I received these screen protectors today and i have to say that they are probably the best i've tried thus far. They are very cheap and arrived extremely quickly from the U.S.

I had applied the Zagg invisible shield for the Desire before but i was not satisfied with it for various reasons... however, these protectors are great, i messed up the application of the first one because it caught some dust particles in the air, took my time with the second one and after wiping the screen with a lint free cloth (only), I applied the protector and there are no dust particles underneath or air bubbles on the screen whatsoever.

Great product, definately recommended.
[Desire Accessories] who_me:
I bought one of these off ebay for a couple of quid...but after taking delivery and putting it on my phone I have gone back to using the one that came with the quad pack off play instead. The black silicone was a little too sticky for me. The super hydro protective case is a bit smoother yet still retaining that bit of friction when in the hand.

Also just an update on the Vikuiti screen protector...after a while it begins to feel like there's a powdery residue on the screen...although that might be because of heavy usage and the amount of fingerprints on it. I just give it a good wipe and it feels fine...so I guess I have to stop being lazy and wipe my screen with a microfibre every now and then! Has anyone else found this? I've never noticed it with any of my other (perhaps better) screen protectors before...just waiting on delivery of Exim now...

that car cradle's arm will break within a few weeks. it is made of a soft iron rod on the inside. if you leave it in one position it should last for a while though.
[Desire Accessories] happyhkv:
not sure if the protection is better then the one from mobilefun but I am very happy with mine. Also much cheeper as its £2.98 delivered from ebay.
[Desire Accessories] Brodel:
Does anyone know of a case that will allow the desire to fit inside it WITH a flexiskin on it? I'd like one to put it in when carrying my phone in my bag if possible.

I purchased this Mofi case from Amazon a while back....it's great quality and sells at a reasonable price:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Desire-SUPE...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1272810430&sr=8-1

It allows you to accommodate both the handset and the flexishield at the same time, though, without the flexishield it's a little loose, with the flexishield, it fits like a glove.

Here are a few pics of how its fits with the flexishield case:
[Desire Accessories] Brodel:
^ Thanks, just ordered one. Would have been nice to find one with a harder case to protect the screen but it's better than nothing for now. :)

Just seen this gel TPU resin (rubberized hard plastic) case on eBay, you also get a free screen protector. At only £2.64 with free p&p, it's a bargain:

[Desire Accessories] fredfox_uk:
From Mobilefun

bought one of these although it's gone up by £2 since I bought it at the weekend. Fits perfectly, has a decent sized cut out for the mic and speaker, It also has on/off and volume rocker markings. It covers over the lip at the bottom well. It's very "rubbery" and provides a good grip.

Quite expensive compare to others that are about and I wouldn't have paid £10 for it.
[Desire Accessories] chenman:
Brought one of these from amazon, fits perfectly, soft inside, so looks like it shouldnt scratch the phone.

Silicone warning and Gel Case bargain

Hey guys,

Two things (I have searched; sorry if repost, thread is long now!)

First:

I was using one of the new silicone cases which covers up the phone, but I have removed my phone from the case, for reasons explained below.

It seems that the cheap silicone didn't really mix well with the weird 'soft plastic' desire finish. The fine powder feeling silicone greasiness is making the back of the phone look patchy, more than just fingerprints do.

Yours might be okay, but it's a bit too smelly and slimy feeling for me!

Apart from those negatives, I have dropped the phone a few times, and I can really say that the thick silicone helps take the impact so well.

I could see and hear it impacting and rolling, and with the silicone on, it sounded very safe, compared to without any protection anyway! lol.

Another problem, I thought I wouldn't mind, but it really does just nullify all the looks of the desire. Nobody will know what phone you have, it just is just so hidden away (obviously, lol). But it was alright for £1.50! (Bought it off here from another link)

Second:

Gel Cases in UK already for £2.95 delivered.

I am just posting about these because they are unbranded (no nexus word) and also they have a variety of colours, blue and purple etc, like the flexishield ones on mobilefun, but £2.95 delivered instead of over £10 then postage. (But obviously these aren't custom for the desire).

I have just bought one of these off eBay, so will let you know what it's like!

It looks to be a nexus case, looking at the front speaker gap, so I will see how it fits. But from the picture at least, they are making it look like it would come over the chin OK... lol

Check out the eBay seller here
[Desire Accessories] redrazr7791:
I have noticed that silicone cases in general usually have some sort of "powder/slime/icky" feeling finish when you first take them out of the packaging. Usually what I do is just rinse them with warm water and dish soap and pat them dry.

I have ordered 2 of those cases and hope to have them in my hands within the next week or so. Thanks for your review of them.

One more thing. I noticed that you said that they were sort of thick. Did they protect the phone pretty good? For the price...I am expecting some sort of paper-thin, cheapo silicone case.
[Desire Accessories] Stuartx:
Looks like the one I got today,but mine was clear
[Desire Accessories] ChesterZZ:
I just received my dcmugen screen protector. It's quite ok, it's not a perfect fit and there are some small bubbles on the corners but I guess those just need some time. Overall for the price I'm quite satisfied :)
[Desire Accessories] jonmall1441:
I received this case on Friday. Sorry I dont have my phone in the pouch but using it to take the pictures. Got it off ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PDair-Black-L...Accessories&hash=item563b762196#ht_2783wt_956

It fits the phone very nicely, tight at first but loosened up perfectly.

Pros:

The phone fills very secure inside the pouch.

Fits perfectly and loosens up nicely.

It's hard on the inside and has a small cushion on the outside therefore it should protect the phone from drops (test at your own risk :-P)

Cons:

my phone with a gel case (picture should be included) does not fit comfortably. Stretches it out too much for me (looking for a slimmer case atm).

Does not have a pull up cord.

And finally it does not have a soft inside so as to clean the screen from finger prints while pulling it out.

(XYLO/FlexiShield) Hybrid Rubber Gel Skin Case Cover for HTC Desire

I have just received this case off eBay expecting a Nexus One Case, but it's desire-specific and has a different finish on the back, it seems to be exactly like the MobileFun one.

But off eBay for £2.95 delivered.

http://tinyurl.com/37udhcu

And they gave me:

Click each thumbnail to open up.

It has a glossy front, which is very grippy, but also a matte rear (and inside) finish.

This matte finish on the case I received is less grippy on the back than the actual phone... be very warned.

I bought this one off eBay because in the pics on the link, it seemed to have an overall glossiness, which would have been ideal.

But it's desire specific case for £2.95 to my doorstep, so I am really happy - it looks really nice!

Edit: I am getting more and more happy with this skin, I've only received it this morning but it just looks so good! It has just enough plastic around raised around the front to stop anything scratching the screen or buttons if you drop it (on a flat surface...) it's so nice!

Ive finally got the pdair bookstyle leather case I ordered last month off ebay, the seller never mentioned he/she didn't any stock, got email couple days informing me that it'll be 2/3weeks but turned out to be 4weeks.

the status of the official screen protectors I pre-ordered off play is currently on 'packing', hopefully have it early/mid next week and not the 1-2weeks delivery time I've experiened with them on other occassions.

so I now have a case, car charger, 16gb micro sd and soon the screen protector, the accessories cost £70-£80(with the 16gb card being little over £30). the phone cost me £399.99(cpw orange payg, didn't have to pay for the £10 top and didn't get the sim card. already had a orange payg so the gy just 'upgraded' it) so have spent almost £500 on it, wish I'd known about the £350 payg deal/s.

have a car dock I bought for the touch hd last year, it's adjustable so should fit the desire tho I've yet to try it). tempted by the brodit one(would need a car clip as well) tho as the one I have 'sticks' to the windscreen, have a tomtom so can't have both on the windscreen at the same time. but that's another £30-£40.

just thought id share my experience of cases. bought one of the rubberised gel skin cases off ebay - 400120060197 - and i'm very happy with it, especially for less than £4. excellent quality cutouts for mic, earpiece etc, grippy back, nice fit, and it hardly makes the device any bigger or heavier.

seller has a number of products: e4deal_uk

im getting some screen protectors which i'll report on
[Desire Accessories] fowler002:
got it off amazon and it's 'only' class 2(the price seems to have come down a bit since I ordered it, cost me £32.99), the faster ones are a bit too expensive for me(well known/reliable brands).

DCmugen case

I got my black dotted resin case today. Ordered it from DC Mugens ebay shop.

Over all im very pleased with it, fit is miles ahead of the nexus one branded case I had before, the shiny surface make the case look and feel not so cheap as the n1 case does, it has some minor imperfections from manufacturing i guess but it dont show unles you inspect the case REALLY close.

I defenetly recommend checking it out.

Hi all, i just got the 6 in a box screen-protector. It´s crap, don´t waste your money on this one. First of all it´s just a transparent plastic like the one you put on a book-cover. The you get 1 A4 cut in 2 pieces with 3 "protectors". I´v put on alot of screen-protectors and know that you get bubbles but this is the worst crap. The bubbles is impossible to remove without scratching the protector.

martin fields

invisible shield and

brando screen protectors today

me and 2 firens all have desires so we compared them

i applied all of them VERY carefully ... not a single spec of anything under them

and we decided that

Brando UltraClear

are MILES ahead of the competition ...

fleels better looks better thinner ... only test is how hard wearing but time will tell

all are VERY good

but brando is by far the best

thought id let every1 know

out of the 3 id say invisible shield was worst

then martin fields was .... bareable

but i can barley even notice the brando within seconds of applying
[Desire Accessories] ibbzuk:
Brando Ultra

Read a few forums before plumping for the Brando cover.

AMMAAAZZIIINGG....

Seriously, and no i'm not getting paid for this, i think i paid about £10 for mine though which sounds more than other options.

Very easy to put on, no messy glue or anything, just goes straight on, no problem, easy to adjust/ take off and put back on if you want.

Results

Crystal clear screen straight away, no bubbles, as long as you take a bit of care applying it. Touch screen, barely any difference, still very smooth and responsive and bright!!!

Not sure how to add pictures of my desire with the screen on or else i would have done! I may do once i find sum time to look into it...:)
