Flash Problems with Melkco Leather Case?

I've read there were issues with this case's flash opening with Apple products, has anyone tried it with HTC products?

Anyone know good suppliers of back covers? My back cover camera lens is scratched to hell now.
[Desire Accessories] ringer13:
yep. i've used those on my last few devices...they are essentially the same thing as the invisible shield...although i cant say i've done any extensive testing, i've never had any problems with it
[Desire Accessories] nsx_23:
Ended up getting an invisibleshield, and installed it the other day.

Damn the sides and top piece are difficult to install and I slightly stuffed up the top left corner, and I keep getting a little bit of lint in the edges...

Anyone know of good car mounts with inbuilt FM transmitters? Bluetooth steering wheel mounted controls?

sent from my HTC Desire Android (AuraxTSense custom ROM)
[Desire Accessories] InsolentMinx:
just put on my Brando Ultra Clear screen protector, and Brando silicon skin.

Both are excellent. The screen protector is a little smaller than the screen (unlike the version for the HTC Touch HD), but the edges are hidden by the silicon case anyway.

case feels nice to the touch, and isn't as 'sticky' as cheaper ones i've felt. No issues getting phone out of pockets.
[Desire Accessories] shnizlon:
Nice case :p
[Desire Accessories] xgrind:
Got myself the Capdase Armor Case. Great build quality with aluminum back
[Desire Accessories] DroidBois:
How much are you guys paying for these cases? Anyone heard of good car mounts yet??

Case mate tough pics

Thought i'd contribute some pics of the case mate tough I recently purchased from www.play.com for £15. My phones also got a zagg invisible shield screen protector on aswell.
[Desire Accessories] eozen81:
Hey man, what about this accessories? You forgot us :)
[Desire Accessories] Dave G:
yeah I've got one, its not HTC and its naff. It will fit but its not phone specific and its it no way rigid
[Desire Accessories] Dave G:
got my vituki screen protector today, utter junk. Its just a rectangle, no cut outs or sculpting at all. Plus it was bent in half in the post so theres no way its going to go on flat. £8 in the bin

On the plus side I got the Mofi case today and that seems very good
[Desire Accessories] evildead4eva:
Got my screen protector today and it fits ok. Just covers the screen though, only the viewable part, the rest is left uncovered. Hope that a Zagg skin comes out soon :(

Alternatively the mofi arrived today as well and its massive. Much bigger than i was expecting. Also my phone feels quite loose inside. Reminds me more of a ladies purse than anything. Think ill just keep it in my pocket with a screen protector on and hope for the best. Its been fine the past few days without a screen protector juts in my pocket....
[Desire Accessories] str355:
cheers, i think i'll give it a miss, lol
[Desire Accessories] Ghisy:
@evildead4eva, where did you get yours?
[Desire Accessories] saquib:
I bought some screen protectors from a ebay seller dcmugen88 for my Nexus One. Very similar to Martin Shields, easy to apply and can be removed/washed as required. Cheap too :-)

Just got them in for the Desire:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300413198637

Ordered :-)
[Desire Accessories] who_me:
Hi all, I'm after a privacy screen protector for this phone (I know I know it's hard enough finding a decent regular screen protector for it!). Did a quick search and it came up with one by Case-Mate - at fommy.co.uk. Although from the looks of things its a universal one that fits most retangular screens...anyone else have any other recommendations? At the end of the day as long as I have a screen protector on it that's the important bit.
[Desire Accessories] evildead4eva:
I got mine from the amazon link posted here. Personally I dont think Ill use the mofi case. I really aint liking the thought of carrying that round with me every where i go. Will use my iphone sock instead.
[Desire Accessories] jpopgt:
Cheers for the link!

Just ordered myself.
[Desire Accessories] jah:
For peeps in the UK Vodafone shops sell a large slip case that fits the Desire perfectly.
[Desire Accessories] Bandare:
£17.99 on play.com for a battery and free delivery!
[Desire Accessories] Ghisy:
Just reporting that I got the right screen protectors (they appear to be as I don't have the phone yet to check the size) from Ebay. The seller previously sent me ones that were too small and they sent the right ones again, free of charge.

They were 5 euros for 6 of them. Will also report the quality when I get my phone (sometime next week).
[Desire Accessories] Karolis:
Got my mofi case today. I must say I'm quite impressed. The quality of it surpasses the price. It looks nice and the phone fits-in perfectly. The only thing I don't like is the "locking" bubble - I'm probably getting rid of it completely.
[Desire Accessories] nerdo:
Original Screen Protector from HTC

What about the original HTC Desire SP P360 Screen Protector from Clove for

£8.23 (2pcs) ... any one ordered that!?

As for the case I am going to make my own till something decent shows up ;)
[Desire Accessories] RaptorRVL:
What about an el-cheapo neoprene pouch?:

http://cgi.ebay.nl/OEM-Flexible-Neo...sesPouches?hash=item5ad7a718ce#ht_1282wt_1027

I can't live without my cheap HongKong neoprene pouches anymore :D
[Desire Accessories] rahadza:
How do you know it will fit? The desire is a slightly different shape to the Nexus.
[Desire Accessories] Karolis:
That's just a G1 pouch without G1 branding. I've carried my Desire in G1 pouch for a few days and it fits fine.
[Desire Accessories] Hasty:
Hi there,

I have this case and it's ok but not a great fit. It's quite loose and the charger access hole on the bottom just invites dust and lint from your pocket into it.

I will be replacing it with another - as yet undetermined - case when some become available.

On a side note, I have the 12-in-1 Screen Protector kit from Mobilefun. It's not bad but you have to cut it to size. Will be getting either the official HTC protector (the one for the Touch Diamond 2 was brill), or an InvisibleShield (amazing on iPod Touch) once they are released.
[Desire Accessories] n-j-f:
Agree entirely. The case feels nice in the hand. The phone is a little loose in it but that makes it easier to remove the phone quickly when a call comes in. I haven't quite decided about the bubble yet.
[Desire Accessories] n-j-f:
Screen protectors

Got my DuraSec screen protector. The manufacturer sells them on ebay as well as from their own website. Ebay seems to work out slightly cheaper. It arrived from Germany 36 hours after I ordered it. It's a bit more expensive than some of the others but I may still replace it when Brando have theirs.
[Desire Accessories] nsx_23:
What ROM are you running?

I use this: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23565

Nothing fancy but it works. I have a weirdly shaped dashboard though, so I use the airvent mount instead.

And Crash_194, damn that CM case is nice! $40 on ebay though, and I'm not sure my Desire, which has an invisibleshield on it, would fit in...

I got this with my phone:

Good case, but I've ordered one of these from PDair since I'm paranoid as hell about the screen (My phone goes in a bag with keys sometimes):

I'm also noticing some marks on the camera cover too when I got it from its previous owner, so the leather case should help protect it. I'm debating whether to get a new battery cover, but they're pricey.
[Desire Accessories] DroidBois:
No thoughts on car mounts eh? All I can find are those cheap clip secured ones, that I'm not sold on.
[Desire Accessories] pablo.va87:
Anybody knows where I can find HTC Desire Tough Cases from Case-Mate? Is out of stock, and I can't buy it from play.com cause the don't delivery out of UK.

Algo, are other colours for that case like in the N1?

Thanks !
[Desire Accessories] dazzlet:
hi can anybody recomend a good way to protect my screen of my desire?

i had a stick on screen protector thing and it casued problems with the touch screen so i had to remove it and im terrified my screen will get scratched...

thanks
[Desire Accessories] landwomble:
couple of thoughts:

1) the Epik thin cases on eBay are gorgeous. Really pleased with my red one. It's like having a new phone, having got rid of the silicone skin it was in. Not quite as much protection, but the shieldguard stickers on it should keep it in reasonable shape

2) griffin iphone car mounts will fit a desire. They clip in like it was made for it.
[Desire Accessories] dougsdir:
just thought id pop on and recommend these screen protectors.

having tried a few (ones Id bought off amazon and ebay) I could never get them to go on without air bubbles (then id scratch them trying to squeeze out the bubbles)

I was then given a brilliant screen protector by a mate who id noticed had one on his Desire. It comes in 3 parts, you peel off the bottom layer, then drop it down onto your screen, then peel off the top layer and the best thing is they only cost £1.65 for 6 and you get no bubbles at all

[Desire Accessories] anotherdroid:
pics? 10chars.
[Desire Accessories] BashyUK:
Ordered this a couple of days ago from play but they're awaiting delivery. How is it so far? I had 4 of a cheaper plastic 2-piece off Amazon, cost 4 quid each, they looked nice but everytime they had an impact (I have a 19 month old son!) they protectd the phone but in a kamikaze manner, sacrificing themselves! Hope this lasts longer.
[Desire Accessories] nsx_23:
I received my PDair leather case, and it was far too tight a fit....

I think I'm just going to get a $2 silicon skin off dealextreme and call it a day.
[Desire Accessories] crash_194:
LOL i haven't had any impact situations yet but i'm getting along with the case very well. I think it looks cool, does its job well, and the quality and fit is brilliant. Worth every penny i'd say.

I had an otterbox commuter case on my HD2 and although I know this is on a different phone, i definately prefer the capdase case, really does feel like it could take a right good wallop whereas I always thought the Otterbox case would suffer the kamikaze effect lol.
[Desire Accessories] JonesWTF:
I'm currently using this gel case from expansys and have been since about April time i think. It's brilliant! It fits beautifully and still has no signs or wear and tear on it, even though I'm constantly using my phone :)

There is one other thing though. Now, I'm not one to be jealous of iPhone users and as much as I hate iPhones in general, having seen this it makes me crave after a stainless steel or aluminium back cover for my Desire. I've been looking around the net for a while now to no avail. Does anyone know of anywhere that might sell something similar to this?
[Desire Accessories] The Ogre:
I've been through 4 different cases for my Desire but I can thouroughly reccomend the EPIK case's on ebay. Nice tight fit and very hard wearing. Had my blue one (£2.35) for around 3 months now and it's still as good as new.

(The word EPIK doesn't actually appear on the case, it's just their watermarking on the picture)

As a newbie on here I can't post live links but search for this number on ebay; 250631899720

And as Dougsdir has already said these 280508470346 are awesome
[Desire Accessories] anarchy01:
I love the Desire but have been disapointed at the cases for it found it hard to find any I really like I tried the Zagg shield but made the phone look glossy and looked cheap currently using the carbon fibre flip case from expansys it fits ok and protects the whole phone so will stay with this for now.
[Desire Accessories] SMF_12:
I have just purchased this gel case from ebay for £1.49. It should be here in about 2 weeks and ill let you know if its good or not. i decided to go for gel instead of silicone as ive found in the past that silicone cases attract alot of dust.

i will be ordering a zagg invisable shield aswell today. nd possibly a leather flip case so if i decide i wanna change it suddenly then i can lol
[Desire Accessories] SMF_12:
right... just a quick update... i have just orderd this leather flip case, and also this nokia dt-29 stand after i saw my mates one a while back, i thought itd be usefull.

:D
[Desire Accessories] SMF_12:
I orderd the zagg invisible shield from play.com for a total of £14.99
[Desire Accessories] BashyUK:
Received my CM Tough from Play yesterday, v pleased with it. Sturdy, solid, good button use even though vol and power key are covered you can't tell the difference and tested within seconds of being put on by my Son....bounced! No kamikaze action. Lavly.
[Desire Accessories] SMF_12:
the flip case turned up today which was bloody quick, it also came with a screen protector and a cloth, but i havnt fitted it as ill wait for the zagg and fit that.

so for £1.49 itll last for a lil while before it falls apart and then ill probly re-order a new one LOL.

now just waiting on... gel case, zagg invisible shield and nokia dt-29 :D
[Desire Accessories] SMF_12:
The nokia dt-29 turned up either today or yesterday, brilliant lil item, but need cant really use it with the leather flip case. I just hope that my gel case turns up soon enough!!!
[Desire Accessories] nsx_23:
Does anyone have a link for a case which actually protects the camera lens like the otterbox defender?
[Desire Accessories] jerrol:
just ordered this http://www.amazon.co.uk/iTALKonline...7Y/ref=sr_1_26?ie=UTF8&qid=1288550200&sr=8-26 what do you guys think? should get it Monday
[Desire Accessories] BashyUK:
Sorry mate, having bought 4 covers at £4 each, each breaking every time the phone was dropped, I can't help feeling this is more of the same. With cases it seems to be what you pay is what you get. I'd spend a little more and get a better case e.g. CM tough or similar for 15-20 quid.

The review on the site seems to suggest this too.
[Desire Accessories] LBTaylor1984:
i've reviewed the Defender and the Tough in Video reviews, you'll find them on this forum and youtube (lbtaylor1984) make your own mind up ;)
[Desire Accessories] jerrol:
cheers for the reply man, i still haven't received it, but yeah, i was thinking of getting a better one once this one wears out (or breaks haha), i'll see how it goes

[Desire Accessories] papabol:
i have the case mate tough, and its AWESOME! :D
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
I was so impressed with the Case Mate Tough pics that i just had to order it too :D

Seems to offer good all round protection and looks ace.
[Desire Accessories] nsx_23:
2 months later I'm still very happy with mine.
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
There is only one thing i am a little skeptical about with this case and that is the silicone on the top and bottom of the case after the tough case has been applied. Do the top and bottom parts of the silicone case sag or expand over time/heavy usage?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Accessories] papabol:
I am also worrying about that.
[Desire Accessories] enuazeal:
barely there is mutch better :) looks great, and it is so lightweight, u can;t feel it on the phone
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
Leaves the top and bottom exposed tho ;)
[Desire Accessories] whips:
I too have the case mate tough, its awesome, I think it actually makes the phone look and feel better, hard to find a better case for the desire
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
Still waiting on my case... darn weather :-)
[Desire Accessories] BashyUK:
Still v happy with my CM Tough, it's had a few 'bounces' and no marks or any damage. I have a son who is nearly 2 who likes to use it as a hammer when I'm not looking either, just hear the thud and have to rescue it!

As for lag/looseness of the silicone case, no experience of this yet, the hard case tends to keep it all 'tight'. I've taken it out numerous times and no issues.

Highly recommended by me anyway, the barely there ones to me are a bit pointless as they leave the top and bottom uncovered, so not really a case is it? You either want your phone covered or not, if it's covered then expect to notice it and for there to be an increase in size. Otherwise don't use one.
[Desire Accessories] SilverBandit:
I have the Case-Mate "Barely There" and love it - even though the top and bottom are exposed, the phone fits in my desktop charger cradle and phone cradle without having to remove the case. And the supplied screen protector is one of the best I've ever had - feels silky smooth. :)
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
Thanks for the clarification, i feel so much more at ease now :D

EDIT: case arrived today :-) really pleased with the quality, well worth the £15 IMO.
[Desire Accessories] kmetek:
where to get S520 cheapest in UK/DE ?
[Desire Accessories] SMF_12:
just to give everyone a quick update, i purchased a gel case or 2 from this person. I have been very happy with it and the seller was good to deal with.

I have dropped my phone a few times on its back luckily and each time my phone has been fine!!

Im very happy with the £1.49 Gel Case. I will try and get some pics of it up soon!!
[Desire Accessories] Superchasin:
U kind of got the same laptop like me! xD Compaq CQ61 :P but ehm I love that case! :O pretty nice and nice back!

I'm thinking about buying a Case-Mate Barely There Cover for my HTC Desire. The look is pretty decent. But I'm not sure if the cover will scratch the phone on the edges. Any information about that?
[Desire Accessories] enuazeal:
nope. cover fits perfectly, there is nothing to scrach phone. i'm using it for a few months now and everything is fine
[Desire Accessories] modelstudent:
standard G1 case is great for me. Have my desire for about 8 months & not a single scratch on it... got it on ebay
[Desire Accessories] sdup:
I recently bought the "GENUINE HTC DESIRE LCD SCREEN PROTECTOR SP P360" it has great clarity, no bubbles, but it had a hole at led light (top right) and because of that hole, it doesn't stick so well at the surrounding of that point (has air underneath).

Is their any other screen protector that has great clarity, sticks well and has low cost?
[Desire Accessories] YoYoost:
I still like my neoprene case that i got off of eBay for 2$ the best!
[Desire Accessories] pmkrmr:
i've got case-mate barely there. Black version. suits cool on my silver desire. It also lays better in my hand compared to when its case-less. Screenprotector that came with sucks imo, and I dont see why I would need one. Have had the phone in my pockets now for 3 months and not a scratch on it.
[Desire Accessories] smsmasters:
I have a cheap gel type case. Does the job and cheap too off ebay!
[Desire Accessories] cyleo:
I still like my free invisible shield from stealthguard. Had a Zagg before and the difference between the two is negligible
[Desire Accessories] ivantodorov:
I think to order one.

But it easy to press buttons for volume?

Small update to my original post regarding the Otter Box Commuter case.

Its been a great case. Perfect in my line of work. Ive had it on my Desire since day 1. I dropped my phone from +25ft the other day at work. My phone is perfectly fine. The case on the other hand didnt make out so well. It cracked pretty much in half. So I sent Otter Box an email. First of all I thanked them for making a great product and told them what had happened. Without having to provide them proof of purchase they told me they were going to send me a replacement case no questions asked. That is service!
[Desire Accessories] sc_pape:
UPDATE:

Received it way faster then they said it would take and they sent me the Defender!
[Desire Accessories] bw7and:
looks like a good case
[Desire Accessories] lawrrtan:
how long would be the delivery? Im from Philippines. Thank you
[Desire Accessories] JxXxn:
anyone has bought totally transparent gel case..looking ard ebay but not fully transparent ones..
[Desire Accessories] kibbotz:
Im also interested, how long will it be if delivered to philippines?
[Desire Accessories] welshbloke70:
They obviously thought you needed the extra protection if your going to carry on dropping your phone 25ft. :p

I've got a defender case its a bit bulky but really good.

Mind you if the commuter protected your phone after that drop I might look into one of those as well.
[Desire Accessories] bunnybash:
I have used several screen protectors on my Desire - the first one was the Zagg screen, which protected well but felt terrible to touch and created too much friction if you tried to slide your finger across it... I was able to endure the screen because of the high level of protection provided by the Zagg.

Then I went for a cheap ebay screen protector - forget it, terrible, wrong shape, distorted the colours and was generally annoying... I was only able to use this till my next protector arrived in the mail.

The next screen protector I have tried seems to be a winner... BRANDO... this suckers are for real... the protector actually feels better than glass for sliding and installing it was so so so easy (compared to the Zaggshield). The colours display properly and best of all you cannot even really notice that there is a screen protector in place...

In my opinion the Brando screen protector is the king of screen protectors... love it, and I got one for my wife too, her Zaggshield one was looking pretty bad, and even developing a yellow tinge on the edge. I installed the Brando screen protector and didn't tell her, the next morning I got a worried call from her, she thought her phone was unprotected because in her mind there was no screen protector on any more... She could not tell that the Brando was even installed - if you ask me, that makes the Brando a perfect screen protector!!!

I have one Case-Mate Tough witch is fabulous and for screen i use for now Phonix Screen Protector.
[Desire Accessories] akiraceo:
Are there any good - looking covers for desire? :)
[Desire Accessories] FlareHeart:
I have also tried the Zagg and didn't like it at all. The one I switched to was called Vikuiti (made by 3M in Germany) and I feel the same was about it as you do about the BRANDO. It lines up with the edges perfectly, is crystal clear, lovely to touch and drag on. If I ever have an issue with my Vikuiti (not expecting to but..) I will definitely give the BRANDO a try if the need arises.
[Desire Accessories] rmg2:

Try Case-Mate Tough, for me is a good-looking case, just search on google and see the comments.
