Best case for Diamond?

Hind1 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-27-2009, 03:12 AM

Hey,
I have a Telus HTC Diamond, and I was wondering if there were any good cases out there that people are using that they could recommend to me. I have been using the stock case for a while, but the Velcro has basically stopped working on it. Literally, I will be running around, and the phone will just pop right out of the case, and fall on the ground, causing the back cover to come off and the battery to come out.. This has happened twice and its really annoying.

I would like a slip in case that doesn't add a lot of bulk on to the phone, and that will slide nicely into my pocket, and not be too hard to slide out if I get a phone call, but any suggestions are helpful. I have searched the threads lightly, and mods, feel free to move this to a different section if it seems more relevant (I was hoping for a bit more views by posting in this section).

Reviews, suggestions, anything is helpful.

Thanks in advance.

i personally think that cases are too bulky, so i used the invisible shield..works perfectly

tried different solution out there, this is seen to be the best so far. it's pricey but it's worth it.

go to a rogers retail store and ask for the lg shine leather case. fits great and snug, slides out easy and looks great.

I'm actually using a Blackberry Pearl 8100 case. It fits the phone perfectly.

I had one of these on my 3rd gen iPod Nano, and I found that the area around the little scroll began to turn a yellowish colour. Does the screen on the diamond appear to be doing this as well?

Is the little clip on the back removable? It would be sweet.

Can someone also confirm that this case won't work? This is kind of what i'm looking for.

Thanks again everyone!

i can confirm that the case works PERFECTLY, i used to have it before i lost it, but a problem i had was that since its a slide, the phone slipped out of the case a few time. Only dropped on carpet. But a great thing about the case is the fact that it basically has a microfiber cloth built in. I would definetly recommend it, but i think its expensive. I got mine for almost 35 shipped

ps. if u find it online again let me know, i wanna buy it again too

edit: foundddd it http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=168360
