Anybody have any experiences with this case? It is like a gel type case that is suppose to be as flexible as silicone but tougher than a crystal case. link provided above.

I just went for the in stock black one from inkino.should be here in an hour or so ;o)

This metal case looks really nice to me, just ordered one.

haven't got the resin case from nettimes yet, I assume this metal case will be bigger than that resin case, but it protects way better for sure.
[HD2 Accessories] Beards:
Nice.....

Look forward to hearing your comments. :)

Ordered one a few weeks ago :-)

Some short review of top 5 best cases at the market for HD2 - http://pockethacks.com/top-5-of-the-best-cases-for-htc-hd2/ :)
[HD2 Accessories] jah:
Got mine delivered today. Nice quality leather. Very functional and more professional looking than the equivalent for the HTC HD.
[HD2 Accessories] fards:
the noreve is ok. for the money I would have expected a better build quality.

just a few small niggles, maybe if they hadn't bothered with the expensive but wasted packaging screwdriver and stuff. maybe if that wasn't included pity would be 10 euro cheaper and better value for money
[HD2 Accessories] fatalus:
Could you possibly post some pictures of it? There aren't some many pictures of it in the webside..
[HD2 Accessories] jackdow:
Please could you post some pics if possible?

Also does the case add much thickness?

Is the case genuine leather or is it the imitation type?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Accessories] Xeon:
This case also covers the proximity sensor :eek:
[HD2 Accessories] DavrosMackenzie:
Got that case right now one on my phone, an while i like it it doesn't quite fit just right, the case over laps the sides in theory but this doesn't. I do have an invisishield on too but i dont imagine that'd make too much difference.

When i had my iPhone i had an awesome casemate case for it, and i could throw the phone down on the desk and not need to care about scratches, thats what i want with this case and it almost does that, i just think in my pocket, grime and bits could get trapped there. Its quite bendy, not like a normal "condom" silicone case so its still has a non slip feel to it which is really good. Now i've got a screen protector on and this case i can carry it in my pocket without the leather slip case.
[HD2 Accessories] fatalus:
This Thread Is Worthless Without Pics!!! ;)
[HD2 Accessories] fards:
Ok photos of the noreve attached were going to be attached in a zip, but the forum isn't playing nicely..

I took them earlier today and only had the HD2 with me so the hd2 obviously isn't in the case as I needed to take pics with something..

Now I don't have two arguing under4s doing my head in, I can try and be a bit more coherent.

Pluses:

Case looks very nice, fits the HD2 perfectly and the flip is actually hinged halfway down the back.

So it can be flipped down to clear the camera, and gets its out of the way when holding the device near your ear..

The case at the back sits exactly flush with the top of the camera lens so it's nicely protected.

The corners of the HD2 are open, but the edges are about 1mm proud of the rest of the case so will offer some protection.

the flap for the press-stud has a cut out to let you use a headphone cable while it's closed.

It's pretty compact overall, and definitely makes the HD2 feel a bit more solid.

It fits perfectly inside my "freeloader" case, so I get extra protection for it.

Niggles:

for the price of the case I'd expect a bit better finishing.

The mesh covering the earpiece isn't well done, the bottom edge is glued into the leather but the top part isn't so it ridges out. I may see how many times I manage to catch it (3 times today) and make it worse before I do something about it, I reckon a drop of superglue will fix it.

The inside looks lovely and the leather is soft, although the stitching along the top of pocket is a bit sharp, which is odd as the edges are perfect..

Where the mounting clip goes theres a really nice screw cover, but it is just that a screw, it's really nice but a small piece of plastic (or rubber by preference) would do the job just as well.

It is less likely to make a horrible noise when you put it down on your mother-in-laws expensive glass table .

The logo button on the front is right over the power button. It sticks up slightly above the level of the leather, so it's easy to catch it and put the power on.

the afore-mentioned closing strap covers the USB slot, so you can't close it and charge at the same time, I would have thought it possible to make a |_| shaped strap that went either side of the headphone and usb cables.

The "finishing kit" and the heavy weight cardboard presentation box is nice, but a bit OTT.. I'd rather they knocked 10 euro of the price and left these out.
[HD2 Accessories] DavrosMackenzie:
SILENCE...when i can get my pics off the camera i will post them...
[HD2 Accessories] fatalus:
Excellent review fards! I am seriously considering buying one for myself too.
[HD2 Accessories] jah:
It is leather and here are some good pics at mobilefun: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-leather-pouch-po-s511-p22218.htm
[HD2 Accessories] audiem:
Don't bother with the superglue, get a replacement. Mine doesn't have that problem its glued on both sides and lies flush. Send yours back and get it replaced... can you let us know how you get on :p
[HD2 Accessories] jackdow:
Thanks for the link, just one question, is it easy to slide the phone in and out of the case?
[HD2 Accessories] jah:
Yes it is easy to slide in/out as long as you remember the camera at the back helps to keep the HD2 in-place by sloting into the camera hole in the case.
[HD2 Accessories] robertlewisca:
I have another quick question. Is the back of the case nice and rigid? I would be concerned that after a while it may start to fold away from the body of the phone, especially at the top where there is nothing holding it to the phone itself.
[HD2 Accessories] jah:
Yes the back is very stiff. This is a good quality and simple case. Please remember the closure menchanism is by friction, there is a catch which attaches itself at the top of the HD2.
[HD2 Accessories] jackdow:
Thanks for the comments, I think i'll go for this case, it looks ok and is lot cheaper than the alternatives.
[HD2 Accessories] tukmol:
cheapest case

just use a rubber - an unused condom...it is water proofed up to 50 M
[HD2 Accessories] Beards:
First ~ Boy am I relieved you said 'unused'.

Second ~ Safe sex at 50 metres...... For that to happen I would enter them in the 'Sports Personality of the Year' competition. :D
[HD2 Accessories] Bensky:
Hi, anyone seen a case that is:

1. Folds on side not top like a flip wallet

2. Detachable from main wallet but still in a case

3. Belt clip

I need a case that can fold back in landscape mode, that can be propped up at an angle on a flat service. Have searched forum and sellers but no luck.

Thanks

Got Mine

Got mine yesterday,

bought from

http://cgi.ebay.com.hk/A5-Custom-Ma...Q_trkparmsZalgo=SI&its=I&itu=UCI&otn=10&ps=63

Looks elegent, not as Slim as the ones that comes with HD2, but looks nicer...

mind that photos are by the HD2 itself...
[HD2 Accessories] neil_swann80:
Nice. I've ordered an E5 offf the same chap. What was the total delivery time? I'm wondering if mine will arrive this side of xmas.
[HD2 Accessories] Isadora:
When did you order it? I ordered a B1 on 4th December, got despatch notice on the 11th (so 5 working days from order date) which stated "Generally, you will receive it within 6 to 14 workdays". So while they're fast making them, delivery is totally dependent on the goodwill of the postal system!
[HD2 Accessories] polystirenman:
i used to have one of this on my old Eten m700.first of all it is just making phone to look very big.but bigest issue i had was that while this was on the phone i just could not get GPS lock and phone signal was droping.metal just did not do any good to the antena.i hope that this will not be your case.
[HD2 Accessories] neil_swann80:
Ordered mine on the 7th. Not been advised of dispatch yet. :(
[HD2 Accessories] cheetah2k:
I want one like this resin case, but made of polycarbonate (with the rubbery touch). They make them for the iphone, but have never seen them for the HD2. I have dropped my iphone so many times, and it protects the edges very well.

Not sure about the resin cases. I might order one as they reveal more of the screen than the silicone cases, and hope a polycarbonate one comes out eventually.....
[HD2 Accessories] here4info:
Looks like I ordered the same case from here; am surprised to see that even the buttons are covered; don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.

maybe later i will order one of those resin cases.. they look good.. btw, how does the volume key work on the resin ones?

.
[HD2 Accessories] hazem77:
It actually took 10 Days to arrive, dispatched 4 Days after the order.
[HD2 Accessories] alexd83:
Hi guys,

Is one of you also have the problem with the Noreve http://www.noreve.com/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_Leo_-_HTC_Touch_HD2_Tradition.html

Apparently, the digital compass is not working when the phone is inside the case... :(
[HD2 Accessories] DialecticThought:
Netimes confirmed delivery of my resin case order as of today. Should be in my hands next week. Will post pictures if anyone is interested if one isnt already up by then. I'm looking forward for a polyurathane type case mentioned earlier. But at $6 usd for the resin from Netimes, i figured it was worth a shot until a better skin becomes available.

pouch case for silicone skinned hd2

Hi Guys

Anyone have a silicone cover on their HD2 and a case (pouch/book/flip) that it will fit into easily?

I saw a video of the pdair book style, but it was a very tight fit.
[HD2 Accessories] robertlewisca:
Thanks for the info. I just received mine today, and it's exactly what I was hoping for. Simple, doesn't add much bulk, fits perfect, seems quite good quality. Recommended!

Protecting The Front of the HD2

I have been following this thread with interest from day 1. Ahh, Piel Fragma, if only I could.... :eek: :)

Anyway my real point is this; we have comments on a load of cases here that are designed to protect the device if it is dropped onto its edges.

Given that the highest risk to the phone is dropping it face down on a concrete floor and breaking the screen to bits (number of threads on this happening already), which one of you is using a case or slip-over cover that you are certain gives the device protection against this event?

Look forward to your comments.

my resin soft case from nettime should arrive this week, I found some actual pics that it should look like. http://translate.google.com/transla...24&t=1341205&r=3&last=16443382&sl=zh-CN&tl=en

I had ordered the wrong metal case from PDAIR, they actually have 2 styles, I want the one without transparent plastic cover, however I ordred the one with it, and they have sent to me last week already...so I just orded another one again..

Has anyone come across a plastic rubber skinned case like this one for the HD2?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hard-Case-Cov..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches?hash=item2a02c4f726

I bought one of these for my Touch HD and it is fantastic, but upgraded to the HD2 now

and can't find one like this anywhere.

Slip case

I have the new PDAir vertical type slip case.

I had one for my HD which was great.

It is solid and snug.

See the PDAir site.
[HD2 Accessories] Fedron:
I bought this Pielframa case, very nice (and expensive) BUT it has 2 BIG ISSUES!!!!

1- You can´t close the magnetic tab if your headphones are plugged in!

2- The magnet is on the part of the case behind the phone and not on the folding tab, so your digital compass will not work.

And for last, but this one is subjective, I feel that when closed .... compared to my previous TOUCH HD classic snap closure case from Pielframa this model is way too thick.... which is a sad considering that the HD2 is very thin....

So leather guys think better about this one (I actually ordered one :P):

http://www.noreve.com/category/Smartphone_HTC/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_Leo_-_HTC_Touch_HD2_Tradition.html
[HD2 Accessories] Xeon:
This is exactly why I bought the Noreve and not the Piel Frama. Actually I was really confused at the beginning, but made up my mind and went with the Noreve. It seems pretty good. I'd love to read reviews about it.
[HD2 Accessories] thehawkCB:
Isn't it frustrating to receive a phone call with these cases? Or the device can be easily taken out to answer a call?

My E4 case arrived yesterday. Its ok, doubles the thickness of the phone, certainly adds a lot of protection, but would like something thinner IMO. Also phone is not as tight as it should be inside case. I actaully think if a camera cutout was done then the phone would fit better.
[HD2 Accessories] fards:
realised something else today about the noreve case..

fold the back around, presstud it together and the entire thing will sit on it's side.

So I have a landscape stand.. Unfortunately it's vertical (rather than laid back) but it's a nice find :D
[HD2 Accessories] Beards:

i ordered this for my yet-to-be-bought HD2: Luxury silicone case (black) from PDair a couple of days back

http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000801&products_id=26975

dont know when it will arrive but lets see how it looks...wonder if its gonna be sufficient protection:mad: what with all the glass cracking posts!:eek:

btw - i have used Noreve cases for my N958GB, N82 (Nokia both) abd they are quite good...but only thing is after extended usage and lots of drops etc, the matt leather finish is a bit scuffed...and the magnetic stud/button at the back of the case was torn off...all this after one year of putting in and out of jeans/pants pocket!:(

also for noreve - i noticed that my N86 regular glosssy one leather one has held out better than the more expensive matte leather one...
[HD2 Accessories] gavinfabl:
some photos, hope these help.

Can someone who received the Piel Frama Magnum case post some photos, especially on the side to see how much thickness it add?

Is the HD2 well maintained in the case?

thanks!

If it don't add too thickness I will go for this one, else I will use the supplied pouch & another pouch with a loop.

Have anyone tested this one from netimes? It's very cheap, and the quality seems decent for the price :

Hi Guys,

My girlfriend has just bought a HD2. (She was offered it free on T-Mobile, with 300 mins, unlimited txts and internet for £20 P/M on an 18 month contract!) Anyway, the question is should I get her the Piel Frama Magnum or the Noreve? Mobile Fun has the best prices for both with the Piel Frama at £40 and the Noreve at £30 though both are out of stock at the moment. Any views would be welcome :-)

me too but now they remove the delivery day from tracking information :( mybe they will late cz its Christmas time

Just got my resin skin soft case, I'd say I like the fact that it dosen't bulk much, and It protects the edges and corners to against to crash the LCD screen, and yes it leaves the touch screen wide open（I have a Boxwave screen film on), however, I've had the experience that my O2 flame LCD screen got crushed while it's in a leather case.

Not sure if I can get my metal case before Christmas, I will post some pics of it once I have it in hand.

The resin case holds tightly, its soft material but not soft as the silicone case,Mine is gray btw.

Everyone likes pics.

I've read through 6 pages of this thread so far and I'm starting to lose the will to live - so apologies if this has been asked/answered in the pages between 6 and 33 - but I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who has bought one of the E4 case types from ebay.

I'm not sure what the difference between the e4 and e5 is (besides the price), but I like the idea of being able to use one case to hold both the phone plus cards and cash, so I can ditch my wallet.

Anyone found any probs with the E4 or is it OK ?

Thanks.
[HD2 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Check page 32 (previous page) my post number 314, even has 3 pics. Its a little large for my liking ie adds a lot of extra bulk but well made. If you want it, you can buy it from me at £13 plus postage. Bought 5 other cases :)

I think the best part about it is you can still use all the devices functions whilst the case is on the device.

You can choose allsorts of combinations of colour.

[HD2 Accessories] tdmsdeano:
thanks for link :cool: although stitching isn't too appealing that looks quite practical for me as it's got stylus holder and memory card slots and more importantly a quick magnetic close rather than clip

only thing is that it doesn't seem to have anything that securely holds the HD2 within it so turning it upside down surely would mean the HD2 would drop out :confused:
[HD2 Accessories] gavinfabl:
the fit on previous versions of this case have been fine for me and a good fit.
[HD2 Accessories] Diamond Dave:
Thanks for the offer - but I fancy one in black, plus I'd prefer to have my name on it rather than yours :)

I hear what your saying about the extra bulk - it's such a slim phone, it seems a real shame to bulk it up.

the extra bulk is a concern imo ... why don't you change your name to mine , just so you can have the case. lol
