Honestly , with the cell phone case options

Honestly , how long does it take for companies to produce a slim case that fully protects the hd2 tmous and looks good. Nobody wants a stupid "gummy" hot pink case for a phone they spent over $400 on . This phone came with Transformers on it not Hello Kitty. TMobile has a decent TPU case but it is pink, for those of you who are not aware. YOu have to realize that we have the nicest cell phone that has ever been produced but all we have are ugly cases or cases that almost fit. !!! . Also I am tired of being only stuck with a plastic body glove case as my only option. The thing is like $20 for clear plastic. How about one made of titanium or carbon fiber. Just a suggestion for manufactures, if they make a decent case that fits properly than I don't mind spending money. Also, can I just say why in hades would anyone want a case that makes the phone substantially thicker. If you don't care how thick the phone is you should have gotten a phone made in 1992. It would have been a lot cheaper. Hey I have an ideal why don't I just mount the phone in a cinder block that way if I drop it , it will be protected :(
[HD2 Accessories] llid:
One other thing

Is it just me or is it totally ridiculous that some of these cases do not protect the camera lens on the back. If I look at the back of the cell phone , what is going to be the most expensive thing to replace, the battery cover or the camera? Otherwise , why would any one want to buy a case for their phone, just so they can have pristine corners and battery cover? Is it just me or do case manufactures seem not to know which way is up. The more I think about it the more frustrated I get. By the way I am glad otterbox is making a case for the phone but I would like to have it now instead of trying to carry my phone around on a pillow so it doesn't get scratched. I hate having to constantly think about how to keep my phone from getting scratched up. I almost rather not have it if I have to be so careful with it.
[HD2 Accessories] Gman65:
Got the 2 cases in and so far so good, here's a few pics as requested.
[HD2 Accessories] makind1:
Thank you for pictures. Are you able also to fit your HD2 with clear case into it? Or its to slim.
[HD2 Accessories] Gman65:
Too tight for now, but I am sure overtime it will loosen up. It can slide in about a 3rd of the way in the body glove clear case.

Edit: You are welcome
[HD2 Accessories] bogdatov:
I use this combo

Hard cover case

+

Soft case
[HD2 Accessories] makind1:
That case doesn’t cover bottom part. I was thinking about this case

but than I saw some youtube videos and that case seams to be very thick and add too much in size. So I will probably go for silicon case

+ some leather horizontal (easier to remove the phone) case

01 02 03

I need silicon case as protection only for dropping. I will have bodyguardz full body shield.
[HD2 Accessories] bogdatov:
Yes, it does not cover top/bottom. I wish it did. But most of silicone/gel/TPU cases are either too thick to be inserted into PDAir case or too "sticky".
[HD2 Accessories] jordinho:
gman65 thanks for the pics, was wondering if you still have the tmo included case? if you do, anyway you can try if it fits? ty in advance

Yoobao Case w/ mod

Well I'm back. I got the case a little while ago, but haven't been able to get the time to get everything together.

Krusell Leather Belt Clip

Good quality, nice clip (not metal). Supposedly on their site they say that the plastic is specially made to be really durable and unbreakable. I do not like that dual release clips on the side, but it's there so I don't accidently unclip the phone while sitting down.

Yoobao Leather Case for HD2

Seems like a good quality product. I don't know much about 100% leather or different types. The case has a smell to it, but not plasticky. {and not so much after a few days} They say it's leather on their site.

The magnetic snaps snap nicely. The inside is sturdy yet soft. This case doesn't have slots for memory card or credit cards, but I didn't want them anyway. (Possibility of scratching?) The only problem with this case is that it needs a belt clip.

Solution: Combine them.

First I must say I was an idiot. The Krussel Leather Belt Clip doesn't rachet. (Doesn't hold the phone at whatever angle you want) Knowing this I thought to myself that I would install the holder at off center and with the bottom facing east. IDIOT!! It didn't make a difference. (well unless I put it more off center, but once it's on and dried it's done)

Regardless of my failure, it still works and was sturdy. I used gorilla epoxy (not the wood only one, but the one that adheres to metals and can sustain impacts) to glue the knob to the leather.

See the pictures and make your decisions.
[HD2 Accessories] cr2069:
I have to agree with you! Just got mine and I am very satisfied.

1. Fits TMobile HD2 oerfectly

2. Very good quality

3. Very secure and solid

4. Easy to carry and use

5. Good price

......
[HD2 Accessories] horrorview:
Yeah, I decided I hated the case and now it's just sitting on the shelf gathering dust. I'll stick the phone in it when I mow the lawn or something, but, most of the time, I just stick it in my pocket "nude". I'm thinking of getting that Yoobao or whatever the hell it's called!
[HD2 Accessories] kwill:
Has anyone tried this case http://www.wirelessground.com/thd2cndblue.html or any of the other cases on their site? I think the candy skins could be great, but really would prefer the volume buttons to not be covered up.
[HD2 Accessories] mutantblack:
that's what I am wondering too. I really want one of those tpu case but some say it fits some say it doesn't. Wish somebody come up with some pics or something would be awesome.
[HD2 Accessories] ph1zy:
I have one on mine and it almost fits perfectly. It's a bit tight and the mic opening on the bottem doesn't exactly lineup -- a few millimeters off.
[HD2 Accessories] stim141:
Does the Yoobao case fit the TMO HD2 perfectly? Whenever you try contacting these case or screen protector companies they all say their stuff fits - but when you press HD2 vs TMOBILE HD2 they don't seem to have a clue. Even finding a full screen reusable screen protector is difficult.

Best TPU Case for T Mob HD2 by Naked Cell phone

I just got the best TPU case out for this on ebay from Naked Cell Phone today. Fit's super tight and it's perfect. Filled in, in the back around the camera, LED and speaker. It totally protects the camera. Super nice and only 9.99! It's literally perfect and they have some good color options. I got black. check it.

[HD2 Accessories] ikoiko:
I purchased this case the fit is a little on the snug side but after some use it should wear in perfectly. And you cant beat the price. Be advised your HD2 will not fit in this case with the rubber case it came with. This case will accomadate only the phone with no case. I use it when I am not at work. When I am at work i keep my phone in my shirt pocket so that I dont destroy it. Link wont paste its e-bay number 130379686975

Please post some pics
[HD2 Accessories] resque2:
Is there a problem in size as T-Mobile HD2 is slightly bigger than regular HD2?

Please post some pictures.
[HD2 Accessories] nuron:
Does it slide in and out of your pocket smoothly and not grip like the stock silicone case? How did you get the middle back part glossy?
[HD2 Accessories] dimushor:
i checked the link, and there is no picture like yours!!
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
The Vaja case fits the T-Mo US HD2? Does it still close properly? Looking at the Vaja Case pictures, it looked like it closed by snapping over the top, but with the size difference, I didn't think it would work. Also, the camera hole seemed exactly cut on the vaja, and I know the Tmous HD2s camera is slightly higher up than the euro version because I have the noreve case, which is made for the euro hd2, and my hd2s camera just barely fits through the top edge of the cutout. Please post some detailed pics and describe any problems with the fit. I'd love a vaja case for my hd2, but they had told me there not making one for the tmous HD2.
[HD2 Accessories] R32_Rocky:
I wisj first off, that there would be made 2 different posts. Pne for SKINS, and one for actual "cases", or holsters for some. But these are two totally different items and can cause a lot of confusion.

I too was on the hunt for the perfect HD2 case. I originally wanted o.e where I could have kept the provided HTC rubber skin still on the phone. But alas, nothing I found would allow this.

But on the bright side, I found the Nite-Ize brown suede side case (sold both at ppcgeeks and wmexperts) to work quite well! And as I love brown or tan colors a lot, I fell in love with this case upon first use. Just go to the online store at either forum, and you can see the pics.
[HD2 Accessories] makind1:
You talking about this case and Tmo HD2 with gel/silicon case?
[HD2 Accessories] R32_Rocky:
Yes, that case will fit my TMOUS HD2, but not with any "skins" on it. It is a slightly tight fit, up against the stretch bands, but I like the snug fit and it keeps it a slim profile. I have used it for a week now, and very satisfied with it. With the velcro flap, there are no magnets to worry about either.
[HD2 Accessories] nuron:
Hmm, I might get this case:

http://www.wirelessground.com/hd2sbblack.html

Looks glossy and covers the camera edges. I emailed them to see if it's made like the new TPU cases and if it will be hard to take the out of our pockets like the stock silicone case.
[HD2 Accessories] eenbox:
I got my fingers crossed - I just got exaclty the same one from Ebay... I already have Smoke Gray Hard Gel Crystal Case that I got initialy (the one with the bottom being liiiitle bit long). It worked fine but now side of it is loosing it's grip and definitely need replacement - wasted $15 for lousy quality...
[HD2 Accessories] R32_Rocky:
I just bought that Rocketfish side case from Best Buy mentioned earlier. I CAN confirm that it will not only fit the TMOUS HD2 fine, but it will also fit the HD2 with the oem silicon skin as well as that Body Glove clear shell with the kickstand! So it should even fit the shell mentioned above too. My only gripe is that I wish it came in a brown/tan as well.
[HD2 Accessories] agentaaron:
I got this exact case...the fit is super snug. I even had to remove the back part of my phantomskin to get it to fit right.

I am thinking of taking a dremel to my dock so I wont have to remove the case to make it fit...I use my dock at work so I will not know till tomorrow if it fits or not...im guessing it wont.
[HD2 Accessories] nuron:
Is it easy to take it in and out of your pocket? The stock silicone case grips way too much.
[HD2 Accessories] agentaaron:
yes...it is easy to take in and out. The top and bottom are a mat finish but not sticky like silicone. The shiny middle part does pick up finger prints, but there is no lint with this case.
[HD2 Accessories] hensond67:
Are there any other leather pouches, other than the best buy one, that will fit an HD2 that already has a body glove case on it?
[HD2 Accessories] Sebsey:
Why is this thread still in the regular HD2 area???

Would please an admin take care of that!!!!??
[HD2 Accessories] DrewVL:
Hi I really like this case where about i can order one? Also does the case rise abit enough to protect the camera? i means the surround bulk abit so when i place my fone on the desk the camera wont sit on the surface?

Thanks,

Drew
[HD2 Accessories] ph1zy:
I purchased it from daydeal.com. The case does protect the camera. The moldings around the camera on the case has a little rise to it so the lens won't be laying flat against anything if you lay it down.
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
I still would like to know if the Vaja case fits the T-Mo US HD2 and how well it actually fits. Anyone with the vaja case that is using it with a T-Mo US HD2, can you please post some pics or at least describe any problems with the fit.
[HD2 Accessories] DrewVL:
Thanks for your reply :) i think ill get the smoke dark grey one :D
[HD2 Accessories] nonpaq:
I got this case the first day i got my TMOUS HD2. Its a good fit on naked HD2, and very tight with the the black Gel Skin (mostly because of the rubber grips the felt inside) Unlike some leather holster-type cases that have elastic bands on the sides, this one has wrap-around leather bands which offer very little stretch for a secure hold. This also used magnetic latches for the lid.

One problem I have with this case is that it is impossible to plug a headphone while in the case. So what I did was cut a "V" shape on one side to allow me to put in/pull out the HD2 while headphones are attached. Not pretty, but it works. (Temp solution until better TMOUS HD2 cases appear.)
[HD2 Accessories] joebob1:
the skin looks really good, can you tell me where you got yours? is clear or smoke?

need holster

So is there a verdict for the best holster “with belt clip” available…? I purchased the leather case shown in the first page of this post and am not found of it… yes the belt clip is meddle however, the magnet seams weak and in fact… it dropped my phone…. Still looking for a good solution….
[HD2 Accessories] a_ok2me:
This is true. I just received a case with a magnet lock and you can't use the compass with it. G-sensor doesn't seem to be affected by it.

T-Mobile Napa Leather Horizontal Pouch - 31526TMR (OEM) Original

I bought this case from the local T-mobile retail store for $24.99. It is for a G1. My HD2, with the gel cover that came with it, fit a little snug. Took the gel cover off and it slides right in. No magnet, uses snaps and the cover can still snap shut with the HD2 in the case. I like it.

I can't post links.
[HD2 Accessories] Stephie Baby:
I'm having a hard time finding cases for my HD2. I purchased one from the Tmobile store, but like others have said, it doesnt cover the camera at all. I was previously using an Iphone and the Incase covers are amazing. Does anyone know of any kind of case that is similar to the Incase?
[HD2 Accessories] HyperNode:
K at this point its just bugging me, WTF is up with all these comp making all these panzy girly looking case. At this point I am using the Body Glove from TMobile and Vikuiti DQC-160 screen protector. My question is does anyone know or have any H/V flip belt hostler that will fit the TmoHD2 w/Body Glove?

PS: Don't even get me started about the POS that goes by InvisibleSheild fullbody. So trust me when I say this its not indestructible lol within 12-13hours of installing it I manage to put a hole in it and yes I do mean a hole in it as I found out few hours later I wasted my time trying to intall just to find out it had some single very small dust particle. So I removed it and threw it out same day in the garbage.
[HD2 Accessories] preslove:
So, what do you people with vertical flip cases do when you want to use the camera? Hold the flap open with your other hand? Take the camera out of the case? Not use it?
[HD2 Accessories] nuron:
Well, I bought this case and I'm not liking it :rolleyes:. I have a Bodyguardz full coverage set on my phone and I couldn't even get the thing in the case, even trying with different angles of approach :p. Plus, it was chipping and lifting away at my clear protector and now the corners look like crap. Even though I have NRG's ROMs on my phone, I still often have to take out the battery and reset because of freezes so this will just make it harder. Oh well, the search goes on.

Hard case with belt clip holster

I cant for the life of me find a hard case with a belt clip holster.

I have the seido innocase surface combo for my nexus one, does anything like this even exist for the HD2? i can find holsters that leave the phone exposed but thats all.
[HD2 Accessories] rhacy:
The OtterBox Defender Case has been the only case that comes with a holster for the HD2. Well, at least from what I've be able to find to date. That said, the Defender is a good case, but too large for my everyday use and taste.

In regard to Seidio, it really is disappointing that they never released an Innocase - Holster combo for the HD2. I have used the combo for years with the Diamond, TP1, TP2, and iPhones. Unfortunately, the TP2 front Innocase cover is flawed and breaks at the left front corner after a few months of use, d'oh! Anyway, if you do not mind the extra bulk, check out the Defender. You can pick one up new on ebay for $31~$35 US shipped at this time. That said, I normally just use a naked Evo Seidio Holster for the HD2, as it's solid and works well.

Best to all,

R
[HD2 Accessories] dmeister3787:
I am loving my Otterbox Defender case. Size-wise, for me, is similar to gel case that came with it. It does add a bit more weight, but I don't really notice. Screen protector is built-in, which for me is ok as long as it stays scratch free.
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
You might want to remove the screen protector and just use a film protector for the screen. Much more responsive screen. The built on protector eventually had this little warped section on mine.
[HD2 Accessories] rhacy:
I did not run into any screen response issues with the built-in OtterBox screen protector. Nonetheless, I did remove it after a month or so, as it was far from optimal as screen protector. This was due to it not being as crystal clear or as easy to keep clean as a good quality film screen protector. Plus it was pain to keep it dust free on the underside (next to the HD2 glass screen). That said, the Defender and it's Holster have worked well here when out in rough field environments. Although, like mentioned in a previous post, I prefer the naked Seidio EVO Clip Holster for daily use in gentle locations, such as the office, at home, or while driving around. Guess I just like the smaller form factor as well as the look and feel of the HD2 in all its naked glory, lol...

Best to all,

R
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
I have to admit that I seem to go through screen protectors pretty quickly. I prefer the matte films because they reflect less glare in daylight, but the matte layer seems to wear off with heavy use.

Oh, from your avatar, I can see we're using the same splash screen :D

Otter HTC HD2 Commuter

I'm excited to say I just picked up an T9193 (for Rogers in Canada) and so now the task is to get a case and screen protection. I'd love a gel, but I think I might be doing the card switch thing on occasion (developer) so the case has to allow access for that. One case that I was thinking of was the Otter Commuter (I tend to carry my devices in a pocket) so the Defender is more protection then I want or need. Any comments concerning the Commuter or suggestions for a case or screen protection?

Thanks
[HD2 Accessories] Emil-Ghoting:
i've found that I had to replace and also reset them pretty often. When coupled with a hard case, the edges of the protector often bend up if you don't have it set perfectly.
[HD2 Accessories] g.sembhi:
dont get this case, its gonna put scratches on the sides
[HD2 Accessories] imperfection:
Just a heads up guys, if your local T-Mo store still has HD2 cases, you can get them really cheap. My local store had the purple Incase style case, the black silicone skin, and the clear Body Glove case left all for $6.99. I picked up the purple one, it's just as good quality as an Incase case and you can't beat the price.

Does anyone have any data for SetCPU on the Magic? I have a MyTouch Fender and it's really impossible for me to tell if and how much SetCPU makes a difference in terms of speed and battery life -- I wondered if a few people wanted to set up some tests to pool data about the best price/performance ratio? e.g. the optimal point for setcpu and battery life performance.

Otherwise, Enjoy!! :D
