Noreve Tradition Leather Case

Here is the small review for the Noreve Tradition Leather Case.

Its really simple and i can be short about it.

The test i did was for compass and google maps.

The compass did ask for me to clear from magnetict fields but was up

and running in 5 secs.

Pointed west, and when i turned, it turned with me so that works oke.

Google maps, wich for this case i reset it.

With no gps on 1300 meters close to where i was.

With gps on, i got a fix in believe it or not , a few seconds and it was close to 20 meters.

This was with the HD2 in the case, but that speaks for it self.

Result for me?

No problems for me,all is working perfect.

The case it self is not the old one.

The case i have, and it problaby will be for all Noreve Tradition Leather Case

has got a new relief for the hardware keys.

1 thing i can say, is that i don,t have a belt clip on it ( don,t wanna lose my HD2 ).

Maby if you put on a belt clip, metal or something, you can get interference. I don,t know ,because i simply don,t use a belt clip.

Thats it from me, hope,s this helps a little.

I read every single post in this thread and finnaly took the leap.

What I really wanted was a Vaja case (oooh so tasty!! but ooooh so pricey :eek:) ended up buying a Gel Case from ebay. It's purple and fits quite well. However there is a slight bowing on the sides. Not complaining too much seing as I bought it for £3.

If I get around buying a Vaja one, I will post pictures and will go on about how happy I am for a month, seeing as I will have most likely won a huge lottery jackpot at that point! :p

Thank you all for your brilliant reviews.
[HD2 Accessories] ozkaya:
I wonder why my noreve case messes up the compass. Have you watched the video I posted? I also have the new version which has cut out for the hardware keys on front and no clips or anything else.
[HD2 Accessories] xXJohnXx:
I have seen the video, and it sure is weird.

I dont have that problem.

It worked right from the start i did these test.

I dont use the compass, but i did want to know if i had the problem to.

Thats why i checked it ( and for anyone who wanted to know to ).

That leaves 1 question.

Why it happens with your case?

Now thats weird, or not?

Can you get a refund or a different 1?

Greetz.

[HD2 Accessories] fantasytozi:
There's some reviews about it, a nice case. I just ordered one yesterday, hope it can be with me tomorrow:)
[HD2 Accessories] Beards:
The Chrome case has been discussed quite a bit here starting off at Post 758 when member BT73 reported he had one.

After a bit of discussions on the case I then ordered one and made a comment at Post 781 outlining what my Daughter thought of the case.

Since returning back to the UK and seeing the case I have to agree it is a rather nice looking case from the back.

If I had any issues with it would be it requires a lot of cleaning as it suffers from finger marks badly and I'm not to found of the left & right edges which have a bit of a lip.... This lip can interfere with when you swipe your finger in a left/right action.

Other than that, from the back it does look nice. :)

HD2 T-Mobile is 1.5mm taller

Being that it is 1.5mm taller, will the cases discussed in this thread fit the U.S. T-Mobile HD2?

I am pretty sure the silicone and rubber case will manage fine, but what about the plastic/metal cases?

I already ordered the capdase alumor case for my T-Mobile HD2 and just read nick2k's post #842.

It would be great if someone can answer this question for sure, since the HD2 has been released in the U.S. yesterday alot of people are going to be ordering these cases, and most of them like me did not even know there is a size difference between the international version and the U.S version.

This brings me to the question that bothers me more than anything else, why the heck does the U.S. version of everything have to be different????????
[HD2 Accessories] copualt3:
x2. since you already bought the case, then maybe you can shine some light on to the Tmobile HTC HD2 case debacle.
[HD2 Accessories] nuron:
Maybe someone with a capdase can tell us if there is some leeway in theirs for a 1.5mm difference?

Here is my conversation with Vinko's Treasures through e-mail:

Hi, the T-Mobile USA version of the HD2 is 1.5mm taller than the European one, will this case still fit? Thanks.

V:Oh... we do not know there is a difference in height for the two versions of HTC HD2.

After receiving your email we had checked with both Capdase and other sources and they too confirm that there is only one size for all versions of the HTC HD2 including the ones offered by T-Mobile

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.

Check this link to see what I am talking about:

http://pocketnow.com/thought/t-mobile-hd2-vs-htc-hd2-comparison

Thanks.

V: Thank you for the information.

We have pass the information to Capdase for their investigations.

Thank you,

So maybe there will be enough time between now and the next shipment (~April 9th) to send some T-Mobile ones out? Or maybe in the near future for a new revision.
[HD2 Accessories] Bravoexo:
Well, as I look at it, the back metal part is only 1/3 of the way up the side... and the rubber seam wraps on top and around. I think 1.5mm is ok, since the bottom curls up anyway. (The bottom metal part is wider and taller around the hd2 by a bit, it's a good snug... but the rubber should be able to handle it).
[HD2 Accessories] aym007:
Capdase Alumor Case Will NOT Fit USA HD2

I just received an email from Vinko's Treasures confirming my order of the Capdase Alumor case. At the end of the email they had the following note:

"PS: we noticed your shipping address is in the US. Are you planing to use the said case with a US T-Mobile HD2? If so, we just found out that the US T-Mobile HD2 is 1.5mm taller than the International version of the HTC HD2. Therefore the said case will not fit. Please let us know if you like to cancel your order."

I am pretty sure that Capdase will release a US version of this case due to its popularity and thus I will use the stock rubber one that comes with the phone until that happens.
[HD2 Accessories] MirasHD2:
I bought one from them too for my US HD2. I just go it today and it fits. I will post pics in a bit!!!! Looks good! It doesn't fit perfect,but it will do for now.
[HD2 Accessories] trueballerz:
Got mine today as well *I have the US tmobile version*. It fits *had to force it in the case* but it works though :D Glad I didn't waste money because I was worried it wouldn't even go in the case.
[HD2 Accessories] MirasHD2:
Here you go. US HD2 with the Alumor Metal Case CApdase from Vinkos Treasures!
[HD2 Accessories] fantasytozi:
I'll definitely hunt for a black capdase one, will check on their website everyday. It's nearly end of March, hope I can have some luck. So curious about this case:D
[HD2 Accessories] nick2k:
wow. i JUST got my case today too. and like miras said, its a tab bit snug. it SORTA fits. after my application/installation, the camera is not perfect like miras'. and the big beef i have is with the mic hole being covered up by the silicone on mine.

i think i'll still be using the HTC branded gelcase that came the phone until there's a capdase alumor for the TMOUS HD2.

i think i'll be putting this alumor on eBay...unless someone here wants to buy it....
[HD2 Accessories] MirasHD2:
My husband was able to make the mic hole a little bigger and now it isn't covered up!

BodyGlove Case (USA TMo)

Knowing I might have to wait a while for a hard shell case from a variety of vendors for my USA HD2, I decided to give the clear BG case that was available from my TMo store and it is pretty nice! $20 was a little steep but it is a good fit and is VERY light. The kickstand is a nice idea but every time I lock it in to place I expect it to snap off. I do hope the kickstand will last because it works in portrait and landscape mode.

So for those of you in the USA and want some hard shell protection, give this one a try. At this point, it is better than the supplied gel case but I will admit that the Capdase would be sweet when it fits USA models!

Regards,

Gordo
[HD2 Accessories] kenkiller:
any pictures?
[HD2 Accessories] jetjockgordo:
Sure, give me a couple of hours and I will post some.
[HD2 Accessories] jetjockgordo:
Here are the pictures of the BodyGlove case that I bought from my TMo store in the USA. I already discarded the package it came in so sorry about that!

As I mentioned earlier, it is nice but I am a little worried the kickstand locking tab may not hold up to repeated use. In fact, the first time I used it, I thought it didn't lock but after looking closely with a jewelers loupe, I could see the tab and with teeth gritting force I can engage the lock.

Regards,

Gordo
[HD2 Accessories] kenkiller:
Wow....it looks pretty functional.

Wish there was a way to get this for the Euro HD2.... :D

Anyone saw it anywhere online?
[HD2 Accessories] SMS92:
Hey guys, sorry to derail the thread briefly but as this is the most popular thread for cases I thought I'd mention to everyone to AVOID and pass on info about cheap 'hard plastic' coloured cases going around on ebay and the like right now. They are made from a material that is 'leaking' over the Leos (not removable) and chipping their paintwork to boot.

Here is a thread on the subject: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=650959

If anyone asks whether these are any good in this thread then redirect them there as the answer is NO!
[HD2 Accessories] nick2k:
i'm actually liking the gelcase supplied by HTC with the TMOUS units. it fits my daily needs: non-slip grip (so it doesn't slide out of my pant/shirt pockets, stays still on the dash of my car, etc...). would be nicer if it was a little bit more snug. and if it came in 'red'.

though i don't know how it would fare with a drop to the ground... i'm thinking the gelcase would absorb some of the impact. not that i'm gonna try.

i noticed the capdase alumor was more slippery in my hands. just my 2 cents.
[HD2 Accessories] Aleemz:
That's a cool case, thanks for the pics.

Can't find it here in the UK though!

[HD2 Accessories] fantasytozi:
Hi all, here is a little warning from me and Beards, who purchased the Case-mate barely there silver chrome for HD2.

I'm going to return the case tomorrow. It was really a bad experience with this case. Although it looks very nice, thin, save the slim design for HD2, unfortunately, it was a nightmare to take the phone out of the case. If you want to take the phone out often, or you are the type that like to change case once a few days like me, or worse if your HD2 crashes or hang and you have to do a soft reset with pen, you really shouldnt buy this case. For the first time I put my phone into the case, and near 10' to take it out, it also nearly scratched all 4 rubber corners of my HD2. If I continue using this case, my beloved HD2 going to be just like the pics in Nightfire123 review, really terrible.

I really recommend not buy this case, if you dont want your lovely HD2 get scratches.

And here is Beard's opinion through our PM:

"When I received my case I was away abroad and it was my daughter who said she thought the case was marvelous.

However, since coming back home and having now tried the case I agree completely, it's an absolute nightmare to take off (only found this out the other day when I had to remove the case from the phone).

Only be grabbing one of the sides and pulling it really hard did I 'eventually' manage to prize it from the phone.

I shan't be returning the case as my daughter threw away all the packaging and it didn't cost a great deal.... I shall however keep the case so that I can use it to experiment against other cases."
[HD2 Accessories] vince2398:
@jetjockgordo, I was wondering if the hard plastic case from Tmobile scratches the phone after you slide it into the case? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Accessories] jetjockgordo:
I have taken it out of the case maybe 10-12 times since I bought it and I don't see a single mark anywhere. The fit of this case is remarkable and it seems that the contact points are in places that are less likely to show any marring.

Pdair Aluminium cases

I just got one of the Pdair Aluminium cases with the (plastic front protection)because it had been out of stock when I placed my order weeks ago

http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000801&products_id=26364

Is it me or is this case for lefties....You need to open the cover to use it and if you are right handed the cover opens to the right meaning you cant use it single handidly ....Only option is to hold it & hold it with your left hand and use your right to operate it :mad:

book style cases

This is problem i thought would happen with all book style cases? I like flip up case, it folds back out of way, also works as stand, both vertically, & horizontal. I have 1 case with flip down flap, don't like,it gets in way for 1 handed use.Plus the little flip latch is on top, it pokes you in ear. I use Imagnum, love it,,,Quig
[HD2 Accessories] sgtcurry:
How much was it?
[HD2 Accessories] jetjockgordo:
$20 US from the Tmo store. I like it more each day.

BTW, I finally found a horizontal belt clip pouch that works with the hard shell on!!!

Got it from eXpansys.com here in the USA listed as "190797 Leather Case for HTC HD2" and was $26.99. Very slim and the only minor issue is I put the top strap (with magnetic holder) in a stretching rig (couple of clamps and a 10 pound weight) overnight to get the extra 2mm so it goes over the side of the phone with no problem and allow the magnetic clip to engage. I am also going to engineer a way to close the bottom of the belt clip to make it a closed belt loop so it will for sure not pop off my belt (although as slide-on belt clips, this one is the best I have seen).

Thank you for your approach

And noted that US version of HD2 which as different housing size if compare with Asian’s

But, we are sorry that it is no planning to develop it at this stage

We will study with our US customers if really have good demand, then, maybe consider if so

[HD2 Accessories] jetjockgordo:
I got one for a USA TMo HD2 (ordered it a while back and forgot to cancel!) so it was sent to me and I tried it to see if it fits and.....indeed it works. I would guess that the overseas HD2 fits just a little better but it would work for me if I wanted to use it. As for now I am sticking with the BodyGlove clear hard shell that I got at the TMo store because I am really liking the built in kickstand. PM me if you have any questions about the black Capdase that I have (never used....new!)

@jetjockgordo

How much do you prefer the Body Glove over the Capdase? I would definitely get a lot of use out of the kickstand for sure, but, might sound dumb, but i think the body glove is ugly, least from the pictures I've seen. That's why I'm leaning towards the capdase. Do you care about the aesthetics? It also looks bulky to me (body glove)

ik heb ze op ebay besteld (advertentie is niet meer actief dus link plaatsen heeft geen zin. had iets van 17 dollar + 3 dollar verzendkosten (in totaal was het ongeveer 15 euro) betaald.

ik had ook op een andere site gekeken daar was het even duur maar daar kon geen nederland uit de verzendopties worden gekozen.. wat erg vreemd was

succes ermee! het is het zeker waard..

edit: wacht eens even heb net die persoon waarvan ik het gekocht had opgezocht op ebay en gekeken of hij weer een nieuwe advertentie had geplaatst en dat is zo link

alleen jammer van
[HD2 Accessories] jetjockgordo:
This one is great. Fits perfect and even works with the Capdase or BodyGlove shell on it.

I superglued the bottom of the belt clip to make it a loop so it will never come off but other wise it is a nice, slim pouch.

Regards,

Gordo
[HD2 Accessories] supplier_new:
Sincere thanks, but this one DOESN'T have belt loops at all. I'm paranoid about loosing the phone. my last loss cost me $420 for the phone $50 for MicroSD, another $30 for case and tons of information, pictures, mp3's.

I need one that not going to slip off the belt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 Accessories] jetjockgordo:
Right, that is why i mentioned a put a nice ribbon of superglue at the bottom of the spring clip that permanently attaches it to the case. Now I have a rock-solid loop that will not come off the belt. I too didn't want it slipping of the belt and this seems to take care of it. The gel type of superglue worked perfectly and shows no signs of separating.

Here are some pictures so you can see what I am talking about. Also, keep in mind the HD2 has the BodyGlove clear shell on it (it is a little difficult to make out since it is clear!).

[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
A month isn't out of the ordinary for a popular case for Vaja. It took about that long back when I ordered one for my Dell Axim X50v. They custom make them when you order, so if they have a lot of orders, it can take some time. Shouldn't take too much longer if you've already waited a month. I really want a Vaja case, but they say they have no plans to make one for the T-Mobile USA HD2, unfortunately. I hope they change their minds. Definitely the best looking case I've seen for the HD2.

I've got an ebay special (£3.99) on for over two months now. It still fits perfectly and looks fab. Why spend money when you don't have to?
[HD2 Accessories] AvRS:
That's a fair point and I'm definitely one for bargains but still hate buying from ebay as anytime I've had an account it's been hacked which gets really annoying when you're getting emails about stuff you've not bought. The security on that site is far from great. If this capdase softcase doesn't come out over here anytime soon I'm going to have to look elsewhere but might get someone I know with an ebay account to buy one of these for me that way I'm technically still not using it lol
