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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
