New Magician housing ????

I sold my Wizard to get a Universal and funds won't allow it at the moment so going back to a Compact, sold my last a few months back. Just picked up a tatty one cheap....anyone know of a source for new cases if it can be done in the UK ? Ebay link maybe ?

monkeyphonix: do you mind changing the name of this thread to "New Magician housing?" to be a bit more helpful. It's a bit misleading right now.
I haven't heard of anyone selling 3rd party case, but if you search you can find HTC's telephone numbers and might get spares.

I have their website up now with a UK number, looks like they do the work, not sure if they sell spares but will ring them, cheers.

have a look on the board though, I do think a few guys have tried it, so you might be lucky! I still love the Magician, just don't find the wizard attractive enough really. Universal - good for beating a man to death with...

hahaha...I like the comment about the Universal......can be used as a weapon in self-defence

O2mini_noob - it's all true!
This is what I have to wear when I put it in my pocket:

That's me in black :shock: (not really!)
I shouldn't be cruel. It's a nice device. I just wish they had put a lanyard hole on it, otherwise it's bound to fall and get mashed up like monkeyphonix's.

hahaha....that's a great illustration :lol:
There's another option for Magician cases
(1) Buy a silicon skin to protect your device ..black or brown will mask the condition of the exterior.
(2) At skinit.com, buy skins for your Magician and transform a tatty looking handheld into the coolest device in your area
(3) If the screen is scratched, get the "scratch remover" from ebay and DIY the repair of the screen. Then put a screen protector on.
Doing this will increase the resell value of your device when it's time for an upgrade

Anyone interested in getting sorta stylished outfits for 8525??

Well, the only concern I had with my Hermes was it is god dam big.
It's tolerable when it's without anything but I just want protect my 8525 from scratches.
I always cover my phone with plastic cover, but it looks so big when it's in my pant's pocket,
as someone once joked that he thought it was my PH.D(pretty huge D) skewed to left(or right),
and I'm an asian, the fact of which makes my figure pretty an irony(I can joke about my race, right??).
In my country, Korea, they cover phone with sorta printed plastic or film sticker,
which enables easy outfit reforms of phones as well as scratch protaction.
As they don't have 8525 in this country, I was looking for expansion drawings for 8525, which I couldn't.
I posted about this issue but no one gives a dam about that or my Eng was sucky.
Anyhow, I finally made it by myself. it's kinda not perfect yet.
I ordered plastic sticky sheet from cellphone reforming shop and I need to cut that sheet(or sh*t) by my self following the expansion drawing, but if they gets enough demand, I can ask for customized factory cut of the expansion drawing so that I(or we) don't have to waste my time for precise cutting.
I don't believe there would be such a huge demand, cuz this forum is for sorta geeks(at least a bit of), not for metropolitan-ambiguous gendered dudes.
So the product of covered phones will be like this::

}
I will post mine soon if I succeed in making a versatile outfit. I am making it with Paul Smith stripes, and you can also cover your phone with sorta like Gucci or LV or BMW, Jessica alba....and so on.
So if you are interested in getting something like that, post a reply or enter a poll.
Then I am thinking about supplying through ebay.
The cost of the cover would be around 15 bucks including shipping fee.
Customized order(of picture) would be more than that, I gotta ask the shop owner.
So anyone interested??
It's only available for 8525, or other Hermes model which has totally same outfit.
P.S- How do you call that kinda cover in English, if it has name?

edit:
a little googling and i found this http://www.skinit.com/ and it looks like they do have skins for the hermes
if you do decide to sell.......and if someone orders a hello kitty one, pls make sure to post that persons address here so we can go beat up that person

SOLD

SOLD!.......

Selling for sure now..

good luck man. I'm trying to stick with it. Would really wish Android would come so I have something new to play with.

I know you asked how much we would pay for it, but what do you think is fair? I ask because I'm interested.

some more...

Ebay man. I just sold mine also (I to bought an iphone, need that 3G, bunch of apps and awsome touchscreen) It just sold today on ebay for $700. Not bad for a used HD.

doesn't ebay take part of your money?

bump...
..........

price? I already pm you.

Changing to Iphone? thats baaaad. three of my friends bought iphone, 2 got rid of it under 14days for free return and bought htc tytn2 and Diamond. Third one didnt because he paid so high price that he has to stay with it.
Good luck and have fun with your apple.
edit: remember, if you read apple forums never believe what they say. I would give you URL but it is in Finnish so useless. Funny to read those apple people: "My keyboard is badly made, battery doesnt work good anymore, bad screen, but other than that I like it. it is good for me."

ive used an iphone before.. ive never had a problem with it.. its so much better now with all the apps. tons of people have it.. theirs no issue. their are problems with all the phones.
no phone is perfect and not every phone is perfect for everyone.
thats all that has to be said.

I like the black rubber case... where'd you get it?

not sure where.. go to the accessories page in this forum and look it up

pm me your minimum price w/shipping. I'm in NV...

Have you sold it yet?? I'm interested

hey man goodluck with your sales. I'm starting to think if I should let my go too. I miss functional keys for text and is currently thinking about saving for the n97. Same size screen plus a keyboard. Hard decision to make. Also thought about the X1 as well. You stuck on getting the iphone 3g for sure? Why not consider unlocked phones with the US 3G band, that way you can get 3G data for less.

Unfortunately I would totally agree on that. Was thinking that it could be a potential replacement of my Fuze, not so much now... How did they manage to make a pretty decent looking phone ugly how...

i suppose i won't pass judgement until i see it in person...but eh i can't get a new phone yet anways so ....moot point

we just added a few new photos and more details...like no 3.5 jack, talk time worse than the Fuze and a possible launch date before super Tuesday

Isn't the next "super Tuesday" in something like February 2012? When exactly are you referring to?

The super Tuesday being refered to is next Tuesday because that is the day Microsoft said it was releasing Windows Mobile 6.5 along with several carriers announcing availability of WM 6.5 phones. It is the official launch date for WM 6.5 basically.

if you walk into a store today you can buy one - 100%. Just ask nice and act innocent.

you should be able to get it today in NY at least. I played with the floor model for a bit. its not as ugly in person. its not ugly at all in person. it does look horrible on the box art though.

Apart from the AT&T branding, this is identical to the t-mobile Compact V..... the case, the silver inlay on the back, earpiece, ..... all the same.
Only thing I can't see is if it has the mini-usb cover on the bottom but I guess it has.
John

Yes, it's the same as T-Mobile MDA Compact V except logos on front cover.

Ok I have to ask, why do these carriers change the phones? I'm not just talking about the TD2. I prefer the original versions, not to mention the carrier branding, ugh.

Maybe
Perhaps its ugly, perhaps its got no headphone jack... Regardless, I'm probably buying one of these later today or sometime this week for analysis/experimentation It will be nice to have a phone smaller than my fuze tho... it is kind of thick (And yes, I'm aware its thinner because of the lack of keyboard). Ill post back here when i get it, and post whether or not its as bad as everyone thinks.

Welcome to the Revolution

This isn't exactly Dream related, but definitely Android related which is good for all of us, for those who aren't aware, sh!t just got real tonight as Verizon launched its first Droid(aka Sholes) commercial:
http://www.droiddoes.com
Not only is the commercial straight comedy in the best way possible(at the expense of Apple) but they keep it 100% real, no disclaimer required. I say bravo, wish T-Mobile had launched a campaign like this when the G1 rolled out, the commercial will play Sunday during the NFL games so people who missed it can view it in HD. Hey Apple, Welcome to the Revolution!

I was just watching that. Good for Verizon. Good for Android. I'll be sticking with my G1 and TMO but daddy has Verizon and he may be adding another line soon...
ilove it...Apple will "sauce" their pants

that was hilarious, i remember sir*mez saying something about that commercial last night.

Anyone notice that it says "DROID" is a registered trademark of lucasfilm at the bottom? Wonder if they're just allowing them to use the name or if there's more to it.
Would be funny if R2-D2 and C3PO ran android. I suppose R2-D2 would have a Hero rom and C3PO would have a motoblur rom, what with him speaking almost every language.

Lol I thought I was the only one that noticed the Lucasfilm trademark. That seems somewhat strange to me. Anyone else have any thoughts?

nice find.

hey haykuro
long time, no see around these parts. good to see you are still around or maybe making a comeback now that the traitior is out in the open

yeah, Droid is a registered trademark of lucasfilm, so it's licensed but unless I'm getting Obi-Wan'd this is definitely the Droid I am looking for. The specs on it are awesome, and allegedly it's as thin as the iphone with it's sliding qwerty, can't wait till HTC matches this and throws it on good ol' T-mob.

looks like the htc dragon will be, or at least the phone they are suspecting to be the dragon. it has a keyboard too, that is what i am gonna go for

lets sure hope so..... but in case it is a bust we have thissss
