Hi,
I have a slim TPU case for my Zenfone selfie atm (which is not too bad) but I would like to have some bookstyle housing. Unfortunately it seems there are only lots of cheap looking (well - at least they are also cheap) so called PU-leather cases. kwmobile sells a canvas case which does not look too bad - so far I found only the grey version for my model (AFAIK the selfie has the same housing as the Zenfone 2 Laser?).
I would like something that looks decent and does not look like claiming to be made of leather. If it looks like leather it should be leather - if not it should look like plastic, cloth or whatever - no problem with that ...
Does anyone know something like that? If it is expensive - at least I know which product exists ... so far I did not find anything ...
Ah - yeah ... the original from Asus does not look too bad - not sure if I like/need/want the hole - how is the quality of that?
Thanks in advance!
regards

So I have been looking for a suitable case, to fit my needs. I love the leather selection noreve has and the build quality looks awesome but when it comes to the case design i am not to much of a fan. I know casemobile and others have a vertical type slide in case which I like but the quality seems to look a bit cheaper with the side bands and so forth.
I am really looking for quality and case design like this but for the touch pro.

Just curious, what about the Noreve case bothers you?
I've used it for my Tilt and it was the first thing I ordered for my Fuze (well after the InvisibleSHIELD).
Noreve has redone their beltclip and I love it. I think it's great how the keyboard isn't covered by anything and the case is solidly snapped into the case. Even with the keyboard extended it takes effort to remove the phone from the case.
I have purchase a Nutshell case model 261 directly from Nutshell in New Zealand.

not the cheapest case but their quality is very good and you can customize it to your liking. I have selected the Industrial Steel Belt Clip with a Magnetic Flap Closure. The outer shell is made of approx 1/16" thick leather with the iner liner made of a velvet like material.
This case really looks like it will outlast the phone and model 261 is a perfect fit for the Sprint Touch Pro (CDMA)
This is my first Nutshell case but will not be my last.
The service is great, I place my order online on November 25 and received it on December 10.

Thanks , i don't know what i was doing wrong lol, too many late nights
I was not sure which one of their case would be a better fit so I email them the exact dimension of my Touch Pro (There are at least 3 sizes) and they responded with model 261.
Since they are located so far, it's better to confirm which model will fit your phone prior to the order.
Best regards from Montreal, Canada
I noticed there was a forum thread in the Diamond forum about the Decals you could get for that phone. I thought that they looked pretty mint and shot off an email to the Website enquiring if they will be doing decals for the Touch Pro. I got a response within about 12 hours saying that they should have them up in the next couple of weeks of so.
Should be good if the Diamond ones are anything to go by ...

Wow, I would love to have one of these skin on my phone. I've been looking for these (the main reason was because of the finger print magnet on my Fuze)
I've checked the one for Diamond, and it seems that they like design with skulls
Also, I've noticed that their sticker doesn't cover everything. It only covers the top surface, so that mean if you choose a white design, you'll still see black on the side (which I think it's not nice at all). To make this issue less obvious, I would choose a black design. For the price I may buy a few of them to see how it goes.
looking forward to these. I have their Ipod skin and it is very high quality!
are there skins like these for the HTC Touch Pro?
They should sell the digital background for S2U2, then maybe I would buy it, if they have one for the Touch Pro.
I'd also like to see a real picture of this on a Touch Diamond, not the fake image enhanced versions to see if the black lining is a bother or not.
i emailed them and asked for Touch Pro (or Fuze)... and this is the reply
Dear ****,
Thank you for contacting us. I am sorry we do not have that phone available yet. The skins are custom fit so the other HTC skins we have will not workfor your Fuze.

I finally didn't buy a diamond skin, because I realized that Diamond doesn't have a flash in the back... so my Fuze may look weird with those skin. Also I don't think the touch pad in front will work (with Gscroll) after applying the sticker. If that doesn't work, it will kill the whole idea of putting a design in front.
they have just increased the shipping rate for Canada... this is so wrong
Ok, here is my short impression about this decal girl
This is the one I bought
http://www.decalgirl.com/browse.cfm/4,17596.htm
I'm from Canada, so I paid the $5 shipping instead of $2.50 (I found the shipping quite expensive). And since there is no skin for HTC Fuze, I got the one for Diamond, assuming it will fit.
Pro:
1- The quality of the vynil is amazing. It's probably the same one that they use to do stickers for car.
2- The print quality is good, but not great
3- The design is unique
4- The price is cheap, compare to those which are sale $8 for a screen protector on eBay. (Except for the shipping to Canada, it's way too expensive for a small piece of sticker)
5- Magically, even if you glue the sticker on the D-Pad, you can still use the D-Pad sensor (such as Gscroll... I find this amazing)
Reasons why you shouldn't buy it for your Fuze/Touch Pro (like me)
The front:
1- If you use Manila 3D, you will have problem to match the wallpaper with the stiker. The same will apply for HTC Diamond
2- The front speaker hole isn't wide enough, so it will cover the light sensor.
3- If you have a Fuze, the corner of your device is more round, and the sticker corner is more of a square corner... and it will leave some signigicant excesses at the corners.
The back
4- There is no flash and the camera hole is at a different position on the Diamond. So the back hole for Camera will be missplaced and there is no hole for the Flash, nor the speaker...
5- The sticker come flat, but once you apply it firmly on the back cover, you'll still see the diamond sharp
6- If you look on the decalgirl.com website, you'll see that the sticker is cut at the 4 corners, so make sure you buy something dark to make it look nicer on your black battery door.
In general
7- Your Fuze is twice thicker than the Diamond, therefore the side faces will be more significant. I find it very ugly to see all the black side faces on the Fuze
8- - It doesn't provide any screen protection, so you'll have to apply the sticker on top of your screen protector, so it will be thicker. I find this anoying.
9- Shipping outside of US is expensive, but it's pretty quick... I got it only after 2 days
So bottom line is:
Decalgirls provide really good quality product, if you buy it for other device listed on their website then I think it's a good investment. As for me, I didn't use mine, so I'll find a buyer to take it off me. And since the glue on the sticker is still good, I think I won't have any problem to resell it
Thanks pandaboyy for detailed review
Sorry to dig up this thread, but the Touch Pro skins are here . Hmm, how come they don't have the ACU camo skin...

I noticed the skins are kinda lame. There are a few good ones but I don't think they're worth it. And they are also not for the ATT Fuze and its diamond back.

I want a nice all over protective leather case for the HD2 ... I just don't feel comfortable taking out without one.
The only decent ones I see are the Piel Frama ones ...
Sadly the one that Expansys do is the (in my opinion) pig ugly iMagnum one
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-hd-2-imagnum-cases.htm
This one not only looks a little industrial / hard / smooth ... but it isn't clear how it grips the device.
The Classic looks perfect ... but I can't find it in the UK ... and it's very pricey direct.
It covers nearly all the sides, clearly grips the device safely all over ... and it looks elegant.
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-hd-2-tan-cases.htm
Anyone got any other ideas ?
Pielframa
I just got my PielFrama Case for 70 Euros shipped to Thailand, it's a classic one with black-tan color, It also looks so perfect. The one I got looks exactly like the following link :
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-hd-2-blacktan-cases.htm
Will share some pics as soon as the phone arrives Thailand.
I believe any Toshiba TG01 case should fit perfectly. Obviously except silicon ones...
I know Piel Frama are expensive but are excellent quality and you get great service from them. I had one for my HD, it split at the bottom and I could not remember where I bought it. I contacted Piel Frama and within a week I had a replacement....FOC.
I like the custom version where you can choose colour and have text added, but £90!!
What's wrong with the original leather case?
It kind of like apple's, but stylish...
I ordered the Classic Piel Frama in black direct. There is a 10 day production delay which is a pain ... but it is clearly the best on the market ... it covers ever edge yet still exposes the rocker, USB, 3.5mm jack, camera, flash, ear phone and speaker.
The slip case that came with it was too tight. I know it would loosen ... but given that the smallest bit of grit in a case that tight would leave the most appalling mark, it wasn't worth the risk. I also need in protected all the time ... and I need it on my belt ... personal needs, but important for me.
Got the pair of HTC protectors yesterday. Will put one on at the weekend.
Paul.
You not able to discuss this on the Leo accessories board?
It's there for a reason you know.
I get like 10,000,000 hits at amazon (well maybe not quite that many) and would like to buy a nice looking case for the HD2 that is nicer than the rubbery default case it came with.
I looked at the HD2 accessory forum but its dead over there. Can someone throw out a couple quick suggestions?
I'd prefer a thin flip case like on the S3 but the only ones I see seem to flip from the top; not from the side.
I want something slim that doesn't look like a cheap $3 case from overseas..after putting JB on my HD2 it looks so nice I want to compliment it with a decent looking case.
Thanks for any suggesions

Take a look at Noreve cases. Don't know if they make a flip case but they do make a quality product (albeit, not cheap)

Currently sporting the Sharp Aquos Crystal (306sh) with the only case by Case Mate. I hate the way it feels but I don't know that there is a better case out there that isn't a flismy brittle third party piece of scrap. The only thing I've seen better is possibly the Tech 21 Impact Shell .(being new here I have no link privlages but it is on Sprint's website)
Anything else out there worth it?

I just receive this case: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/bellpark-ecshop/item/1-9-11-40092/
Very very great if you like flip cover: It take place instead of the original battery cover and so it's the same size (width & height) of the phone, not more (just a bit for depth).
Quality seems very good ; the black battery cover color is a black metalic, (I dont know if we can say this in English), the front cover is a dark grey cloth.
I ll tell you after some days if I m still happy !
(I tryed a plastic film before: disgusting!!)
Swweeet!! OK man, break it in and let me know. Yeah...some wraps are atrocious xp.
