Accessories Htc desire cases

[RetroDude]

I came across this case by mistake the other day on Amazon, its seems to be a universal one so I don't know how well it would fit the desire (even though it says desire... Anyone had one?

Just ordered one of these: Black Silicone Phone Case Cover for HTC Desire on eBay (end time 23-Jun-10 22:33:18 BST)

Normally I like my things to be in bright colours (for example my ipod is in a white/orange 'book style' leather case) but all the ones I can find for the Desire look really tacky. I contemplated with this but wasn't too sure.

Guess I should grow up sooner or later

Hopefully it'll arrive the same day/before my Desire on Thursday. Most of the feedback says speedy delivery.

The Case-mate tough case is probably the most ideal case as you can have just the back protected or the front too with the add-on, but obviously makes it harder to use the phone.

What add-on?

Just came across these on ebay, ive already ordered a case mate barely there (black) and martin fields screen protectors. But these looks kinda cool, and at that price wont break the bank.

Case-Mate Tough Case photos are starting to appear - looks pretty good.

I really wish Otterbox would make a case for Desire owners. I think we should all ask them.

Thanks for the report. Let us know how the Noreve case compares.
Shofar

I got the Noreve case after a delay and it was worth the wait. Really snug fit, slimmer than Proporta, and opens without covering camera, wider colour range than Proporta.

Only downside I've experienced is that the steel backing plate(or screws) affect the compass when navigating so aluminium would be an improvement. Just have to remove from cover for compass function for now.

Best leather one on the market just now.

I also bought a waterproof case from aquapac and had the guts to test on full submersion and was pleased to say it floats and didn't leak. Handy for outdoor and offshore navigation.

Had a look at some of these cases and they look terrible. I finally narrowed it down a took a punt.

This one fits nicely and looks professional.

The pull-up works a teat. For

I got one of these eXpansys Leather Case for HTC Desire (with Belt Clip) #PT7 - eXpansys UK and it is rubbish leather strips around the edge cover part of the screen so you have to take the phone out of the pouch to be able to use all its functions. But the worst was the belt clip which broke after 24 hours

I use a GREEN HYBRID HARD PROTECTION CASE COVER FOR HTC DESIRE

GREEN HYBRID HARD PROTECTION CASE COVER FOR HTC DESIRE: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

Its very good, feels good in the hand, has a slight rubber texture but is hard plastic,
it clips together well and fits very closely so very little room for movement or dirt.
It has a slight lip on the front so I dont worry too much about putting it face down, and I use a screen protector as well for added peace of mind.

Love it

 

[Crankyhorse]

Just ordered a Krusel Leather case from Mobile Fun. It says its due to be discontinued and is temporarily out of stock.

Dunno what my chances of getting it are but I had one for an old Nokia years ago and I loved the modular mounting system. If it ever arrives I will get the car, bike and belt mounts for it.

There are a wide range of cases for the HTC Desire and other phones on http://www.fundevice.com - Lots of fun, all of the time. - selling: toys, gift ideas, gadgets


I'm very happy with my desire apart from the fact it randomly deletes my text messages every now and again. HTC have told me this is an orange ROM problem though. am hoping 2.2 fixes this issue.

I recently tried some ebay covers from

a Hong Kong dealer.

Got a couple of

these hard cases. Fit perfectly. 2 parts, front and back, click together. A bit fiddly to take off, and easy to break the clips if ur taking it off alot. But the feel is excellent, a smooth hardened silicone/PVC feel. and it looks great.

Also got a couple of

these soft rubber cases from the same dealer. Single piece gel silicone, stretches over the corners. Feels far more rubbery, would probably take a few drops without and marks. No hole for power or volume buttons, just slightly thinner runner there. Looks cheap and a bit crappy, prefer the hard cases myself

agreed.

The Casemate site is also showing an HTC Desire "Torque Case" as coming soon
- this is the next iteration of the Vroom case (looks like a car tyre) that you can get for Nexus One

... here's some pictures of the iPhone 4 version

Flagship - not sure if it helps, but some pictures on main site in each colour

 

[Flagship]

@Craig.O I was hoping for pictures other than the ones on the main site, is it always Chrome iswhat I'm wondering

I just got a Brando silicone case and an Ultraclear screen protector. I'm quite pleased with both of them.

The screen protector is very good: it's thin, it has a good feel, and it was very easy to put on - got it right the first time, no problems. It is, however, a few mm short of the Desire's screen width - not a lot, but it is noticeable if you align it all the way to one side. Once the phone was in the case, though, it was no longer noticeable.

The case is looser than I thought it would be (I honestly thought that it would be a tight fit). This makes it very easy to put on and pull out. And strangely enough, once the phone is in, it doesn't feel loose.

I would also dare say that the black one looks better than the blue one they picture on the site. It's completely opaque (it has beveled indicators where the buttons are - not great, but passable) and it looks good on the phone.
