He said no, it was just for the TP2, EVEN THOUGH TILT2 WAS IN THE TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It does seem like everything is for the TP2 and not the Tilt2. But that's okay, I still love the phone.
Do you think the european touch pro 2 battery back will look okay on the tilt 2? I ordered it but haven't gotten it yet, but on the plus side the annoying PTT button wont be their (YAY FOR ME!). I hope it works..... I also hope my dream of silicon cases will come true
Eh, the PTT button is decidedly ungay. use Rhodium Keyboard Config to map it to do awesome **** like rotate screen on single click, disconnect data on double click, toggle wifi on triple, and bluetooth toggle on hold...
Really? Well, if I could find a Tilt 2 battery cover i'd use it. Otherwise not an option for me....
I'm quite sick of the whole situation myself
I totally feel your pain... and Hell, I live in L.A. where you'd think you should be able to find damn near anything on a shelf somewhere, but not a chance. Not even the AT&T stores here carry anything. If you have a Blackberry or an iPhone, then you have more choices than brains, but for anything HTC, good luck. And sorry, I'm not keen on shopping for some things online and accessories for this phone with so many variables is one of them. Someone is missing out on $$$
Okay, I have succeded a huge feat that only people's wild imaginations could think up. I have completed a challange so difficult, gorrillas and llamas will be terrified to death to think of the trouble and harshness I went through to complete this amazing acomplishment. This is no longer a figment of your imagination but a reality! I have found..... A SILICONE CASE FOR THE TOUCH PRO 2! I was searching in the Amazon for the mysterious silicone case when suddenly it popped out of no where! I found green, black, purple, pink, red, blue, and any other color of the rainbow. I was tempted to attack the deal and was just about to finish and proudly show my trophy when.... Amazon doesn't support paypal.... Oh well. Just a little over exaggeration. I did find them on amazon.com but no paypal support so ima have to wait
This site has silicone and rubberized for the tilt 2. http://www.talkietech.com/athtcti2ac.html
Where? The one I found was made for the t-mobile version and is $6.
If you're willing to do a little trimming (PTT button), then most of the Touch Pro 2 plastic, rubberized and silicone cases can be used.
TP2 Silicone case from a hong kong vendor on e-bay:
sorry I can't post link because I'm a new user.
OOh, put it as the title, put a space between every 3 letters or so. I dont have a ppt button anymore, gave it up for a new battery cover.
