screen and case _ Look at my post on 04/04 at 00:44!! Is this for real???

Hi,
first of all does anyone know where i can get a good scree protector and case??
Also .. i have been using my desire today and I have fingerprints on my screen. What is the best way to get my screen clean without scratching it. Has anyone else got this as well?

Microfiber cloths i find are best. I by a pack of 6 kent ones for about £3 from Asda. I normally change the cloth every couple of weeks. I'm in to car detailing and use the same ones when cleaning the inside of my vauxhall astra VXR..

Can you post the link where you bought your Microfiber cloths?
That's only for cleaning the screen, right?

Case and pen
I got my case and i pen that i ordered from Amazon the case fits properly but doesn't offer that much protection but it does the job. The pen that came with it works fine could be better but it works. Pictures are below.
Link is below but i think they changed the case you get with it.

Hi Y´all!
This might be a stupid question but never the less:
The Legend screen cover is hardened glass.
Given the nature of this thread can i then assume that Desire´s screen front is plastic?
Haven´t found the ansver in any of the reviews so far.
Edit:
Never mind! found the ansver, It´s glass. then why use screen protectors surely they´ll attrack fingerprints as well?

Hi,
I ordered the same case (from Ebay).
However, click on the link you have put on ... the case has changed.
And the one that you and I have bought is now £40 more!!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brand-Luxur...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270338006&sr=1-2
I got mine from ebay for £6.99 (he said he would send it off on the same day so I paid the higher price on ebay to get it quicker but I have not received it yet).
And on ebay it is £60 now! I thought it was a mistake until I checked it out on Amazon!
Is this for reel?

its from the same user, but not exactly the same product, from the pic, the higher price is claimed to be leather, "real leather" so thats why its higher IMO

I would say none of us buy it... 45 pounds is a lot of money for a... case... even be it for the HTC desire... so the price will definitely go down in the next few weeks to a more normal £8-9 pounds for a real leather case.

So the tip of the phone stays out I assume! I don't know how comfortable it is to slide it in and out of this case, but I don't like it, looks like it can scratch the phone from both sides with the edge of the opening.
Anyway, I've used a case with the Hero from Clove, and it's so practical and protective of the phone. A similar one for the Nexus One can be found here.
It should work for the Desire i think.
Edit: The quoted link shows a different case, refer to attachment in post #4

dunno why the price has jumped up so high, i dunno if it's a mistake, or it is real leather and they accidentally put the price low.

What I am saying guys that this case
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brand-Luxur...7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270372814&sr=1-7
use to be about £5-£6
Now look at the price!!! Why the sudden increase? It is almost ten times the price I got it for! ( I still have to receive mine but other people have received theirs!)

I do not think it is a mistake as they have the higher price on Ebay too now.

Because I have not received it yet so I do not want to email them asking them!

I have just got this case from e-bay and it also comes with screen protecter and cloth for under £5
click photo for link to e-bay

those brown leather dopod pouches can still be purchased for between £6-£7 from "no1accessory" on amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/r...0SV&rh=p_4:first2savvv&ie=UTF8&qid=1270382200

If you've moved onto a desire from a G1 like i have, the soft pouch that comes with the G1 is a great fit for the desire.

Just got these screen protectors and they arn't very good, seconds after i put it on there was scratches on there and its very thin.

"Free" Stealth Guard Full Body Cover (Only pay S&H)

I saw a thread in the marketplace section of the forum for free Stealth Guard body covers. So I checked out the Stealth Guard website and they are indeed selling free body covers (you only pay the shipping) I picked one up for my Captivate and paid only $2.89!
I thought I'd post it here because I think this is a really good deal. **Mod Edit - Advertising Links Removed**
And I found on Android Forums a review comparing Zagg and Phantom Skinz and Stealth Guard in pretty good detail: http://androidforums.com/motorola-d...ector-reviews-zagg-vs-phantom-vs-stealth.html

Thanks for the share. Just ordered mine and it did notify me that it'll send a tracking number to my email.

It is not really free - it is $2.85 with free shipping. A second set is $2. This will cost them $0.49 to ship in US via first class mail.
If you want to cover your phone in clear vinyl, it is probably a decent product - as good as the others, but no special deal is coming anyones way.

Seems like a great deal to me for that price.

Meh... I have never been a fan of the full body clear protection because the corners (what'll get done in the most) are still left open.

That's what I'm thinking... A full body cover for less than $3? That's a steal to me, especially since skins like Zagg cost around $20.
The thread in the marketplace about this offer seems to be gone now, but I read success stories of people buying four for about $11 and some change and I haven't really heard anything negative about these covers (I've heard the occasional THESES SUCK but like 1% of the time). I might pick up a few more.
The only bad thing i've read, now that i think about it, is that it doesn't come with any solution to spray on

I just ordered 2 for $4.85 shipped.
I like skins because you can put them on the phone underneath a snap-on cover and it protects the phone from the stuff that gets inside the cover and scratches the device.

Just ordered mine. I read that the screen protector (which is all I'll be using) is high quality and has a smooth glide to it. Thanks for the post!

So i've been reading around about these Stealth Guard shields and I have found quite a few more 'these are crap' posts. From what I've read, as a body case don't expect much, but as a screen cover, it's awesome.
When I get mine I'll post a review of what I think of it as a screen protector.

I bought a set for my Wife's iPhone before they were available for the Captivate. It's okay on the iPhone, it didn't fit very well, but for $3 it's worth it. I also bought one for my neighbors Droid. No word on if he installed it yet.

Did you use any liquid solution when you installed the screen protector or anything else?

Thanks a TON! After dealing with the Zagg, I'll gladly try this out.

Thank for sharing !!! I just ordered one

Not Received
I ordered last week. Have not received mine yet.
How long does it take?

Ordered a couple of these as well. I'm currently using a skinomi screen protector, and I don't think I'm taking it off. But I wanted to check out the rest of the cover. For the price dont' think I can really go wrong.

Epik Gel Case for MT4G

I bought one of these for my MyTouch3G last year, and thought it was the BEST case I've ever had for a phone. I'm desperately wanting one for my MT4G, but haven't found one anywhere online yet. Anyone know where we can get these? I bought mine on eBay for $4.99 and free shipping from Hong Kong, and I got it in less than 2 weeks.
Here's a link to a current eBay auction for the MT3G version so you can see what I'm talking about...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...0&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123#ht_5478wt_876

I agree, those are the best cases I've used. Had one for my original MyTouch and loved it. Hopefully they will get in gear and make them for the 4G now.

That's like the TPU cases others have mentioned, and been on the lookout for on eBay.
I like how they're flexible, but not plain silicon, and maintain the profile of the phone as much as possible.
I gotta pick up something pretty soon. I'd consider just a Phantom Skinz, but with a 3 year old who loves Angry Birds running around the house I need something that offers some drop protection.

i had been looking for these aswell. i bought one for my curve last yr from this guy. clicked this post in hopes to find that you had found them lol. i sent the seller an email asking about these for the 4g. ill check back in if/when he responds

How well does that case absorb a shock if the phone is dropped? I really like how its molded really well to the body-lines of the phone and doesnt look thick. Let us know asap when you do find out if they sell them yet! Thanks!

Dear cw54o,

weeks
- dcmugen88

That's awesome news about him getting these cases in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm on my second T-Mo case, and I really haven't been too thrilled with them. Way too much money IMO for cases like these, and I'm considering returning/exchanging my newest one (soft rubber sleeve with white plastic backing) because the rubber attracts WAY TOO much dust.

These cases are STILL not available anywhere yet. Total BS!

yeah i knw, i just checked his ebay store and nothing

There's Epik cases on eBay for the HTC HD7, didn't that come out the same day or about the same timeframe as our MT4G? If so, why hasn't there been an Epik case made yet for our phone?

i have no clue, but on a side note tmble has these type of cases at their stores. im tempted to get 2 of them. they have a sale going on 2accessories will land u 20% off and 3 will get u 30% off, but their 20 a peice....

T-Mobile does not carry the Epik branded cases at their stores. They don't have any cases that even come close to the Epik brand.

they arent 'epik' cases BUT they are TPU cases, which is exactly what the epik cases are. they have them for several phones including the mytouch 4g. if i go back ill take a pic and show you. if it werent for the price difference i would have gotten it. but yeah im pretty sure a youtube search would confirm it.

DCMugen88 posted black and clear cases today. I got black

awww daewond3r beat me too it i was too busy trying to figure out if i wanted clear or smoke blk and put in my order to post the link lol but here u go to those who are looking for it

Thanks for the link. Ill be ordering a few. Great prices! i was close to ordering some case on amazon for 24.99 + shipping.
Sucks that these won't be arriving until after xmas though.

Nice! Do you think the epik cases will still fit if you have the CF Chromatics on? My little girl puts a beating on my phone while playing with talking Tom . Ordered anyway, you cant go wrong with the price! Thanks for the heads up fellas!

Are these the bendable gel cases they had for the MT3G? It doesn't really specify that anywhere on his auctions, and the pictures make it look more like a hard plastic or hard gel/plastic case.

Case-mate tough case, not out yet?

On their eu site it shows the case and I like what I see. Looked around and it appears that its coming soon. I was wondering if anyone knew about availability? I have an inquiry in and will report back if it hasn't already been dug up and reported here.
edit... I should have put a link here, my bad. Here is a link to the goods. ---> http://www.case-mate.eu.com/samsung-galaxy-s-2-tough-case-black.html

I don't have any news but thanks for sharing that link. I've been looking to see if Case-Mate was preparing any cases yet for the SG2.

Have you had one previously? I'm running a siedio case right now that I really like. It is a hard rubbery feeling outside that gives some grip but it doesn't collect lint or get stuck in pockets. This is what I'm looking for.

barely there case is out..2 sellers on ebay.uk and amazon uk too..
but i can not find the other hard case

Yes I did. I liked it, nice looking, not too thick and had a nice solid feel to it when you grasped the phone. It slide in and out pretty easily and didn't pick up stuff from my pockets.

I'm going to try out the Barely There case for now... I've had those before too. Not nearly as protective but I'd rather try one of these out than some of the odd stuff we are seeing so far.

I ordered some gel cases from Deal Extreme that still haven't shown up yet - a little worried using my SGS II without a case (it's a bit slippery). I like the look of the Case-Mate barely there or Safe Skin - will pick one up in London week after next (I'm sure CPWH will have them...)

Case-mate has responded to my email this morning. They expect to have them available to the public in two weeks.

Hi,
I always use the case-mate tough case on a of my phones, andhave one on pre order from mobile den, cpwh will bedding then for around £25 and the barely there will be much cheaper but to me does not provide grip or good protection.

I purchased this http://www.case-mate.eu.com/samsung-galaxy-s-2-gelli-case-clear.html and the screen protector that shipped with it is totally the wrong size and has no hole for the home button. it is too short and too narrow almost a galaxy s screen protector with no hole for the home button. I checked 3 different carphone warehouse and they are all the same. I emailed case mate and was told they knew the screen protector didn't fit but just use it anyway.
Really disappointed in the company. No reason at all this should be sold like this. The case is very nice however but at £13 its not cheap if you have no screen protector
Dont know if this will be the same just to let you know

I dont use screen protectors, hate em. Nevertheless I don't like the sound of an outfit shipping a piece that to my mind would be useless and not what was represented. What is your feelings on the fit of the case itself in regards to the cut outs and so on? Overall quality? Value?

This is now available on amazon uk, I have one on the way so I will post up with my impressions after I have it in hand.

Case-mate now available on Clove's website.
