The Best Leather Case Available for TouchHD! - Touch HD Accessories

I have been searching online retailers and local shops for a leather case for my Touch HD but to no avail, until I have found this in one of the mall in the Philippines while on holiday. I believe this is one of the best genuine leather case available for the HD regardless of the price. The best part of it is the price: Only USD15.00
The leather is not stiff but smooth and soft. The stitching is very well done. All phone controls and buttons are all accessible.
Check out the pix to have an idea how amazing this leather case is.
The pictures does not include the belt clip which also serves as headset/headphone cable organizer. Very, very neat!

looks good, do you know who manufactured it?

It's Capdase. They actually have cases for all other phones including, iphone, blackberries. I actually bought similar cases too for my Blackeberry bold and Nokia 5800.

I'm wondering whether this leather case could be made compatible with Krusell's Multidapt mounting system, so it could be used with their car and bike holder kits. Could you maybe give me the exact dimensions of the swivel thingy that I suppose gets screwed in the back of the case?
Here's the corresponding Krusell data:
outside-diameter (top 2mm): 12,5mm
outside-diameter (lower 2mm): ca 9,5mm
inside-diameter: 7mm
also, do you know what kind of screw is used?
here's a pic of the krusell belt kit (the swivel thingy I'm talking about is obviously the second from the left):

Whoooa! The last pic, where it shows th case being used as a stand raises it's value a lot

Where can we buy this product ??
it's very usefull

I believe it will not be compatible. I am at work now, I will post additional pictures with belt clip on and the screw itself. I have had Krussel before but it is not as well designed as the belt clip that comes with this Capdase case.

I bought this in a mall in the Manila, Phils. I have search the web but it is not available. Maybe you could try search "Capdase" in Ebay. Even in Manila, it is not readily available in most shops, you really have to ask for it.

I will try to post additional pictures when I get off from work. But I can assure that it still fits my front pocket comfortable without looking happy to see everybody ....I never use the belt clip and screw so that's helped a lot in terms of pocketability.

has anybody bought one of these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=360140956080
i was thinking about it for my hd.

I got this one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.de/Edel-Handytasc...=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1239309323&sr=1-3
Really strong leather which protects the screen and easy to get out.

That's a great one at great price too. I think I've overpaid for my Noreve case and it took them a month to deliver

I use a simple leather case to protect my HD. Bought on ebay where you also get a screen protector with it what is much better than the original one.

Hiya guys. Just received my phone today.
I have ordered one of these Beyza SlimLine Leather Pouch Case.
Has anyone had one of these before, and what was their view of it?
Looking for a slim (protective) case, whether it be silicone or leather, pouch or flip-case, so that I can carry the phone in my jeans pocket.

I'd support that. Got the Bugatti SlimCase two weeks ago, and I'm quite satisfied with it.
PROs:
- Sturdy, quality leather case, offers good protection for the HD.
- Fixed belt loop. (yes there is a belt loop on the back - hard to see on some pictures). No clip that can accidentally slip off your belt.
- Slim fit: The HD's a slim device, and this case doesn't add bulk to it. Sits tightly against the belt, so no bulge at your waist. Comfortable to wear even under a business suit.
- velcro fastening: No chance of the HD accidentally slipping out of the case.
- Good fit around device: The HD fits in just right, and it's not too tight (so no unnecessary pressure on the screen).
- EasyOut strip, really easy to operate: Undo the velcro and pull the strip in one movement - hey presto, the HD is lifted about 1/3 out of the case. Couldn't be easier.
CON:
- Putting the HD back into the case is a bit more fiddly: The EasyOut strip gets in the way, or gets twisted. Not easy to do with one hand.
Overall, a really good belt-able case, and a real bargain too.
(I got mine from Amazon for ~ 10 € incl. P&P!!!!)
N.

You got to watch out for some of those cases on Ebay. I bought one for my X1i when I had it and because it was kinda tight ( needed breaking in ) it wore the paint down on an edge near the control panel. It was felt lined but the outer shell felt more like synthetic leather.

Krussel case here because of the quality and the Multidapt system, my last five cases have been Krussel so I have all the belt clips, windshield brackets etc. already.

Finally found a decent case for XDA2s

Just wanted to share with everyone.
I've had the Krusell Handit Multidapt® Case for a week now.
http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=1816&category=16
I have tried about 3-4 cases (through the company supplier ) and I have been disappointed as many times, as they are usually bulky, hard to take off, too big, or plain and simple unusable!
This case is beautiful:
* Easy to put on and take off
* Very light and not bulky at all
* Unit is actually usable when in case
It's around 50$AU from expansys.com.au and I would highly recommend it.
Wow, that one is NICE! I wonder if I can get it in the US some how....
Edit:
Found it and ordered it!
Direct Link
I uses piel frama it is the same but a little bit more slim .
I thought the Krussell was a little bulky also. The case from Sena allows the device to be cradled.
http://www.senacases.com/cart/home.php?cat=339
I bought that case off eBay about a year ago for my SX66 -- IIRC, I paid less than $25 for it. It's held up very well over the months.
Is there clear plastic over the keyboard?
Yes, there is clear plastic over the keyboard.
i have been using this case since day 1.
I am using Krusell Multidapt leather case. It prevents you from flip opening the front cover while calling. It is a good case.
Can it prevent the edge or side of my sx66 from scratching?

For me the best case that i found is the Brando Leather Case it protects all around the Qtek XDA IIs and i can use the keyboard and with it closed i can accept incomin calls !!
See it at http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwxdaIIsleatherhardcase.php
Bought it At Ebay !!
how is the piel frama case designed?
must it go between the gap of the monitor and the keyboard?
if it is so designed, will it not make the screen slider loose? anyone?
did anyone used a vertical wallet case type before? does it fits the phone good? like the one in http://www.krusell.se/productUni.php?productID=1756&category=33
I am confused, which case to get for my xda2s.

HTC Touch Pouch

Does anybody know if there'll be a pouch for the diamond 2 like for the diamond? Or simply will the Diamond pouch fit the diamond 2?
the diamond 1 pouch does not fit the d2
Don't think there is an official pouch, pdair have quite a few different ones available tho.
G
If you look at the Tracy & Matt unboxing video, its shows an HTC Pouch in the box. However, everyone so far has said it doesn't come in the box. Conclusion? I think there is/will be one, but it will a separate purchase like the with the D1.
I've been looking at the Beyza pouch for the Samsung Pixon. The Pixon has identical size stats to the D2 (well its 1mm wider), so if its just a pouch you are after, that may fit the bill.
Pdair are now selling a vertical pouch without belt clip, just ordered one myself.

Horizontal Pouch, HTC Brand
I bought this one: http://www.negrielectronics.com/touch-diamond-leather-pouch-p-2424.html
It is a Velcro closure and the phone does not fit well. further, it does not have a hard side to protect the touch screen. I assume this is a general case by HTC. I bought this, but I will probably continue to use the case from my Trinity, the fit is the same but this at least has some protection on the sides.
In a word, Disappointed. I am not sure why they skipped the case, and then fail to offer a decent one at launch time.
http://www.noreve.com/index.php
Looks like Noreve are going to do one too. Expensive, but nice, classy cases. See upcoming products at bottom of web page.
Asia model comes with those pouch similiar to original Touch Pro.
http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/?prod_id=3306&tid=4110889
Just be aware of these pouches
I did not get one with this or the TD1 ... with the TD1, the original one went on stock very quickly and I bought it for almost £10!
While the fitting was slim and snug, I couldn't help thinking that the tight fit had potentially caused light scratches on the rear (front I was not bothered as it had the protector on)
On the day I sold it, I did a very intensive clean on it and noticed there were indeed scratches that corrosponded with the pouch.
It only takes a small bit to be trapped in the pouch - you then slide the TD1 in and that bit goes down with it
I still don't know however what I want for my TD1, at the moment, I am using the original Ipod velour case that was bundled with I think the original 20gb ipods!

Yes, I prefer this pouch too. Unfortunately the HTC designation of that pouch is not mentioned on their website (i.e. the HTC PO S390 as for the D1), so a purchase seems to be tricky....
I just bought this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360151845729 since i want as thin as possible.
This isn't going to appeal to everyone since they aren't bargin basement cheap but I've just got one of these cases delivered this morning. I went for Nappa cowhide black B on the outside and red suede leather for the lining with no belt clip attached and hidden magnet closure. The case itself looks fantastic, stiching quality is excellent (not a loose piece of thread visible anywhere) and overall protection where its needed the most (on the screen) is hard to beat with the wrap over flap on the front. It took a couple of weeks from order to delivery, but for a case which is made to your own specification, right down to having your name embossed on the front, that isn't bad. If you want a quality product made to you want it, and personalised, give them a go, I'd definitely recommend them. They do a range of different styles so if a fold over horizontal pouch isn't to your liking have a look at the other options.
Nice, i just orderd one too
Nice cases, not cheap although they look very nice...
I have found my HTC Kaiser case that came with phone and I'll use that until something better comes along.

Got the case yesterday, it adds quite a bit of bulk so if you're looking for a really slim fit then look elsewhere, other than that it is of good quality and has a nice professional look about it so is ideal for work. It also offers lots of protection for the device.

@galvinize: is it possible to take the belt clip off? doesnt look like in promo pictures - but in yours.
edit: could you please take a picture with the front up - or is it just a sliding case?

T-Mobile US TP2 Case

Getting my TP2 tomorrow, but really wondering about this...
Seeing pictures of the leather 'case' that comes with the TP2 elsewhere than in the US, is it the same case without belt clip in the T-Mo US TP2?
If it is, I want to be ready when I pick up my phone to get a belt clip equipped case as well.
Yeah man... the US tp2 comes with a gay looking leather case that has no belt clip. It looks like you have a man purse imo
yeah a man purse that slides into your pocket
You guys weren't lying -- that thing is pathetic. I don't know what the heck HTC was thinking when they packaged that.
The T-Mobile guy was also full of crap when he said they had one with a belt clip. Looks like I'll be doing some shopping online.
Thanks for the heads up on that one!
yes the cases htc give are always junk. i like the bodyguardz skin cases simply because the phone is already kinda thick and it does protect the phone. kinda of a pain to put on but after my 4th attempt throughout the years i think i did my best on the touch pro 2.
nko, does the screen protector part feel rubbery and make the touch screen a little less sensitive? I know it is like that with the Zagg on my friend's iPhone.
Got this hard thick rubberized case at the tmo store. It comes with a snap in/out belt clip if wanted. Seems to fit tp2 very well, and leaves accessible all need openings.
I just used the belt clip that came with my Wing. Fits like a glove!
Hand me downs FTW!
i am still using the case my dash came with for my tp2, it fits.
I just bought me a $5 case with belt clip. I just have to cut a hole for the ear jack. I'm not spending $10+ for a case

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna use the belt clip case that came with my Hermes. It's just a little longer but it fits for now.
Has anyone installed a full body screen protector like the bodyguardz ones? I saw this one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370244520409&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
But I bought this for the time being: http://cgi.ebay.com/for-HTC-TOUCH-P...ries?hash=item4399b91c94&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 (from what I've heard, these pop off easily)
This is a very delicate process for me. It's a balance between too bulky and too little protection. I want it to be able to survive it's first dreaded drop without cracking the case. I may just try to use both of them at the same time. When I'm doing physical work, I'll put the rubber case on, and when I'm at the desk, just have it out with the clear protector. I just wonder if you can clip on the rubber housing over the clear protector. The perfect thing for me would be to just have a rubber skin that slides over the whole body of the phone because I don't slide the keyboard out much anyway. That way it could be protected when I'm on the move and I can easily take it off when not.
I also bought one of those generic belt clip holders for $5: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310161485996&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I had one before and their alright. The loops on the back will secure the phone to you if you're moving around but the clip may sag overtime though. I know I'll be replacing it eventually. The HTC OEM cases are much better, but no loops. There's never a perfect solution.
BTW: Does anyone know if the rubber case from the Touch HD will fit?
^^Just ordered one of those this afternoon. Looks similar to one I had before but can't beat $5 and then about $.50 in cashback haha

Pricey as well. Would like the b&n covers with the snap on holder instead of the flap holder. Anybody find one at a discount?
I have the "Leather writer's cover" from B&N for my NT. It's really nice. The thing I like about the official covers are that the mounts are solid and non-intrusive. I can carry it around like a book. It looks (& feels) as nice in person as it does in the B&N photos.
The third party covers don't have those solid mounts, they have either cheap straps for the corners or have leather that cover all of the bezels.
Btw, I had a "Canvas writer's cover" before, for my Nook color. It wasn't bad, didn't feel as good as the leather, and was slightly heavier. Kinda felt like rubber coated canvas, whereas the leather cover just feels like normal leather.
Currently imlooking for something like the lautner case on BN. With the magnetic clasp

Cheaper too. $19.50.
Actually oldsv6, can you tell me if the speaker is blocked or if there is like a gap so the sound isn't muffled. Also how tight is the grip of the case? I want put a skin over my nook and hopefully it will still fit in the case. Thanks.
It was not on Targets website but store by me had all three colors. This is no opening for the speakers, however, there is a space near the usb and it acts like a port for sound. The sound level is only stlighly decreased if any.
I think I will have to go with one of the BN official cases sigh.
im torn between the Brunel : http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/brunel-cover-in-iron/20831286?ean=9781616837327
and the Lautner: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/lautner-book-cover-night/19952457?ean=9781616865146
Since I hate twilight, I am leaning towards the brunel (lol not really) but Lautner is a bit cheaper. Maybe I should wait until there is a sale on cases
YMMV, but Best Buy in store is selling a Black M-Edge Go! Jacket model for $15 on clearance . I picked up one today. A couple of caveats though...
First, there is no hole in the back so the speakers are covered. If you are using the headphones that's not much of a problem since all other ports are available.
Second the fit is VERY tight, so getting the unit in and out easily is a problem. Once in it's super nice and snug, but I tend to like to remove the tablets from their cases when using most of the time. I am actually going to perform surgery on my case and remove the part along the top so I can slide my tablet in and out easily. The rubber back on the tablet and velvety insides should hold everything in fine by friction. At the price I think it's not a bad gamble to modify it...

I tried two M-Edge cases for Nook Color/Tablet, but they both covered the speaker, so the audio was muffled. They also covered the mic hole at the top edge, so if you want to use the mic, you have to take the device out of the case. However I do like their constructs - compact, slim and solid.

AARRGUS, please post it when you find out how to drill/punch holes on the back cover to allow the audio come out. I like the case but it covers the speaker and the mic (at the top).
So I just received the Lautner case and Ill give it a quick review
the faux leather isnt as nice as i was expecting for a 35 dollar cover, but its clean, the clips are sturdy and the magnet is nice.
B
found one on ebay that acts as a stand for portrait mode, pretty cheap around 10 dollars or so.
its called Premium PU leather Stand case Pouch Cover For Nook Tablet E-reader, sold by everydaysource, can i get some feedback on this product from you guys? thanks!
I purchased the Brunel cover in Iron from BN (I can't post links as of yet).
I like it a lot. The clips are very sturdy and the magnet keeps it closed. It can be propped up for viewing in landscape mode. The pocket on the inside of the cover flap is also handy. You do need to take it out of the cover in order to access the sd card. Audio sounds fine/clear while in the cover.
I haven't scuffed the leather yet, it's been tossed in and out of my purse for the past few days (got the NookTab this past Tuesday).

I also picked up the Leather writer's cover. It looks and feels great and has a nice pocket on the inside cover to slip a thin Moleskine journal style notebook into. I picked up the notebooks in a 3 pack with a thick paper cover and they slip in with a bit of trimming to one cover. I can't remember exactly what their called but you'll see them if you go into a BN store and check out the Moleskine rack. It's good for doodling or taking down notes.
I had the canvas cover before this and when I used it at a coffee shop, it picked up the cookie grease/oil from the table top and stained permanently. The leather option is much better.
slim case
I need a real slim case. One of the things I love about the Book is how I can slip into a pants pocket. The bulky cases at BN make this impossible. Anybody find a slim case with front flap?
I got the Tasume cover from B&N...its rather pricey at $50, but it's nice. It tri-folds over the screen for good protection, and the flaps fold origami-syle to prop the tablet up in either portrait or landscape.

Experience with Seidio Surface or other case/holster combos?

I'm looking for suggestions for a thin case for my Pixel that will fit in a belt holster. I'm currently using this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG4BBX1/
but the case is pretty thick, around 3.5mm. All of the ones in that style have a kickstand on the back, which adds to the thickness.
I see Seidio makes a Surface which they say is 2mm thick, quite a bit thinner. I've never had one, and am not sure about the TPU inner part covering the buttons, wondering if it messes up the feel.

Any comments on the Surface for this (or other) phones, or suggestions for a thin case/belt holster set?
I use a Google Live Case with a vertical leather belt pouch like this one. Works well for me.
I thought about the Seidio Surface, but don't like kickstands.
I can recommend the Supcase that comes with a belt clip but it's not the thinnest thing in the world - definitely a thicker heavy duty case. No kickstand though.
On that note, I'd be happy to mail you the belt clip if you wanted it if you paid for shipping, as well as test my various cases first to see if any are compatible with it. Just let me know. (My wife uses the case but not the belt clip.)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had bad luck with phones sliding out of that type of case (running with the dog or working under a car).

Thanks, but I have a belt clip for it without a case (think it's encased brand, ironically).
I decided to order a Surface and give it a try. Showed up today. The TPU part is a lot thinner than I was expecting. I'll post some thoughts on it after I've had it a few days.
I have the Surface case with holster and I like it. It's not too think, but still protective. I've dropped my phone a couple times and it didn't break

What's the verdict?
I had one like this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXDYKP7) on my Galaxy S6 and Moto Z, but would like a little protection on the Pixel.

That's the holster I was using when I didn't have it in a case. I liked it, but decided to stick with a case. Phone was a little too slippery for me without one.
I ended up returning the Seidio case/holster. For one thing, it was more difficult to get in and out of the holster, although it probably would have loosened up over time. Some of the headphones I have didn't fit the jack with it on, and the lip around the front made it more awkward to use. A lot of it came down to I just didn't think it was anywhere near being worth the price. For me anyhow. I see Amazon has a like new one right now for $21 though.
I'm still using the case/holster combo I linked to in the first post, and it's protected the phone from a few fumbles drops just fine.
