Can anyone recommend a case for my new desire? I think the zagg invisible sheild looks ok. What do other people have? just got the handset and it looks pretty good but i have a terrible track record of destroying these things.

Cheers

I've got a rubbery thing that slots over the phone and then a scratch protector for the screen. Got it off eBay for like £3.75 or something.

Something like this but without the rubber coming all the way over the buttons at the bottom.

If you want a bit of a slick one, get this:

I use [url= http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/martin-fields-screen-protector-htc-desire-p24208.htm ]one of these[/url] with [url= http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-desire-pouch-po-s510-p24295.htm ]one on these[/url]
The case is very slim and not to imposing in a pocket. I've had the screen protector on for about two months now and it's still in perfect condition. Very easy to fit too.
The invisible shields are quite hard to apply apparently.

Personal opinion on desire cases, I got a leather 'pull out case'. Theory being when its in my hands I want to use it easily, and I'm unlikely to drop it whilst texting etc, and its protected when in my pocked by padded leather and thick edges for drops.

Friend got a silicone case with a screen protector. Yes its protected whilst you're holding it, but it looks shit, feels shit, can't get it out of your pocket easily and the screen protector is all scratched and rubbish in the sun. The phone is slightly scratched underneath too, which tells me something. Whereas mine is in mint condition and I've had it longer.

If your a clumsy fool then get the silicone stuff, and at the same time wrap it in bubblewrap, but if you can trust yourself then get a proper case which is protected when you carry it, and free and easy to use when you use it.

(if the above sounds harsh, its meant to be in jest!)

Water proof and a screen protector in one 🙂

motivforz - you were harsh and now I'm going for a cry.

😥

Anyway, I'd quite like one that completely covers the phone for use on the bike with Endomondo like my old Boxit one that fitted my Nokia. At the moment it gets stuffed in a sock for crash protection and then popped in my Camelbak.

I got my daughter the HTC case for hers, and she uses it so it can't be too bad.

+1 for the HTC pull out case, and an arm band case to mount on the stem for bike computer duties.

For my desire HD I got a Case Mate Barely There and a screen protector. You don't notice it at all. You'll have to Google to see if they do them for the standard desire

As above, I have the barely there (from amazon, and mine's a standard desire...)

Previously tried the leather pouch, a flippy one and the silicone, and much prefer this. Seems to protect well, and not really noticeable. I'm reasonably careful though...

went for a leather flip case for my smart phone. theory being provides better protection for the larger screen. Does make the phone bigger in the pocket but worth considering the expense of the phone in the first place

I went for the Otterbox case. It is chunkier but I can drop it, knock it or bash it and it still works. I tend to throw it in a bag pocket and forget about it. Also had the case mate tough, not as chunk and I thought less protective. It does make the phone twice as thick though...
