HTC desire case thread

Got myself a Desire and really need a case.

What's the verdict on best cases. Ideal want one that shows all buttons and rubber.

Cheers
 
It is a fairly tight fit but it will loosen with a bit with wear. It has a nice new leather smell.

That's all the protection I need. :)

Got one of these this week and pretty impressed with it. Pretty snug fit but feels good in the pocket.
 
Some comparison shots of my proper Nexus One pouch against the one I got from HK a while back.

Nexus One pouch, slightly smaller in width and slightly longer as well with more of a snug fit.

HK pouch, slightly shorter in length and wider, not as snug but still a good fit, would be able to use it with a case on the phone as well I guess.

If anyone wants the HK pouch, I will give it away for free! =P

Are they made of the same material? I find the HK one creases quite easily and marks.
 
Gelaskins website from Canada, about £12 iirc and just under a week to arrive.

How on earth did you order off their site? Every way i try (paypal / cc) it comes up with either a postcode error, or a credit card number error, yet i input both details correct.

Really annoying, as i want a skin!
 
Any good flip cases you guys could recommend for my dad? He doesn't like taking the phone out the pouch every time he uses it. :(

Found this, not tried it but bought something similar from them for an N95 a few years ago, and it was very well made:

Personally this looks more to my taste, but I'm reluctant to buy without hearing from someone whose tried it:

I just received this case from eBay, very good quality actually and I think it may just replace my day to day usage of the Android pouch (will leave that in the car!).

It seems to protect the Desire quite well and the finish is the same as the Desire itself but I don't know how long the rubberise finish will last as it's quite slim.

If anyone wants a gelaskins style sticker/decal for theirs, I've ordered one from 'Unique skins', which cost $10 delivered which is considerably cheaper than gelaskins.

Is there a UK store/supplier for decals that anyone knows of?, I'm terrible at waiting!.

Also, I have a desire on the way, so I'll need to buy a case and screen protector, I wonder could anyone recommend the thinnest possible decent quality soft gel/silicone case?. The phone will be living in my pocket, and I accept that it's never going to be comfortable :P, But I'd like to add nothing, or virtually nothing whatsoever to the existing dimensions. I'm just looking for basic protection, mainly from pocket rash. Many of the cases seem to look too thick for me (like 1.5-2mm or something daft).

Also, which screen protectors are people having the most success with? (in terms of touch screen sensitivity).

Any advise appreciated :).
 
What you guys recon to this that I made. I stayed simple to see what it would look like, but I'm considering personalising it, and making something funky. Its just a carbon fibre weave.

another question, if i bought a skin for my desire, would it also fit inside one of the nexus sleeves, or is it one or the other?
Would mind one to protect it a bit more in my pocket. Or will a screen protector be sufficient.
