I've noticed that there are a few companies that design solid cases for iphones and the Touch HD but not the Touch Pro 2.
Has anyone come across any?
The leather cases don't impress me, I'd much rather have a case like all those that are designed for the Touch Pro and HD.
I , too , am interested to know if anyone has seen these. I am looking for the same type of case. TIA.
now there are. silicon, aluminiom, solid rubber etc. check ebay or pdashop or brando
I have ordered one from china, via ebay, waiting for it to arrive in the post, it costed US $4. Its the hard black plastic very popular for the iphone, hope it works well for the touch pro 2, the design accommodates the slide.

it looks as if u would have to swing open the case to use the keyboard...I would prefer a peace that snaps on the top and a separate piece to snap on the back...having to open a case provides that errie momemt of vulnerability...
I got a TP2 at Telus last week and they put a hard case on it - two pieces. Only branding I can find on it is H/Vienna. Works well, has all the proper holes and such where they should be.
Wife's TP2 did something funny though - the touch screen won't work when we put the hard case back on the screen side of the phone.

I doubt there's any TP2 silicone case in the market yet (at least on ebay )!
I just bought/received a mybat black Shield Protector Case for HTC Touch Pro2 (Sprint & Verizon) I am a sprint tp2 user and this thing fits like a charm not as bulky as i expected. i bought out of curiousity. it does not touch the keys even in tilt, I have fat sausage link fingers and at full tilt the extra bulk KIND of gets in the way (top # row) not enuff to complain just mention, im not tryin to persuay anyone to buy just wondering would it be safe to use ive had it all day and only on for a couple hours in fear the these plastic cases are dangerous to my tp2 oh heres a pic. (it doesnt touch itself on the side either ive only noticed a lil itty bitty miniscule rub behind the screen on the factory plastic skin/or whatever it is i never removed it)

It takes a little time for the good cases to be designed & produced and this phone has only been out for less than 2 months in the US.
I've gone with Seidio for both my old Mogul and for my new TP2.
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/3589.htm
The case is slim so it doesn't add much bulk and the holster keeps the screen face in to protect it while it is on your belt.

Ya, I been waitin for Seidio to put out their Innocase for the Tilt2, they have it for the Verizon TP2 but that's it so far... I've used it on my old Tilt, Treo650 b4 that and after seein mine on my old Tilt my friend's all got em for their Fuze's and iPhones... They have the best cases that I've seen, especially when you use the holster w/ it. Only case I like more are the Vaja cases but I don't think they'll make a case you can use the kb w/ for the tp2...

I have something almost identical for my Tmo Touch pro 2, but the zoom bar is exposed. Got 2 on ebay for $10 for both, kb is easily accessible, has the rubberized hard plastic and doesn't add too much.
Had the same on my Nokia 5800 and they protected the phone from several long falls to the floor, never a mark on the phone.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I got the PDAir case for my 8925/Tilt:

Looks like the Tilt 2 version is coming:

Hello,
I've been searching for a pouch case for the HD, like the ones from Diamond and Touch Pro.
Unfortunately there's nothing like that case. Those cases are so good on keeping the pdas tight inside...
With the help of this forum, I got a few pouch cases similar to the ones for the Diamond and TP.
-A1/A2 and A5 EASECASE Custom-Made Leather case, http://stores.ebay.co.uk/WiWayCN_EA...QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ1062653018QQftidZ2QQtZkm
-Carrymobile Leather Case for HTC Touch HD/T8282 - Pouch Holder Type, http://www.carrymobile.com/scripts/main/viewitem-O2TOHDLCKT1BK-TOHD.html
- Leather Case for HTC Touch HD T8282 - Vertical Pouch Type, http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000495&products_id=13696#thumb
Can anyone can give me an advice and tell me witch one is better?
Aside from the design, is there any difference between A1, A2 and A5 Easecase??
It's seems that the cases from all three brands don't secure enough the HD inside. Am I wrong? Is there a winner ?
As anyone have the carrymobile case? If yes, it's possible to plug the headphones when the HD is inside??
Can try Krusell.
I bought from Boxwave. It is custom made for HD and fits very well. I am very happy with the service too.
Palur
I got the PdAir one. It is great quality and I think is the best of the three.
I like the elastic sides and it has the best look. It is padded so the protection is OK.

Post your findings, I'm still undecided.
Any ideas which one(s) might have a belt clip?
I am looking for a case that is like a silicone shell or hard rubber (so the phone is well protected (dropping/scratching concerns) -- but also has a way you can clip it to yourself..
I have the PDAir one... but looking for something better.
Hi,
does anybody know the delivery time of PDAair pouch?
i ordered one today and want to know when it will get delivered..im from the uk?
thanks
***THIS CASE DOES NOT FIT TO TOUCH HD*** Just leaving some part of my original post with a picture to prevent anyone else going for the same case.
This is an iphone case originally and you can find some more pictures and info at Crumpler UK website. Internal dimesnions are: 11.5 x 6.1 x 1.2 cm .

I bought a pouch from ebay for £3.99. Delivered from Hong Kong to the UK in 4 days, which was pretty good. It is a nice leather pouch and am very happy with it. Got another screen protector with it too.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leather-Case-...ZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trsidZp1742.m153.l1262
I got one like THIS on ebay. It's like the one that came with my Elf.
Definitely better than the felt one that came with the phone.
I like it because it has better drop tollerance than the felt one because it has that rib around the edge. It's also a thicker and a tougher material than the felt one.
PDAir
I ordered teh PDAir and got it within 5 days. (Hong Kong - Holland)
It is a great pouch and I like it's quality and the hard shell front. No fear of damaging the screen. Super!
Piel Frama
I have the black Piel Frama. It is hand made and very classy...and very expensive...but it's sooooooo beautiful! It protects the HD very well. The only place which could get damaged when dropping it is where the stylus is.
You also get a clip to carry it on your belt if you like (I don't use that).
Cheers!
You can use the Covertec Cases...
I am currently using the Universal PDA (Large) one, and it fits perfectly, infact there is a little additional room, which will come in handy, when I get the silocone cover for the phone... fingers crossed...

God those are ugly. Why would one go out of ones way to buy a beautiful device and the stick that on it?
what would you guys recommend as a decent protective yet slimline case for this device, preferably allow you to use the device whilst it's in the case. I've ordered the D2 but am deciding on what case to get

Invisishield
Wouldn't invisishield still require a case? It looks like the screen would still be very susceptible to dings, etc. that would kill the handwriting recognition.
I ended up ordering this:
http://www.blueunplugged.com/p.aspx?p=138216
and one of the silicone skins above. Got the leather case on me now. Pretty nice and a tight fit. Right side of it covers the end call button a bit but other than that it's all right. Would prefer if the leather was a bit thinner on the screen as it feels like it's recessed now. Regardless of that though I can still hit everything I want to on the screen so that's fine. The flip lid is hard and solid (must have thick card or something in it) so the screen is protected easily when it's shut. Also comes with space for memory cards and other plastic cards. Supplied with a removable screw on belt clip too! Doesn't add much bulk or weight to the phone and slips in nicely into my jeans pockets.
The best silicon cases are made by Capdase. I got my case for my HD a month ago. I checked, they don't have any yet but I am sure it will be available soon. What I will do is get a cheap replacement for now and wait for Capdase to come out with one. The one I have is non slippary and dust proof and and and it slips into my pocket nicely. Other silicon cases sticks to cloths and it's hard to get out of your pocket. It's not cheap, mine cost around $80 HKD which is around 6.50 GBP or 8 Euros. Hope this helps.

Nope.. I had one protecting my Diamond for 7 months... didnt effect ANYTHING. I dropped it a few times as well.
The IS is indeed very good
I have only seen it on a number if iPhones but it is as strong as they claim
We even tried the compass/knife test and scratched the hell out of it...or so we thought
It's very durable and did not damage the phone at all - Only downside is by the time it comes out (unless it is already), we'll all probably have a few light markings on it - no matter how well we keep it.
Something to note is the TD1 had a horrible procedure to apply it because of its curves/or lack of them ... I feel the TD2 will be much easier but lets see
Received my silicone case from xell_uk today ordered on the 30th April. Have to say it's a lot better than I thought it would be! Fits the D2 perfectly. Nice sized cut outs so you can easily access the ports and stylus and is snug and secure. Buttons are slightly more accessable as well compared to the other leather case I ordered. Device does look quite neat in this jacket too!

and I bought it with other 2 color (b&w) cost 90 NTD. (ABOUT 2~3 USD)

I've ordered my IS. Should arrive in a few days. http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
I don't get it. Isn't the screen the most important part of the device? Why protect the back and sides only?
Can someone recommend a solution to this?
FYI all: I got the silicone case, and it DOESN'T fit perfectly around the device. On the left the case is a bit loose, so you can see the device peeking... this can be seen in pictures of the silicone casing everywhere. So be aware...
All the HTC devices I've had (XDA. XDAII, Universal, Athena, Touch Cruise) have been capable of being used safely and snugly in good leather (usually Piel Frama), but none these had a slide out KB
I've seen the Kaiser clip-in solutions on the web, but I would like something with 'Bounceability'.
Any words of comfort out there?

LOL. I have been looking at those too. I thought they might get scratched as well and ending up looking a bit rough. And the cost isn't exactly cheap right? Also, do you think a clip on will work for the slide out keyboard?
^yes, a clip on would work great! I've been using a Seidio clip for my Hermes (which has a keyboard). It's one of the best for ease of use & very good device protection!

Thanks for the tip, I will look into this and see if it will work when the TP2 comes out. I am sure there will be a few nice cases when they start dispatching the TP2. Which hopefully will be very soon.
It comes with a case in the retail box. It is more a pouch, the TP2 slide in from the side.

Mine does. The problem is that you have to take the device out to use it, including answering calls or charging, maybe someone with the steady hand of a brain surgeon would be happy to do this on a daily basis, but I'd prefer to have my expensive toy safely and snugly enveloped in fine leather for all day to day use.
Agree, it should be covered like a baby all the time!

Well that's certainly true - it looks good. But it lacks a belt clip, so I don't think I'll use it that often. I don't think the case (or pouch, more like) will fit in my pants pocket and I'm sure as hell not going to carry along a purse for my phone
The Krusell thing looks nice, but it's rather expensive and I don't want to be having the thing encased forever. Just a simple pouch like the one supplied will do, but I would definately like one with a clip. Worked well for my P4350Herald, which is in prime condition after more then 2 years of use.
And also: I noticed there's no keychain attachment possible on the Rhodium. Bummer =( It saved my Herald once from being stolen out of my hands on a trainstation
Yeah I like the case that comes with the box, but as someone has pointed out, you have to take it out whenever you want to use it. It's fine at home or inside a building. But if you are walking on the road / tram / bus, it can be quite annoying
Piel Frama ( http://www.pielframa.com ) say they will have a case for the TP2 in about 15 days

Can you get full use while it's still in the case (charging, volume control, etc.)? the Piel Frama one let you use the keyboard in the case as well. I've ordered one on the basis that the extra price over another type will count as insurance
After trying several cases/pouches including the official C300 leather case (too bulky) and a cheapo faux leather pouch that marked the white casing of the phone I have finally found this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GENUINE-L...ches?hash=item3ca4b454a3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Its a pretty tight fit but you can yank the tab to pull the phone out.

Ouch, hope you can find something that you like!
I have been in search of a good case too, and I think I'm going to go with a foof pouch from Foof Shop. Another user of these forums got it and said it fits perfectly in an iPhone/iTouch size. Just a suggestion for you, if you like the style.
It's a shame my favorite company, Switcheasy, is staying Apple only
Waiting for beyzacases myself - their diamond one was superb.
I'm using a large Luna pouch by Krusell. Paid about £12 for it on a buy it now from ebay and would happily recommend.
It's a good quality soft leather case and while it wasn't purpose built for the hero, it is as you can see a pretty snug fit

I can lightly hold case upside and gently shake without the hero falling out, but at the same time I don't need to wrestle the case to remove the phone. Only downside was the quality control sticker left a sticky mark on the leather when I peeled it off (which washed away with a little liquid soap).
Wish I had a black Hero. The white one gets marked without trying.
I might get my girlfriend to make me one of these:

thanks; would you please confirm whether you got the Large or the Extra Large Luna, please?
MF recommends the Extra Large, for the Hero, but you mentioned only the Large.
Looking at the sizes there's only a few mm in it; I really don't want another pouch that the phone falls out of though
thanks again...
Foof is Ideal
I recommended the foof case, and the more I read with problems with other cases the more I'm glad I use this one. The interior is white fleece absolutely no chance of staining and great protection for the device. I've still heard all my notification sounds through the case and the black and white patterned cloth looks great. Its also washable.
thanks; I love the foof cases: I was going to get one for my MBP, but my wife made me something very similar herself, just as good (or better .
Which foof case exactly did you get for the Hero? How snug a fit is it?
thanks again.

thanks again...

Just a large...
Bought it from these guys:

thank you both.
I got a "Golla" case from the Carphone Warhouse, it's a nicely padded thing, never had one before only £9.99 - bargain
I got one of these:

It fits really well and is cheap as hell. It also makes it large enough (and increases the drag coefficient enough) so that it feels secure in my old G1 pouch.
I need to find a way to carry my phone around, especially at work. I work in a bus garage, my work is manual so I don't want the phone to be in any pocket as moving around can get annoying and I might hit my leg somewhere and damage the phone. But also in regular clothes, sometimes this phone is just to much for my jeans.
For me, finding the perfect way to carry this huge phone is the most challenging thing with it, but the size of this phone is my only negative point so I'll find a way around that.
From eBay:
1. Case cover with Holster with belt clip and kickstand:http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-3-Case-Cover-Protector-Rigid-Slim-Holster-Kick-Stand-/171138781224?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item27d8aa9028
2. Heavy Duty vertical belt clip pouch : http://www.ebay.com/itm/HEAVY-DUTY-VERTICAL-BELT-CLIP-POUCH-HOLSTER-CASE-FOR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-2-N7100-/360649119899
3. Another Holster Belt clip : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-Rugged-Hybrid-case-cover-with-Belt-Clip-Holster-Bundle-/181230218883?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item2a3229ae83
So what are your opinons on these 3? Hows the china stuff with your experience? Should I be worried the belt clip break in half after 2days?
I've tried about 4 different china cases over the years....and 3/4 were garbage...the only decent one I had on my G2. The fit is usually too small/incorrect and i've cosmetically damaged phones in the past using them. Like the old saying goes "Ya get what you pay for." I'm by no means rich and like to save a buck when I can, but do you want to put your $600 baby in a $5-10 carriage?
1st one: I don't like that I don't see and rubber material in the case for shock absorption, just that little fuzzy "velvet" stuff. Bet it will scuff sides of phone too, had one similar before.... PASS
2nd one looks like the case for my leatherman. PASS
3rd one looks like a trident knockoff, but has the rubber/hard plastic combo that seems to work best. One thing I can't see is how big of a "lip' sticks out above screen. This is important for face-down falls. Without a good rubber lip like the Trident/otterbox cases, you WILL have damage.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out....
I've had mixed results with China cases over the years. I was suprised by the one I got for my Note 2. It was cheap, durable, and did exactly what I wanted. With my original Note I went through 2 or 3 cases before I got a good one.

Does the s-view work on this case?

The one that i am using now was from my Note 2 and it's been a year and it's still just as good. It's fits perfectly even with a back case on my Note 2 and now a bumper case on my note 3. I'm using the brown colour.....you may want the black

The majority of cases probably originate in China. I ordered #3 from your list and it should be here soon, so I can take pictures and let you know about the quality. From another auction, it shows that the lip that surrounds the screen is rather large, almost as much as an Otterbox Defender. I saw the same case on Amazon for $20, and there are a few sellers that have them less than $10 on eBay. I've also ordered a Spigen NeoHybrid because it offers the protection I need, but hopefully the corners won't pop off and crack the case near the charging port like my S4 case did.

Please, let me know how it turns out.
I'm also very interested to know how well the belt clip holds as well as the build quality of the material use for the belt clip itself, something always overlooked in product description and reviews.

I have one coming in next week hopefully. If no one has done it, I'll post a quick review. I think people should hold if they can when buying this case from China. Let other experiment to see if it works correctly.
