what case do you use?
or no case at all?

I have both the black silicone and the clear crystal case. Most of the time I use the silicone. When I ride I use the crystal case to mount on the bike. GPS and talking on bluetooth

Nice
how is the crystal?
i'm thinking about getting one...

I like vertical pouch cases:

Personally I don't like metal cases. Had one with my Wizard and it just made the phone too big. After all, we pay loads of cash for a slim phone and then put it in a big case?!!
(not that the Wizard could ever be called a slim phone!)
Other people have posted these links before, but these are best cases around:
beyzacases - no belt clip, so just a replacement for the standard offering
Nutshell - fixed belt clip
I use the Nutshell and it really is well made and fits perfectly - well recommended.

but isn't it annoying that you need to pull out the device everytime?

Eh? You have to pull your device out of something everytime to use it, no? Flip cases, you have to open a flip. Belt clip cases you have to unclip, etc.
I had a nutshell case along time ago for my Jornada and Casio. Nice cases but they are very thick leather and not so slim-line. They are also very tight fitting around the device.
Also, cases like the PDAir hardcase take away IMHO one of the best features of the TC, the flush (no bezel) screen.

After trying many different cases, I use a Beyzacase http://www.beyzacases.com/cat-htc-touch-cruise--slimline-leather-cases.cfm and is super. Very small, stylish and has allready saved my precious Polaris from falls..

How do you attach it to your bike?

I have 2 Flo Tan
and 1 Flo Black for 40 Euro each. New Beyzacases Flip.
I will pay the shipmentcosts within Europe.

Hi, I'm searching for a case. And I'm interested in a beyzacase. But can u tell me if it has a protection foil like this one http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_img/zoom/SLTCA023700_04_L.jpg ? I don't like them because they make it difficult to use the touchscreen.

Does nobody have experiences with the Fliptype FlipSR?

Yes, I have used Beyzacase flip one. The shape and finish are good, but most flip in type case will make difficulty in launching built-in HTC cube since you have to put the finger below the viewable screen to rub upward in order to launch the cube. The case will not allow you to put your finger below the viewable screen. You have to push out the Touch Cruise a bit upward from the case so that you can have your finger rub upward from that place. I am now using the Beyza universal case so that I can take out the whole TC to use it. Otherwise you have to choose some flip in case with the the whole front screen can be scrolled in order to effectively use the cube.

I use this one.. Original HTC and leather..

PIEL FRAMA Excellent.
Believe you me, I have tried 4 alternative leather cases from PIEL FRAMA. Super service, excellent product.

I now own a beyzcases fliptype flipSR in Dark Vintage leather.
And I like it. I also can use the thouch cube, i only have to beginn at the bottom of the screen, i dont have to beginn at the touch logo

just the standard pouch included in the box

What about a Case/Cover for TP2?

All the HTC devices I've had (XDA. XDAII, Universal, Athena, Touch Cruise) have been capable of being used safely and snugly in good leather (usually Piel Frama), but none these had a slide out KB
I've seen the Kaiser clip-in solutions on the web, but I would like something with 'Bounceability'.
Any words of comfort out there?

LOL. I have been looking at those too. I thought they might get scratched as well and ending up looking a bit rough. And the cost isn't exactly cheap right? Also, do you think a clip on will work for the slide out keyboard?
^yes, a clip on would work great! I've been using a Seidio clip for my Hermes (which has a keyboard). It's one of the best for ease of use & very good device protection!

Thanks for the tip, I will look into this and see if it will work when the TP2 comes out. I am sure there will be a few nice cases when they start dispatching the TP2. Which hopefully will be very soon.
It comes with a case in the retail box. It is more a pouch, the TP2 slide in from the side.

Mine does. The problem is that you have to take the device out to use it, including answering calls or charging, maybe someone with the steady hand of a brain surgeon would be happy to do this on a daily basis, but I'd prefer to have my expensive toy safely and snugly enveloped in fine leather for all day to day use.
Agree, it should be covered like a baby all the time!

Well that's certainly true - it looks good. But it lacks a belt clip, so I don't think I'll use it that often. I don't think the case (or pouch, more like) will fit in my pants pocket and I'm sure as hell not going to carry along a purse for my phone
The Krusell thing looks nice, but it's rather expensive and I don't want to be having the thing encased forever. Just a simple pouch like the one supplied will do, but I would definately like one with a clip. Worked well for my P4350Herald, which is in prime condition after more then 2 years of use.
And also: I noticed there's no keychain attachment possible on the Rhodium. Bummer =( It saved my Herald once from being stolen out of my hands on a trainstation
Yeah I like the case that comes with the box, but as someone has pointed out, you have to take it out whenever you want to use it. It's fine at home or inside a building. But if you are walking on the road / tram / bus, it can be quite annoying
Piel Frama ( http://www.pielframa.com ) say they will have a case for the TP2 in about 15 days

Can you get full use while it's still in the case (charging, volume control, etc.)? the Piel Frama one let you use the keyboard in the case as well. I've ordered one on the basis that the extra price over another type will count as insurance

Touch Pro 2 Solid Cases?

I've noticed that there are a few companies that design solid cases for iphones and the Touch HD but not the Touch Pro 2.
Has anyone come across any?
The leather cases don't impress me, I'd much rather have a case like all those that are designed for the Touch Pro and HD.
I , too , am interested to know if anyone has seen these. I am looking for the same type of case. TIA.
now there are. silicon, aluminiom, solid rubber etc. check ebay or pdashop or brando
I have ordered one from china, via ebay, waiting for it to arrive in the post, it costed US $4. Its the hard black plastic very popular for the iphone, hope it works well for the touch pro 2, the design accommodates the slide.

it looks as if u would have to swing open the case to use the keyboard...I would prefer a peace that snaps on the top and a separate piece to snap on the back...having to open a case provides that errie momemt of vulnerability...
I got a TP2 at Telus last week and they put a hard case on it - two pieces. Only branding I can find on it is H/Vienna. Works well, has all the proper holes and such where they should be.
Wife's TP2 did something funny though - the touch screen won't work when we put the hard case back on the screen side of the phone.

I doubt there's any TP2 silicone case in the market yet (at least on ebay )!
I just bought/received a mybat black Shield Protector Case for HTC Touch Pro2 (Sprint & Verizon) I am a sprint tp2 user and this thing fits like a charm not as bulky as i expected. i bought out of curiousity. it does not touch the keys even in tilt, I have fat sausage link fingers and at full tilt the extra bulk KIND of gets in the way (top # row) not enuff to complain just mention, im not tryin to persuay anyone to buy just wondering would it be safe to use ive had it all day and only on for a couple hours in fear the these plastic cases are dangerous to my tp2 oh heres a pic. (it doesnt touch itself on the side either ive only noticed a lil itty bitty miniscule rub behind the screen on the factory plastic skin/or whatever it is i never removed it)

It takes a little time for the good cases to be designed & produced and this phone has only been out for less than 2 months in the US.
I've gone with Seidio for both my old Mogul and for my new TP2.
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/3589.htm
The case is slim so it doesn't add much bulk and the holster keeps the screen face in to protect it while it is on your belt.

Ya, I been waitin for Seidio to put out their Innocase for the Tilt2, they have it for the Verizon TP2 but that's it so far... I've used it on my old Tilt, Treo650 b4 that and after seein mine on my old Tilt my friend's all got em for their Fuze's and iPhones... They have the best cases that I've seen, especially when you use the holster w/ it. Only case I like more are the Vaja cases but I don't think they'll make a case you can use the kb w/ for the tp2...

I have something almost identical for my Tmo Touch pro 2, but the zoom bar is exposed. Got 2 on ebay for $10 for both, kb is easily accessible, has the rubberized hard plastic and doesn't add too much.
Had the same on my Nokia 5800 and they protected the phone from several long falls to the floor, never a mark on the phone.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I got the PDAir case for my 8925/Tilt:

Finally found an ideal pouch for the Hero

After trying several cases/pouches including the official C300 leather case (too bulky) and a cheapo faux leather pouch that marked the white casing of the phone I have finally found this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GENUINE-L...ches?hash=item3ca4b454a3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Its a pretty tight fit but you can yank the tab to pull the phone out.
Dammit I spoke too soon. It stained the Hero orange!
I've ordered a gel/silicone case now.

Ouch, hope you can find something that you like!
I have been in search of a good case too, and I think I'm going to go with a foof pouch from Foof Shop. Another user of these forums got it and said it fits perfectly in an iPhone/iTouch size. Just a suggestion for you, if you like the style.
It's a shame my favorite company, Switcheasy, is staying Apple only
Waiting for beyzacases myself - their diamond one was superb.
I'm using a large Luna pouch by Krusell. Paid about £12 for it on a buy it now from ebay and would happily recommend.
It's a good quality soft leather case and while it wasn't purpose built for the hero, it is as you can see a pretty snug fit

I can lightly hold case upside and gently shake without the hero falling out, but at the same time I don't need to wrestle the case to remove the phone. Only downside was the quality control sticker left a sticky mark on the leather when I peeled it off (which washed away with a little liquid soap).
Wish I had a black Hero. The white one gets marked without trying.
I might get my girlfriend to make me one of these:

MF recommends the Extra Large, for the Hero, but you mentioned only the Large.
Looking at the sizes there's only a few mm in it; I really don't want another pouch that the phone falls out of though
thanks again...
Foof is Ideal
I recommended the foof case, and the more I read with problems with other cases the more I'm glad I use this one. The interior is white fleece absolutely no chance of staining and great protection for the device. I've still heard all my notification sounds through the case and the black and white patterned cloth looks great. Its also washable.
thanks; I love the foof cases: I was going to get one for my MBP, but my wife made me something very similar herself, just as good (or better .
Which foof case exactly did you get for the Hero? How snug a fit is it?
thanks again.

I got one of these:

It fits really well and is cheap as hell. It also makes it large enough (and increases the drag coefficient enough) so that it feels secure in my old G1 pouch.

G tablet Gel Shell,Protective shell?standing shell?

I wanna to know if some guys interest it..
Protective shell is different from the case.
It can not play a protective effect on the screen. But when you're not careful knocked to the ground, it will play a role.
Or,Another function like the case, standing..
Are you guy like a case more than Shell? Or not?
update) The price..I;m not sure.. no more than $15, the manufacturer said.
I'm interested in anything that will give my tablet some protection and some way to easily prop up the tablet without having to carry around a stand.
of course color and price are also big factors.
I'd like to see a thin black TPU shell (covers sides/back with cutouts for controls/ports) that would also allow usage in the dock. Some type of integrated stand would be a plus.
I am NOT interested in plastic, crystal, silcone or gel type shells.

Reserved button interface.can be a standing.
That's would be perfect.

It's reDONKEYlous what we're willing to go through to get a case for a device. Ali, taobao merchants, etc.... Amazing how Viewsonic outsourced making of a device, ditched it and at the end never even thought of getting accessories in US, not China. Freaking Viewsonic are assholes in my book.

No ones going to make anything for the Gtablet anymore.
I would love to have a silicone cover with a strap or something on the back I could put my hand through to help me keep a hold of it one handed. I friend of mine has something similar for his Ipad and its nice to be able to hold the tab with one hand and opperate it with the other.
I purchased a rooCase from amazon, Ive had it for 2 weeks, excellent fit and contruction/material quality. All ports and speakers are accessible. Its a little bulky but not too bad. Nice tough grained leather, top notch protection. My biggest complaint is that the touchscreen is not as sensitive around the edges while in the case, but I attribute that to the gtablet not having the best quality touchscreen vs a case design flaw.

I need your opinion with different carrying solutions. Hows the china stuff on eBay?

I need to find a way to carry my phone around, especially at work. I work in a bus garage, my work is manual so I don't want the phone to be in any pocket as moving around can get annoying and I might hit my leg somewhere and damage the phone. But also in regular clothes, sometimes this phone is just to much for my jeans.
For me, finding the perfect way to carry this huge phone is the most challenging thing with it, but the size of this phone is my only negative point so I'll find a way around that.

So what are your opinons on these 3? Hows the china stuff with your experience? Should I be worried the belt clip break in half after 2days?
I've tried about 4 different china cases over the years....and 3/4 were garbage...the only decent one I had on my G2. The fit is usually too small/incorrect and i've cosmetically damaged phones in the past using them. Like the old saying goes "Ya get what you pay for." I'm by no means rich and like to save a buck when I can, but do you want to put your $600 baby in a $5-10 carriage?
1st one: I don't like that I don't see and rubber material in the case for shock absorption, just that little fuzzy "velvet" stuff. Bet it will scuff sides of phone too, had one similar before.... PASS
2nd one looks like the case for my leatherman. PASS
3rd one looks like a trident knockoff, but has the rubber/hard plastic combo that seems to work best. One thing I can't see is how big of a "lip' sticks out above screen. This is important for face-down falls. Without a good rubber lip like the Trident/otterbox cases, you WILL have damage.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out....
I've had mixed results with China cases over the years. I was suprised by the one I got for my Note 2. It was cheap, durable, and did exactly what I wanted. With my original Note I went through 2 or 3 cases before I got a good one.

The one that i am using now was from my Note 2 and it's been a year and it's still just as good. It's fits perfectly even with a back case on my Note 2 and now a bumper case on my note 3. I'm using the brown colour.....you may want the black

The majority of cases probably originate in China. I ordered #3 from your list and it should be here soon, so I can take pictures and let you know about the quality. From another auction, it shows that the lip that surrounds the screen is rather large, almost as much as an Otterbox Defender. I saw the same case on Amazon for $20, and there are a few sellers that have them less than $10 on eBay. I've also ordered a Spigen NeoHybrid because it offers the protection I need, but hopefully the corners won't pop off and crack the case near the charging port like my S4 case did.

Please, let me know how it turns out.
I'm also very interested to know how well the belt clip holds as well as the build quality of the material use for the belt clip itself, something always overlooked in product description and reviews.

I have one coming in next week hopefully. If no one has done it, I'll post a quick review. I think people should hold if they can when buying this case from China. Let other experiment to see if it works correctly.
