Hi all, not sure if this has been covered before but I just had a few questions about this case. I'm thinking of buying it off eBay, as it is much cheaper and I was wondering if there would be any differences between the original case and the ones off eBay (which are about $20 cheaper). Also, as it has two components to it, is it easy to take off and put back on regularly? I like taking my case off when I get home and putting it back on when I go out, and don't really want to assemble the case time and time again. Lastly, what's everyone's favorite color on the white model?
Thanks to anyone that can help ?

I realise there have been a bunch of other posts on the topic of cases (see here and here) but I am after something a little bit different.
I have just had a forced upgrade from a hermes (ie I broke it and can't get a new one on my insurance, so had to "settle" for a Kaiser) which was working fine for me and I am now having o upgrade my accessories, but due to the way I use my phone I want particular style of case and either can't find it or it has been superceded by a "better" case.
Basically, it boils down to me wanting a one-handed case WITHOUT a belt clip (it's fat enough already, and I never use them).
And "one handed"? In other words I can take it out of my pocket with one hand, read the screen and put it back in my pocket without having to use my other hand. I am currently using the standard case and in order to read a text or see why it is buzzing I have to take it out of my pocket, open the case, take out the phone, put it back and put it back in my pocket, which seems bloody hard to do without using my other hand. An example of this is the PDair aluminium case for my old Hermes (which fits, but presses on the camera button, so is not suitable ).
So having exhausted my usual sourcs (MobileFun and Expansys), does anyone know of anything like this for sale in the UK?
Aside - I was interested in the Seidio Rubberised case, but I don't think it is available in the UK (I don't really want to be stung for £8/$15 Royal Mail charges when it is imported from the US), nor does it have a built in screen cover. If people know where to get one of those, that would be appreciated too.
Hi,
I am in a similar boat although I bought the Kaiser via T-Mobile out of informed choice and love the phone. The only case I have managed to find is the Seidio which seems to be perfect for what I need but yes, I too don't want to pay the high postage prices. I think the whole cost comes to around £35 in total, but if we could get it in the UK I'm sure it'd be under £20 retail. Maybe Expansys will stock it?
If Seidio are reading - are you in talks with expansys as a UK partner?
Cheers,
Pete.
UPDATE: Just heard from Expansys that they will be stocking the Seidio rubberised hard case in the very near future so just have to hang on a little longer for that perfect slim case.
I was continuing to look around and ordered a metal one of ebay. I was a little dubious, but it ended up costing me under £10 and fits my Kaiser and seems up to general wear and tear, which is what I wanted. And it really seems as good as the PDair one I had for my Hermes which cost me more.
It's ebay item number 160196604008 if you want one.

LCD Screen
Warning: Images are very high resolution
Part Number: 60H00037-00M
Willing to accept any sensible offer and would prefer a UK sale.
If you're in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee I'm willing to give it to you in person if you want to save postage but it would have to be at a mutually convenient time.
The screen is immaculate - I removed the plastic cover when it arrived in the post but haven't used it at all.
N.B. The part number is very important as I believe there are 3 different types for different versions of the Tytn.
==============================================
I used to wonder how people managed to break their LCD screens so carelessly but now that I'm one of them feel a great sense of pity and sorry for them
Seriously though, I broke my LCD screen the other week and I've been kicking myself since. I went and bought a replacement LCD for it but I couldn't get it working in my phone because I broke a little black component that holds the ribbon cable onto the contacts.
Anyway, now I have a broken phone and a spare LCD screen so I'm going to sell the bits as spares if anyone is interested.
Right now I'm going to sell the LCD screen as I've not decided if I want to break up the phone itself, especially as it still contains all my data
How much are you selling for

I paid £42 for it so if you have a sensible offer around that price I'll certainly consider it.
Are you based in the UK?
Hello,
I've heard some shops and tmobile sell HD2 without default leather case, but when I'll buy HD2 I wanna have one. Checked expansys and clove.co.uk, no leather cases included. Can you please link a UK delivery shop with a <500 quid price and the default leather case included?
Regards
I really wouldnt worry about the leather case - it is of dubious quality and is fairly pointless to be fair.
Its not worth paying more just for the case. Its not a particularly brilliant one. You can get good ones of ebay and the like.
EDIT You beat me to it.

Actually, the Expansys one does have the case included. All HD2 retail packages have the case. The only exception I believe is that some carriers (i.e. T-Mobile etc) are distributing ones without the case.
I got mine from Handtec and the leather case was included.

I have to disagree. Mine is of excellent quality and I never take my phone out without it.
But, in fairness, you can get them for around a tenner anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much about it not being supplied with the phone.
I got mine from Clove and it came with a leather case. I'm not sure why there's so little love for the pouch in this thread. I think it's quite nice and it does everything it needs to do quite well.
I agree, the case isn't bad at all.
You definitely can't knock it at less than £6!!!

i really dont know why u dont like this case....
i found it brilliant and this slide in n out pouch type case its the only type of case that i like for my phones... i really dont like cases that make the phone bulky and the like....
I got my phone from T-Mobile UK and didn't received the case.
I kicked up a fuss about it as the documentation clearly states that one should be provided.
So far, I've not heard a thing back from them.
WHether the case / pouch is good or not - I would want one, just for peice of mind for resale value (god forbid!)
Why do you want to use the leather case? It is very tight and it took me a lot of time and effort to squeeze the Leo in or pull it out. After two tries, the case now sits permanantly in my drawer.
The only situation I want to use the case is to place the Leo on top of it, so that the camera lens is not scratching my desktop.
After a while, the case expand and it's easier to put/remove the HD2. It's like a new pair of shoes, which have to be used a little to be a comfortable fit.
If you don't want to have to force the HD2 in or out the first days, you can use a folded over piece of paper of similar dimension/thickness than the HD2 to straighten out gradually the case.
so i thought about replacing the housing on my wing with black house like one found here (http://cnn.cn/shop/tmobile-wing-black-housing-p-4828.html) (ebay has it cheaper) and i was wondering if there is a good guide somewhere to use, or should i make one?
I did the same thing with my wing. I have the black housing with the HTC logo instead of the t-mobile blue. The guides I used to take everything apart are below. One pictorial and one video made for replacing the LCD digitizer but every step is needed to replace the housing. I am not sure if there is a step by step process here on XDA so feel free to start a guide if you wish. Here are the links:

thanks man, if/ when i do it ill be sure to make a guide. where did you get your housing from?
Your welcome,
I purchased my housing from eBay. The cost was about $20 US cheaper than that link, just as you suspected. Same housing, same rubberized feel you have with the OEM blue housing; it looks very sharp when you have it all put together. Good luck with the guide. Make sure you post up a link when you put it all together.
depending on my pay check i may order the housing this week. i need to get my digital camera back before i can make my guide. you can check out the one i made for the tmobie dash to know what kind of work to expect.
already got one on watch on my ebay
ive been looking into this almost since i bought my wing. had the thing apart several times already, but i cant find a site that sells it with the black face buttons. might look sinda dumb all black w/ blue buttons.
anybody know who's got em?
Hi All,
One of my family members broke their Nexus 4; tripped and fell and threw the phone across the pavement... cracked front screen and no touch response. Thus, I need to find a replacement screen and digitizer with front housing. Does anyone know of a good place to an original part besides etradesupply (they have been out of stock for a while)?
Thanks,
Joe
Why not sell it on ebay for spares or repair and get another one with the proceeds (new or secondhand)? Thereby neatly side-stepping the problem by giving it to others!
I don't know how much I could sell it for. I think replacing the screen would still end up cheaper than buying a new one. Anyone know a reputable ebay seller?
