Running case for Defy - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey people.
I'm currently searchin for a running armband, holding my Defy. Has anyone experience?
Greetings
Soul

I bought one of these off eBay. Fits the Defy+ well - in fact it will even squeeze in with its bumper case on - and you can operate the phone through the transparent plastic screen cover.

IT FELL BADLY !! :(

Hey guys,
My prohpet survived a fall from aprox 1,5 M hight.
However, the front cover got damaged (bent) a little so that the device is a litle split open on one side. If the display is on, light is visible from the sides. Now i am scared that raindrops will get inside.
Is it possible to buy a new front cover? how about installing it?
AND, how do I know if something happend to my Prophet? I mean in terms of hardware, it still functions allright, the display is okay too.
Do i have to worry?
If it works it works
Replacement? Ever heard of Google )) ?

I had seen a UK seller for replacement case on Ebay, but cannot find it anymore. However, there are plenty of sellers there for silicone and metal jackets/cases for the Prophet (search as "Neo", the O2 branding).

www.cnn.cn for your Prophet housing. It'll cost you but it is a full OEM housing. It says it is for the Dopod 818Pro but the picture shows a Qtek S200 housing. Either way it will work for any Prophet.

Silicon Protection

Hi, I'm looking for a silicon protection for my kaiser. Yesterday I drop my kaiser for my first time... It has 3 horrible body scratches now... the smooth surface is anything but scrached protected...
I'm now looking for some kind of protection. My first idea was to get a silicon protector, like those used for ipods... But I have not been able to find any....
Does any of you own one of those?
Any recomendation?
http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02247&dept_id=039&cat_id=0763
Thanks for the info!!!
Are u using one of those? Are u still able to use the HTC holder (The one included in the original HTC TyTN 2 box)?
Have u buy any other product from that website?
thanks !!!!!
I am not using it for the TyTNII, but had one for the P3600. Have ordered many products from that site.....no problems whatsoever. Still think Brando screen protectors are amongst the best you can find.
Has anyone seen a similar silicone case but with a plastic screen protector like that for the wizard?
- TKN
How the Brando works if we slide and tile the screen? Anyone can post a pic for this?
they sell it on ebay for $10 shipped
Hi,i've bought one for my trinity and it was very effective.So i command one ( Brando ) for my Kaiser.I've received it today and it's really a bad product,the protection fall all the time.So i continue to use my trinity silicon case.So don't buy this !
I've got one off eBay, maybe fake who knows, but it suffers exactly as Marcdu81 says. Its rubbish, falls off all of the time, on the Artimes, I used a silicon protector in cunjunction with a slip case, and was hoping to repeat that with the kaiser. Looks like the Seido super thin case is the only way, at ~£30 to the UK. I only paid £80 + contract for the kaiser so £30 is a lot for a case. I'll carry on hunting for a good and cheap case.
DO NOT BUY THAT!!!
It's a piece of junk just like everyone said. The best protection currently for this device is the Seidio rubberized case. I know it's pricey, but it's well worth it.
Trust me, I tried the cheap way and got that piece of crap from ebay. Do like I did and bite the bullet. You can get the Seidio rubberized case for a few bucks cheaper on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/724-Seidio-Rubb...ryZ20337QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Actually, once you get the Seidio case, the crappy silicone case fits much better when you use both at the same time.
do they sell the Seidio rubberized case without the hole for the second camera in the front? my tilt doesnt have the second camera.

Unfortunately, they don't... Yet. They say they MIGHT in the future but I wouldn't hold my breath. Believe me, the beauty of this case makes up for the useless hole.
Is this the one you guys are saying is crap? >>>http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=207883654&listingid=21964170&dcaid=17902
This is the one i have and it fits like a globe.

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
But Anyway I have to second or third the notion about the Seido Rubberized Case. It stays on the Phone SO well and you can slide a tilt with ease. It's so awesome.
Thanks guys, I'm going to bite the bullet and get the Seidio rubberized case then. Hopefully there won't be problems with this rubber falling off!

Best case for Tilt

Hey guys/gals, just thought I'd share this with you. I bought this case for my Tilt and it's one of the best I've had. The phone fits perfect in this case. Snug but easy to get out. I paid $12 on ebay for it. Make sure you buy the one with the attached belt clip (like in my pic). There is another one on there that allows you to change the belt clip. I had that one too but (same perfect fit) but unless you have a thin belt, the clip will not catch the belt. I'll include one of my previous cases. This one is just a better looking case and feels real sturdy. Hope you like it.
Have you seen a case that exposes the miniUSB port? I've seen a lot of good cases, but none that will expose the miniUSB. My second option would be just to go with the Seidio Slim Ruberized case.

Unfortunatly no I haven't. There's a thread on here that has the Seido clip with mods on it. Looks sweet.
I recently had bought a case for my Wing (before getting the tilt) and it fits the tilt perfectly and allows access to the usb port - unfortunately it seems the ebay seller is no longer registered so I can't even get the details from the auction.
This is HTC branded and the listing was titled NEW HTC TOUCH SHADOW MOGUL VX6800 MDA OEM LEATHER CASE
Edit - Found the case, different seller and more expensive, but you can see it - http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Leather-Case-Pouch-for-HTC-Wing-P4350-Herald-XV6800_W0QQitemZ150268701210QQihZ005QQcategoryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I've got the Krusell Orbit leather case with multidapt and I really like it, I've tried several so far and this is the one that I'm keeping...

I've also got the Krusell CarHoldicKit adapter as well to go with it, I like being able to unclip my phone from my belt with the clip still remaining on my belt, and attach to dashboard while driving, it makes using the GPS very easy and other related accessories as well...

It works that well? I was interested in both the orbit and carholickit (think i still have an old one), but was thinking the flap would be in the way when using it for GPS? This isn't the case?

Thanks for the GREAT review.
I have this HTC OEM case and it's real nice and pretty cheap. Fits perfectly with the Seidio case installed on the Tilt.
I recently purchased the Seidio rubberized case/holster combo. This is an excellent product. I was looking for protection for the Tilt's body, however, wanted to access the screen. I was using the metal case from Monaco, very well built, however, twice my Tilt fell out of the case when the unit was on my belt and the latch caught on the bumper of my car and the Tilt when bouncing on the pavement. Also, my signal was very weak with the metal case, never realized this was the problem as I always used a metal case. I switched to this combo unit and I now have an extra 1-2 bars of signal regularly. Also, I like the fact the holster will hold the unit with the skin in place, faces inward, giving max protection to the screen which is easily accessed. If you want a case to protect the body of the tilt, access the screen easily, and use with a belt clip (do not have to use the clip holster), I could not imagine a better choice. I am very happy with the quality and design of the unit.

i second that one. ive gone thru metal, silicone, plastic and even leather cases for my tilt. none of which seemed to work until I went with the seidio innocase holster combo that the gentleman above me stated. its really the best case and it comes with the holster facing inward so you can have maximum protection for your phone with easy access. point blank period.

With that case do you have to face it inside, and is it really worth $50.00? Geez their high.
I already have a soft rubber case and wondering if I could get buy just buying the holster for it.

not necessarily, you could face it either way and its worth it. believe me, its worth it. even though its a little pricey.
The rubberized case is good. I gave up on the holster because the clip kept getting caught and would disengage the phone causing it to fall.
I got a Palm Treo case and it fits perfectly. The Seidio case also prevents the Tilt's buttons from being accidentally pressed.
This is the best combination of all the cases I have tried.

Does the defy even require a case?

This phone is said to be "Life Proof", I'm about to get one and I'm not sure if I should pick up a case as well. My last phone is still in mint condition basically and that had no case so I would imagine that the Defy would be fine with out one.
Even a screen protector is that necessary? Also if anyone has any good privacy screen for the Defy link me please
Oh and Hi forums !
I would think so.
Sure, functionally it should withstand some bumps and knocks, but if you want to keep your phone in good aesthetic condition then you'll want a case. And yes, I'd recommend a screen protector. Quite a few people have unsuspectedly scratched their screens with random other things in their pocket.
Hope that helps
My Defy fell 3 times I think and not a single damage.
The defy(ivory one) don't really need a case because it has no glossy part on it compared to the black one.
Thus the ivory one has no reason to get scratched.
(the contour of the defy is made with the same material as the back cover)
A case is an option, but recomended.
I'm personally using one..
I don't use any case or screen protector and just put it in my shirt or pant pocket with nothing else. After using more than 3 months, there is no scratch but barely noticeable wear in the back cover lock button.
Hi
I don't use a case ether, but if you drop your phone the glass can break,
it is seldom, but it can happen. So its up to you if you want to stand the risk or not
greetings
I use a case and a screen protector for my Defy.
This is i did with all my PDA's from the last years and i have never reget.
When i sell them they where in so good as new condition.
I buy them from Ebay for little money. Only the screen protectors are not from a good quality from Ebay.
I normally buy a complet body cover from Zagg Invisible shield. I think its the best.
I shall soon buy only a screen protector from Zagg. I dont think you its necessary to buy a complete body cover for the Defy.
mine is a gel case simply because it is slippery as hell naked, my ZTE blade definitely felt more secure in the hand.
The gel cased isnt "sticky" like a silicone one so it slips in and out of my pockets ok but it just adds that tiny bit more grip to make the phone feel more secure.
The defy is a case for itself So why use a case? You won't use a umbrella to avoid your other umbrella to get wet!
escrivel - Very interesting logic - thanks!
But others, can someone kindly post an image of their case (WllstpM?) - thanks in advance.
This is the one i use (but in blue) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128453&pf_rd_i=468294
It is a very snug fit and doesn't bulk the phone up by very much at all

I'm pretty sure I'm using the same one as well. The phone felt much more secure in my hands once I got it
The pattern on the back of mine isn't nearly as visible as that though. I can only really see it if I'm looking from the "inside" of the case (i.e. when the phone is out of it)
The only reason I have a (silicon) case is because the defy lacks an elevated edge around the screen (like some HTC-models have). Such an edge protects the screen from a direct hit falling on a hard surface with its screen (which is the weakest point in the defy imho). I don't see the need for a screenprotector, because the gorilla glass should be strong enough if you don't abuse your defy
I'm using an 'OtterBox - Commuter Case' with my Defy:

Perfect protection and nice look...

Wierd with two tone color of your Defy. But unique as well as this is the first time I see Defy of this white band color.
My Defy is all black and it just as naked as it is. It doesn't need any casing or screen protector. It just simply awesomely sexy this way...!
I neither use a screen protector nor a case. It simply spoils the look. And does not worth also IMHO. the one thing you can do is don't let it fall and don't put the defy on any surface with the display facing down. Like this, your defy will look cool always except the wear marks on the battery lock!
and btw this wear mark is not that much visible unless someone gives a closer look!
May be putting on a case and screen guard will be good for long run, but hey how many years you are gonna keep this thing with you? mobiles are not meant for 10 years use! For 1 or 2 years use, case is not needed.
I have used lots of touch mobiles and normal ones, none of them had any cases, neither they had any Considerable wear marks(except the itouch, that thing need a cover as the back side is of metal)
So my point is, just give some care while using it, instead of casing!
im using none of case.. its dust proof Defy

The Chinese call the white/black model panda
And a new red/black color is also announced in China.
Tmo USA has the white band. They just now began selling the black.
Buy a protector, not a case. The screen has some nicks on my girlfriends defy cause it was put in her bag with keys.

"Triple Armor Hybrid Case" Opinions? (Ballistic SG Knock Off?)

So I was surfing on ebay for a rugged case for my n4
I ran by this...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Triple-Armo...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item5d43674502
It seems like a ballistic sg knock off but at a lower price
comes with screen protectors too if that matters for anyone...
Does ANYONE have any experience with this case? If so, please let us know!
Otherwise I'm going to order a Ballistic SG this week.....

I would order that ebay one instead of the SG.
I had the SG and it wasn't worth the money. The problem with it is that the silicone isn't a perfect fit so the nexus 4 slides up and down a bit. The plastic piece that goes over the inner silicone cover occasionally comes undone a bit (it's hard to describe exactly) which leads to more sliding of the nexus. The plastic piece doesn't stay on as well as I'd hoped because the silicon is too soft to let it really clamp on well.
That ebay one is much cheaper and appears to be basically the same.
The case I have now and would really recommend is the mybatt. In addition to a back plastic clamp on piece, it also has a front screen side snap on piece so its inner silicon layer is sandwiched securely. I haven't had any sliding issues like I did with the Ballistic. Here's a review someone did on the mybatt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120148
It does come in a couple different colors. I have the all black one because I thought the white might get stained with dirt.

Thanks for your opinion!
I went ahead and bought it on Amazon through a third party for almost $6! (CHEAP price IMO) Ebay had it for 9 bucks :victory:
I read some reviews of it. It seems like people had a mix problem with the sensor cut out. Do you have any problems of your own or any cons you want to bring up?

I personally didn't have that problem. It seems to have mainly been on the first few versions of it that came out. People didn't mention that issue as much after it had been out for awhile. I just got mine about a month and it's been fine.

My case doesn't have this problem either so if anyone is interested in getting the Mybat Tuff Case & doesn't mind the bulk. I highly recommend it!:good:

I have the Ballistic case and it fits good. Mine doesnt slide around in the rubber part and Ive never had the plastic cover fall off.
I do wish Gumdrop made a N4 case though.
