sleek hard case - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all,
I work at a restaurant, and at work today I saw this guy with an x10 and a hard black case, atleast it looked that way it could of been soft plastic but it fit so well to the phone I doubted that. anyways the case was superb, covering the hard buttons but clearly showing the markings of the buttons on the case. I never got a chance to ask him, so has anyone reengineering or have a case like this or similar?? thanks a lot!

You can give it a try on eBay. I found some there. But can't buy because I'm from Romania and the transport is almost the same as the cost of the product. They are not expensive. I've made an order from a firm in Romania that has them from silicone. When I get it, I'll post an opinion.

seen some on ebay.
theyre not completely hard plastic, but not silicone either..
I think they were called "jelly" (even tho it's not anything like jelly)
just look for X10 case, and order them from lower price to more expensive.
I found them on the 3rd page or so.

Easecase Custom MADE Leather case for HTC TOUCH HD

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/A2-EASECASE-C...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
anybody know where can i find a similar product and put my name on it, but cheaper...
anybody know something like this?
(I would like one for HTC Prophet to...)
Great Case
I purchased the horizontal belt mount version last month from the same manufacturer. Service and build quality was great. Received in 8 days. Considering this is manufactured in China doubt you will be able to find a custom made case like this for a lower price.
Leather case
Woooww!!!
These things kick ass!!! Brought myself the A1 straight away!
30 euros is very acceptable for this kind of custom made quality stuff!!
Thanks for posting this!! Very pleased with it!
Thnks!!!
Floris!
I've ordered an A1 too.
Think these prices are reasonable, especially considering the customisation options...
Hope it looks as slick as in the pictures
well i will buy the E4 version, i asked if the can put more card holders, and the answer was YES! if anybody have more things that is good to include in the case post it here, something that I forgot to be usefull...
Received mine and I am very very impressed.
Totally customised case to you spec with choice of cover, internal lining, clasp mechanism, belt loop and case design.
In fact I've ordered an alternative design, before the next new HTCs come out and they stop supporting our lovely HD's.
And if you ask nicely, the fella who controls the ebay account.. He can change even the colour of the stitching.
I ordered a case from him, and asked if I could have white or grey stitching, and he said yes.. Any colour..
I went with grey..
Recieved my case today..
No extra customs charges for delivery to uk. Well packaged, in a lovely gift box, and cloth pouch..
and the case................
Is simply STUNNING..
I recommend totally this guy for the cases, they are great. Excellent quality. made specially for this HD, customisable..
Go get one now..
easecase
I ordered a D2 case today, with extra holes for the usb charger and a hole for the headphone.
Will let you know how good it is made.
Communications with the guy in China is excellent.
Sounds good, can anyone make a picture of these? And how can i find more of these on ebay?

for now i only found this one on ebay. (custom made)
On ebay
Search for: "easecase touch hd" - I've just ordered my second one of these (an A2) to go with my D3 which is very protective but a little fat for a suit jacket.
The build quality is amazing and the price is justified. I also asked for a customisation and was entirely accommodated.
I cannot recommend these highly enough, but can't post pictures from here, although the eBay postings do have a lot of accompanying imagery.
Wow.
I had another thread discussing the E5 model of the case (one that resembles a wallet) and I had been holding off on buying one until my 'guinea pig'... er, I mean until I heard back from another member who was also ordering that case.
But the sheer number of positive comments on here have made up my mind.
Also, it sounds like the seller is extremely helpful, so I'm sure he'll be able to help with any questions I might have.
i bought a b1 model~and itz really good, i have a simliar wallet from GG Armani~~ what i can tell is the easecase is compareble with the armani's work~~however, i have been using the wallet for 4 yrs though~~

PDair's flip-top leather case

I just got it, and I must say it HORRIBLE. By all means, do not buy it. The white stitching is so ugly I don't understand why I even bought it, and the worst thing is that there's no cut out for the back camera. According to Clove.co.uk, it has a cut out, but the pictures are inaccurate. But I bought it from PDAir because they are cheaper.
So this was a huge waste of money. So disappointed...
If someone can recommend a flip-top leather case that covers all sides, and cover the entire front of the device (unlike piel farma's), I'd love to hear about it (and see pictures if possible).
is this the one you bought?
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000630&products_id=16548
its clear from the pictures that it doesnt have cut out for the camera....
damn slow internet... double post... sorry

I know, but as I contacted Clove's the customer service they clearly said that it does have a cut out. The pictures weren't that clear to me, so I asked. It totally screwed me up...

Well we both liked the sleek look of the Diamond2, so you might dislike the case as I did. It doesn't have a "sophisticated" look like iPhone leather casings, it just has a cheap look and feel. And the lack of back camera cut out is just peculiar...
I ordered another one, this time from Proporta. Now I have to figure out what to do with PDAir's casing, since it cost me 28$ (!) for a really mediocre case.
Don't panic by my words, try it for yourself.
cant you get a refund?
hmmm... I myself just ordered pdair book type case for $28... it does have a cut out, and I hope its good... i think the looks is good enuf, and I have been using similar pdair case for my blue angel for 5 years... and this is the main reason why I am buying another one...
the quality is good and the looks is not bad... I like the white stitching...
btw, is this the one you are buying now?
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....&product=4F830A92-3B1D-4449-9115-D48F0CCC3419
looks that it doesnt have a cut out too
if you want a good quality one, try:
Piel Frama http://www.mobilehornet.com/archives/2629.
its not cheap though... but then again, you get what you paid for

Yes, it's the one I got. I know the pictures don't show the cut out, but they are not very clear so I sent clove an e-mail to verify this. To my amazement they said it does include a cut out, so I bought it. Sometimes the pictures in the site do not represent the reality.
The book type casing is better I believe, it has a cut out and it looks better. I rather use a flip type, so it's not relevant to me.
I don't like Piel's case because the top of the device is not covered properly, it's peeking out of it. It's like they didn't design the casing very well...
The case came today and to be honest I really like it. I like the look and it feels anything but cheap to me. Yes there is no cut out for the camera buy u just pull back the flip easily to take a photo. Maybe I'm easily pleased but I'm glad I got this now. Phone feels really secure and safe and looks good to me folks
guys, just out of curiosity, did you order your pdair from pdair.com? cause I ordered mine on 18th/06 and they said they would only start shipping it on 24th.. and it would take 7-20 days via hongkong post office to send it to indonesia.... thats a long time...
where did you buy your pdair case, where are you and how long does it take?
cheers
mod please delete this... sorry

I'm happy to hear you like the case, as I was very disappointed.
I bought mine from PDAir.com, i'm from Israel and it took about two weeks.
I'm suprised by the comments about the quality
side by side my daimond case with my vario ...the quality is the same as the porprota case except that there is no metal insert over the screen. I guess it is slghtly more bulky as a design

["More." Review] Leather case (Buffalo Collection)

Hi,
As Aussiebum for metallic covers, I just find out this website on XDA.
>>> www.more-thing.com <<<
More. is a chinese brand located in Hong-Kong. This could be a bit frightening for some people but however, there products looked nice and I was looking for a new case since I got bored of my ebay stuff (12$).
Too big, too thick, too large... not really practical. (That's what she said )
Let's get back to "More."
They have two types of cases : leather and metallic.
(Here all the blackstone stuff)
The price for both is around 30$.
I asked for a leather Buffalo Collection. They send really quickly, impressive !
When you receive it, you really get impressed by the packaging.
Trully neat and when you just threw 30 bucks... appreciate that.
The case itself has fine finish. No strange seam & perfect cut.
One problem : it smells like hell some chemical dye thing... It has been in my pocket for a day and still strongly smells. It's not really a disgusting smell, it's between "new product's" smell and tannery's smell... Hope you see what I mean.
All inside the case, some "fur-like" soft matter protects the phone. I think it also wipes the screen... so, I like it !
Phone looks quite safe in it !
The phone fits perfectly, doesn't move at all.
= great case despite the lack of originality
Positiv points :
Nice finish
"Fur-like" inside is really awesome
Has style
Not really expensive
Negativ points :
Smells like hell
Not enough choices for the cases
Lack of originality
Just saw your review after placing my order. Kinda bought it on impulse hope I don't regret it. Can post more pictures? How many days did it take to arrive and which country you from? I chose the more expensive delivery method. Will I be able to use invisible shield together with this case?
Thank you very much...
I was afraid of more. being some kind of fake company. So i'll order right away!
Guys i bought a buffalo case too after looking at the TS review. However there was a defect in my case and I am very displeased. Thus wrote them a letter. My letter is shown in this post, and their response will be updated there. To those contemplating buying this case, I would advise you to hold on for a while and look forward to their response. My post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533214
how about the metalics case anyone tried it??
edit: click the top post aussiebum..

has anyone tried this case??

I have tried the search but couldnt find anything about these.
So has anyone tried this case???
I have tried the original, a pouch and a hard rubber case but i wasnt fully happy with them. this however looks sorta like what im after.
Im just wondering if anyone has one and what they think of it? has it lasted a while or does it fall apart when you touch it??
Thanks
looks like what im after and cheep too, shame its for lefties as it opens the wrong way!
but its the right way for the phone flip, i was looking for one in the market today but couldnt find one, my mate got one for his 5800 and it seems really good, but his was cheaper on ebay lol
TP2 case
Not sure about protocol for selling stuff on here but I'm a saddler and have made a few phone cases for people.
I've got a TP2 myself and have done one for another owner as well.
I've attached a couple of pics of the miniture handbag style case I did for my wife and a semi completed case for a customers touch pro 2.
More pictures of other work available, if anyone wants to see let me know.
I keep a range of leathers in stock at most times from the softer 2mm hides upto the very best quality English bridle leathers and prefer to use dyed through leather as opposed to the cheaper tooling leather that is then stained to suit.
You can get me on 07988-518176 or [email protected]
Cheers

Apologies if this should be in a different topic.
that is some very good work!!!! but unfortunately its not what im after

Hey mate, any info on the case?

I didnt put it on till a long while after i got it because i just couldnt be botherd LOL

the side with 1 tab broke on me yesterday so ive got 2 useless cases.
dont bother with this case people, the tabs are a nightmare!!

Alumor X10 Case

Hey,
I was actually thinking about buying one of these. Is there anyone here, who uses one and can give me a short review about the pros and cons? I'm just looking for some case, which doesn't add too much bulkness, but still protects the phone.
Cheers

I use some silicone case atm, but it feels very bulky and not that safe. As of now, it isn't hard to access the usb-port, but I dunno bout the alumor case though.
I've been using a Capdase Alumor case since I got my X10 so I can't compare with anything else, but I think it's a great case.
It adds a bit of weight (as you'd expect from an all metal/rubber case) but I like that because it makes the phone feel more solid. Phone's been dropped from '8 year old daughter' height, and survived with no damage to the phone and only a slight scrape on the back of the case.
It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out of the case if you need to, but there's no real need. All of the X10's buttons are covered with rubber, but they all work fine. You have unrestricted access to the USB socket. Access to the 3.5 mm jack socket is very slightly restricted because the rubber has a bevel around the hole for some reason (strength I guess), but this is only an issue if you have a really thick plastic bit on your headphone jacks (my Sennheiser CX300s fit fine )
I was concerned about the rubber coming away from the metal on one part of the case, but it's not got any worse since I got it, so I guess it's ok. Rubber seems to be holding up well to regular 'in and out of pocket' use.
All in all, I'd recommend this case (and no I don't work for Capdase ). I got mine from Mobilefun in the UK and they're great (no, I don't work for them either!). They seem very cheap in that link above - watch out for fakes!!!
EDIT: Oh, and no problem opening the USB plastic cap (no harder than it is anyway, that is)
That thing looks pretty thick !!
I dont know if u like your phone looking and feeling thick, bc i got this clear plastic case and it makes the phone feel really chunky in my hand and not to mention the metal casing in the ebay picture looks thicker then my plastic case. but the case looks good tho just letting u know u might not like the feel.
LOL , It's almost an Otterbox clone HA HA HA HA
How do you know if its fake? I'm currently using one.

No idea, but the cases in the link above are <$5 and the one I bought was ~£15.
Now, maybe I got screwed on price, but if they're that cheap it would make me suspicious.
At the end of the day, I guess it doesn't really matter as long as the case is good quality and protects the phone. If you get it for $5, then you're a winner
Allright I'll take a shot. We'll see where I buy it from, but still being aware of possible fakes I'll probably buy on Mobilefun. Well as for the bulk and phone feeling thick, I'll see that once it arrives, the weight doesn't matter to me as long as it's protected.
Review!
Give us a review of the case if u get it thnks!! i would like to find a better case since i really cant find many in local stores.

Sorry to bring up a fairly old topic, but I figured its still better than to make a new one.
Can anyone post some pictures of this case fitting on their x10?
All the images on the internet were just sample images, I could not tell how it looks like in real.
I'm looking to buy a white one to put on my black X10, really would like to know how that would look, thanks
Alumor pictures
I have had this case since 12/2010. The one piece aluminium case wraps the sides & bottom & is completely lined with rubber extending to include the retaining rim. The case goes on & off very easily. The seal is very tight on the phone. I carry the phone on construction jobs with alot of dust, but no damage to the phone. All buttons press easily & 3.5 jack, USB , speaker, camera lens all have cutouts.
I have had to superglue some of the rubber along the edges once but not since & the case back is more slick than the phone back, making it tough to palm, but with pinky finger practice (supporting bottom of phone) is easily overcome. The metal case is very durable & takes drops well. The case does add bulk but is minimal for the metal protection & still goes in&out of pocket well. I still use the phone both with and without the case.
I paid $25.11 US including shipping from Hong kong to Ohio, USA.

Thanks for the review and photos, I am sure you are the first to post the photos of the product in so many angles. It's helpful to some of us.
Capdase is actually one of some reliable companies here in SEA.
I am using their flip-top leather case, thinking of getting alumor metal whenever I want to travel light.
i bought this case last friday in hk for HKD 98 (ie USD 12.6002)
it's a great case but i felt a bit bulky
so i remove the backcover of x10
and my phone is as slim as before!!!
this morning i received the case, is very beautiful.
cool! looking forward to get one!
I agree with prior post. Remove the back cover for a thinner phone. Case is still tight also.

i would like to see someone drop their x10 in that
