US TMobile HD2 Case Thread - HD2 Accessories

Please post which cases are confirmed to fit the US T-Mobile version of the HD2.
I'm currently using the black gel case that came with it, but it makes me worry, as it comes off easily and does not cover the camera at all! I fitted 2 tiny pieces of duct tape around the camera to protect it - there has to be a better solution

This is the one I bought and I am very pleased with the quality and protection it provides. It's also inexpensive and has a metal clip, not plastic.
Good luck!

The OEM European leather slip case fits the US Tmo version perfectly. Very thin and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all. I really like it. Though I'm still hoping Sena comes out with an ultraslim slip for it because I like the feel of real leather.

Those Sena cases look awesome - I just emailed their customer service, hopefully one is in the works for the HD2. Other than that there's one at more-thing dot com (I can't post links yet) for the HD2 that looks pretty good as well.

Yes, it's very tight. I'm very pleased with it and going to order another just in case they quit making them.

Jessepatty,
Can you just confirm this fits the us tmobile version. I want to order it but wanted to verify with someone who actually has this case to see if it fits.. Thanks!

I bought mine off ebay. But I had the for thought to buy it a couple of weeks before the US release when there was very little demand for it. It was under $6 bucks shipped from China to the US and took 7 days.
Just looked it up. Here is the link to the auction.

Does your TMO HD2 fit in the case with the provided gel case installed as well? I'm thinking "no" but I would like to know for sure. Thanks!

The rubber slip on that comes with it sucks. It's loose and it collects lint like a mother... There is really nothing good onlinethat I can tell. However, T Mobile sells a few slip ons at their store.
The black one they sell is soft rubber and just as sucky as the one that came with it, but the purple case they sell that is in a clear box is rigid and strong, fits tight and awesome... The downfall is that it's purple... but it's only 14.99 so I bought it. It picks up no lint and is very rigid and fits super tight. Much like your pal's Iphone case. it will work for now, until Seidio or some other good case company puts out something else. This case doesn't protect the camera at all but it's great it every other way... (Besides being Purple) check out the pics. I put that decal on there to make it a little less feminine maybe? It won't let me post the pictures so hopefully the links work and you can cut and paste. Sorry. Says I'm a new user... put the http stuff in front of it if you want to see it.

Nice links, will be buying a leather case w/ the red stiching soon.

I found a good case at the T-Mobile store, it just showed up. Body Glove, clear plastic, pretty attractive, with some rubber for grip + kickstand. Check your local T-Mobile store, I'm happy with it. It costs $20

I thought magnet cases are not good for the phones with accelerator . G-sensor, GPS, etc???

I saw that one at fommy.com... My issue is that they don't show the back of the case and I want to make sure that if I buy another case, that it protects the camera lens... I'm holding out for Boxwave's honeycomb case.

Having exactly the same case on my previous phone (Nokia E71) I have found the same style just for US T-Mobile HD2 - it's not really the full case BUT it will do great job with Invisible Shield over the screen

Silicone/Gel Skin Recommendation ?

Hi,
Can you recommend on a decent looking silicone/gel skin for the HD2 ?
Thanks
Check the thread about cases, there are few silicon cases.
I am planing to buy this one: http://www.netimes.com/shop/resin-soft-jelly-case-for-htc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2455.html?cPath=80_731
I saw the cases thread, I thought that it would be more useable to make a new thread dedicated to silicone/gel skins.
The gel skin in your link is nice and cheap, but the black color is out of stock
How about the pdair luxury silicone case ?

I have that case coming, once it's here I will upload a couple of pics into the cases thread and give my impressions.
I'm looking for a good silicon case as well. Been looking on ebay, loads of cheap ones (£2-4) but are they any good. Also seen these, are they worth paying the extra for?

I have that one! and I must say its the best thing for my phone EVER!!! its such High quality unlike the other silicone cases with massive gapes where the camera and speakers are! also it covers the edges of the camera but not the camera itself so when you put your phone down the phone is no longer resting on the camera arch! its resting on the silicone case so I like that about it

That's pretty cheap (although black one out of stock - grr). Can you still shove it in the leather cover that came with the phone - I know it's a bit of a tight squeeze anyway.

Hmmm .. I ordered the luxury silicone case from Pdair ... arrived within a week from HongKong to Singapore. It gives a nice grip and do make the device look more elegant compared to those cheap silicone cases.
Used to have one for for Omnia II, simply loves it. Thus, bought another one for my HD2
Can you post photos of the HD2 with the Pdair case ?
thanks
Yeah... I want to see it too
what about making fotos with this case? doesn't the flash reflex in this case and making the photos quality worse?

Cases

I've searched but I couldn't seem to find a thread, I'm wondering what cases do all you guys have? I just got the hero and I want to protect it, especially the screen. So who has what and who likes what?
Here is some good reviews of the most popular cases.
http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/49725-bodyglove-vs-otterbox-vs-seido-innocase.html
I use the bodyglove case. I like the way it looks and feels, but do have 2 complaints:
1. When typing in portrait mode, it is hard for my to hit the keys at the edges of the screen (so i normally type in landscape mode, lol!)
2. If you DO happen to drop your phone, sometimes this case pops open. That being said, I've not had my phone damaged when this has happened, but you still should be aware.
I plan on trying the otterbox myself, just to see if it is better, but for the most part I am completely happy with the bodyglove.
I have thew rubber case they sell in the sprint store. i cut the edge's of on the screen part due to not being able to hit the edge of the screen like tejasrichard mentioned with his case
anybody try one of those TPU (thermo plastic) cases they are like silicone ones but i guess way more sturdy and repel dust im interested only one place has em for our heros so im assuming they are pretty new to the market
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030C4IXK/ref=oss_product
A little pricey for a case but I love it. Great fit and function. Fits perfectly, no complaints.

A buddy of mine has one for his blackberry. I dont think he liked it.
I have the body glove case, and absolutely love it. i switched from the HTC silicon rubber case to it, and have not looked back. love the integrated belt clip. gives full body protection to the Hero, except it does not protect the screen from scratches... but you should have no worries there since it is glass. hth

Has anyone compared the otterbox impact and commuter series? Is the commuter series suppose to be more rugged? I can get the commuter series from newegg for the same price as the impact normally is. Reading their descriptions on the otterbox website aren't very helpful in differentiating the series. The commuter is a hard shell where the impact is a soft one right?
Seidio Innocase II combo. Absolutely love it. Adds almost no bulk to the phone at all.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hl3csr3hhrs-bk.htm
It comes in other colors too.
Otterbox
It's a little bulky, yeah, but it has a good feel to it. Also, Hero took a trip into the hot tub again (survived once with no case) with the Otterbox on and there was almost no water inside the battery area when I pulled it out. Phone still works!
i dont know if to get the outterbox one or the Seidio Innocase II combo
i have the body glove already but its too fat

I'm using a swiveling mount from Proclip.
The pricing is absurd, $45 just for the swivel part, you need to have a base mount to attach it to. I already had a custom base in my Honda S2000 I bought for my Garmin ($15) with the standard mounting holes. The Garmin is going to Ebay with these great new 2.1 ROMs and built in NAV.
The Proclip is well built, very functional and sturdy as hell. It works great vertically and horizontally. It DOES NOT work with a case on your Hero. I am using a no-name hard plastic clear case ($5 from the interwebs) that I snap on and off each time I get in my car.
The whole setup works so well that I am using Home++ so that I can utilize horizontal home screens while driving... Can't wait for Darch's stock build and I will switch to this.
Droid Live is my new car radio, tethered to a Sony deck with A2DP bluetooth.
Waterproof and Fully Functional Case!!!
I will be getting a new case in a couple of weeks that has yet to hit the market. It is 100% waterproof and very functional for those of you that are boaters, beach goers and pool sitters. See pic below. I will have them on eBay for $39.95 but for all of you here on XDA, it will be $30.00 + $3.00 shipping. I can invoice you via paypal or we can do the cashier check and mail thing. My eBay user name is "goulpher36" if you would like to check my feedback. You can reserve one if you send me an email and mention "XDA".
Opppsie! I read the rules after my post. Sorry...

Best / Thinnest Cases for the HD2?

I know there are several threads about cases for the HD2 here, but a few are about leather cases (which I do not want to use)...there some about the silicone/ gel cases which I would like to use, and theres the invisible skin type which I would like to know more about. I do not know if the Invisible Skin/Armor ..w/e you want to call it -they seem the same to me... are tough enough to truly protect the phone from a fall ?
I also would like to know if there are any silicone/gel cases which are thinner than usual but still provide adequate protection...
One good example I can think of is this one case I saw on an iphone -it was a clear hard case, but it was very thin which made me really like it...

Better go cheapo-if i'd get a nice looking case, i wouldn't want THAT to get scrathed up either!
I ordered the capdase protector, seems to be really nice. the invisible shield and stuff like that offer no drop protection i hope mine will offer some.
Hmm... the barely there case not available yet for Tmo US HD2
I bought my "barely there" case direct from HK. Problem is, if you have multiple batteries like I do, you tend to scratch your phone when removing/replacing the case to get to the battery cover.
This led me to use the clear/invisible armor/shield, but I've had to remove the section that covers the antenna because it seems to cause rapid battery drain - see my post at thread 652013.
I received

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320503514458&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
and i find it's great.
is it much different than the one shipped with the hd2?
Tried quite a few cases but my fav so far is this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390149733765&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Also known as flexishield case. It's like a soft plastic / gel case so glides in and out of your pockets easily and doesn't stick/attract lint like some silicone cases. It offers good protection but only adds about 1mm thickness to your phone.
I recommend black/gray but the choice is yours.
I actually ordered one like that...
but I find it hard to believe that it only adds 1mm thickness, 1mm is like a screen protector thickness almost....idk maybe I am wrong?
Okay maybe two then
But certainly doesn't add much at all. A screen protector is micron thin. I don't think it adds 1mm...
There are also variations in the gel type cases. Some are actually thicker. My friend bought a similar one but was quite a bit thicker. It had like a checked pattern on the back.

CASEMATE Barely there case

So I was reading some reviews on casemate's website and saw several people claiming that it fits (really tight)!!! Anyone on here try this case yet?

I am not sure about the casemate but this case off amazon is cheap, thin profile, slight rubber finish and works great.

Not compatible with TMOUS HD2
If you read the page it clearly states that the case will not fit the T-Mobile HD2. Sucks because the case looks good

So I ordered this case before TMO released the phone (being proactive) and it does not wrap the phone perfectly. forcing it to fit will crack the case. I also believe that this case has slightly bent my battery cover (which hilariously makes for easier removal). that being said it won't pop off on a drop, and the crack on the case only visible on the inside (when the case is off). I wouldn't recommend this case, but if you can find a USA compatible case, I do highly recommend this style of case.

Thanks for the input...just what I wanted to know
I purchased this case about 2 weeks ago for my US TMO HTC HD2 and I've had no problems with it. It is a little bit snug, but I can take it on and off in a few seconds. And I've taken it off probably 50 times since I got it, my phone has no scratches on it at all. I don't think it's "really tight", it fits perfect. I like how thin and minimal it is. I'd tried a few cheap hard rubberized cases from Ebay and they all started to peel/de-laminate immediately. I like this case so far.
i just bought a similar case with this one for $6 from ebay.It fits my phone perfectly. The only thing that this case is better than mine is: it's not polish.

I saw in one of the post here at xda that it leaves scratches on the edge of your phone due to the tightness when you install it

5T Case Recommendations

Has anyone gotten an especially nice case that they would recommend? One that works with the official screen protector would be best as I think I'm going to get that.
the official red case is nice but i much prefer the one that the 5T comes with.
i also ordered https://www.aliexpress.com/item/cov...s-for-one-plus-5-t-oneplus5t/32841721369.html
Any good bumper cases for the 5T? I see RhinoShield has said they're NOT making a case for the 5T. Emailed Dbrand's to see if they're going to make The Grip for it, but haven't heard back yet. Any other bumper cases out there?

Dbrand said something along the way that they are first focusing on the ones they have initially proposed to produce/release, but they will add to further phones along the way. Once that comes out, I'll get it with the dragon skin.

So even if I didn't order a case from OnePlus, it does come with one?

Not sure if both models come with a case, but the 128 did. It's in the box where the Sim tool is
Can confirm the 64 also came with one, and screen protection as well. Good move from OnePlus.

thanks. was browsing aliexpress for two days and didnt see that one. ordered one just now
In addition to the TPU case that comes with the phone (which I didn't know about, either), I got the Sandstone case from the official store.
It is awesome! Totally great feel to the Sandstone texture, grippy, solidly fits the phone, and all the buttons are EXPOSED (which I find to be ideal) as well as the top and bottom of the phone. It has a lip so the screen doesn't touch when face-down, but it's very minimal. I really love the feel of the phone in this case.

I got the email from them today and they said the 5T is for sure going to be a supported phone after the initial round of phones they're working on. [emoji106]

It does look great and feels great but as far as protection I think it is really just to avoid scratches to the aluminum casing.

Yeah, I never buy cases for protection beyond scratches. It just makes the phone too bulky and ruins the experience for me.
I spent over 600 dollars on this phone and there's no insurance... Protection is a must
Get official flip one....you dont need to double tap or press power button for face unlock...lift the cover and magic !!

Flip cases are cringe
Oneplus 5T
I feel official Red case will be better
I bought the following two cases from Amazon. Just waiting for them to get here. I always like the leather look and full side protection.

I also thought so until i used them on Oneplus 5 and 5T...very sleek...issue with oneplus 5 was finger scanner on front so a sure flop the case...
Its not the same with 5T....very easy to use...

It does provide really good grip which helps you to avoid dropping the slippery phone.
