Hi I have a Cingular 8525 and as usual due to my clumsiness I have drop it twice on the cement. Everything's working fine but being a person with a mild case of obsessive compulsive behavior I am buggin......
Also if you guys are looking for a case for your Hermes you should try to avoid this style. My 8525 was securely in this case and the phone 'flew' out of it when it was knocked on the front side of the case. The phone flew out knocking the battery boor, battery, and the sim right out of the phone. Not good! Also, the case uses a magnet for the flap closure so it goes without saying it is sending my phone into periodic landscape mode whenever I remove the phone from the case.
I have tried ebay for a replacement case and unlike all my other phone nothing is available and I mean nothing. Not even one cheesy knock off is on there for this phone.
Has anyone here looked into getting an OEM housing for the 8525?
Personally I would prefer to keep the phone in a 8525 case versus changing it out for other verients.
Sorry for the long post.....I'm sick in bed with a 103 fever so I figure that I would bug u guys
Thanks.

Looking for same for TyTN
I need a tytn oem case as well. I dropped and scratched mine. Irony of it is, I've had it for two months, purchased invisible skin two days before I dropped it - idn't get a chance to put it on before i dropped it!
Oh and mine was in a metal case. It rell out of that! So nothing's safe. Gotta put on invi skin!
try this
checkout this site. it has pretty much everything that is available.
you might want to invest in the hard metal case : )

Did you happen to adjust the hinge(simply by bending it inward slightly) before placing your Hermes inside. I have an aluminum case, and I've test dropped it, and nothing happened.
***Please not from the factory, the hinge merely "clips" over/on the other side of the aluminum housing. If you want to make it more stable you have to slightly bend the "lip" that connects to the lower portion of the housing. YMMV. I had to readjust mine once as the first time I had it way too tight, and it was very hard to get my Hermes out of the case. Now it simply closes with an authoritative click, and I know my Hermes is secure.
Anybody find a place to get the housing for an 8525 yet? There is a large (its not that large, but its visible enough to be annoying) gash on the metal bezel running along 3 of the 4 sides of the display of my 8525
im new to the forums, but my 8525 got knocked out of my hand and got pretty messed up. my "t" key has also started to lift off of the pad. i wanted to know if this has happened to anybody and if there is any replacement keyboards for sale also. can i swithc over to the tytn with the proper front keyboard? any help would be amazing.
i just bought a dummy 8525 off of ebay, Im not sure how they are made, but I am going to see if I can switch the housing
please let me know how it works, i was thinking of doing the same thing...

The dummy thing did not work, it isnt an actual housing, only the front buttons work, the rest are fake and do not move, there isnt even a real battery cover, its one piece. That was a waste of $10.99
still really desperate to get a new housing, anyone know where one is available?

Well let me add that I am not the seller. so don't ask me any questions, but this is a seller I have bought housing for my imate jam before...
hrm, sorry about bring up an old thread, but I thought it would be easier than starting a whole new one.
I'm purchasing a used dopod 838 pro sometime this week, and was looking to get a replacement housing for it as it is fairly abused. Would something like the above posted (HTC 8525 case) work well? I notice that, that case doesnt have a powerbutton on the front of the case, will this cause a problem when I go to replace the housing?

There you go guys.. I dropped my phone before christmas, and broke the latch that holds the battery door on, and I had to use some tape for awhile. I must have ordered one of the last Cingular 8525 cases, since all they have is the HTC Hermes black cases with the front camera hole.
That shouldnt be too big of deal to you guys though looking for new cases. It took about a week and a half to get here (FL, USA) from Hong Kong at Christmas time. Very good site..

I use a case with magnetic closure..............I put the device into the case with the screen facing away from the magnet and I have never had any issue with it.

55 bucks and your back in business
I am having the same problem sourcing the correct housing for my phone. I am from the UK and have searched high and low to find a housing for the UK equivalent the SPV M3100 (HERM100 - so the label says).
I have checked all the sites mentioned above, at cnn.cn they dont have the correct housing as the front buttons are different? and the cingular housing is 1: not a nice colour! and 2:L i dont know if this includes the mid plate as well.
Does anyone know where i can get hold of the correct housing(not silver) i dont mind the branding.
when i bought the 8525, it came with a screen protector which was already on the screen. i did not want to take it off because it was really nice and it obviously protects it. My question is, if its on for a long time, will it come off? i know that the Treo 650 came with one also, and my friend is unable to take it off now, i don't want that to happen to my device...
Hmm thats weird did you buy a refurbished unit or something?
I only ask because to my knowledge they do not come with a screen protector.
hmm that is weird. i just got a brand new one last week and the screen protector was still wrapped up brand new...its really cheap so i left it in the box...probably want to make sure you didnt get an opened box or anything like that
well I bought it a week used 8525...but I just wanna make sure I can take it off after the screen protector after it wears out(scratches and such)...because my friends treo 650 screen protector wouldn't come off
I've had mine about a month now, and mine came with the protector as well. It works okay, but I have no idea about it coming off. However, I have a new phone on the way because the camera doesn't work. Wonder if it will have one as well.

well since u are getting a new one, take the protector off and let me know if the screen is alright...
I bought some of the palm screen protectors and they stay on just fine, it is a b*tch to put them on though, you have to be patient and try to slide them into place otherwise it seems to never align correctly, and don't worry about what size to buy you just need to cut them down to size anyway.
I almost bought the cheap ones online but I knew staples would take them back if they sucked and some dude on ebay wouldn't.
The pack cost me $15 for 13 pieces. Make sure you cut out a custom template in thicker stock paper (I just used the paper that came in the packaging from palm) so you don't have to ruin any of the protectors through trial and error.
I've used them on other things such as mp3 player, other phones and such before and have never had any problems taking them off.
Good luck!

get an invisible shield from http://www.shieldzone.com/, its not cheap vinyl, kinda rubbery feeling. LIFETIME GUARANTEED not to scratch. I've had them on all my phones for 2 years now and hasn't gotten scratched yet. you can watch this crazy video of one on a mac and someone grinding drywall screws on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrMVyp8tcQw

I second this post. I have shieldzone protectors on both my 8125 and my 8525. They are awesome and easy to apply or take off if you wish to, I have never had reason to remove since I put them on. They also make skins for the entire device, though I don't know how they will work. I just stuck with the screen protector. They have a cool video of an iPod with a full skin stuck in a box with a bunch of sharp objects and shook around for awhile with no damage.
I have never had an issue with them and have had one on my 8125 for over a year and on my 8525 for a few months.
Hi, I'm looking for a silicon protection for my kaiser. Yesterday I drop my kaiser for my first time... It has 3 horrible body scratches now... the smooth surface is anything but scrached protected...
I'm now looking for some kind of protection. My first idea was to get a silicon protector, like those used for ipods... But I have not been able to find any....
Does any of you own one of those?
Any recomendation?
http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02247&dept_id=039&cat_id=0763
Thanks for the info!!!
Are u using one of those? Are u still able to use the HTC holder (The one included in the original HTC TyTN 2 box)?
Have u buy any other product from that website?
thanks !!!!!
I am not using it for the TyTNII, but had one for the P3600. Have ordered many products from that site.....no problems whatsoever. Still think Brando screen protectors are amongst the best you can find.
Has anyone seen a similar silicone case but with a plastic screen protector like that for the wizard?
- TKN
How the Brando works if we slide and tile the screen? Anyone can post a pic for this?
they sell it on ebay for $10 shipped
Hi,i've bought one for my trinity and it was very effective.So i command one ( Brando ) for my Kaiser.I've received it today and it's really a bad product,the protection fall all the time.So i continue to use my trinity silicon case.So don't buy this !
I've got one off eBay, maybe fake who knows, but it suffers exactly as Marcdu81 says. Its rubbish, falls off all of the time, on the Artimes, I used a silicon protector in cunjunction with a slip case, and was hoping to repeat that with the kaiser. Looks like the Seido super thin case is the only way, at ~£30 to the UK. I only paid £80 + contract for the kaiser so £30 is a lot for a case. I'll carry on hunting for a good and cheap case.
DO NOT BUY THAT!!!
It's a piece of junk just like everyone said. The best protection currently for this device is the Seidio rubberized case. I know it's pricey, but it's well worth it.
Trust me, I tried the cheap way and got that piece of crap from ebay. Do like I did and bite the bullet. You can get the Seidio rubberized case for a few bucks cheaper on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/724-Seidio-Rubb...ryZ20337QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Actually, once you get the Seidio case, the crappy silicone case fits much better when you use both at the same time.
do they sell the Seidio rubberized case without the hole for the second camera in the front? my tilt doesnt have the second camera.

Unfortunately, they don't... Yet. They say they MIGHT in the future but I wouldn't hold my breath. Believe me, the beauty of this case makes up for the useless hole.
Is this the one you guys are saying is crap? >>>http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=207883654&listingid=21964170&dcaid=17902

Yes that's the one they're saying is rubbish. I ordered one too and the thing just will not stay on. I hate it when the rubber falls off

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
But Anyway I have to second or third the notion about the Seido Rubberized Case. It stays on the Phone SO well and you can slide a tilt with ease. It's so awesome.
Thanks guys, I'm going to bite the bullet and get the Seidio rubberized case then. Hopefully there won't be problems with this rubber falling off!

I got the one from seidoonline, and it is good, but in my opinion you have to get used to opening (sliding) your phone with care. There are little tabs that hold the case to the phone, and for me it feels like the phone hits these tabs if you open it up too fast.
I'm not sure if it is the same for the boxwave one.
I ended up also buying the aluminum case, with the only downside being you have to open it up (the case) all the time to use the touch screen for the phone.
-1 for Seidio. It took over a month to get it since after I ordered it 3 days later they said it was backordered. 2 weeks later it finally ships. It will be the last order I place with Seidio.

well i just ordered the seidio case because i think it will work to my liking. but over a month to receive it is a bit much. ill tell you how my order goes...
I got a Seido Case. Honestly I like it. It fits tight and feels easier to grip. I just ordered it on the 13th had it by the 18th.
I love my Armor case from boxwave. I dropped it on it's corner the very next day. The case popped open, and the Tilt separated into phone and bat cover in the parking lot. Put them back together and running strong. Decent dent in the armor case, but I'm SURE the phone would not have survived otherwise, lol. You should see the pics of me dropping it since. Talk about battle damage
I'll be getting the Seido case for my Tilt. The boxwave case looks like the cheapo stuff you can find on ebay for 1/4 the price.
seidio case
hey just got my seidio case in. ordered on the 23rd, received on 28th. nice looking case. exactly how i wanted it and covers the AT&T sign on the top if you dont like that on your tilt. i say go seidio
I like the white Boxwave - most pics are of the black. Plus the drop story has me sold...
AND I like a clip better than a holster
i plan to use a pouch type case for my fuze, but i need a screen protector that the corners, etc. won't start coming off with normal use.
if anyone has suggestions, let me know. And has anyone used the invisisheild inside a pouch case or without? if so, any feedback/advice is much appreciated

I´m using this ones since long time and work for me very good: http://www.boxwave.com/products/categories/screen_protectors.htm
Also know about this ones:http://proporta.com/search.php?q=protector+de+pantalla
Hope it helped,
I'm using Bodyguardz, and have been very impressed by both the quality and customer service. Invisible Shield's are good too, and I've used them before, but the Bodyguardz beat them in my opionion.
http://www.bodyguardz.com
I have used bodyguardz on my TP and invisible shield on my Tilt. I liked bodyguardz better since they actually give you 2 sets of full body protectors. also, the invisible shield version of the Tilt had a horrible fit. Also, I recommend using a different protector for the screen itself (I used the one that came in the box). the ones that come with bodyguardz and IS ruin the feel of the Touch Screen. In my opinion, it makes the screen have a slight rubbery feel to it. I also find, that response isn't as good. However, it BG protects the restof teh device pretty well.
I've been using the ones from boxwave since I got an axim x51v. Last time I ordered something from them, they never shipped it
I was considering the invisible shield, but it sounds like bodyguards is worth a shot.
I'd stay away from the Invisibile shield. The touch feels very rubbery, I threw it away the first week.
I've read some good reviews on Martin fields.

I already got the bodyguardz. Haven't got a chance to put it on the phone yet. You have to spray some stuff on it before applying to the phone, and they recommend not using it for 24 hours after applying. They can't be serious, how the hell am I not gonna use my fuze for a day? I'm sure i'll find a way to eventually, or the bodyguardz will sit in the top of my closet collecting dust.
i got the boxwave crystal clear. imo its pretty dang good, super clear, easy to apply, no bubbles...if you like the one that came with the fuze this one is like it. possibly more slippery i dont remember but really good. only thing is i paid for 3-5 day shipping and according to usps they got it the next day but the thing didnt get to my doorstep till 13 days later

What probably happened was the shipper printed a label and by doing so notified the Postal Service it was ready for to be shipped. However, that doesn't always mean the shipper ships it out the same day.
I have been using this protector I bought on Ebay... I bought a 3 pack back in January and still only using the 1st protector. I use my Fuze a lot and this protector is not peeling back or anything. Here is the link:
