HTC desire case thread

I need to get something other than the g1 pouch... it slipped out of the pouch yesterday and chipped the case

lixxus · 22 Apr 2010 at 19:00

ive got the zagg shield on my desire. and i dont really like it. not really smooth and has a dragging feel to it on the screen.

im thinking of replacing it. is the martin fields sp anygood and i heard people mention boxwave sp. is there anything similar to that in the UK. im not looking to wait 2 weeks for delivery.

ideally want sp that has matt type finish and leaves no fingerprints.

Seen this and think it might fit?

It's for the HTC snap, which seems to have similar dimensions

HTC Snap: 116.5 x 61.5 X 12.0 mm
HTC Desire: 119 x 60 x 11.9 mm

The other option is their iphone case
Iphone: 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm

It looks like the snap is the best, but what do people reckon?

Has anyone received their neoprene htc case from the bay yet?

Same here, I was going to wait until Wed.

Ditto - no neoprene case here.

Well came home to find it sat on the side! not a perfect fit will try and get a pic up in a bit

just saw http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320523287403#ht_4820wt_939 posted on another forum, looks pretty good!

Yas786 · 26 Apr 2010 at 18:18

Hmm if the neoprene case isnt all that then i might buy one of those...pretty cheap really.

413x · 26 Apr 2010 at 19:28

may go for one of those also, looks quite nice.. but are there button holes for the 5 hard buttons?

LiE · 26 Apr 2010 at 19:37

I'm surprised there hasn't been more official accessories considering the popularity.

mohawk · 26 Apr 2010 at 19:37

theres a hole for the sensor but not the home menu back and search buttons

413x · 26 Apr 2010 at 19:46

i think if it had the holes id def get it, im still using an actual sock!!

Im pretty sure thats a different version of the same case i posted for £3 with next day delivery, except that one goes over the buttons?

Could be wrong though..

Edit: On loading it up properly and looking i appear to be incorrect =D

Look forward to pics of this case when people get them..

Same here...quite astonishing really...its been out a few weeks now but i havent really seen any official Desire cases out...well i suppose there are a few but none of which really appeal to me.

I like the Silicone case mentioned above but doesnt seem to have cut outs for the hardware buttons on the front :confused:

Yeah, it's just the sort of thing I wanted, shame about the buttons. Then again, it's only £3.99, I think I'll give it a go.

From the pic, it looks like it has symbols imprinted where the buttons are. I will hazard a guess that you can press these "buttons" and it will operate the phone as normal.

Received mine today and to be honest it's pretty useless. Very tight and appears to leave almost 1cm overhanging, so no way I will be using it.

Ordered one of the those silicone ones about 30 minutes after receving it at £1.49 including delivery from here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180499326258. Had a look through a fair few and they all appeared to be the same design just at varying prices (if you look at some of the other closer pics it has the button imprints like the rest).
