Well right now I am using a generic neoprene sleeve until something comes around I like... But I figured we could discuss cases here!
Expansys seems to have a decent selection of OEM cases (although they all look to be not available until 6/1)
www.expansys-usa.com/s.aspx?search=htc flyer
So have y'all spotted something you like?

Edit: A bit more organized case thread has been started here! In order to keep things simplified I recommend posting directly to that thread!
I bought one off Mobile Fun - the clear one that protects the whole device - bottom and sides. It is more of a glove that a case. It adds some thickness to the flyer so that you have to force it into the white case provided with the device from htc.
I will be looking to buy one that can stay on while working on the flyer. Just like you have observed, the better cases are not yet available.
I ordered this one from Best Buy for Business...
http://www.bestbuybusiness.com/bbfb/en/US/adirect/bestbuy?cmd=catProductDetail&showAddButton=true&productID=BB11281850
That one looks nice, I am going to have to wait and see what we get here in store!

Looks like the official HTC case the P S600 has room for the stylus, even though there are no pictures to show this. I have ordered one from Expansys.

I just got my flyer yesterday from bestbuy and it did not come with the white case. Was the flyer supposed to come with that? I wonder if bestbuy could do anything for me?
Anyone know if the journal type one from expansys has a cut out for the camera?

No pen, no case... from Best Buy package. Not sure I would like the white sleeve, though.
White case a bit cheap looking, would have preferred black. But does have loop for stylus.
Looks like we in Europe pay more but get case and stylus.

Here in Europe you get the Flyer with the bag and stylus included. I didn't assume it to be different elsewhere. I have to admit, the bag is far from being beautiful, though it has a separate slot for the pen on the outside. I had seen some yet unavailable but solid seeming cases from Expansys, but I am eager to learn there are some really cool cases out there. Keep them coming!

Except it is not good for protection from dust. Wish it had a zipper.
Nice
That Navitech case looks nice, I just found this, it is a silicone skin that would be nice for keeping the back safe! Although it wouldn't do a whole lot for a drop I'd imagine, and with a tablet a nice folio/wallet style is what I would want!
Oh yeah and they have a couple of TPU cases on that site!

That's the one I got - the clear type. Its okay, except it cannot go into the htc official case - the white one, unless you force it in. Getting it out is an even harder job.
I actually picked up a case meant for the Galaxy Tab and it fits quite well.
The case was at a Verizon store - I happened to be there for another reason and asked about the Tab cases.
It is a little snug, but it should stretch out some.
I've got an account with VZW, so they gave me a discount - total cost was about $20, retail is $24.99
I'm too newly registered to post a URL, so go to Verizon's website and search for "46466" - Leather Sleeve for Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The m-edge case for the noon---the one with the internal pen holder--fits Flyer perfectly and doubles as stand in landscape. I will use this one for a while.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who remembers HTC/Sprint mentioning that case with kickstand for the EVO 3D. I just put the phone on order and been looking for that one case all over online. Is it supposed to be an OEM case sold by Sprint only or something? Anyone has any clue?
Case should be available same day you go pick up the phone... Sprint and radio shack will have the case probably best buy as well

Thanks, though I ordered the phone from Amazon Wireless. I'm not getting it on contract, so I'm paying full price for it, which Sprint is having for $549, while Amazon for $469. Kind of a no brainer.
I tried eBay and the likes, no luck. Then I go for google, and it seems HTCPedia has them listed but out of stick or backordered. So basically no luck so far. Hopefully you're right and they have it at the Sprint retailer when I go there as soon as I get the phone.
When i ordered my E3D through sprint this morning one of the accessories available was something called an 'easel case' or something along those lines. It looked like the official ones shown before but the picture was only from the front so I couldn't tell for sure. It also said it had 3 levels of tilt or something like that which I was unfamiliar with from the one we're looking for. It was listed as $45 so I decided against it in case it's not the right one. I'll probably check the store on Friday.
edit:
went back into the premier store and found evo3D accessories. good thing I didn't order it!
http://i.imgur.com/HvtFp.png
it looked very similar from the front in the very small picture they have at the end of checkout, but i though easel case sounded wrong. Guess we're back to square one.
It says it has a stylus holder lol

cool, but i think that every evo case should cover the camera opening and just have cutouts for that lenses and flash/speaker.
Ill hold out for someone to make a hybrid poly/tpu case that covers the camera and has the kickstand. till then ill just use my otterbox defender for day to day and my tpu case from tpucases.com for light duty when I cant have it on my belt (formal dinners and such)
i dont see what the big deal is with the camera. i have had my evo from launch day and it has been naked about 95% of the time (had a seidio case for a bit) and my camera lens is perfectly fine and i am far from careful. dropped may times, always in my pocket, fell down the stairs etc etc.
I was just at my local best buy and they said they do not carry any accessories with htc branding.

It appears to me, comparing this picture to the Evo 3D in my hands, that the kickstand is on the wrong side for me....would not allow charging? HTC one appears to allow charging by reversing the phone. BTW, I confirm...3D works either way in landscape mode (with micro usb up or down).
Edit: I am assuming that the rounded end is the side that extracts and rests on the table/desk
I am looking all over for decent kickstand case online and everyone is sold out. Can anyone point me website that has some left.

I went to BestBuy yesterday looking for a case and I saw that one. In my opinion, it has two problems.
1.- The kickstand is made of thin plastic, it might be functional, but it doesnt look very sturdy.
2.- (The biggest one) Once the phone is on the stand, the USB port ends up facing the table so you cant charge your phone and use the kickstand at the same time.
On the other hand, its the only option for now if you have to have one.
I rather wait until the official comes out or the dock.
The official HTC case for the 3VO will be just like the Thunderbolts, nice and slim with a meaty metal kickstand.
i bought the body glove vibe cover from the sprint store and love it. it only comes in purple that i know of. it is 24.99 and i received 25% off for buying two accessories.
edit it fits perfectly in the car dock from sprint.
I shelled out the 35 for the kickstand case (pt) from BB. More than I would usually spend on a case but it doesn't add much bulk at all and the kickstand is nice to have. It does seem on the fragile side but it locks in pretty good so I don't think it will pop out when it's not supposed to. There are 2 settings - out and out a little further. The 2nd enables you to stand it in portrait and thus charge the phone. Not a perfect case, but pretty nice.
The body glove kickstand idea looks cool but it looks bulky and well ... it's purple.

I got this yesterday also...I really like it, and I'm not a case-kind-of-guy! My OG EVO, no case, perfect condition not a single mark on it. I feel this phone has to have it just to be able to set it down safely without scratching the camera lenses which I did on my first E3D within 4 days, not good! I feel a lot more safe with this case and the cheesy little kickstand works fine. Was hoping it would still fit into that HTC car mount but no go. Picked up the universal car mount at Sprint and I am a happy E3D owner!

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.

Coupon code is skinomi25 plus free shipping.

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....

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.

I bought my GS2 on launch day and ATT had 4 different cases in the store. Case Mate was the only one offered with a kick stand but it felt cheap so I opted not to get it. There was a nice leather case but none of them fit the phone, lol. Guess those will be sent back.

I was considering that one, but hard cases are more difficult to cut the mic opening.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ok, I got the case.
Doesn't fit 100%.
The bottom in particular, but it's barely noticeable. The top mic needs to be cut out some more, which shouldn't be too difficult since it's not plastic.
Case actually looks a lot better than I expected. The kickstand is very flimsy, which I expected. Once you put the stand up, don't put any pressure on it. It's very likely to just snap off. The power button becomes pretty stiff, too.
They also ran out of minisuit keychain screen cleaners. They said if I want one, email them about how I feel my order is "incomplete without one," and they'll send one when they have more stock.
Kind of a weird way to make us word it.
Either way, I'd recommend this if you need a very sleek and thin case that doubles as a flimsy kickstand.

Looks good and US $11.99 is not a bad price. Amazon.com has the same item labeled "by Sony" in black (ASIN: B007BXZI2O) and purple (ASIN: B007BXZYPA) for US $7.99 with free Amazon Prime Membership 2-day shipping. Non-Prime standard 3-day shipping is probably US $2.99, but I'm guessing the cost.
Hi Cat.
I'll be shipping to the UK so I need to factor in shipping. The Amazon one just looks like the same one off ebay - it doesn't look Sony branded.
For some bizarre reason I can't find them in the UK at all. Very strange.
They are both roughly the same price so I'll just choose either.
Thanks.
i seen that cover but only question is that will the case cover the IR remote on top of the tablet?

I ordered one from Amazon.com and will receive it tomorrow evening. After I install it on the tablet, I will post here to let you know whether or not the skin covers the IR sensor.
Edit: I received and installed the skin. Fits well. None of the tablet's features (power plug, buttons, speakers, etc.) are blocked. And yes, there is a hole for the IR sensor.
Hi Cat.
Please tell me what you think of the skin as I'm close to ordering one myself. Please tell me if its a tight fit (a must) and whether you think that it makes the tablet feel too think.
I really want one to make the tablet feel more solid in the hand. As much as I love Google and hate Apple I really miss the build quality of my old iPad 1. I also think HC is an abomination of an OS - What were Google thinking!!
Look forward to your report and pics would be nice if possible

I purchased a black skin (ASIN: B007BXZI2O) from Amazon.com, so go to their web site to see photographs. I like the skin. Its color is a perfect dark charcoal. It fits very well and tighly hugs the tablet's form. When I am handling the tablet, the skin does not feel like it is going to fall off and the back part does not feel floppy. It has a good industrial rubber feel and it makes the tablet feel more solid and protected, which is a plus for me because I am an industrial controls engineer and I frequently use my tablet in the field. The skin has openings in all the right places and does not block any of the tablet's features. I feel purchasing the skin was a wise choice.
Thanks for the update.
Looks like I will be purchasing one ASAP
I've just tried to purchase it off Amazon but they don't ship to the UK.
I'll have to purchase the one off ebay. It looks the same but you never know until you get it.
Just bought the one off ebay. Probably take about 2 weeks to get here. It was just over £11 with the exchange being as it is so can't grumble at the price.
Cheers.
Looks great, might look into something like this.

Do you have the Sony cradle and if so, does the tablet fit in there with the skin on it? Thanks!

Yes, I have a cradle and no, the tablet will not fit into the cradle if the skin is on it. But the skin is easy to remove and put back on (I do it carefully, taking my time), so it is not a problem for me.
Hi all.
I got the skin in the post the other day. I'm not too impressed with it TBH. It is not the snuggest of fits - its a bit loose.
I don't think I'll use it TBH. I'm getting used the plastic nature of the Tablet S.
Cheers.
Tapatalk misfire.
I'm also interested in buying a rubber skin for my Tablet S, and this one is the only one I can find (at eBay and Amazon). One user here says it's great and another says it's not so great... Anyone else has experience with these?
Ordered one on ebay
Hello All,
Just ordered on of those skins on Ebay in america...
Since im in Europe it might take a while for the thing to arrive..
I will keep you all posted
Regards Jip

I purchased a Black Silicone Skin from Amazon.com six weeks ago and so far it's held up nicely. I remove the skin nightly so I can put my tablet in its cradle and put the skin back on every morning, and today it still fits as snug as it did the first time I put it on my tablet.

Thanks. I'm definitely buying one for mine! I also have to order it from eBay, as Amazon.com doesn't ship it to my address...
If anyone is in the UK they can buy mine for £8 posted.
Only used it once.
