I'm looking for a leather pouch case for my Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 and I was able to locate one online.
http://www.thinktouchpro2.com/htc-touch-pro-2-cases-2048.html
However, the site lists the case is compatible with the Tmobile, International, Verizon, Sprint versions. Should I be concerned that the phone won't fit snug within the case? Has anyone ordered anything from this site?
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Dan
It's a $27 pouch.
I think you'll be okay.
Also, sounds reasonably legit:

I had a vertical pouch once... much like this, no flap. Nice and convenient, yes, easier to take the phone in and out but more than once while running to catch the bus, the taxi, away from the police or the crazy girlfriend with the baseball bat, my Wing would jump out and fall on the ground. Of course I cannot leave a fallen phone behind, so at great personal inconvenience (and risk) I've stopped to collect it. Now I won't tell you what happened once the police and the angry girlfriend caught up with me
But I will tell you that during LoveFest in San Francisco I ended up losing the phone. It jumped out of the case, of course I was highly intoxicated... It turned out to be my excuse for forking out the cash for a Tilt. And a horizontal case with a magnetic button flap.
So, in brief, I wouldn't really recommend this...
This one works great
Best part is its easily available at any local Target cheap and it looks good. Stays in the case nice and firm if you have a Ghost Skin or Invisibleshield on it and its very easy to get out.

It says it is for the Blackberry but I have a Storm and a Curve and neither fit very well but its like it was made for the TP2. May be a little tight if you have the Tmobile version though but they have good cases in stock.

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 just spoke to some folks at Seidio today and they notified me that their system has a note that the Tilt 2 for AT&T will never be produced as per their Product Management team.
This is an incredible let-down for myself, and I find it hard to believe that they can't just modify the case currently for the HTC Touch Pro 2 to allow for the PTT key, and sell everyone that case regardless of your service provider.
Anyways, if anyone but myself was waiting on this case,I guess we need to find something else which is a shame.
I was waiting for this case also. I emailed them weeks ago and the return email was on the line that they are in the process of developing products for the tilt 2. So yes, this news is disappointing.
My suggestion, don't spend the extra money for a half-baked case. There are PLENTY of alternatives out there on ebay. I have one and it's wonderful and cost about 1/10 of what any of these "upscale" brands charges.
Sorry, forum was messed up.
Yes, I purchased one of those and it did not come close to fitting my Tilt 2.
For those of us with a Dremel and too much time on our hands, is it possible to mod the Seidio case to a near OEM look. Seems like taking about 3/8 of an inch off the PTT side would be golden. Opinions?
I'm not personally interested in having to pay so much money to "make do".
What I've personally decided to try is the Seidio holster that works with out phone, and a GadgetShieldz full body protection. I was actually really impressed with how this phone looked and didn't want to hide it, so this might be a good compromise.
I use a hard case I found on ebay for about $9. It works wonders, combined with a holster side pouch I bought on the street in NYC for $5. Total $14.
MUCH less than anything Seidio wants to charge.
Just had live chat with Seidio and this is the result.
Angela: hello
Customer74: hello
Customer74: Will you be making the innocase for the tilt 2?
Angela: Yes, we will be, but we don't have an exact ETA yet.
Customer74: Thank you.
Angela: You're very welcome. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Customer74: Not at this time, thank you.
I had a long chat with them within a day of the original post and they emphatically stated that they were not making it. Who knows....
methinks they're messing with you.
I spoke with them on the phone today (as apposed to the chat like last time) and they again told me that it was not going to be released. I was unable to get any more details.
By the time they get around to making it, it will be like wanting to buy a case for the original tilt - there will be another phone out all off us are moving to =P
I am afraid you are right.

I just applied the GadgetShield a few hours ago and it's already looking great!
Going to wait until tomorrow to try placing it into the case - after feeling the new rubbery skin of the phone (which looks great) I'm not sure it will work together.
When I talked to them in early Dec, they told me at the end of Dec. :-(
Is it possible to use the Touch Pro II case and let it just cover up the other button?
I saw the post regarding modification, just wondering if its possible to ignore the button all together.
I had this case for my original tilt and hated it.
Going with a full phone gadget shield and then a slide-leather case.
the bulkiness of the innocase is just too much for me.

I am not sure, however, after exploring the tablet software a little bit there is an awesome desktop dock application that shows the weather, the htc clock, and facebook updates. So I take it we will see a home dock in the near feature. I wish a car dock would come out, but because of its size and legality of videos playing while driving, we probably won't see one of those.
The only two accessories that I know of are:
HTC Scribe Pen - $80
Anti-Glare Screen Protector @ AT&T - $20
- Dan
Actually, if you go to Amazon and search for HTC Puccini, a tpc case also shows up. No case, though....soon, I hope!

For anyone looking for decent case that fits the HTC Jetstream until cases that are made for this product reach the market. I have been using a Targus (Truss Leather Case / Stand) Model Number THZ07002US from Best Buy.
It’s a case that was made to fit an Acer ICONIA TAB A500 10.1 pad. It works as a cover and a stand that has three viewing angles in stand mode. It also has a slot for the styles pen but it’s a little bulky, doesn’t fit as tightly as I would like and it covers the back camera. All that said you can easily reach the on off switch, head phone jack, volume controls and even plug the unit in without taking the pad out of the case.
I still want to buy a case made for my unit that lets me use the back camera and that fits a little better but until they become available I needed some thing to protect my new overpriced but amazing Jetstream.
Looks like PDAir will be making some and rooCASE will have some nice ones ready October 19 on Amazon...they look nice.
scribe pen
is the scribe pen still coming free with the device if its bought in store? thanks
Yes, until October 15...
Pen Issues
I bought the unit in person last week, just before closing on my way home from work. The ATT store did not include the pen with my purchase and I forgot to ask for it. I went back in the am to get it and boy did it get interesting.
They started out with the story that the Pen only was included if you bought the data plan on a 2 year commitment?
I said really? Show me where it says that? I have seen the pen offered in EVERY AD as free with purchase for a limited time.
We went round and round and the finally relented but what a PIA....
ATT is truly clueless when it comes to it's own products, promotions etc.
Love the Jetstream, dont love the hoops you have to jump through.
How about NO ONE knowing when the LTE network is turning on?
Why am I paying for a data plan for something that is not ever available yet and has no timeline?
I passed on the data.
Have unlimited wifi tether on my rooted inspire so that's my dataplan.
Yeah I didnt think they were all coming with pens, hope mine has one with it ><
Didn't have that issue. I am WiFi only and they asked to register me and I said I didn't really need to because I was using it only on WiFi networks. Got the pen nonetheless.
I think you are supposed to have a data plan, but the advertising was hazy....and the ATT rep said without me asking that I got the pen. I really think it depends on the person.
ATT doesn't have good reception in my neck of the woods, so Sprint is my provider. like you, Tracy, I just tether.
Skinomi has screen protectors and skins. There is also a 25% coupon.
www.skinomi.com
Coupon code is skinomi25 plus free shipping.
They are good skins. Apply like Zagg but no orange peel. They are slick.
Case/cover for Jetstream
Picked this case up on Amazon last week.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-PUCCINI-S...H4TA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1316444249&sr=8-3
For 9.99 was not expecting much....Case is great....Soft and flexibile. Covers the back and all the corners and makes holding easy.
I recommend highly.
Tracy
Has anybody heard about a folio case that allows it to stand up, much like the Xoom case? It's really the only thing I find the device is missing.
Melkco says they are working on one. So does PDAir. RooCASE will have one ready mid-October....you can see the rooCASE on Amazon. PDAir on their own website, and I conducted Melkco on my own....
Looks like we will have to be patient. The gel case on Amazon works well for the time being....
found this new case on ebay - looks good - will order one and see how is it
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sikai-Mibro...985919?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb825e17f
Found this case on the HTC website. It is the official case. I assume it looks just lile the Flyer case..
http://shopamerica.htc.com/product/productpop.htm?prId=39802
Due to being in a rush, i got this case for $70 at WalMart
www.kensington.com/kensington/us/us/p/1615/K39336US/keyfolio™-bluetooth®-keyboard-case.aspx
Had to make some mods such as cutting a big hole for the camera and cutting some of the elastic for clear the volume and power buttons. Also cut some of the front 'frame' so the screen is fully visable.
IMPORTANT: Just be aware the two/three small holes on the top of the Jetstream are light sesons for the flash/camera, so the hole you cut for the camera must be big enough allow light access to those small holes. The BT keyboard works great with it too.
did u get the case?

I saw that yesterday. It also comes in pink but I would prefer a case that has a place for the scribe pen....:-\
I promised my brain injured son a netbook or tablet for his birthday. (The injury was to his right brain and his left brain is normal.) He will be 37 on Friday, but in a lot of ways he functions around 4 to 7 years old. And he loves to play Angry Birds on my HTC EVO View.
The director of his adult day care program and I talked at length about it. We came to the mutual conclusion that giving him a tablet is extremely risky It has to be a 7" tablet with a Gorilla Glass screen and a battery that is not removable.
For a couple of weeks I've grown weary of checking craigslist and store ads daily for something suitable. At this point an HTC Flyer appears to be the best choice, even though $300 is way out of my comfort zone. When I finish posting, they are holding one for me at Best Buy...
I bought an M-Edge zip-up pouch (that is a bit oversized) and a new lunch box with an outside pocket that the M-Edge pouch will fit into. His daycare program will secure the tablet each morning and put it back in his lunchbox when they check for things that don't belong to him just before he gets on the van to come home.
He will only be allowed to use the tablet at the day care program's computer desk as a reward for not having tantrums or taking other people's things. At home it will only be allowed to be used at the kitchen table.
I will secure it to the desk at the program and the kitchen table at home with a laptop lock / security cable (alarm?). Unfortunately, if he defeats the cable lock, the Flyer could wind-up in the bathtub (Like his Mother's Droid X). And he is pretty good at getting rid of the evidence of things he destroys.
Something like a Seidio Convert or Otterbox Defender case would help protect it from falls and also give me something to attach the security cable to. Unfortunately, Seidio may never make a case for the Flyer, and the Otterbox
Defender is not available yet. I really like the idea of a silicone skin inside a polycarbonate shell. (Seidio active and convert cases have done a pretty good job protecting my EVO 4G phone.) I hope someone knows of a similar case.
Plan 2 is to use something like double sided tape to secure a silicone skin inside a leather folio case (so he can not take it apart easily). Either way, I need to make sure the Flyer is protected when he drops it. But I also need something that he can not easily remove to attach a security cable to.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hello.
I'm very sorry to hear about your son.
But if you would breathe easier with a cheaper tablet, I would wait for the kindle fire to release. Its only $200 and has all the capabilities of a normal tablet but with Amazon's restrictions on it (ie he will be able to play angry birds and much more on it)
Don't quote me on this but I believe it has a gorilla screen protector but I'm not too sure on whether or not it has a permanent battery.
Also, you would be able to spend around $60 adding protection to it. Bodyguardz tab protector, and maybe an otterbox if it releases at the time.
You can preorder it now and you'll get it by Nov 15.
All in all, its going to be $100 cheaper than the flyer.
I hope this helps
theomni, Thanks for your reply. First they told us he would never survive the surgery. Then they told us if he ever came out of the coma he would be a vegetable. After 17 days he woke up.
These days, he would be just as happy discussing where they give out the best toys with happy meals as he would be discussing the pitching staff of the Arizona Diamondbacks. (And I don't watch baseball, so I have no idea how he knows that stuff.) I never use the "R" word, so he surprised the heck out of me a few months ago when, out of the blue, he told me he is glad he is retarded because his brothers have house payments...
He is actually pretty happy and outgoing most of the time. He pretty much says what's on his mind. (in fact, he hardly ever stops talking.) For the most part the economy (and bad knees) forced me into retirement. But occasionally, when we get a job he looks forward to helping me. His pay is usually a happy meal or a $5 toy at WalMart.
Some of his favorite activities at the day care center are zoomba(?), bowling, dancing, and he knows the words to every country song that plays on the little Sony FM radio that's usually in his pocket. I'm kind of like my dad, the radio interferes with thinking. (And riding in the truck with him would be a lot easier if he didn't sing along so off key.)
He's not so happy when he gets in trouble for taking the batteries out of the remote control instead of just asking for one. If we go to a customer's house, I have to check his pockets before we leave. He gets caught with "other people's things" in his pockets at the day care several times a week. It could be one of his nephew's toys or something from our house they find when he gets there. Or it could be something like a cell phone that belongs to one of the staff when it's time to go home. Trying to reason with him about that is like trying to reason with the dog. It just doesn't work.
A few days ago when I picked him up and we checked his pockets he had a toy that belongs to another "client". When I asked him to give it back he told me and the director of the program we don't have to worry about him taking things from stores because they have cameras and would call the police.
Keeping track of what he has in his pockets keeps us on our toes. That's why I have so much concern about getting him a tablet.
Anyway, we were on our way to Best Buy this afternoon when he told me he would rather have $50 to spend on anything he wants at Toys R Us instead of a tablet. So I'm off the hook, at least until Christmas.
I appreciate you sharing what you're going through. I have a daughter that is developmentally disabled, though she is only 4, and I can sympathize with your trials.
Just as my opinion, I would echo what theomni said about the kindle fire. It is likely to have quite a huge aftermarket for accessories and may have either exactly what you need in terms of a case/security method or at least something easily modified.
Good luck in your search if you are able to put it off until Christmas.
You all are in my prayers and if you do decide to buy a htc flyer. They have a otterbox defender shell coming out for in the next couple of weeks. The toughest shell you could ever buy I have one for every device I have. Might want to look into it. They may have one for any tablet u might purchase just check into the site periodically they are always adding a new shell. And again you all are in my prayers. God bless you all and I wish you all the most happiness and serenity in the world.

And check Amazon they have a case that's similar to the otterbox. I would have to look up the name or the case and get back to you with the link

Just got my Caseen Designo Perfecto. Wow. Everything about this case says, "Quality" right down to the box it came in! It's so perfect you have to SMELL it to convince yourself it's leather (it is). The edges and cuts are beautifully finished. The stitching is perfect. Someone else mentioned in a review that it's so perfect it looks like it HAS to be plastic. I didn't think it could possibly be that good at these prices.
It is.
Customer service: great (I emailed some questions and was answered within 30 minutes)
Shipping: Free! Seriously? I believe it shipped on Thursday (maybe Friday actually) and I got it today. And did I mention free?
All that is great, but it's the PRODUCT I was purchasing and this is one of the nicest cases I think I've ever seen.
I have NO affiliation with caseen other than making this purchase. I am retired from a university IT position where we were responsible for not only institutional purchases of desktops, laptops, servers and "big iron" network equipment, but also ran a retail technology store on campus for students and faculty personal purchases. So I'm no stranger to computer accessories.
Yeah... it's that good.
Use with keyboard?

Are you using this with the keyboard attached? I was looking at cases for mine but I want to be able to have the keyboard attached to it. I see that you can go with or without with this case. What do you think of the elastic strap that holds it together when not in use? It looks odd in the video on the website. I was looking at another case with a magnetic enclosure so I don't know how I feel about the elastic. Thanks.
