HTC Flyer 360° Rotating Stand Leather Cover Case With Stand - BLACK

No. I´ve meant the hard back case from HTC

The back is hard plastic, leather wrapped.
Unless your saying you already have the HTC case and you need something to go over it. If that's the case, I'd say probably not since most everything is made to fit the device by itself.

It´s the leather wrapped plastic case. At the moment I am using it together with the original white leather case. It´s a little bit tight-fitting but it works.

By the way, pay a little attention to Flyer cases who fits too tight;
1. They may cause stains especially at the top and bottom parts (rubbing with some diluted IPA or cologne water will do the trick)
2. I've also faced an interesting problem. The cases that fully cover the tablet makes the G-sensor not work. Like in the pic.
Therefore it seems, one has to use cases that hold or cover the tablet from the edges.

Is it real leather ? How does it feel ?

This guy has the rotating one for $7.99 shipped and he's i n the USA. It just has a slight imprint of the rotating side on it from back packing from China. You won't find it anywhere else under $12 now let alone from a US seller. My luck, the guy went on vaca before shipping mine out. Quite peeved. Would've spent a few dollars more and gotten something from Amazon with Prime like this one.. Great case. Have the same one for the Transformer and Icona A500.

I bought the $7.99 rotating case and its great. It actually has a hard shell mount with a leather (synthetic I presume) covering.... great looking ,great function, great price.

That's exactly the one I got, and there was absolutely no imprint or defect of any kind. Good deal.

Same experience here.

Hi,
After months of putting it off (whilst discovering more and more cases coming onto the market all the time) I went for this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/StilGut-Ult...5QZ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321807531&sr=8-1
At £34.90 not cheap but:
*I wanted the corners protecting, rather than all the edges and not the corners like it seems many flyer cases have...
*wanted a pen holder that protected the nib a little better (but now I can see it doesn't actually fully protect the nib)
*Superb build quality, lovely leather smell!
*Very simple design.
*The screen is completely unhindered, which I also thought was a plus compared to some designs where the case can encroach on the touchscreen.

Looks like I got a more expensive, but identical product to this:

Always the case... (sorry, no pun intended)

When the front flap is closed is it a very tight fit against the the Flyer's screen?
I ask this because I have exactly the same case but the outside is in a imitation carbon fibre material & it is very tight fitting so much so that the flap would put too much pressure on the screen & I'm afraid in the long term it will cause damage.

This one I bought is yummy leather with a spongy cushion feel... The fit is tight but just kind of catches the curved side of the body, firm, but not too firm IMO... I don't expect it to damage the screen or even the body at all.

That's a nice design. Does it seem to continue to rotate well with regular use?

How about this hard case?
Hi,
XDA wouldn't let me post the url so please search google "flyer skin case" and the first post from amazon is the one I'm talking about.
Anyone tried this? I'm debating between the 360 which I think is very handy to have and a case which is less bulky and can fit in my pockets. Yes, I can fit the flyer in my pockets .
Thanks!

My case came in today, the supposedly dented one from ebay had not dent at all. Going to look good on my flyer once it comes in

I have the one your talking about and its not bad. I also have this one and like it much more:http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Black-...77ZG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322813150&sr=8-2
Its hard rubber as the one your talking about is flexible rubber, they both have the same feeling. It also has a face plate that secures the case on tight. Its on Prime so free 2 day ship.
Im waiting for the otterbox case to come in the mail. From the 100 or so cases I looked at it seemed to be the best.

Cool Silicone Covers and cases?

Think there will be cool silicone covers and unique cases for the Touch HD similar to the iPhone? One thing about my Touch Pro and Tilt I have is they don't make silicone covers due to the slide out keyboard. On rare occasions I've dropped my Tilt on asphalt and scratched it bad.
Just want a good protector for a 1000 dollar phone when it comes out.
Would appreciate any info or rumors of accessories coming out..
Thanks
haven't heard of anything yet. But, some of the iphone accessories might fit since they are almost identical in size...
What about those invisible shields? They are transparent stickers essentially that cover the entire phone. I think it would be better to have that as it protects the phone from scratches and still leaves the cool uncased form factor. I saw one on my friend's iphone. Looked fine.
Seidio case for the HD?
I wonder if there will be a Seidio case for the Touch HD, as I'm very satisfied with the one I have for my TyTn II (it literally saved it's life)

I'm using a black Belkin silicone case meant for an iPhone 3G. I had to cut a hole for the camera and the headphones. It fits, but not too tight. I think it will hold me over until the official HD models hit the market.

What do you think about the original silicon case from HTC (HTC Touch HD Silicon Case SC S420)?

You think it would fit together with the leather case I am getting from digitec.ch?

looks nice, but not available until next year... i don't want to wait; i'd rather protect now with something cheaper an purchase HTC's version later.
My silicon arrived from ebay today. Package contains the case, a replacement screen protector (which I will not use - waiting for invisishield) and a useless neck strap (useless in that there is no strap loop on the case!).
The case itself fits easily, makes the Hd easier to hold in the hand, and makes me much less scared of dropping it.
Of course, now I have introduced a new surface into the equation, the propensity for scratches via this method increases. However, the fit is pretty good and I certainly prefer this to having the paintwork exposed all the time.

One of these came today. It is specifically for the THD. The fit is good the cut outs in the right place and the buttons sound and off operable through the rubber.
At £3.49 It will do for now.

[Q] Case-mate Pop

Does anyone know anything about this case? It's not showing up on the Case-mate website, but they have it here in stock ready to ship. Has a kickstand and I was just wondering if anyone has this or has any more info on it.
19.99 + 3.95 shipping. Not bad. It's selling for 29.95 everywhere else. I'm going to buy it, but I was just hoping that someone that if someone has it I can know what to expect. Thanks guys!
i just saw this yesterday on ebay, but i do not like the front back snap of the case, i bought the $35 Platinum with kickstand from best buy instead. The kickstand isn't the best, but the case slides on top and bottom, much more secure against drops. Plus its the exact case that seidio is going to release, they make the Platinum series for best buy. Doesn't bother me that i can't charge while in kickstand mode, maybe there will be "slim-head" chargers to accommodate for it in the future.
just got in my casemate tough, pop, barely there. pop is easily the worst of the bunch.
-pros
feels more durable than the tough
kickstand
-cons
thicker than tough
black and gray accents not really nice looking, imo
kickstand is a small flimsy piece of plastic. looks VERY easy to break
-worst con
dont know if it was just me but once i stuck my 3d in, it couldnt come out. was prying on my evo3d for 5 mins to get it out, back cover actually popped off while still in case. had to pry off that very carefully since it was so thin it might break.

Thanks. Sounds like this isn't a very good case. I'm glad I got it for $20. I will buy another if I don't like it, but from your description it sounds like I won't. I like to be able to easily get my phone out of the case. I also have a TPU case on the way. I do like to be able to easily interchange cases depending on what I am doing and if it is really that hard to get it out if this thing I think it may be a dust collector.
I saw it at the sprint kiosk yesterday. It didn't look too appealing. Looked like it had a rubber sleeve that fit inside the actual case part. The kickstand looked cheap. And it was 40 bucks! The guy pulled out like 15 cases. I walked away with the smoke honeycomb tpu case. Fits like a glove.

They start to look like crap after a week or 2. The silicone starts peeling and cracking and stretches out. I went through 2 replacements before finally getting my money back. This was for my Thunderbolt though.
Had one on my hd2, scratched the hell out if it. Also the corners cracked off. Will never buy case mate again

The only case I've ever had that I liked better then the casemate pop is the Speck CandyShell. I dont see the point in leaving the sides pure silicone, I'd like to see it completely enclosed like the candyshell is. Speck must have a patent on that design or something because no one else ever makes them like that. I wouldn't be surprised to see Speck put one out for the Evo 3D either. But this White/Grey Casemate Pop is sick.. it really is. Highly recommend it. Only downside so far is it does add some weight and it doesnt fit in the iGrip dock like my TPU cases will.

I should be receiving mine tomorrow. I've noticed any case with a kickstand is bulky. I tried the Platinum one from BB and it added bulk as well but the kickstand was flimsy. Even from the pix I've seen, the official HTC case looks bulky. It might just be something we have to live with if we want a kickstand on this phone. I had a nice red Amzer snap-on case for my OG Evo and it felt like nothing was added to the phone. If they can make one like that with a kickstand, we'd be good to go.
Anyone noticed that when using the kick stand, the charging port goes to the bottom? Not a huge deal but for those who watch lots of youtube or movies...

With the new pics and people posting their reviews that actually have the case I am glad I bought this now. I bought the black and grey one and it hopefully will be here late this week or early next week. It just shipped yesterday and the estimated delivery is the 13th, but I think it will be here before that. I will post pics of the black and grey one when I get it.

Thin case

Hi there,
Im looking for thin case.
Best I have found is this case on ebay
Design is not bad, but its not covering glass area around the camera.
Questions:
1. Is there any thin case(plastic, rubber) that covers that?
2. Anyone tried skins? Will they remove easily(considering phone is jeans pocket)?
3. Those who are using various rubber, gel, hybrid and so on cases, how much fatter is your phone with them? If its not that much fatter suggestions on good cases then

I have tried them all, best case is either the capdase brand or official HTC TPU case. They both let your phone slide into your pocket easy, don't bulk out your phone, look great and offer good protection.
The Ebay jobs are just cheap rubbish you get fed up with after a week or 2.

Look up the Kraken AMS. That is a reasonable case.
Alternatively just look for something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-HAR...sesPouches&hash=item3a6a2fac16#ht_1887wt_1396
Best thing about this type of case is it doesn't add too much bulk, and is easy to get in and out of your pocket (unlike a silicone/rubber case). And it will actually protect your phone in a drop unlike that case you linked to in your original post. As for your screen... only BIG cases include a plastic layer to completely cover the glass.
Are you just looking for something with raised edges, and then use a screen protector perhaps? (Like the ebay one I showed you).
http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Superle...1HVI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1333169597&sr=8-9
this has been the best case for me so far, its very thin, and has a rubber skin with a hard plastic shell..the kraken, and defender are way to big for me. this case is just the right size its about the same size as a tpu case.

My case looks exactly the same and it was £3 from amazon.
IMO the thinnest cases are the back cases ones that doesnt really cover the top and bottom bezel...just the sides and back. BUT if you really want to protect your phone and not get it scratched up over time, you are better off using a TPU type case as the are not too thick and are of softer material and will not rub off any of the black anodized paint. Unlike any hard cases, whether its back only or 2 pieces. Also TPU cases are more absorbent during accidental drop on hard surfaces.
I was running seidio 2pc case hard case w/kick stand with my first 3d and although it had felt inside it eventually rubbed off the pain on the top corners of my phone. The felt inside was very thin and the case is not skin tight so it would move some and the slight movement of the case over time eventually sandpapered some of the paint off. TPU or rubber type cases are more skin tight and is not as abrasive as plastic on painted metal and will not damage the paint so long as you also clean it off from time to time. Some dirt can eventually get in between and the dirt will act as sandpaper. So just consider this when you're buying a case as some of you would probably like to sell your phone later down the road or just want to keep it looking new for a long time.
Finally found ultra thin(slim) case

Those thin cases are the exact same thing as the case mate barely there cases. Much cheaper. I got the rock brand and like it a lot. You do lose that boot of protection at top and bottom though.
Some people have complained that these type of cases are a bit loose on the sides. Easy fix is to lightly squeeze the sides inwards... tight fit!

Hard Case w/ Smart Cover

Has anyone found anything similar? I'm not a huge fan of leather cases as they never seem to fit properly. I'm probably being too picky but here's what I'm looking for:
Hard back cover - if leather it mustn't be flimsy or overly bulky
Clip to all corners of the tablet - the ones that only clip on the top and sides always seem to slide off.
Thin is a plus
Some means of standing the tab in one or more position is a positive
Absolutely no velcro anywhere
Prefer to not covered any part of the screen - black part included
I'd be content with something like an otterbox commuter with a kickstand. Or a nice portfolio cease that clips on all corners and magnetizes closed.
What have you found?

Thanks for the link. Do you own one of these? It's difficult to judge from the website. Can you answer a few questions.
I like that it connects on 4 corners but does the bottom two corners not slip off to stand it up? If so, does the device ever slide down (this has been my experience with other devices)? How difficult is it to pop the bottom corners off? Seems like it'd eventually damage the bottom of the device.
Does it close by means of a clasp or a bungy cord?
How bulky is it?

Yes, I own one.
Yes, the bottom two corners clip off to stand it up but it doesn't/can't slide down, the side clips are tight to prevent this. It's not actually difficult to clip off the bottom corners, indeed they really just sit in place to hold the device - to be honest, if you cut them off the Prime would still not slip straight out.
It clasps closed at the top centre, by the camera. Just like the corners really, it clips over the top.
Some people might be concerned about securing/removing the clasp or corners will damage the device. I don't think this will happen though, the material is soft and nothing requires a lot of force.
It's not too bulky, it feels good in my hands. It's quite stiff (not floppy) which I like and it has some good padding which adds to the bulk but it's perfectly acceptable to me. It's also very light.
I received it last Thursday and really do love it. I hate cases but felt I needed one because the Prime is tender. Most of the cases I've seen are not so nice but I really do like this one (for the price).
Here's the expensive version:

Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it. I'm going to shop a little more but I'm definately leaning towards the case you bought (not spending $80 on a case...lol). If you think of anything, good or bad, in the next few days please let me know.

This case - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006PWGESY/ref=aw_d_detail?pd=1 - looks identical to the minisuit case mentioned earlier in this thread. Makes me think they're made by the same company or private labeled.

Yep, they're all the same, check out the video review on YouTube for the Blurex version.
I have had the Poetic Case for the 201 and keyboard and have been relatively happy, the only exception being I didn't like how much thickness and bulk it added. Yesterday I got my Sikai Case and so far I am pretty happy.
One piece, when you have the keyboard attached it covers all of it, when you don't there is a minimal bit of extra material where the hinge cover is. Overall it is a pretty good bit of kit, fits nice and tight on all four corners of the tablet, and seems to stand acceptably by itself.
FWIW I think a good deal for the price.
Cheers,

New Rezound now I need protection!

NO not THAT type of protection :angel: Ordered my new Rezound today and am looking for a good screen protector, case, etc. I have done a little searching on topic and I see alot of "I wish they made this for the Rezound" and not many consistent reviews. I am a mechanic and with my old DINC I had the issue with metal shavings even if I put in a small ziplock bag. Anyone have a good cheap fix to this problem so I don't immediately screw my new phone? I have found: CASE and PROTECTOR that I like so far. The realook seemed to be on par or similar to the steinheils people seem to worship. thanks in advance
screen protector
I work in a machine shop, so i get shavings as well
On my BB the chips would get into the speaker and cause problems
I use best skins ever protector without any case and have not had problems.
easy install, smooth feel works great

that's interesting, is it just a plastic shield for front and back?
If bulk is not an issue, I'd suggest getting the Otterbox Defender case. I has a built-in screen protector and will make it pretty hard to damage your new phone. Check them out here....

By the way, you can find them cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. I have no affiliation with any of the companies mentioned in this post.
I agree with mefloump, I just purchased the Otterbox Defender and it works great. I highly recommend it.
I've been looking at it too. I have someone else with one on an iphone. Nice cases.
Check out the ZaggShield. Definitely my favorite.
will def give those a look at. I was a little concerned about "bulk" how bulky is it? Like I keep my phone in my pocket (non saggy/baggy) am I going to have problems fishing it out? lol

IMO, I don't think you will be able to get it in your pocket with the defender case. It comes with a holster though. Personally I use the body glove case because it is slim fitting.

Just ordered a seidio surface case from amazon I'll let you know how it is. I wanted protection without adding to much bulk and it was the nicest one I found.

your best bet is zagg! order online for 16 or 17 buck + shipping, but it is a lifetime replacement if anything happens to it
Not sure if it was suggested but get the Zagg screen protector and pop out the screen protector that comes with the Defender case. You'll be pretty protected.
Phones: HTC Droid Incredible // HTC Rezound (current)
I would look into ghost armor if I was you. They are the best screen protection I have ever found but I wouldnt order one and put it on yourself, they put it in a littlte hot box to cook it to the screen. Amazing feel, almost cant tell its there, and they do a little demo by intentionally scratching it with car keys and what not with no damage.
I've been pretty happy with tpu cases, very thin yet durable. I've actually dropped it a few times with no problems. And to top it all off I just got one off eBay for about $2.. I also use the cheap screen protectors because they feel smooth and if I scratch them it's not the end of the world.

Thats funny you say that. I am a field tech with Yale, the yellow forklift company, and thats actually what I did too for the first couple of months of owning the Rezound. I carried that sucker around everywhere with it inside of one of those little parts ziplock type bags from work.
