[HD2 Accessories] carbunaru:
I always wanted to modify original case from HTC HD2 (one from original package) because even if I like it very muck it has some flows:

- When somebody is calling me I must struggle to take the phone out without answering by mistake on that call.

- When I wanted to check what time it is, it was faster to ask somebody else instead of taking my phone from my pocket in this winter cold (-200 C)

- Because of low temperature I have to keep my phone inside mi jacket to have normal battery life but my clothes don't have inside pockets because if you open the jacket will get cold inside. Because of this I have to make that case hang on my neck, very close by it to allow me to have access to it without opening to much of my jacket zip.

- I was thinking to make a hole in the back of case to be able to use flash light from back of device like a torch (With TorchButton thancks xda-develover) because now in winter when is dark big part of afternoon and I find myself using this feature very often.

- I needed protection for my phone because now even if I love this devices I am a very careless owner and scratches and droppings are a question of "when" rater that "if" I drop down or scratch my expensive device.

So i star from thinking of making of two holes in original case of device one in the front for screen and one in the back for light. But then I thought if I make a mistake I will ruin this case wick is quite expensive to buy again. And because of this I stat to make a completely new one.

And here is the result of that work:

Please ignore bad finishing on some parts but this is a "prototype" and I never done this before but i may stick with it because I am very happy with it (very practical).

Advantages:

- Protection against scratches.

- Protection against droppings of device on some hard surfaces (corner are the Achilles heel for his device because of glass surface). Bottom corners have a wicker protection like the top ones.

- Possibility to hang the device in a lot of places because of that clipping system.

- Clip is placed in the right position on the bottom of device not in the top like normal manufacturers do. In this way when you have the device hanging on neck or belt loop and you lift the device to see the screen you don't need to turn it upside down (I don't need for others to see correct position of the screen but to see it myself). Also is more comfortable when you have the phone near your ear for a conversation.

- I make this case very tide on my phone and now I keep it without battery cover an I can make a soft reset any time thru the case with that little red reset button without straggling to remove the phone from the case or remove (again struggling) the battery cover. Plus now device is locking almost as slick like it was looking naked.

- I didn't make a hole were the light sensor is and is locking like this is affecting responsivity of auto light on the device but my battery now it seems to last more so I consider this an advantage. Proximity sensor is working fine in phone kavas.

- Unrestricted access to all functions of the device without need to remove it from the case. Exceptions MicroSD card, battery and SIM but this ones I never touch them on my previous device (HTC HD) in a year of use.

- Some kind of organic feeling on touching this device now because of soft leather imitation, very pleasant.(I don't want natural leather).

- Almost free. Concept and cutting of material is made by me and sowing by my wife. Materials I have fond some lying around in my house from some project of my wife.

Disadvantages:

- Transparent plastic protecting the screen is making a lot of bubbles when it sticks against it, making the screen to look ugly when is turned off (see pictures). I am thinking to a solution now (suggestions appreciated).

- Hole for front speaker absent (will be made soon)

This is not a commercial project I made this case for myself and I will like to hear from you any comment or suggestions.

P.S. Sorry for my English is not my firs language and on school it wasn't my strong point.
