My G2 is overclocked to 1.4 GHz at all times, and I haven't felt my phone overheat at all. I'd consider myself a power-user, meaning I use the phone all the time, and I haven't felt it get hot. It's gotten slightly warm but nothing that would be considered as hot. And if you haven't seen my video review of the HTC hard shell case, check it out. You may not want to get this case if you're planning on removing it from your G2 on a regular basis.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] carquote:
Thanks for the reply and the video review dustrho. Seeing this thread and your review is what made me want to get this case, I'm just a bit worried about how hard it was to take off in the event I need to pull the battery or something. So you leave the case on all the time while charging and have it overclocked to 1.4 GHz with no overheating or battery issues? Do you think the case will cause any kind of scratches or other damage to the phone after being on for a while?

Also, since you said you haven't had any heat issues, I'm curious to know if you have a screen saver on the phone. Any thoughts on HTC's statement to me regarding screen savers possibly leading to overheating? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
Yes, I leave the case on all the time.

I don't believe it will cause any damage to the phone itself, but if you end up taking it off frequently then I can see there would be a strong chance of doing some form of damage to your phone.

No, I do not have a screen protector on my phone, nor do I plan on adding one to it. I don't believe it would cause any overheating issues, so if you want one put one on your phone.

I just ordered the black hard shell case from Android Central this morning. Used coupon code cc10 for 10% off... Can't wait to receive it...

hey everyone!

just received my htc case from android central and i just wanted to say beware because when i got mine the whole entire packaging was crushed. it is packaged in one of those large yellow envelopes with bubble wrap protection as the interior. maybe i should contact android central?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MissTiffany2U:
Was the case damaged?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gaisto17:
Just received mine today, and I love it! Even took my phantomskin off for it missed havin a case for my phone. O and mine came in a box from android central =/
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] vtran03:
when i posted i was too afraid to open it but my brother took the plunge and it was fine. so i just put the case on and its a really nice case but im going to wait for my screen protector before putting everything on. its not that hard to take apart because all you do is carefully unclip the parts where it attaches to the phone. it doesnt add too weight to the phone and the texture is soft matte so thats a major plus. im not a big fan for cases but ive already dropped my phone so this is a must!

to other owners of this case, do you have gap between the cover and the bottom of the keyboard? i thought maybe i put it on incorrectly or thats just the case.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] romdroid.:
anyone knows where i can find like this one? (oem) but not in wirlessground and cheaper that ships to europe?

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
Were the two pieces for the case broken or cracked from the damage done to the packaging? If so, you should contact them, and hopefully they'll ship you out a replacement for it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] vtran03:
here are some reference pictures of the case.. enjoy!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jayvo:
I bought one of these cases yesterday. You just can't go wrong with an HTC product.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MissTiffany2U:
I received my case today from Android Central. Thankfully, it came it in a box that was not damaged. Overall, I am very happy with it. Fits snugly and doesn't add much extra bulk. I'll probably go back and order the raspberry colored one.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] chobie:
Are they back on stock?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MissTiffany2U:
The black is not in stock. The site says it will be available on 2/4. All the other colors are in stock, though...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] HTC HD2 MAN:
Looks really sexy! haha canyou tell me where the clips are at on both pieces of the case or take pictures of the case only?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jayvo:
Received my case today. Very sleek and nice looking. Worth every penny.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] collins521:
If you want to remove the battery do you have to remove the whole back piece? I take the little cut out where the battery door is is just for looks
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] chobie:
Yeah you have to take the back case off completely. The cutout is just there for design :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] DeoreDX:
I will pretty much repeat what others have said. Fit and finish it top notch. Lots of protection. Just wish it was a tad thinner. Well worth the extra couple of bucks over the generic cases IMHO. Does make the phone easier to hold in portrait mode with the keyboard open.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] romdroid.:
ohhh when will they get it back in stock i want it so bad :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eep02b:
3ft drop equals snapped case edges... :-|

So i was at work friday and accidentally knocked it off of the nurse's desk onto the floor. I picked it up and was very happy that I had the case on my phone. As I walked off and sat down talking to my pt, I noticed that my phone felt different. As I looked at my phone, I saw that the less than 3 ft fall to the floor had completely snapped the rear right edge of the case. I was shocked!! Maybe i'm confused, but aren't cases like this supposed to stand up to small falls like that?? Especially if it falls onto carpet?? Now granted, it was one of those floors where its cement under the carpet, but still, a 3ft fall!!!! And to make matters worse, i've only had the case for 2 weeks. I contacted the site I bought the case from and they continue to state that its not a manufacturer's defect and refuse to replace it or refund my money. If I had known this case would do like this, i would have gotten the otterbox like I originally wanted!! ARGH!!! And no the chip is not huge, but it makes the back case really loose, scratches the back of my phone, and yes i'm OCD, i want the case to be in tip top shape!!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sino8r:
I've dropped mine several times on hard wood, carpet, and cement flooring with no scratches or anything. You must have had a 1 in 100 bad luck drop. These things (cellular devices & accessories) go through actual drop tests (that's what they are called ;)) and are rated. The rubber should absorb most of the shock. You must have dropped it right on the edge which is probably the weakest point...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eep02b:
and this replaces my case how exactly?? the point is that my case is still broken, and not getting replaced anytime soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] chobie:
Yay for nurses. I'm a nurse as well :)

Hmm, if ever you're gonna get an otterbox would you consider donating your front piece to me? :p
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] romdroid.:

Thanks. Just ordered one myself. One left in stock.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bryyyan:
Finally got mine in today and I love it. Wish the other colors had the cut out design on the back though.

In the video that was posted a few pages back the guy had a difficult time removing the case. Today i tried it and it came off very easy.

Ive never been so satisfied about a case. This case is awesome. So awesome i might just get a back up case. Or maybe in another color
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] romdroid.:
i just orderd the clear case one cuz that was the only one they had in stock. anyone have it? some pictures please? :o
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] stuzor:
anyone able to find the black ones in stock? I can't find them anywhere
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] romdroid.:
nope thats why i orderd the clear case one...the only one in stock left..i will recivie it within this 2 days
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] stuzor:
well damn... yeah the main reason I wanted to go with this case over the otterbox was due to the rubberish outside. It looked very reminiscent of my seido case for my nexus one. I fear the clear case will be slick like the otterbox. If this is an official htc case why can't I find it on their site anywhere?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] chobie:
Still waiting for stocks -_-
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] arich:
Don't suppose anyone has an extra black front they want to sell, I took a fall on my skateboard (in flip flops, super dumb) and the phone was saved but the front piece is shot lol
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] turboyo:
How much thickness do these add? Anything thinner out there? I'm interested in the clear one just so I can still see the beauty of the phone ;) lol
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sino8r:
Who said it would?! Don't get mad at me because you're clumsy and had a bit of bad luck! You sound like a typical nurse... bitter from wiping patient's asses all day :) Besides, warranty should cover it and you have EASILY returned it and had a replacement already. Sheesh!

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] johnnyqta:
no luck. Ive literally tried every website... sold out everywhere. this case is the best case out and affordable but I unfortunately broke the front piece of it so I need another one!!

I really would like to buy someone's if they aren't satisfied with theirs! must be in perfect condition, I have paypal
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
I thought I should share with everyone what happened to this case of mine, seeing as how I started this thread which has become quite active. I noticed that the top portion of my case wasn't sitting on the display very well, so upon further investigation I saw the two clips/teeth had either become worn down or just broke away. The bottom part of the case is in perfect condition, but now the top doesn't want to stay on the phone well. I've seen several other cases experience this same problem, but thought this HTC branded one could handle simple wear-n-tear. I'm pretty disappointed about this, as I thought this was THE case for me. Now I need to start shopping around for a new one.

Here's a couple pics (not the best) of it...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] HAK Devil:
I've been looking absolutely everywhere for the black version of this case and have yet to find it in stock. If someone does find one please post it here or even if somebody wants to sell theirs I would be willing to buy that.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dustrho:
I'll sell mine if anyone wants it, just know that you'd have to figure out how to fix the worn/broken teeth on the top piece. The bottom piece works perfectly fine.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
Well, your best bet will probably still be ebay. There is no real difference between the "fake" and real ones except for the branding. It's just a case so you dont have to worry about if it was made by HTC or not. Just my 2 cents

It's about the brand.

The front cover isn't black...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] virtualflyer:
I have one with no battery cover "signs" and black for the back and transparent for the front.

Am I the only one feeling it far too big?? It makes the phone more like a brick. I've stopped using it and I feel like I have a new phone.

BTW, I think it fell me twice, back cover corners are already broken, meaning there are hole on the corners.

Can you tell us where you can buy it? I have bought a tpu case from ebay but it makes my phone slippery.

I've asked this before and haven't gotten any fix so far. I've been flashing roms left and right the past couple months and I cannot figure out why the MAX MEDIA VOLUME is so much lower than on stock eclair. I'm a huge music junky and I'm close to giving up on froyo because of this one drawback. Can it be set from SGS TOOLS? Again, when listening to music through headphones or auxiliary the Max volume is much lower than on eclair. Heeeeelp
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
There is an app on the market called audioboost. It is not free but it is supposed to accomplish what you want
[Captivate General] newter55:
You can adjust the volume steps in sgs tools but they will not survive a reboot. This issue has been discussed but gains no traction a far as getting the higher setting cooked in. lithium and power amp both have settings that allow music through audio out to be increased beyond normal maximum levels as well..a workaround I know but better than going back to 2.1 ;)
[Captivate General] mikejames07:
I second the use of the AudioBoost app, but I'll also suggest Supercurio's Stock + Voodoo kernel depending on which ROM you use. He uses the stock Captivate kernel so the Volume isn't affected.
[Captivate General] nappent:
Where do you do this in SGS tools?
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
I'd like to know as well
[Captivate General] rye&ginger:
Im on stock 2.1, I bet this was changed to prevent accidental volume increase issues. Volume increase should require multiple presses but holding down the button can quickly put it up to max.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
I purchased the Audioboost 2 app & it works, but it makes my phone lag. Doesn't seem to drain battery any quicker though. Would still like a permanent fix or instructions through SGS TOOLS

And now I'm boot looping won't go past n color startup animation wth
[Nook Color General] slayda:
I had that problem on my NC when it was rooted. Luckily I had another problem that let me get out by the 8 times reset manual method. Mine would occasionally update itself back to version 1.0.0. When it did that I managed to reset it & now a new NC is on its way to replace this one.

This probably won't help solve the issue but at least it lets you know you're not alone.
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Mine boot looped and I did the full 8X reboot thing and then the 3 button data reset. All of that puts you back to "out-of-the-box" stock. You can then redo the autonooter rooting procedure.
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
Can't get out

I am stuck in a boot loop and cant get out.

First it was stuck on the droid boot animation from the auto config. After I put the autonooter card back in it started looping the rooted boot animation.

Did the 3 button thing and that forced an update but went back to bootlooping the rooted animation.

Then did the 8X reboots manually and that also forced the down arrow update, but then it still bootloops.

I tried getting in from PuTTy (as admin) but it never connects. Do I just use port 22? (to 192.168.2.2 with Data and username as root?)

adb doesn't work... going to bed now and will try again tomorrow after work.
[Nook Color General] Nate731:
What i had to do to resolve my issue was that was to do the 8x reset to trigger the factory reset of the OS and then do the 3 button reset of the user data. In my case it was a self tweaked issue with an app permisson. If I remember right the key combo is Power+VolUp+"n" key. Try this and let us know.
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
Bigger Issues.... First Brick?

So ... I left my Nook in what I thought was an "OFF" state last night, only to bring it to work and find it says "Battery too low to Power on" "Please wait 15 minutes and try again" :eek:

I think... no worries... plug it in and let 'er sit for an hour.... an hour passes and I'm still getting the same screen.

Is this better or worse? let me see...

1) if it stays like this, I can return/exchange it at B&N and they won't be able to verify that it was rooted due to non-bootiness

2) If it eventually boots, I will have to try to get it out of bootloop.

3) If it comes to life and I can't get it out of bootloop, I will drain the battery again and go back to #1.

Any thoughts besides this current train?
