Decent case for my Hero in the UK? - Hero, G2 Touch General

Anyone know where I can get a decent case for my Hero? All the ones I've found online are £20ish and enclose the entire phone. I want one that allows you to use the phone while it's still in the case.
Seen a lot of ebay for £2.99 but they are all from Hong Kong with up to 14 days for delivery, I may have scratched it by then!

You could opt for one of the "invisible" plastic wraps that are available - they start at about £10, but stops the phone getting scratched at all...
Try Mobilefun.co.uk too, they always seem good for accessories:

I've ordered one of those dodgy silicon ones from Hong Kong, it will hopefully he here within the next week. I'll post a quick review when I get it.
The silicon ones at MobileFun look very good.

I have the one from MobileFun, it arrived this morning having ordered it yesterday afternoon. I got the clear one as I have a graphite hero and it fits perfectly. Has a couple of "notches" in it so you can still use the volume rocker effectively and the holes for the camera and mic etc all line up perfectly.
I highly recommend it, think it was £12.45 including delivery, which as stated was very fast, so good value too.

There is a similar on eBay to the one on MobileFun for £2.95 inc postage and the seller is based in the uk

My Hong Kong case arrived today 7 days after ordering and I have to say I'm impressed. It's a good fit and has all the relevant holes and indentations. It covers right to the screen edges.
Bargain for £2.99

I got the gel case from Mobilefun and made a mistake, ordering the black rather than the clear case. I am delighted with it - the thing arrived the next day, fits like a glove and the black is more of a tint, so my white Hero looks mighty fine in it. Highly recommended...

Help finding screen protectors in the UK

I just ordered the K-Jam which will be arriving tomorrow
Where in the UK can I find a decent screen protector for it? I would prefer an online retailer.
Thanks.
It is in Hong Kong but very reliable.
And what's important their screen protector is the best.
I only buy this one.
http://shop.brando.com.hk/screenprotector.php
It will last as long as your Wizard with no scratch.
And it is great to eliminate reflections.
There's a new one http://shop.brando.com.hk/ultraclearscreenprotector.php
But I never tried it.
Thanks. I ordered 1 of each to try. the thing is it says it will take 15 days to arrive. :shock: Must be going by surface mail
I need the protector by Monday so does anyone one have any other suggestions?
have taken the plunge and ordered the ultraclear version, delivery is said to be around 10days....
I ordered the Expansys ones.... we'll see how well that works out. Least the deliever is 1 or 2 days

as said in a earlier post i ordered from the shop quoted above, and been told by my wife that my sreen protectors have arrived today!
i wont see them myself until this evening, but i had to say how impressed i was with the speed!
ordered on the 2nd from HongKong and received in the UK on the 8th.
hope they do the job :lol:
just to finish my last post,
got home, put on the new screen protector, and it's great.
I have had three EXIM screen protectors, one for my XDA II Mini and two for mine and my dads digicams and they are the best. Perfectly clear, easy to apply, writing with stylus is normal, and you can remove and adjust them.
I have one coming for my K-JAM (one for the JAM/XDA Mini) which like the others I got off eBay. Last one I ordered (for my XDA Mini) came in 4 days!

WTB horizontal belt case with quality plastic clip

links?
I want one where the phone comes out completely naked (no covers with a detachable clip)
Hope thats not too confusing.
Personal experience/pictures welcome...
Thanks
I use a Krusell (http://www.krusell.se/productUni.php?productID=2419&category=49) with mine and it's a nice fit. I've actually used the same holder since I had a Wizard and it's lasting well.
Where did u buy it? I'm in the US where it's seemingly impossible to get accessories for this phone from anything but Hong Kong (sheesh)...
Thanks

Why not use the OEM one that came with the Kaisers? Have heard good things about them.
because I bought mine from ATT and there was no case included. I purchased their top-end leather case but when you put it in a horizontal configuration it is off-balanced and angles so that the opening points toward the floor when I have it clipped to my scrub pants in the hospital.
What's the exact model of the Krusell that will fit the kaiser? I looked on amazon and some other listed sites but there are a LOT of horizontal cases out there by Krusell.
Thanks

The link I posted is for the specific model that I use.
I'm in England and bought mine from somebody on EBay that sells loads of Krusell cases (Sorry, I can't remember the username though!)
You could try this http://www.cases.com/kr95146.htm but they seem to be on back-order at the moment.
SFPlanet.com seems to have the best prices for Krusell. I think the Tilt needs the Horizon Small/Wide.
BestBuy sells the HTC oem one. I bought one and it works well.
Horizontal with 2 magnetic fastners.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8222327&st=htc&lp=5&type=product&cp=1&id=1166840037625
Bought this one for $19.99 - can't beat that. Exactly what I wanted- horizontal, high-quality plastic belt clip.

Seidio like case, but avaliable in the UK?

As the title suggests, im about to get a new kaiser in good condition and seeing how my last kaiser faired with my lifestyle id like to get a rubberised case for the phone.
Searching & reading up has told me the Seidio case is a good idea, but shipping to the Uk doubles the price to nearly $60, a tad silly imo.
Does anyone know where i could source this case/a similar one within the UK?
cheers guys
edit:
Ebay brought up this, but at nearly £29 its too much;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Seidio-Rubber...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
please guys, someone from the Uk must have a decent rubberised case. iv read all the horror stories about the cheap ones on ebay & amazons and would like to avoid those pitfalls.
I bought twice a cheap one from China through ebay and everything was OK, including fast shipping. If you're interested, let me know and I might find the seller.
if you could that'd be great mate thanks!

I had in mind that it was from China but it was from USA. The seller was http://myworld.ebay.ch/unclesamdeal/. According to the picture on this link http://cgi.ebay.ch/Fr-HTC-TILT-8925-RUBBER-BLACK-CASE-LCD-SCREEN-PROTECTOR_W0QQitemZ390021076574QQihZ026QQcategoryZ20336QQcmdZViewItem, it seems to be the same cases i bought six months ago, without the screen protector.

I have this case. Good case but one problem. The tabs that hold the case to the phone can easily snap off so the case is not held securely on. More of a problem with the top and not the bottom but a pain none the less.
Have been looking at this case(think it comes from uk).
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=163266&sbadd=163266
with P&P comes to about £27.

Does anyone know of a decent protective case for the Touch Pro

Hi All
I have a T-Mobile UK Branded touch pro and Im looking for a half decent protective case. Similar to the seido one here:
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSR2HTFE-BK
Im not looking for an amazing one, just a decent one that will stop the phone from getting scratched that I can buy from the UK so I dont have to pay international shipping fees and that will nicely fit the t-mobile version.
Been looking for ages but they seem to be hard to come by!
Cheers
I have this case: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000365_11000370_11000580&products_id=15119. I really like it. I carry the case in my pocket at work. When I want to put it on my belt I screw in the include knob and use the included belt clip. Only $28.00 from PDair with worldwide free shipping. I can find it a little cheaper at other sites that resale it, but not by the time I add shipping. It is a little slow getting it, because it ships from Hong Kong. I have bought several cases from them over the years. I have got them in as little as three days once and once it took a week. Normally 4 or 5 days to the midwest of the US.

Well how about this for a change? Got it for 7.99 with Free Shipping (Arrived in 6 business days) and it looks like the Seidio one except way friggin' cheaper and it looks good.
NEW BLACK SILICONE SKIN CASE FOR HTC TOUCH PRO FUZE ATT
I'm sure the UK eBay would have something similar too.
The bottom one is exactly the type of thing im looking for. however anyone know of one that doesnt have to open before I can slide the screen up?
Also another problem is the back section where the gap for the camera is, as I have the t-mobile branded version of the phone i have a rectangle backing, like the image below.

No sir. It flips all the way around to the back of the phone. I got a case just like it for my 8525. I really like the design.

Looks like I may have found my case then!! Now to go for book style or the other... hmmm....
How does the phone stay in the Pdair case? Is there a plastic film over the slideout keyboard? I couldn't tell for sure from the pictures.
The best Case Ever
Hey I just got my new Kursell orbit flex case And let me say the best I have ever had it's a Stay in case with a plastic cover over the keyboard also it's a 2 part case So the front lid comes off along with slots for a micro and sd card slot in the case WoW.... Take a look

It does have the film over keyboard which isn't as comfy ad plain Fuze on itself, but out of all other cases i have seen, this one is more decent then the rest...

Seidio Innocase (AMAZING)

just got mine in the mail yesterday.
bought the black one for the Touch Pro, with the leather holster for 50$
by far thee single best case/holster combo i've ever bought for any phone
seidio makes some top of the line stuff
if you guys havent gotten one of these yet, spend the $30 and please do
the case is plastic but its coated and rubberized, so no more fingerprints and your phone isnt slippery any more, never have to worry about your chrome edges chipping or any of that.
amazing case, cant give enough praise. no pics unfortunately, but after reading a few reviews from other buyers of the same product on here, i just had to get it and now i'm recommending the same to the rest of you

Just curious, but why did you choose the leather holster instead of the matching spring-clip holster?
I used a Seidio clip holster on my Cingular 8125, and have the Innocase and clip holster combo on my AT&T Tilt.
I'm looking at getting an AT&T Fuze, and will probably get the Innocase and clip holster combo just like what I have on my Tilt.
Just like you, I really like the Seidio products that I purchased.
The only other thing I would ask for from Seidio would be to offer the Innocases in different colors like they have for the Tilts. I have a standard black Innocase on my Tilt, and my wife has a red Innocase on hers. This makes it easy for us to tell our phones apart.
Seidio has great products, I love the case + matching clip case.
I bought a combo set from seidioonline.com too bad
I don't want to say anything.Just have a look few photos my taken.

did you order the " AT&T HTC Fuze" case?? cuz that looks like it is for the Sprint Touch Pro. On Seidio's site, there are no blue cases for the Fuze. AT&T's version is a little different.
I bought a case from Seidio for my tilt and it was a really quality case that fit perfectly. I pan to get one for my Fuze too.
I get it....
I have two coupons for seidioonline.com INSIDER5 Gets you $5 off an order of $50 and INSIDER10 gets you $10 off $75.
Hurry up and use them because they expire in 11 hours! (Feb 24th, 2009 at 11:59PM)
I dont work for seidio, just purchased the innocase for my tilt a while back and get coupons in my email.
I've posted the coupons to www.retailmenot.com so check there for other coupons. (not affiliated with retailmenot.com in anyway, just think its a great site to share coupons and shopping tips on).
hope this helps some people out.

i never thought about that. that would be kool to get the case in a different color!
I, too, have the innocase + holster. Recently, the clips on the bottom half of the phone fell off. I will be contacting Seidio soon and will keep you updated on how they handle the situation. Aside from this, I love the case.
i just finished my order on a case black for att fuze and holster, does anyone have any expirience with the wear on the case from the clip?

So far , the clips & case is pretty good, I do not see any wear out.
This is the best protection for the phone I never have.
Yes the Seidio products are excellent Ive been using them since the treo 600 then 650 then 700wx.....and now touch pro....
and the product reliability has DEFINITELY INCREASED OVER THE YEARS
thought id contribute my .02 cents.
the innocase + holster is fantastic! mine came in today and boy i love it! the innocase is perfect for me. nice feel, and plus you can carry your phone around in your pocket with just the innocase.
No wear whatsoever with mine as well. I love how easily it just snaps into place. Can't go wrong!
Just got mine in the mail today. Absolutely the best thing I've bought for my TP.
I had bought the case with the hopes that I wouldn't get a heart attack every time I dropped my phone anymore, but its so nice that I don't wan't to scratch the case either haha.
Excellent quality case.
I think the Innocase looks great. Curious if one of you existing owners can answer something though. Is the texture of the case similar to those of silicone skins? Like is it sticky to the touch? Or is it smooth?
