I think the ted baker is actually the elfin. Had a friend who owned one.So more memory than the 'original' one.
you can purchase a nice cover from seidoonline.com. They come in a variety of colors and are the quality is pretty good.

ahh i hope this is right, makes the scrifice worth it
It's not often the postman brings me a lilac coloured Pocket PC wink.gif It's not often I get excited about the arrival of a lilac coloured Pocket PC either, but in the case of the new HTC / Ted Baker Needle, the excitement was more around the unknown than any hot new features or specs.
So here it is... and it has some surprises in store!
The Ted Baker Needle is a HTC Touch variant - exclusive to Carphone Warehouse in the UK - and is a result of HTC / CPW's partnership with Ted Baker, a UK clothing brand.
Over and above the standard HTC Touch specs (200MHZ TI OMAP, 2 MP camera, TouchFlo etc. etc.), the Needle brings:
* Customised branded startup and home screens
* A different keypad design (which matches that of the 'O2 XDA Nova' in Germany)
* An actually-not-too-bad-in-the-flesh lilac colouring
* Ted Baker external branding
* 256 MB ROM / 128MB RAM
* An updated ROM build featuring HTC's new 12 / 20 key software keypads
I dig it. Its a great phone and a nice color, plus its great because you know its a phone that not too many people have. I personally hate when everyone has the same phone as me.
People think the phone or phone user is gay because of the color? Thats the trashiest thing I have ever heard. The color is nice and the phone is great. Let's have a little security in ones lives, ok?
Its no different from the Prada, Armani or B-Phone.
i have to say the more i look at it i get used to it.....
Happy with it
Just my say got the tedbaker of ebay..Must be the only 1 in CYPRUS....Need to separete from the crowb..TOP PHONE
are the buttons in other place??? have they moved in that cover?
just picked it up, i hate the color so ill be lookin for a case asap, also the buttons are different, so id imagine a replacement case is outta the question, the rom layout is absolutely terrible, the internal keyboard takes up 80% of the screen, and is just nasty
how is the start up animation????? can you upload it
when i saw the picture you posted i was almost sick but walking around town yesterday i saw the ted baker version and i (dont tell anyone mind) liked it alot i like having a different phone to everyone i got the black elf at the mo but my white elfin should be here soon
Believe it or not, I actually sold my white elfin (noone thinks THAT ONE is gay?) to get the ted baker needle and I love it. I just love it.
Call me gay anytime, I don't give a tiny little rat's @ss. Lilac anytime over white. I would've preferred silver like the ipods, but lilac is very nice too. I used to have the plain jane black elf, and I saw the other one too (kinda dark gold) and I think lilac is for me. One thing though, the white elfin has some kind of special enamel on it that makes it both shiny and slippery, and more resistant to cracks, and that would have been nice to have that in lilac because a lot of them get cracks on the upper left top corner.

I havent seen the picture of both colors side by side here in the forum so I thought I put the pictures here for people to come and see directly
I prefer the HTC Legend body, but those are the body alternatives (Silver or Urban Brown) if you want a full horse power of the HTC Desire

The Silver version does look much better then I thought it would look.

the urban brown will be nice, it will catch people's eyes (is it black? is it brown? what is it?) Lol
I think I also saw a black one on amazon.fr
I really want a silver one, anyone know anywhere in UK selling it?

there is no "black" desire, .. its Urban brown, .. sometimes it looks black in the pictures but it isnt really black
contact clove.co.uk, and ask them wither they will get a silver version, they are very helpful
They are both ugly, if only the brown one was brushed metal like on Hero
Silver paints tend to scratch very easily
Hi I just received an interesting response from a mail I sent HTC - I asked if it was possible to tell from the part number as to what colour the device will be and what would be avaliable sim free in the UK;
Thanks for your email,
In regards to this the current pre-order will be for the item as shown in the picture which will hopefully be the black/grey colour, we will have more info closer to release day and if you are unhappy about pre-ordering an item without knowing the colour is confirmed i would advise holding this until it is evident the colour that is going to be released,
So it would appear there is no brown model at all! Which makes sense since it doesn't look brown in any of the pics I have seen. Personally I want a silver one.
wow sliver looks much better than i originally thought. Might consider that now..
I personally like the silver version, it looks more expensive and high-quality. However, scratches will probably be more apparent D=

there is no black, .. there is only brown, dark brown, .. in some pictures it appears to be black, .. but it isnt,
Can be pre-ordered at PDA Shop in the Netherlands
I think the silver would be a great eye catcher
Have preordered the brown one. Reason: I don't like a greyish paint that easily scratches and is in too much contrast with the many dark screens that most app/site developers tend to favour.
Besides that: Brown sounds perhaps ugly as a phone colour but it almost looks blackish (so no ugly retro-brown). And, once you went black, you'll never go back
The Gunmetal (silver) color looks nice, but I think I will stick with the brown/dark color. If it had the metal-back like the HTC Legend, then that would be a major seller

Btw, I am really starting find it funny how HTC's strategy works! Again, here is a person saying 'IF the Desire had SOMETHING THAT ANOTHER PHONE HAS WHICH GOES ON SALE IN THE SAME MONTH, it would be great'. They really leave out options so they can sell their next phone! Or somebody here that wants to tell me they just COULD NOT have used the Legend's metal-body on the Desire? (maybe because of the amazing hardware?)

No its not funny strategy, thats how they can generate more revenue, .. imagine that HTC (and all other manufacturers) instead of making different features phones, make one super/pretty phone. Who will buy other than that phone? noone, and the users will keep that super/pretty phone for years without drolling over other devices.
I also wish if i could get the the Desire inside a Legend body (who does not?) but that is the way it is there is nothing perfect

Just wanted to drop a line to see if there was any interest in custom shells for the Xoom. I have been working with the Viewsonic gTab (as a proud owner myself) mainly because I found a way to get accessories that for some reason Viewsonic nor anyone else wants to help give us access to. I have a listing in the marketplace and have been keeping it updated regularly.
Anyway... I am able to get some clear shells for the Xoom and I have a local company that can do custom images on them. Wood grain, Carbon Fiber, so forth and so on. This is a new image that they created and it's just my first prototype, again just seeing if there is any interest if I can get some of these?

I would be interested in one if it had a professional finish...ie. something i wouldnt be embarrased to pull out at work......preferrably with a soft touch finish for grip. It should also have a slightly raised lip so that the screen isnt touching whatever surface it is on when laid face down....hope this helps.....message me when you bring these to market...I would gladly review one for you...which is what i primarily do here on xda....review accessories. and learn about rooting flashing \...screwing up my electronics and then finding a way to fix them.
I'd really like to see a wood grain one if you have a picture. I'm interested, but it still all comes down to price..

When I get that one back i'll get some better pics (that one was my shell from my graphics guy). I have 50 clear half shells on the way now and 50 two peice clear shells now, but the two peice aren't cost effective to get customized.

Do you think you could make one some kind of matte black with a green android dude on it, or matte black with a blue honeycomb bee-android?
I'm thinking of a case with something like this:
http://www.stickitgrafix.com/#!__store
Sign me up for a white carbon fiber case. Or black.
If you could perhaps add more protection into it, and even maybe a front flap or kickstand like the Moto Portfolio case offers, id definitely buy one.
I would definetly like one! Just curious though... where is the image printed? Is it on the inside of the panel (touching the xoom) or is it on the outside of the panel? What type of mm coating has been applied to prevent wearing away of the image?
I am interested, as long as it fits nice and snug, little case!
My 'clear' shells will be here in the next couple days. When I take them to the ' architects' will grab that prototype that you saw the pic of and discuss prices and color options.
I'll post current pics with the tab in the shell.

So tempting man.
not to troll, but this is one of the main reasons i went with the maxipad 2 instead of xoom, the accessories. its insane the amount of accessories apple gets. I had a very tough time swallowing my android pride. I actually refused to open the first 2 i bought because I felt like a traitor. you know what they say, third times a charm.

Trolling cleaned. Please keep it on topic and non-argumentative here. Thank you.
OP... and ideas on whether you will provide a case that has a kickstand?

i have recently ordered this bumper for my Arc and i am pleased with it. looks sleek,sexy,unique and i have gotten great compliments when people saw it. also it has a high quality feel to its hold. it comes in 6 colors
the price is high but try working your charm with the sellers.
note 1) i have no bonds with the sellers so dont ask me for help
note 2) if you order , go easy on the screws and no need for muscles or else you will mess up the screws and have to customize your own or order them from the ebay seller for 10 dollars
this bumper keeps the back and front revealed and maintains the curve of the arc.
whether you think its nice or ugly, believe me you would rather put this on the phone than seeing scratches and chips on your phone.
im only giving my opinion and everyone has their own
here are some pics for my order

i respect your opinion but,
some people drop their phones many times during the day; in a few weeks the phone will look ridiculous with all the scratches and maybe even cracks which will make a person hate their phone and cant afford to change.
so this would be sleek in a way for the protection you get.
it does add a little more weight and a little width only on the edgesbut still i get a decent grip on it.
the otter box is not that attractive(people just got used to seeing them) and it adds so much weight and bulkyness to phones, yet most iphone users use them for protection.
i know it will not be sold here locally
if i can see it and try it on my unit ill probably take the black one
silver arc and silver bumper makes it more bigger

This seems a little excessive, although no doubt will make the phone pretty much indestructible.
But.......how many people here bought the Arc because of how it looks? I did - I would have gone for another HTC (way back from the wizard - that long!) if I wanted best performance etc.
This just completely destroys the look of the phone IMO

Same as any skin. Remove the back from the phone. Do a test fit first to see that it fits correctly. Then apply. The best way is to line up the holes on the back and then smooth out towards the sides to remove any bubbles
Don't worry about wrinkles. Get it lined up and slapped on. Then take a blow dryer and heat it up. That makes it easy to get on straight and remove creases. It also warms up the glue and makes it takier.
I've never understood the appeal of "skins". Personally I feel you'd be better off with a "slim" case, and under most circumstances it would probably be a cheaper route.
A friend had installed a Skinomi variant on his Droid X, and recently upgraded to a S3 as well. He decided to sell off his DX to a co-worker and had one hell of a time removing the skin, which ended up practically melting to the battery door and back casing of the device.
I have one on my nexus at the moment. Considering upgrading to the s3 as soon as I can play with one.
why buy a skin, when you can buy an entire backcover?
someone buy mine. i have a white GS3, but they sent me a black one. 10bucks paypal shipped USPS first class if you want it. PM ME!

It's a replacement back - search on eBay if you're trying to find them without trying to bug a user..... they're all over, here's the one I bought and I love it!

MUCH better than any cheap skin you're going to buy with all those awful n00b cutouts on the edges since they're assuming you don't have a heat gun to stretch it out.... by the way, I do vinyl graphics for a living, I know a thing or two about templates when compared to custom cut out vinyl and these even nicer back covers!
I have one of these and I love it. The only problem is the A and the L fell off.

Thanks! I thought they weren't gonna make a skin, but I am glad you posted this.
Thank you for the info. I'm looking for skins for P9 Plus

Hey folks,
good news for people loving skins on their phone, especially from Dbrand.
They now have the device listed and can be ordered already

Had anyone actually purchased a skin yet? How do they help with the slipperiness of the phone? I'm thinking of getting the copper back and titanium black for the front.
It is amazing and interesting... Is using the skin is user friendly or do we have to do tearing job..

D brand skins are cut perfectly to size - should be very simple to install. I have used them on previous phones.
Mine was shipped last night so I'll update my results once it arrives. Unfortunately, shipping take up to 15 days

I certainly will
Well after a wait of just over 2 weeks from order to delivery I can say that it was well worth the wait.
Phone has a bit more grip now and can finally ditch the horrible plastic thing I've been using.
Application was a doddle and I'm a fussy one. Probably took 10 mins but I did spend another 10 mins smoothing the edges
Let me know if you want any more info.

That look awesome!! Thanks for sharing, I think I'll buy some
I work in car workshop and sometimes we stick those carbon-like stickers on car parts, and sometimes I use it to cover other things like laptop cover or speakers so after I got P9 it was a matter of time to use it on it...
I actually did that with my previous Xperias phones, but with P9 this is more tricky to use those stickers because it have rounded edges.
Here is my first test on how it would look on my phone:
As you can see I skipped upper part of phone, because i didnt had in home scalpel that is needed to cut such small parts. Also its first test, so edges aren't perfect.
Later I will get scalpel from work and I will try to cut it properly.
As for actual materials, we use those cheap stickers that you can buy in packs of 1x3m, they cost less than 5 Euro. Rest it standard: hair dryer, scalpel or any precision knife and ruler. That first try took me about 15 min to cut and apply.
So overall I think its better to try it by yourself before spending 10Euro on it. And even if it will not work, you still could stick it on any other device in your home
Wow, that's really slick looking!
Did you put any on the front bezels ?
Nope, I hate putting anything in front of the phone, its look weird and "cheap" and because you swipe your fingers all the time near edges its give that really annoying feel of "its gonna fell off".
I also get new idea how to make it to fit perfectly on back of the phone. I just make precise template on my computer, and then just print it on back of the sticker, and cut it with scalpel. I totally forgot that my printer support any paper, so it dont care if its not perfect A4 format -_-
Nice, looks good.
How easy do you think it will be to remove in case you sell the phone?
I never had skins on my devices before.
damn hard, it could take you almost 5 second to peel it off :]
EDIT: Here is latest try, this time with upper part near camera.
After whole day of testing I can say that its damn good looking and it really hard to accidentally peel it off, even on that small part that have less than 3mm.
Thanks for sharing! sweet pics! of course now im thinking about selling my P9 and upgrading to the P9 plus which means no DBrands for me sadly
I would rather wait for P10 that will be on market somewhere April-June(release should be March April but we can say that it hit global market month later).
I got my P9 last December, but as I said, all that moding and "more poweeer!" stuff is behind me and I just wanted good looking and good working phone, and P9 give me all that. Actually comparing to any other phone on market even mid-end ones.... they all the same in everyday usage, I was testing galaxy s7 for 3 days before getting P9 and.... nothings special, screen is better and VR(that I use and create content for it) is better, but beside that its all the same.
Today its a matter of picking phone based on look and screen size/res, rest work the same honestly, even camera that quality more depend on person who take pic rather than camera it self.
And I think Dband WILL be supporting P10, maybe not instantly but month or two later and it should be there, after all P series, especially P8 lite and P9 lite are really popular so bigger brothers should get all of that fancy addons from other companies like Dband.
Mitch thanks ty guy, I searched for some nice skins for a long time until I gave it up. Now I read this thread and I'm flashed by the website!
XtemeSkins have quite a lot of skin models. I bought a matt skin and its perfectly flush and fit my p9 . You should try it out.
