Has anyone heard about new cases available for the HTC Desire.
I've had a case from Dragonfly for a while, but it has started cracking now and I fancy something new.
Has anyone got a good suggestions?
search for GEL cases off ebay.
Haven't got a desire, but got one on my Hero and it looks fantastic.
Don't get RUBBER or SILICONE, they're weak!
I've done a bit of research and I think I might look in to a Case-Mate case.
Has anyone had one before.
I don't want it to crack like me current has...
I agree with DDotPatel
I have used used gel cases on basically all of my phone and I have never had an issue with them, the protection they provide is great, and its not too thick either.

Which one, there's a few different ones. They selling the gel ones for $15,... WTH.
Ebay gel cases, cheap as chips!
The gelli range of cases from case-mate seem to be good value.
I have seen them on sale for about £14.99...

Agree. They have very good comments in Amazon.
Personally I am not a great fan of bulky case so I like something lightweight and slim back cover and gives basic protection.
Ordering 2 of these plus postage is roughly $10 from NeTimes
I love my Nexus One's pouch case that came bundled with the phone. I am not a big fan of adding skins and layers to my phone. I am just looking for a pouch case where it is protected when in my pocket. Anyone know where I can get something like that? It doesn't have to be an official case.
I got a HTC branded pouch case that fit my EVO perfectly from Sprint store. I believe it is 29.99 and if you have premier discount, it is ~$22. I love mine.
Are you looking for a simple form-fitting pleather pouch or something that protects it a bit more perhaps? I can't help you w/the first but I've heard the Lowepro Tasca 20 will fit the EVO, may not be an exact fit but it's made of neoprene and it looks pretty nice if you're gonna toss the phone in a bag at any point...
I've got one I've used for my iPod touch in the past, fits a bit loosely, I can confirm whether it fits the EVO alright tomorrow.
No something simple like you first said. I am okay with a simple pouch to just keep in my pocket. That Lowepro Tasca 20 seems decent. Basically the idea I am looking for.
Yeah, being from neoprene it's gonna be a bit thicker than something made out of a cheaper material but it also protects it a bit more... The top closes w/a simple metal clasp (again, that might add a bit more bulk than something w/o a clasp), I'll let ya know tomorrow how tight it is around the EVO. I hope UPS drops my EVO early!

Got a picture of this or a link?
I didn't see any pouches whatsoever at my store... Just hard cases and silicon skins, haven't seen it online either, I'd be interested in pics of it as well.

Should be this one (can't post link yet):

Stopped by my Sprint store yesterday and they were sold out. Sales guy actually told me they'll likely get new Evo's in before they get more of these leather cases in stock.
FYI I bought a leather case from verizon for the Droid, it fits the Evo 4g in nicely. But it's for coneecting to your belt. Maybe some Droid stuff will fit the Evo in?
try this maybe?

This is the HTC leather case w/belt clip from Sprint. Specifically for the EVO, I have it and it fits like a glove.

I just got it today. It's nice and snug. I like it.
Any other pouch suggestions? Or "socks" - my wife is in need of something for when she throws her Evo in her bag... The old ipod sock-type cases would be perfect..
A buddy came by the other day with this case on his Fascinate.
It's much better than in the photo. It's really thin and grabs the sides only.
His also had a belt clip.
Anybody see something similar for the Evo. I has the Innocase II. It's no where as slick as this cover.
This One looks like what ur asking for, I think.
Edit: Green One
Ebay Search
That looks interesting. Thanks. I'm going to give it a go.
hmmm. That's a first. I couldn't buy because my paypal is not linked with my ebay.
yeah, paypal has a few new restrictions on ebay stuff.
yeah, ebay has alot of the fake CF pretty cheap AND if you have about $100 there is one company selling the real thing!!! I would love that but just cant justify spending the money(although there is quite a bit on my car)
They offer several different ones, that look decent and aren't too expensive by any means. Just a heads up, for those of you who are looking for a new case. I'm probably going to order the fake leather one and the 'magnet gray' one as well.

I love how you linked the site while OP disguised his link
The leather one look cheap and tacky to me. These cases are nice but they don't seem to cover enough of the phone for me.
They look like the cheap (construction-wise) snap on cases. For $30, just get the Seidio Innocase. It's way better in my opinion.
Seidio Innocase II Surface - Black, Amazon
Black and other colors, Seidio Online
On Amazon I got it a week ago for $20, so maybe check a few times they drop the price every once in a while I think.
i got the same case that incipio made for $10 over at Fry's electronics

I didn't want this to be a comparison thread. I simply wanted to point out there are alternative cases out there on the market.
I'm really glad you pointed these out. I used to have a Barely There case on my old iPhone and these look pretty similar to that (I really liked it). I've been waiting for a case like this! Since Case Mate doesn't make any for the Atrix, I might get one of these. The colors aren't great, but I hate cases that snap together...
Thanks OP. Just ordered the magnet grey one. Will update when it arrives.

I'm ordering the grey one as soon as I get paid friday! I want overnight shipping, I don't care if I have to pay another 10 bucks to receive it, lol.
Yea.... they are quite nice looking. Not sure if i really wanna give up my TPU case though....
When either of you get yours.... mind posting some more pics? Would like to see what the inside of the case looks like, too.

Sure thing. I should have it tomorrow.
Just ordered the grey one, hopefully it arrives on Monday!
So can someone explain what exactly this case feels like? I don't REALLY get what a "rubberized satin finish" means... In the past I've used the case-mate barely there cases, which I like because they're not squishy or really rubbery and such. This pure gear case looks solid, but it says it's rubberized so I dunno.
And while I'm asking, what exactly is a TPU case (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Argyle-High-Gloss-Soft-Gel-Motorola/dp/B004L2L6JM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1304100403&sr=8-6)
Is it similar to the pure gear material?

Just got mine. First impression is this thing is nice! One of the thinnest cases/shells I've ever seen. Just went into our QA dept to use a caliper and it only measures .86mm or .034" thick. The texture feels almost exactly like my old G1 did. Doesn't feel like it's going to be a lint magnet either. The grey color is a bit lighter than I was expecting too but not too light. It fits OVER the existing battery cover and fits nice and snug. No give in any direction at all. Overall I like it it so far.
I'll post pictures tonight when I get home.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is basically like a mix of a hard shell and a silicon cover. It's quite flexible, although not flimsy like a silicon cover.... and it's durable.... able to withstand quite a bit and still return to it's original shape. Actually recorded a video of me squeezing the crap out of one such TPU case that i got on eBay because of someone in another thread questioning the quality of the eBay cases.

As for "rubberized satin".... i believe it's basically a quite smooth yet soft feel.... not like a silicon, but not quite like a hard rubber case either. Hard to explain, really. If i had to guess, i'd say it might be similar to the Barely There case, but i'm not sure as i've never used either.
Here's some glamor shots of mine.
Hmm.... not too shabby looking. I may just order one.
edit: Just ordered the deep plum colored one. Only did ground shipping, as i didn't really feel like paying the same amount for shipping as i did for the case.... so it may be a little while.
Thanks for all the info guys! I always wondered what all these different types of plastic cases are. Thanks for the pics too, they inspire me to order one! Has anyone gotten the blue? How does it look in real life?

Thanks for providing the link.
Hey guys,
I was looking for a case for my GS2X, and I found this one that doesn't seem to add too much bulk, and has some styles. I am not particularly buying a case for protection. I want to have some style to my phone, thus I am looking for cases that doesn't cover the top and bottom which usually leads to sleeker design in my opinion.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Natural-Woo...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4d06a7e4c2
Anyone tried this one? It's not as girly as other ones that this seller sells. 11 people have bought it so far, and I'm wondering how it fits, and what it looks like when the phone is in the case, especially on the front.
Thanks!
That looks pretty unique. I don't know if you're gonna find many people on here that have it, lol. Seems like it might be crumbly or easily breakable, but that's just by it's looks.
There's plenty of fancy and inexpensive cases for this phone. I just search "t989 case" on ebay and sort by lowest price + shipping.
nice but...
For $18.99 it's not that nice. Sorry, it struck me as a bad buy. Good luck with your case search.
For me, at that price I would want my phone in a case that I know will protect it and at least look a little better. Then again i still am using my first case that I bought from E-bay. It was one of those cases where you get like 10 and pay for shipping only =)
