Is it me or is everything for the tilt 2 expensive and HARD TO FIND or un available. I love silicon cases right, so I wanted to buy one for my new tilt 2, CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE! I found one for a T-Mobile touch pro 2 but it was black, not fitted for my device, ugly and EXPENSIVE! I tried to look for a spare stylus just in case, on Ebay I found ONE for $15!!!!!!! Tried to get a spare battery cover just in case something happened to mine, CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE! Not on ebay, amazon or anywhere. I ended up ordering the european touch pro's battery cover for $20!! Batteries for the tilt 2 are hard to come across and are as much as $50 for one. I have never had so much trouble finding accessories for a phone as popular as this that is used on 4 MAJOR carriers. The pure, which is only supported on At&t has silicon cases in any color for maximum $5. Battery backs for $5-7 and the other accessories are even cheaper. Does anyone have an explanation for this, sorry for my rage I just need to express my anger towards this predicament.

The issue stems from the fact that each carrier's version of the TP2 is just slightly different enough that many accessories will only work on one or two of them...so that presents the obvious challenge to manufacturers of trying to guess which models it's worth producing compatible accessories (like cases) for.
Boxwave does carry a line of silicone-like cases for the Tilt2, but I don't know if the styling will suit you.
I feel your pain. I want a rubber case for mine and I had thought I found one on ebay (it was the only one listed). I decided to send the seller a message just to make sure that it would fit a Tilt2. He said no, it was just for the TP2, EVEN THOUGH TILT2 WAS IN THE TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It does seem like everything is for the TP2 and not the Tilt2. But that's okay, I still love the phone.
Do you think the european touch pro 2 battery back will look okay on the tilt 2? I ordered it but haven't gotten it yet, but on the plus side the annoying PTT button wont be their (YAY FOR ME!). I hope it works..... I also hope my dream of silicon cases will come true
Eh, the PTT button is decidedly ungay. use Rhodium Keyboard Config to map it to do awesome **** like rotate screen on single click, disconnect data on double click, toggle wifi on triple, and bluetooth toggle on hold...
Really? Well, if I could find a Tilt 2 battery cover i'd use it. Otherwise not an option for me....
I'm quite sick of the whole situation myself
I totally feel your pain... and Hell, I live in L.A. where you'd think you should be able to find damn near anything on a shelf somewhere, but not a chance. Not even the AT&T stores here carry anything. If you have a Blackberry or an iPhone, then you have more choices than brains, but for anything HTC, good luck. And sorry, I'm not keen on shopping for some things online and accessories for this phone with so many variables is one of them. Someone is missing out on $$$
Okay, I have succeded a huge feat that only people's wild imaginations could think up. I have completed a challange so difficult, gorrillas and llamas will be terrified to death to think of the trouble and harshness I went through to complete this amazing acomplishment. This is no longer a figment of your imagination but a reality! I have found..... A SILICONE CASE FOR THE TOUCH PRO 2! I was searching in the Amazon for the mysterious silicone case when suddenly it popped out of no where! I found green, black, purple, pink, red, blue, and any other color of the rainbow. I was tempted to attack the deal and was just about to finish and proudly show my trophy when.... Amazon doesn't support paypal.... Oh well. Just a little over exaggeration. I did find them on amazon.com but no paypal support so ima have to wait
This site has silicone and rubberized for the tilt 2. http://www.talkietech.com/athtcti2ac.html
Where? The one I found was made for the t-mobile version and is $6.
If you're willing to do a little trimming (PTT button), then most of the Touch Pro 2 plastic, rubberized and silicone cases can be used.
TP2 Silicone case from a hong kong vendor on e-bay:
sorry I can't post link because I'm a new user.
OOh, put it as the title, put a space between every 3 letters or so. I dont have a ppt button anymore, gave it up for a new battery cover.
What accessories exist for the Jetstream?

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

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....:-\
Like the title says telesales has Lte accessories in stock. They have to manually search for what you want but I just managed to pick up the body glove tactic white/grey case and the car dock. Should be here Friday. Didn't feel like driving to the store to pick them up as the store refuses to sell accessories for the lte until the phone is launched. Total price shipped 51.98

How did you find that out? Did you see them in-store, then order online? I ordered the Body Glove Tactic from htcpedia in red/black. Hope I like it...
I called telesales a few times until I got a smart person that knew how to search by description. The htc blue gel skin code is czh9700r if anyone wants it as well. Looked too powder blueish for my liking.

After returning two cases to T-Mobile, looking at the lame Incipio cases at ATT, looking at Amazon every day and almost pulling the trigger on a cheap enough Supcase, I finally scrolled thru all the crap on Ebay and ordered 3 cases for a grand total of 22 dollars, yes 20 dollars less than the cheapest case at T-Mobile or ATT. Can you believe the S-View is 65 dollars at Att online, 59.99 from Samsung and lucky for me back ordered or I would have wasted money lol. I'm sure one of these 3 cases will be a winner, a man can dream right?
I originally had 6 cases in my cart and then narrowed it down, I have a white Note 3 fyi, here are the links to the 3 finalists in case anyone likes my taste, it took me 2 hours to wade through pages of them. I only looked at sellers in the United States, only Free shipping and of course buy it now. Can you believe some guy was reselling 5 dollar Upcases from Amazon for 49.99 on Ebay? I doubt anyone is dumb enough to buy one, especially savvy Note 3 owners. Guess I'll be reviewing these 3 cases in a few days lol

The Caseology case could be found cheaper on Amazon and that S View case you bought will not work as stated by other users in the S View threads. The $65 cases are the only working S View cases as of this moment. If you can cancel that Caseology case, you should and buy it on Amazon. It's the same seller too.

The Caseology is the same price once you add the 3 dollar shipping charge on Amazon it becomes 7.99 as well.
I put in a cancel request for the S-View one, worst case he sends it and I don't like I can return it. The description does say it will turn off and on the screen and you can use clocks and music etc thru the window, I sent him a message saying if they don't work I want to cancel but he is 98% rated on Ebay big seller so I'm sure he won't want a bad review either way.

They put "Leather" and "Matte" in their title. That's what got me since on Amazon it's either matte or the leather version. I was thinking of just the leather case which is $5 shipped.
I live in Canada and I bought a UAG case from USA, California, and I think the package is stuck at Canadian customs for some reason. It's been almost 2 weeks and I did not receive my case yet nor did I get an update on my tracking status. Something is going on, did this happen to any other Canadian that ordered a UAG case?
Did you buy it directly from UAG?
I live in the US but when I ordered my last UAG case for m Galaxy S4, it literally took 3 weeks to get to my house. It was like they pretended to ship it the day after my order was placed then waited until 2 weeks later to actually send it out.
They may be slow at shipping, but their customer service is great if the case breaks. They replaced mine for free because there was a slight crack in it and didnt even ask to have the broken one sent back.
Mine shipped to me in a week.. Very good. And excellent customer service...
They are working on a revision to the case due to flash glare from camera flash...this could be reason for the delay.. Contact them by email.. They are fast to respond

Oh man...once they come out with one that doesnt destroy the flash functionality, I may have to get one. I am actually starting to like my unicorn beetle pro though
i live in alberta and it took about 2 weeks to get to me, i ordered directly from the UAG website. I also complained about the flash ghosting, got my $39.99 back and got to keep the case. Enough cant be said for customer service like that. If and when they release a revised version I will be buying it just on the principal that they gave me this one for free.
