Similar to my other thread, what about the case, do you guys found any good case that you are going to use with the Shift?
New Case available
I have just found out that there is a new case for Htc Shift, a well known leather company, the down side for me is i am actually looking for a case that will flip open so the Shift stay inside the case all time. here is the link: http://www.pielframa.net/htc_shift.asp
A new case here : http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=yJp5pS7Ou3I
Since when do you have a shift Mr McDoPDA?
I like the one that comes with it

I second that :-D
Although a case in a different (more personalized) colour would be nice.
Where can I buy the case that McDoPDA just showed?
It looks quite nice although I personally prefer not to keep additional SIM cards in the same case (in case of theft etc.)

I don't care for the hanging style case with colored stripes in the video, but the other case.....
The HTC SHIFT Horizontal Leather case is more of what I am looking for.
It looks like site is not for retail purchasing

great! the HTC SHIFT Horizontal Leather case (first link) is what i am looking for, now my shift can stay in the case all time without me taking it out to use it.

I have e-mail them ans ask whether we can get the case individually, if that's not possible, depends on how many people here want that case, I can negotiate a wholesale deal and sell it back to you all. Now just need to wait for their reply first.
Count me in for one.
I am not too sure whether an enclosed case is a good idea. My shift gets quite hot and has crashed before now due to everheating. I wonder whether thats the reason it is designed to be removed from the pouch. I have used either an Orbit or a laptop for a few years and I am a bit self conscious about the standard case that comes with the shift as it looks a little bit like a ladies purse. Maybe, I need to get a bit more in touch with my feminine side.

LOL I was thinking the same thing about the pouch case. To me also it looks to much like a ladies purse or in my case "a man's bag"
That is the main reason I am looking for replacement not because the orginal case is not good quality it is but because it reminds me of a womans hand bag.
Hi I would be interested in the horizontal one, for the right price?
HTC SHIFT Horizontal Leather case
Hi ALL, I have contacted them and got the reply, they can't sell it to individual, so the only solution is wholesale, minimun order is 50 unit, each will cost 35 pounds without shipping. If there are enough people who want this case, i can arrange the wholesales, otherwise i guess we will just have to wait....
so drop your e-mail down if you wish to buy one and we will see
Hi!
I'll be interested but to tell you the truth I would also consider a case that can take the charger and usb hub as well.....
anything out there?
I'd like that case as well.
New Proporta Case for Shift
Hi all, just want to inform you that Proporta is now offering a new case for Shift, it's flip style so i have place my order on it already, will report back after i get it, here is the link:
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4026&t_mode=des
I have one right now... but it's a cheap one from Ebay. When I first bought it, it fit real nice and tight but now over a month or two it's getting loose and slides around a bit.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for the following:
1. It doesn't expose the metal part of the camera on the back cover.
2. Fits snug on the phone indefinitely (is this possible?).
... and if possible one that isn't really sticky.
Thanks!
Silicon case!
I was bought one silicon case on HTC STORE http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956 and is great. Cost 20$.
hi, i have a clear one of these, think i would buy the grey next time. its also a cheap ebay item. its very snug, not as flexible (which makes removal a bit of an effort) and nowhere near as sticky as some silicon cases.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Soft-Silicone...h=item110357833639&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
hope this helps
Yeah i bought one of those that bl1nky recommended. The only thing i can say is that the fit around the bezel edge is not as good as other 'softer' silicon covers.
In my case particularly, the right hand edge is badly formed and seems to pull away from the HD bezel.
In addition i find that locating and using the power switch to be troublesome and it's this that i find most annoying.
My personal quest for the perfect case continues....
Thanks for the suggestions... I'm also in the search of a perfect case. You wouldn't think it would be this hard!
I am using this from boxwave. The fit is nice and not sticky. I went with the clear one.

They look the same from what I can tell in the pictures... but you never know on Ebay it could be a cheaper knock-off of the original. I don't know because I haven't purchased the one from Ebay. I will be getting mine today or tomorrow from Boxwave and I'll take some pics of it and stuff and update here.
Is it the non-transparent one with small camera hole? (I'm in the boarding shcool where ebay is locked) If so, it's good, but rather thick, good for protection, but will make your HD thicker (around 16mm). If not, just remove this post.

Ok so I got the case and have been using it for two days now. It is pretty damn nice actually. It fits well, not too tight and not too loose either. It's not sticky like the cheap Ebay one I have so I can easily slide it in and out of my pocket. I got the smoke color. It's clear and shiny so it suits the HD well. I like being able to see the phone through the case as well.
can try this silicon case from Capdase
CW any pics mate ??
i got the silicon case from ebay and its not a tight fit.come off very easily. am now on the hunt for another case. there is a case for the iphone which is a plastic case but a rubberised finish.

The silver hard case with kickstand and the pink plaid hard case are available to purchase under accessories. Stores are less likely to have them (ours has never gotten any). The gel like cases are not yet available anywhere.

Can you please post some pictures of your gel case? I am very pleased t-mobile has finally started making these cases available.
I am sure with the case being gel that it is nice and thin.
Does your case protect the front of the phone? Is it 1(?) piece?

Better?
Yes that was written from the phone w=1 lol. are the pics in the first post pics of the case?
From the way that the case looks like in the pics above, I must say that it looks great. Does'nt seem like there is too big, if not any, of a gap between the top and bottom half of the phone.
Only problem I had with this case that I tried on in the store was that it's very difficult to slide the keyboard out fully because of the tabs. I've tried this with the gel case and the clear case. This sucks a lot because it's going to scratch the phone over a long period of time.

i like it a lot. the sides are hard but the rest is gel. There is a slight very slight gap between the 2 peices but it looks good. I like how they didnt cut holes for the camera volume and lock button yet they are stll easy to push.

I would have gotten the case but that was my major concern about the case. As of now I have it running naked with the belt clip from the T-Mobile store. I ordered the Zagg Invisible Shield and will just put it on and leave it at that.
Looking for a case for my TF, want only to cover back and sides of the tablet.
And I want it to be non slippery, there are lots of these for cellphones but
where can I find it for the TF?

I haven't seen one yet. Someone else may have, but in my experience, it's hard to make silicone that big without either tearing or stretching pretty quickly. What about a bumper like the iPhone 4, where it only wraps around the sides, but the rear section of it is thick enough that the back of the tablet doesn't touch the table when it's set down? I think it would relieve some of the stress from the silicone, and I could use a stretchier mix to keep it tight. I'd kind of like that, and if enough people are interested I can give it a shot, I don't make cases for a living or anything, but I have some friends with a 3D prototyper and a whole bunch of industrial AB silicone. (Yes, I have weird friends.)
That sound quite interesting, I could be interested in one of those.
When using it now without a case I think it's kinda slippery.
I think one of those would give a better grip of the tablet.
What about dropping it, do you think the silicone will absorb the drop?

As much as it could, obviously. The problem is that it won't be much thicker than a silicone case for a phone, but the device is much heavier. Hence, more inertia. I'll grab some chunks of different mixes and test them by dropping a Transformer analog on them. Just FYI, I'm actually using a really large(and wide) rubber band right now to protect my TF's corners/edges. My belt buckle and watch tend to contact the sides of the TF every once in a while, so it keeps that pretty "gold steel" bezel from scratching. I'll see if I can figure out where I got it from in the meantime.

Great find. A quick look on ebay shows Xoom silicone cases for as low as $5 shipped. Hopefully more suppliers we be offering these soon and prices for the a Transformer silicone sleeve will drop similarly.
I'm looking for a case too and found this (it's for netbooks?) but would this be ok for the transformer too? I want to use it for tablet + dock. Are there better suggestions?

If that's anything like the silicone case I got for my PSP, you don't want it. Far too thin to provide any real protection, doesn't fit snugly, looks misshapen and ugly because it's near impossible to get it perfectly straight, and the thing is a dust and lint / hair magnet like you wouldn't believe.
I literally haven't used it at all since the first time I tried it.

Got my Sikai silicone case today.
It looks really nice BUT, it doesn't provide a snug fit.
I'm scared that it will slip out of the cover. Each four sides are very loose,
only the corners offers a snug fit.
If @msticninja have any questions lets here them, I want to help you
create that cover you talked about.

They were available on eBay before the P6800 were even officially released. I got one and it fits very well, but using the Samsung book case now.
There is lot of them there for very cheap:

How flexible would you say this case is? I'm deciding between this one and a silicon case myself. I'd like something more flexible than a plastic hard case, but not as floppy as silicone.

dont worry about that，quality really good. cant be break easy，and feel nice when you hold it，smooth put on face.
I have the Smasung OEM case and it works beautifully....for me I think covering the screen is more important than covering the aluminium back. The first perceived issue with the OEM case "flap" is really not an issue at all as mine has never flapped open becuase of the way it is carried. In edition, it can be positioned in either landscape or portrait mode. It is a good idea to keep the rubber grip edge on the case clean so it continues to grip any surface. This device is such a beautiful design that I find the Samsung case compliments it very well.

TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane, it's a different material from silicone.
Generally firmer and has a more rigid structure.
