Does anyone know if HTC will ship the ratail non-branded Touch PRO version with a case?
I only want to get a simple slip-in case that protects the PRO when in a pocket or anything. For usage I would just take it out of the case.

It is going to be shipped with a case but probably not what you're expecting.

As long it is some case that allows you to put it in and out I am fine - at least it is a case...
Case
It's not really a case - more like a slip. You can't attach it to your belt.
I'm off to buy a decent case for it.
Yep, it's literally just a leather "tube" that you slide the Raphael into, with a ribbon stitched inside to stop it sliding out of one end. Snug fit though, so it wont be sliding out too easily anyway. Pics (taken with a Diamond) attached...

Yep, that's what came with my UK Raphael.
And thanks grahamrb, should have done that myself!
Is it leather? I hear is more like soft plastic or something...
Seems like leather to me. It's well made and protects the phone well but you just cannot connect it to your belt.
From the pics it's seems a great case.
I hate those cases that had a belt clip, for example for the Prophet, yuck!!
I hate them belt clips to and besides that the risk of losing your phone get's even bigger.
Always in my pocket and guard it with my life

I like the case very much, it keeps the overall size of Phone+Case down as much as conceivably possible. I don't think I need to purchase a new case, unless of course someone teases me with a better one!
Here is a link to a Belt case that HTC should be producing:

I would love to see these cases for the Diamond/Pro:

In custom colours like VAJA offers them...
Anyone know of any other suitable cases that mount on a belt horizontally?
I have the case that came with the Touch Pro and, all in all, it's good quality except it's just a slip and is a bit tight, i.e. can't get the phone out quickly.
There was a leather version of the official case advertised which looked better than the soft version (which seems to open around the edges for my liking and that material doesn't offer enough stiff protection), but that seems to have vanished.

Yep, that's the soft material one which doesn't look like it gives much protection, also seems quite open at the bottom, probably only an elastic strip in the middle.
There was a leather case being advertised but that seems to have gone now.

These are very nice! I'm a bit skeptical though about the magnetised studs to close it, could they cause problems with the memory (internal or cards) due to the magnetic field? Anybody have experience with these either way?

I just got my ghost armor in the mail today, it is actually front, back, and then smaller side and top, bottom pieces. I'll see about posting some pics when I install it. Not going to do it tonight, am very tired and don't want to screw it up.
Someone in the Invisible Shield post promised to post pics, but never did. I too was really curious how it looks, since I have never seen one in person.

Pictures for Invisible Shield (Full Body) on Fuze
Hi all,
Here is my Fuze that i covered with Full Body Invisible Shield. I like it, made it feel rugged and i can really put it at any surface now without worrying about scratching the sides. The four points or should i say eight points of the phone corners are not that protected. The IS has been covering my phone for almost 1 month.
I also increased the brightness and contrast of the pictures when i uploaded it so you guys could see the IS better.
I bought this so called "free lint cloth" from WalMart, but lo and behold, it's not actually lint free, it HAS lots of lint when i used it. So on the back of my Fuze, you will see a few white dots, those are the lints from the cloth. Well, lesson learn, gotta make sure it's lint free cloth
Hope the pictures help. But overall, i really like my IS.
thx for the pics - i wish someone would jsut release a decent non-glossy backcover replacement already for the fuze - i dont want to deal with protecting the back faceted stuff at all.
Do you find the screen protecter to reduce the screen sensitivity/scroll speed at all? The stock screen protector ive found to do this a little bit with my stylus input.

Looks good. I will very likely order one as soon as I get the Fuze. Your pics definitely helped me make my decision. It's hard to believe Invisible Shield doesn't have pics like that on their site, so customers can get a real look at what it looks like installed.
Thanks again!

It felt kinda weird after i first applied it, for the first week i would say, the IS feels alien sort of to the Fuze, but after that i let it cured under a desk lamp every night. During this time, i almost think about removing it and not using it, but i let it go and just wait after a few days and voila, it's really becoming the skin of my Fuze.
The screen becomes a little bit sticky with the stylus, i do have to get used to it, but after the first week, everything is good.
Eh. invisibleSHIELD doesn't do it for me. I'm ordering bodyguardz. It looks to unprecise.

Thank you so much for posting those pictures, it does worry me a bit that the corners are exposed, you would think that the corners would be the first to hit the ground when dropped but the good thing is that IS doesnt add bulk and allows the fuze to keep its good looks , leaning towords IS but have to do just a lil bit more research

would you consider bodyguardz has the most accurate precission compared to IS, ghost armor, and whatever else? I'm still trying to find a skin that is _specifically_ made for fuze and covering the corners as well.
i am thinking of getting bodyguardz.. been using them ever since
dont like Invisbile shield anymore but the back is good. front sucks
ghost armor never heard of them... might try it.

Insible Shield in Malls
I'm in the LA area and Invisible Shield has kiosk in some of the malls. You can se/touch/feel, etc.. it first hand. I looked at it and am going to have them (they cover the phone in about 45 minutes) my FUZE.
@cyberblue
So far, none of them covered the corners >.> none that I could find. This is because it would peel at corners and come off because they are round and not dead flat straight like the diamond is. There might be later. I ordered Bodyguardz after looking at the pictures and seeing that it looks much tougher and protects MUCH more area. and the invisible shield looks like crap. It is not fit for the fuze. Looking at the pics posted by someone on this forum, You'll notice that the screen protector and the front panel covers are not curved for the fuze. They're just straight.
***EDIT***
I'm curious. Since invisibleSHIELD usually has the correct dimensions and to the looks of this picture, it seems that the OP bought a touch pro body cover instead of a fuze body cover. I think that is a camera hole by the AT$T logo. But I'm not sure. I'll pm the poster of these pictures.
Pic:
Yea,
I did buy the Touch Pro GSM version of IS. Indeed, there is a hole in my AT&T logo, the IS had hole in it, i should have just put the small IS holeto cover it , but my mistake, i threw it out and i forgot about it.

links to said case?
AT&T sells a hard/rubberized case for around $25, but I strongly recommend against using them. As much as I hate carrying around a phone without a case, I have all kinds of issues with screen sensitivity whenever a snap-on case was on my Fuze.
Pressing on the top corner of the case would activate the Start Menu, the edges of the screen would become less sensitive... to the point of actually needing my stylus.
In addition, the nubs on both halves of the case press against each other, and actually separate the phone a little bit.

One more thing to add to NATF's message....
Hard snap on cases scratch the hell out of the sides of the phone. Tried a few diff ones and not ONE left the oem case intact. I think its because sometimes dust gets between the case and the hard case and scratches it up. I just use a screen protector and a leather carrying case these days.

Same here. Actually, since AT&T didn't release a leather pouch for the Fuze, I'm still using the one from my Tilt.
The Seido hard innocase it super thin, does not scratch the fuze at all, and is worth the money.

I have this exact case and have been using it since I got the Fuze. I have the other case as well, still sitting in plastic.
I had to make a mod to mine. The usb mini sync/power cable didn't fit right, so I had to trim a little there.
I like this case. Plenty of protection, for both the screen and the button/d-pad area on the bottom. Not the most attractive case, but works very nicely for a soft rubber case.
Just my .02
I used to use this exact same case but didn't like it. Like previous poster mentioned the charger port is kinda blocked off but a lil alteration helped fix that. The biggest problem i had was how it attracted dust and lint way too easily which really made it look bad.
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody has ever come across a single piece silicone skin that will fit the Touch Pro. I recently had my phone in my pocket, and got a bit wet, and had problems with the bottom right button until I dried it with a hair dryer.
There seems to be plenty of skins on eBay etc, but they are two part with lots of cut outs, and wouldn't protect the phone from damp conditions. What I'm looking for is a single piece skin with just cut outs for the screen, mic, earpiece and and speaker to protext the phone from the damp as much as possible.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Steve.
Wouldn't a single piece skin make it impossible to slide open?
Yes, which is why I'm probably struggling to find one, but there are plenty of phones without slide-out keyboards that manage ok. If I'm going on a bit of a hike/trek then I'd happily live without the ability to slide the keyboard out for the extra protection.
Cheers,
Steve.
I posted this on another page, if you do a search on Amazon for Touch Pro cases, you will find a LOT of cases. Some I picked up for about .99c. And, I bought about 3 of them which were rubberized cases. The way the case stays on the TP is that it has a joint at the top and bottom of the two pieces of the case.
I've seen the cases on Amazon, and eBay, and the silicon ones seem to come in two pieces, one for the top half and one for the bottom half? I think to offer any protection from moisture, it would be better in a single piece - I'm wondering whether one for the Diamond would fit, although the diamond is about 7mm thinner, so I doubt it.
I guess I'm just out of luck.
Cheers,
Steve.
How do you get as single piece on a device with a slide-out keyboard?
I think you are missing my point. I'm saying that I'm happy to have a case that, while it's on, I'm happy not to be able to slide out the keyboard.
Cheers,
Steve.

Then i'm completely confused as to why you'd want a phone that HAS a slide-out keyboard but you want a case that makes it unusable. Why not just go with a phone that doesn't have a slide-out keyboard?
It's very simple. I have a Phone with a slide out keyboard (which I love - I think it's great, and I wouldn't want to change it for one that doesn't have a keyboard). If I go on a hike where I might get rained on, I'd like to take my phone, but I'd also like to offer it as much protection from the rain/damp as I can. For the duration of the hike, I don't mind not having access to the slide out keyboard, because it has a perfectly functional on-screen keyboard that I can use if I really need to.
I could get a waterproof wallet for it, but I think that's a bit impractical and bulky, so I was wondering whether I could get a one-piece silicone case for it, only to use while out on a hike. That's all.
Cheers,
Steve.

Check out this one if you haven't already. It's a bit bulky, but you can talk without removing it from the case.

Thanks for the link - I think that case, along with all the other silicone ones I can find specifically for the Touch Pro are split to allow the keyboard to slide out, which won't offer as much protection from moisture as I would like.

Well, you will probably not make your touch pro water resistant with a case...but I'd say this "armor" does make it tough to break.

This is definitely not a good case. It has to flip open to use the keyboard.
I hope these come out soon. I really dislike how slick the entire phone is. When trying to have a phone conversation, and trying to rest it on your shoulder, holding it between your shoulder and face, it slides right out...
Same here. TMo was suppose to start doing the custom printed covers, but they are slick as well. It was 100 degrees yesterday and sweat doesn't help when you're trying to silde it open one handed either. TMobile has a rubberized shell for it, but it was way too bulky.

Yeah, I meant to mention those "skins" too, I am not a fan of those. One of my praises for this phone was it's slim profile, and adding one of those skins would make it just that more bulky. I like the material on the back of the Droid.
I like the battery cover on the back of the original MyTouch 3g, other then the fact that it slides open way to easy...

Have y'all looked into eGrips. Might be worth it for now.
Well again, those I am not a fan of. First: I am not sure how those attach, and if it is simply a stick-on, I'd hate to have it leave a residue when you go to remove it. And since it's a cover on a cover, it starts increasing bulk. If someone would come out with a replacement cover, just in a different material, I'd be happy
Edit: I also don't want something that would make it a pain to slide in and out of my pocket... those super grippy type covers do just that. They're great at keeping them in place on a car dash, or on your shoulder, but it's likely going to turn your pocket inside out, leaving you open to being bum rushed when the change falls out of your pocket.

Eh, maybe I am old fashioned, but I hate headsets more than the battery cover I rarely use the phone in my car, so I see little use of the headset. Actually, I only use the headset when listening to my music.
OH, which BTW, if you used Subsonic, now you can browser your server using the phone's browser since it has Flash support, no need for the Subsonic app Maybe I'll post that in the apps thread...
The phone is great but it is way to slippery.
I was thinking of maybe taping off parts of just the back cover and spraying on a product called Plasti Dip just to give it a thin rubber coating.

I was thinking of maybe taping off parts of just the back cover and spraying on a product called Plasti Dip just to give it a thin rubber coating.

I'm very familiar with plasti dip, and thats not a bad idea...
I put on some ghost armor on my device. It makes it a little more slip resistant. It was at one of the mall shops at a local mall.

Agreed on the slippin slide. I have a bench seat in my truck so i have to keep a t-shirt on the seat to hold my phone in place. (while streaming pandora into my stereo!)
So since gel skins have YET to show up at my T-mo store... I have been contemplating how to spray paint it or rubber coat it... If someone is bold enough I would love to see the photos.
Here are the potential problems
1. the holes in the back for the speaker.. we can porbably just poke them out with a pin after spraying.. hopefully it still looks pro
2. i started to pull off the front plastic and it seemed like the plastic screen cover was connected.. not sure if I want to mess with that... but it might look lame if the front doesnt match.
Possible anti-slide solutions...??
- some sort of stick on rubber tread that looks cool??Maybe if we find a cool piece of rubber tread that is made to stick on or we glue it one it could look cool and stop the damn phone from sliding.
p.s. my dream would be for someone to make a metal cover like the nexus (no i dont want a nexus I just like the finish that looks like an adults phone) with rubber tread lines built into it.. maybe I need to find a manufacturer. ..
I hate the slick back cover as well, i miss the cover on my G1 its the non-slick bio-hazard one. just the type of grip makes it great to slide in and out of pocket, less scratches, easier keyboard slide out.
Its too glossy for my taste i have to wipe the whole phone when im done with it for the night to make sure the finger prints are gone, gets annoying.
i'm looking for a nice matte cover as well, i hate the slickness(i dropped my phone because it slid out of my pocket). worst case scenario i might grab a replacement black one and sand it to a matte texture.
I am about to spray it with a satin black car trim spray... and if that doesn't work the next step will be a rubberized spray I think... Will post if it doesn't look like complete garbage lol
Well I hate to get ahead of myself but here is my rubber coated battery cover.. I am still waiting so patiently for it to completely dry. If what I used works then I will post a photo how to . Hang in there!

What product did you use on that, and did you tape off the holes or just poke them out with a toothpick type device?
