I think there is no waterproof case which fits the HD exactly.
Now I built my own one:
The Case is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic with Aluminium-edges.
On the bottom a universal mount is bonded.
Inside it fits the HD with a negative form of silicone.
The window is a 2mm plexiglass.
Disadvantage: Touchscreen not operable, but I don´t need this feature, because if the mountainbike GPS Track is once loaded things go on itself.
The case successfully comlpeted the bathtub test.
Weight: 73g
I applaud you for such an undertaking.
Not sure how many folks would be interested in this if you were to ever mass produce this.
Very interesting...Now if you had access to the touch screen, that would be bonus.
Found this online.: http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-56728/HTC+Touch+HD+Waterproof+Case.html
even has access to the screen.

The case that comes with the K-Jam isnt as small as it could be so I would like to get a case that is a little more form fitting.
Has anyone looked at the leather case that pdair.com has for the k-Jam/wizard? I cant tell how it attaches to the K-Jam but I think its got a clear plastic sheet that fits in between the screen and keyboard and covers the keyboard. That is why I am reluctant to buy case. I had something like that for my PDA2K and I didnt like the plastic sheet in between keyboard and screen. It seemed that the screen would not slide so easily before using the case and afterwards the screen seemed to be loose and slide to easily. I dont want to mess up the tight feel of the screen / keyboard on this one.
If you know anything about this case or any other please post a response.

I am thinking of getting one of the cases on theis page: www.krusell.se. I like the Horizontic style. The cases are shown under the ETEN m500 size but the m500 and K-Jam are about the same size.
The Krusell cases are well made and fit well, but they are not smaller than the stock cases.
Look http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2089&category=16 or http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2128&category=42 although the pdair and piel frama are the only ones that allow you to use the keyboard whilst in the case. I have the pdair.com one and it fits my needs (I am able to use the keybaord quite effectively with the plastic cover (it doesn't cover all of it); I have had the plastic 'crumple' a few times but this minor problem is more than outweighed by the benefits.
these flip cases look quite good

It looks almost identical to the PDAir one. Nice aluminium insert which works with their magnetic car holder. Since when did aluminium react to magnetism??? (I know the probably have a thin magnet insert btw)
Hello,
These cases are also compatible with HTC Wizard:

Do you have the book style (landscape-opening) or the flip style (portrait opening) model?
You don't find any problem with opening and closing the keyboard, with that plastic insert?
I've had the PDAir leather case (flip format -- hinge on the bottom) for several weeks now -- it works pretty well for the most part. It's a bit tricky putting the Wizard in the case; the plastic bit that fits between the keyboard & LCD has a Velcro bit on the end that's a bit thick for the space provided. Said Velcro piece attaches to the case via a tab that folds up over the right side, between the camera button & IR port -- unfortunately it covers the reset hole.
The case is a bit loose-fitting, which probably can't be fixed without sacrificing the ability to deploy the keyboard; AFAIK, it's the only case that lets you use the keyboard without removing the Wizard from the case. It's not as good as the Krusell I used with my BlueAngel, but it's good enough.
I have been looking at cases for my HD and have not had much luck. I found a Motorola Q case that was a good fit but it was ugly. I almost bought it until I found another one but it had a very strong closure magnet and I though I would ask here first to see if there was any chance of harm to the devise from the magnetic field.
Thanks, dhatw.
I buy a new kaiser belt holster to use with THD. It fits well (when the band are not stretched). Not trusting those magnet thingy next to electronics.
yeah me too dont recommend pouches with Magnetic locks. it ruined my Diamond.

Just bought a an expensive Piel Frama Leather Pouch for HD which has magnet ...
Well I have asked and searched and it seems that the opinions are split. I even spoke to HTC America and the dude said that he wouldn't recommend anything stronger than the magnet in the stylus. Now he has to say that but there might as well not be a magnet in the stylus because it is so weak. I read some where that the magnet in the speaker is more powerfull than the ones used in the cases but I do not have confirmation. I found a perfect case for the HD, it is for the Motorola Q but it has a strong (relatively speaking) magnet. I put a dinner knife on the inside of the bare case and it stuck pretty good. I am having a hard time with finding a good case that closes strongly but does not have magnets or velcro with degrades with time and sticks to everything.

I bought the new "Krussel - Orbit Flex" Case, made for HTC Touch HD.
http://krusell.se/products/1/?catid=75&productid=3622
It's a good quality and the price is okay. I got it in Germany for round about 20 EUR's, incl. tax, but it seems that krussell offers around the world. The case can be close with a little magnet at backside. Special features are the removable front lid and the multi - adapt - clip at backside.
The company give a "live-time warrenty" for this product.

Sorry for the late reply.
i bought a pouch with a magnetic closure for my new diamond. i used it for only half a day. my touch screen stopped responding from there onwards. but after couple of days it start to work again. i never used the pouch again.
also i can remember my touch dual waking up when i swipe it across the magnet and it sometimes automatically answered the phone in the process of taking out of a pouch with the magnetic closure. so i believe prolonged usage of this type of a pouch may ruin you touch screen devices. so be careful.
on the other hand I've never seen a pouch with a belt clip which doesn't have a magnet on it.. hm.. anybody have any other suggestions for a pouch without a magnet but with a belt clip??
In my quest for the perfect case I have encounterd ones with flaps that slip into straps. Like a belt end. I don't know if that came out right but basically you just slide the top flap into something. Of course there is always velcro, so long as you don't wear sweaters. I settled on a Blackberry knock off that fit the HD perfectly. It has the plastic spring loaded belt clip that I so wanted because they hold more securely than the leather covered belt clips that are on most holders. It does have a magnetic closer however and I have convinced myself after much reseaech that there is no reason to worry.
People, why all the worries about magnets. Old floppy drives are sensitive to magnets, also are physical hard drives. Neither of witch the HD has. It only has flash memory.
And apart from that, ive noticed this piel frama company making pda leather cases for quite some time now, all with magnets... guess they would be out of business right now if it destroyed all the devices that are put inside it eh
Im atleast looking to getting one of those piel frama cases.
My Pielframa have magnets i use it since 2 weeks and no problem at all.
I have been searching online retailers and local shops for a leather case for my Touch HD but to no avail, until I have found this in one of the mall in the Philippines while on holiday. I believe this is one of the best genuine leather case available for the HD regardless of the price. The best part of it is the price: Only USD15.00
The leather is not stiff but smooth and soft. The stitching is very well done. All phone controls and buttons are all accessible.
Check out the pix to have an idea how amazing this leather case is.
The pictures does not include the belt clip which also serves as headset/headphone cable organizer. Very, very neat!

It's Capdase. They actually have cases for all other phones including, iphone, blackberries. I actually bought similar cases too for my Blackeberry bold and Nokia 5800.
I'm wondering whether this leather case could be made compatible with Krusell's Multidapt mounting system, so it could be used with their car and bike holder kits. Could you maybe give me the exact dimensions of the swivel thingy that I suppose gets screwed in the back of the case?
Here's the corresponding Krusell data:
outside-diameter (top 2mm): 12,5mm
outside-diameter (lower 2mm): ca 9,5mm
inside-diameter: 7mm
also, do you know what kind of screw is used?
here's a pic of the krusell belt kit (the swivel thingy I'm talking about is obviously the second from the left):
Whoooa! The last pic, where it shows th case being used as a stand raises it's value a lot
Where can we buy this product ??

I believe it will not be compatible. I am at work now, I will post additional pictures with belt clip on and the screw itself. I have had Krussel before but it is not as well designed as the belt clip that comes with this Capdase case.

I bought this in a mall in the Manila, Phils. I have search the web but it is not available. Maybe you could try search "Capdase" in Ebay. Even in Manila, it is not readily available in most shops, you really have to ask for it.

I will try to post additional pictures when I get off from work. But I can assure that it still fits my front pocket comfortable without looking happy to see everybody ....I never use the belt clip and screw so that's helped a lot in terms of pocketability.

I use a simple leather case to protect my HD. Bought on ebay where you also get a screen protector with it what is much better than the original one.

Hiya guys. Just received my phone today.
I have ordered one of these Beyza SlimLine Leather Pouch Case.
Has anyone had one of these before, and what was their view of it?
Looking for a slim (protective) case, whether it be silicone or leather, pouch or flip-case, so that I can carry the phone in my jeans pocket.

I'd support that. Got the Bugatti SlimCase two weeks ago, and I'm quite satisfied with it.
PROs:
- Sturdy, quality leather case, offers good protection for the HD.
- Fixed belt loop. (yes there is a belt loop on the back - hard to see on some pictures). No clip that can accidentally slip off your belt.
- Slim fit: The HD's a slim device, and this case doesn't add bulk to it. Sits tightly against the belt, so no bulge at your waist. Comfortable to wear even under a business suit.
- velcro fastening: No chance of the HD accidentally slipping out of the case.
- Good fit around device: The HD fits in just right, and it's not too tight (so no unnecessary pressure on the screen).
- EasyOut strip, really easy to operate: Undo the velcro and pull the strip in one movement - hey presto, the HD is lifted about 1/3 out of the case. Couldn't be easier.
CON:
- Putting the HD back into the case is a bit more fiddly: The EasyOut strip gets in the way, or gets twisted. Not easy to do with one hand.
Overall, a really good belt-able case, and a real bargain too.
(I got mine from Amazon for ~ 10 € incl. P&P!!!!)
N.
You got to watch out for some of those cases on Ebay. I bought one for my X1i when I had it and because it was kinda tight ( needed breaking in ) it wore the paint down on an edge near the control panel. It was felt lined but the outer shell felt more like synthetic leather.
Krussel case here because of the quality and the Multidapt system, my last five cases have been Krussel so I have all the belt clips, windshield brackets etc. already.
So I've recently purchased an X10 and I really want to take good care of it.
I've had pretty bad luck when it comes to phones breaking. (monthly)
What I want to do is to get a silicon case (or any sort of body case for the phone)
(along with a screen protector of course)
AND ALSO
get a leather pouch to put that in.
Would an X10 in a body case (ex. silicon case or otter commuter)
fit in an X10 leather pouch (ex MobiMan Premium Leather pouch)
Or would i have to get a larger leather pouch?
The reason I want the leather pouch is because I fear the screen will break.
I don't see any way around this unless there is some sort of indestructible hard plastic screen protector that doesn't interfere with the touch functions.
But if there is i'm totally content in just a case with no pouch.
Advice?

The only silicone case that can fit a leather pouch (at least the one that my phone came with) is the Sigema Procase! I bought this one (in purple color though) and it's by far the best case I ever had (and I've had quite too many, I am kind of addicted ) and it is so slim that the phone fits is the leather pouch just fine.
The case is composed of 2 materials: shock-absorbing soft rubber edge and semi-transparent hard plastic back.
The cut-outs are just perfect (much better than any other case I've tried) and will give you no problem accessing all the phone buttons and USB port.
There is also a durability test video on Youtube, though for the iPhone variant of the case.
I uploaded some pictures for you to see and help you make up your mind!
Not to offend and I may be wrong since this is just a visual assessment but that case doesn't look too safe.
I mean i'm sure I can probably find a leather (hard case) for a larger phone and fit it in there.
But.
Are there any hard screen protectors for the x10?
I know my iPod has a very hard plastic screen protector but it's a classic and not a touch so i don't know wether or not it'd interfere with touch functions.
Well
maybe I don't even need a hard plastic screen protector.
Is there any case for the X10 that just fully protects the body and the screen? (not like a pouch that you put it into when you're not using it)

I do think of myself as "overprotective" when it comes to my gadgets, but you seem to have taken overprotectiveness to a whole new level!!
Let me -try to- reassure you a little.
First of all, X10 is supposed to come with a hard shutterproof sheet preapplied!
So, don't remove that and you won't even need a screen protector at all.
As far as the case is concerned, buy one that feels safe to you and then a fairly large pouch to put your armored phone in!
There is no such thing as a case that also covers the screen, as that would render the phone unusable, due to the capacitative technology of the digitiser.
*sent from my X10i
For what its worth, my case is a black tpu case(they re-badge there as i-skins) and a leather case that was about $8 plus shipping both from ebay. The phone with the tpu case fits snug into the leather belt clip. If you warm it and strech it a little it fits perfect and slides in and out with ease. I don't like the cheap screen protector that came with the tpu case and plan on getting a zagg protector.
Both the tpu case and leather were ordered on ebay.
If you want some pictures I can take some later if you pm me.

First Impressions:
The case comes in two parts. There's the jacket part that has a front flap with a leather texture, and the hard plastic part that can detach from the jacket. The front flap does not have a magnet, it simply just folds over the front of the phone, so there's no problem with interference.
The detachable plastic case feels like any regular plastic case. There's a small lip on the front so if you place your phone face down on a flat surface your screen won't scratch. The back of the case provides little camera protection as it sits flush with the lens.
However, once you put the jacket part on, it adds a little bit of thickness allowing the lens to sit in a small pocket.
The jacket part of the case has a thinner plastic base that bends slightly, but does not feel overly flimsy. The flap is attached by a stitching on the back of the case and seems to be well constructed. Along with the flap, the inside of the plastic case is covered by a suede type of felt which protects the two plastic cases from rubbing against each other. The flap has three card slots built into it. However, if you have cards in all three slots, I found that it added significant overall thickness when the case is closed.
The cutouts on the case are perfect! I didn't have any trouble accessing any of the buttons or pulling out the S-Pen.
My main problem with this case is the price. It cost my fiancee about $43 with tax from the AT&T store. Coming from a $10 Spigen Bounce case, it's quite a price difference.
Overall, I give this case an 8.5/10.
The price of this case is a bit hard to swallow, but otherwise, it's a great case so far.
I'll update this review once i've had more time to use it. Thanks for reading!
Thanks for the review. That looks like just the type of case I'm looking for. Does it remove from the "jacket" pretty easily? I imagine there needs to be a balance between not being cumbersome to remove, but sturdy enough to stay put. I have been concerned about getting a wallet type case since I dock my phone when I drive. This looks like just the solution. Would like to see if I can save a few bucks, though. That is more than I have spent on my last 10 cases combined (I'm cheap).
The removal of the case from the jacket requires a little effort, but it's not terribly hard to take apart. It's got a good balance to it, it's not just going to come apart while in your pocket or while you're using it.
is there any auto wake/sleep lock function with the case?
No there's not, the jacket detaches easily but the hard plastic does not

I had this case for a smaller phone and could never get it to stand up like a kickstand like you have in one of your pictures. How sturdy is everything when you have it propped up like that?
I got one also and im digging it so far especially the taking it apart and still having a case on it. Playing Real Racing with the flap attached is just a pain sometimes. Although I used my company discount thru VZW and got mine for 25 and some change. I get a 35% discount on accessories from VZW.
Also how flush is the camera without the outer shell? Does it touch the table when it is only in the plastic shell?
