What cases are you chaps investing in to protect your Heros?
Have not seen any yet. Not sure if I should get one or not I did not get one for the Diamond and that is in great nick
New mobiles make me nervous...........
If you have the white... with Teflon coating and a good screen protector I would imagine that a case isn't necessary.
You haven't witnessed my ability to juggle mobiles and drop things out of pockets onto concrete
Also, when locking onto GPS signals, putting phones on window ledges and watching in horror as they drop 30 foot to paving slabs.....oh yes.....
Been there....done that!

i will be keeping a firm grip on my hero....
my old diamond was always trying to jump out of my hand
Mine will reside in my pocket, next to my homekeys, some coins and lint.
I like to put mine in a belt case while at work as I'm always running about. Apart from that a good screen protector normally does the trick
Soon available at www.noreve.com (high quality cases)
I'v tried all the high street stores, and nothing, 99% of mobile shops don't even know what the HTC hero is and 95% of them only sell iPhone crap and nothing else, the worlds getting taken over by sheeps with iPhones
Original HTC Pouch
I bought this:

...and unfortunately, it's crap. My white Hero has now some black parts and looks already old.
So, don't buy this if you have a white Hero. No problem whit a black one, I guess

I got this for free (http://www.handtec.co.uk) and so far no smudges. I tried rubbing some white plastic (NOT my Hero) on the inner leather lining, and with considerable effort I can rub off some black colour. After cleaning the white plastic piece it was bright white again, maybe you want to give it a try.
The case is a bit tight, though. On the other side, the phone can't fall out even if the magnetic latch opens accidentally ;-)
Overall, I'd give it 7/10 (good but not great).
Foof case for my Hero
At the moment I'm using a Foof case with a sherpa fleece inner. Its surprisingly protective and fits perfectly. Snug enough not to slip out but easy to remove. Got the ipod touch size from http://foofshop.com/ and they have great choices for different colours.
I've got this pouch:
http://www.krusellcases.com/uk/p_krusell_product.aspx?i=179446
Just what I wanted so far, it protects the phone and is rather slim. I didn't want more bulk in my pants pocket. The Hero fits quite ok, maybe it's a wee bit too wide, but not much.
Edit:
I'm gonna return the Pouch to the shop. The inner part (as well as the exterior) is made of a leather-like matherial in black color. The first days it was ok, but it has started to leave black stains on my white Hero. I was able to remove them really easily but I'm not happy anymore. I'll go check if its a defect in my pouch or all these models leave stains. I don't recommend it anymore.

Why would you post this here, rather than the thread about batteries?
I do not have a Hero yet, but I do plan on getting on when it is released in the US. Anyway...
Have you guys ever heard of SwitchEasy? They make cases for the iPhone and they are my favorite case maker, and I was planning to get a case from them as I was originally planning to buy an iPhone about a year ago. However, I did buy one for my girlfriend about a week ago and she LOVES it. I waited on buying that iPhone and out came the Hero.
I recently sent them an email to see if they would ever consider ever making a phone case for the Hero. Unfortunately, that was about 2 days ago and have not had a reply...
Perhaps if we can get enough people to send them emails so that they can realize how many people have Heros (and provided you like their cases ) we can get them to manufacture some cases and add a bit more selection to the slim pickings so far.
I am not trying to promote their products or site in any way, but if you like the style of their cases like I do, I would definitely like to see a case from them for the Hero. Was just wondering if we can do a group effort here.
If this post violates any rules that this forum has, please delete or mod it. Thank you!
I'm using the HTC belt holster that I got for my Diamond. It's a nice tight secure fit. The Diamond used to wobble around in it.
I've seen these on ebay - I like slimmer cases/pouches for carrying in the pocket - has anyone tried them?

I'm hoping that Beyza come out with one, I've got their Diamond one and it's perfect:
http://www.beyzacases.com/pd-htc-to...vsl16-vertical-leather-case-vintage-brown.cfm
My mates got the first one for his Touch Diamond 2 and my HTC hero doesn't fit inside it very well, too tight.
I've seen this as well - looks nice. It's a generic one though, so don't know how well it would fit. I'd much rather get a dedicated one (Beyza hopefully) though.

i really doubt they would be a good fit for the hero and ive heard that the hero rubs on the inside of them resulting a smudged look on the hero
I've got one similar to the second link, bought from the same seller HERE. My Hero fits nicely inside it and delivery from Hong Kong was quick.

Do you have a white Hero and if so does that pouch stain it at all? I've tried a couple of pouches that stained mine.
no sorry - it's a black G2.
I've just received a gel case with protector from here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180415010020
Really happy with it, and the screen protector is actually really really decent (i.e. fits the whole glass screen) and applied easily with only one tiny tiny mark that I can hardly notice. Not tested over the long term, but I think I paid 30p extra over the case to get this.
yeah ive got a gel case also, the screen protector extra is a must!!
together theyre great at protecting my phone and extremely durable
only thing with that is the phone wont fit in the dock with a case like this on. nice though.
do the cases scratch the back side?
Nah it doesn't scraTch it. I've had the gel case on my hero for around 3 months now and the back is in pristine condition
this is the case i use, its the best one i have had yet, it comes with a pretty decent screen protector aswell. Its the hardest, most rigid skin i've had but its still flexible enough that it won't crack or split and it much better quality than the flexishield ones (i've tried one of those aswell). My phone takes some serious hammer and it still looks brand new after 6 months! lol...which even surprises me.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/capdase-soft-jacket-2-xpose-htc-hero-black-p22496.htm
There is a lot to choose from on the mobile fun website. Heres one like the beyza one
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/capdase-smart-pocket-for-htc-hero-p22635.htm
The Capdase Soft Jacket 2 Xpose is great.
finally got one of these ebay "soft silicon gel" transparent cases. looks ok, feels ok... no complaints really, I think it will protect my Hero just fine and isn't bulky. only 5$ including shipping
I'm using the Zagg invisibleSHIELD. I've used this on quite many of my phones, and it's great. Protects only against scratches, but on the other side, I've never been a phonecase guy, and scratches is my main phone problem. Or I'd rather say; WAS!
Capdase Smart Pocket
I should be getting my hero at the weekend thanks to an upgrade with t-mobile and I really like the look of the Capdase smart pocket for it.
I've had a look on mobilefun (linked above) and also found another site that lists it called vinko's treasures. Neither of them seem to have it in stock.
Does anyone know anywhere that stocks these cases or of any similar pouch cases that are designed to fit the hero?

I was using a gel case up to about 2 or 3 months ago, but it started to yellow quite badly. I stopped using it, and my Hero has been fine without it.

Why don't try something which is in good quality
I bought a case from ebay before, It is attractive because it sells in a lower price,
but seems I was unlucky, the case damage within about 2 month - loose sewing and can't fit to the charger hole
I try serveal online store, which I would highly recommend to you is PDair,
you may check this out:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000759
They keep the quality well and the price can be acceptable
I bought the HTC case for now. Seems to protect the phone just fine if not the best fitting case going. I've found another site that stocks the Capdase one called MobiMega (can't post links just yet) and the price works out quite cheap too. Might have to get one ordered up to compare.
I have tried the search but couldnt find anything about these.
So has anyone tried this case???
I have tried the original, a pouch and a hard rubber case but i wasnt fully happy with them. this however looks sorta like what im after.
Im just wondering if anyone has one and what they think of it? has it lasted a while or does it fall apart when you touch it??
Thanks
looks like what im after and cheep too, shame its for lefties as it opens the wrong way!
but its the right way for the phone flip, i was looking for one in the market today but couldnt find one, my mate got one for his 5800 and it seems really good, but his was cheaper on ebay lol
TP2 case
Not sure about protocol for selling stuff on here but I'm a saddler and have made a few phone cases for people.
I've got a TP2 myself and have done one for another owner as well.
I've attached a couple of pics of the miniture handbag style case I did for my wife and a semi completed case for a customers touch pro 2.
More pictures of other work available, if anyone wants to see let me know.
I keep a range of leathers in stock at most times from the softer 2mm hides upto the very best quality English bridle leathers and prefer to use dyed through leather as opposed to the cheaper tooling leather that is then stained to suit.
You can get me on 07988-518176 or [email protected]
Cheers
Jon
Apologies if this should be in a different topic.
that is some very good work!!!! but unfortunately its not what im after
well ive orderd one, so ill let everyone know what i think of it when it arrives
Hey mate, any info on the case?
whoops i forgot about this!
I didnt put it on till a long while after i got it because i just couldnt be botherd LOL
but once its in you cant get it out without breaking the tabs on the case lol
the stylus is still ok to get to. Im happy with it for now with it being my 4th case
the side with 1 tab broke on me yesterday so ive got 2 useless cases.
dont bother with this case people, the tabs are a nightmare!!
hi all,
I work at a restaurant, and at work today I saw this guy with an x10 and a hard black case, atleast it looked that way it could of been soft plastic but it fit so well to the phone I doubted that. anyways the case was superb, covering the hard buttons but clearly showing the markings of the buttons on the case. I never got a chance to ask him, so has anyone reengineering or have a case like this or similar?? thanks a lot!

You can give it a try on eBay. I found some there. But can't buy because I'm from Romania and the transport is almost the same as the cost of the product. They are not expensive. I've made an order from a firm in Romania that has them from silicone. When I get it, I'll post an opinion.
seen some on ebay.
theyre not completely hard plastic, but not silicone either..
I think they were called "jelly" (even tho it's not anything like jelly)
just look for X10 case, and order them from lower price to more expensive.
I found them on the 3rd page or so.

Hi guys
I was using this phone naked with two glass screen protectors from nilkin and after three months both had cracked.
Now i bought another thicker glass protector and a case. Problem is i'm still not a fan of the case, as thin as it is.
So just wondering if anyone use like skins, like vinyl wraps? Do you guys think that can increase grip and minimise the bulk?
Any recommendations for brands? In particular I have the dual, and not just the normal one.. Really cuts down the amount of choices I have..
Thanks
I ordered a dbrand carbon fiber skin for the back panel. It's helped for my old HTC M8 and my old Z2.
Cool thanks ☺
Try this out.

Yeah i guess.. if we´re talking abput the same phone... Try to go to the page again, and search for Sony Ericsson Z3. It should be the same phone.
Lux-case . dk
Hope you´ll find some answers for your problems.
Kind regards.
What about something like this?

FYI dbrand presently has a 20% discount sale on.

Not there. I asked the store and they confirm not having a case or cover for the D6633 in their portfolio.
Anyway, after nearly having given up finding a back cover that actually fits I came across the Nillkin Matte Textured Super Shield Hard Case Cover for Sony Xperia Z3 sold by Gadgetwear. It fits the Z3 dual perfectly and has a very good grip.
I ended up getting the j&d slim one. It looks like it offers zero drop protection but I don't have a daily urge to break the phone any more for its slipperiness.
