IMO you cant go wrong the the Flexishield, buy one you wont regret it! I've seen cheaper alternativers around which I'm sure will meet ur needs but I'm a sucker for branding.
Regards
+1 for flexishield.
Its solid, so you don't feel the bulk when it moves around, unlike a silicon one.
And really not that thick at all
HTC has now released their own silicon case for the Hero.

Although when I read your stuff you might think this is better:
http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-Hero-T-...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item2a0131c1e3
Quality is nice (got one with some loose stitchings, but seller sent me a new one right away), and they have a nice soft touch to them. Remind me a bit of the pouch you got with the HTC Touch. I guess I just like neoprene cases and pouches . And they're cheap hehe
Obviously the one I got has the Hero stick out just a little bit (check first link). For me no problem, only easier to get it out etc. Dimensions are very nice, it's a tight fit as it should be. I guess (but obviously don't know for sure) the second link will cover the whole Hero. But not on the sides there looking at the picture eh.
I have a clear flexi shield for everyday use and its pretty wicked. Protects the phone well and looks great .. even on the white phone.
I also have a foof pouch which is lambswool and not used that often.. its a bit posher

It fits the Hero perfectly. It feels high quality. HTC logo is cut out, looks good. Inside it is velvet or velvet like, so good protection.

yes it does perfectly in my opinion. I will try to upload a picture for you as soon as I get home. Will put it in this same post.
I was looking at the invisibleSHIELD from zagg. it seems quite nice and protects the screen nicely as well. it obv wont protect it from dropping tho. anyone got this or know if it is worth it? i hate covers that go on to the fone. always makes them look huge. i wanna show off my hero
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-hero-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
This is what I got from ebay, flip leather case with port access, manegtic stud and 2 sd card slot. Perfect for a movies goers like me. Hopefully this won't make the hero look bulky.

I have one right now... but it's a cheap one from Ebay. When I first bought it, it fit real nice and tight but now over a month or two it's getting loose and slides around a bit.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for the following:
1. It doesn't expose the metal part of the camera on the back cover.
2. Fits snug on the phone indefinitely (is this possible?).
... and if possible one that isn't really sticky.
Thanks!
Silicon case!
I was bought one silicon case on HTC STORE http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956 and is great. Cost 20$.
hi, i have a clear one of these, think i would buy the grey next time. its also a cheap ebay item. its very snug, not as flexible (which makes removal a bit of an effort) and nowhere near as sticky as some silicon cases.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Soft-Silicone...h=item110357833639&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
hope this helps
Yeah i bought one of those that bl1nky recommended. The only thing i can say is that the fit around the bezel edge is not as good as other 'softer' silicon covers.
In my case particularly, the right hand edge is badly formed and seems to pull away from the HD bezel.
In addition i find that locating and using the power switch to be troublesome and it's this that i find most annoying.
My personal quest for the perfect case continues....
Thanks for the suggestions... I'm also in the search of a perfect case. You wouldn't think it would be this hard!
I am using this from boxwave. The fit is nice and not sticky. I went with the clear one.

They look the same from what I can tell in the pictures... but you never know on Ebay it could be a cheaper knock-off of the original. I don't know because I haven't purchased the one from Ebay. I will be getting mine today or tomorrow from Boxwave and I'll take some pics of it and stuff and update here.
Is it the non-transparent one with small camera hole? (I'm in the boarding shcool where ebay is locked) If so, it's good, but rather thick, good for protection, but will make your HD thicker (around 16mm). If not, just remove this post.

Ok so I got the case and have been using it for two days now. It is pretty damn nice actually. It fits well, not too tight and not too loose either. It's not sticky like the cheap Ebay one I have so I can easily slide it in and out of my pocket. I got the smoke color. It's clear and shiny so it suits the HD well. I like being able to see the phone through the case as well.
can try this silicon case from Capdase
CW any pics mate ??
i got the silicon case from ebay and its not a tight fit.come off very easily. am now on the hunt for another case. there is a case for the iphone which is a plastic case but a rubberised finish.

Thx!
checked it and to be honest it doesn't fit perfectly... i know they aren't very different size wise but putting it in pouch you can really see that hero is smaller. It feels a bit too lose in the pouch. I think I'll wait for something better to use rather than this one.
I bought this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280380090451&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Is a good fit and great quality for only £2.50. Only took 5 days to arrive.

I have been used this case http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flexishield-plus-skin-for-the-htc-hero-clear-p21308.htm almost an year, and yeah very good protection, but an year use turn the nice trasnparent plastic in a ugly brown plastic...
look very ugly now, so i think that I will buy a new one, but I have some doubts, buy the same case or buy this one http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/capdase-soft-jacket-2-xpose-htc-hero-black-p22496.htm
The last one is a little bit more expensive, but i think that have a little more quality, and was little less transparent that previews one, so maybe the ugly browm don´t appear so soon.
So guys, if some of you have experience with this cases help me choose

Please post some pics when u get ur case. Also u can call me a lier but before i even got my transformers i was already looking for a case, and on amazon i got to see a few tpu cases, like the ones from amzer, u know the ones with the sketchers on the back, and now for some reason when i google them i get nothing, and there were like 20 people selling them on amazon. So please post some pics i wanna know if this is real, also comments about how good and hard the silicone is.
I just put in an order for mine earlier. (Forgot to lastnight) Should have it within 15 days, least thats what they said. Got the black one, wish they had a grey, but oh well.
Looking pretty good. Very tempted to get one but hmmm I guess it won't play nice with the dock.
order a black one...hopefully it wont take too long to get here.
i dont think manycases will be compatible with the dock.
from what I read on Chinese website. this condom case doesn't fit really well, lil bit spacy.

How flexible would you say this case is? I'm deciding between this one and a silicon case myself. I'd like something more flexible than a plastic hard case, but not as floppy as silicone.

dont worry about that，quality really good. cant be break easy，and feel nice when you hold it，smooth put on face.
I have the Smasung OEM case and it works beautifully....for me I think covering the screen is more important than covering the aluminium back. The first perceived issue with the OEM case "flap" is really not an issue at all as mine has never flapped open becuase of the way it is carried. In edition, it can be positioned in either landscape or portrait mode. It is a good idea to keep the rubber grip edge on the case clean so it continues to grip any surface. This device is such a beautiful design that I find the Samsung case compliments it very well.

TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane, it's a different material from silicone.
Generally firmer and has a more rigid structure.
