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.

Care to explain please???
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.
Hi All,
I was trying to look for a belt holster with a magnetic lock.
I went to a shop for some generic holsters with magnetic locks, but then the sales clerk told me that magnets are not good for phones.
I've had some holsters before with magnetic locks with my Tytn II and I had no problem. Considering the magnetic compass that the hero has, I was thingking would this be a problem with the Hero?
I would avoid a magnetic clasp if possible, they *do* screw up phones (personal experience).
Blackberry holsters have had magnets in them for years, and the phone is designed to detect them and send the phone to sleep when it its holster - which is pretty cool.
I got a case of ebay which is pretty good, which has a magnetic "clasp" to hold it shut. My only complaint is that the belt loops aren't designed for belts much more than say an inch and a half in width.

I expect to receive a VZW TP2 tomorrow and am hung-up on which case to order. I have quite a few Krusell Multi-Adapt clips, knobs, etc. that I would like to continue using, and know that these will fit Krusell cases, but what about others? Some other brands (e.g. Body Glove) use knobs that are similar to Krusell, but it is impossible to tell from on-line pics and the company reps don't have a clue.
The Krusell Orbit Flex case (vertical) looks good, but the cut-out at the bottom is not designed for CDMA phones that have the 3.5mm audio jack. The horizontal case doesn't have a cutout either, and I would like to be able to use the jack while the phone is in the case.
Does anyone know about any other cases that are compatible with the Krusell Multi-Adapt system and also give access to the audio and USB jacks?
Anyone here uses flip case with magnetic clip?
My friend and I encountered a strange issue which we heard weird bell-like sounds coming from the speaker of our I9300 when we are using a flip case with magnetic clip.
Probably in the Accessories section .

You have any idea if magnetic cases damage the phone?
I've been looking or a case similar to the iPad smart cover with magnetic closure and came across this one http://www.amazon.com/Navitech-Rotating-Magnetic-Function-Transformer/dp/B007N5DPZM/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1346185726&sr=8-12&keywords=tf101+magnetic+case
It says it has magnetic sleep/wake function, which I assume means that it just closes with a magnet as I'm sure they didn't put a magnet in like the diy smart ass covers.
Has anyone tried it? And if not can anyone recommend a good magnetic sleeve case?
