Default/Standard/Bundled/Free/Generic case.

I have Covertec black leather case...
very nice case.. I've had it since August, and it is still in a great condition...
Build quality is very good.. and it's way much better the the standard case for the JAM.
it also has 2 mini pockets for your extra memory cards... I usualy keep my music stored in a seperate SD... and thus, this case becomes quiet handy :wink:

i have the one it came with which i barely use, and also i bought the silicone one which i dont use much either because it sticks to clothe so its tough to put in/out of my pocket.

Here's mine! Krusell is very comfortable. Using it couple of months. Still good!

stratoboom: that's cute, where'd you get it?
I have a silicon case which is ok, but in the end I just found some adhesive foil which I covered the back of my magician (and ipod) with. It looks similar to the original and protects it when i throw it on the desk. It's useless for shocks/drops, but then I never touch my phone without slipping my finger through the loop.

I love mine with a silicon skin. The one I purchased from ebay is the thin silicon skin that comes in 5 colours ...didn't like the one with the protective screen cover, too thick the skin.
The skin makes my phone-PDA stands out..whenever I take it out to answer phone or use the PDa function, everyone nearby just stares at it :-D

O2mini_noob: I got a silicon one in pastel blue and white. Haven't used it for a while, I'll have to pull it out again!
V

the pastel light blue I am using at the moment..it makes my o2 mini look like light bluish grey which is very striking.
The flourescent green and pink look outstanding too although pink is more suited for gals.

i found it on ebay.
it's great.... first days plastic is very heavy and sometimes there is not contact between stilus and screen
after couple of days, leather and screen cover get magicians shape and now i use only my fingers ; )
the best case i ever buyed.....

Boxwave Flexiskin is amazing..I just put it on today...looks like by far the thinnest skin you can find for the Magician. Whereby most silicon skins today add weight and thickness to the Magician plus not contoured to fit charging cradles..the Flexiskin from Boxwave makes you feel like you're using a naked mini.
The button skin is incredible...you can actually feel the symbols on those buttons. It is the must have skin !!

My pocket is 2 small 2 plus a case on XDAmini......

I use a Piel-Frama Case (did so with my old iPAQ too) and I love them. They may be a bit expensive but are worth every penny. I got a black leather one though.

Hi,
I have the same as your with a slight modification.
I have cut out the plastic front to give acess to the screen.
and added a hard leather cover for the screen
Regards

And this is the reason (the case) why i dont want to replace my JAM to KJAM...

i had this case and absolutely hated it. first up, i hated having to always open the cover to access the screen (it was a process). secondly, it made my Jam a lot bulkier looking, and a lot of my friends would comment that i look like a "moron" with the case on my phone. i ditched and i got a silicone case with an attached belt clip. i garner a lot more respect now. 8)

Hey Private-Cowboy, I have a Piel Frama for my Mini too!
But it's the two-toned black/tan one.
Anyone here using a Vaja?

here is mine. a tad too bulky, but i like it. Makes the phone quite bit thicker.

Shop or ebay? got any pictures? I've been thinking about getting a silicon cover as I currently only use the cover which came with my mini.
cheers, marto

I've tried a few cases and by far the best is the CAPDASE. It's an Aluminium case with a double hinge. Only fault is the window is smaller than the Pdair and is offset to the left.
My main criteria for a case is that it must protect the PDA, be easy to use and not bulk up the unit as did the pdair case.
I also had to make a minor modification in order to get access to the stylus. Otherwise a great case.

AT&T Tilt Hard Plastic Cases can be found here

$13 and change shipped

3rd party vendor on Amazon is selling these for $10 shipped. See items 84 to 90.

If anyone gets one of these, could they please review it? I really like how small the Tilt is and i'm curious to find out if using one of these cases makes it feel bulky or if it's still small enough to fit comfortably in jeans front pocket...
Thanks...

i think you can't open the keyboard with those case à 5$.
but with this one it's possible : http://www.amazon.com/AT-8925-Activ..._69?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1197051150&sr=1-69

Agreed, I can't find any pictures of it actually on the phone above a very small resolution. So some nice digicam shots would work great. Anyone?

That's an outrageous price though. You can get these same cases on Ebay for $10/shipped in all colors. They're called the 2in1 case.

I just called them to confirm and they told me it does open properly with the case on. And paying 24.99 for a crystal case is rediculous.

It's Boxwave so of course it's overpriced. Don't know why I see so much love for them on these and other boards.

Yes. But we still can't find a review or pics on these to see how much bulk they add to the unit.

I've seen those. What I'm more referring to is comparing it with and without the case. Same picture, two phones (or photoshopped together). Just to give a bit of scale to it

I just got mine the other day from eBay, and the front face doesn't fit all the way on or stay on. I'm going to have to return it and find another one.

I've finally tested this case for more than 10 minutes and I really hate the fact that the edges are not beveled in, making it extremely hard to use my fingers to press the softkeys on the screen, onscreen scrolling and some slight awkwardness when pressing the outside buttons.
Mine was also made of white plastic, so it has this ugly white lip around the edges.
After removing my BodyGuardz skin, the case fits snugly and is very hard to remove (I accidentally cracked the lower piece while removing)
Oh well, you get what you pay for. Time to read up on Seidio cases

http://www.wirelessaccessories.com/... 8925 - TyTN II - Kaiser&sfid=134039&c=164107
I've used these for my last 2 devices. I don't recommend the rubberized as they scrape up easy. While you get what you pay for ($5.95 + ship) so I buy several. I prefer the protection from scratches and ease of use . It does make getting to buttons a little harder, I agree.

I went on Ebay and got a clear one for around $4 shipped. looks decent, works, only thing about the clear ones is that dust tends to collect under them and phone looks dirtier. a quick clean and back to new. i dont recomend dropping the phone using the case, but in all honesty i dont recommend droping the phone all together.

I am hurting. Ease the pain

Whats the easiet was to fix this? The phone still works and so does the touch screen
Happened when i was taking the phone out of my pocket and it slipped. Fell on concrete.

Horrible mate
It should be covered under warranty. Check with whoever you got it from.

dont think "droppage" is covered under warranty.
This is why I have never paid for a phone (contract) but have always insured my phones.
I grip my l'il ol HD2 pretty tight these days.

+1!!

Just rang the htc repair centre. they gonna pick it up tomiorrow and gimme a quote. fingers crossed.
What do you guys reckon? less or more then 150 quid?

Dunno how much itll cost but just use your master card thats in the second pic!

oh no! not another one! 2 in 2 days now. think i`l be using gaffer tape to secure it to my hand from now on! lol.. these phones seem fairly easy to brake, like they disintigrate when they hit the floor. the amount of times i dropped my topaz, these dont survive even one drop do they.. scary!

Bummer! You know that is why I use this. Really smart protection. Up to now, not a single problem with the screen! (fingers crossed)
No really, I know from past experiences how you feel. Good luck.

I heard it costs around 240+ euros. Not sure tho..

Buy a replacement screen off of eBay! 50euros and you'll repair your device

I totaly agree. It really is scary. My old touch pro was really friendly with floor after meeting it several times xD but HD2 just hate floor, doesnt it?

AMEX (B or P) .... Extended Warrenty???
AMEX (B or P) .... Extended Warrenty???

Most phones will look aesthetically rubbish after they've been introduced to concrete but few will actually break. It's a shame but obviously one of the pitfalls of having a glass screen. Surely this would happen to the iPhone etc too? The HD2 has a bigger screen so obviously the chances of breakage must increase too. The moral of this story? Don't buy a glass-fronted handset if you are a poor juggler!

This kind of rubber cover could save you

I highly recommend getting a resin soft case off ebay. it protects from scratches, fingerprints, it's movable and yet hard/fitting. It'll protect from a drop too, then again cases only take so much of a drop...

Hey man, are they easy to fit? I mean, i am technically inclined and have a steady hand but i would rather pay 100 and get it done professionally. Lets c what the quote is.

Nexus S - Scratches (need your participation!)

How easy does the Nexus S battery cover scratch? Please participate, and let it know in the comments for how long you've used your device, and how you carry it with you (how you use it)!

just put on a case or put on a skin
see the Accessories section, lots of good choices

Ghost armor over the whole phone. Looks and feels great.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I put an Invisible Shield on the backplate of my Galaxy S i9000 for the same reason. Seems like it (or any of the similar products) are the best path to go.
I haven't done this on my Nexus S yet.
I'm was considering just buying a new backplate when it gets so beat up that I don't like the look any more.
Mine's not scratched at all that I notice after 5-6 weeks I've had it.

Sorry, I don't think I made myself clear. I want to know how bad the back cover scratches, not which case I need to buy (because if I'm going to buy a case, it's going to be the "S" curved one).
@above: thanks! Can you tell me how you carry around your phone? In your pocket? With other stuff? And where do you put it down if you don't use it? On a place where it could be scratched?

No scratches ...
Not using any case either
My phone is naked and I put it in a soft leather / fabric pouch ...
And I put it in my jeans pocket, together with keys and coins
Done this for months with my HTC Desire and it is still shinny as new!

i carry it in my horizontal belt leather case that was for my old SGS I9000
perfect fit

I already mentioned above no scratches on mine yet.
I carry it naked, in my pocket. My headphones are alway in my pocket (so there's a naked jack in there usually), and I frequently carry a second phone in the same pocket (an iPhone 4 or an i9000).

I've added a poll an edited the first post.

No scratches on mine, but that's because I keep mine in a Nexus One pouch.

I'm exactly like this, except from the keys and coins.
I don't have any scratches (I'm very pedantic with that matter) and I don't use any case (makes the phone looks ridiculous).

I have a couple little scratches... but if you pay close attention to the phone, it has a few black web scratches over a few areas. Almost reminds me of black paint on cars. My Samsung tv is made out of the same plastic and it has the web scratches.
This is an just an example of what I'm talking about....

Had mine a week but I've had it in a case since I got it and I just added ghost armor so out should stay shiny for a long time. Carry it in my pocket with a cigarette lighter and a microfiber cloth.

No scratches. All naked and I definitely don't take care of it as I should

I have couple on the back and where the usb port is. I tend to miss sometimes when it's dark and I'm tired, didn't really expect it to be scratched there. Oh well, I'll be keeping this phone for a while anyways. Also use a case, but I don't think it's doing a very good job protecting it from scratches.

Best Rugged Note 10 Plus Case For Your Money -- Sorry Otterbox!

This case is something special. The phone is completely protected, and when I mean completely, that is an understatement as it has 20 feet drop protection!
Everything from the fingerprint sensor, the buttons, the charging port. I have huge hands but I have no problem to get The S-Pen out. I highly suspect others people with larger hands will have a harder time to remove the stylus.
Once you put this case on you'll probably never remove until you get your next phone as the removal process can prove difficult for some. For $20 and prime shipping, I don't see why anyone would spend more for less protection. An easy 5 stars, case closed!
And there is not screen protector comes with it. I think that a glass screen protector is going to be the way to go on this phone due to the stylus. If all other things were the only factor, the case is a solid choice for the money.
All in all, this case is a great alternative to the Otterbox Defender style case. . I am very pleased and for less than half the price of a Defender style case, this is beyond a good bargain.

In what way?

Looks far too plasticy IMO.

I just received my Note 10+ Aura Blue and the black ArmadilloTek case. Pretty awesome case. Good grip, buttons are eat to push but don't stick out too far, easy to install, and good protection all around. I would definitely recommend for the price over OtterBox, it's not as bulky as OtterBox. Case isnt as big as the pictures look and the kick stand is strong. Will definitely be my daily driver case.
Here are some pics on my phone:

I was unable to get wireless charging to work through this case using 5 different wireless chargers so I removed it. Sturdy case though.

Love the official samsung case for N10 +

You just need to give it a few seconds to react, or you might need to rotate your phone a little bit.
My complaint is that the powersharing doesn't work at all.

I looks too "loud" for my taste. Been using the OB Symmetry case for a week now and I think it hits the right balance between a thin case but with some good protection. Very mature-looking.
