Hi all
I haven't found any topic about this case, so here it is:
I recently bought a Tuff-Luv Executive leather pouch for my HTC HD.
http://www.amazon.fr/Tuff-Luv-Execu...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1235746989&sr=8-1
It is quite good, the phone fits very well in it (the camera hole is a bit too low but it is ok anyway). the phone can still be easily to removed from the case.
And it is one of the few leather cases for that phone, that has a hatch that opens to the lower part of the phone (sorry, can't find the words in English, you can see picture) so this is appreciable.
everything is easy to access: stylus, usb port even when the case is closed , volume control, audio jack. Plus it is less expensive than Noreve and Proporta cases (probably not the same durability, but this I can only tell after a while, as it seems to carry on well for now)
So I would gladly recommend it. Anyone else has this case ?
Hope it works out for you. Looks like a pretty well made case.
I'm still trying a few different cases for my HD.
First was the PDA Air book style but it didn't take too long for me to get concerned the two plastic arms that holds the unit in the case are not that secure. The unit can slide and as it is also a belt clip case last thing I wanted was my new shiny HD sliding out and bouncing on the pavement. :-(
Currently have a two piece case of eBay described as "black rubber". Really more of a plastic than rubber and it will do for the short term as only a few dollars.
Today I ordered a Krusell Orbit case. Has the removable flap which covers the screen. I am hoping that with the main section of the case still on the unit it will still fit in the cradle I have. (My cradle has a bit of space around the unit which I hope will accommodate the case)
Your case look good too but the flap attached to the rest of the case at the base so wouldn't allow the unit to sit in the cradle.
Does anyone know if this will fit over the HD
http://www.krusell.se/product/3637
I have the bike adapter off Krusell and bought the leather case that Krusell make for the HD (The Only Case They Make For The HD) and it makes the phone to big and doesn't really fit the phone anyway.
The above case has the clear plastic over the screen which is great for the bike.
Any opinions?
I was wondering the same thing. I am new to the HD and trying to find something cute but protective. The 1st generation Iphone is extremely similar in size but the buttons would definitely be an issue. Can anyone chime in?
No, I don't think it would fit.
- First, iPhone's edges are more tapering and rounded, if you know what I mean. HD' edges are thicker.
- The opening for camera for iPhone at the back is at the top corner, whereas, HD's is in the top centre.
- The headphone jack of iPhone is about 10mm more towards the edge than HD's
- HD needs an opening for the stylus in the place whre iPhone cases has no opening for.
- iPhone's bottom has a large opening for its cable, and this hole would be considered too large for HD.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
size
also they are diffrent sizes.... the HD is larger.... larger screen etc
Most iPhone case are built to fit tightly, hence will not fit THD. For the Krusell, it better not to gamble, trying in a store if you can. You may be able to zip it up but may be too tight!!!
However, design like this will fit, I'm using it.

I have the same problem seeking for the right casing
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.

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.

I was looking at that too. I just want something slim and simple to not add bulk so it can slip in a pocket. Can you let us know what you think when it arrives?

Not sure how long delivery will take but will do when I get it.
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.

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.

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?
Has anyone found a leather flip case for the Pure?
The only ones I've seen that even come near are over $50
which to me is just too damm much for a case
Heres my take on it
Many complain the Pures a "fingerprint magnet"
OK Maybe so but I can't really see putting the clear "helicopter rotor"
body armour shell, because the don't protect against inpact damadge only scratch damage.
A flip type case that is not removed (I don't want a pouch type)
is one hand to open and you don't need to put the case somewhere while using it.
It will protect both the body and screen against impact and scratching
Leather is reasonably smooth so it wont snag going in and out of my pocket
(like the silicon ones can) Its a little thinner than the silicon and hard rubber ones too. I think same or more durable than Silicone.
Taking it a step further I am normally not a big fan of the belt clip
prefer the pocket but have been thinking about a modular mounting system
where I cold move the clip directly to a car kit or desktop kit for charging
Using the locking swivel clips would allow for landscape or regular viewing
And since the clip is the mounting point not an indentation or cup,
you would keep the case on even in the mount. the cover would just be flipped opened to the top or side when in use.
Now I don't claim to have created the idea I've seen a nice one
for the Diamond2 and a few extra swivel clips could adapt most
any car and desk cradle or mounts.
I've attached one one Ebay thats for the Diamond looks pretty good
But I've bought too many cases for Diamond where the clip just won't stay attached to the Pure.
The mfr of this case recommend I wait a few weeks the Pure Case is
coming in then. Like to hear pro's and cons from anyone who has a similar
flip style case. Also like to hear pro's & cons on which side the flip cover is on
Side top or bottom? Ideally you could use the camera while in the case
without the flip cover obscuring the lens folding arrangement or maybe a
hole in front and back covers so you could fold front over rear cover?
Also possibly cover fastens in half open position so a quick desktop easel.
Any thoughts?? what am I missing (aside for individual preference)
I've obviously got too much time on my hands <BG> and there are
not enough actual cases for the Pure that are available for purchase .
I Love the Pure/Topaz

Heres the one for the diamond2 I was looking at
Item number: 200403300227
I like the mounting (leather straps not a clip)
But I think one with a side flip/ book style makes using the camera easiest
I ordered my Lumia 920 on Friday and it should arrive sometime this week but what I'm currently desperately looking for is a suitable case with a belt clip.
I already went through eBay.com, eBay.co.uk, eBay.de (Germany) and I also tried to find one through Google but all the cases I found either are
-vertical
-have no belt clip
or
-have no cut-out for the headphone plug
I already had vertical belt cases for my current phone (HTC HD2/Leo) before and they always got in the way when I sat down so those sort of cases are not really for me. And as I want to use the Lumia a lot for listening to music a case which won't let me connect the headphones while the phone is in it won't do it either.
So if anyone knows a case that would suit my needs/wishes I would appreciate that a lot
thx

thx but I already came across that one too but unfortunately it lacks a cut-out for the headphone jack
EASECASE is the best for customization
I have had great experience with the EASECASE store on ebay (sry for broken links, still under 10 posts.....):
stores.ebay.com/EASECASE/Lumia-920-/_i.html?_fsub=5875330018&_sid=149381558&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
I customized an AT&T Tilt 2 case 2 years ago and used it up until last Friday when the 920 came out. No issues like leather fraying off the belt clip, expanding over time due to use or stitching coming undone. I think you can get them to either put a hole for the headphone jack in the side you think you will have the top of the phone against when you carry it horizontally, or lower that same side so that the wall of the case is only half the height of the side the bottom of the phone will be against. I saw some old pictures once where someone wanted to charge the phone while inside the case and they cut one wall in half and finished the edges to match the rest of the case stitching.
Here is the customization page of the case I have for my Tilt 2 but for the Lumia 920: stores.ebay.com/easecase/pages/D1
I used BU Cowhide Black for the case exterior, Black microfiber interior, 2 hidden magnets for the closure and Belt Clip style 02. Pretty awesome to hold and the clip is wide enough so the strain of attaching it to your pocket, belt, bag strap etc.....didn't force the metal to start poking through the leather because it was divided along a longer surface than Belt Clip 01.
I also got them to monogram it using my Quake 3 tag even though it was longer than the maximum character length they specify. Nothing but good to say about them. Downside? They hand make to order and ship from China, so you will wait like 3-6 weeks. Upside? Best case of its kind for the money.
If you want a picture of my old case just ask.

Thanks for the suggestion
Unfortunately they are quite expensive (50 $ is A LOT of cash for a phone case IMO)
Glad to help. I also firmly believe that you get what you pay for and that buying once is better than buying multiple times because the case wears out. Also, most of the leather cases out there are quite flimsy compared to this one and very few are enclosed at the corners. This means that when you drop your phone, it may be protected from the impact but the corners will still get damaged. That was one of the deciding factors for me personally besides the belt clip style. Good luck with your search and let us know what you pick.
