I ordered a 3 pack of these bad boys from amazon; $13 shipped for 3 is much better than boxwave's $16 shipped for one...now we need to see if they fit properly!
http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon®-Premium-Quality-T-Mobile-Ballpoint/dp/B003752IWI
I will report back once they arrive =)
Can't guarantee those will, but I CAN guarantee that these will. The ORA Stylus from Expansys-USA and for less than $12 (sans shipping).
Boxwave tried to poo-poo these when I asked how come a single boxwave pen/stylus cost as much as a three-pack of these.
I have the three-pack for my Sprint Touch Pro2. First batch were defective, and even before I said anything Expansys-USA admitted they had sent me defective ones and replaced them.
Never an issue since.
Please write back and say if these fit your Sprint (CDMA) Touch Pro2 and how well they work. Always need new styli.
Did you recieve the stylus yet???
Is it a PERFECT fit?

I bought a 3 pack. Yes, they fit just like the originals. They are very slightly different when inserted, but it is not noticeable. They work just like the OEM; when I remove the stylus the device unlocks.
yup they fit Tmobile tp2 perfectly and for roughly $4 delivered each boxwave can suck it sideways!
any pics of how they fit externally? you said there is a minimal difference with the OEM stylus..
fosmon fits tp2 just fine
i finally got my 3 pack today. took 2 weeks as the first shipment to me was lost. In short these guys are exactly the same length as the original however the steel barrel is of a smaller diameter. Looks like they simply used a high quality pen cartridge and cut it down to fit, then added the plastic tips at both ends. 3 for $14 I cant *****. I would recom recommend.
Will this stylus fit AT&T Tilt2? Probably it will, just want to be sure
I bought these from Expansys USA and they fit like a charm. Even before I was able to complain that the pens weren't working, I received an email from Expansys USA that they had sent me defective pens and replaced them with no questions asked.
Stylus fits fine. It's a great thing to have a pen when you need one.
Thanks! Needed to know this. Just bought a stylus for my Tmobile TP2, but it was the sprint branded one...lets just say I had to "modify" it to make it work. Now I can get three that look right for less than the $21 shipped that HTC charges for their 3 pack!
Wow, awesome find! Just ordered mine, can't wait...!
Fits my VzW TP2, but...
The Fosman metal stylus fit my VzW TP2, but it initially caused some weird behavior. I have stylus lock engaged so my device will not wake up, etc., with stylus. The device ignored the lock with the Fosman stylus! Finally got it working by unloading and reloading device lock.
Worse still, the ink dried up after only a couple of weeks and literally less than 20 words written. Since that was the only reason to go with the Fosman, I have gone back to the OEM stylus. (Yes, I know I got a 3-pack, but what good is a pen that dries up after a couple of uses?) I should have thought about it -- look how small the barrel is for any ink reservoir ...
Where'd you buy it?

I bought mine at Expansys-USA and they replaced it saying that they had shipped me a defective set. No questions asked and the new set don't dry up.
I got that same pack on Amazon for 9.99 + 3 for shipping the fit and work great.
http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon®-Premium-Quality-T-Mobile-Ballpoint/dp/B003752IWI
You can also order them from tmobile's site for 9.99 + 6 shipping and taxes.
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/addons/Accessories/Default.aspx?categorycode=24
Do they fit in the tilt 2?
Just got mine in from Amazon.com for 9.99 + 3 for shipping as well. They fit great and still work w/ stylus sensor and writes well. We'll see how long the ink lasts...
anyone know where i could buy a stylus with ball point for the normal touch pro2 on ebay? because hard to purchase when in in Australia. Thanks
I made my own out of a htc stylus some melted plastic a file and a black paint marker. I just ordered the fosmon one thanx everyone for letting me know this one works.

My mates got the first one for his Touch Diamond 2 and my HTC hero doesn't fit inside it very well, too tight.
I've seen this as well - looks nice. It's a generic one though, so don't know how well it would fit. I'd much rather get a dedicated one (Beyza hopefully) though.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/krusell-luna-pouch-extra-large-black-p19810.htm
i really doubt they would be a good fit for the hero and ive heard that the hero rubs on the inside of them resulting a smudged look on the hero
I've got one similar to the second link, bought from the same seller HERE. My Hero fits nicely inside it and delivery from Hong Kong was quick.

Do you have a white Hero and if so does that pouch stain it at all? I've tried a couple of pouches that stained mine.
no sorry - it's a black G2.
I've just received a gel case with protector from here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180415010020
Really happy with it, and the screen protector is actually really really decent (i.e. fits the whole glass screen) and applied easily with only one tiny tiny mark that I can hardly notice. Not tested over the long term, but I think I paid 30p extra over the case to get this.
yeah ive got a gel case also, the screen protector extra is a must!!
together theyre great at protecting my phone and extremely durable
only thing with that is the phone wont fit in the dock with a case like this on. nice though.
do the cases scratch the back side?
Nah it doesn't scraTch it. I've had the gel case on my hero for around 3 months now and the back is in pristine condition
this is the case i use, its the best one i have had yet, it comes with a pretty decent screen protector aswell. Its the hardest, most rigid skin i've had but its still flexible enough that it won't crack or split and it much better quality than the flexishield ones (i've tried one of those aswell). My phone takes some serious hammer and it still looks brand new after 6 months! lol...which even surprises me.

The Capdase Soft Jacket 2 Xpose is great.
finally got one of these ebay "soft silicon gel" transparent cases. looks ok, feels ok... no complaints really, I think it will protect my Hero just fine and isn't bulky. only 5$ including shipping
I'm using the Zagg invisibleSHIELD. I've used this on quite many of my phones, and it's great. Protects only against scratches, but on the other side, I've never been a phonecase guy, and scratches is my main phone problem. Or I'd rather say; WAS!
Capdase Smart Pocket
I should be getting my hero at the weekend thanks to an upgrade with t-mobile and I really like the look of the Capdase smart pocket for it.
I've had a look on mobilefun (linked above) and also found another site that lists it called vinko's treasures. Neither of them seem to have it in stock.
Does anyone know anywhere that stocks these cases or of any similar pouch cases that are designed to fit the hero?

I was using a gel case up to about 2 or 3 months ago, but it started to yellow quite badly. I stopped using it, and my Hero has been fine without it.

Why don't try something which is in good quality
I bought a case from ebay before, It is attractive because it sells in a lower price,
but seems I was unlucky, the case damage within about 2 month - loose sewing and can't fit to the charger hole
I try serveal online store, which I would highly recommend to you is PDair,
you may check this out:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000759
They keep the quality well and the price can be acceptable
I bought the HTC case for now. Seems to protect the phone just fine if not the best fitting case going. I've found another site that stocks the Capdase one called MobiMega (can't post links just yet) and the price works out quite cheap too. Might have to get one ordered up to compare.
Does anyone know if Zagg's invisible shield or Bodyguardz' protective film for european Touch Pro 2 will fit ATT Tilt2? Thanks
I had a similar question. I have the EU version, unbranded, and am wondering if the form factor is the same as the AT&T model. The button placement on the front looks to be identical. Can you post a picture of your battery cover?
Here we go. Looks like EU TP2, except PTT button.
Thanks for the pics. You're right, it looks like my European model. I like the color of yours better though The form seems to be the same on the backside too. Hope someone can speak to your original question for you.
My Tilt2 is arriving today and my Zagg is arriving in a couple days, so if you can wait that long and no one has supplied a sufficient response yet, I will let you know how it fits.

That would be great! Anyway, i decided to experiment a little and ordered the full set from Bodyguardz. Will let you know as well how it works
I got a rubberized hard plastic shell designed for the European model and fits the Tilt 2 quite nicely. The only drawback is there is no cutout for the PTT button. Other than that I cannot find anything wrong with the European case being used with the Tilt 2.
Thanks for the info. That should indicate that on the outside at least the two shells are the same, with the exception of the PTT button anyway ( and maybe a forward facing camera on the EU model?). I'm thinking that the screen savers and clear vinyl "cases" will be mostly interchangeable between the two types as well.
Saw this posted on another forum. I don't have any experience with this brand myself, but looks familiar to the Zagg product and it is specifically for the Tilt2:
http://www.clearprotector.com/atandt-htc-tilt-2-extended-protector.html
If memory serves this is the company that I bought a similar case from for my Wizard. Thanks for the link. I've been using the case that came in my box and like it a lot. It's slim and provides sufficient protection. This protector should complement it well, and allow me to leave the phone out of the case while driving without having to worry so much about it sliding around and getting scratched up.
I just ordered one (extended protector), for my unbranded phone and will let you know what I think of it when I get it, as well as what they're customer service is like.
These cases can be tough to get on, and you have to accept the feel of the edges of the material when handling the device after installation. But they do provide a good grip to help prevent the slippery little buggers that our phones are from jumping out of your mitts. And the material is tough to say the least. Once they're on right, they stay put and do the job.
I just looked on the bodyguardz website and saw that they have a kit for the Tilt2 now. I should have it later this week. I will post updates once I put it on.
Don't mean to hijack......
Don't mean to hijack the thread but do any of you use either of these products with a leather pouch/sleeve like an EaseCase. I'm wondering if there will be any peeling issues when sliding the device in and out of the case.
Received the TP2 kit today, just applied it to the phone. Came out ok, but the only thing that doesn't match is the front camera hole, so I left the original protector on; and I had to cut off a small peice of protector from the side for the PTT button. Probably I will try another set from somebody else.
How did they work out?

I just got a invisible shield for my tilt 2, just for the screen. It's designed for the OEM TP2, because mine had the tiny hole on the top right for the front facing camera, which the Tilt2 does not have. Other than that, perfect fit.
I like the new sponge that comes in the kit, easier to use than spraying the screen with the wetting agent.
For anyone interested in bodyguardz, now is a good time to order. They already include the 25% discount for Christmas and if you use coupon 155A6 you get another 20% off!!

Does The Isheild cover the chrome painted rim around the screen? This is what gets damaged most readily (I Know I have dropped mine out of my pocket while ridding my bike on Highway 50 in Orlando, FL.).
Anyone please reply who has a Tilt2 & Zagg Isheild installed? Does it cover the chromium = )
No, it doesn't cover the chrome. For me the screen protector also didn't fit quite right. In the process of removing and reapplying it, I have now managed to stretch it out (which necessitated cutting around the speaker so I could hear) and got all sorts of fingerprints and whatnot under it, making it useless in sunlight.
Many of the major malls in the U.S. have "kiosks" that will do a custom install.
My buddy had his ENTIRE TP wrapped, including the chrome.
I wanted to make a new thread, but decided not to clutter the board and instead ask in a couple threads for some pictures. Can anyone with the Gadgetshieldz for the ATT Tilt 2 post some hi-res images so I can see what it looks like and how it fits around the corners and sides? Thanks
Is it me or is everything for the tilt 2 expensive and HARD TO FIND or un available. I love silicon cases right, so I wanted to buy one for my new tilt 2, CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE! I found one for a T-Mobile touch pro 2 but it was black, not fitted for my device, ugly and EXPENSIVE! I tried to look for a spare stylus just in case, on Ebay I found ONE for $15!!!!!!! Tried to get a spare battery cover just in case something happened to mine, CANNOT FIND ONE ANYWHERE! Not on ebay, amazon or anywhere. I ended up ordering the european touch pro's battery cover for $20!! Batteries for the tilt 2 are hard to come across and are as much as $50 for one. I have never had so much trouble finding accessories for a phone as popular as this that is used on 4 MAJOR carriers. The pure, which is only supported on At&t has silicon cases in any color for maximum $5. Battery backs for $5-7 and the other accessories are even cheaper. Does anyone have an explanation for this, sorry for my rage I just need to express my anger towards this predicament.

The issue stems from the fact that each carrier's version of the TP2 is just slightly different enough that many accessories will only work on one or two of them...so that presents the obvious challenge to manufacturers of trying to guess which models it's worth producing compatible accessories (like cases) for.
Boxwave does carry a line of silicone-like cases for the Tilt2, but I don't know if the styling will suit you.
I feel your pain. I want a rubber case for mine and I had thought I found one on ebay (it was the only one listed). I decided to send the seller a message just to make sure that it would fit a Tilt2. He said no, it was just for the TP2, EVEN THOUGH TILT2 WAS IN THE TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It does seem like everything is for the TP2 and not the Tilt2. But that's okay, I still love the phone.
Do you think the european touch pro 2 battery back will look okay on the tilt 2? I ordered it but haven't gotten it yet, but on the plus side the annoying PTT button wont be their (YAY FOR ME!). I hope it works..... I also hope my dream of silicon cases will come true
Eh, the PTT button is decidedly ungay. use Rhodium Keyboard Config to map it to do awesome **** like rotate screen on single click, disconnect data on double click, toggle wifi on triple, and bluetooth toggle on hold...
Really? Well, if I could find a Tilt 2 battery cover i'd use it. Otherwise not an option for me....
I'm quite sick of the whole situation myself
I totally feel your pain... and Hell, I live in L.A. where you'd think you should be able to find damn near anything on a shelf somewhere, but not a chance. Not even the AT&T stores here carry anything. If you have a Blackberry or an iPhone, then you have more choices than brains, but for anything HTC, good luck. And sorry, I'm not keen on shopping for some things online and accessories for this phone with so many variables is one of them. Someone is missing out on $$$
Okay, I have succeded a huge feat that only people's wild imaginations could think up. I have completed a challange so difficult, gorrillas and llamas will be terrified to death to think of the trouble and harshness I went through to complete this amazing acomplishment. This is no longer a figment of your imagination but a reality! I have found..... A SILICONE CASE FOR THE TOUCH PRO 2! I was searching in the Amazon for the mysterious silicone case when suddenly it popped out of no where! I found green, black, purple, pink, red, blue, and any other color of the rainbow. I was tempted to attack the deal and was just about to finish and proudly show my trophy when.... Amazon doesn't support paypal.... Oh well. Just a little over exaggeration. I did find them on amazon.com but no paypal support so ima have to wait
This site has silicone and rubberized for the tilt 2. http://www.talkietech.com/athtcti2ac.html
Where? The one I found was made for the t-mobile version and is $6.
If you're willing to do a little trimming (PTT button), then most of the Touch Pro 2 plastic, rubberized and silicone cases can be used.
TP2 Silicone case from a hong kong vendor on e-bay:
sorry I can't post link because I'm a new user.

I am not sure, however, after exploring the tablet software a little bit there is an awesome desktop dock application that shows the weather, the htc clock, and facebook updates. So I take it we will see a home dock in the near feature. I wish a car dock would come out, but because of its size and legality of videos playing while driving, we probably won't see one of those.
The only two accessories that I know of are:
HTC Scribe Pen - $80
Anti-Glare Screen Protector @ AT&T - $20
- Dan
Actually, if you go to Amazon and search for HTC Puccini, a tpc case also shows up. No case, though....soon, I hope!

For anyone looking for decent case that fits the HTC Jetstream until cases that are made for this product reach the market. I have been using a Targus (Truss Leather Case / Stand) Model Number THZ07002US from Best Buy.
It’s a case that was made to fit an Acer ICONIA TAB A500 10.1 pad. It works as a cover and a stand that has three viewing angles in stand mode. It also has a slot for the styles pen but it’s a little bulky, doesn’t fit as tightly as I would like and it covers the back camera. All that said you can easily reach the on off switch, head phone jack, volume controls and even plug the unit in without taking the pad out of the case.
I still want to buy a case made for my unit that lets me use the back camera and that fits a little better but until they become available I needed some thing to protect my new overpriced but amazing Jetstream.
Looks like PDAir will be making some and rooCASE will have some nice ones ready October 19 on Amazon...they look nice.
scribe pen
is the scribe pen still coming free with the device if its bought in store? thanks
Yes, until October 15...
Pen Issues
I bought the unit in person last week, just before closing on my way home from work. The ATT store did not include the pen with my purchase and I forgot to ask for it. I went back in the am to get it and boy did it get interesting.
They started out with the story that the Pen only was included if you bought the data plan on a 2 year commitment?
I said really? Show me where it says that? I have seen the pen offered in EVERY AD as free with purchase for a limited time.
We went round and round and the finally relented but what a PIA....
ATT is truly clueless when it comes to it's own products, promotions etc.
Love the Jetstream, dont love the hoops you have to jump through.
How about NO ONE knowing when the LTE network is turning on?
Why am I paying for a data plan for something that is not ever available yet and has no timeline?
I passed on the data.
Have unlimited wifi tether on my rooted inspire so that's my dataplan.
Yeah I didnt think they were all coming with pens, hope mine has one with it ><
Didn't have that issue. I am WiFi only and they asked to register me and I said I didn't really need to because I was using it only on WiFi networks. Got the pen nonetheless.
I think you are supposed to have a data plan, but the advertising was hazy....and the ATT rep said without me asking that I got the pen. I really think it depends on the person.
ATT doesn't have good reception in my neck of the woods, so Sprint is my provider. like you, Tracy, I just tether.
Skinomi has screen protectors and skins. There is also a 25% coupon.

Case/cover for Jetstream
Picked this case up on Amazon last week.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-PUCCINI-S...H4TA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1316444249&sr=8-3
For 9.99 was not expecting much....Case is great....Soft and flexibile. Covers the back and all the corners and makes holding easy.
I recommend highly.
Tracy
Has anybody heard about a folio case that allows it to stand up, much like the Xoom case? It's really the only thing I find the device is missing.
Melkco says they are working on one. So does PDAir. RooCASE will have one ready mid-October....you can see the rooCASE on Amazon. PDAir on their own website, and I conducted Melkco on my own....
Looks like we will have to be patient. The gel case on Amazon works well for the time being....

Due to being in a rush, i got this case for $70 at WalMart
www.kensington.com/kensington/us/us/p/1615/K39336US/keyfolio™-bluetooth®-keyboard-case.aspx
Had to make some mods such as cutting a big hole for the camera and cutting some of the elastic for clear the volume and power buttons. Also cut some of the front 'frame' so the screen is fully visable.
IMPORTANT: Just be aware the two/three small holes on the top of the Jetstream are light sesons for the flash/camera, so the hole you cut for the camera must be big enough allow light access to those small holes. The BT keyboard works great with it too.

If you have or found a good case, post it here.
I bought the official case from TMO. It's a little pricey but provides excellent protection. As a matter of fact, the faucet in my bathroom leaks and I left my tablet on the counter one night. I woke the next morning and my tablet was sitting in a puddle of water that extended halfway up the case. Took the case off, wiped everything down, and plugged it back in. Worked fine. Even the liquid indicator was still white.

Ditto on the TMO case.. seems $20 too high, but honestly a pretty good hunk of hardware for your tablet. I will have one spare once I have my tablet mounted into my car dash..

Another vote for the TMo case and you are right about the price but you can buy it off Ebay for about $20 less unless you are like me and want it right now.

The brand is Incipio and I purchased mine from a TMo store for like $50. I had seen the same one on Ebay for half the price but I didn't want to wait. I checked Ebay and the case is no longer listed. I also looked on the Incipio web site and they don't even list it. I don't have a picture but the case is black and the tablet kind of snaps down into the bottom part of the case. You can open the case(it is held closed with an elastic strap) and you have three positions that the tablet can be set into. They range from a fairly good tilt to darn near upright. I have found the case to be quite nice and it really doesn't add much to the overall size. Hope this helps.

On the second picture, you can see bubbles in the microfiber. That's the glue separating because I got it wet.
I bought on ebay a smart cover like this from the auction 170821966479. It's thin, good protection and a good stand. I am very happy with it.
The TMO case is so popular in the US, but outside there are two options: universal 7 inch case or a not so bad case designed for the media pad. Search for t-mobile springboard case on ebay.
I bought a cheap-o case off eBay for $16. Listing was questionable as the sellers account was terminated the day after I bought it. I still got the case this morning after 3 weeks though. 2 problems with it. It's a little too thing for the springboard, so the outside edge around the display doesn't quit fold over all the way and sticks up. Secondly, the hole for the front facing camera is slightly off and the camera just barely peeks out from it.
Might not stick with the case though. Without the case I've always been able to stick it in my back pocket (slacks or jeans) and walk around with it to a few places, lunch breaks, dog walks, etc. With the case its a no go.

Yes, I have also found this one on eBay. I have ordered it (the same colour like lilaliend). But it never arrived (I got my money back). Fortunatelly!!
After the first attempt with eBay, I have decided to invest a bit more money and ordered a leather case from PDair:
qqq.pdair.com/index.php/ebook-reader-tablet/huawei/huawei-mediapad/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black.htmk
(in the URL please replace qqq with www and htmk with html)
You can buy it directly from PDair for $80. This is quite a lot of money. But PDair's reseller for Middle East sells the same case ("book type") for $60:
tbeyond.com/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black-p-14363.htmk
(in the URL please replace htmk with html)
Free Worldwide Shipping. Even though the reseller is based in United Arab Emirates, the case came from Hong Kong. Delivery to Germany was without any problems.
My experience with the case from PDair: The case is simply excellent. I highly recommend it. It is worth the money:
PROS:
- durable black leather
- magnets! It closes with magnets
- the tablet fits nicely into the case (in contrast to the cheap case from eBay - see post from lilaliend)
- all holes (front and rear cameras, USB and HDMI ports, charger) are precisely where they should be
CONS:
- the case is rather thick. They use multiple layers of leather (you can see it on the pictures on the PDair website). So the tablet is really well protected. But with the case you can not put the tablet into your back pocket...
TMobile Incipio case for Springboard has dropped in price
If you were to shop for it now on the TMobile site the Incipio case is now $29. That's about $15 to maybe $20 cheaper than when I bought it earlier in the year. ARGH!
I do love my case though. The only thing that's bad is when you are in portrait mode and the front cover doesn't sit nicely back when holding it in that position.

I wanted a case that had a zippered closure, for added protection. I had this case from when I had purchased the Kindle Fire. But I decided to see if it would fit the Springpad. It does, with a bit of sanding or cutting.
This is an option if you are willing to sand down or cut two nibs from the top two clips. Each clip has two nibs, the one you want to sand down or cut is the one on the right for each clip. I have attached some pictures so you can see the zippered case and the two clips above, and a close up of the cut. Mine is a bit sloppy, but hey, I'm not complaining. See pictures.

Great... I am happy with my incipio but I got this off ebay because it would be nice to prop it in portrait mode. I guess I could report how well it does when it comes.

this is my combo "temporary" case and universal stand. :laugh:
still looking for a folio-type case and I just got news that the local distributor here already has stocks and giving it for free for new buyers of MediaPad. :silly:
I wanted a case that protects the corners, could prop up the MediaPad in landscape and (!) did not cover the front (like some cases that cover the bezel around the display).
Turns out that this case for the Lenovo Ideapad A1 fits just fine. Only the hole for the camera is in the wrong place, but I don't use the Pad's camera anyway. Nice sleek design. Reeks of plastic/glue the first few days, but the smell wears off quickly and then you have a smart-looking case for your MediaPad.
Apparently this case comes with different names around the globe. Have a look at the pictures and see what's available in your country.
Hi
I'm using the EasyAcc Case for nearly a year now.
It fits great, exept the hole for the frontcamera could be a milimeter bigger.
I do not know, in it is available outside Germany.
