...the summer is coming....nobody found Neck Strap for our HD ??
thx a lot
Bye
There is nowhere to hook the neck strap unless you could attach it to a case and its a rather large phone to have hanging around your neck, could be a health hazard.
no one found something?
I think Seal's post pretty much sum'ed it up, there's no where to attach the strap, your only hope is some case with a built in loop of sorts, besides that wouldnt you feel a bit of a wa..er walking around with HD swinging all over the place? Seal is right again it could be hazardous for yourself or others walking near you
Heres the solution
YES YOU CAN!!!
I used a heated pin to melt two tiny holes into the bottom of a plastic hard case which i got from ebay. You then simply thread the neck strap clip as you would normally. I added a touch of epoxy resin to the holes prior to threading the neck strap clip just so the holes wouldn't wear
@homer285....You are right, although you wont look stupid if like myself you put the hanging HD into a shirt pocket. It will move all over the place otherwise.
neck strap is childish. and if your HD is neck strapped, that's gay. wtf u neck strap a >1000$ phone?

hehehe, might I be correct saying that your last phone died from a serious fall? I have mine in top pocket (without strap) in silicon skin which keeps it there quite well.
Won't it be a strain on your neck with a device as heavy as a HTC HD?
TBH Would you wanna show off a £300 phone to chavs & a such when these kinda things on show get people mugged & stabbed?!
Come think people lol!!!
i did attach a sandisk lanyard from one of my usb thumb drives to my touch diamond so that it would be easy to pull out of my pocket and i wouldnt lose it as easily but i soon realized that htc made one fatal mistake when they designed the strap port
if you have it around your neck for example and you let it fall the case cover pops right off and there goes your 750 dollar brand new diamond on the concrete.

tradeshow lanyard
I work in the exhibition industry and having the phone around yourneck is the best thing. I received a tradeshow name badge which had a clear plastic pouch for name badge attached to the lanyard. the phone fit perfectly into the pouchand could be used through theplastic. on oneside o had my accreditation and on the other my phone. it was heart.

This may sound silly, but I have recently bought a TyTN to replace my SE P900 but one thing that I took for granted on the SE was that when i put it down on a surface or on a machine that i'm working on then it wouldn't slide off or be knocked off easily. THis is largely due to the 2 small rubber feet on the back. The P900 rests on the back on these two tiny rubber feet and also on part of the camera mounting. This is just enough to stop any careless sliding/knocking accidents etc.
I have noticed that when i put the TyTN down on a flat shiny surface, and it rings with the vibrator on, it does move considerably. I am concerned that it may one day vibrate itself onto the floor :shock:
Does anyone know of a solution that I could try with this - maybe even just to stick some kind of small rubber feet on, or a self adhesive non slip rubber? Is anything actually designed for this type of thing?
HI, I'm not sure abut rubber feet, but I recently ot the invisible shield kit for the TyTN it seems to stick ut farther than the two little tabs by the battery door opening, so it helps the sliding a little bit, but its a shame there wasnt a piece to cover the black circle around the camera lens, the kit had a piece that didnt really fit this model, and there is a line in the screen shield one review I read had the same line issue.
I dunno if i can really recommend this product, due to quality issues, but it does help the sliding.
The silicone skin which I bought from www.ids.hk seems to help a lot. It's basically a protective cover for the bottom half of the phone (when it's lying flat on a surface with the screen facing upwards), with a small overlap around the top and bottom edges.
i was going to get one of those silicon skin. problem is i dont think it'll fit in the docking station i have bought.
It slips in and out of the skin in no time at all.
Im looking for a good protective case --- Ive been riding my MTB and the phone is always in my pocket _(the pocket can get bumped into the steering wheel--i dont know the righ word for bike-- and the phone gets wet in my pocket from all the heat from me--phone is in original pouch--)_
So Im looking for a case that has a soft inside(so phone cant get scrached), metal or other hard and light material(like carbon, so the phone can take some hard hits in case i fall of my bike and get knocked in the road),, and the case must not be bulky (so it can fit in my pocket)..
Anyone knows a case like this or a similiar one??? I need suggestion for a good and safe case!!!
up it!!!!!!!!

just bought a PDair AluminiumCase for my Touch HD. seems quite protective around the edges, but has a plasticfront-window (so you can see the screen) and lots of holes (for cam, plugs, speaker and buttons) so at least it won't protect from any wetness.
its really lightweighted and adds ca. 2mm to the sides in thickness and is ca. 5mm thicker than the phone itself (there are ca. 3mm space between the screen and the frontcover.
inside its coated with a thin neopren, so no worrys about scratches.
but i think in terms of stability its the best you can get so far.
sorry for the bad english, i hope its understandable enough

one question -- does it fit in the original htc pouch???
your english is pretty good so dont worry we understand you!!!
No, it does not fit the pouch. On the other hand you do not need the pouch anymore. This case is really very robust and protects your phone optimally, 3 times already I've been most happy that my phone was in it - half a meter is no fun with the pouch or any less robust case...
this is plastic and leather but it's $3.48 including shipping: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.22615
I ordered mine a while ago and still haven't gotten it but that's Deal Extreme...
I also bought the pdair metal case. it is great but unfortunately it scratched my upper rigth corner a bit...
Did not scratch on mine. Sometimes, you may encounter "polish" traces, which can you remove by using a white rubber.
When you remove the device from the case, remove it either from the bottom or the top side.
did it exactly like you said, but while in my pocket the upper part of the case was kind of pressed against the hd and scratched it. unfortunatelly i have no camera atm, so i cannot make a picture.

THNX for the link!!!!
Ill try to get that case of ebay!!!
I carry it in my back pocket and take it out every time I sit. Last Thurs, I tripped and sat down with the Streak still in the back pocket. Not some Mr Bean kinda fall. Just sat down rather quicker than usual on a cushioned booth seat.
Cracked the lcd. Gorilla glass still intact. My telco, which DELL defers to for warranties here in Singapore says cracked Gorilla glass / lcd is not covered under warranty, period. Even if it spontaneously cracks. So it's SGD$398 for a replacement phone. I am still thinking if I shd get the Streak again. Too damn fragile if you ask me.
My question is, how do u guys carry the streak? I have been carrying phones in my pants / jeans pockets since my first handphone .... including an iphone4.
Do you carry it in your bag? Shirt pocket? Hold it in your hands?
Sorry to hear about you unfortunate mishap with the screen. I usually carry mine in my front pocket since I wear slacks most of the time. I know it is not for everyone, but that is my preference. I avoid my back pocket for just that reason.
I never carry my devices in back pockets,always in my front pockets.I usually put my streak in my right pocket with the screen facing the pocket,it used to face my leg but once I took it out and seemed like the screen got frozen and couldn't unlock it,it was also kind of blinking,maybe it was because I sat and the lcd got a little smashed or I put too much pressure on it.....so I had to pull out the battery and calibrate the screen.
Sorry to hear about your screen.
I usually carry it in the Dell pouch that came with the Streak. Im either a front jeans pocket or right jacket pocket kind of guy.
I'd be too scared to throw this thing in my back pocket for fear of crushing it. I find my front pockets to be more convenient anyway
otterbox defender case
big but its works http://www.otterbox.com/dell-streak-cases/dell-streak-cases,default,sc.html
Front pocket with the screen facing my leg.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
front pants pocket, right-hand side, screen facing in.
sorry about your screen
i use the otterbox defender case with the belt clip attachment. The belt clip attachment servers two additonal purposes... it mounts to most universal car mounts including dell. and it has a kickstand... priceless for my kid watching gabba at restaurants.
I have dropped my streak hard about 8 times.. One time off of a ladder down about 15 feet. all i heard was a thuddd.... Picked it up and not a scratch...
best case hands down... too bad they don't make one for the cisco flip cameras.
Otter box defender belt clip... my phone slide off the seat of a golf cart and landed on concrete at about 10 miles per hour and only a little nick in case... no way a phone without a defender case would have survived that.
Okay, I'm maybe a bit of a freak - I keep my Dell Streak in an Otterbox Defender case, and that I keep inside of an old zippered generic PDA case with the Dell provided Sleeve covering the screen for extra protection.
Of course, I don't use the Streak as a cellphone, but rather as a mini wireless tablet. If I carried it around it would be in my bag.
Front left pants pocket or if I am wearing a jacket or coat I will put it in the left inside pocket.
I did think of the the otterbox. But the streak is as big as it is ..... wit the otterbox, I figured I'll have a tough time stuffing it into my jeans pocket, front or back.
It seems the front jeans pocket is the way to go. Thanks guys.
It's been winter since I bought my Streak so it goes in my inside jacket pocket when I go out. I wear a shirt & tie at work so I put it in my shirt pocket. I do put it in my front pants pocket when I'm in meetings with the exec's.
I don't use any kind of case.
I use a cheap tpu case and have it in my front pocket.
Sent from the Almighty Streak 1.7.0
Front pants pocket, coat pocket, or in a case from eascase on eBay. I have a TPU type case on my phone right now. I had a defender and was using the belt clip but got tired of the phone being so much bigger with the defender case on it.
I have the defender with belt clip. I discontinued using the belt clip after it fell out a few times after brushing against a wall or something.
Now its the front pants pocket.
In a Tuff Luv case in a side cargo pocket, or in my hand but never in a back pocket.
in my front pants pocket , in Dell pouch.I Dont have a casing but I have a customized Skinit skin and screen protector for its delicate surfaces.
I carry mine in either my jacket breast zipper pocket or my cargo pants side pocket. Still searching for shirts with a large enough breast pocket. That's where I've always carried my phones. I have never carried a phone in my pants front or back pockets. Sorry about your loss.

+1 and the geek factor of a 5" phone on my belt.
Just ordered the Krusell flip case and then got the belt clip to go with it.
If you have any questions about these items then feel free to ask away and I'll tell you as much as I can as soon as it arrives.
Case (Tried to add link but not allowed to yet so copy and past the below into ebay and you'll find them)
KRUSELL MULTIDAPT LEATHER SWIVELKIT SWIVEL KIT 45 45MM BELT CLIP FOR CASE ORBIT
Clip
KRUSELL MULTIDAPT LEATHER SWIVELKIT SWIVEL KIT 45 45MM BELT CLIP FOR CASE ORBIT
Recieved my Krusell case the other day and its excellent in almost every way. The build quality is fantastic an even has that luxurious leather smell to it. Very strong and sturdy/well made case.
Flip cover folds downwards and can be slid off as well. I thought I wouldn't use the detachment feature but I use it all the time if I'm handling the phone a lot. You could even use the case completely without the flip cover and it would give you better protection than an Imak case (which I had first off).
It also has the option of a belt clip - which can be removed and Krusell has a lot of useful and different styled attachments. It comes with a alegator type belt clip that connects to the phone by a round plastic button attached to the case and this clip is a non swivel model - great for normal sized belts (thin/narrow).
I wear a combat style belt for work so I ordered the 45mm belt clip which slides onto the belt and can not come off without taking the belt off. The clip is a swivel clip and it clips in and holds super well.
Protects the phone very very well - there are holes etc but its made in such a way that its very hard for surfaces to come in contact with the phone at all. If you dropped the phone in this case it would be very well protected.
The cover looks as though it would probably outlive the phone.
The inside of the case is a soft suede leather which means that any dust or dirt getting in between the phone and the case is not going to act like sandpaper as in the hard cases - ie no scratching.
The only thing I noticed after a couple of days use is the the case loosened up slightly and the phone would move approx 1-2 mm out towards the top of the case making grabbing/sliding down the blind hard to access. I solved this by some double sided tape inside the case. I peeled off one side of the tape and stuck it to the inside of the case then slid the phone in and then gently pulled the case away from the phone and pulled the other side of the tape off with some tweezers and then pushed the case together - now the phone doesnt slide anywhere and is securely stuck inside the case and all the button/mic/camera holes line up perfectly.
Highly recommended and worth considering even if your thinking about an Imak style case because you can remove the clip button and the flip face and you have a similar but better case all round - the only drawback is possibly the price but compared to the price and capabilities of this phone I didnt think it too bad, especially if you work in moderate to extreme conditions.
What do you mean the flip part can be left off? Pics?
It slides off from where it attaches on the back of the case. I'll get some pic's at some point.

I spose it does leave it a little "exposed" but this is so you can use the front facing camera and light sensors etc and even so its only a couple of mm and the leather on top of it is quite thick so to get something to touch that part of the phone I either have to aim the object at it or hold the phone at a 45degree angle to rub the plastic on the table. But then again with the flap on its covered by the clip strap.

Yip thats the one.
A big thanks to several members of this community, biggest thanks goes to T-R as I followed much of his instructions here
My goal was to replace the back but also place metal plates for my CD tray magnetic car holder.
I ordered three of the factory second backs from SlickWraps, the dark leather, football leather and cork. My first try was going to be with the cork as I figured it to be the most forgiving. I ordered the same plastic sheeting and 3M strips that T-R ordered.
Tools I used:
Hair Dryer to heat back
Library card to help peel off back
Pick to start initial prying of back
1/16th drill bit for microphone hole
Xacto knife to cut plastic sheet
Dremel to cut metal plate
I'm not good at step by step instructions so I apologize for not walking through what steps it took to make this happen. Feel free to ask if you are curious. My first attempt at the metal plate was too big and the back kept popping off. I put only one of the plates back over the little divot under the camera but didn't take pics before putting back on again as I didn't think it would work, seems it did.
My pros and cons and pics.
Pros:
Love the feel of the cork
Feels close to stock when not being nit picky
My slickwrap experience was great, order on Wednesday, in my mailbox on Friday
Fit of the cork back is impressively good minus one issue, see below
Cons:
Buy extra stickers, I screwed up the first and was glad to have a second but will need more if I want to change it
Mic hole is no where near where it should be on the cork back, might be part of why it's a factory second
Stickers are not as strong as the Motorola goop
Rookie mistake:
I had left the screen naked while working on all of this and scratched the hell out of it (my standards, others ask where when they look at it)
thanks for sharing. always love to see pics of what others are doing. what kind of magnetic holder do u use? any pics of the damage to the screen?

I tried taking a pic of the scratches and they don't show up well; they are probably not as bad as I make them out to be. I switched over to this mount because it has the strongest magnet I could find in a CD mount holder.
I'm tempted to switch the back out for one of the leather ones, I'm never satisfied.
No matter how nice it looks, it's certainly not worth scratching the screen for. I never put my phone face down on any surface that is not soft and I've never scratched the screen on any of my numerous phones. I hate screen protectors because they always look and feel horrible but I am super careful about the screen. That's the bit you interact with all the time and it would really bother me to have even the slightest scratch on it.
Otherwise, good job.
Was curious on how the plastic backing under the skin was holding in terms of sticking. I was thinking about doing the same thing and wanted to know how good the plastic/tape combo was at holding over time. Any lifting occur?

My first install was my learning exercise and I can't say it would have survived long term, started popping up on the edges. Just this past week I installed the football textured leather back and am very happy with it. Thus far it is not popping up anywhere but I had learned a lot from my last install. New learnings:
Have a brand new x-acto blade, works so much easier making the plastic template back
Scuff the plastic backing before applying the sticker, it comes shiny and smooth
I bought a heat gun and found out quickly the plastic back can warp easily so be careful when heating it
Still heat it though and hold for a good 30-60 seconds after
Leave a small gap around around the sticky tape after applying to the back, if you try to cut it perfect you land up with a bare edge
Install the plastic back first to the phone, leave it for a day if you can. If it pops up, heat the hell out of it and hold as strongly as you can for a minute or so ( I wore gloves)
Heat again after applying the leather back, heat really helps the application stick
If you buy the regular leather be aware it's not treated with any water resistance or proofing and any water will mark it.
If you are buying the Factory Second versions buy a couple, they are only $10 each and $2 shipping total.
The bump near the camera is from the metal plate I installed for my car mount, I couldn't fully conceal it.

Is it a formed vinyl patterned or really leather? footballs are supposed to be made of pig leather right?
I'd like to see ostrich
LOL haven't seen Ostrich yet. It's definitely textured bovine leather not plastic and looks like it is treated as I haven't had any water stains yet.
Forgot to ask, when you said your first attempt had he edges raising, were you referring to the plastic or the leather?

I agree. Even the slightest hint of a scratch and I would lose a bunch of sleep. But unlike you, I use a glass protector which feels like the phone screen.

Both but most of it was the plastic peeling off of the back of the phone. It was applied twice though and I'm certain that impacted the adhesion.
My Nexus with Cork back from Slickwraps.

Has anyone installed this without the replacement back? and if so can I get a pic?
How is the cork back holding out for you. Can you post any pics after wear and tear.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I am at work so I can't post pics but I made the jump and got one a couple weeks ago. I like the way it looks but if you tend to work on cars or have dirty hands from working, this is not for you. My cork back is filthy but not too noticeable unless you've seen it beforehand.
I'm diggin' the cork look!
