I am a new user (that didn't sound right...) and while scanning through this, and other HTC user (that sounded better) fora I have yet to come across a solid, business quality protective case for our Blackstone, other than those bulky leather flip-flops and or the silicone 'glove' protectors.
In the meanwhile I have compromised with a cheap leather pocket with a belt clip from an ebay seller, but I was (and still am) hoping to get my Blackstone into a serious, solid, presentable protective case like the ones that Griffin puts out for the iPhone series.

Can anyone shine any light on this quest? Griffin is not to release cases for our phones (heard it through the grapevine)...
I agree. Griffin cases are nice but not for our phone

Sadly, this is how most of my leather cases end up.
My wife's old phone had metal at the end of the clip, keeping the leather from separating. I've googled and found leather cases, full metal cases, and cases with plastic clips, but nothing that has the metal at the end of the clip.
Has anyone seen a case with this feature?
well
in my country I there is a case with that feature, i used that a few times ago. but it's not really fix for hermes,it actually made for SE P900 series.. but hermes can fit quite well in that case...
btw, I live in Indonesia
I found one on eBay, and I know a few people here have bought cases from the same seller. I'm just wondering about the practicality of the cover flap (see attachment) that hangs down during phone calls. Probably a shallow question, but I dunno how tough the leather might be; is it easy enough to fold the flap over, or do you guys just leave it hanging down?
you just leave it hanging down....
A top flip would be better?
Here's my venture into cheap ebay cases ..

Hi,
I bought a Krussell case from first2save on Ebay and am very impressed with it... I also have a horizontal case from the seller you mention but was never happy with the belt clip.
Regards,

leather case
The beauty with the Leather case with flip is that it virtually eliminates the annoying mis dialing so easy on the HTC HD as the case has a hard protector that makes it touch proof
I have a Krusell Orbit Flex from which you can remove the lid; works perfect
So today I'll be ordering a leather flip case for my X10.
It seems like it's down to the
"Noreve Traditional A Leather Case"
and
"Leather Case for Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 - Book Type (Snap Button)(Black/Crocodile Pattern)"
Any recommendation as to which of these are better?
I haven't heard much about the PDairs in regards to X10's but browsing through this forum for other phones it seems like PDair has some mixed reviews.
And just by looking at it, I'm not entirely sure it'll secure the phone too well.
Spaghetti leather straps appear to hold it in place.
Sort of a G string for my X10. Possibly not what i'm looking for.
The noreve on the other hand appears to grip the phone very well. But it's a few extra dollars and i'm sure shipping will be pretty high considering I have to order from the UK. (I'm located in the USA)
I'm not sure if this matters enough to affect your recommendation but
I don't care about the belt clip quality as I will strictly use this as a case in my pocket. Not on a belt.
Bulk is not a problem. I just need maximum protection with a hard flap that will insure my screen won't get broken.
Accessibility is a plus since i'd prefer to never take it out of the case.
and having a hole for the camera is a plus.
I guess both of these cases somewhat match my needs but i'm not sure which is better nor if there is an even better choice out there.
Good people of XDA! Help me decide which case to get!
you'd better check on http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_tr...case+for+xperia+X10&_sacat=See-All-Categories (fairly cheap prices and free shipping)
I have a Norève (received as a gift) about a year ago and love it.
I need a robust case which includes a screen cover; all of my previous smartphones were retired because of broken screens.
The Norève is solid and grips the phone well. My X10 has survived my usual level of phone abuse with no nicks or scratches. There is an included belt clip, a metal one is available as an option.
There is a large variety of leather choices (mine is smooth and light blue). Each case is made-to-order in France, which sucks if you're in a rush but results in something that fits the phone perfectly.
I'm very happy with my Norève and will buy cases for future phones from then too. Slow to produce and deliver but worth the wait, IMO; no complaints at all.

I've been looking at the Bobjgear Rugged case for the TF201 I just repaired. Looks really nice, similar to the Gumdrop case but vastly cheaper.. Has anyone used this case yet? I've contacted them to order one for myself, from the reviews I gather the case is excellent, provides great shock protection when dropped, and makes it feel beefy so you're not feeling like you're holding a piece of glass.
http://bobjgear.com/
Here's a link to it on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Transfo...0B04/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A3SQAI9BQY42F6
Looks rugged as hell.
I picked up the Poetic Leather Keyboard Portfolio case from Amazon several months ago after replacing my LCD / digitizer. While not quite as ruggedly designed as the Bobjgear, it's sufficient to offer significant protection over having nothing at all and my Prime/Dock lives in my backpack when not being used (read: much potential for shock damage).
The Poetic case claims to be leather -- it seems to me to be more like sprayed-on vinyl. It cost less than $18usd.
I particularly like that the portfolio case comes apart into two pieces. If you want to disconnect your keyboard and take just the tab, this portfolio will do that. The part that connects the keyboard snaps off. You're left with a fold-over portfolio that's adequate.
Got my case, have my tablet screen fixed for the millionth time (cheap piece of easily breakable crap, what a horrid design).
Anyways, the case is NICE. I don't feel like I'm carrying a sheet of glass around now, it's easy and nice to hold, fixes VERY well and pads so nicely against bumps it's unbelievable.
Definitely a solid value.
NOTE: I now have my little daughter around so you might hear random outbursts.
I only have two cases for the HTC One Max currently. Both are very popular. There's the Otterbox Commuter case as seen in this video and the Incipio DualPro. I purchased it from a retail Verizon Wireless store.
The Commuter is a little bit wider, taller, and thicker than the DualPro. It feels really tough, and I'm sure would protect this device for the highly active user. The port covers will deter most dust, debris, liquid form going directly in them.
I have to note that out of all of the Commuter cases I've owned, this is the hardest one to fit on the device. The rubber barely wants to align with the plastic. It's not a deal breaker. Most people would probably be turned off by the size more than anything else. The plastic does allow the case to slide in and out of pockets a little bit easier than if it was all rubber. Only draw back would be grip while holding the case, however it isn't that slippery if your hands are dry.
Available in black or glacier currently. Just like the Defender series case. Retail cost is $44.95.
At the time of the video, I couldn't find these on Otterbox's site. That's changed:
