Those are crazy expensive. If you're going to get a silicon case, I suggest you just pick one up on ebay for a buck with $.84 shipping here. Looks exactly the same as the two that you posted originally at a fraction of the price. I own two and am extremely satisfied with them. Only downside is the shipping takes a while since it comes from China.

I've learned to be careful with cell phone accessories. Dealers and random stores online will often buy Chinese stuff in bulk and pass it off to people at a considerable profit. Might as well cut out the middleman and get it delivered directly.

These ones MIGHT interfere with your typing though. It's not extreme, but the edges are raised just a tiny bit (probably to protect from corner and screen impact).

This is still the best one I have found:

Can't tell you how lovely it looks and feels, wish I had another camera so I could take some snaps but you can see what it looks like pretty well from the link.

I've also got it in white, from the same seller, I may pick up a black one as well :)

Just got my Epik cases today. Ordered them 10 days ago off Ebay. Decent shipping time. I love the case. It is the perfect combination of fit, protection and looks. It adds a little thickness to the phone but I actually like it better. The poster above has pics and they are much better than I could take. If you don't mid waiting, get the Epik case.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] awtryau89:
One more thing to add, the cuts on my cases are perfect. There are now 2 holes in the bottom to catch the HTC version or the myTouch. The camera is also perfectly centered. I got black and orange.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Azza_1:
Ordered a clear and blue Epik case for my Magic. :)

Hopefully they won't take long to get to me. Going to use the screen protectors that come with them unless they are rubbish or some others stand out that are a must need.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] awtryau89:
I am really loving my Epik case. I may order some more colors. I thought the orange would be good but not really liking it. The smoke is fantastic though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] crxtasi:
I'm actually using the screen protector that came with the package and surprised that its actually smooth and cut right.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] gagan512:
i got that one off ebay, for $1.84. It adds a lot of thickness to your phone, which i didn't like. covered the mic as the hole was on the wrong side. it was however, very flexible and i really liked the finish, it was smooth yet non-slippery.

i gave up and bought the $15 t-mobile official silicon skin (with the lanyard) and while its definitely thinner, i dont like the feel - the phone slips out of my hands.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] crxtasi:
I saw that too when I went to a retail store, i guess thats why they give that long ass lanyard just in case it falls from your hand lol :D is it snug like the epic? mind shooting us a couple of pics? thanks!

hi everyone, i'm new to the forum

note to everyone:

do not order the plastic rubberized case,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250474701979

maybe it's a different builder but mine bleeded some color onto the magic (it was a blue one) and its charger wire

fortunately now it's gone after a few days:rolleyes:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] briggs81:
I just got my boxwave diamond case. http://www.boxwave.com/products/diamondcrystalslip/htc-magic-diamond-crystal-slip-case_3484.htm

not bad at all. Pleased with the edges along the sides, they are not too high up so don't affect my fingers when typing.

I thought it was a solid color, but it's not, it's still somewhat transparent, but had some color to it, mine is the gray one. Just one slight defect in it near the top where the ear piece is. not really a defect, just a slight warp in it so it does not fit 100% perfect but probably 99% :P. does not affect it's grip on the phone. Feels good in the hand and provides more protection then I thought it would.

On another note, I was looking for a second case that i would use when travelling. I was going to get the typical pocket book style leather case with a clip, but I really wanted something with a bit more protection, and even some protection against the elements. it was pretty hard to find something. Then one day i was at walmart looking for screen protectors and came upon a camera case.

http://www.caselogic.com/ultra_compact_camera_case/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=133831

This this thing is exactly what I need. It's a little bigger then necessasary, but it has a belt loop and also a good strong clip if you want to use that instead.

it covers the phone completely,and is some sort of nylon I guess, so protects it from the basic elements.

The zipper only goes from the top to the side, so it's really easy to unzip from the side and pull the phone out.

And lastly, the front of it has another zipped with a compartment for storage, whcih is perfect for my travel case, as I can store my extra battery, headphones, and a small screen cleaning rag!

Pretty awesome for $10

(picture shown is not exact model. picture is missing clip and front storage pocket)

I gotta say, I love the Epik cases that I bought on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/1-SOFT-Crystal-G...ries?hash=item3ef65402c9&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

For something like $6 or $7 per piece after conversion and shipping, etc, it's a helluva good buy. The case fits perfectly and the video they show of the guy putting the case on is exactly my experience with it. Very easy to slip the phone in, very snug, and it's thin too. It even provides enough padding to the Magic that it can protect the unit (in my experience) from a fall of about 3 ft onto a ceramic tile floor - no damage to the unit...just some additional pounding in my heart...:eek:

A definite good buy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] thinkdifferent:
How obtrusive is that pattern?

I'm thinking of getting one. Is the pattern etched on the inside or outside of the cover?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] 13bjunkie:
inside the cover. the outside is smooth gel. great cover
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] thinkdifferent:
At 5$ a cover, I'll bite.

I just bought this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/T-mobile-HTC-G2...ries?hash=item2ea72e03ec&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

I got the smoke color, I'll let you know how it is when I get it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] hachigoro:
I have received the one everyone talks about: http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270425303620&_trksid=p2759.l1259

It fits perfectly. There are no problems with the camera hole, or the mic hole. It has two holes, on both sides, so it is compatible with every Magic model.

I would prefer that it hadn't that square pattern like an old sweater :p (it could just be translucent) but it isn't that important.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] stu-k:
I orded one of these 3 weeks ago and still waiting :mad:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Armadillo123:
So, which cover is the best in terms of protecting the Magic?

I've got one of these Tough skin covers for my iPod which is made of thick rubber. It'll make the iPod into a tank :D

Might be a bit thick for a phone but I'd love something similar. Paper thin plastic cover is really worthless compared to something like the Tough skin.

http://www.speckproducts.com/products/toughskin/ipod-nano-3rd-gen/103
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] stu-k:
That case is massive! Silicone is best bet for protection but dirt sticks to them and the buttons are hard to get to....but if your into throwing your phone around
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Armadillo123:
Well, I don't know about massive but of course it's bigger than a thin plastic shell case which is only really there for looks. I mean, you don't just post a Ming vase in an envolope and hope it gets through the post in one piece - you wrap it in bubble wrap or similar.

I don't think people "throw their phones around", but if you accidently drop it, I'd personally like a case which might actually safe the phone and for that the Tough skin is superb.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] stu-k:
The thin ones seem to do the job, computerdan was kind enough to drop his phone and as he said no damage. If the case is to big it becomes near on impossible to put the phone in your pocket.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] teqvexed:
I purchased a 3 pack from this ebay seller, and i'll say that these plastic "resin" type cases are very nice. It took 3 wks to arrive, I ordered black, blue, and clear/white. the crosshatch patterns are very nice, and they seem to be very well made. i will say that the clear/white is not very white, i would suggest getting a different color. the black one looks very nice on my white mt3g. The material is fairly flexible, and not too grippy (which is a good thing). it came with a screen protector too. the volume buttons are kind of difficult to use, though not that much of a problem. the screen and keys are easy to access, and it is pretty easy to take the phone in and out of the case (to do battery pulls, swap sd cards etc).

tl;dr - ordered from this seller, very good product, avoid clear/white, long shipping time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Skipinder:
Have you received it yet? I'm curious as to how good that case is
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] __McB__:
I know this isn't a silicone cover but I got this one. I don't like any additional bulk and want something smooth so it will slip in and out of my pocket easily. I've had things similar to this on ipods and love it. I haven't received it yet but I'll let you know how I like it when I do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] :
I'd gotten one of those for my Behold II, and couldn't use the film for the back because it was so poorly cut. I prefer www.bestskinsever.com, been using them for a few years and love them! Also cheaper than Zagg or BodyGuardz.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Anartic:
Would anybody say the screen protector that comes with the Epik case (http://cgi.ebay.ca/1-SOFT-Crystal-Gel-Case-Skin-HTC-Magic-Google-Ion-G2_W0QQitemZ270420673225QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item3ef65402c9&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) be as good, or better than the screen protector that comes with the MT3G? Also, at the volume control spot, is there someway on the case that indicates that its there?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] tonyriceroni:

I only messed up on the back part i slid the back a lot more to the right than the left lol but its all good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] KrazyBlonde:
Has anyone had an issue with these stretching? I bought one when I first got my phone, it was one from the actual tmobile store, and not even a month later, it was stretched out and loose, served no purpose, so I thought maybe mine was defective, because I have had them in the past for blackberries and such and never had an issue, but then the brand new one I exchanged it for, a few months later had the same issue... anyone else have this problem with tmobile bought gel skins? and no I didnt constantly take it on and off either, I dont think I hardly ever removed it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Anartic:
I haven't had a problem with the case stretching, yet. The only problem I'm having is that the white case has gotten kind of dirty, so the case is kind of yellowish, and the spot where the volume rocker doesn't have a sort of bump to distinguish the button. The only thing I regret about this case is the color.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] dagbro:
just bought this.

I'll post a review when i get it :)

not sure if i like the circles though.. well didn't set me back too much ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] KAwAtA:
I bought that one and to be honest, I didn't like it. The cuts were nice and everything but I hated how it doesn't cover the front of your phone that well. Like the top and bottom stick out so if I were to drop it face first, it'd take some damage
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] dagbro:
Got the cover today and i am loving it!

It's certainly not the prettiest(the "smoke" color should have been blacker, and the ash-tray-gray circle print on the back.. sheesh), but i love the feel of it. It really makes the phone sit better in your hand, and adds some protection without interfering on the front.

Finally i can lay my phone down on just about anything without thinking about the shiny but not-too-scratch-resistant gloss black battery cover ;) I honestly think the scratches on my 1-day old black housing is from me laying it down on a table with breadcrumbs on it... breadcrumbs!

The big surprise to me was the included lcd protector. Stiff plastic sheet(so not just a vinyl sticker like those other cheapolas) but thin enough to flex a bit to make it easy to install(first time; 100% straight, no bubbles), completely smooth surface, really smudge-proof and last but certainly not least, it's frickin' invisible! can't see it if you don't know it's there.

(well, i'm sure it scratches real easily, don't want to make all of you who bought $30 protectors feel bad :p )

All this for less than $5 shipped.. God I love eBay :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] hol17:
Not only that but the case is NOT snug around the phone. My phone actually takes more dust and damage because it traps dust and dirt inside the case and scratches the crap out of it. The case also does bend out of shape (ie, it will be snug at the beginning but will become more loose as you clean the case 3x a day).

I'm actually looking to but a plastic shell that covers the front and back. If I get one I will review it here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] diffusal:
Hi guys, been reading your interesting discussion, i recently purchased a case myself but its not silicone its actually plastic but feels really nice. I will take pictures for you guys when i find some time. The holes are perfect, though please aware that the mic hole might be correct for you. The matte black finish although looks bad on the white magic, it looks perfect on my black magic. The only slight drawback from this case when compared your silicone cases is probably the bumps you get from clipping the 2 pieces of the case together. Other than that a perfect case, perfect fit (snug) and nice and smooth but still grippy.

So @ hol17 if you are looking for a plastic case this might be good?

Body for Mytouch 3G

Hi there,

I own mytouch 3G, its body gotten damaged. Can anyone tell me from where i can a get a body (not casing or covers) from. Battery covers available for it but are there any front covers (hard body)?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Valtox:
Hi.

I'm happy to help you.

This is the site where I bought the same thing you are looking for (many colors available).

Please be careful: to install completely this new housing I posted, many people reported they had to mess with the phone's gps and signal antennas, that are on the back on top of the battery housing. The result can be that the GPS or the signal antenna don't work anymore.

I didn't use my replacemnt housing because of this risk.

If you can replace what you need without touching those things, you're fine, else search for further information here on on Google.

The antennas are placed underneath those two red spots on the left, covered by some sort of white paper sticker.

[Touch GSM General] COM:
Hi Guys,

A weird problem I encountered with my recent play with acbPowerMeter.

In normal state my Elf consumes about 140 mA +\-20 (Due to various CPU load).

However, after turning WiFi ON this value jumps to 400mA, well nothing you can do about. So, I understand that after turning WiFi OFF, the battery drain should come down to normal value. This is not a case at all. Battery discharge stays on around 400mA.

Only swithcing Off/ON Flight mode resets WiFi module. A quite starange behaviour !

My question is anyone came across this problem and knows the solution apart of switching Radio module On/Off every time after using WiFi to save battery charge?

Thanks.

[G1 Android Development] dumfuq:
I wrote this batch file to merge a theme and a rom into a signed update.zip in order to not have to flash twice or mix them by hand every time I update my phone.

Main assumptions in batch file:

1)Autosigning apk/zip files has already been set up on your computer ('java testsign something.zip' works in command console).

2)7-zip is installed on your computer and is also in your %PATH% ('7z.exe' works in command console).

How to do:

1)Rename mymerge.txt to mymerge.bat and place on Desktop.

2)Select the two zipfiles you want to merge and drag and drop onto mymerge.bat.

3)When asked which file is the primary zip, choose the main update ROM.

4)Choose whether to copy framework or framework and apps.

5)A signed file named “update.zip” will be created on your desktop

Warning:

This is a simple script. There is absolutely no error correction in this batch file. Use at your own risk.
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
Good job. Definitely useful.
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Only problem with this is.... what if some applications were updated in the new rom? Like when Maps, Camera, Launcher, etc. get an update? You are basically just throwing them out by flashing the older "themed" versions. Not saying this happens a lot, but when it does... you get people complaining XXX app is not the right one, and why do I have two gallery apps, and things of that nature.
[G1 Android Development] dumfuq:
Yep. agreed. That is why i made an option to only copy the framework. I put the option for apps because i use a few pulled from different themes. That way I don't have to push them back on after flashing. My personal script puts the man pages in the rom as well.
