Looking for hard shell cover with NO grip - HD2 General

Hello,
I have T-Mobile HD2 (US) and currently using this case with clip PDAir/Monaco case which fits perfectly and overall is good.

But ... I also want to double protection with some kind of plastic hard shell. I will be using hard shell TOGETHER with PDAir case (this case has stretchable sides). I used same kind of setup for HTC HD.
Now ... ideally this plastic case would be Capdase Alumor HD2
but unfortunately because of size difference it does not fit perfectly on T-Mobile's version on HD2 (1.5mm taller) and when I emailed Capdase they told me that there are NO plans to make version for T-Mobile HD2
So I'm stuck with eBay and such What I need from this case is preferably protection of corners, no bulk and .... case should not be GRIPPY !!! I mean, no unti-slip coating. The reason ... silicone and such are grippy and give trouble when inserting/removing it from PDAir case. I dont want that ! I want it glide Or at least similar to back cover of HD2 itself.
So those resin/selicone/etc cases on eBay - they are out.
Having said that ... any advice ?

expensive hard case
I saw this. It is expensive, but it does fit really nice.

There is no clip and it is hard to take HD2 out. I prefer slip-out cases like PDAir.

Thanks for the info ... it is hard to see on eBay and on your pics ... does this case cover corners ?
I was looking into this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310213338924&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
and it does not cover corners.

It does cover the corners although the top and bottom are open...it also will NOT fit into a dock I purchased with the case on but will if I take case off...but fits in and out of the leather holder on my belt fine with no "sticking"....I'll try to take some better pics of top and bottom at corners...problem is the phone is my main camera and older phone takes crappy pics. On other hand it was only a $3 case and came with a screen protector so not alot at risk.

I would really appreciate better pictures of top/bottom. Thanks in advance !
Does it look the same as here (there are good pictures already):
http://cgi.ebay.com/HARD-RUBBER-MAT...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item27b0ebcdd9

I have the black gel skin that T-Mobile sells for this phone. It is very smooth and not at all grippy, and allows the phone to slide easily in and out of my pocket. (Compare this to the ribbed, rubbery, and very grippy skin that came in the box with the phone.)
Edit: I see you specified "hard shell" so I guess this doesn't fit the bill.

I refuse ebay. I ordered this Fommy, but it didnt come in yet. The Alumor would be great if it fit.

Default/Standard/Bundled/Free/Generic case.
I have Covertec black leather case...
very nice case.. I've had it since August, and it is still in a great condition...
Build quality is very good.. and it's way much better the the standard case for the JAM.
it also has 2 mini pockets for your extra memory cards... I usualy keep my music stored in a seperate SD... and thus, this case becomes quiet handy :wink:
i have the one it came with which i barely use, and also i bought the silicone one which i dont use much either because it sticks to clothe so its tough to put in/out of my pocket.
Here's mine! Krusell is very comfortable. Using it couple of months. Still good!
stratoboom: that's cute, where'd you get it?
I have a silicon case which is ok, but in the end I just found some adhesive foil which I covered the back of my magician (and ipod) with. It looks similar to the original and protects it when i throw it on the desk. It's useless for shocks/drops, but then I never touch my phone without slipping my finger through the loop.

I love mine with a silicon skin. The one I purchased from ebay is the thin silicon skin that comes in 5 colours ...didn't like the one with the protective screen cover, too thick the skin.
The skin makes my phone-PDA stands out..whenever I take it out to answer phone or use the PDa function, everyone nearby just stares at it :-D
O2mini_noob: I got a silicon one in pastel blue and white. Haven't used it for a while, I'll have to pull it out again!
V
the pastel light blue I am using at the moment..it makes my o2 mini look like light bluish grey which is very striking.
The flourescent green and pink look outstanding too although pink is more suited for gals.
i found it on ebay.
it's great.... first days plastic is very heavy and sometimes there is not contact between stilus and screen
after couple of days, leather and screen cover get magicians shape and now i use only my fingers ; )
the best case i ever buyed.....
Boxwave Flexiskin is amazing..I just put it on today...looks like by far the thinnest skin you can find for the Magician. Whereby most silicon skins today add weight and thickness to the Magician plus not contoured to fit charging cradles..the Flexiskin from Boxwave makes you feel like you're using a naked mini.
The button skin is incredible...you can actually feel the symbols on those buttons. It is the must have skin !!
My pocket is 2 small 2 plus a case on XDAmini......
I use a Piel-Frama Case (did so with my old iPAQ too) and I love them. They may be a bit expensive but are worth every penny. I got a black leather one though.
Hi,
I have the same as your with a slight modification.
I have cut out the plastic front to give acess to the screen.
and added a hard leather cover for the screen
Regards
And this is the reason (the case) why i dont want to replace my JAM to KJAM...

i had this case and absolutely hated it. first up, i hated having to always open the cover to access the screen (it was a process). secondly, it made my Jam a lot bulkier looking, and a lot of my friends would comment that i look like a "moron" with the case on my phone. i ditched and i got a silicone case with an attached belt clip. i garner a lot more respect now. 8)

Hey Private-Cowboy, I have a Piel Frama for my Mini too!
But it's the two-toned black/tan one.
Anyone here using a Vaja?
here is mine. a tad too bulky, but i like it. Makes the phone quite bit thicker.

Shop or ebay? got any pictures? I've been thinking about getting a silicon cover as I currently only use the cover which came with my mini.
cheers, marto
I've tried a few cases and by far the best is the CAPDASE. It's an Aluminium case with a double hinge. Only fault is the window is smaller than the Pdair and is offset to the left.
My main criteria for a case is that it must protect the PDA, be easy to use and not bulk up the unit as did the pdair case.
I also had to make a minor modification in order to get access to the stylus. Otherwise a great case.

Jam housing

Is there a "how-to" here on how to change the housing on an xda II mini or a Jam..or has anyone done it? They have housings on ebay, but wanna make sure i know how to change it before i go ahead and buy any...
Thanks
Really I couldn't find any on eBay. How much did you see them for? What did you search for?
The only place I can find them is Apex Laptops and they want £95 for one!
Mine is a bit beat up now and contract is nearly out so I'd like to smarten it up before selling it.
If you look on the wiki there are some pictures of the inside but I don't think there are any instructions. I tend to just unscrew stuff and sellotape the screws to some paper with little diagrams of where they came from.
There is a detailed document at this forum with pictures on how to disassemble your phone. Should help you to get the cover off/on.
Anyway, depending on how bad your cover is, you might want to consider a US$10 options of skinning it at www.skinit.com. It looks good on the page, but I'm not sure how good the quality will be. But, anyway, as long as it looks alright

That's just for the front and back cover mind, no chassis. Quite like the look of the black one.
I bought some *blue* typhoon sp3 cases from them once - they weren't new or in great condition, chip marks where the casing had been prised open, and from the look of the foam surrounds around the screen they'd def. previously been fitted to a phone :evil:

Doh! I've already ordered one :-(
I don't think the lack of new chassis is a problem since the case is identical to my MDAC I shouldn't need a new chassis. But does mean it's quite expensive though. But still less than a third the price of Apex Laptops.
I'll post if it's in new or second hand condition when it arrives.
Did you go for the dark housing.
I was lucky to get a late model MDA compact when I was out in china. Looks nice in the darker colour although I have started to use a black skin and some screen protectors as this phone really scratches easy.
I would like to see if the replacement cases are any good as well ?
I went for the silver one. I was tempeted by the black one but it's for selling not for me so better to stick with normal colour I think...
Also I see they have 87 of the sliver ones available so I think it's unlikley it will be used like the typhoon case was.

I've bought a black one. They have nearly 100 typhoon cases in each colour listed at any one time. Must cost them a fortune in ebay fees as no more than 10% of the listings sell!
Richard
hmm...
i droped my mini today, now theres a big ass sctratch on the top left...
*sigh*...
well would like to know if these cases from that ebay store fit, tell us when you fit that case -).
Whitemoo...
I wish mine had just a scratch... My Qtek looks like Rambo's mobile!
The inner plastic lining of the battery cover broke, so i had to bend it slightly - now it stays in place, but with a nice, big bump on the side edge.
Am very interested in knowing if the ebay housing fits (not to mention how the more talented tecchies here removed the screen). Was also thinking, after having seen personalizations of other xda's, of covering it with fabric material (I'm thinking STRIPEY!!!) and clearcoating it! I've already done this to my bass guitar, inpired by a tutorial over at projectguitar (http://projectguitar.com/tut/mat.htm), although I chose a less... "brave" material design...
Skinit
Just a word of warning, I bought a 'skin' from skinit. They are simply awful. They only cover the flat and even bits of my Qtek S110. Corners and sides, no. They may work better with a flat PDA or mobile with no rounded bits.
Still interested in this thread about getting a new case, keep it going please!

I just called them to confirm and they told me it does open properly with the case on. And paying 24.99 for a crystal case is rediculous.

I've seen those. What I'm more referring to is comparing it with and without the case. Same picture, two phones (or photoshopped together). Just to give a bit of scale to it

I just got mine the other day from eBay, and the front face doesn't fit all the way on or stay on. I'm going to have to return it and find another one.
I've finally tested this case for more than 10 minutes and I really hate the fact that the edges are not beveled in, making it extremely hard to use my fingers to press the softkeys on the screen, onscreen scrolling and some slight awkwardness when pressing the outside buttons.
Mine was also made of white plastic, so it has this ugly white lip around the edges.
After removing my BodyGuardz skin, the case fits snugly and is very hard to remove (I accidentally cracked the lower piece while removing)
Oh well, you get what you pay for. Time to read up on Seidio cases
http://www.wirelessaccessories.com/... 8925 - TyTN II - Kaiser&sfid=134039&c=164107
I've used these for my last 2 devices. I don't recommend the rubberized as they scrape up easy. While you get what you pay for ($5.95 + ship) so I buy several. I prefer the protection from scratches and ease of use . It does make getting to buttons a little harder, I agree.
I went on Ebay and got a clear one for around $4 shipped. looks decent, works, only thing about the clear ones is that dust tends to collect under them and phone looks dirtier. a quick clean and back to new. i dont recomend dropping the phone using the case, but in all honesty i dont recommend droping the phone all together.

Need some opinions on this silicone case ...

I am interested in buying this silicone case for my AT&T Tilt from eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Silicone-Case-f...ryZ15036QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I was hoping if anyone else purchased it would recommend it or not?
Also, if anyone else knows of any other silicone cases out there, please post to let us know. I did not discover too many types of silicone cases myself.

$4.50 for a silicon case? Well, I suppose even if the case is poor quality, you won’t greatly out of pocket.
That picture on ebay is pretty bad. I can hardly distinguish the silicon case from the device itself

Yes, I do think it is one of the best. It looks like it offers more than adequate protection without compromising its lightness in weight. I will look to order this particular case next week when shipping begins (according to one of the members)
My last question about the Seidio case is that is it a snap on case? I have bought a case previously for HTC Wizard and the little plastic things that are supposed to the cover on the phone broke.
- TKN
I don't know what you mean by snap on case. Remember that the case is rubber and not plastic.
Perhaps if you refer to the thread below, you may find answers to your questions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352605
A whole thread is being devoted to discussing this particular Siedo case already
Try this one!
Don't know if you're dead set on a silicone case for your phone but i personally went for a crystal hard case as the silicone cases don't really work too well with these phones as there is an open end on them in order for the keyboard to slide, plus i couldn't really find one that i liked the look of.
So i got one of these from this seller in Hong Kong... arrived in 4 days and the quality is excellent!
Have dropped it once and there was no damage to the case or phone. Even came with a screen protector too!
Crystal Case Kaiser

I too bought one of the crystal hard two piece case for my Kaiser. I was a little iffy when I got it out the packaging at first but it is now top of my eBay best ever purchases list.

Crystal Case+Screen Protecter for HTC TyTN II/2/P4550
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/AccessoriesShopHK
It not only creates a plastic protective environment for the phone that is not in the least intrusive to every day use, but without wishing to sound in the least vain, it makes the phone look utterly gorgeous and yummy. I have had many comments since using my Kaiser in public, but over the last few days several people where I hang out have wondered what the hell phone I was using to type on.
Point is...GET this item if you want to protect your phone and at the same time enhance its looks.
I bought that silicone case you linked to and let me tell you that thing is horrible. The fitment is all loose and it basically falls off.

anyone know where i can get another original screen protector that came in the box? i liked how u couldnt even tell it was on there, and how it was made of a hard, almost, thin glass, type of plastic. Unlike most of the other screen protectors that are thick and bendy.
any ideas? or anywhere that sells ones VERY VERY similar to the original?
thanks!
I've been thinking the same thing, hopefully one of the many guru's here will have an answer!
Me three! Surely someone sells the OEM one. Post, people! Tell us who!
I know the OP asked about the OEM screen protector, but i've been using these on all my portable devices and they are quite literally the best screen protectors i have ever used. When applied correctly there is zero distortion and the screen looks exactly as it is without the protector.

Its a bit on the pricey side but last night my fuze slipped outta my hand, did a nice midair tumble and slid screen-down across the edge of my desk leg, it only got a slight scratch that i buffed out with plastic polish
I'll be happy to snap some pics if you guys are interested.
I will update that a friend of mine who also owns a Fuze called HTC to ask them if he could purchase another OEM screen protector and the customer service person he spoke with told him they do not sell them separately but that he should check daydeal.com if he wanted the OEM screen protector. So, he took that to mean the ones daydeal.com has for sale for the Fuze are the same ones HTC supplies with the phone.
I cannot confirm this as the one he ordered has not arrived yet but I will try to remember to post here when I hear from him on these.
What about InvisibleShield? Anyone using that one?

These have worked out well for me. The anti-glare ones work very well.

I had the invisibleshield one but found that it was too grippy and it wasn't as clear as i hoped it would be. I've got 2 pictures here, you can see the optical clarity in the 2nd picture by comparing the reflection of the cologne bottle in the screen with the actual bottle. The screen protector covers both the screen as well as the buttons.

I found that my invisible shield one has a bit of a orange peel finish on it which i didn't like too much. This one is actually smoother than the screen naked.

Update: He received the screen protectors he ordered from daydeal.com and by the looks of them, they are essentially the same as supplied with the Fuze from the factory. He and I both looked at it and it looks and feels the same. If you like the OEM one, I suggest ordering from daydeal.com if you need a replacement. And no, I'm not affiliated with them. Just passing along the info.

I just ordered one of these and will post the results one I get them.
i second the boxwave one. its friggin clear and easy to put on

however, shipping is hella slow
but really nice product
i got the 3 pack and screwed up the first one but totally worth it
I ordered these from daydeal and would NOT state that they are 1:1 compared to the shipped one. HOWEVER, love it. It's a slightly different material (kinda anti glare but the "blur" is fully acceptable for me) and I had some concerns reg. finger friendliness but that's not the case. Stylus operation is easy (by far not so rubbery as the invisible shield). Form, fit and applying was very easy (much easier than the stock one). I bet Martin Shield is the best but I still think money well spent. On top, not so prone to fingerprints as the shipped protector.
good or better than OEM protector
I concur that this screen protector from DayDeal is as good as or better than (in my opinion) the original OEM protector that came with my Fuze.

I ordered only one last week, but I may order a few more just to have them on the ready.
