Here is an example : Order from Greece, 1 Silicon Case for HTC Touch HD

a. ukelement_shop price 3,49 GBP (free P & P)

b.

netimes.com

price 2 GBP plus 1,74 GBP shipping fee, total 3,74 GBP.

Both shipped with Registered Air Mail Service.

So, who is cheaper and who is expensive ? Is there so big difference ? Don't think so !!!!!!!!!!! :confused:
[Touch HD Accessories] dh-paule:
uupsss... since I didnt order at netimes I am checked just the shopping basket, and for delivery I have seen something around 11.xx BUT now I have seen that these are the cost for FED-EX. Sorry for that...

But I think this mistake will not create any problem for anybody here !

P.S: ktsak: your keyboard seems to be damaged. please fix the "!" key
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
some of those type of cases have a soft fabric inside.. this doesn't huh?

you think it would be hard to add a fabric to it? o.O or is the case too "tight" on the phone already..
[Touch HD Accessories] trentend:
It was about five working days to the UK, in my case.
[Touch HD Accessories] trentend:
I also bought two covers from netimes for the single shipping cost. Makes it very reasonable indeed.
[Touch HD Accessories] pierrelp1:
Same for me I got my silicone case yesterday !!

quite happy with it for now until HTC release theirs.
[Touch HD Accessories] Frieds:
this one is also the same as the brando webshop is selling, got mine in the mail today.
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
has anyone gotten their hard case yet? id like to see pics... is the inside just plastic or does it have some soft fabric?
[Touch HD Accessories] tkalli:
Case arrived today.

Case fits the phone, very easily.

Looks good and it feels good. Much more secure feeling when

holding it. The covered volume button works fine.

All in all, a nice case, for the money.

:)

​
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
can you post pics of the case on the phone? case alone? inside? different angles? how tight is it on the phone? would you be able to put a full body protector on it too?

i haven't gotten mine yet =/ annoying..

EDIT: does it fit in the pouch still?
[Touch HD Accessories] tkalli:
I don't use a pouch. Tried it and very tight.

​
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
sorry.. i thought you had ordered the Hard Rubber case ><.. i have the silicon one already. but thanks anyway.
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:
2-piece hard rubber case

got the 2 piece cover... snaps into place ok, adds a little more bulk to the device, but i prefer it over the silicone case. all of the openings appear to line up well. has a snug fit. cover will not close (snap into place) if you have a skin on your phone. as you can see in the pics, there's a 1 mm or less space between the top and bottom pieces. will try it out for a week or so to see if it holds up. let me know if you have any questions. i got the case on ebay; search ebay for Rubber Hard Case Protector for HTC Touch HD T8282 K-HC.

​
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
so it wont work with an invisible shield? its that tight.. cuz i have the invisible shield but not on the phone yet... and i got that case and should be coming in soon.. you think i can force it shut?
[Touch HD Accessories] frustin:
that's nice. but it wont fit in my car holder (Brodit) once fitted. :(
[Touch HD Accessories] LaPank:
Thanks for the pictures!

Does it have a soft fabric inside?

Actually: Does anyone know if there are already cases available with a soft fabric inside?
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
im waiting for mine to come in but i think they dont have fabric..

some do.. but not for the HD.. yet
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:
no fabric on the inside...
[Touch HD Accessories] ^Rook:
Hi,

Has <this one> been mentioned yet ? Has an HTC Logo on it and it looks to be made of a soft material :cool:

Regards,

Rolf
[Touch HD Accessories] kokkie:
Yes that and this one has soft material inside. But a little bit to wide for the HD.
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
how is the 2 piece rubber case going for you? o.O.. im curious.. im still waiting to install the IS since the bad reviews.. but curious how the case is going.. maybe ill still use the IS and silicon.. my hard case is taking forever to get here =/ hopefully by friday..
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:
i'm liking it more... my main concern is what happens to the phone fascia while covered with the case. i'm monitoring (read: taking it off) daily to see if there are any developing problems. i like the way it fits in my hands; the added girth makes it easier for me to hold. i took an old shield/skin and applied it to the back and sides of the case to make it "stickier" in my hands. overall i think it compliments the phone's shape and size, not to mention providing the added protection. i'll probably order another one as a backup.
[Touch HD Accessories] tboy2000:
I really like this 2 piece hard rubber design. I like the way it also covers the HTC logo, speaker and front camera area. What I am not too keen on are the 4 snap shut protrusions which spoil the look. If only there was a one piece silicon cover which looked exactly like this one. All the current silicon HD covers look horrible and cheap. It's the overlap coverage of the top of the phone that makes it look better.

Anyhow, I want to get one of these but you say that it causes marks to the phone fascia and there are bad reviews? Please expand - what marks and please provide review links.

Many thanks!

tboy2000
[Touch HD Accessories] ekerbuddyeker:
what is the URL for ordering this case?
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:
the case hasn't caused any scuffs or scratches. i've had similar cases on other phones that fit so tight, that they created small scratches on the phone. so far, that HAS NOT been the case with this cover.
[Touch HD Accessories] kokkie:
Look for it on Ebay
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:
this is the ebay link i used...
[Touch HD Accessories] Neofolis:
Has anyone tried the Aluminium case available from PDair?

It looks quite nice in the photo's and has a neoprene lining to avoid scratching the phone.
[Touch HD Accessories] Marcdu81:
Hello,i 've bought these ones :

The crystal case is perfect .
[Touch HD Accessories] ^Rook:
Hi Marc,

That looks pretty sweet :eek: The crystal case just covers the back, right ? May I ask where you got it from ?

Regards,

Rolf (35, m, The Netherlands)
[Touch HD Accessories] kokkie:
Still Waiting for DHL :(
[Touch HD Accessories] Marcdu81:
Hi,the crystal case covers all the pda ( front + rear + side ) .You can buy it here ( 8.80 € ) .
[Touch HD Accessories] ^Rook:
Thanks for the link, Marc ;)
[Touch HD Accessories] ktsak:
Try here :)
[Touch HD Accessories] ^Rook:
Hi ktsak,

Thank you for your suggestion :) I've ordered one from Ebay yesterday.

[Touch HD Accessories] Red14:
crap . . . . .sorry for doubleposting . . .please del this one?
[Touch HD Accessories] eaglesteve:
I got exactly the same case for $8 singapore dollars. Roughly AUD8, or about USD5, give or take a few cents.

I find it really good. With a screen protector in place, it gives good protection against scratches. Very comfortable to hold in my hand.

I highly recommend this. It is made of soft silicon fabric so it would not damage the HD. With this, there is no longer a need for pouch as I puts it directly into my trouser pocket. Occasionally I remove the skin to give the phone a good wiping with damp piece of cloth, so that the screen protector is grease free and the other part of the phone is dust free.

It is so cheap that you might find your postage to be the main cost component if you order over the internet.
[Touch HD Accessories] nbenwell:
PDAir Aluminium Case

I received mine yesterday - bought via eBay. Good quality but it has a major design fault, I think. The bottom of the clear plastic front cover has a thin metal strip with neoprene backing. The SLIGHTEST pressure on the case when the power is on causes the phone 'hard' button to be pressed which usually means dialling the last number used!

Has anyone else received one? Is this a common problem? If not, I'll ask for a replacement.
[Touch HD Accessories] kokkie:
Same problem. I removed the neoprene backing.

Just ordered for this one :

http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Touch-HD-T8...20336QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262

Seems to be the first of its kind for the Touch HD - its Silicone case, but its total transparent. Hope it is good too! Will post up review after i receive it.

[Touch HD Accessories] Nara-e-Mastana:
This is the silicon cover I have for my Touch HD..

[Touch HD Accessories] nbenwell:
I found that pushing the neoprene strip up a tad seems to have fixed it but my next line of attack would have been your solution. Just a pity that this was necessary.
[Touch HD Accessories] audscott:
Bought my leather case for $9.95 USD shipped off ebay. It fits great and doesn't add too much bulk.
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
I just received the same silicone cover from Brando. It is OK, but I actually prefer the iPhone silicon cover that I hacked to fit the HD. It's made by iLuv. It is two tone translucent and black, it's also much thinner which makes it weigh less and the buttons are easier to push. I hope the 3rd party iPhone companies will start producing for the HD, but I'm not holding my breath.
[Touch HD Accessories] yaelle:
These guys do lovely cases for the Iphone - I've been trying to find something similair for the HD. I especially like the very thin/fine silicon case which would work great to protect the paint from chipping without adding any significant bulk.

[Touch HD Accessories] XOMYT:
Attention! I don't know yet for Touch HD (having just asked), but their case for Diamond is not too good. The phone doesn't fix in second half, so, once dropped, the case opens, the phone flies out like a bird and falls again but this time without any hard case... :(

I had the same from Brando for Asus P535 and it just slided in and stayed there even dropped.

P.S. All the drops are occasional, do not blame me for torturing phones... :D

BTW, who have a solution for HTC Touch HD + motorbike? Something like Otterbox or RamMount?
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
I'm wondering why you'd want to mount your HD on your motorcycle?

I am a cycle rider and I always keep my HD in my jacket pocket. Nav is done via in-ear headphones connected to an iPhone headset adapter which works on the HD and can answer calls (not that I want to answer a call while flying down the road at 160kph :)
[Touch HD Accessories] rhtizzy:
probably for navigation, but I'd worry about the weather on my bike, even the sun or just the humidity could cause problems to the fine electronics..

I also wonder whether there's something out there that will protect the camera when not in use? No leather pouches or the like, cos they just have too much bulk, but a silicon cover with a sliding or rotating flap or some such...
[Touch HD Accessories] Nara-e-Mastana:
Please share the pictures of your cover which you hacked to fit the HD..

Thanks in advance.
[Touch HD Accessories] kokkie:
The HD sits tight in the case. I've even dropped the case with the HD in it. Great case for persons with tougher jobs.

Thanks for the link to netimes ktsak. I ordered some from the company in China and it should arrive here tomorrow. Actually ordered the silver and white and silicon case for it as well as a screen protector and cradle. Will let everybody know how the stuff is.

[Touch HD Accessories] projection:
Just bought a blackstone and ordered this case:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CRYSTAL-HARD-...286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:15|39:1|240:1318

They should arrive about at the same time. Will let you know how they are.
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:
ordered a gray version of this case from ebay and should be here in a couple of days.... more of a form fitting silicon version that doesn't add additional girth. i've been using the semi-hard black-rubber version (e.g., same design and form as hard crystal case mentioned above) for a couple of weeks with no issues.
[Touch HD Accessories] projection:
I was thinking if perhaps the silicon case protects better.

It's softer, so if the phone should fall, it will soften the fall a bit.

I'll try the transparent crystal case - and if that's not very good, i'll get the silicon case. Just IMO the crystal case looks much slicker. They are so cheap (2 euro), that it is not a problem to try all of them :)
[Touch HD Accessories] rhtizzy:
I'm a little baffled, everbody eating themselves up about surface scratches but nobody worries about the camera lens??? If more people spent the same energy on a solution for the lens the manufacturers might smarten up a bit.. Probably just another inconvenient truth?
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
I have just ordered one of these "new raw material" silicone cases in white, which is really like translucent judging from the video. It looks thinner and lighter than the Brando. I guess I'll find out in about a week.
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
I don't have my camera with me. To give a brief explanation, I had to cut with an exacto-knife a hole for the headphone jack, the speaker and the camera. I didn't bother with the stylus since it was supposed to be temporary :rolleyes:

The silicone case is easy to cut, but it isn't easy to get the holes in the perfect place and it isn't easy to make the holes look nice. I got the holes as smooth as I could with the knife and used fine sand paper to smooth over the rough spots. I don't recommend doing this unless you don't care that it looks perfect, or you are really talented with an exacto-knife and sand paper and have a lot of patience :D.
[Touch HD Accessories] projection:
Btw, i noticed another silicon case.

http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-CONTOUR-SILI...20336QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262

The good thing about this one, is that it seems to cover the speaker area also. Looks like the best of the rubber and silicon cases combined so far.

Anyone want to give it a whirl?
[Touch HD Accessories] redrazr7791:
so......i take it all the accessories for this phone have to be imported into the U.S.? As of right now no domestic U.S. based distributors or online stores? :(
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:
yep... that's the current situation. ebay options are our best bet at the moment. prices are low enough to allow one to try multiple options, i.e., like me. for the past 2-3 weeks i've been using the 2 piece semi-hard case and it does a great job of protecting the metal surfaces. should be receiving my smaller, more form fitting case and car-holder this weekend or early next week. both items cost me $18 USD shipped from Hong-Kong.

hope you're enjoying your new toy!
[Touch HD Accessories] PelloG:
i ordered a crystal case for my HD from ebay but i have some questions:

1. What about scratches from lint in the case? Is the HD safe?

2. How does the HD fits in the case? Is it really snug fit?

3. Anyone knows a good car mount for the Crystalcase HD?
[Touch HD Accessories] this_mike:
EaseCase holders

Not strictly on topic (leather not silicone), but it is a case :-)

If you're still undecided about cases and can stretch to £28 then have a look at the EaseCases on eBay. They've got a range of models and are very adaptable with adding holes and so on (I asked for a cut-out for headphones and it's great). As well as the case shapes, you're able to choose from a number of types of leather for both the outside and inside as well as closures, belt-loops and engraving...

It's a seriously luxurious case! It's also surprisingly tough - I was expecting it to be much softer but it feels as if it would take quite a lot of abuse. Rather than witter on, PM me if you'd like me to bang out a quick review.
[Touch HD Accessories] Kenjari:
Just bought one should be here in mid Jan.
[Touch HD Accessories] onesolo:
Is there any Transparent Silicone Case?? Not white or semi-transparent, but fully transparent case...

I see a lot of this for ordinary phones, but not for pdas...
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
As a matter of fact, YES! I just received mine in the post.

http://www.jpshk.com/index.php?mode=PrtInfo&idno=1295

It's perfect for me, very durable and tight. It is tougher and possibly less shock resistant than silicone. It sticks in your hands but doesn't show finger prints like black. Yes I'm still talking about a phone cover :p.

I bought it here, good service.

[Touch HD Accessories] blacksage:
Thanks for your post Matterhorn

I have purchased on the cases that you have for my Touch HD and was trying to find a softer case that could still slip in and out of my pocket easily. That, I believe, is the drawback of the sticky silicon cases. I hope this one is less sticky. Thanks for you post.

blacksage
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
Well, it is kind of sticky. Personally I like it because it won't easliy slip off of a table or out of my hands. It is tough enough to not rip when you pull it from your pocket. Of course with very tight jeans, a naked HD is the easiest to pull out :eek::D

If you want a cover that protects but is slippery, maybe you should get the crystal hard plastic model.
[Touch HD Accessories] redrazr7791:
Hey guys, is there any good sites for the hard shell cases, like the one CORTEZ posted about? im really not into the silicone ones, or I would order one from BOXWAVE since they have them in stock. Im looking for a snap on hard case. :D

Look for the "ruberized hardcase" on ebay.

Yea but is this a store, or do we have to outbid someone? Im looking for a store to order one from, although i do like the case, with strap and screen protector :D:D
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:
ebay is the place to go, and you can use the buy it now option... that's where i ordered all my cases. i have a black and red rubberized case like the one in the pics above. i also have a newer, more form fitting silicone case that should be here this week. these cases are cheap enough that i'm willing to try a few to find the best one. as on now, the best for my needs is the black rubberized case (like the one in the pic above).
[Touch HD Accessories] redrazr7791:
AHA their he is, thanks Cortez for the help, will be buying one tonight :D Has anyone ordered from that OEMbest yet? Prices look good, wouldn't mind buying a couple of accessories tonight
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:
got my "tight-fit" silicone case today... it's a gray color and - IMHO - this is the best form-fitting case i've had to date. it protects all the exposed metal surfaces and provides a good bit of "grippy-ness" without being sticky. see my pics below... the first pic is from the ebay seller's auction.
[Touch HD Accessories] redrazr7791:
Hey cortez, did you order that case from the 2buyhk.com guy, just ordered one right now, and wanted to get your feedback about him or the whole shipping process. PM me if need be
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:
i believe the seller is e-story. took 1 (7-day) week for it to arrive, which is good coming from HK.
[Touch HD Accessories] redrazr7791:
yea that was the guy, i requested the grey case after i had ordered it, wasn't interested in the white case. Ok so now i have 2 cases coming in, this bad boy is going to be protected :D:D:D

SILICONE CASE SAVES THE DAY!

I dropped my phone today from waist level onto the cement side walk. It bounced like a tennis ball and the stylus flew out. It landed/bounced on the bottom left corner and ended up on its face down....... a true moment of panic, then relief as not a single scratch.
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
That looks exactly like the one I bought, see post #102, mine is clear. It really is the best one I've seen so far. It doesn't seem to stretch out and loose it's shape like the previous silicon cases. I like the fact that I can see the blinking light next to the ON/OFF button through the plastic.
[Touch HD Accessories] ez2remember:
Does the case add much bulk?

I'm going to order one anyway. Seems nice...

Many thanks
[Touch HD Accessories] redrazr7791:
Heck with the prices so good, i had to stop myself from buying a third case. I have 2 one the way, one that is a rubberized snap on and the silicone case that is being discussed. Can't wait till they get here :D
[Touch HD Accessories] firbec:
Hi to everyone

cortez.i I am looking your post #111 and I have question for you. Is this grey color silicone skin case on your pictures or white ?
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:
@firbec: my apology for the poor pics; yes, it's the grey colored case.

@ez2remember: there's a minimal increase in girth, but it's barely noticeable in my opinion. it's not like some of the early rubber/silicone cases that added more bulk. this case is truly form-fitting, protects all the metal surfaces and compliments the HD.
[Touch HD Accessories] gaiden:
yuppp

yeah same here... i dropped my tytn countless... but yet still almost no scratch on it... just sold it yesterday gud price..
[Touch HD Accessories] projection:
Do you think this is the same case? http://cgi.ebay.com/GREY-Silicone-C...286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:15|39:1|240:1318
[Touch HD Accessories] firbec:
hi again

you dont need to apologize ;) I just want to know it is grey or like on this picture looks like transparent grey, so I am little confused because transparent looks much better on HTC then grey for me.

regards
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
In this model they have both translucent grey and transparent. I bought the transparent one, it still looks black since the HD is black. I think they would both look good.
[Touch HD Accessories] firbec:
is possible to put HTC with case into Desktop Cradle or there must be naked ?

http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=175740
[Touch HD Accessories] rhtizzy:
I have the HTC cradle and there's actually no adapter included for the HD so it's basically just hovering on the plug with about 3mm's to spare between the HD and the cradle itself on the bottom and about 1mm at the back. If the case is thinner that then it shouldn't be a problem, but otherwise..
[Touch HD Accessories] malestrom:
I just received my cases today.I bought a silicon black,2 crystal cases a Flip Type Case and 4 screen protectors.

The screen protectors are provided with a cloth and they are protected on both sides with a clear membrane,which you peel off.The flip type is beautiful.The phone snugs in great.The silicon is great also but...do not buy the crystal cases.They do not close all the way.The won't "latch" on the bottom and they simply pop open instantly and with no pressure at all.

This problem is with both of the clear cases.Other than that go for the silicon or the Flip type!

Sadly this not the case they where advertising here:

http://www.netimes.com/shop/protective-crystal-case-for-htc-touch-hd-t8282-p-1529.html?cPath=80_612

And you can see if you compare the usb opening.I have sent them an email and waiting for a reply.

Take care.

My crystal case fits very nice and won't pop open as yours. Mine looks also a little diefferent from yours, eg no clips on the bottom.
