Hey everyone, I know that a lot of people are eagerly awaiting the release of the T-mobile HD2. However, as noted, the size of the US HD2 is different so many accessories do not fit. So here's a thread where we can list compatible cases/screen protectors etc.
As of now, I only know that case-mate is planning on a release of US sized "barely there" cases in a couple of weeks.

1.5 mm does not matter allot
I got the Bodyguardz full body skin for my TMO US HD2, you notice the size diff. It doesnt fully reach top to bottom on the screen or back pieces. Also, I ordered the HD2 Dock w/batt charger on Amazon for 39.99, and the TMO HD2 does NOT fit. Friend bought the same one and his EU HD2 fits perfectly. I would suggest waiting for TMO specific accessories.
Does anyone know where the difference in size or shape is? Does that mean the TMO HD2 is bigger? Or just a different shape?
EDIT:
I found the answer here:

I purchased the pdair luxury case...
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=26975
and it fits but not perfect. The bottom part of the case lifts up a little bit and does not reach the front buttons. Like it shows in the picture.
if anyone's interested, heres a website for hd2 accessories, its by the same company at nexusoneaccesories.com
http://www.thinkhd2.com/
Just a heads up to everyone, I just noticed that Zagg has there T-Mobile version of the Invisible Shield available in both screen and full body and that they have listed as maximum protection (I think it is just Full body) but I am going to order my shield tomorrow and hope to get it by the weekend.

Size DOES matter if you use a perfect-fit cover like Case Mate's Barely There. It says in their ad, "will not fit US spec Tmo HD2"

I love this case but as per case mate they have no plans to make a US version for the phone

I think if they get enough phone calls from TMOUS HD2 owners, They may want to comply with the demand.......give them a call as I did. They close at 5PM Eastern Time
CALL CASE MATE at 1-866-689-3432 AND HELP BUILT DEMAND for a great product. Ask them how they can offer a cover for the iPad BEFORE is was released and not offer a cover for the best phone on the US market. I offered to boycott their iPod products but it didn't get me far.

I tried contacted them; the first time they said they would have a case for the US HD2 out in 2 weeks; then I put a suggestion on their website and they said "accepted"; next time I contacted them they said they had not decided what case they would have for the US HD2 and the last time I contacted them they said they had no plans for a case for the US HD2. This is very poor marketing in view of the fact that the phone has sold several times in the U.S. I would certainly vote to boycott them.

I've called them multiple times; depending on who answers the call, the response varies. They need to hear from potential customers frequently to keep the request "fresh on the agenda".

Can you take a pic of the HD2 with the BodyGuardz on it. I am curious about ordering this for mine.
Can anyone recommend a nice horizontal pouch with belt loop for TMobile HD2?
How about these two from ebay, any one tried? (sorry not allowed to post links)

Hi all... I know this is yet another case thread, but I'd appreciate some Uk specific advice please....
I have a very cheap case off Amazon for my Nexus 7. It is OK I suppose, slightly too big perhaps, but I don't think it will last long and also the sensor lock/unlock does not work. I have pointed this out to the seller and been sent a new, different case but this is also too large for the Nexus 7 and the lock/unlock still does not work.
If any owners in the UK have a case that fits well and locks as it should then please let me know. I don't want to spend much but equally I want a case that works.
Thanks
I've been using the G-Hub case from amazon uk (product code: B008KPVSQC). It's just a cheap pleather case, but the Nexus 7 fits inside snugly and the lock/sleep function works well.
What sort of price range you lookin' for?
I'm looking around the £10-£20 mark, however I just saw the G-HUB for £4.99 incl. delivery (admittedly it is the black/white polka dot version). The main issue is the fit.... the N7 moves around in my current cases, and also the sensor lock/unlock. So fingers crossed this case will do the job.
Thanks
Hi,
I ordered and received the Mi Mix 256gb. By far the best phone I've used in a long time BTW. This screen.
I didn't receive a case with mine though, and when I contacted GearBest they said it was random who got a case or not - can you confirm whether you received it with or without the case, and if not, where you got one?
Hi,
There is a leather like case in every Mi MIX box. The case has a special place in the middle level of the 3-ply folding inner box. It can be easily seen in almost every unboxing video on youtube. Check it.
Yours is missing?

I don't think that it is randomized. I hear this for the first time! With every Mi MIX should be a case within the box.
GearBest is messing with you, in my opinion.

Thank you! This is outrageous - I'm going to try my best. Anyone else with this issue? I just emailed Xiaomi and complained.
Xiaomi is now looking into the issue and investigating. I got the formal packing list here, in case gear best is ripping anyone else off:
yup, is not there!!!

Xioami released a batch (9th Dec) which didnt include case, in place of the case they put a foam piece with chinese writing that roughly translates "Case will be shipped in January 2017"
So if you got this foam piece with Chinese writing then your device is part of that batch.
There was no foam piece though, just an empty slot where the case should be?

I downloaded the Google translate camera to roughly find what the tablet says in English. Upon finding information, I found a page with the full translation on Xiaomi's forums: http://en.miui.com/thread-426666-1-1.html
A translation from their forums:
Dear Mi MIX user: Thank you for purchasing the Mi MIX! With this phone comes with an imported leather case, but at present there is a shortage in production and we apologize for not being able to meet the supply needs of the market. We are urgently organizing the procurement and rest assured that we will send you the case with the fastest courier to your doorstep. Again we thank you for your support and understanding, and we apologize for any inconvenience that it might have caused.
Love, Xiaomi

Basically there is a leather shortage, but apparently they've tried to dispatch cases for those who ordered in China.
i did get the foam piece with the Chinese writing. anyone know how exactly i can go about getting my case?
i would file a claim with Paypal against Gearbeast and force them to give you the case

Xiaomi didn't include case, not GearBest. A paypal dispute probably wouldn't solve much.
Mine is foam piece too. Unfortunately I bought mine from 3rd party seller. I don't think I'll get mine ever.
I advise everybody whom did not get the leather case to send complain to both GEARBEST and Xiaomi , I sent the following complain to GEARBEST and Xiaomi Hong Kong email : [email protected] also Xiaomi Taiwan: [email protected], for GEARBEST go to live chat then to after sale and send your complain:
Dear Sirs,
This is my first experience with Xiaomi as a company, Xiaomi has proven to be a great competitor in the market with its premium products. However, I have to raise a complaint to both companies (Xiaomi & GearBest) because I was surprised by not finding the leather case in my Xiaomi Mi Mix 256GB package I ordered from GearBest. The persons involved in both companies, whom decided to not include the leather case in the phone package which GearBest is selling, don’t realize that the case was not for luxury use but It is very important to prevent the device from slipping, as the device is very slippery and very big to hold in one hand. it is a fragile device as it is made of ceramic, and many people over the internet have already broken their devices because of slipping easily not using the phone case. it was a very dumb decision to remove the case from the package box.
I am not satisfied with the service provided and I’m not able to use the device at all as I’m worried it might slip of my hand and end up breaking a very expensive phone one week after getting it. I have no available accessories to buy in my country for my phone.
I wish from the manufacturer company Xiaomi to consider this issue and find a solution to satisfy its customers because in the end it aims to compete on an international level by providing premium experience and customer services.
I hope you can find a solution that makes me buy products again from you in the future.
Sites that are removing the leather case are selling them separately.
I ordered 2 Mix and both came with leather cases, clear case and a tempered glass.
I am debating on ordering a 3rd only because I want a white one now.

no, I am referring to Gearbeast not shipping the case. i'm not talking about the foam case which would not be the retailers fault. if Gearbeast is intenationally removing the cases and not telling the customer a paypal dispute would help force them to send you the case.

All Mi Mix come with a leather case. If yours didn't than whoever you ordered from removed it. Open a dispute and get a partial refund or wait for them to send you a leather case.

Actually not entirely true, not all Mix come with a leather case, there is a shortage of the case so Xiaomi has included a statement in some of the recent batches indicate the case will be sent out in Jan 2017. So most likely, once they are back in stock, they will be sent to the third party seller you purchase the Mix from. You should ask your seller to send you the case when they arrive.
Of course, some third party seller may have removed it if yours is running custom Rom, if it's sealed and running CN rom and you have the statement from Xiaomi (a whole bunch of chinese letters..xD), then you are holding the case shortage batch.
I purchased the OP3T midnight black and I'm looking for a decent case. I watched an unboxing video on YouTube that showed someone opening the OP3T box and there was a clear case included. Just want to confirm with some of you OP3T owners out there if a case is included in the box with the phone?
Thanks!
No case is included unless they added it recently without mentioning it on the website.
Mine didn't. It did come with a glass screen protector, though. I bought a pack of plastic ones not knowing. Doubt I'll ever use them.
Here's the link to some dude unboxing the oneplus 3t midnight black. He pulls out the clear case from the top section inside the box after he removes the cover.

That's a seperate case that did not come out of the box the phone was in. That phone looks really really nice! If I didn't use a black case 99.9% of the time I might not have cancelled my order last night. Enjoy the phone it's very nice especially for half the price of the next samsung.
I bought mine Midnight Black yesterday and I got the clearblack tpu-case. Not a quality-item but does the job before the original case arrives. But mine didn't have a tempered glass, just a screen protector (which is nice anyway, before the tempered glass arrives). Location in Finland, bought from local carrier, not directly from OnePlus.

It did come out of the box, you can see him taking it out of the box that the phone was sitting on top of. He even confirms this in the comments.

Don't know if there is any regional or patch differences, because I didn't have the glass screen protector that someone mentioned earlier. So it may or may not be there. Ordered a Nillkin nature case and the original full cover tempered glass, so the camewiththebox-case is fine till then.
Thats great guys just enjoy that amazing phone I'm glad they added that little extra feature to keep it protected.

In Finland we have a local carrier Elisa which co-operates with Oneplus so we can get it directly from the store in various cities every day (good for us). Don't know exactly where they get their supplies, maybe UK idk.
That was also a Colette edition.
I have bought the Midnight Black from OnePlus; I'll report back exactly what I got when it arrives in a couple days.

You sure it's tempered glass? Was it pre-installed?
I got my 3T mid-February, direct from OnePlus, US version. I came with a plastic screen protector already installed. I know for certain it's a plastic protector, as it's had some issues peeling away and bubbling at the bottom (near the home button).
UPDATE: Just received the phone today -- wow, shipped in two days from Los Angeles, California to Toronto, Canada. Yes, there was a smoky clear TPU case included in the box with the OP3T midnight black. It's a very tight fitting case, fairly cheap, but at least it was there. Nice little bonus. Thanks for those of you who answered in this thread.

Midnight black here, case included. Included installed screen protector not that neat looking though, will need to replace that myself.

Looks like all S10's will come with a screen protector applied from factory!!!!!

And a case I believe too
today i saw the S10 and S10+ are released in Egypt and the demo units had screen protectors on them , and the sales person informed me that all of the mare coming with screen protectors , but i can't make sure , it is just his words.

I'm sure the case will depend on the market. I would almost bet money the US models won't come with a case. I'm not even believing the screen protector part until someone in the US reports one is installed.

Well, I imagine most companies rightfully believe most American's to be suckers.
It's a case that most people won't even use. It is a hard shell clear plastic with not much protection. I could see if it was a gel case that gave some protection like the one that comes with oneplus and the likes. If it came with that hard shell case people would just complain about that like what they are putting on the screen.
Ask people who have bought phones that come with cases if they actually end up using them or if they ended up buying cases anyways. My bet is that most all of them will tell you either they didnt ever use it or that they just used it until the one they bought arrived.

Oh, no doubt you're correct. Ive dropped my S9 on concrete many times and I'd never trust a cheap plastic case. I already have my Otterbox ordered and on the way.
I received an email from my carrier when I ordered my phone that it will come with a screen protector applied to the phone, and a free set of ear buds - no word on a case.
Screen protector attached with phone from the box.

True, a few back ups never hurt.
I read that the reason a screen protector is installed is because some will interfere with the sensor. You may need a certain type or brand. Only a rumor...
Not a rumor. The temper glass ones is only supported by one brand. The cheap plastic ones will work. I've ordered both. The temper glass one was 70 bucks for a two pack.
Can anyone confirm if case will be included as well? I saw an unboxing of the s10e that came with a Yellow case -- just not sure if it was a US phone.
