This case is ok ... but I like my Kursell orbit Flex Case a lot better the flip leather lid Comes off thats so great plus I love the tight plastic over the keyboard....

There are several nice looking cases available - the Kursell is one & Pdair makes a couple, although recall looking at others as well - that utilize the Plastic Sheath Over The Keyboard approach. Looked long & hard at several of these, as (like the Kursell) some have a very elegant look!

Unfortunately could not get past the plastic sheath. This strays into "personal preference" territory, but

1) Dislike the "feel" of the plastic on top of the keyboard;

2) A plastic sheath seems to force the two layers of the Fuze apart. That should vary with the type of plastic used: if I hold the Fuze up to a bright background it APPEARS that the gap between the halves should be adequate for a precisely THIN sheet... Overall fit of the Lower part of the case might have an impact here as well, but that's hard to gauge without buying Every Case on the market...:eek:

3) Was concerned that the plastic would not WEAR well, given sufficient usage. Yellowing, becoming ratty at the edges, & stretching all seem likely.

Case selection is like PIM choice: Personal Preferences play a major role in product selection, and there are multiple Solutions that are equally viable according to the preference of the end user.

Slip case, or Attached case?

Belt Clip, or Not? (Detachable, or Not? Rotating or Fixed?...)

Leather, Metal, Silicone, Hard Rubber, Or ??

Removable Top Cover (Kursell) or Permanently Attached?

Holders for data cards, styli, Other Things?

Have LOVED the RhinoSkin that has served as the Daily Carry Case for my Axim. But it is an Industrial looking piece of hardware - rather clunky & now somewhat beat up in appearance. So also have a nice (Belkin) Leather case that I use for "need a suit jacket" events.

Frankly - along similar lines - can imagine times where I might forego the extra protection of the Capdase and simply carry the Fuze in the Innocase, as it certainly presents less bulk when in the Seidio...

Options are Nice, but trying TOO many gets expensive!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] dinsey:
Looking to also purchase the seidio innocase, but before I do can ppl confirm if it gives problems on pushing on the screen. Have had such cases that seem okay for a few weeks, but then the screen becomes unresponsive due to the case pushing on the touch portion of the screen.

Thanks

This broke my heart... and I work for T-Mobile. Why on earth would HTC/SE make a phone that practically every company in the world can use with 3G, but not T-Mobile!? Frustrated.
[XPERIA X1 General] jackleung:
Then why don't you blame T-mobile for building their 3G network on 2100mzh while there others are using 850/900/1900 for YEARS?
[XPERIA X1 General] gregnm369:
AT&T is 2100mhz... T-Mobile USA is 1700mhz
[XPERIA X1 General] jvs60:
Uh...ATT is 850/1900, FYI. Tmobile is 1700/2100 both, not either or.
[XPERIA X1 General] gregnm369:
That's strange. A G1 is unlockable to ATT, but only supports UMTS 1700/2100. The G1's in our store access 3G just fine. My X1i won't access anything but EDGE (not 3G). Since the G1 supports 1700 and X1i does not, this is the logical deduction that the X1i doesn't support the same standard that the G1 does which is T-Mobile USA 3G
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
hmmm... let me state it upside down:

"Why on earth would T-MOBILE chose a band NOT USED BY ANY OTHER COMPANY IN THE WORLD ??"

Sounds better this way

Or... you can say it like this:

"Why on earth would HTC/SE or ANY other phone maker include in all their phones a band that is ONLY USED by T-MOBILE ??"

This one is even worst :D

PS: It's true, T-Mobile is the ONLY operator using the 1700+2100 martian band :D don't blame phone makers

And beware: it is NOT "1700 & 2100" but "1700 PLUS 2100" (one band for uplink and the other band for downlink)

SUCH A FREAK !! :eek:

:p
[XPERIA X1 General] jackleung:
Are you kidding me that you are working for a carrier and you don't even know what bands your company (or your competitor) is using? I am starting to understand why you would blame the phone manufacture now ....
[XPERIA X1 General] gregnm369:
Thank you for clarifying. I learned something from that.

This is a java based voice navigation gps app, and is available in java, but not currently for the G1. Short of asking the company to produce a G1 version, does anyone know how to code this for a G1?
[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
unless you have the source code at hand it aint gonna happen.

you've already suggested the only way to get it ported :)
[G1 Apps and Games] masr1979:
If you bother to look at the bottom of the official page http://www.amazegps.com/welcome.php you'll notice "Coming Soon: Android" so you don't need to port it yourself.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
and most importantly they have support for Australia! hehe
[G1 Apps and Games] f4phantomii:
Any idea what the pricing plan for amAzeGPS is? Is it a one-time fee? Monthly subscription?

Ah...nevermind....says free. Looks like it is ad supported.

Some of the video is nice though.

not my intention to make anyone feel stupid, sorry if it sounded like that.
[G1 Apps and Games] twieder:
The developer states in the Android forum on that site that he is NOT currently working on an Android product, and intended to remove the 'Coming Soon' from the front page.

Sorry.

don't be too disappointed. i gave the amaze software a go here recently and it was less than accurate. i gave it a simple route in a major city (houston) involving only 3 necessary roads all on major corridors and it couldn't foot the bill. anyone else have similar problems?

I currently have a 8 gb micro sd card (class 2) and I was wondering whether I would really see a difference in the speed of my phone access programs installed to the micro sd card if I upgraded to a 8 gb (class 6) microsd card?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] fhsieh:
Inside the phone, not much of a difference, since the limiting factor is the phone and not the card. But when you connect the microSD card to your computer (through the USB cable or using a reader), class 6 will allow you to transfer files to/from the card much faster.

I made this up with photoshop, but all of the files are packed and ready to go... this is just to show everyone my work.... my first attempt at installing the theme was unsuccessful, so i cant post an update as of yet (UPDATE coming real soon!!) Hope this is something that is likeable for any who was looking for red.

1:05AM 02-11-09

I got the theme past tmobile g1 screen, i attached the new screenshot to show a sample icon as well as the menu tab and clock for version 1. Continuing with the rest of the icons and files. Release is looking closer, well sooner

3:00AM 02-11-09

Icons loaded, but need resizing AGAIN!!! damnit... made icon color brighter add a gloss to all icons and made the clock more transparent

12:11PM 02-12-09

I created a mockup of what my version 2 of the red theme will look like, screenshot on page 2... if you check closely i resized the "Alarm Clock" image, this is as large as i can get the icons without exposing the square dimension limit, which would cut off the embroidery design around the icons... untill i find a new solution i can post the small icons and the slightly larger icons in 2 updates... depending on feedback

3:10PM 02-13-09

After many trials of finding a legitimate icon size, i finally found something that keeps the design around the button visible.. uintill i can figure out what looks better, but Version 2 will be coming SOON.. then more updates within the system icons and clocks etc... download and rename to update.zip, turn off phone, hold HOME + POWER and then Alt + S. Should have a red boot screen!! HAS BEEN TESTED BY ME

3:28PM 02-20-09

Updated this theme to be compatible with JFv1.42, if you wish to update your theme, just recheck the download links

What I did:

Took the wallpaper from teknotiq's theme and added more red in it...

Changed every stock icon on RC33, as far as Alarm Clock - Youtube..

Added my custom menu tab, sorry thats not meant to be arrow... it wont switch and point down

Changed the status bar to have more red and black

What I could have done:

-light red icons

- clear center icons (red outlining)

- black outter, inner red glow icons

- different wallpaper (UPDATED)

***credit to dryicons.com for the icons, via deviantart.com

Updates:

-status icons, unlock screen, possibly some .9pngs, and more inner functional icons changed to red

RC33 JF v1.42 compatible

New Screenshots - UPDATED 02-13-09 - VERSION 1

Version 1 RC33 JFV1.42 compatible, tested, works

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
im shooting for this week, for at least the initial drop, then more tweaks over the weekend... if i don't feel lazy ill try to drop numerous versions with of this theme with different clocks....

then later on i might switch up the icons, same look, but maybe the middle is cut out and clear, or the red would be a lighter red, or idk

I'll be interested to hear people's thoughts on this case when they get it. I've pre-ordered it from the UK site, it's not available until the 25th here.
[Touch HD Accessories] PGMMA:
I get it on Friday and will post a short review
[Touch HD Accessories] makaveli2g:
I dont think it is that great. I bought one off ebay (the most common black silicone case that shows up in the auctions) and its very well moulded.

That official one seems to have the back cut out to expose the entire metal back where the camera is. This is probably the next most vunerable part that gets scratched since you put the phone down on its back all the time.

The one off ebay actually covers the entire phone and fits tight too while not adding to the overall thickness of the phone. I use this in addition to my invisible shield for that added protection. :)
[Touch HD Accessories] ekerbuddyeker:
i reckon its open because of the speaker

its about time HTC got some decent cases out, in colours.
[Touch HD Accessories] PGMMA:
Just received the cover/ short review as promised

1. All cutouts line up perfectly - mic, USB, stylus and camera.

2. Power button and volume rocker work very well.

3. Cutout for the whole metal area around the camera looks attractive. The material is slightly thicker than the metal so if the phone is set down, the metal does not contact the surface.

4. The general fit is very good with the case just slightly overlapping the touch surface.

5. The material feels similar to the HD back and not like the other silicon cases I've bought.

I now have 3 silicon cases - the Ebay grey transparent and widely available black and this is by far my favorite.
[Touch HD Accessories] sk282:
Hi PGMMA,

Thanks for the review. When you zoom in to the picture at expansys site, it gives you a view from the bottom with a tiny hole for the mic. I was wondering if there is something similar on the top for the led light which makes it visible...
[Touch HD Accessories] vincentvega:
Nope, no extra hole for the led.
[Touch HD Accessories] saayinla:
Thanks for the feed back on this, would like to give this a try, and at the same time am really enjoying the transparent grey one.
[Touch HD Accessories] PGMMA:
No hole but the silicon over the light is thinner than the rest of the button area so it might be easy to make a hole. I just can't figure out how to make a perfectly round hole. Black and Decker makes drill bits with something they call Bullet tips that might make a nice hole but I'm not sure if they come small enough. If I find a solution, I'll post here.

By the way, the case is slightly different from the picture - the edge around the screen does not have such a tall ridge and the microphone hole is bigger.
[Touch HD Accessories] sk282:
Thanks again PGMMA for the reply and thanks to you also vincentvega.

Good luck with the hole thing and don't blame me if anything goes wrong :D

If you look closely you'll see they are not the same.

http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=03002
[Touch HD Accessories] Marcdu81:
Right,the difference is in the protection of the camera that is better protected with Brando ...
[Touch HD Accessories] jdlorinser:
Thanks, Great pictures! Can we get one from the side?
[Touch HD Accessories] Plonker:
Thanks for the pictures and comments. I have to admit I was a little sceptical over paying so much for a silicon case compared to the (ebay) alternatives, but your comments are encouraging.

Here you go!
[Touch HD Accessories] jdlorinser:
Thanks alot :)
[Touch HD Accessories] keithrl79:
It was mentioned that this rubber is similar to the rubber on the back of the battery cover... I assume that means its a little smoother.

So, that in mind... do you think it would fit into any leather belt holsters?

Thanks
[Touch HD Accessories] PGMMA:
I ordered a leather punch to make a small hole over the LED. I experimented with a "bullett" drill bit on an old silicon case and the hole is not perfectly round. I'll post a picture of the result when I get the punch.
[Touch HD Accessories] PGMMA:
The phone is a little bigger than 1/8" in all dimensions with the case on. That is probably enough to make it not fit most cases designed for the Touch HD. I'm sure there are phones out there with similar dimensions than the silicon encased HD. Add the additional dimensions to the Touch HD and then look at a site such as www.phonearena.com (which gives detailed dimensions of all available phones) and find a case for one that matches. The silicon case is still non-slip so if the case is too tight, it might be hard to insert and remove the phone. Good luck.
[Touch HD Accessories] keithrl79:
Thanks for the reply and info.

Yea, I figured I would have to find a case/holster that is a little larger - to account for the size with the silicone cover on it.

But as far as the actual silicone cover (the official HTC one)... is it pretty smooth? You mentioned its like the battery cover back material... how close is it to that, as compared to the very popular one available on ebay? I have the ebay one, and agree it might be a bit too sticky to get out of a case.

Thanks again for your input.

-Keith
[Touch HD Accessories] PGMMA:
OK, I tried several leather cases at one of the mall kiosks and I would say the silicon is still too sticky for most of them. I did find one that had a slick (polyester?) liner that worked fairly well but it wasn't an attractive case.
[Touch HD Accessories] PGMMA:
Punched hole for LED

I finally got the leather punch tool and used it to make a hole in the HTC silicon case over the on/off button LED. It turned out perfect!

The silicon over the LED portion of the button is thinner - in fact it's so thin that you can just barely see the charge LED through the silicon. This allowed me to mark exactly where to punch the hole. Please see the attached photo for the result.
[Touch HD Accessories] sk282:
Great job PGMMA! Now sell that to me and get yourself a new one and open another hole :D

Lol,silicon is used for all the cases , so all the brand use the same thing to do theirs cases . I've a manual job and all my brando cases for my different pda ( Touch HD is my 10 th ) are remained impeccable ... We don't know too what is the HTC is manufactured ( perhaps it's a brando case especially manufactured for HTC with an other design ! )
[Touch HD Accessories] nw86281:
any idea how much of a dust magnet these things are?

Persuaded my dad to get a HD(upgraded from an nokia N70 so bit of a change).

What he's not keen on is the size of the phone. He's getting used to it but said a leather case is too bulky in jean pocket(doesn't want to clip it to belt) and silicone case that came with phone is a dust magnet.

Is the new HTC silicone case any better?

[Touch HD Accessories] Pandemoniumone:
This was my first case for my Touch HD. The thing that bothered me the most was how sticky it was. It isn't easy to get out of your jean pocket as it pulls the liner of your pocket out with your phone...very irritating.

Is the new HTC case sticky as well? It was stated that it's smooth like the back of the device, this would be nice.
