I am now searching for some leather cases for my phone, I have brought one before, but it damage within 1 month, it upset me, are there any high quality cases intruduce to me? thank you.
You could have a look at some of the Samsonite range of mobile case,s.
Best thing to do , is go to a store and try your phone with a few different case,s see what fits and what you like.

well leather cases with magnets seems to damage the internal compass of the g1. its been reported but never really confirmed if the magnets really do damage... so i avoided using leather cases with magnets.. i jsut used the pouch that came with the g1.

wow, never thought of that, the case I have does use magnets, so I guess the rest of the Samsonite range would use them too.

most cases use magnets. its recommended to take out the magnets and attach velcro, but velcro is hideous.
and there are some cases that uses a push pin... but the magnet cases are just sooo slim and nicer looking,but i am not going to take the risk of damaging my phone.
Best Ever
Best case EVER made!!!

I have been using magnetic cases ever since I can remember. I have a magnetic case for the G1 since I got mine many months ago. I have had no issues.
I got a nice dark brown leather horizontal one from Office Depot. I looked all over and didn't like the more expensive (costing) ones. Sorry it is magnetic but I haven't had a problem with it.
I'm new to the G1 so I could be wrong. Don't flame me please. I don't think the phones actually have a digital compass in them. I played with mine before I got the magnetic case. I never really got a good north unless the gps was enabled and I was on the move. Most stand alone GPSs don't have compass' either. They get their readings from movement and positions.
I purchased a pouch from PDair for my older HTC Dream and absolutely loved the quality.
I'll make the order today and once I receive it I'll give a detailed review with some photos.
Just figured I'd share!

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.
Dammit I spoke too soon. It stained the Hero orange!
I've ordered a gel/silicone case now.

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.

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.

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:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/WHITE-Gel-Ru...Q5fMobilePhonesCasesPouchesQQsalenotsupported
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 have been using a cheap ebay soft silicon case since I got my x10
and so far, it's been GREAT! except for the aesthetic part....
it's ugly as hell on my phone..
but i'm so clumsy and i've dropped my phone so many times, on carpets, on pavement, on stairs, etc. and still nothing's broken, and there's not even a crack or a scratch..
i've never used a hard case before.. and i was wondering how they are like.. in terms of 'protecting the phone'
i'm kind of worried that when i put a hard case on and drop it by mistake, the case will come off (kinda like when you sometimes drop your cheap cell phones, the battery comes off)
or that it won't be as protective as my current silicon case...
i have a sensuous white phone.. and i'm looking at these cases

and
the first one protects the front as well, but the second one looks prettier..(imo)
if anyone owns above cases, please let me know what they are like and also whether i should go for the back cover or full hard case..
thank you!!
also, what colour should i go for? i'm leaning towards red on white..
but i also like pink-white, or white-white..
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/capdase-alumor-metal-case-sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-black-p24926.htm
I've dropped it on concrete with this on and not a problem. Aluminium on the outside, rubber on the inside with a rubber lip to hold the phone in place. Nice and snug.
Haha! The BACK case has the wrong cutting for the camera xD
i use a capdase soft jacket 2,and it is great.

How about you stop being clumsy idiots and not drop your phone or just not buy good things.
I bought a black rubberized hard case just like the pink one you mentioned. It looks good in the pictures, but I really didn't like it. It ended up making the phone bulky, and the build quality was not perfect where one side was not finished completely and felt rough to the touch.
I then went with a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) case instead, and I've been very satisfied with it. TPU plastic doesn't have that stickiness of silicone but is thin and flexible enough to keep the X10's shape. On eBay there are different colors to choose from and they seem to come with and without patterns. Just do a search for 'xperia x10 tpu'. I got a no-pattern smoke colored one for a few dollars (USD) with free shipping, and I think it's great.

WOW.. what an ass...
and @xdadevelopers1222
thank you that's something i wanted to read.. i'll look into the tpu stuff..
Well, i kinda went on a case craze in the last couple days..
purchsed 3 different sets from amazon, and one from popcase, and one from BB today..
so here is the BB case. its got a nice soft rubber feel to it. case fits snug and does the job really well. downside its $$ compared to the others. 30+ bucks..
I am waiting for the 3 dollar amazon cases to arrive. will make a final decision then.. but for now, im really liking this case!!!
another thing to mention, this case fits in the official car dock sold @ sprint retail stores.(i know bc i have one)

i have this but with no kickstand ... only thing i have bad to say about it is the case its self needed some type of texture its really smooth and slick i have just about dropped my phone a few times cause the case is so slippery
have a link for that case w/kickstand?
Have the non-kick stand version of this case. Dropped my phone about 3 feet getting out of my car the other day and it saved the phone. No issues I can tell (knock on wood)
This is the one that I went with (without kickstand) as well. I tried a bunch of different cases, and I ended up sticking with this one (but mine is Sapphire Blue).
I haven't dropped it yet, but I really like this style of case. I had the Seidio Surface case on my old EVO since I got it.
Unfortunately once you take that case off and put it back on you will notice how loose it feels.

Yep, the top half is loose. It is rather annoying because you will start to notice it anytime you pick it up.
As a result I will be returning my surface. I love the case and holister, but for $35 dollars it should loosen up like it does. I purchased a TPU case to hold me over tell the offical HTC kickstand case comes out.
I'm not a fan of cases, but I have this same case on my EVO3D. I wish the kickstand flipped out from the other side so I could charge while it was standing up. I didn't know it fit with the factory car dock, maybe I will pick one of those up. I haven't dropped my phone yet, but I think it would protect it pretty. I like the matte finish to the case too.

I have heard that it does indeed fit with the car dock (at least the igrip sprint sells)
Go try it out, at the sprint stores they will let you unbox the dock and give it a feel.
So I've been looking for this case but it's always been too expensive everywhere. I found this one but I'm not familiar with this site. Has anyone ever used them before? Looks like a really good deal.

That looks pretty good. If it didn't already have the expensive cover I would try that one.
I like the way it can stand up at 2 different angles, I wish it could stand vertically though.
not endorsing brands mart, however they had the oem case for $38
not endorsing brands mart, however they had the oem case for $38. I bought one their, other electronics I bought their went yours tits up before 6 months, so caution on everything else.
I just bought this case a few hours ago from my local store here in Dubai. It fits well on my tab. But the problem is that the hinge next to the camera hole is quite narrow. Every time I close it, it touches the power button unexpectedly causing a restart. Maybe it will differ on other stocks of this item.
I'm not using the camera that much so instead of opening the cover to the right, I rotated the tab covering the lens and made it open to the left.
Be careful after a month or so you might end up with fraudulent charges on the card you use, I did.
Yea, I wasn't sure about using that site so I ordered one of the Poetic cases from Amazon. I had one on my old ASUS Transformer and liked it. Good price too.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007YUISHQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I wouldn't bother with that one. I bought this from eBay and I can't believe how practical, sturdy and well-made it is. And matches my Tab2's color
Have a look:

I ordered this case last week, so far I like it a lot. It's slimmer than Samsung version and I like the way the felt part that covers the screen doesn't end up on the outside of the case when you open it and set it down. I was worried about getting dirt on the felt and scratching my screen.
I also like that the cover latches without needing the elastic strap, although it does have one. It also stands at 2 different angles.
It does smell very plasticy, hopefully that will go away soon.

Yea, that smell is really strong at first. I can still smell it but it's not overwhelming like it was at first. Definitely a great case for the price.

Wow that's nice, what an excellent idea to attach it to the watch. I wonder if it will pop out though with any strain.
Watch firmly in the belt and will not fall out. the strap is much easier to source and looks great

Those look much nicer than the other straps in this forum for the S. The only thing is the rubber bands seem to stick out a bit on the sides, almost as if they aren't tight enough.
Any plans for a metal band? Where can we buy the leather one?

Anyone handy with sewing leather? It looks like all you need is a rubber o-ring from home depot and sew the leather straps onto it. Can probably do it with metal as well if you just bend the end pieces onto the o-ring. $40 isn't too bad, but the $20 shipping kind of tanks it for me. Plus the o-ring looks like it's too large and doesn't stretch enough, making it stick out on the sides instead of lying flush inside the groove.
Any word on any other options? That site won't show how to buy them. I know the gear s is older but it's far better than its newer generations replacements.
Any way to get a leather band for it would be greatly appreciated. Google so far had let me down accept for the cheaply made stock holster meshed with metal and "leather" bands.
Thanks everyone.
Still around?
Hi, that link doesn't work anymore but I am interested in the band. Is it still around?
