Just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I was wondering if they make a rubber fitted case for the Tilt 2? Kinda like an Iphone one...
I have one for my US Tmo that I got from the Tmo store............
Don't order the one from boxwave http://www.boxwave.com/products/praetoriancrystalslip/htc-tilt-2-praetorian-crystal-slip-case_3729.htm

I ordered this one for my tilt 2, you have to slide the keyboard out in order to get the top and bottom piece on. It takes a while, but once I got it on, it stayed.

This thread is for the Tilt 2 Rubber cases only!
My Boxwave Praetorian Crystal Slip for the Tilt 2 review.
The first picture shows the gap you will get with the top piece on or off!
In the last picture. There is a little piece towards the right of the screw, that the top part of the case won't fit over.
If you let anybody check out your phone with this case on it will come right off.
Nice pics...
I'm glad you took a pic of just the bottom piece. I've actually thought about just buying the bottom piece since that's all I'm concerned about...it seems way too thick. I know I wouldn't like it on my phone and would end up just tossing it.
I'm really looking for one of those silicone back covers that they have for the iPhone...
Thanks again,

The bottom part of the case is good and fits really nice, but for $20? If it came in black maybe, I said maybe!
Right now I using my old Tilt case after I had the velcro replaced and with the bottom part on, it's way to tight.

No prob mate, just wanted to point that the other thread I mentioned is for ALL
SILICON case for Rhodium (any model)
So instead of having 4 threads for avery model the idea was to have one for all models, that´s all.

WOW! Thanks for posting your opinion and the pics. I was about to order one of these. I totally agree that the bottom piece is too thick and that's a HUGE gap it creates between the top and the base. That seems like it'll wear the springs out. Sucks that there just doesn't seem to be a good rubber case for the Tilt 2. I'm really hoping Seidio will make an Innocase Surface for the Tilt 2. They already make them for the Sprint and Verizon version of the TP2. I've read where people have been told they're going to make one and others where they've said they will not. I'm just saying I'll believe it when I see it.
Kinda lame Seidio...

We understand your efforts of trying to merge all into one thread and all, but honestly, I would prefer 4 Separate threads. If i have the ATT tilt 2 (which I do), I would not want to read OVER 30 PAGES of freakin' reviews and such JUST for my one model. We understand your good Samaritan acts here, but seriously, people don't have the patience or time for that -- UNLESS, every 5 pages, you would like to do the honors of summarizing which cases work for every model since you want to dump it into a "come-one-come-all" thread. I don't know about you, but your thread is too long for the newcomers who are looking up a good case for their model. Besides, it doesn't hurt to have more threads in this section because its pretty slow paced.
Sorry, was kind of getting tired of you rejecting every thread that pops up about this.
Oh, and many of the posts in that thread are close to useless and does not help at all. So basically ---> your life is wasted reading that long of a thread. Make a new one at least please.

If you take the battery cover off you will see the the tilt 2, touch pro2 is not really thick at all. Htc just simply does not know how to design with THIN in mind. The seem to just about alwats miss the mark in COVER design.
If some manufaturer would make a slimmer solution to cover the back they would make some good cash!
Right now I'm making some sort of "cover" to keep me from returning the tilt. Im right now using it with no cover at all AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean take the cover off and hold it, fells GOOD doesnt it? Slide the screen up and use it, feels FANTASTIC. And it looks slim as well.
Man I hate the way they finish heir products!
Battery Cover Question
Anyone Know If The Battery Covers Between All Of The Touch Pro 2's Are Interchangeable? I Have A Tilt 2 And I Lost My Battery Cover... I Dont See Any On Ebay... Anyone Have Any Ideas?
I don't know man, I just took my cover off and it looks as though the difference in thickness is about the thickness of the cover. I held it in my hand with it on and off and it feels about that different. I don't see where having the cover off makes any functional difference.

I have a tp2, also saw the tilt2. the battery cover on the tilt looks very different, and yes, the battery cover for the tilt2 makes it look bulkier. the cover for the tp2 is basically a lightly bevelev flat piece of plastic. the total thikness of the cover is maybe 4 or 5 mm.
The one thing about the T-Mobile USA version I like, The battery cover is slim & don't cover the MicroSD Slot, plus the stylus doesn't go through it.
EDIT: Oh, btw, in the future please post in the correct forum. This has nothing to do with ROM Development. There are plenty of threads about cases/housings/battery covers/etc in the Rhodium accessories section where this belongs.

Speaking of, working on porting T-Mobiles MyFaves App. Have it ported & working, just the TF3D page won't show, no point releasing it till I can figure that out. I have all the _manila files (I think) & it still doesn't show.
wrong forum but yea. I don't really feel the difference. I like the way it is. It's not thick at all to me. It's just right.
LOL at the OP. The battery cover is NOT thick and adds 1mm at most (not 4 or 5 as someone else said). Unless the AT&T one is different from all the others (wasn't mentioned in the reviews), in which case blame AT&T not HTC.
Also, it's going to be really funny when you activate your moisture sensors and short out your battery while using your phone with your cover off, all so your phone is 1mm thinner. I'd go ahead and put that cover back on right now before you can't return it anymore.

No no nooo, It's not just about a mm, its about design.
The plastic is probably about a mm thick BUT the ALL AROUND desing is just more bulky than it needs to be.
For those of you that say you can see or feel any difference, do you have a chunky wife? Just kidding, but really, how could you not feel or see any difference?. Maybe you guys are just use to thick phones from htc. And since they are making them a LITTLE slimmer these days you guys are just happy.
But I have a 3gs and putting one in each hand you can see and feel the bluk.
But, like you guys, I love my tilt 2!
Btw, thanks to the guy who posted the website that sells the battery cover! Going to have to buy one just to mess with it and make it slimmer. I can always make it fit the tilt if its made for some other carrier.
Oh for crying out loud... make your peace with it. I can't believe we're actually having a discussion about this. You must have really tiny hands if you can feel whatever difference you are talking about.

You seem to forget there is one HUGE, GLARING, PINK ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM difference, we have a sliding hardware keyboard. If the Iphone had a sliding keyboard, it would be "bulkier." Some people are ok with the software keyboard, i am not, and never have been. My fingers are no where close to dainty. So having a hardware keyboard is a must, plus I actually can compose full emails and correct my mistakes quickly which i think is the biggest problem with a software keyboard.
I'm actually quite pleased with the form factor of the Tilt 2. I wasn't expecting it to be thinner than the Tilt, somehow I missed that in the reviews and specs. I was expecting something somewhat big and bulky, and was actually quite impressed with how slim and sexy it feels.
I don't have a TP2 to compare. But the Tilt 2 feels good to me. Similar to previous responses, I don't see how they could really have slimmed down all that much, at all. Cover off is really not any thinner than cover on.
Comparing the Tilt2 to a iPhone is ridiculous. If the iPhone had a keyboard, it would obviously be thicker.
You're seriously using the phone with the battery cover off? You're just begging for the thing to become damaged.

If this works, It would still need to be modded for the PTT button that att added.
I agree with the others above, there is not a huge difference in thickness.... a difference around the edges yes, but nothing major.
And put the case back b4 you void the warranty (ie above post, moister sensor)

I ordered this case a while back, and I absolutely love it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Hard-Skin...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45eeeac5fa
The one I ordered was a little cheaper, and didn't include the lcd protection, but the case is the same. Anyway, I think I paid around 8 bucks or so. I did have the body glove case, drilled a hole for the proximity sensor, but after a while, the case started to catch on the clear plastic sticker on the back of the lcd screen. It also started to catch on the side stickers beside the keyboard. This new case fits extremely well, and has yet to catch on anything. The only grip I have is that it is a little slick, but not enough to deter me. Just thought I'd share.

I want a micro sd slot like that
i got the clear one and the brown rubber case...both fit great.
This is my first review, so I hope it doesn't suck.
Both my wife and I have the Tilt 2. I decided to go with InvisibleShield while she wanted a case. After looking at all the comments here about cases not fitting, I decided to go with 2 different ones from Amazon. One fit horribly, so i wont even mention it.
She is using the Tilt2 Praetorian Slip and she loves it. Installation was a little tough as the fit is pretty precise. I suggest installing the top (screen) side first and then the bottom (keyboard). Install both with the KB extended. I have attached pics of the fit.
The only complaint I have (she thinks of it as a feature) is that the cover makes it a little more difficult to slide out the keyboard. She like it because it used to slide open in her purse (mostly because of the fact that she keeps it in an inside pocket of her purse which causes it to hit just right against crap she has in another pocket). Overall, this is a pretty nice cover. I am sure you can get it cheaper than amazon, but I had gift certificates to spend
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the review! I bought the same case a few months ago, although it was advertised as for the Verizon Touch Pro 2. I was unaware they made one for the Tilt 2. Now I won't have to worry about it falling off randomly!
thsi case probably wouldnt work with invisible shield on too huh

Neat.. glad yours fit. I ordered one for the Tilt2 from Amazon as well, and Boxwave sent one labeled 'Touch Pro 2'. I see yours doesn't have a cutout area for the PTT button either, do you have issues with that? My praetorian case would almost always trigger the PTT button whenever I handled the phone.
The top/screen portion of my Praetorian didn't fit right and opening and closing the top was almost impossible - even ended up ripping off the protective plastic along one side of the keyboard. (the protective plastic that is designed to be there, not the temporary stuff it whipped with) I can see just by looking at your pictures that your screen portion fits waay better than mine did.
When I contacted Boxwave about the issues, no questions asked and they sent a postage paid label for the return. I'd love to try this case again, as I did like the feel of it, but nervous about another no-fit. I went with BodyGuardz instead.. not sure I'm happy with those..

Man, sorry you had so many issues. The PTT button is indeed covered, but she has had no issues with it at all (hers is remapped to toggle bluetooth on and off). The fit on the screen portion is *very* tight. Took some effort to get it installed properly.
Also, mine definitely said "Tilt 2" on the packaging.
It is disappointing that it covers the PTT button. I assume your wife has abandoned that function (easily switching BT on/off)?
Thanks for posting reviews on this case -- I'm trying to decide what route to take to give my new Tilt 2 some added protection, and more importantly, cut down on the slickness/smudge magnet-ness of the shiny battery cover (which is my #1 gripe with the GSM TP2, both CDMA versions have rubberized covers which won't fit their GSM siblings due to the placement of the 3.5 mm jack).
I really wish someone made a rubberized battery cover to replace the shiny OEM one. These snap on type cases are okay, but they become a major pain as soon as you need to pop off the battery cover in order to flash a new ROM (as I do often), reset the device, or swap out memory cards. I worry trying to snap-in and pry off these cases frequently will damage the phone -- especially when it's a super snug fit. IMHO, a rubberized battery cover, along with perhaps the upper portion of this case to protect the chrome bezel from getting nicked would be an ideal solution! I may just go down to Home Depot this weekend and see if they have a spray that can rubberize plastic, then I might just buy a spare OEM battery cover and see if I can rubberize it.

Nope, the PTT button still works perfectly under the cover. Does not get accidentally pressed and is responsive when you push it.

Sounds like skinning/shielding your phone with GadgetShieldz might be the way to go. The GadgetShieldz does take a little time to install but it works. The protective film on the screen is easy to install and bubble free. It makes the phone non-slippery. It would not protect the phone like a case but it does prevent scratches. When installed, it adds very little weight and dimension to the phone.
Actually, there are other protective films/shields but I only have experience with GadgetShieldZ. It might work for you.

Just to report on this, I got one of these in the mail yesterday. So far I love it. It wasn't terribly difficult to get on. It fits very well too. My only real complaint is that it doesn't accommodate the PTT button that the Tilt 2 has right next to the volume buttons. It's not a big issue since I don't use PTT and the case doesn't prohibit using the key anyway.
Just be careful and make sure you order the one that specifically says it's for the Tilt 2. They make other models. I know they have the Praetorian on eBay but to be safe I opted to get mine directly from Boxwave. I got what I ordered too and could have used they're return policy if I needed.
Oh...I'll be happy to post pics if anyone wants but I think someone already put some up of this one a Tilt2.

I wish I'd seen your post sooner! Home Depot and Lowe's does indeed have something like that. I'm sure lots of hardware stores do. It's called Plasti-Dip. I have a can right here You can buy it as spray-on or dip/brush-on applications. I use it on mountain bike parts and tools for extra grip. I'm not positive how well it will stick to a slick plastic surface but it is an option.

I ordered one from BoxWave and I think I'm still going to shop around for something else. It seems like the Tilt2 has less options than the other variations of the Rhodium so people may just be settling for this due to "Slim Pickin's."
I like the way the gel gives more texture and grip to the phone, but I still feel uneasy because it's definitely not a snug fit. The part that covers the screen section of the phone is very flimsy and after you get it on, you want to keep checking it to make sure that it is attached; it feels like it can easily slip off at any time. This is specifically evident when you slide your screen up and tilt it. Tap the top right, or the middle section that really has no grip around the phone, and it might just pop off...
I still have it on my phone because it is the lesser of two evils, have something vs. not having something, but are there any other options for the Tilt2?

It's held up quiet nice...even with as much flashing I do (have to remove the bottom piece every time). I've figured out a great way to put it back on that's really fast and easy. Some people say it's difficult to get on. I think the top piece is the hard part but I've taken it off a few times and have no issues there either. It still fits good. If I remember, next time I take it off I'll shoot some pics of how I put it on and upload them.

I ordered one from BoxWave and I think I'm still going to shop around for something else. It seems like the Tilt2 has less options than the other variations of the Rhodium so people may just be settling for this due to "Slim Pickin's."
I like the way the gel gives more texture and grip to the phone, but I still feel uneasy because it's definitely not a snug fit. The part that covers the screen section of the phone is very flimsy and after you get it on, you want to keep checking it to make sure that it is attached; it feels like it can easily slip off at any time. This is specifically evident when you slide your screen up and tilt it. Tap the top right, or the middle section that really has no grip around the phone, and it might just pop off...
I still have it on my phone because it is the lesser of two evils, have something vs. not having something, but are there any other options for the Tilt2?

I haven't really had any trouble with mine popping off. It took a bit to get the top on right and it was a pretty snug fit too. Getting the corner edges all the way tucked under was the hardest part. I'm guessing it's a manufacturing thing. Some say it's a tight fit and other say it's loose. I will agree that the sides on the top piece are flimsy because they're not attached the the phone but if they were it would probably make matters worse by either rubbing against the bottom piece or creating too big of a gap between the two parts of the phone.
I agree there aren't many options for the Tilt 2 and I hate to say it but there probably won't be.

If yours is a snug fit, I wonder if we received the same thing! Did you order from BoxWave? I have a little plastic tool that I used to get the corners onto the top half quickly which was actually made to fit into the creavice of a HTC Dash phone to pop the clips and take the phone apart. It works great and I can see the little flaps around the corner so you can tell the corners of the phone are between the gel lips.. It's still too easy to come off though..
Even though my receipt says "Praetorian Crystal Slip, HTC Tilt2, Smoke Grey - SKU: bw-268-3729-2808", it also says "ITEM: HTC TOUCH PRO2." The Box also has a white sticker in the top right that says "Praetorian Crystal Slip - TOUCH PRO2."
Do you remember if yours said the same? Maybe they somehow shipped me the wrong one?

Yeah I got mine directly from boxwave. They have like 3 different models of that slip. Most of the adds I saw on Amazon and eBay claimed it would fit on 3 or 4 different TP2 models which I knew it wouldn't. I emailed boxwave about the pics in their online catalog because it didn't look like a Tilt 2 to me and they admitted it wasn't. They said they didn't have one for the pics. Which made sense I mean why spend that much just to get pics but they promised it would fit so I figured what the hell. The hard covers kinda suck.
Thanks for the replies, I guess I will go ahead and order it and see what happens.
I just got the unbranded version of this case off ebay (the seller's id was e-story).
It's not too bad on my unbranded TP2. It's slightly more difficult to slide out the keyboard, and when the screen is fully tilted, the top row of keys are slightly obscured, but nothing too major in my opinion.
I like that the case improves the grip of the phone, but I'm also rather concerned that the case will eventually melt under hotter conditions since the material feels rather gummy.
I was searching around and could not find a gel/TPU type clear case for the G1...for those of you who do not know...here is one example of a Nexus One case like what I would want:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Soft-Case-TPU...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item746a91e417
I know they do not show a completely clear one, but that is the material/type of case I would like. It is not like a typical silicone case -it is slightly like a hard case being that it does not bend as easily and it is not floppy at all.
Any ideas?
Heres the problem that I see...
How would you open the keyboard with that cover overlapping the front of the phone? That would probably be the reason those style covers don't exist for the G1.
As my fellow Oregonian said.. Soft cases and a slide keyboard won't really work.. If you look at the hard shells you'll see how the screen has it's own little part that clips on.. soft shells wrap instead of clip on...
I fail to see why they could not have a separate piece to put on the screen...?
If there is no such case... then could someone recommend a thin, yet tough, hard case? (preferably clear)
soft cases can't clip onto the screen part that has to slide up...
but here's something i found with decent reviews for the other colors.. clear hasn't been rated yet

Yeah I understand what you mean and thanks for that info...but - I was thinking not of a soft case 'clipping' onto the screen but you could slip a cover over it or around it -I am SURE there is some way to do it....
I think this is what you are looking for:

LOL WOW THANK YOU!!!! How did you find that ? it should not be labeled as silicone (I think)..... wow that is exactly what I am looking for! I knew it was possible.... any way - I wish it didnt cost so much, the others I see like it(on other phones) is significantly cheaper (like under $5.00 with shipping included).... If I cannot find any cheaper ones I will order that one...
Thanks again, I cant believe you found just what I was looking for...

yea that case is rocking . I as well was looking for something like this! Thanks!! hey erebusting did you order it? did ya like it?
I ordered the clear one, and it came in yellowish like it was old or like someone was smoking around it or something.... the seller gave me a refund because he said they had no more, but I think that all the clear ones were just as yellow ? who knows....
also when you hold the phone in portrait mode on the top right and left corners of the keyboard section the case left a small gap on each side maybe about 1-2 millimeters as if it was slipping off...
Other than all that I liked it, but would not use it because it makes my phone look yellow / ugly... if I had a case like that with these flaws fixed then I would use it.

LMAO...Reading this was funny for some reason
Can you post some pictures? And would you recommend it? I am looking for a new case for my phone, and this one is one that I am considering
I had this case. I had a screen protector on, and the extra height of the screen protector made the screen portion of the case slip off. If you don't use a screen protector, it might work for you. I bought a Seidio case and never looked back. Super thin, rugged plastic. Comes in black so it blends into the phone.

zinite, I understand that, but see I do also have a screen protector on but the section of the case which goes on the screen is fitting fine, the section for the body is the part I have the complaint about. I will definately check out some Seidio cases now that you have mentioned that.
SolemnWishing, Here are some pictures of the case next to a clear hard case (which is actually clear and not yellow...)
Ace42, glad you got a laugh! haha...BTW I am wondering why you were laughing though, kind of odd to me ATM...
WOW! that case is really yellow. i was thinking about getting one thinking it wont be that yellow. but that is definitely gross smoker yellow
Dang... it looks like someone left that out in the sun for like a year or something..
Guess you know what happens to these cases when you have em for awhile... I've long given up on G1 cases: with a simple screen protector you should be on your way. I love the feel of the back of the G1, and a case would only screw that up.

I also love the feelings of the G1 without a case, but I have dropped my previous phones too many times to take that chance... haha
Any ways... Those pictures are from the same day of receiving that case, so it must be some fault on the seller....
its really a disappointment since there are no other cases (that I can find that is) like that for the G1...
any other recommendations/ideas?

I was wondering for anyone that have the black version of this case, does the flaps have magnets in them? It's listed for the other colors but not for the black. I found this kind of strange so I emailed them and it seems like they take forever to respond. So if anyone have this case, could you please comment? Thank you.
P.S. I'll also take recommendations for similar cases.

I don;t have this case, but many similar cases have magnetic closures. Why do you care?
A colleague of mine has the iPad version of this case, it's not bad for $10. I just ordered the Tab 2 7" version - I'll post my thoughts once received...

This has to be the dumbest question ever "Why do you care?". The guy is obviously asking so that he can make a smart purchase than going in blind and come to find out its not what he wanted and then having to return the item back. If you don't have any helpful advise to give why even comment? The nerve of some people!

The case for my GTab 2 7" arrived yesterday. I'm used to rockin the tab "naked" but I'm liking the case. Nice and thin, magnets keep it closed nicely, all ports/buttons are available (including IR). Two little things... 1) It has a little loop for a pen or stylus which is annoying, I'll cut it off, and 2) the case doesn't lie perfectly flat against the tab in the area of the Samsung logo on the font of the tab, directly underneath the home/back buttons. A little annoying because when attempting to hit one of the buttons you first contact the case which is sticking up a bit.

You're a jerk.
Some people has asked if the magnets have adverse effects on the devices, which they do not.

Im a jerk? Come on man, think about your answer. If anything you came off being rude. You cant assume that all of these case with flaps have magnets as i have seen some with velcro and why tell the dude why does he care when he's asking for a reason. SMDH....
It took them days to reply but they finally gave me an answer. They say that it doesnt come with magnets so i bought a similar one but there's no cutout for the charging port(but in their pictures it did). Oh well and thank you for all the responses, much appreciated.
P.S. I care if they have magnets or not because it's more secure when my tablet drops than having the front part flap around on it's way down.

Where exactly, underneath the little flaps that are sticking up, or between the back of the tablet and the case?

I took a picture of it for you not sure if that helps. The white you see by my finger is the paper i push into that spot. I believe it's the little flaps your talking about.
Just to add, or help someone else, I have this case. I like it for the price, and it leaves the face open.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Slim-...es_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item2a25d206a5
It leaves all the ports and camera unobstructed. It's good for watching, but it is not "locked" into position, so tapping too hard on the screen will cause it to collapse flat. Only drawback.
