I am considering getting one after my O2 got a new body, so was wondering if anyone used a crystal case and whether it's a good idea, whether they slip off at all, whether there is any damage to the points of contacts, edges etc. At the moment all of my Unis and variants live in leather book-type cases with clear keyboard covers, I am sure you know the type. The crystal cases are fairly cheap, I used one for my Magician and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, but have my reservations about the clamshell form factor.
Maybe it was just the type that I got but I had problems with the crystal case preventing me from being in tablet mode. It wouldn't let the screen lie flat against the keyboard. I have found that the aluminum case is the best...

I noted crystal cases also come with a belt clip moulding on the flat part that would be against the table in laptop mode, so I guess lying the JasJar flat against the table and typing would be difficult as well. I have my leather book-type cases, just thought crystal case would be a nice addition. On further examination I realised probably not.

In their pictures it looks like it doesn't fit very well - the VideoCam hole isn't lining up well. Is this true, or just a poorly shot picture?

It´s a bad picture, I have been using this ones and believe me it fits perfect! as a medical glove
I have that one as well. The only thing that doesn't line up well is the spine-the power connector and audio connector and such. BUT, it's hardly a problem since the skin is flexible and i can still connect the power and usb cables without any effort. I love the feel of it now and it looks a lot better than it did. I recommend it. I even tried to find this skin for my hermes and wizard. Unfortunately, I have the versions of these that aren't supported. Can't beat the price though for the Uni.
Seems to be good, but shipping to Bulgaria costs $8.50 for item with price $0.99 ....

Yeah it is expensive. Anyone fancy buying in bulk and selling on eBay?!
Should hint to DealExtreme, haha, they do free postage to a lot of places. For me in NZ postage costs are always a problem and something we just accept as a part of life As one example - I just paid 3GBP to send a tiny internal speaker for LG Prada (we are talking an item the size of a pinky nail) to NZ, while the only other place selling the same part wanted 11 EURO!!!!
Lots of silicone cases for Unis, all selling for 99c or so, just have to find the best priced postage.

My first silicon case was sent to me form Hong Kong, I paid $15 for the shipping and $5 for the silicon case back in 2005...
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?
Regards ELO

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 want to find out.
I do not think it is a mistake as they have the higher price on Ebay too now.
Whatever it is hopefully it means I got myself a bargain!
Should have bought more than one!!!

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.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/MEXXPROTECT...6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270547617&sr=8-6
Can anyone tell me where to find a good set of screen protectors?
I think out of the leather cases this is by far my favorite.. but $129?? I guess it's worth it to protect a $600 device right? What I like about it is it doesnt look cheap and it doesnt seem to add too much bulk to the device

Anyone see something similar?
There are sooooo few cases out right now. Not a big fan of the any with the exception of this one. There is a leather Motorolla Portfolio, but hard to find pics of it...and that get's mixed reviews.
I did pre-order the piel frama case...and was told it will not be "released until Mid April". I guess until then we won't have any new pics of what it really looks like.

From what I read about other cases they have made they really seem top notch. I read the leather is hand done etc.. I'm trying to find out if I can find a coupon code for cases.com to get it a little cheaper.
With all the other cases out there so far, I find one thing I like in one but really dislike another thing about it. That goes for pretty much every other case I have looked at..The only thing I dont really like is the price tag. lol But I think I can live with that more than a case that I'm 90% happy with. It looks well made and it has a simple classy look to it. I think I might go for it.
ok, they did offer me a 10% discount.. I'm still debating if I'm going to fork over that kind of cash for a case. Just in case the coupon code is a one time deal I will not post it yet. I will post it after I either decide to purchase it or not then I will post it here. I just dont want to post it while I'm deciding someone else use it and if it is a one time deal and I decide to get it I'm screwed lol
10% That's not bad! I heard Vaja may be coming out with a case too, but no clue on what it looks like or price.
If you hold off, I'll post some pics, but who knows when this will be here....can't rush quality
I'm using a moto silicon case with a skinomi shield....works okay, but want a portfolio case.
No experience of the Xoom case but I have used a Piel Frama with my HTC Blackstone for about two years. Still looks new and smells of cow.
Well made, quality leather, hence the price tag.

They told me it would be shipping in the middle or late April. I really like that case but not sure I want to spend that much for a case.. decisions decisions lol
I bought the stock motorola portfolio case for $40 bucks and it works perfectly. We're android users not iPad socialites... please don't spend $129 bucks on a case...
My case gives me decent viewing angles without breaking the bank.
Save that money and purchase some great apps for your device instead (just my opinion)

You can definitely see a difference in the pics of the quality of the leather though. The Kevikev case's leather kind of looks cheap in my opinion if you look at the red picture up close it almost looks like pleather.
You're right about the red one

What's a god cheap case for this tablet? I've seen some on amazon for about $20 but don't know if there's anything better for around the same price. I'm looking for a case and not a cover.
Look at the Pyroskin cases. http://www.pyroskins.com
Task has done reviews on a couple of them in this section. Picked up the Clip case last night (waiting on delivery), but from what I hear it's a great case at that price range.
thanks I'll look into it
It can be more expensive... but believe is very nice.
I have one of this:
http://www.gumdropcases.com/
Probably it isn't good for who want use the samsung acessories!
Just got the 360 case from pyroskins its a well made case that doesnt add much bulk. allows the tab to stand in portrait or landscape.. highly recommend it

Your tablet get extra protection for scuffs and any damage aroud it!

I have this case for 6 months now, and i want another one, it is awesome !
Does someone know where i can buy just one case? I bought my first one in a shop, but this time i want to buy it cheaper over the internet
Here is pack of 10 them :S
