Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

I am looking at getting a snap on case for my Touch Pro 2. I checked out naked cell phones ebay page and found this:

I have noticed near the speaker part that on different cases they have circles near the top. Why does this change between carriers? What are they attempting to not cover up I guess is what I am asking.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

do you mean by the earpiece? I believe that was for a secondary camera.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

I will give an update tomorrow or Saturday. I should have received mine by then.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Thats because of the second camera thats on the face of the gsm version of the phone. So that particular case is for the gsm version.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Naked Cell Phone is my favorite seller on Ebay. They price match as well. I found items on other sellers' lists that were cheaper and Naked Cell agreed to match the price. Ebay rules when it comes to cellular accessories. I never by them from the Sprint Store! Think about how a charger from a cell phone company's store may cost 30-40 bucks but on ebay costs between two and five bucks.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Actually it is for the proximity censor. If you place a call and put your finger (or ear) over the whole the screen turns off.

I have this case in black and really like it. I wanted to get a Gel case but I think I am just going to stick with this one.

I am completely impressed with the perfect fit and ease at which it can be removed.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Thanks guys! All of your input was helpful. So for the Sprint phone should it be on the right hand side of the speaker?

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

The proximity censor is to the left of the speaker not the right, atleast on the sprint version anyway.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Do not buy Sprint labeled cases from Nakedcellphone. The holes are on the right side and need to be on the left for the proximity sensor to be functional. I e-mailed NCF about this and they told me there is no such thing on the Sprint version and the screen "does not turn off during calls like the iphone." Needless to say I am in the middle of trying to get a refund. They will be getting appropriate feedback once I get my money back. With that being said, the Verizon version should work and be fully functional on the Sprint TP2.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Sorry man, I should have looked closer… ](*,)
You guys are completely correct. The sensor is on the LEFT side.
This is the one I bought (in black):

It is for the VZW TP2 and the hole is on the LEFT side.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

That is completely correct I tested it today, proximity sensor is the same part as the small LED light so its on the left on sprint models.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Hi! Thanks for threading on this topic. I have been looking high and low for a good case for my HTC TP2 CDMA phone. I wish I could find one of those cool silicon numbers like they have for iPhones, but so far the search has only turned up those inadequate and inconvenient default pseudo leather velcro closure crap. I don't understand why there is no market for making better cases for this ridiculously expensive phone.

So, to get to the point, did this Verizon TP2 case fit the Sprint version adequately? It's probably the best case I've seen so far, so I will order one if you like yours :)

Thanks again for the tip!

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Also ordering this case, is it fitting in yalls leather cases? Or are you just dropping it into your pocket? Oh and what the guy above said "does Verizon TP2 case fit the Sprint version adequately"

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Will jump on this when they release a black version. *crosses fingers*

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

I dont believe so, verizon and telus tp2's are the same size etc, sprint tp2 is more rounded and curved, and I also believe the proximity sensor(the thing that shut's your screen off when your on the phone) is in a different place on the sprint model then the verizon and telus. I gave up last night and bought an invisible shield from Zagg because I dont want to beat up my phone and body glove hasn't released their CDMA case yet.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Oh. I guess I'm confused since bmrisko earlier in the thread stated "With that being said, the Verizon version should work and be fully functional on the Sprint TP2." So, to clarify, the nakedcell case does not work with Sprint TP2 because it covers the light censor?

Oh, and Dallastx...I'm a chick, just for the record ;)

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Lmao, the shirli in your username kinda gave it away, anyways, from what I have seen and I have been told the verizon case will not fit the sprint model, I can be mistaken, but when I was looking as covers in the nakedcell phone auctions it specifically states it will not fit the sprint models.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

I thought I read that Verizon would fit the Sprint case, but I haven't verified for myself. I do know for a fact that the Sprint case that NCF is selling (or any case w/ a hole not on the left side) will work on a Sprint phone, BUT the proximity sensor will be disabled.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Okay, I just got mine from Naked today and it is for the Sprint version (which I have). It fits great and for the money is a very good cover and looks great as well. I have only had it for about 15 minutes, but it seem great.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

and that would be very inconvenient for us who have the sprint model lol

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

This is like the third thread of people buying cases from nakedcellphone that are wrong. He sells GSM cases and says they are for Sprint/Verizon(CDMA). I would avoid this seller.


GSM has the 2nd camera on the front which is that hole on the right.

CDMA don't have the 2nd camera and has a proximity sensor that turns off your screen when it is close to your face so you don't accidentally press buttons. This requires an oval hole on the left of the case.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Which side is the hole on? Does your screen still turn off during calls?

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

The hole is on the right and yes, the screen does turn off during calls.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

How does that work w/ the proximity sensor covered? Do you have a 3rd party app installed to turn off the screen during calls?

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Where did you purchase your case?

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Okay folks, looks like I have found a rubberized hard snap on case that is made for the Sprint version TP2. It appears to also come in some other colors. Inexpensive enough (free shipping also)to give a try with no worries, and the actual pics definitely appear to be designed for the Sprint version. I just ordered one and hopefully will have it next week. Heres the link and dont forget to hit the thanks button if it looks like you could use it.. and yes, the holes look correct. click the link and see for yourself....Peace

conversed via email with proprietor recently, he tells me someone bought out all stock and item is on hold.......just fyi if you click on it and see it ..

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

good job man, I'm waitin on the body glove, hopefully its out soon

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

the best thus far. I just want one without the hump for the belt clip in the back so you can tilt the screen and have the phone on a desk to watch a movie or sling etc. (like Seidio's innocase) thank you for the good find though!

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

It just turns off, I have no tweak for it.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Well....I've never had a problem with them. I've been dealing with them for some time. Now that you've warned me I won't get any snap cases. Headsets, cradles, etc. have all been great. I hate it for you there.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

I can understand that, but honestly, I think I would rather slide the keyboard out, pop it up(like laptop) and watch a movie in full landscape mode..no prop needed

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

+1, I cant wait for my zagg case thinger.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Hi,

I am a Ebay seller who also sells the TP2 case(don't ask me who; I don't want to make this looks like an ad). Seeing there are so many arguments over the issue of this case, I figure I could tell people what I know, and hope to get answer of my own question from others.

There are 3 types of TP2 protective case in the market right now:

1.TP2 GSM, which only fits Tmobile and oversea version, not our concern today.
2.TP2 Verzion, the one which has a hole on the left of the speaker. This case has been tested by myself(I own a verizon TP2) to work 100%.
3. TP2 Sprint, This is where all the problem goes. Since it only available through telesales, it is tough for us to get the actual phone to test on. As first we thought the verizon and sprint are of the same phone, so we ship our buyer with the verizon version. However, some customer has reply that the front cover will pop out or won't go in correctly, so we stopped selling them to Sprint TP2 owners. As of today, We have no idea if the verizon case does/doesn't work on the Sprint version. And I would love to hear from others for their experience.

My question for all Sprint Tp2 customer is, Could anyone confirm if the proximity sensor located on the left or right of your speaker? As the replies seems to go both way. It is actually very simple to test with: Just make a phone call, and try to cover each side next to the speaker when connected. If the screen goes black, that is where the proximity sensor is.

As for nakedcellphone, I can't say they are a bad seller, but rather an irresponsible one. They would careless about if the product works, as long as they can make money(they are the only big seller who is still selling the Sprint TP2 case;everyone else stop due to the issue; and that is not the first time they did something similar). I know their little dirty trick on how they get these case, but I don't want to go public on them. Anyway, just don't beilive that they know what they are selling; they are more clueless then you are(since you own the phone and they don't.

Lefty11: The link you provided is only a Verizon version TP2 case. The seller are simply claiming it will work on sprint. I won't trust anyone unless they can give out a actual picture with the case installed to the phone itself...


I hope I didn't piss off too many people today:headbang:

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Ok below poster is right..I just got a big thumb....Sensor is below the HTC at the top left.......As far as if the Verizon case will fit sprint....The back cover is slimmer "from what users are reporting" also i thin it has to do with if you have a bulge or not..What this bulge is "i have no idea" But alot of people complain to have bulges in there phone..If the case is suppose to be skin tight "which it is" then unfortunately you can imagine what a bulge in your phone would do to the case....

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Sprint proximity sensor is 100% on the left side...and not in the ear piece. I can cover the ear piece during a call and the screen stays on. When I cover the area around the HTC logo on the left, the screen goes off.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

Same here & I have a Verizon phone.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

+1, definitely on left, checked before I posted this so I wouldn't look like a complete tool lol.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

I'm not pissed, . I am not a seller.I am wondering why they did not just say "fits verizon and Sprint". Although the back is not ideally cut to match the loads of small holes . I have ordered one myself and if it gets here I will post result. But the sensor cutout in the case pictured is definitely in the correct spot, and the info listed describes as "Snap On Rubberized Hard Cover Case Protector for HTC Touch Pro 2 Sprint phone ". For the price it was offered at 6.99 with free shipping, I will gladly take a flyer on it and try it. I hope I am not disappointed
Thanks for the info , though, as it does provide us all with some insight. I will post
results when and if the case comes in . My phone does not appear to have a bulge so we will see what happens. All I know is , I am needing a snap on case and having problems finding one , I currently use a belt clip, pouch case made for iphone which works very well but still would like a snap on that will keep back and sides from scratching when I inevitably drop it. I think I would just go with ZAGG if I knew how well they protect case from a drop .

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

I am curious about the Zagg invisishield for the Sprint TP2 , It looks cut to specs. I realize you're listed as MetroPCS but can you tell me what part of the Zagg keeps you from being able to pop and tilt the screen ? Or anyone with Sprint version? I am thinking of getting one of these if I cant find a good fitting case soon.

Re: Snap Case for Sprint TP2 Question
 

I have a clear snap on case that i bought from Boxwave.

They clearly sent me the GSM version as it has a small round hole on the RIGHT side. The case fits great & works just fine however & will do until the seidio innocase becomes available (the one I really want)

Since this case is clear, the light sensor works fine even though there is no hole for it.
