How does the keyboard function with this case? Do you have to open the front of the case (which is on a hinge to the back, a la Eixo aluminum Hard Case) and then slide out the keyboard (I find this annoying), or are the front and back parts separate and clipped on to the screen and the back such that you can slide them apart directly? (The latter is a nice advantage of the $2 Chinese eBay plastic parts: they just snap on to the front and back.)

My problem with the snap-on type, and everything that is "form-fitting": I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario IV, which is T-Mobile's version of the Touch Pro. And it has a very nice front and back that don't have those ugly geometric "pleats" on back (its smooth and rounded with a nice rubberized texture). BUT, the problem is that anything that is made to be form-fitting for a generic HTC Touch Pro won't fit on my fone because of the slight differences in curvature of the front and back cover. :(

-Z

PS. I see that the Body Glove is for the AT&T Fuze, and the Fuze also has a back cover thats different from the standard HTC Touch pro back. I think the Fuze is, like the T-Mobile MDA Vario IV, rounded and doesn't have the weird edgy pleats. Maybe someone can confirm that?

re: the rubberized skins

I was truly excited to get mine in the mail not long ago, only to find that one side of it slides very easily but the other side gets caught up. (There are tiny tracks that fit together on each side which hold the top to the bottom, yet allow the keyboard to slide out.) Also, after sliding out the keyboard, the side that slides easily slides far enough that it ends up coming out of the track altogether leaving one end of the skin in two pieces.... which isn't much of a "skin." I've tried a couple fixes, put it back on the phone and always think I can deal, but end up taking the skin off halfway through the day. Have I mentioned that I'm a textaholic? Yeah, so... it works GREAT for preventing scratches/dings, feels great in your hand, keeps your phone from flying out of pockets and onto floor, or across the desk, etc... it's just not so great when accessing the keyboard... in MY case anyway. I haven't completely given up hope though. I'll most likely order another, especially since they're so inexpensive, in hopes that I was simply lucky enough to get a crappy one. Nevermind the fact that the faulty one is an obnoxious shade of hot pink. I was kinda looking forward to that. *nodding*

i love the way this case looks.. it's easily the nicest, most professional looking case i've found.

can't seem to justify spending $64 on a case though.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] TVDinner:
$64!!!! WOW that is a lot. It is a good looking case. The only problem I have personally with cases like this is that you have to do a ton of opening to get to the actual phone. If you are using the phone a lot for emails and calls and programs, then it seems very hard to keep opening and closing this style of case. But that being said, those do look really nice.

New AT&T Fuze Black Rubberized Case

FYI... I purchased this case from nakedcellphone on ebay and it fits perfectly. It's adds a little thickness to the phone, but the rubberized grip feels good and slide still works fine.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] kitsVA:
Did anyone try the Beyza Slimline case that is made for Omnia for Fuze? It is known to fit on Xperia. I am hoping it will fit on the Fuze I just bought from amazon.

I checked the dimesions and feel that if it fits Xperia it should Fuze as well.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] flagerr:
ok, i already have the invisible shield, now i need a case with a clip on it.

does this one works?

http://www.boxwave.com/products/holsterclip/holster-clip-htc-fuze_3349.htm

has anyone use this one?

any comment? it does looks good and practical.

uh oh, i totally forgotten, i use bestskinever, not invisible shield this time.

i was thinking about my old phone when i was writing this
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] AkWizKid:
Does the Invisble Shield live up to it's promises?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] flagerr:
well, it does protect my phone from scratches, but not from the impact. its basically just a whole body skin.

i do love the feel of the phone after i put it on. much better than any silicone skin.

i've use IS for most of my gadget, and now can't live without it.

hahaha

well, there are also other cheaper options like bestskinever, but since i got the 50% discount, i'll go for IS.

edit:

uh oh, i totally forgotten, i use bestskinever, not invisible shield this time.

well, for this phone, i didnt got the 50% code, so i got the bestskinever, for me there is almost no difference between the two of them
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] mattbratt:
If it is the one I got, it is 9.99. It is a Moda brand, and is PERFECT for the Fuze.

Fuze OEM screen protector

Does anyone know where i can get one from?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] AkWizKid:
There should have been one included in the box the phone came in.

screen protector

I tried a few screen protectors and here is my review:

1) OEM screen protector that came with the phone: The best screen protector i have used so far. Excellent for TouchFlo and good clarity. Unfortunately, I had to get my phone replaced under warranty and the replacement didn't come with a screen protector.

2) Clear Protector (bought on ebay): Very thin and precisely cut for Fuze. Not very clear. Not good for TouchFlo at all.

3) Pocke Solutions Screen protector: Not good for TouchFlo. Not very clear. Cut is not precise.

I just ordered one of those mirror screen protectors on ebay. Seeing how the seller is in Hong Kong, they should arrive within a month, oh yeah! Stay tuned for the review.

I just hope i don't end up spending more on the screen protector than the phone!!!

Horizontal case

So I have been looking for a decent case for a week now and finally found this one at Best Buy that looks cool and fits great.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...&ref=06&loc=01&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=8992548

They have it in black which is what I bought but couldn't find a link online for it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] naveen:
is this a clear case?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] naveen:
the only thing i do not like about these soft cases is that you answer the phone accidently once in a while.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] rkatzla:
Bought this case a month ago and loved it. Unfortunately, the plastic belt clip broke after a week, so be careful.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] fahreneit100:
This is technically not a case. Its a invisible Full device protector you can say covering the front,back and sides of the device. Its just 0.2mm thick and very clear in terms of transparency. May be you can watch their installation page http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/Installation.html to get an idea of what the product is. Bcos I dont think they have put up any picture of what actually the product looks like. Very poorly marketed product..:D:D I think I will have to advise them on this...:p:p: I am very soon getting GadgetShieldz for my Nokia N79 also. Will try to post a review when installing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] punglam:
Did anybody try the GadgetShieldz protector?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] naveen:
i checked out the video. to me it seems that the case may not provide enough shielding for my taste.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] wrxdrunkie:
bought this one as well, it did fit perfectly, now its so tight that the touch screen does not work properly, did you have the same problem? It is apparently a common thing. This case is perfect aside from that problem, the whole touch screen not working. I wonder if the body glove case has this problem?

Original htc touch pro pouch case

I've been waiting 2 weeks or better on my OEM htc pouch........... from the dreaded expansys :(

Today expansys called to say that pouch has been discontinued :mad:

If anyone knows where I can get one (new or used), I would forever be indebted........ well probably not forever, but I really want one damnit!

This is the closest thing i have found, but I bet the pro wont fit it very well.

If anyone is thinking about getting the Krusell Small-Wide for your touch pro, don't. It's too large for the touch pro. It'll fit the Kaiser but not the touch pro. I bought the case for my Fuze but now I use it for my Tilt, :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] hogsforce:
Got this great piece of case to share.

From ebay. I ordered it last week, and it just reached my mailbox today. Time taken: 6 days.

Before this case, I was using a rubber silicon case for my TP. It was soft and nice to hold. BUT, I always got problem getting it out of my pocket as the rubber is creating a huge resistance against my jeans. I don't use any leather pouch whatsoever. I prefer a 2nd skin, so to speak, over my phone as my job often gets my hand dirty and I dont want to touch my phone case with my dirty hands. Hence, I ordered this case over ebay and thought of giving it a try.

Well, just got it over my beloved Touch Pro. I must say the fit is good, nice feel, and access to buttons are not covered. Stylus can be pulled out without obstacle (my previous rubber silicon had to be modified by myself for the stylus to come out)

Not a bad case upon first day. Worth the money I would say.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] soler:
I got this one for my 8525...

...and was told that Wirelessground.com will have them in 14 days for the Fuze. I like this case (see link below) for several reasons:

1. removeable belt clip, and the knob that the clip hooks to can be taken out. It is screwed in. I have never had it come out on its own...in fact when I finger-tighten it, I always had to use pliers to take it off. When the knob is take out, the case is pretty slim (for an 8525, anyway) and can go in my pocket.

2. Leather. Good quality.

3. Clear vinyl cover over the LCD. I know that just the screen protector sheet that came with the phone isn't enough protection when I wear this on my belt.

4. Has all the holes in all the right places to access every button and the USB plug. Can use the phone without taking it out of the case.

5. Some people might think of this as a bad thing, but the phone has to be taken out of the case to use the keyboard. Most cases, you have to take the phone out of the case to use it at all. The 8525 fit snug, but wasn't difficult to remove.

6. Price is good.

I'll let y'all know when I get it

incidentally, i purchased the case in the second link, and it sucks! No vinyl cover for the screen, and the phone wouldn't even fit...I couldn't get it snapped. I can't imagine trying to get the phone out on a regular basis to use the sliding keyboard. I do like the clip, which will screw into my Monaco when I get it!

I'm waiting for this one...

[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] tonyjoyner:
It might be a nice case, but how could one ever know? I ordered one of these on 2/3/2009, and the website said they had black in stock. Got an e-mail from them the next day informing me that they had none and it would ship in 7 to 10 business days. So far, the order has not been fulfilled, and the company agent (Natalie Spiller) doesn't answer the phone. Ever.

Also, be forewarned that these people take your money as soon as the order is placed and not when the case is shipped. Bad business, that.

No matter how fine the case, it's no good if they won't ship it to you. Anybody else have a problem with this company?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] cincy1020:
Hi:

I am hoping someone can help. I saw a case (maybe in this post, but I can't find it now). It was customizeable, leather type (smooth, or grainy etc), interior, type of closure etc. I seem to recall it was in the Sixty something price range. It is not the customizable one from Ebay.

It's driving me crazy that I can't find it., so any help will be appreciated :)

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] rkatzla:
Vaja makes excellent cases with a number of options, although nothing specific for the FUZE. They do have something pretty close: http://www.vajacases.com/images/mobile/vaja/horizontal_pouch/classic/horizontal_pouch.html. Shipping charges can get costly.

Hi:

Just curious. I just ordered a similar case (before I saw your post of course). In which direction was the case too big? The one I ordered is also Krusell, but seems to be several millimeters smaller lengthwise.

Is the case WAY to big, or could it be used?

I'm searching for a very long time now for a good case but still with no sucses. I want a case like the one that BlackBerry makes.

It's a case when you put It In the case the phone goes to sleep mode, and when you get It out of the case It turns on.

Are there any cases like that for the Touch Pro?

Thanx
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] tyguy:
@Fabian1985

what you describe IS possible with the Raphael/Fuze but has NOTHING to do with the case (or do you think the BB cases have a hidden switch). Look around for some software (touchlock pro etc.) and configure your LIGHT sensor for this functionality. BTW I do NOT like to have my phone switched on when taking out of the case or pocket since you may answer a call you don't wanna take at the same time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Sartuche24:
I purchased the body glove case and loved it UNTIL I hit the corner of the phone in the right spot and my phone flew out of the case and onto the floor. Lucky me it landed on the front and the case protected the phone, this has happened to me 3 times and I've had the phone for only a week. Every time it has landed on the front. I'm ditching the body glove case and ordering the $10 case off of ebay. I prefer the phone in my pocket anyways because with the screen towards by leg nothing is going to hurt it.

A silicone case from Amazon for .01

yes, no kidding, was searching for the super mugen battery thinking amazon might have it but they didn't.

Found this case and ordered a few more (figure their return policy is good):

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GV01LA

Cost for this case is one penny.

Not very sure what to expect but was intrigued how they could sell it for a penny.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] mark72501:
Yes, the BB cases are made specifically for that purpose...they do have a 'switch' as you say (seemingly jokingly?) in the form of a magnet that allows this feature to work. Then within the BB settings you can configure it to act differently when in the case than when not.

Aluminum Fuze Case

Does anyone have personal experience with this case:

http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-54523/AT%26T+Fuze+Black+Aluminum+Metal+Case.html

I have a Invisible shield in the drawer for when My Fuze arrives Monday and I was thinkin' that this case with the shield installed would be the cats meow.

BTW; speaking of pets; my puppy got ahold of my wife's LG Incite when she left it behind on a store run and even though it is the ONLY thing he ever chewed in his life :mad:(he is still breathing) the invisible shield totaly protected the screen and even when he got the battery door off and nawed on the corner the shield was still in tack! I'm sold. I will have to buy a new back door due to the curl that was left but the shield did it's job.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] elathan:
being in the UK my raphael (XDA Serra) came with the slim leather/hard backed sleeve case, which i find great for around the house and some pocket use (yes i keep it in a case even in the house! i love my HTC's ok) so i ordered the official HTC touch pro case off expansys for work and day to day use, and thats great to, good closure, and a tight belt clip (i wear scubs all day at work, so there is no belt to hold on to, just a cord in the scrub bottoms) just my say, as im trying to contribute a bit more to this great forum, as its given me so much over the last 2 years.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] mark72501:
I can't speak for it personally BUT I've read in several places that folks who have used the metal/aluminum cases have noticed a drop in signal quality due to the metal shielding the antenna some from getting out. One bit I read somewhere suggested that it would cause the phone to operate at a higher power to get the signal out when in a call and that this was also dangerous. I can see how the metal cases would probably do this. For that reason I have steered clear. Just my two-cents worth...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] ribcage:
Metal Case

I would reccomend avoiding the metal case, too. I bought the Pdair one and I lost signal completely in low signal areas. When I removed the case, the signal would come back in seconds. To me, that's a serious flaw

Rubberised cases cracking

While I'm on the subject of cases, I've been having a problem with the rubberized cases. I will mention that I think they're great. I love being able to answer a call or reply to a text without removing my device from a case or typing through a plastic sleeve. The rubberised case and a Martin Fields screen protector has been doing the job. I don't even mind the bit of sanding required for a perfect fit and functionality. My problem is that the cases are cracking on the weaker points after a short while. I've been through 3 cases in the past 4 months or so and I have never dropped my device; in fact I baby it. A crack just seems to develop on a thin area of the plastic until it cracks through. The cases are pretty cheap, so I buy two at a time. At this rate, it's becoming expensive and annoying. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you know of a case with this design that is stronger? As always, I appreciate your input.

Gadget Shielding ATT Fuze

Guys, finally after 40 minutes of handshaking job I was able to put gadgetshieldz on my ATT Fuze. I will say, though it was not a perfect job but with free shipping and $7.50 for full body scratch proof protection, its really worth it. I left the OEM screen protector as it is, but rest of the body is fully shielded with GS now. I have attached few pictures for reference.

Between I would like to mention that GS screen protector are for HTC Raphael. By that I mean it has small hole on top right side corner for front camera, which ATT Fuze is missing, but rest of the part is perfect match.

So here it is

1. Invisible

2. Scratch proof

3. Full Body Guard

4. And best of all its cheap and fast free shipping ;)

please share your experience on this product. and, is it hard to apply it to the phone by yourself?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Black C5:
The Invisible Shield is a great product and discounts are usually available. The only thing is that it is difficult to install. It comes with a spray solution that is supposed to make it adjustable when you first lay it on your device. Not so! It sticks like glue unless you have a bowl of water (with some soap would make it even more slippery) to dip the entire panel into, and even then it is not easy. I have not tried any other brands (except for cheap ones on older devices) so I cannot make and comparisons. I have "Invisible Shield" on my Cannon digital camera and the full body version on my Fuze. They are VERY durable and even when slipping in and out of tight cases, the corners do not come up. Mine has been installed for weeks and I use a Case Logic horizontal clip-on case that is very tight and there is no sign of the film lifting.
