Which case for the Prophet would you recommend?
My main criteria are:
- Screen protection
- As slim as possible
- Leather (desired)
- Cheap :wink:
Any advice is greatly appreciated.[/list]
the slimest there is... you can't use the touchscreen unfortunatly (or am I wrong maybe?)
anyway I havn't seen a leather case that wouldn't make a brick out of a prophet. I find it strange - you can quite comfortably put a prophet in your pocket, wich makes it very portable, but you can't have a case that doesn't spoil it.
You might find the following case suitable. I believe it adds the least volume to the unit given that it is conformal and very thin. (There might be something better, but I'm not aware of it.)
http://www.ebcases.com/Detail.bok?no=3331
There is also the possibility to customize the case as well for a fee. Thus one can ask the supplier to minimize thickness rather than providing the maximal protection to the unit.
After much pondering I came to the conclusion that having no case was best. It keeps the prophets small foot print and is still very useable. Invest in a good screen protector though.

I felt exactly the same until I accidentally dropped mine about 2 1/2 feet onto a tile floor and it dented/scratched the top corner of the device. Not extreme, but it was only a light tap on the ground.
I immediately went out and bought a gel skin made for the Prophet. Adds nothing to the weight/size/form-factor of the device.
I saw one that had a flip down plastic screen protector as well, but figured that was a little overkill.
Of course, these are in cell phone shops all over Asia, don't know about other countries.
I've found many people on the street using these skins instead of cases just because of the form-factor element. It's a shame to ruin such portability and, dare I say, elegance, to protect it.
But even now I feel like one of those guys that leaves his television remote control in the cellophane wrap so that it won't get any wear and tear... it was made to be used!

Hi vsc, that is a great case - the best I have seen so far! Thanks for the link.
I see that this case is for the Jam though - are the Jam and Jamin 100% identical (the form is identical (I believe) but not the button arrangement, right?).
I will contact ebcases directly also.
Thanks!
I asked the guys in the UAE and was told that the JAM / JAMin are identical. From the spec sheet they are within 0.2mm in size.
To be honest I had one of these in hand a few weeks ago and there was no issues with button placement and fitement in the case.

That is the reason why I really think that a protecting case is necessary (in case the device falls that is) - specially for a $600 device.
On the flip side, adding unnecessary bulk to a device which was purchased due to its slim form factor is kind of contradicting. Thus, I am searching for a very slim case, which still provides protection.
thulsey, which silicon case are you using? Have you heard of Skintight cases from Pamwarelabs http://www.palmwarelabs.com/Products/ProdList.aspx?CateID=36 ?

Thanks vsc!
As long as the cut outs are not covering buttons, I guess thats fine then.
So, from the pictures of their website, the case really looks very tight and it appears that it doesnt add any (at least not too much) bulkiness to the s200. How does the case appear if you saw this it in person and on a Prophet? Do the pictures reflect the impression given on their site?
What about these?
Has anyone tried out the aluminium cases like the ones sold on expansys? Or this one for example
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=71
I know the last one is kind of not a case, but a carying holster, but nevertheless...
Yes the pictures are a good representation of the actual case.
Note that the cover flap has padding on the outside surface, but the supplier can manufacture the case without the padding to reduce volume. There is a hard card within the flap, so I don't consider the padding to serve any purpose.
On the other hand the case I'm using while I wait for the leather case is from Brando,
http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwsiliconecase_details.php?id=49
Simply put the unit in your pocket with the screen facing inward.

I will contact the supplier to see how much the case would be without the padding. Anything, which makes the case a little slimmer helps - specially for that price.
Btw, is it cumbersome to put the silicon case on and off? I was thinking about the silicone case but I would have to put the device out of the case every day (for charging in desktop cradle and car mount, etc) and dont want o fiddle with this each day. Way easier to simply slight it into a case.
Changes to the case were US$10.
With respect to the Brando case...seconds. The problem is really related to the material's affinity for dust. Drop it in your pockets and you would be amazed as to the mount of crud it picks up. It wipes off with a microfiber cloth or cleans up with water.

got a brando silicone skin and it tore in the corner of the screen where it is thin. It also had a spot on the keypad that was thicker making it look like a black dot and not transparent. I found it to fit very well, but was a little thick, felt like a Wizard when holding it. Dust isn't too bad if you're not a dirtbag.

The one I'm using is very similar to the one from Palmwarelabs. It even has raised icons on each of the buttons so you can (sort of) feel what you're pressing. I think it's a local brand here in Taiwan, but I'll look into it and see if I can find it on the web.
When I was searching, I noticed that there are several different thicknesses of silicone, and various levels of craftsmanship that go into cutting things out (like the screen area, infrared port, etc.)
Get the flexskin from www.boxwave.com!!
You won't be dissapointed!

hey vsc, I talked to EBCases today and they said that the case for the Jam wont fit the Jamin due to different button arrangements.
According to EBCases' customer service agent (very friendly and helpful!), they are working on a new case right now, which will then fit the Jamin. The new case would probably take another 4 weeks in order to be released.
I might just wait for this new case, since their case really is the best I have seen so far (and I have looked at a lot of them).

I wish you could get a guarantee it will work. I doubt anyone here will give you such a promise. It is far more to do with the screen though than the digitizer. In some cases however when device gets hot it presses on the digitizer which then presses the screen. If you get SA problem even when cold then hopefully just replacing screen will work. Many have blamed the gasket around the edge of the bezel between screen and case. (thin black rubberized strip). Some have removed it, some replaced it etc etc., so you can see, making a promise on this would not be wise.
Still if I were in your situation I would get the screen and try!

First try i had was replacing the gasket with pieces of a thin business card but it still has SA problems.
The screen available on eBay is the right one (a customer asked more info and seller said is compatible with Hermes).
The picture on the auction is stretched by eBay imaging system.
I'll have another try removing the above mentioned pieces of business card to see if it improve screen response.
If not I'll try gettin' another screen but I'm afraid that the problem will be present also in new screen because it's not due to a proper screen malfunctioning but to the excessive pressure...

You may well be right. Of course it's silly that the screen they use is sensitive to touches right up to its edges where the bezel touches it. What I don't know is whether newer screens have been changed to remove the sensitivity around the edge.
I have read of some folks getting the screen replaced and the issue going away, though equally I've heard some say they sent device away and it returned with problem still present.

I made some try and i noticed that SA is due to heat.
When it had been idle it function properly and very responsively but using it get hot and SA appears.
So what do you think? Is screen or Hermes case that touch screen border causing SA?

Mmm. Yes.. if it's caused by heat expansion (as it often is) then it's probably pointless to replace the screen. The screen just needs a mm of space to expand - but with the digitzer on the back of the screen there is just no space for expansion. Some people find that slackening the screws at the back of the screen casing provides enough free space to stop the problem. A lot of folks also say this did not work for them though.
I'm afraid I cannot think of a solution that will be reliable.
So far as I know there is no change in the new screen edge sensitivity but I could be wrong. Post from folks with new screens would be welcome.

The popular view is that the heat causes expansion putting pressure on the screen. 1mm is perhaps a slight exageration perhaps only a fraction of 1mm. That's why running a business card around under the bezel works for some - it creates a small gap so no pressure is put on the screen. This is all a bit debateable though because others have found that firming up the screen with a thicker gasket between bezel and screen has worked for them. This appears to contradict the idea that free space is needed!!

Someone is selling me his 2nd hand HTC Universal.
He told me it has minor scratches and a small crack just below the front vga camera which, he told me, is "normal" to all units.
Is it true? Is that spot under the camera really prone to cracks?
Thanks for your replies!
I think it's usual.
My uni is broken on the cameras glass.
None of the 4 universals I've had have got this crack, they were all pretty battered and scratched but no cracks.
My current one is probably the worst with several dents but still no cracks.
Hmm...
That's strange.
Anyway, thanks for your replies.
It is true
almost every JasJar I saw had the crack on exactly the same spot under the VC camera, it goes from the corner of the screen down. Another similar spot it right up from the stylus tip towards the hinge. Somehow Execs are less prone to the same breakage. Usually happens when the screen is replaced or someone attempts to open the screen without proper tools or knowledge. Wizard has a weak spot like that next to stylus as well, I guess each device has its very own weak spot.
Thanks for the heads up. I guess I'm buying the unit afterall.
I'm choosing between the Universal and the Asus P526 and I'm really confused.

That is exactly the place - have 2 units with that exact location of the hairline crack. Too much of a coincidence I think. Another one, as I mentioned, usually appears just above the stylus handle, extending from the hinge down. Third appears on the keyboard part itself right at the swivel hinge. Might have to do with the usage and practice of opening and closing the screen. Have one unit waiting for a new case because of the cracks. Might go black O2 on JasJar motherboard, O2 screen and O2 blue-lit keypad.
Hi, does anyone have dust under touch screen and LCD close to volume up button. When you look on the sun or strong light.
Theres gap between LCD and top glass and bad sealing around. Have never had any spec of dust in TD1.
Hope its not gonna cover whole display soon... ((
Sent it to the service center, they gonna exchange display with top touch screen. Thats HTC display defect...
They just blowed away the dust between LCD and Touch screen (not perfectly), I think that glued LCD with touch surface is much more better, this is not very good solution on TD2. Im disappoited with HTC Company.
WELL, MAYBE IM TOO PERFECTIONIST...
After several disassembly of my TD2 (testing) found the place where the dust comes in... Will describe it with pics later on...
Nope. Just a spec of dust that got under my screen protector
I've got a spec of dust close to the speaker side of the screen
oh, 2bad :/
this is indeed frustrating.
i'm on the lucky side...for now.

Yes I have exactly that. Very annoying!!! I too hope it doesn't get any worse.
I have also noticed dust between the two layers of the touchscreen in bright sun light. IMO it's a severe design flaw!
I had dust under the screen yesterday and today. Right now it seems to have migrated away.
The Diamond 1's LCD disply and Digitizer were pressed and seald together as one unit I beleive. The D2 isn't and has a Gap between the glass and LCD. I much prefer the LCD up against the glass with no gap. looks sharper, brighter, and better.
I think they skimped out a little on the D2 quality to keep cost down and also economize a little. Look at the packaging. I really don't mind it because the quality is still good and HTC probably saved some bucks and will thrive and give us even better phones when the economy strengthens.

you're right.
I got a diamond last year.everything were perfect.
in 6 days ago, I got a Diamond2
the box..........so cheap..
well , that doesn't a matter.
BUT, when I check ....
1.the backplate is very shining ...............
What,.... when they were painting, they DID NOT check the dust on the
backplate.......
so , I change a new phone
2.the ups said that Diamond1 the display and that screen we touch or tap is a
same unit is really correct. In Taiwan, if your panel got any problems, you have to change the whole part.
at the final, to me , that isn't a problem ..
Because, the new Diamon2 I got , got a same problem
(dust in screen, and now , I can not find it lol.
but I have to say,
In taiwan , we really hope, HTC have got better and better..
with a bset quality.

HA HA, in Taiwan that is a really really old conversation.
at the final, the point is
1.do you really need a 3.5 phonejack?
2.do you care about the size of you phone?
3.and the performance, it's same. Just like custom rom from Diamond2 can work on HD, so .. perfermance is not the point when you have to choose from the two phone.
to me, the HTC earphone I have is a really old model, but it got a gool quality,so I don't need a 3.5, and it's too big to put into my pocket
so I choose DIAMOND2
by the way , original rom in Diamond2 is really good..
(it is not my first HTC pda phone, I have got CHT9000,9100,9110,Elfin,Diamond..., but truely, it's first time I did not so hurry to find a custom Rom)
hey
well TD2 is new here in europe hehe..
3.5mm jack is stupid.read this.
http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6885
The htc touch HD is 3.8 inch and TD2 is 3.2 inch its not that much of a difrance.
and the touch screen is better on the TD2.
so i will go for the TD2
one more thing, it says that TD2 supports WMV, ASF, MP4, 3GP, 3G2, M4V, AVI formats. Dose that means that i dont need coreplayer??
I have experienced the same problem of dust accumulating beneath the screen in the top left corner.....only had the device a week!.
I sent it back for exchange and have now received another new device. Ive noticed the screen on the new device flexes a little when you press it.
I guess time will tell, whether this will be as bad!
me too
My TD2 isn't even one week old and I have the exact same problem in the same position!
...really pisses me off. how can something like this happen to such an experienced class leading company?
this is just cheap!

It's beleive it is glass. I don't know exactly. Some people on here have complained that it is cheap flexible plastic but it is not the same as the Elfin. That was plastic for sure and I ave already replaced the digitizer on the Elfin.
We all know that there are 2 layers to the screen and I beleive it is what makes it more sensitive and accurate than other resistive screens. (among other things)
My Tought
There is a plastic membrane, if you take the stylus and look across the plane of the screen while pressing it you will see it flex. This flex is limited though due to there being glass. Tap and poke at it and you can hear/feel it. This is also proven by the fact that you can press with fairly great pressure and never come in contact with the LCD. You never get and color mixtures or whatever that's called. So the digitizer is 2 layers. A plastic to highten risitiveness of the screen and glass to protect the lcd and limit the memrane travel.
Pleas note that this is just what I have observed and noticed about the device and beleive it to be correct. Do not take it as 100% truth but please do observe the flexing and how you can press fairly hard without even touching the actual LCD.
Touch Freak, I belive you are right, makes total sense...
No other with the dust problem???
I want to migrate from TP to TD2... but if the dust problem persist I probably desist...

If you haven't taken it apart there is NO WAY there can be dust "IN" the screen, it's hermetically sealed.
If you have scratches, just replace it, there are numerous guides out there but google is HARD, isn't it.

If you haven't taken it apart there is NO WAY there can be dust "IN" the screen, it's hermetically sealed.
If you have scratches, just replace it, there are numerous guides out there but google is HARD, isn't it.

There is way! Well, maybe not in the screen but I have something somewhere under my glass in the top left corner too. Maybe not as bad as on the picture in this thread but in the right angle and light it's very visible.

Trust me, it isn't. At least not in all of them. The digitiser & screen are separate, not hermetically sealed to each other at all. They're cheap Chinese phones, little manufacturing defects are common. Small gaps that dust can get into are common, the back light leaks out of the side of my blade, I can see a gap, it shines out quite bright in the dark, I think I'm just lucky the gap isn't on the other side of the screen. My last blade (that broke) got a bit of dust under the screen (between the screen & digitiser), so far this one has avoided it.
You need to be careful if you're taking the blade apart, there are some delicate parts. The ribbon cable that connects the digitiser is a bit fragile.

I think there is something different between the GEN3 phones and others on this too.
The digitizer and the screen are fused together by a vaccum seal on my phone, it takes quite a bit to pry them apart and i can promise you that no dust could possibly get in there.
I think you're referring to white spot edge, a common phenomenon on backlit LCD's, it sounds just like it, i use hot glue mixed with water colour to fix that on on second grade items i might buy off the ... market...

Well, maybe there is on some of the versions, my apologies for assuming too much.
But now you have a guide to use to take it apart.
