[HD2 Accessories] DicEvsTytnII:
Hi all,

My new silicon case just arrived.

If you're wondering, or looking, it's this one.

I thought I give a small review :)

Ordered the case via U-Bop's Amazone shop on dec 10, arrived today dec. 17. Not bad for normal airmail shipping I guess. total price 11,23£ shipping included.

Now, about the case:

Grip feels good, not slippery but the nice feel of rubber but a little smoother.

All cut-outs seem ok, there's enough room in the front for all sensors located around the speaker on the top. I was a bit scared that the bottom "rounding" would interfere when you try to use the hardware keys but that is ok*.

On the left side, where your volume buttons are, the case has a special bevelled surface so you still feel where the buttons are. Very nice touch I think making it easy to find the volume buttons without have to make a cutout for the buttons which would result in another dust-gathering trap :cool:

The down side of things then: although the case is advertised as being "skin-tight" and "form-fitting" the truth is: it sits to loosely to my liking. I would think that if you make something that is supposed to be form-fitting and skin-tight etc then it would need at least some effort to slip my HD2 in there and it would be as tight as .... well think "men in tights" :D (was the first thing that slipped in my mind) ...

Honestly. I think if I drop my phone it would be well protected for the first bounce.... but I'm scared it might just be thrown out of the case on impact! :eek:

It just feels a bit to 'light' and not much of the tight etc is noticeable.

Another small think I immediately notices was that the moment I had slipped it on and carried it around for a few hours in my pocket, dust appeared out of nowhere, clinging on to my screen where I had never seen it before?!? Strange as I always carry it in my pocket and I can't really remember ever having dust there that clearly... I'll see if that clears after a few days use.

I took some pictures and a small movie to give a general idea of what I mean.

So overal:

the PRO's

- good feel

- anti slip

- drop protection (100% for the first impact... guess % goes down with each consecutive bounce :D)

- all sensors, camera, flash leds, 3.5mm jack and micro USB are reachable

- volume keys can still be located through touch feeling

- cheap

the CONS

- not at all skin tight as advertised

- dust-magnet?

hope you liked the review. I'm interested en opinions of people using other types of silicon cases that do feel skin tight and secure so let me know what you have!

link to youtube for the movie : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ3fMmOg-zs
[HD2 Accessories] galaxys:
Thanks for the review. It looks cool for the most part other than it's not skin tight...
[HD2 Accessories] DicEvsTytnII:
To be honest, I'm getting more and more dissatisfied by the day :(

Taking the phone out of the pocket is a sure way to get at least 1 corner of the silicone case dislodged from the phone. Sometimes even the two top corners come off so you end up fetching the phone without case :(

And I can also confirm that the case is a dust magnet in the meantime... so no good there either...

I think I will be filing for the 14 day money back guarantee on this one and trying another one...

DicE
[HD2 Accessories] fraser68:
Yep I'd have to agree 100% with your review, bought one of these cases on ebay and initially thought it was good, but as you say it's not skin tight it's more "underpants tight"...so the case does come off sometimes when you take the phone out of your pocket as it sticks to your pocket...and if you are looking for a static dust magnet this wouldn't go amiss...
[HD2 Accessories] Lukasss:
Just an idea guys, but does silicone shrink when exposed to heat? If so, you could try bathing it in hot water to shrink it a little... ?

Grtz

Lukas
[HD2 Accessories] DicEvsTytnII:
shrink? you sure about that? Haven't tried that.

case could do with a wash though since it has been sucking in dust like a black whole for the past couple of days so... let me give that a try :D

If we're sure of one thing then it's that it wont break the case :rolleyes:

DicE
[HD2 Accessories] Lukasss:
Did you try it? Coz now I'm curious myself... :D
[HD2 Accessories] creed:
I very much doubt it will shrink. They use silicone like this as baking trays!!

Let me know if you can help!

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
Nice work. I can help you with the update script. Also I added a tool in my pre-kitchen that will allow people to flash themes without having to go in to the recovery partition. So that themers don't need to create update scripts and stuff.

I'm about to make a second gtalk because my personal contact list has been overrun by people I've added for fresh rom related reasons. lol.

Hey 702... im me. Are you home / free to test? I have an update.

What is your PC OS (XP/VISTA/win7)?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nonameboy007:

Daniel
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] heineken78:
Yes

you have old version of Phone part- its incompatible with pda part.

Search for full i780PDXIB1 upgrade and cdma drivers(for phone part) on this forum. When you done with full upgrade you can reflash pda part again and dont forget to HARD-RESET after

Anyone try it?

I used it on WM 6.1 on my old Hermes 160 and i was very pleased.

Now i thinking to put it on Hero.

The GUI looks very clear and nice. But I wonder that when it is released and What maps does it have? I live in Vietnam and I don't know does it have Vietnam's map?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] meggs:
Looks very nice, but where can I download/buy the app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] alexdin1991:
i'm waiting for this app too. it has the best map for romania
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] luka1002:
try google to find your map ,but i think they have it.

U need to buy an application...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] meggs:
Where can I buy the app. We don`t have access to paid apps in Norway.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] semi.6709:
Currently you cannot buy it separately, it is only available with "Samsung Galaxy Spica" as a free addition at a Hungarian mobile operator. Hopefully they will release as an individual product soon. I have no more info. http://www.igomyway.com/android/en/faq.html

There is not any info about required android version either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] alexdin1991:
as long as someone can get that kit... i think we can modify it to work in any language with any map.

I suggest you delete this post before you get a ban for promoting warez and then take a very good good look at the forum rules, especially #6!

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Pillock:
And you wonder why there's only a fraction of the number of developers for Android as there are for iPhone....

Why not try supporting developers, buy their software, and show your support? Maybe then we'll get quality apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] apollooff320:
there is no wondering for that. The reason is because the Iphone was out first and has more of the market...duh. The apps on the Iphone get warez too...you make it sound like only android apps only get warez.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Pillock:
"duh" yourself.... the iPhone market is *growing* faster than Android too, the lead time has nothing to do with that. Yes people pirate iPhone apps but why lower yourself to that?

Would it make you want to continue development for a platform knowing it was 'usual' to pirate instead of purchase? What if it wasn't a hobby, what if it was your living? iGo Navigation isn't something someone's written in the evening to pass the time, it's a company trying to survive.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
You are breaking the rules:

Note the emphasis!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] liamhere:

so does anybody know anything about igo on android...

i've used igo since igo 2006 and am very very pleased with it so i'm waiting for very eagerly....probably more eagerly than for the official 2.1 heheh
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] laufine:
This looks like IGO Amigo, which is a lite version of IGO8.

I use IGO8 on my GPS and Touch Pro. Now I can expect it on My hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] alexdin1991:
i just realized there's a sys.txt in the apk. i've tried modifying it a few times but with no results. can anyone check it out?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
You need a licence to make it work:

factory_license_code_filename="%sdcard%/iGO/prepaid"

Without this it just starts and closes
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] vigin:
It' s iGO Amigo allright, currently supports 320×480 resolution (HVGA) only.

Check out the gallery of screenshots:

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] alexdin1991:
and igo is now available for download and fully working (you know what i mean :P)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tomfreay:
No, I don't know what you mean, please explain?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] alexdin1991:
it's been cracked. i hope i won't get banned for this :P

MOD EDIT: You will be if you continue encouraging folks to use Warez.

There is no need to tell / inform people about Warez, it's against our rules and those that like to steal software know about this stuff anyway.

Discuss the software in this thread - NO MORE talk of cracking or Warez.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Fallen Spartan:
Warez is not permitted on XDA, any further discussion on this will result in a ban for said person!!!!!!!

Its a real shame they haven't released this to the market, it works really well, nice UI

Haven't used it on the road yet, but so far, better than copilot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] alexdin1991:
that's why i hesitated the first time. i'll be good from no on.

igo will realease it for sale soon. at least that's what they're saying

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] lodger:
Now i am not a lover of warez , But i did install it see if its better than co-pilot or not...

Well i have to say yes it is so as soon as its on market i will buy it and reinstall it.Its so much faster than co-pilot

Now they have done a great job of porting it to the android platform,And i am sure all there want to do now is iron out a few bugs before posting it on market.

Yep, used it for about 2 hours, works great and looks great... :D

Has anybody that has tried this software been able to get poi's working and speedcams?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] alexdin1991:
speedcams yes. pois haven't tried.

copy the speedcams.txt in content/poi/speedcam

open iGO

get a GPS fix.

go to sounds and alerts and you'll have the option to activate speedcam warnings
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Snooker:
Okay, so apparently iGo MyWay for Android is out there, but they just refuse to sell it. I just don't get it. I'm perfectly willing to buy this superior product but when I google it, all I find are warez links.

Come on iGo!!! There's tons of people out there willing to pay good money for this!! What the heck are you waiting for???
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] laufine:
I've installed the igo myway. But it runs very slowly. I use the same map which I coyied from igo amigo. I hope it could realease newer version to fix all the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] peterc10:
Unless IGO have started selling an Android version of Myway (in which case I apologise in advance) you have installed an illegal copy of the software with an illegal copy of the map haven't you? In that case no wonder it is slow.

When you say you want them to release a newer version is that because you want to BUY it or steal it? Your answer may just affect their decision as to whether or not they bother producing that newer version :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] anarchyuk:
what version do you have installed? I have 8.42.124036 on but haven't been out lately to test the speed...

I like to try before I buy..:p
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] peterc10:
Or try and never buy. So what are the chances of IGO spending money bringing out a new version (or even launching their existing version) if everybody stole it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] anarchyuk:
I'm sorry but I dont have to explain myself to you, jump down off your high horse..
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] peterc10:
Sounds like I have touched a raw nerve then. ;) And not a high horse just a need to recognise what an excuse like "try before I buy" really means. If everybody did it there would be no software developed. But hey don't worry .... as you say you don't HAVE to explain yourself to anybody .... :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] anarchyuk:
Raw nerve? haha, no not really I am sitting laughing at you because I knew from when I posted the first comment you would bite... It's the same old crap if everyone stole software they would stop developing. Like musicians have stopped making music (mp3), films have stopped being produced (divx), Microsoft have went bankrupt (windows wga hacks)... and on and on...

I paid £27 for Co-pilot and it lags like sh*t, so until developers start developing software that 1) Is fully tested and 2) If the device is not powerful enough to run it dont release a verion for money making sake.

I will try before I buy thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] peterc10:
For somebody who does not need to explain himself to anybody you are sure spending a lot of time explaining ........ :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] anarchyuk:
I believe I said " i don't have to explian myself to you" everyone else can have the explaination :p

anyway.. hopefully when the software does come out properly instead of in its motonav incarnation I hope it is good as apart from the lag on Co-pilot its not really a good navigation package..
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] luka1002:
I am sorry to tell U but your ver. is 8.4 it is not ver.9.. It is the latesed before ver.9. Ver 9 is not out yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] anarchyuk:
what actually is it you are sorry to tell me?

Did when I post the version number not tell you I may of had an inkling it was version 8?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] szlevi:
It's a small Hungarian company and apparently (brainwashed) licensed it to Vodafone as an exclusive for one of their phone... small firms often defy basic logic as soon as they get their first fat check from someone, y'know. ;)

PS: not offense but seeing warez links posted by alexdin1991 thinking it's normal isn't really surprising if you look at his location- IIRC Romania had the highest percentage of piracy in the entire EU, the worst track record on copyrights... no wonder you don't see software inventions coming from there (foreign firms only interested in cheap labor.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] andreiileana:
szlevi you have no right to generalize like you did.

yes, there is a lot of piracy in romania, but more than 75% is due to the lack of interes in providing original software that many of the companies show.

I know a lot of people that turn to piracy because of the lack of official channels.

Example:

i bought my nexux one from an underground shop, as google refuses to sell it here.

i have to gat paid apps from torrents because i cannot acces paid apps from romania. what would you do?

in terms of games and software it is the same issue... they don't sell them in romania, or they become available after 3 to 15 months...

If i want, let's say, an xbox game... i have to order it from amazon... and that almost doubles the price of the game when you take into account the transport fees.

when i want certain music i have to talk to friends in other countries because itunes is not available here, and many of the other music stores are not accepting romanian users.

I have to use a proxy in order to benefit from my last.fm paid subscription.

I have to use proxies to benefit from my sky.TV paid subscription... and so on.

And let's not forget that most of the warez/torrents engines are from other eu countries and from the states...
