As I bought my Desire on the day of release there weren't many cases (read: no cases) available. After some looking around on Amazon I found this Nexus One case that fits pretty well. If anything it probably covers up the speak a fraction, though it's still more than audible. Oh, and it has a hole cut for the Nexus' second mic :)

This is the UK Amazon page:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/EMARTBUY-GO...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275044482&sr=8-1

For £2 I really can't complain

Is cheap really any good

Guys, I am seeing lots of cheap reasonable case and LCD Screens on ebay and amazon, question I have seeming as a lot of people have bought these is are they any good - or is it worth while spending a bit more for better quality?

thanks
[Desire Accessories] satnile:
I bought this case and a screen protector from the same seller, they are very good:

Are the gel / silicon protector any good - for my HD i had the original suede pouches and they were good all around, still undecided between same again, silicon or leather...

Can highly recommend this HTC Pull Case. It's a tight fit at first but settles nicely.
[Desire Accessories] sun_man:
just ordered a screen protector and silicon case from ebay - will just wait to see how good / bad it turns out to be.

thanks
[Desire Accessories] jimlad:
I have a cheap copy of that, very good they are too.
[Desire Accessories] francist:
which is better: rubberized hard plastic or soft plastic gel

what are the pros & cons of each? sorry, but just have to ask..
[Desire Accessories] joakimrendlert:
My 2 cents on Screen protectors.

I tried using Copter, that sucked...too thick and the surface is very rubbery. Device got bad response and the feeling of getting stuck with the fingers on the rubber felt bad.

Now I got the iZound, this was cheaper and soooo much better. Easy to apply, no reduction in response and it is glossy, you can hardly tell it's on.

I got soo disapointed with Copter, but it doesn't matter now that I got iZound :)

Anyone know if there are similar flip covers like the OPT for iphones, but for desires?

I bought a Piel Frama for my Desire - direct from Piel Frama's web site (I had one for my Omnia in the past). It's a good leather case, offers full protection and a belt clip (you can take this off if you don't use it) ... and more importantly, it lets you connect headphones while the case is closed or clipped to belt.

The down side; they're pricey :-(

I'm really happy with mine, check them out: -

Piel Frama Cases

Received my Piel Frama case direct order from their website in Spain today.

Black&Tan cowhide . Excellent fit and protection, very well made all cutouts in right places. Comes with removeable belt clip. Highly recommended. Snap fitting no magnets, can easily operate screen, buttons when flipped open. When closed very slim and all sides, top and bottom protected. Also if you state you are a member of this or Blackberry forums in their order comments box you will get a 10 euro discount upon request.
[Desire Accessories] kmetek:
where to buy a copy of this?
[Desire Accessories] ugmeme123:
putting invisibile shield will make the teflon like back case shiny right? :(

there is this thing called bodyguardz its like invisible shield but cheaper and almost the same sh*t.
[Desire Accessories] jonmall1441:
Just ruined a brando screen protector but at least my dad was kind enough to give me his and managed to put it on properly this time, just an air bubble off-screen. I have to say this is amazing barley noticeable and I say nearly because you can see the edge of the protector. No effect whatsoever on the screen's quality. Amazed by how good it is.

I used my friend's HD2 with a zagg on it and after a couple months it seems to have gone really sticky.

The brando is sticky for around five minutes after applying it and now it's as smooth as the screen if not slightly easier to glide over when using swype.

Highly recommended! :)

I checked out a few of these gel-type cases today over the weekend. One was exactly like the one in your "pic 2".

Although they look good, the one thing i noted was just how awkward they were to put on and remove. A guy at one store literally had to force one on my phone when I asked to see how it fitted.

How warm does the phone get with this on when charging etc..
[Desire Accessories] matt246:
Dude that case rules... wish I could get one of them in NZ. Also nice Studio XPS poking out there ;)

Also I just chucked a MOMAX Screen Pro on, went on first time, no bubbles, I can honestly say I cannot tell it's there... and I am super picky

Ebay Case/Skin

Hi - just received my case today and absolutely delighted:) Fits perfect, came with a screen protector, and very cheap (under £3 delivered). Note that the case itself does not cover the screen in any way.

Hello, can someone tell me if those cases from ultra-case are working for desire?

Thanks
[Desire Accessories] GutterClown:
So has anyone found a car mount that works well with TPU cases?

I do a fair bit of driving during the day, then slip the phone in my pouch while working on site. bit of a pain not being able to really use it in the vehicle.

I like the look of the mount robbiekhan found on page 43, but I'm fairly certain they won't work with TPU cases.

Anyone have any experience?
[Desire Accessories] siscopiso:
Hey guys,

I managed to scratch my Desire screen, how I dunno!I almost cried :( (ok maybe not but I was really sad) I 'm the most careful guy I knw, I dont even put a piece of paper on it! anyways , DO get screen protection, after I found the scratch I went n bought screen protectors on the Swedish ebay for about 2 Euros,,,they dont even have a brand and they work (feel)just fine, hopefully theyll provide some reasonable protection!
[Desire Accessories] Mikeyy:
Bought PDair leather pouch for Desire and it's good. It's tight, was hard to pull phone out of it first day or two, now it's fine.

My recomendation.
[Desire Accessories] robbiekhan:
I just received this case from eBay, very good quality actually and I think it may just replace my day to day usage of the Android pouch (will leave that in the car!).

It seems to protect the Desire quite well and the finish is the same as the Desire itself but I don't know how long the rubberise finish will last as it's quite slim.

[Desire Accessories] ahbao:
it's quite good for its price but I think the camera is not well protected as the one by case mate
[Desire Accessories] Sally Mack:
has anyone tried the capdase polimor bold case for the desire yet? It has a cardholder in the back, and I was just wondering if anyone knows how many cards it can hold (for now I'll assume 1, but you never know). Check it out here: capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=994&pid=6889

[Desire Accessories] chichoko:
Just bought one cheap screen protector from a store here in Greece.. While it was easy to put on, it makes the screen look blury as if it has water on it.. Totaly unsatisfied with it on that aspect.. It claims to protect the screen from scratches and make it visible on direct sunlight.. so i guess thats why it looks like its wet, because of the method they use to make the screen visible on high sunlight..

Anyone can suggest a good screen protector which doesnt affect the screen visibility at all? Anyone tried the one on this post from Play.com ?
[Desire Accessories] muhid:
Very good quality screen protector

Type this in Ebay '7 x HTC Desire LCD screen protectors'. For £1.99 it is Excellent. The application is very good. You get two cotton cloths to wipe the screen and also for each screen protector there are two layers one on each side to take off after you applied the protector. I think it is brilliant and you cannot tell if you have applied it as it looks like the screen, very thin. I tried taking one off because i applied it wrong and chipped my finger nails trying to do so because that is how solid the protector is.
[Desire Accessories] chichoko:
Hmm will order them asap! I cant stand the one im using right now.. and for £1.99 its very cheap.. i paid €7 for mine >.< Thanks for the info mate! Appreciated!
[Desire Accessories] Hyonic:
You probably got a Matte screen protector instead. Look out for "Clear" screen protector before buying next time :)
[Desire Accessories] Hyonic:
I brought this, quality is ok, but like all matte screen protector, it causes "rainbow" effect on it. I'd rather you get the clear protector from him instead :o
[Desire Accessories] syfo:
What about the torque case from casemate, is it too bulky?
[Desire Accessories] shnizlon:
No . I really love this case !
[Desire Accessories] petermgates:
I got one of these from mobilefun and I'm really happy. It adds a fair bit of bulk but feels good in the hand and there's no danger of it ever slipping out of your pocket.

I also picked up a twin pack of Martin Fields screen protectors. They feel good, no noticeable loss in screen sensitivity or clarity despite feeling thicker than your average film protector.

Funny thing is that after about a week, a strange scorch mark appeared in the centre of the screen. I panicked, thinking that my lovely new phone was damaged but it seems to be the coating on the film that has been marked. I put the second one on and the same thing happened after a week. You can't see the mark when the screen is bright but it's quite obvious when dark colours are displayed.

Waiting for customer services to get back to me...
[Desire Accessories] dchick:
torque case by Casemate

Bought myself one of these after I dropped my precious Desire after taking it out of its Valenta case ( did you know the Desire can actually bounce? ) That nearly caused me to have a cardiac arrest.

I had been looking on the internet for a suitable case but cases for the Desire are few and far between. For my previous phone ( Iphone 3G ) I had a Defender case from Otterbox which I really liked eventhough it added quite a bit of bulk so I was looking for something like it.

None of the available skins/cases looked like they would last or looked like they were made from cheap stuff that will pick up a lot of lint. Then I came across Casemate. Wasn't too sure about the Barely There case so in the end I decided to go for the Torque case and I ordered that on Amazon.co.uk

It comes with a screenprotector as well but I haven't put it on. The case itself has a nice feel, fits nice and tight. Doesn't pick up a lot of dust like the cheap ones will do. Yes it does add bulk. I've dropped my phone on the ground from a meter high with the case on and it's perfectly fine. I think you would be pretty unlucky to damage it with this case on. It will protect the phone from accidental drops and that's what I was looking for. If you want MAJOR protection ( for the screen as well ) something from Otterbox might be better but that will add a lot of bulk.

All in all, I'm quite content with this case.
[Desire Accessories] HighSnobility:
Supposedly this Pocket Phone Case from Hardgraft fits the HTC Desire if you select iPhone 3GS option. I ordered one will post some pictures when it arrives, a bit pricey but looks dope.

got a Valenta leather pouch for iPhone... fits perfectly!

I like the inward stitching, this makes the pouch really snug and doesn't add any wideness... pull-strap is real handy too!
[Desire Accessories] Petesky:
Much obliged m8
[Desire Accessories] hyukei:
Just dropped by phone for the first time today.... it slipped out of my G1 Pouch im using while the pouch I order is on the way.

got a tiny scratch on the front of the casing which is luckily hard to see if you doesnt know what to look for....

using a 'too-big' pouch might just be bad if you're careless with it ><

Stealth gurad is giving away free stuff. Only have to pay for sshipping. Go check it out.

I also have a Case-Mate Barely There. Awesome case! Very minimal so keeps the sleek lines of the Desire and provides protection without making it bulky...
[Desire Accessories] thongster27:
Just ordered mine for stealthguard last night and thought to share it with u guys since its free. Once i get it and have it actually stuck on i will post a review of it.

Ordered one too and it really is free ! :)
[Desire Accessories] jak3z:
Can you get some more pics with the phone inside please? :eek:
[Desire Accessories] Janesy B:
I havent read through all of the thread but the Martin Fields screen protector is by far the best. Optically it is perfect and as it's rigid, fitment is very easy and fit you get it wrong you can wash and reapply. Beats the **** out of the Zagg rubbish put out.
[Desire Accessories] Bouncer5:
I picked up a new silicon gel case which apprently is for the Desire, seems a better fit than the Nexus one gel case I had, Also my old one was starting to become loose, Due to me removing it on a daily basis, Lets not do that this time!

Rather large picture im afraid.

Picked up from a street stall.

Dock with second battery charger, spare battery, screen protector and a "leather" pouch case, 23 Euros and free shipping to spain.

I contacted them, and yes, the shipping was free to spain so I ordered one, I'll report back when I get it.

i'm using the slightly bulkier tpu case with a car holder meant for the desire with no case. i simply heated it up until it was hot but not melting and gently opened up the wrap around jaws to accept the slightly thick case. slips in and out lovely now and have even removed the safety top spring clip . there is no way its falling out even upside down but isn't overly tight its a struggle to remove when leaving the car

Good hard case

I am looking for good hard case, I really like this one for iphone: SwitchEasy CapsuleNeo. But it doesn't matter, I preffer good quality.

I tried leather pouch case and sillicon case and both are looking ugly and cheap after using it while. The sillicon is too thick and after three months is quite stretched.

Thanks for advice :)

a perfect case for my device

I received my order from Pdair today and I really like it. So cool and a perfect fit ~

I dun know why I could not post a link or pic :(. Anyway, you can find it on their website in case you want to have a look. :p
[Desire Accessories] Petesky:
Have you received this yet , whats your opinion
[Desire Accessories] bbor005:
Thanks for the heads-up, just ordered one!!
[Desire Accessories] Latty:
I got the same one. It's very slim and form fitted, but my only beef with it is that it doesn't cover the front side (no extra lip of plastic; almost flush with the screen), and the bottom (the angled bottom of the phone sticks out.

Definitely worth the $5 or whatever I spent though. You can find it here:

[Desire Accessories] jak3z:
Still waiting :mad:
[Desire Accessories] MattSid:
I bought the same one from ebay, but from another dealer.

Pro:

Really nice and slim design

Low weight

Good grip

Cons:

Doesn't fully protect the lower and the upper sides, if it fall down it's still vulnerable

The plastic seems to hard for absorb at the best the hurts

It's slightly difficult to press the volume buttons

Easy fingerprints leaves

Quality of assemblage, maybe I was unlucky but the mine isn't perfect (I hope that I could change it with a good one)
[Desire Accessories] Mikroft:
I have a similar case made by CaseMate. CaseMate Barely there case is like the one above but covers a bit more of the top and bottom. The quality of the plastics is also exceptional.
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
I have the same case from eBay shown in the pics above. Like many, I just wish it covered the top and bottom sides properly.

Makes you wonder why the manufacturers of this case left the top and bottom sides bare... maybe because if they had added a top and bottom to the plastic moulding, then it would be impossible to insert/remove the phone from the case as the plastic is hard and not flexible??
[Desire Accessories] shoemeistah:
I have the HTC Desire Muvit Minigel Case Black just one day now.

But it looks pretty nice and doesn't make it much bigger.

The phone sits pretty well in it and it's easy to get it in/out of the case.
[Desire Accessories] marianne18:
Same question here
[Desire Accessories] shoemeistah:
That would be the most obvious reason. Because if you would connect the two sides it wouldn't be flexible enough to insert your phone. That's why I've bought a gel case. And it covers every side and a little on the top too so it also prevents from dust entering behind the screen which is a known problem of the HTC Desire.
[Desire Accessories] marianne18:
Haha, that might be the reason. Now I really feel I was so wise to choose an alumium metal one, so convinient to use. :D

If you're seriously in need of extra power and you're going to be away from a powersource for a long while then check these guys out.

Especially the MBP-222 model, which claims to have enough juice to recharge an iPhone more than 52 times. (I'm assuming that iPhones and the Desire have a somewhat similar battery.)

I'm adding the HyperMac because it has a USB outlet so it should work with the Desire.
