For those wanting a killer case for your HD7, I had a VAJA case for my HD2 (www.vajacases.com) and I was curious about the HD7. Well, it fits perfectly and coincidentally, the volume buttons etc are fine due to the design of the HD2 case.
It ain't cheap, but if you want the slickest case (ok, assuming you can tolerate a flip case vs. just a sleeve style), the vaja is perfect...expensive but perfect!
Nice looking case and nice choice of colours too.
Which colours did you go for? I can't decide, white outside and black inside looks nice.

$85.00 lol ur kidding me?
EDIT,
Go ahead and click the "Donate to me" button so i can get one
wondering if it would fit an EVO too, it's similar size as the HD7/HD2 i believe.
Please, can you tell us what's about the camera buton ? because as I have an iMagnum Piel Frama for my ex-HD2 (Vaja took too long to produce their i-Volution HD2, and it appears that's going to be the same for HD7), I tried on my HD7, on one part it was a little too tight, and more important, no access to the camera button and most part of the back speaker covered.
From what I see on the Vaja site, it seems to be the same .
So, if you can tell us how it is on the Vaja case (and also if you're speaking about the ivolution top sp case ?), thanks
I also wanted to buy a great quality and stylish case for a sexy phone But I wanted to go for the Piel Frama one (which doesn't come out untill next year according to a mail I got from them). It seems P.F. are giving more attention to the details like buttons and speakers etc.
Sorry for double posting but you please provide some more info on the case? Comparing the sizes
HD2 120.5 x 67 x 11 mm
HD7 122 x 68 x 11.2 mm
there are some smalll diferences. Besides the volume rocker do you have acces to the other buttons ? Lock/USB/3.5 jack ? I am very interested in buying one since I don't know when Piel Frama are going to release their take on HD7.
Some more info please

As I had a Piel Frama and a Vaja case , I can tell you that Vaja is really better in quality , and access to buttons and speakers are ok .
I've bought a Piel Frama for my HD2 only because a Vaja one was not available .
For the Vaja HD2 case to use with the HD7, I won't buy one, because looking at the pictures, the cuts for speakers (front, back), the access to camera button are not ok at all . So I'll wait 'til Vaja made an ivolution case for the HD7 .
So you say you don't have access to the camera and besidesnyhat are there any problems ? How are the lock and volume rocker ? I've read that the you can press yhe buttons eveb through the vaja case that being some kind of design feature. And tbh the Piel Frama looks like it moght interfere with the promixity sensor. An extended mini review would be great !
I guess there is misunderstood : actually I just have a Piel Frama for my HD2, and it's not ok for my HD7 ; and looking on the Vaja site at the iVolution HD2 case, show that it's not appropriate for HD7 , because you can't access camera button, and almost half of the back speakers are covered . And certainly it's too tight for HD 7 (same as my Piel Frama), and with this type of case you can't access the buttons through the case
So, for me, no way, I won't buy this Vaja HD2 ivolution case for my HD7 ; at this price I want a case designed for HD7.
So, I'll wait ...
ps : I had yet Vaja iVolution cases for different smartphones, and that's why I can tell you that Vaja is really superior in quality.
Sorry I misunderstood indeed and I get the picture now.
So I took a leap of faith and bought the Vaja case with the option of returning for any reason I wanted and boy I did make a good decision. Thr case indeed fits almost perfectly. The kickstand is obviously blocked but the speaker is 80% uncovered so there are basically no issues. Jack and volume rocker both perfect and I can even see the notification light. The only thing the HD2 might have better may be the closing mechanism but by.no means it's a pain on the HD7 and I only wear it for like 10 hours so I am sure with time it will loosen up. The only problem would be the camera button. I can feel it through the case but I don't think you can activate it. I didn't do my best anyway since I rarely use camera so it's not a dealbraker for me.

Hello,
just received the case for my HD2 from pdair, in fact this one:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000801&products_id=24581
It's not my first purchase via pdair. If anyone looks for a classy case, built of fine and soft leather and manufactured on the millimeter, simply go for this case !
This is no advertisement, I neither get paid by pdair nor am I affiliated with them in any way (unfortunately...).
Already purchased the case for the Touch HD from them.
Actually the HD2 also fits in there and this is what I did until the new case came today.
I'd been a bit concerned therefore if they wouldn't offer the same case in disguise for two different device models.
Well they didn't
I have always preferred "horizontal pouch type" cases, they are most practical to wear, that's at least my experience.
Only downside was:
If you live in Europe, like I do, its quite some distance to Hong Kong and I had to wait for the good to arrive (unfortunately air cargo space over Christmas time becomes additionally scarce).
Let's hope they will have some distribution point in the EU region some time.
As far as I could see there is no retailer in Europe offering their cases.
In case someone knows one, pls post here.

I ordered the same pouch. I am using a brando black silicon skin on my hd2 and I hope that with the elastic sides of the pouch I can put my phone with the silicon skin on in the pouch. This is simply impossible with other pouches. (I've bought already 2 pouches) I will keep you informed when I receive my pouch. I think that many others will be interested in a pouch in which they can put their phone with a silicon skin on.

Oops.
I am sure this will be problematic as I said:
The pdair case is no "generic case", as offered by several manufacturers (already was "cheated" myself by such resellers, sent back these cases of course), it really fits on the millimeter.
Yes, there is a rubberized, flexible strap on each side of the case, but as the HD2 itself is very thin, these straps are as well.
So if your rubber cover (or case) is very, very thin, the HD2 might fit in the pdair case with it.
Yes, just post your findings for others.
If it won't fit in and you can't use it or pdair won't take it back (never had to return anything to them), put it on ebay and post to others they can get a cheap good case there for the HD2 ;-)
Regards
ghl10000
I had a look on the website, and the cases look very professional. I have ordered one for my new HTC HD2, which arrives tomorrow.

I've just ordered it, from the UK! Its from a company on Ebay for £15 with free delivery. As ghl10000, I've had some of their products before and l'm using my HD PDair case with my HD2, but decided to take the plunge once I found this on Ebay (and used my Ebay Plus Points voucher ) Had one for my N95 as well and have never been happier. Very high quality and perfect fit.

I've received today my pouch and it fits ... tight, but it fits. I've to use some force to close the pouch but I think it will fit better after some time. This is for me the first pouch which fits my hd2 with invisible shield and silicon case. I don't think a better protection is possible. I am to test it out the next days. The pouch itself is well made of soft leather. The only concern I have are the elastic sides of the pouch, but I am not to much concerned about this because I usualy buy a new phone every year. (one is already speaking of the hd3 for the end of the year?)
edit : I've removed the invissible shield on the screen because it is to soft for this pouch - it gives an 'impression' of the innerside skin of the pouch (where the magnet is). I've reinstalled an anti-glare screenprotector which gives no problems with this pouch. The invisible shield was also too reflective in the sun.
i got my alu case from pdair a few days ago (ebay 19 Eur) and have the following problem: it looks like that the elastic band which should protect the hd2 is a little bit too thick!!!
the effect is, that when i close the case, the lid pushed on the corners and a couple of contacts are executed (most in the corners) and the hd2 begins to react - looks like an animated film, but i can´t laugh!
they will ship me a new one (package was prized out with originated for htc/leo hd2)...

PDAIR is good Product but for me I choose Krusell rather then PDAIR.
I used PDair for my Imate 9502 and Krusell for HTC HD and now I'm looking for Krusell for my new HTC HD2
Guys -- This is my first post, I hope I'm in the right place. I was just visiting this forum to see what info might exist regarding the PDair Aluminium Metal Cases. I recently purchased one (Product Code: 1BHTH2B51) for my HTC HD2 and am extremely dissatsfied with it. I just want to add my comments in support of others who have previously also expressed dissatisfaction with this case. The problem is specifically the design of the case which permits the cover (with or without the plastic screen protector) to touch the perimeter of the telephone screen setting off various applications randomly (see attached video demonstration). The problem makes the telephone completely unusable while the cover is closed. I have emailed PDair to express my disatisfaction with the case design and their response has been evasive, to say the least. My honest advice would be to to steer well clear of the PDair Aluminium Metal Cases for the HTC HD2 until they are redesigned.

It might be helpful to anyone considering the PDair metal cases as opposed to the leather ones.
PDair Horizontal Vs Vertical
I'm swithering as to whither i should go for a vertical or horizontal PDair pouch for the HD2. I've previously had a horizontal pouch for older phones but the size of the HD2 concerns me, i'm thinking that the HD2 might sit less awkwardly if vertical. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

The best case would obviously be the Piel Frama iMagnum HTC HD2 case, its prolly also the most expensive one. Down side is the long delivery time, i am currently allready waiting for 2 weeks to receive mine.

I bought one of those cases from NETIMES.COM (http://bit.ly/6s1eNy) and it's quality. For less than £3 it's a steal! Quality fitting with great protection. Adds minimal bulk to the phone and is very durable. The scratch resistant screen of the HD2 takes care of itself and the case does the rest. Everyone who has an HD2 should buy this now. Top marks! 9/10.

The PDair luxury silicone case is great Does not pick up much dust at all due to the textured surface.... fits snugly without much play...
I wished someone would make a nice brushed aluminum and rubber hard back... a combination of those two materials would make for a beautiful backing/case for our HD2's

I bought this case here in the states, 4 day shipping. I really didn't want to spend this much for case, but wanted to protect hd2. This is best case I've ever seen, great fit, & protection, corners are real well protected. Very happy I decided to get it.
Awesome!!
I went for a rubberized one also by them instead.
never used a rubberized one before, this time i really wanna give it a try.
+1 for the Piel Frama iMagnum. I got a plain black one and it is by far the best case I have ever had, my friend (who also has the HD2) called me mad for paying so much for a case, but when he saw it, he promptly went out and ordered a custom model with his name on etc. The iMagnum range is beautifully made, perfectly designed and offers complete all round protection for the HD2, if you have don't mind paying that bit extra, I would strongly recommend it.
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".

I take it the Otterbox defender is too bulky? It also protects the screen from impact (that is a glass screen on the HD2).
Personally, of the two I always prefer black.
i have the first one. it doesn't fit perfectly, but you can stretch it out to make it fit. mine fits very snug.. honestly, i find it kind of ugly.. i really only picked it up because the ebay page said it would fit the tmo usa hd2, but it didn't. complaining didn't work out well, and it was only $5, so i just kept the case. i'm looking at buying a capdase xpose soft jacket or a momax icase. i'm hoping both fit! if you want to know how it goes, just pm me, and i'll be sure to let you know (if you comment here that you want a review or something, i probably won't see it haha).
Maybe Otterbox Commuter ?

Look at otterboxes new case for the xperia play. I can tell you its the best case for the phone.
do you have one ? if so does it make the phone feel a lot bigger
I had an otterbox case for both my droid 1 and D2G. Loved them both. Wouldnt buy anything else. On my OG, I had the ring break 4 times and each time I emailed Otterbox they sent me out a free overnight replacement at not cost to me. Super awesome customer service. Here is the link for the otterbox for Xperia Play
http://www.otterbox.com/sony-xperia-play-cases/sony-xperia-play-cases,default,sc.html
Looks very similar to the Verizon one except the Verizon one has some design details (circles around the SE logo) and doesn't have the Otterbox logo. The Verizon one is substantially cheaper too.

Im using the Trident Aegis Series for Sony Ericsson Xperia Play http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-Play/Aegis-Series-for-Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-Play/.
Its a very good case i highly recommend it. Id say either the otterbox or the trident case would be a wise choice for a case.

Hey dude, what does your aegis case look like at this point? I had mine for 4 days and on the 5th day I look at it and theres an outline on the front and back of it in a brown/greenish hue color. I tried alcohol, vinegar, cleaning solution to get it of but it won't go. I'm starting to speculate it is the color rubbing off.
Any ideas to fix this? I think the material is polycarbonate.
I've got the Verizon black case (the one with the circles rippling out from the SE logo) and it's definitely a case that looks good on it. I think if you dropped it at just the wrong angle though you could still mess up the phone pretty bad. Again, small chance to hit the floor in that way and a great looking case that gives personality to the phone.

I cannot see what you are describing. Mine looks like the day i got it. Apart from all the crap that sometimes sticks to the black polycarbonate parts but a simple wipe gets rid of most of it.
What colour is yours? Mines red, not sure if it matters. Tbh tho mines never in and out of my pocket (normally in my hand or in the car or on my desk e.t.c) so maybe i have this to look forward too? lol. Have you tried contacting trident and seeing if they have any advice?
I wouldnt have thought its the colour rubbing off since it should have been moulded in the colour of the case? Not coated? Not sure bud. Sorry i cannot offer any advice.
Ok so im basically tossing up between the otter and trident case as they are the main branded ones.
Can someone using any of these cases let me know which one makes the phone thicker than the other or what one has advantages over the other.
Im gonna grab the one which makes the play less thick with it on.
I dunno about you guys, i have tried all sort of design case, flipbook, flipdown, silicon casing, rubbercasing, hard casing...
and i think the best is what it is out of the box
xperia have the perfect thickness and the shape is very grib friendly, I dont see why we need to add on casing..
casing is for Iphone guy whose iphone is so fragile... xperia play cover is just a plastic, and it is easily changable... why add casing?
the choice is yours.

The aegis case is extremely comfortable and nice looking....I switched from cyan to dark green and I like both....dark green stains less though.....I liked otter case but its only in black? Lame...I love colored cases....bling bling mofos!

i`ve ordered the Trident aegis case in this army green colour,wanted the cyan at first but it`s a little too flashy .-) after i`ve read fantastic reviews,it is expensive,never spent that much on a phone case but i think from the looks and Protection it`s one of the best cases for the phone.
also,for me personally its very hard to play longer than half an hour with the xplay because the part with the gamepad is too thin,the outer edges are somewhat sharp and make it uncomfy to hold,resulting in aching fingers.and i push the power button often in shooting games making my screen go off..very annoying .-)
also the L and R buttons are a pain in the ass to press and the volume rocker feels like it`s falling out every second,its too short and it`s got a very cheap feeling..
i had a leather pouch with my xplay but i don`t like those cases as you have to pull out the phone for every little thing,so that pouch always ended without phone in my jacket because in hectic situations you dont have the time to put your phone back in the pouch .-) silicon cases i don`t like either.
Hopefully my Trident Case arrives soon,can`t wait to test it in a extended gaming session,looking forward that it will increase the grip and overall feel.
I got one from ebay for £1.99 delivered. It is a lovely case that adds hardly anything to the hanset in terms of bulk.

It's pretty solid dude....and good thing you didn't get cyan....I got that at first but the color faded and basically got stains.....they let me send it back for free and now I have the dark green.....it's not as cool looking but it's sleek and still looks the same it did the day I got it

my Trident Aegis Case arrived today,took 14days to arrive from california to germany(cheapest delivery method) and i must say:i`m impressed!
the 2 parts fits like a glove,there is a silicone inlay in the backcover side,which makes it even more protected to heavy drops, the overall feel of the case is great,its very sturdy and the extra thickness is indeed really nice for gaming.now it feels like a real handheld portable gaming device! the volume rocker feels much more solid now and it`s optimal to press,also the L and R buttons and the power button doesn`t stick out so obviously as before,so no more nt intended power off while gaming,the case is kinda ergonomically formed .-) the case itself looks like some kind of underwater gear,which is a nice touch imho
only downsides i can find so far,the 4 buttons at the bottom are slightly hard to press because the edge of the cover is very near the buttons.but i think they are nonetheless badly placed/too tiny even without this case.(hoping for ICS on screen buttons).second there is no silicone plug for the usb cable opening,which would be a neat addition.
for the bulkiness,it adds definately some extra bulk and a little weight,you might consider this if you are wearing skinny jeans .-) but for me its ok,as i said,when you game with this case,it feels like a real handheld gaming machine.and theres a trident icon on the back which is anti slip,so no more slipping phone on the desk which is also nice.if you want a great case and the price is ok for you,get this one,especially if you game a lot with the Play,gives a complete new,great feel.

I have the same exact case Splinters69 bought on ebay. It feels really smooth and adds a bit of grip to the xperia play. It hardly adds any extra weight and the price is really good.
Hi all
This is the only case I've seen so far, not in stock yet.

Any more about ?
There are a few on Amazon UK, you seem to need to search for ""xperia t" case" to get them to come up, perhaps because they are so new and not ranked correctly in search
Ordered a TPU one.

Check This, http://www.krusell.se/en/products/mse
Could you guys that have already got cases, post a review/some pictures?
I'm on the look out for a good case and I'm sure others would appreciate it too.

ROCK Naked shell Case For Xperia T

This looks like it may be the best of the bunch thus far. Gonna order one this weekend.
Got this one also from MobileFun.
I'm hoping a better quality TPU case will come along.
The one I mentioned above from Amazon does the job but its not a good fit. There is a clear gap near the headphone socket viewed from the front, and it doesn't sit flush along the front bottom.
Will keep it safe for now though

Just reposting something I posted in another thread.
I bought a Terrapin Solid Black Hybrid Rubberised Back Cover / Case / Shell / Shield + 6-in-1 Screen Protector Pack for Xperia T from Amazon and it arrived almost a week earlier than estimated (2 days delivery!)
Best bit is it was only £4 so it's amazing value for money. It doesn't feel cheap at all and the material feels very smooth with a matte finish. Almost the same texture as the T's back case. The fit is perfect too - it snaps on to either sides of the phone with only openings at the top and bottom and the device feels very secure in the case.
The aforementioned sides of the case also raise slightly higher (about a mm or so) than the screen so if you were to rest the phone on a flat surface face down the screen never touches. In regards to accessing the side buttons (Power, Volume controls and Camera button) they're all very easy to press - unless you have fat fingers or overgrown nails.
I highly recommend getting one from Amazon since the delivery came earlier than expected and even if you want something more protective (leather flip case, bumper etc) this is only £4 and makes a great temporary case.
Link to the case can be found herehttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B009HRVW7W/ref=mp_s_a_4?pi=SL75&qid=1350000465&sr=8-4

My apologies if the photos aren't very clear. They were taken with my girlfriend's iPhone 4 - at night - in the kitchen. If you want I can take a few outside tomorrow morning in the sunlight at whatever angles you want. As you can see the case hardly adds any bulk to the phone - about 1.5 mm either side and 1.5 mm on the back.
The Rock naked case is really nice, have no issues with it so far and looks great.
Just bought the Krussel one, very handsome, well fiting and comfortable touch...I really like it and don't regret my money...
Next week i gonna get my Xperia T and i gonna order this case
http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Protect-Sili..._PDA_Taschen_Schutzhüllen&hash=item3f1caf26d3
love the design :good:
Quick question: What kind of case is best for impact protection, a hard case or a TPU case? Also, how badly will each type affect the phone's ability to cool itself? I've never used a case for my phones before, and I'm kind of worried about exposing the softer TPU case to the hot afternoon sun when I use my phone as a GPS, so I would like some advice if possible.

Got this today and its fantastic, well made and really suits the phone
Glad you like it. I haven't found anything better yet, which could be a good thing - it really is a nice case.
That said, I sent a message to Incipio on their facebook site and I got a response to keep an eye out on their company website in the next 2 weeks or so... I like their other Sony smartphone cases. Another great company is Krusell, they already have cases for Xperia T but they don't seem to deliver to the UK.

I got my Rock case last week, and I have to say I love it. It feels tough, while not being obtuse or overbearing size wise. The edges on the screen side are tall enough to prevent the phone from resting on the screen itself when turned over, but don't stick up too much to be in the way.
Yeah I have the white Rock case and it's easily one of the nicest cases I've seen
