Think there will be cool silicone covers and unique cases for the Touch HD similar to the iPhone? One thing about my Touch Pro and Tilt I have is they don't make silicone covers due to the slide out keyboard. On rare occasions I've dropped my Tilt on asphalt and scratched it bad.
Just want a good protector for a 1000 dollar phone when it comes out.
Would appreciate any info or rumors of accessories coming out..
Thanks
haven't heard of anything yet. But, some of the iphone accessories might fit since they are almost identical in size...
What about those invisible shields? They are transparent stickers essentially that cover the entire phone. I think it would be better to have that as it protects the phone from scratches and still leaves the cool uncased form factor. I saw one on my friend's iphone. Looked fine.
Seidio case for the HD?
I wonder if there will be a Seidio case for the Touch HD, as I'm very satisfied with the one I have for my TyTn II (it literally saved it's life)

I will also buy an invisible shield for my HD when i have it, it's more beautiful than the silicone covers.

Here is a temporary silicone solution I've been using. Be careful as its a snug fit.

I'm using a black Belkin silicone case meant for an iPhone 3G. I had to cut a hole for the camera and the headphones. It fits, but not too tight. I think it will hold me over until the official HD models hit the market.
It seems there is one sold here

What do you think about the original silicon case from HTC (HTC Touch HD Silicon Case SC S420)?
https://www.htcaccessorystore.com/ee/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956
You think it would fit together with the leather case I am getting from digitec.ch?
http://www.digitec.ch/ProdukteDetails2.aspx?Reiter=Bilder&Artikel=159942

looks nice, but not available until next year... i don't want to wait; i'd rather protect now with something cheaper an purchase HTC's version later.
My silicon arrived from ebay today. Package contains the case, a replacement screen protector (which I will not use - waiting for invisishield) and a useless neck strap (useless in that there is no strap loop on the case!).
The case itself fits easily, makes the Hd easier to hold in the hand, and makes me much less scared of dropping it.
Of course, now I have introduced a new surface into the equation, the propensity for scratches via this method increases. However, the fit is pretty good and I certainly prefer this to having the paintwork exposed all the time.

One of these came today. It is specifically for the THD. The fit is good the cut outs in the right place and the buttons sound and off operable through the rubber.
At £3.49 It will do for now.

I have been lookig for something that provides suitable screen protection for the Touch HD, so that it can be carried in a pocket with other items with no corcerns about things being pressed against the screen. I have an Invisible Shield to protect from scratches, but obviously this won't protect against excessive pressure being applied and the open frame type protectors likw thw silicon and crystal won't offer much help. Normal leather pouches offer greater resistance, but it is still soft material and whilst it can spread pressure, it won't totally stop it.
So far the only thing I have seen that may offer what I am looking for is the Proporta Alu-Leather Case
Yeah i like the protection that the cover offers, however i don't like the method of holding the HD in the case.
Those side brackets/grip things might damage the outer edge of the surround.
This method also seems to leave a lot of the outer edges exposed.
Although the screen protection is not aluminum, i prefer the Pielframa and Noreve method of holding the HD in the case.
I ordered mine from proporta , just waiting for delivery and i gonna give you my feedback
i just recieved it an it feets perfect with my blackstone.
Has anyone come across anything else that offers similar protection for the screen. Being vegetarian, I'd prefer to use something other than leather. I had hoped I would find a plastic or metal case with the flip front design, but I've not seen anything remotely like that.

The back is hard plastic, leather wrapped.
Unless your saying you already have the HTC case and you need something to go over it. If that's the case, I'd say probably not since most everything is made to fit the device by itself.
It´s the leather wrapped plastic case. At the moment I am using it together with the original white leather case. It´s a little bit tight-fitting but it works.
By the way, pay a little attention to Flyer cases who fits too tight;
1. They may cause stains especially at the top and bottom parts (rubbing with some diluted IPA or cologne water will do the trick)
2. I've also faced an interesting problem. The cases that fully cover the tablet makes the G-sensor not work. Like in the pic.
Therefore it seems, one has to use cases that hold or cover the tablet from the edges.
Is it real leather ? How does it feel ?
This guy has the rotating one for $7.99 shipped and he's i n the USA. It just has a slight imprint of the rotating side on it from back packing from China. You won't find it anywhere else under $12 now let alone from a US seller. My luck, the guy went on vaca before shipping mine out. Quite peeved. Would've spent a few dollars more and gotten something from Amazon with Prime like this one.. Great case. Have the same one for the Transformer and Icona A500.
I bought the $7.99 rotating case and its great. It actually has a hard shell mount with a leather (synthetic I presume) covering.... great looking ,great function, great price.

Hi,
After months of putting it off (whilst discovering more and more cases coming onto the market all the time) I went for this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/StilGut-Ult...5QZ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321807531&sr=8-1
At £34.90 not cheap but:
*I wanted the corners protecting, rather than all the edges and not the corners like it seems many flyer cases have...
*wanted a pen holder that protected the nib a little better (but now I can see it doesn't actually fully protect the nib)
*Superb build quality, lovely leather smell!
*Very simple design.
*The screen is completely unhindered, which I also thought was a plus compared to some designs where the case can encroach on the touchscreen.

When the front flap is closed is it a very tight fit against the the Flyer's screen?
I ask this because I have exactly the same case but the outside is in a imitation carbon fibre material & it is very tight fitting so much so that the flap would put too much pressure on the screen & I'm afraid in the long term it will cause damage.

This one I bought is yummy leather with a spongy cushion feel... The fit is tight but just kind of catches the curved side of the body, firm, but not too firm IMO... I don't expect it to damage the screen or even the body at all.

Hi,
XDA wouldn't let me post the url so please search google "flyer skin case" and the first post from amazon is the one I'm talking about.
Anyone tried this? I'm debating between the 360 which I think is very handy to have and a case which is less bulky and can fit in my pockets. Yes, I can fit the flyer in my pockets .
Thanks!
My case came in today, the supposedly dented one from ebay had not dent at all. Going to look good on my flyer once it comes in

Its hard rubber as the one your talking about is flexible rubber, they both have the same feeling. It also has a face plate that secures the case on tight. Its on Prime so free 2 day ship.
Im waiting for the otterbox case to come in the mail. From the 100 or so cases I looked at it seemed to be the best.
This is just a placeholder!
Car Charger
Anyone bought a car charger for the SGP5 that charges? I discovered not all micro USB chargers are created equal. I have a .7A wall charger that came with my Galaxy Player, and a .7A wall charger than came with my Optimus-V. Both say 5V with micro USB. The Optimus charger won't switch the Galaxy Player to charging (just keeps discharging). The car charger I have for my Optimus works fine on the phone, but also does not charge the Player.
Does Samsung have an extra wire or two in their chargers? Just want to buy a good car charger for the Samsung (and don't want to have to return it). This is my Optimus charger: http://www.amazon.com/Retractable-C...2C0W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324098638&sr=8-1

Coincidentally I just received the Riot Outfitters case today. It is a MINIMAL case. No protection for the top and bottom corners. About all it does for me is make it a bit easier to hold the device. With your thumbs up of that Rearth case, I'm going to order one of them.

Hi,
I originally got the gel case I mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389081
I got one of Riot cases for Christmas, from my family (a little early ), and although I didn't really like it, because of the lack of protection mentioned above, I was obliged to try it.
That lasted for about a day, then I went back to the gel case.
The main reason was that I noticied that when I played some games in landscape, the games were constantly going to "resume". I'm guessing that it was because the Riot case doesn't provide much isolation at the bottom edge when in landscape, and between the metal band around the SGP5, and the narrow bezel area between the edge and the capacitative screen, it was causing this.
So, I switched back to the gel case, and the problem's gone.
I also got a cheap protector when I bough the gel case off of Ebay, and I was obliged to try a Zagg protector (again, for Christmas). That lasted even less time than the Riot case.
I really hated the tackiness of the Zagg protector, especially when doing things on the screen that required smoother movement. With the Zagg protector, my finger kept jumping/skipping, esp. when I played games. I did some googling, and this seems to be a common complaint with the Zagg protectors.
So, I'm back to the cheap Ebay protector also.
Just my observations...
Jim
When I first installed the zagg shield,
I also thought it was more "tacky" than it should be.
Wasn't sure about it for the first couple days.
But now it's been on there for a week or so,
and it's really no different now than when the shield was off.
Not tacky anymore, fingers not jumping or skipping,
and i just glide across it nicely, just as i did the original screen.
So, while the zagg shield was questionable to me for a few days after installing it..
It really does work quite nicely now!
Nice and smooth/slick just like the actual screen.
I bought this car charger, just go it, works well: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-...7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1324098713&sr=1-7

Bought this "Sleeve" that is very functional (and protective): http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-...GEOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325036022&sr=8-1

there's no holes/ports for the speakers?
or does the 5.0 have only one speaker in the front, on the opposite side?
Looks cool, but doesnt have the proper holes, at least not for my 4.0

I see that the 5.0 does indeed have different placements. mybad
@rasall, how much thicker does it make it? Is it really worth $20 for a silicone case? It does look nice, but my device seams thick enough already without a case. Also ghost armor now has screen protectors for the galaxy players, fyi.

Not much thicker at all.
I just measured it with the case on and it's still only 2.5 inches across from side to side.
It really was worth the $20, for me anyway.
$20 to add some decent protection to a $240 device , I find worth it.
As Im sure you know..
there are not really a whole lot of cases out there yet for these players..
So one that fits perfectly, adds protection, and gives it some extra grip, is worth it to me.
It also makes it feel super nice!
Like it gives it some more 'stability''.... er something. lol
I'm not aware of "ghost armor" ,
But I have a Zagg invisishield on and I love it. Perfect fit, and one of the best quality materials Ive seen.
Plus, it has a lifetime guarentee.
If it gets damaged, they replace it for free.
Ghost-armor is a screen protector similar to zagg but uses static cling rather than adhesive and is therefore reusable if you have to take it off. From what I have seen they are pretty much indestructable (I saw someone demonstrate by grinding his iphone 4s across diamond plated steel - not so much as a hairline scrach!). You can also get nice looking carbon fiber skins. They also have lifetime warranty. They are pretty expensive, though ($25-30), and my $2 xtreme guard from ebay is working great, so I guess I'll wait.

How is the xtreme guard? I have the cheap clear guard LCD screen protectors from eBay, and they scratch and attract fingerprints too easily. I wanted to get the xtreme guard, but I was afraid they would be tacky and sticky to touch because they are the kind that need water to install. So are they tacky like zaggs?

It was a bit of a pain to install correctly, but not to bad if you use soapy water. It was really hard to use the first couple days, but after a while it broke in and is smooth as can be. It is exactly like zagg, so if you don't like zagg it might not be for you, but it isn't sticky at all to me. If you scratch it, it just goes away after some use, pretty nice for how cheap it is. One more thing - the rear protector is absolute junk, if you can get just the front protector without the back, do so.
Hi there,
Im looking for thin case.
Best I have found is this case on ebay
Design is not bad, but its not covering glass area around the camera.
Questions:
1. Is there any thin case(plastic, rubber) that covers that?
2. Anyone tried skins? Will they remove easily(considering phone is jeans pocket)?
3. Those who are using various rubber, gel, hybrid and so on cases, how much fatter is your phone with them? If its not that much fatter suggestions on good cases then

I have tried them all, best case is either the capdase brand or official HTC TPU case. They both let your phone slide into your pocket easy, don't bulk out your phone, look great and offer good protection.
The Ebay jobs are just cheap rubbish you get fed up with after a week or 2.

Look up the Kraken AMS. That is a reasonable case.
Alternatively just look for something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-HAR...sesPouches&hash=item3a6a2fac16#ht_1887wt_1396
Best thing about this type of case is it doesn't add too much bulk, and is easy to get in and out of your pocket (unlike a silicone/rubber case). And it will actually protect your phone in a drop unlike that case you linked to in your original post. As for your screen... only BIG cases include a plastic layer to completely cover the glass.
Are you just looking for something with raised edges, and then use a screen protector perhaps? (Like the ebay one I showed you).

this has been the best case for me so far, its very thin, and has a rubber skin with a hard plastic shell..the kraken, and defender are way to big for me. this case is just the right size its about the same size as a tpu case.

HTC EVO 3D TPU Case TP C630
Loads available in the UK not so sure about else where. Ebay perhaps, Amazon etc.
Well worth the extra few pounds.

@Scougar- that case looks good. Nit expensive, will order and try it
@jtgarza3- I know about Acase but the problem is I can't get it in my country(amazon ships books and kindle only) and I cant find it elsewhere. I believe it is the best case
@vervester- thanks mate, will try it
Still can't find a case I like better than the acase superleggra.... Look into that, wonder if there's anywhere you buy it that will ship it to you. its cheap and sounds like what your looking for.

My case looks exactly the same and it was £3 from amazon.
IMO the thinnest cases are the back cases ones that doesnt really cover the top and bottom bezel...just the sides and back. BUT if you really want to protect your phone and not get it scratched up over time, you are better off using a TPU type case as the are not too thick and are of softer material and will not rub off any of the black anodized paint. Unlike any hard cases, whether its back only or 2 pieces. Also TPU cases are more absorbent during accidental drop on hard surfaces.
I was running seidio 2pc case hard case w/kick stand with my first 3d and although it had felt inside it eventually rubbed off the pain on the top corners of my phone. The felt inside was very thin and the case is not skin tight so it would move some and the slight movement of the case over time eventually sandpapered some of the paint off. TPU or rubber type cases are more skin tight and is not as abrasive as plastic on painted metal and will not damage the paint so long as you also clean it off from time to time. Some dirt can eventually get in between and the dirt will act as sandpaper. So just consider this when you're buying a case as some of you would probably like to sell your phone later down the road or just want to keep it looking new for a long time.
Finally found ultra thin(slim) case

Those thin cases are the exact same thing as the case mate barely there cases. Much cheaper. I got the rock brand and like it a lot. You do lose that boot of protection at top and bottom though.
Some people have complained that these type of cases are a bit loose on the sides. Easy fix is to lightly squeeze the sides inwards... tight fit!

I got mine. The case even covers the camera also come with a screen protector which works well if you put it on str8 with no dust.. Tho the one you posted looks like it's for a extended battery.
Cost only 4 dollars 3 shipped
What has everyone found for cases? I'm using the clear Mpero Flex S case. It provides extra grippiness, decent protection and the clear one allows you to see the details of the phone.
Edit: plus they're inexpensive

I bought mine on swappa with a black incipio case,but I just use the verizon holster daily.
I got a stickerboy yellow skin for the back to stop the slippery feel.
Of course I made a pouch to carry it in.
I've also ordered a Skinomi full body skin and I'm going to try that for a while.
I have the black silicone case from Verizon when I got my phone together as a bundle, but I'm debating to myself whether I should go for a clear case that shows my phone's details. Clear cases get yellowing just because over time, it absorbs our oils and such. Will the flex cases do the same because of the material?

It's a TPU material. Mine hasn't yellowed yet, but then again it's not that old.
I like the holster kickstand case from Verizon. I don't use the holster cover and the hard kickstand body is protective and convenient with the kickstand. The black case with white phone looks sharp.

Very good Material, very good fitting, just perfect.
Used it on 2 oher Mobiles and im completely satisfied.
I'm using the incipio case from verizon with verizon's tempered glass protector. The case covers the edges nicely.
Has anyone came across a bumper case that exposes the back?
I use the otterbox defender. I would get a lifeproof case if they made one for the z3v.

I think you're way off in what Sony designed in their flagship series: the unneeded accessories for lifeproof cases. It's already designed and built to be IP68 ratings, meaning it's waterproof and dustproof for the phone itself. There is an article that tested how well its ratings are from the Z2 as someone dropped their in the middle of the ocean and had it recovered 3 weeks later.
The back glass panel cracked, but once charged up, it's still usable as if nothing happened.
And BTW, getting a lifeproof case will make your phone look like another iPhone from the outside. Dx

I stand corrected, SIX weeks at 32 feet underwater. That's an incredibly impressive feat.
Has anyone noticed that the Xperia Z2 (L50t) China version seems to be the exact design specifications as the Z3v. It appears we may be able to use all of its cases and screen protectors. I'm going to check it out and report back.*
Google pics of the Xperia Z2 L50t and check it out.

That's interesting that there are many similarities and not many other sources discuss the design being similar. The only thing that I think the cases will do for our phones is leave open a space that's for the magnetic dock charger. Other than that, I hope it may work so it could open more case options.

Here's the dimensions I found through some searches, seems like they're incredibly close, let's hope it fits for you!
L50T: 149 x 73.3 x 8.2mm
Z3V: 148.5mm x 73.4mm x 8.9mm
Z3: 146 x 72 x 7.3 mm
I'm using the Incipio case from Verizon. I've always used Otterbox Commuter cases on my phones, and this Incipio is the closest thing to that. I'm really happy with it so far.
I've really enjoyed the form and beauty of the Z3v without a case. I have a couple cases that I use on occasion when doing more rugged things, but this phone is a looker and I don't want to cover it up.
