i still cant decide whether to get a rubbery case which is translucent, a little pouch or a flip case :/

I ordered one earlier, so I might take a few pics when it comes if I remember. Could be some time though, it's being shipped from Hong Kong apparently. I also have an invisibleSHIELD on its way, but that could also take ages :rolleyes:

Silly, silly volcano

how long will we have to wait for the flexi case for desire. the current one works but is for nexus

are the rubbery case any good. i see a lot of people using them with blackberrys and they seem to work good. not damage to the phone etc

I first had a flip case for my hd2. I decided to try one after I dropped the phone while trying to prise it from the pouch.
I didn't think I'd get on with the flip but I have to say it's the way to go.

I've got the flexi case on mine and it works fine, just waiting for me screen protectors to turn up from Jersey.

Just ordered myself one of these - http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000911&products_id=28792

Here's hoping it gets to me fine.

the Krusell Luna Pouch that was mentioned by spaceman looks fantastic !!!
amazon also has one in brown , very tempting

If you like that, have a look at the Sena range. (They're for the Nexus one though....)
http://www.senacases.com/htc-cases/htc-google-nexus-one-cases/
Obviously,they can be purchased cheaper than buying direct from Sena

I don't have a HTC Desire (yet), but I've been looking for a pouch case. The Sena Elega is my favourite so far.

I ordered this case yesterday £2.95 delivered and it arrived today, was pretty impressed with that. Its for the nexus one but as a cheap case to last until i can decide on something better. Not too big and feels nice in the hand imo.

Just a few pics so you can see what its like on the phone:

Don't think i can post a link but it was called "Online HTC Google Nexus One Soft Crystal Gel Shell with Silicone Skin Core Case Cover Solid Black" and a quick google make it easy enough to find

Just ordered this screen protector - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI...._trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=2#ht_1905wt_1165

Sorry Jacob, but that looks quite tacky.

Just found FlexiShield Skin For The HTC Desire

I received this one today, a cheaper version of ebay which cost just under £3. It's not all that good looking, but it'll do the job until more official cases come out and i decide on a more permanent one.

As you'd expect the quality isn't as good, but it isn't badly made at all. I am quite impressed really as i thought it would be a lot worse.

Pictures make it look worse tbh, they were more to show how it fits. It looks nice enough on the phone imo and the fact its so cheap and got here so fast its a great case to be getting on with for now

bought one of these the other day

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360252257274&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

chose the red style, fits the desire nicely.

also a few screen protectors
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140397585852&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

but im still waiting on those to be deliverd

georges · 21 Apr 2010 at 21:16

I just bought a generic sock thing today for £3. It's pretty thick compared to the normal ones so gives enough protection imo for now till the proper cases come out.

Anyone know where I can get the Nexus One pouch that comes with the phone for the Desire?

Love that pouch!

LiE · 22 Apr 2010 at 10:36

Don't think it's posssible, I've already asked HTC.

You cant unless you have a Nexus One...HTC ask for the IMEI number.

And if so - are they any good?

They are good albeit expensive...i had one on my BB Storm2 and it was a royal pain in the arse to put it in...you need to have the patience of a saint in all honesty.

Its just a shield made out of some sort of plastic that covers your phone...it wont protect the phone if you drop it

...also i ended up taking mine off as it has an orange peel effect on the screen...didnt like it at all.
