Do you know what Samuel Jackson has on his wallet in Pulp Fiction ? I was toying with the idea of having that embossed on the case, but then I noticed they will only do 10 letters. Shame. :(
[HD2 Accessories] Diamond Dave:
I thought that you couldn't use a stylus on the HD2 - or is there a special type that you can get for the capacitive screen ?
[HD2 Accessories] adiemask:
When did you order this?

I am also in the UK and had notification of shipping on the 2nd December, no sign as yet (I was hoping to receive b4 xmas)
[HD2 Accessories] Mikulec:
Does anyone know some fullbody protection like invisibleshield? I saw the photos of the invisibleshield and was disapointed by the lack of protection on the corners. Does anyone know some other company that ofers this kind of protection?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Accessories] Johnston411:
Ordered mine on the 7th December and it was shipped on the 15th December
[HD2 Accessories] Beards:
Just do a google search on capacitive stylus.

Most are made for the iPhone but there are quite a few 'universal' types already out and HTC have their own patent on one due to hit the streets sometime in early 2010.

As to their use and effectiveness.

I have a cheap universal which for scrolling is fine but not as good as a finger.... but for drawing it is absolutely useless. :)
[HD2 Accessories] Archer:
I second that. It's unfortunate that they need so much acreage and pressure to work. I do miss my HD stylus, but 99% of apps don't need it.

Saying that, if there was a stylus with a pointed end that worked with a capacitve screen I'd be all over it!
[HD2 Accessories] Beards:
As to my cases ~ Well I'm still waiting for Noveve to release my custom case.

When it arrives I'll post some pics.

In the meantime I realized on my recent flight to Canada that I needed some protection for the Phone.

Didn't have time to shop around in Toronto so I placed an order online yesterday for the HTC HD2 Leather Pouch PO S511 from Mobile Fun.

Imagine my surprise when it turned up less than 24hrs later.

My initial findings are that it is a great case.

1.Small footprint.

2.Nice & Light.

3.Feels very strong (the screen & back cover have metal stitched inside the leather).

4. Everything can be accessed whilst the case is closed.

5. The HD2 is retained by solid leather groves situated either side of the case running from the bottom of the case to half-way up.

This means the entire screen is easy to touch (some cases have leather that protrudes near the edge of the screen making it hard to use the sides of the screen).

6. The clasp is unique in that it is solid but does not have any metal/press-stud. It simply bends onto the HD2 holding it very firmly in place.

Overall, very impressed with this great priced case. :)
[HD2 Accessories] Beards:
Agree on both points here John.

The only time I find a use is during typing but then only when my hands are cold and I can't feel the screen by finger touch.

Your good mentioning on a pointed Capacitive stylus..... If you find one John please do let us know.

If one ever materialized I would pounce on it so fast.........

my noreve just arrived by UPS . standard black version , best so far.
[HD2 Accessories] Peteret:
You're not alone - ordered mine on the 2nd and no delivery yet. Still waiting on a delivery from the U.S also, so it seems international deliveries are rather late getting here.
[HD2 Accessories] Beards:
Hi Gavin,

Guess what...... same here.

The chocolate brown van stopped off at around 1PM today with mine.

I chose the Ambition Ebony. Very impressed with the quality of the case.

I'll get some photo,s up after Christmas...... unless someone beats me to it. :)

Just received my resin case from Netimes. Looks very good just on the opposite side of the volume buttons it is not as tight and curves little . otherwise the rest 3 sides are nice and tight..
[HD2 Accessories] Bouloama:
I'm still awaiting for my Resin soft jelly case and the silicone case.. i ordered them both on 12 DEC.

My package finaly left HongKong at 20 DEC.. due Christmas peaks and hopefully next week i'm able to snap some shots ;)

I've ordered the black ones!
[HD2 Accessories] fatalus:
Here is a photo of what I mean about the non full-tightness of the resin case

See bottom side of the photo
[HD2 Accessories] Bouloama:
Wow.. thats NOT tight mate.. personally I would email the shop and ask for a new one..

The HD flopts right out the case because of the untight fit..

Hopefully my case is not that lose :S
[HD2 Accessories] fatalus:
I have just emailed them, waiting for their answer.
[HD2 Accessories] wacky.banana:
Gav,

Any chance of some pictures please and your views? I am looking hard at this one based on several recommendations; however you are the only HD2 user I know who has one!

Really interested in the type pf fastening it uses to secure the case (snap or magnetic) and just how well it protects the phone. Also any comments on how easy it is (or not) to use the phone in the case would be very much appreciated.

When/if you stick it on your belt is it secure or likely to pop off?

Cheers

LOVEBELL

could you post your Manilla home wallpaper?
[HD2 Accessories] tdmsdeano:
what about getting one and 'butchering' it to a more compact size length & tip? Is there any reason why it's got such as big tip and apart from giving a better grip (which I don't need) why is it a few inches in length?

another thought was a thimble (not normal size) style finger end (non-capacitive) with a hole in the end letting just part of your finger through instead of your full finger tip

here's a quick hack as you can see by the one in the middle

is this it? if it is then it's huge and I'd rather use my finger
[HD2 Accessories] gavinfabl:
its xmas so technology banned but its a button clasp, easy to use with phone in, adds protection for camera, well designed, with case shut you can access headphone and volume. the usb slot is covered but all you have to do is unclip leather clasp.
[HD2 Accessories] gavinfabl:

[HD2 Accessories] Xeon:
Thanks for the photos.

Does it feel cheap? I mean is it worth the 40Euros ? ( i need like 15 additional Euros for ship. that is 55). Does it feel bulky in hand? thanks :)
[HD2 Accessories] wacky.banana:
Gav,

Merry christmas mate. Thanks for the update on the case. Hope you missus didn't give you a slapping hopping onto xda on xmas day. :)

The key for me is you saying it has a clasp fastening rather than one of these naff magnetic things.That is good news indeed, just the info I was looking for.

I'm just off to order one now. In the meantime I have got one of those flap things as a temp measure until the Noreve comes along.

Cheers bud.

WB

Cheers again.
[HD2 Accessories] gavinfabl:
its the best case i have for the hd2. its not bulky and doesnt feel cheap.
[HD2 Accessories] gavinfabl:
my pleasure. photos taken with hd2 and uploaded on hd2 :) taking my laptop out was not an option :)
[HD2 Accessories] Trig0r:
:lol: classic, thats not the stylus, thats the HD2 from the side...:D
[HD2 Accessories] cheetah2k:
I've just ordered 2 of these in black. This is what I was after (similar to my iphone rubberised hard slim case.

Finaly someone released them! :D
[HD2 Accessories] Bouloama:
Hmmz i don't like the strange vertical cutouts.. those are not even needed to fit the HD2?

It looks like that the netimes silicone is better finished off.
[HD2 Accessories] digimaz:
I believe the vertical cutouts are so as to allow the case to expand when pushing the phone in so as to prevent too much pressure from being put on the phone. Anyway, I've used these kind of cases before. Simple and light, but the colour tends to wear off after a while. Maybe cause i bought cheapo ones.
[HD2 Accessories] fatalus:
Me neither, plus they ofthen no protection on the top and bottom side :(

HTC POS511 is Great!!!

Just purchased HTC PO S511 for SGD 35. It's really great. Now I feel confortable in handling my HD2.

Attaching pictures for you guys :)
[HD2 Accessories] Beards:
Hi Wacky,

As you can see I also received the Noreve case on the same day as Gavin only mine was an Ambition Ebony design.

As Gavin reports it is a clasp design and very strong it is too.

At first I was a little concerned that pressing the clasp may apply too much pressure on the screen but this was false.

It certainly holds the phone nice and tight.

Extremely recommended.

Gavin ~ Thanks for providing the pics. Saved me doing it for now.
[HD2 Accessories] Sian:
Yes! I'm waiting for something like this too. Think I will get one too. I wonder whether I can still slot it into the case that come with HD2.. :p

Asian with big jugs??? I must be dreaming! :D
[HD2 Accessories] wacky.banana:
Beards,

Thanks also for the recommendation. Have put my order in but the supplier is out of stock for the next fortnight! :(

In the meantime I am using one of these...http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flip-case-htc-hd2-p22680.htm for going out and one of these in black....http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flexishield-skin-for-the-htc-hd2-clear-p22682.htm when I am in a situation where I need to use the phone extensively out of the case. Makes me feel more secure in case the bare phone drops out of my sweaty hand. :eek:

Incidentally, like many on here, I have invested in a number of cases while trying to find the right one which now looks like the Noreve. Without a doubt the worst case bought, which definitely infringes the Trade Descriptions act, is the one from SuperETrader (can't find the link right now) which has a 2 belt loops on one side and a foldover design with a hidden magnet on the other.

The case is advertised as one for the HD2 but guess what guys..........the case DOES NOT FIT the DEVICE! :mad: With the HD2 in the case you simply cannot close the case properly.

OK it only cost £5 so returning it is not an option as I would probably lose half of that in postage alone. However I will be having a word with them on Monday about them taking liberties with their product descriptions. If they get arsey about it then I will definitely report them to Trading Standards (yes I know I should just get on with my life but things like this really, really irritate the hell out of me) :mad: :)

Hi Wacky,

Re the case from Mobile Fun, I nearly bought that one myself but instead chose this one http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-leather-pouch-po-s511-p22218.htm

Slightly dearer but a good case nonetheless.

Re SuperETrader, I've stopped trading with them ~ Had a bad experience some time back.

Incidentally, that's where Clove get their Desktop Cradle Charger from so be careful.

Look forward to reading your comments on the Noreve case.

I have ordered a case from these guys for my Omnia some months ago and I have to say it's great quality, fast delivery and good service!

I am just worried that putting big HD2 into even bigger case will make it just too big :) Gonna try with InvisibleShield as they make one for HD2(and I confirm: great protection, but very hard to install).

^good find, that is a very protective case. Here's what the link says:

Thin, Lightweight and strong.

With transparent plastic protection.

Removable 360 degrees belt clip included.

Anodized aircraft-grade aluminum prevents from scratches.

Neoprene inner lining for extra protection and shock absorber.

Easy access to all buttons and features.

High tensil strength aluminum.

Cutouts give easy access to all handheld features.
[HD2 Accessories] griff849:
Good protection but I like the feel of my Blackstone and with this case it woudl feel completely different. Also, will the edges of the case effect use, particularly as there is no stylus, we will need to get a finger right up to the edge for best effect.
[HD2 Accessories] jah:
Great find. The HD2 is great to use as there is no raised bezel so not sure how the PDAIR cases will restrict the use of the screen at the edges. I have ordered a leather one so will see in a few days.

these cases look good. I have ordered the HTC case which is similar to the one for the HD and allows easier access to the edge of the screen. Here is a picture: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=189819

Also looks functionally similar to the Peil Frama but a whole lot cheaper!

[HD2 Accessories] griff849:
All a bit bulky or fussy for my taste and as I want to be able to feel the phone 'naked' when I use it I am considering either a pouch (which I use for my blackstone) or one of these:

Custom Made

But without a closure - nice and simple!
[HD2 Accessories] Fatherboard:
I 2nd that. silicon cases are welcomed. I think we'll have to wait for couple of months until we start see'em in eBay.
[HD2 Accessories] wacky.banana:
@ Gav,

That looks just your style chap. Go for it; you know you want to! :)

@ Beards,

Yes I did see that case from MobileFun. Went for the one I have simply as a temporary measure until I could make up my mind what I really wanted. One can end up spending a lot on different cases if one is not careful, although I agree its small beer to protect a £500 device. :eek:

As soon as the Noreve is in I will let you have my comments. Strangely enough this case http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-orbit-flex-krusell-premium-leather-case-p22689.htm has also been recommended to me but not sure if anyone on here has bought and/or used one.

Cheers

[HD2 Accessories] Beards:
Ouch... Why did you have to show that Gavin, especially when my wife was looking over at that particular time I clicked on the link.

You should have seen the look on her face when she looked up at me.

Looks like I'll now have to start buying ladies clothing to match it. :D

I'm a sucker for cases Den.

I've seen that case before and thought about it.... I may just go ahead myself and order it. :)
[HD2 Accessories] wacky.banana:
Gav and Beards,

Can you both double check and confirm that there are no aspects of the design of the Noreve case that intefere with the sensor on the HD2 or any other aspects of its operation please? Its very hard to see on the pictures I have of the case whether the face of the HD2 is clear or obstructed by the case in any way (either that or I'm going blind :) ).

Just discovered while I was out this afternoon that this temporary case that I am using http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flip-case-htc-hd2-p22680.htm does exactly that, ie top strap across blocks off the sensor. This means as soon as a call comes in the screen goes off!

Bummer really as I took the time to buy the correct HTC screen protectors with the holes in the top for exactly this reason.

Await your responses.

Cheers

Beyzacases - not for HD2 :(

I was hoping Beyzacases would come out with an HD2 case, but nothing.

So I wrote them an email, asking for the equivalent of what they have for the iPhone, - the multi-flip case, but for HD2. The multi-flip is really the best case out there - have a look at their site.

I got a reply - very unfortunately they have no plans to produce an HD2 case currently. :(

I would have bought a multi-flip case for the HD2 immediately - beats everything out there, even the Piel Frama ones (the Piel Fram flip can't be removed, and it also opens towards the top, not towards the bottom - not practical when calling.)

Unfortunately Piel Frama also did not make a wallet case either.

I don't understand - I guess there's just not enough HD2 sold to justify the investment :((
[HD2 Accessories] gavinfabl:
the noreve case doesn't interfere with the HD2 .

krussel cases - might be better now but quality of some of my previous ones left me unimpressed .

Where did you buy that?

@jungleorb : Is it SGD 25 or USD 25? Where did you buy that one?
[HD2 Accessories] Beards:
Sorry Den, was out last night (sending you a P.M.)

Basically, like Gavin says, the Noreve case design ensures this problem does not occur as when opened the top rolls all the way out and half-way down the back of the HD2.

This ensures everything is nice and clear.

I also like the fact when you open the case the entire screen is free from any leather surround, which makes using the screen nice and easy.

Have to say I like this case a lot. :)

Where exactly did you find the pictures?

I do confess in having a strong interest in quality 'Bookstyle' cases.

Another of this genre to add to my collection would not go amiss.

Besides it's fetching finish, I rather like the fact it holds several credit cards. However I do have concerns for the leather at the sides which may interfere with the screen.

Yeah you'd of thought that the 27th Nov wouold be before the xmas rush, especially as I ordered from another guy on eBay (also in HK) and that arrived ok, as did the one from nettimes or whatever it was...
