Tilt 2 working great (mostly, so far LOL.)
Unfortunately I got the back cover a bit scuffed up including the clear plastic that covers the camera opening.
What and where are the best way for me to get a replacement back cover piece??
(As long as all TP2s have the PTT button on the left side, then I dont think it has to be AT&T branded?)
This one fits the Tilt2 perfectly, but no PTT button. Also, it has no clear plastic in the camera opening. The butt-end of your AT&T stylus is black, so it looks a little weird with the silver battery cover - a little silver paint would fix that.
I ordered one last week, it just came today. I like the look so far, but am not ready to get rid of my original AT&T cover.
AT&T is the only TP2 with a PTT button - left, right, top or bottom. If you want to use your PTT button, you need a replacement AT&T cover.

Thanks. Nice find!
Ya got me to do some more hunting.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND!
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002XVFOVY/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
Tilt / Touch Pro 2 Extended Battery with new rear cover (to fit the larger battery.) And for those wondering, Yes it does have the PTT button on the side for AT&T Tilt2 owners!
I AM gonna give serious consideration to your link as an extended battery and larger rear cover is going to make an already large phone even bulkier.
Mods:
Can someone rename this thread to something like "Extended Capacity Battery for TP2 and Tilt 2" ?
Based on the Amazon link I found, XDA members looking for such an extended battery might find what they are looking for more easily if this thread was renamed.

I've just bought an OEM battery cover off eBay recently to replace mine that has the Telstra logo on it. The battery cover seemed fine and solid, and it looked and felt alot like the original one.
But the only problem is that it has no grill/metal netting on the hole for the speaker. Any idea how I can come about this? Or how I can remove the grill from the original cover and glue it back on the replacement?
Thanks in advance.!
I just bought a new back cover too, it is impossible to tell the difference! $24 US delivered, HTC want US$100 delivered
The speaker mesh can be very easily pushed out from the opposite side, only lite adhesive holds it in place.
It is the volume key that proves a slight challange but even that is no big deal, just a very fine flat head screw driver to pry out plastic welds by inserting the fine screw driver as close to each weld as possible so as not to break the delicate plastic.
where dit u order them??
I got mine form ebay
However someone needs to design one with these features:
Piano black style (same as phone)
Alternate colours
Perfectly aligned reset hole
Small closable door to remove SD Card
Tighter fit to prevent the horrible crackling noises (especially around the volume keys)
This would sell like hot cakes!
I just received mine from MSG Distributors NY and it did cost around $30 delivered but what a huge difference over the Telus stock cover. This one does include the mesh grill. I ordered this due to the camera bezel being scratched on my used Telus 8285.
It does NOT have the squeaks the original cover had, it's much tighter fit and sturdier too.

Thanks all. I peeled the speaker mesh with a pocket knife.
The replacement ones look and feel better, so definitely not worth a 100 bucks on an original one. Too bad the replacement one doesn't come with volume rockers as well. So again, I had to carefully take the original one off.
P/S - Bought mine from eBay..
Hello,

It's $30, but do you guys think it's worth it?

Wouldnt that case cover the proximity sensor???
I have been using it for about 1.5 weeks with my Tmob TP2. The bottom cover is a little tricky, but it works pretty good. I took the back clip off and put the plug in. I mainly keep it in my shirt or my pants pocket.
Got one today
I got one today and is does seem pretty sturdy. It has the feeling of soft leather or neoprene over hard plastic covering most of the edges and then a mesh on the sides for griping. as one person mentioned you have have the clip on or off which is nice. It does seem really bulky when I have it clipped in the inside of my front jeans pocket. I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep it or get something else but I do think it is pretty nice.

It looks like it will, so a little drilling might be required. I have one coming in the mail, so I'll let you know if it does.
I saw this case at my local T-Mobile store. It was too bulky and interfered too much with the number keys when the screen was flipped up. T-Mobile sales a really nice soft gel like shell with all the right holes cut out for the T-Mobile version of the TP2 (including one for the proximity sensor). It costs about $12 +/-.

Best part it's in NJ, very close to me
When you say "It was too bulky and interfered too much with the number keys when the screen was flipped up" do you mean its got a cover that protects the screen too?
Yes. It's the same type as the BodyGlove, but without the clip, feels more rubbery, and isn't quite as thick. It still gets in the way of the number keys when tilting the screen, but not as much since it's a little thinner. I can actually still use the number keys with this case, where as with the bodyglove I couldn't.

You will def have to drill a little for the proximity sensor, but other than that, it fits really well, and gives a little better grip. It does make the phone a little thicker, but it protects it well.

If not, have you seen it sold anywhere online?
Yes, that's the one.
I just bought the t-mobile soft gel case for my touch pro 2 and it fits pretty well, Doesn't block the proximity sensor. So for the price , 12.99 + tax, I recomend it.
Glad it worked out for you. I've had the case for over a week now and love it!
Updated BodyGlove Case Coming Soon!
I have been working with BodyGlove on a redesign of the TP2 case and I will be getting a factory prototype in the next week to ten days. From what I am told the main difference is it will have the cutout for the proximity sensor.
Make sure you keep your receipt. I would guess that T-Mobile will replace it with the updated version since the original was technically defective. If you have trouble with T-Mo then contact BodyGlove directly since they know about the problem and are coming out with a fix.
As for the thinner GEL type case, I tried it today and didn't like it as much as the BG version since it seemed to be easy to dislodge the the lower shell middle clips. Within a few minutes I noticed that I had to bump the center clips back in place more than once. It also seemed to interfere with the slide a little, something the BG does not do.
I would have to vote for the BG (updated one) as the better case since the rigid shell fits and stays on better. Yes, the BG is a little bulkier but I would have to guess that it would provide pretty good protection in the event of gravity assisted boo-boo.
Regards,
Gordo
Body Glove in a cradle.
I love my BG case. I got it a couple of days ago. All I had to do was drill a small hole for the proximity sensor, which btw is an easy fix. I wonder if there is a cradle that will fit it now that it's a lot thicker.
I think I'd have a better luck making my own. I think a triangular wedge with a lip/edge on one the sides would work best since I'm planning to have the keyboard open while it's charging. I'll post pics (probably on a different thread). What do you guys think?

I emailed BG about this the other day and they couldn't tell if this was a mistake, a bad batch, or what... so they said they would send me a new one to see if it was better (this was before i saw your thread).
Also, there is a hole on the BACK cover that the BG case blocks, but the gel of same type don't. Someone said it was a noise mic. (I don't know).
For those of you that drilled... was it hard to keep the material from wanting to tear or fray? How did you go about it?

It wasn't hard at all. I just got a small drillbit and I used a dremel tool. You can't even tell that I "modified" it.
This is my first review, so I hope it doesn't suck.
Both my wife and I have the Tilt 2. I decided to go with InvisibleShield while she wanted a case. After looking at all the comments here about cases not fitting, I decided to go with 2 different ones from Amazon. One fit horribly, so i wont even mention it.
She is using the Tilt2 Praetorian Slip and she loves it. Installation was a little tough as the fit is pretty precise. I suggest installing the top (screen) side first and then the bottom (keyboard). Install both with the KB extended. I have attached pics of the fit.
The only complaint I have (she thinks of it as a feature) is that the cover makes it a little more difficult to slide out the keyboard. She like it because it used to slide open in her purse (mostly because of the fact that she keeps it in an inside pocket of her purse which causes it to hit just right against crap she has in another pocket). Overall, this is a pretty nice cover. I am sure you can get it cheaper than amazon, but I had gift certificates to spend
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the review! I bought the same case a few months ago, although it was advertised as for the Verizon Touch Pro 2. I was unaware they made one for the Tilt 2. Now I won't have to worry about it falling off randomly!
thsi case probably wouldnt work with invisible shield on too huh

Neat.. glad yours fit. I ordered one for the Tilt2 from Amazon as well, and Boxwave sent one labeled 'Touch Pro 2'. I see yours doesn't have a cutout area for the PTT button either, do you have issues with that? My praetorian case would almost always trigger the PTT button whenever I handled the phone.
The top/screen portion of my Praetorian didn't fit right and opening and closing the top was almost impossible - even ended up ripping off the protective plastic along one side of the keyboard. (the protective plastic that is designed to be there, not the temporary stuff it whipped with) I can see just by looking at your pictures that your screen portion fits waay better than mine did.
When I contacted Boxwave about the issues, no questions asked and they sent a postage paid label for the return. I'd love to try this case again, as I did like the feel of it, but nervous about another no-fit. I went with BodyGuardz instead.. not sure I'm happy with those..

Man, sorry you had so many issues. The PTT button is indeed covered, but she has had no issues with it at all (hers is remapped to toggle bluetooth on and off). The fit on the screen portion is *very* tight. Took some effort to get it installed properly.
Also, mine definitely said "Tilt 2" on the packaging.
It is disappointing that it covers the PTT button. I assume your wife has abandoned that function (easily switching BT on/off)?
Thanks for posting reviews on this case -- I'm trying to decide what route to take to give my new Tilt 2 some added protection, and more importantly, cut down on the slickness/smudge magnet-ness of the shiny battery cover (which is my #1 gripe with the GSM TP2, both CDMA versions have rubberized covers which won't fit their GSM siblings due to the placement of the 3.5 mm jack).
I really wish someone made a rubberized battery cover to replace the shiny OEM one. These snap on type cases are okay, but they become a major pain as soon as you need to pop off the battery cover in order to flash a new ROM (as I do often), reset the device, or swap out memory cards. I worry trying to snap-in and pry off these cases frequently will damage the phone -- especially when it's a super snug fit. IMHO, a rubberized battery cover, along with perhaps the upper portion of this case to protect the chrome bezel from getting nicked would be an ideal solution! I may just go down to Home Depot this weekend and see if they have a spray that can rubberize plastic, then I might just buy a spare OEM battery cover and see if I can rubberize it.

Nope, the PTT button still works perfectly under the cover. Does not get accidentally pressed and is responsive when you push it.

Sounds like skinning/shielding your phone with GadgetShieldz might be the way to go. The GadgetShieldz does take a little time to install but it works. The protective film on the screen is easy to install and bubble free. It makes the phone non-slippery. It would not protect the phone like a case but it does prevent scratches. When installed, it adds very little weight and dimension to the phone.
Actually, there are other protective films/shields but I only have experience with GadgetShieldZ. It might work for you.

Just to report on this, I got one of these in the mail yesterday. So far I love it. It wasn't terribly difficult to get on. It fits very well too. My only real complaint is that it doesn't accommodate the PTT button that the Tilt 2 has right next to the volume buttons. It's not a big issue since I don't use PTT and the case doesn't prohibit using the key anyway.
Just be careful and make sure you order the one that specifically says it's for the Tilt 2. They make other models. I know they have the Praetorian on eBay but to be safe I opted to get mine directly from Boxwave. I got what I ordered too and could have used they're return policy if I needed.
Oh...I'll be happy to post pics if anyone wants but I think someone already put some up of this one a Tilt2.

I wish I'd seen your post sooner! Home Depot and Lowe's does indeed have something like that. I'm sure lots of hardware stores do. It's called Plasti-Dip. I have a can right here You can buy it as spray-on or dip/brush-on applications. I use it on mountain bike parts and tools for extra grip. I'm not positive how well it will stick to a slick plastic surface but it is an option.

I ordered one from BoxWave and I think I'm still going to shop around for something else. It seems like the Tilt2 has less options than the other variations of the Rhodium so people may just be settling for this due to "Slim Pickin's."
I like the way the gel gives more texture and grip to the phone, but I still feel uneasy because it's definitely not a snug fit. The part that covers the screen section of the phone is very flimsy and after you get it on, you want to keep checking it to make sure that it is attached; it feels like it can easily slip off at any time. This is specifically evident when you slide your screen up and tilt it. Tap the top right, or the middle section that really has no grip around the phone, and it might just pop off...
I still have it on my phone because it is the lesser of two evils, have something vs. not having something, but are there any other options for the Tilt2?

It's held up quiet nice...even with as much flashing I do (have to remove the bottom piece every time). I've figured out a great way to put it back on that's really fast and easy. Some people say it's difficult to get on. I think the top piece is the hard part but I've taken it off a few times and have no issues there either. It still fits good. If I remember, next time I take it off I'll shoot some pics of how I put it on and upload them.

I haven't really had any trouble with mine popping off. It took a bit to get the top on right and it was a pretty snug fit too. Getting the corner edges all the way tucked under was the hardest part. I'm guessing it's a manufacturing thing. Some say it's a tight fit and other say it's loose. I will agree that the sides on the top piece are flimsy because they're not attached the the phone but if they were it would probably make matters worse by either rubbing against the bottom piece or creating too big of a gap between the two parts of the phone.
I agree there aren't many options for the Tilt 2 and I hate to say it but there probably won't be.

If yours is a snug fit, I wonder if we received the same thing! Did you order from BoxWave? I have a little plastic tool that I used to get the corners onto the top half quickly which was actually made to fit into the creavice of a HTC Dash phone to pop the clips and take the phone apart. It works great and I can see the little flaps around the corner so you can tell the corners of the phone are between the gel lips.. It's still too easy to come off though..
Even though my receipt says "Praetorian Crystal Slip, HTC Tilt2, Smoke Grey - SKU: bw-268-3729-2808", it also says "ITEM: HTC TOUCH PRO2." The Box also has a white sticker in the top right that says "Praetorian Crystal Slip - TOUCH PRO2."
Do you remember if yours said the same? Maybe they somehow shipped me the wrong one?

Yeah I got mine directly from boxwave. They have like 3 different models of that slip. Most of the adds I saw on Amazon and eBay claimed it would fit on 3 or 4 different TP2 models which I knew it wouldn't. I emailed boxwave about the pics in their online catalog because it didn't look like a Tilt 2 to me and they admitted it wasn't. They said they didn't have one for the pics. Which made sense I mean why spend that much just to get pics but they promised it would fit so I figured what the hell. The hard covers kinda suck.
Thanks for the replies, I guess I will go ahead and order it and see what happens.
I just got the unbranded version of this case off ebay (the seller's id was e-story).
It's not too bad on my unbranded TP2. It's slightly more difficult to slide out the keyboard, and when the screen is fully tilted, the top row of keys are slightly obscured, but nothing too major in my opinion.
I like that the case improves the grip of the phone, but I'm also rather concerned that the case will eventually melt under hotter conditions since the material feels rather gummy.
Are there any rubberized battery covers/housings that will fit the AT&T Tilt2? I need something with a little more grip but dont want to add any more size to the phone. Would any of these replacement housings add any more grip?

My understanding was that all of the GSM versions of the phone have the same body, except for the front camera and the PTT button. Luckily for us, the front camera is in the part of the phone that us Tilt 2 owners get covered up. The PTT button, however, will be a problem.
I picked up one of the cheap snap on hard cases from ebay when I got my slide. One of the tabs since broke, so I'm looking for another one. But the thing I didn't like about it was that the front piece covered the proximity sensor. so every time I would make a phone call the screen would be blank the whole time and I would have to slide the phone open just to hit end or type number keys. Are they all like that or did I just get the cheap kind?
I have the hard shell case from t-mobile and its not like that at all.
I think that cutout has to be just a bit bigger. I'll look at them and compare the two. Not sure if I wanna dish out 30 bones for one from t-mobile.
After having my tmobile store bought hard case for a few weeks now I'm not happy. Sometimes the phone will actually come out of the back case. Today it did this and fell in dirt and scratched my battery cover. I'm mad so I'm going to tmobile today to get something different. Id recommend to everyone to stay away from the hard shell cases.

I just got my my blue snap on from eBay. It's rubberized I like it but if I put both the front and back on the phone its hard to side open and close. Maybe I need to file it down or something like that. If I figure out something ill let everyone know or if someone already has it figure let us know please. Thanks

I filed down the little clips that grip the phone. Now its a lot easier to slide open and close. Now to find a belt clip assembly for it. I would recommend if you pay like $5 and dont mind modding it.
I bought one of those clear snap on cases on ebay. It was very difficult to slide the keyboard fully up or down. It has to do with the tabs holding the case into place. I also went to the T-Mobile store and asked if I could try it on, same thing with the clear case or the colored case with the strap, it was the same. So I'm holding off and just going to buy the clip instead.
