Seidio Spring Clip Holster (Nexus One) - Fit the Desire?? - Desire General

Hi Guys and Gals,
Well i've just had my web order confirmed from T-Mobile UK, phone arriving tomorrow.
I've been searching high and low for a suitable case, but to no avail. However, looking at the Seidio website, i see they do a holster style case for the Nexus One. This case can only be used with a 'naked' phone.
Could anyone advise if the HTC Desire would fit in this case? The measurements are so negligible (0.2mm wider, same height, 0.4mm thicker)?
I'm hoping it will but just need confirmation from anyone.
Cheers
Datafanatic

not sure wither it will fit or not but here are the dimensions of both, i would wait till a specialized case is up
Dimensions:
Desire : 119 x 60 x 11.9 mm
Nexus : 119 x 59.8 x 11.5 mm

Hi irkan,
If you have a look at the 3rd or 4th pic, the holster has the space for the extra 0.4mm in depth (i think).
Its the width that worries me. The first 2 pics looks very snug, and even though it is only 0.2mm wider, i'm concerned it might be a squeeze!
Might have to take the plunge to see
Found one on fleabay for £20 inc p+p (from USA), compared to seidio direct who wanted something like $59!!!!!!
Regards
Datafanatic

............

Well i've taken the plunge and bought it.
Will let you know when it arrives if the Desire fits (which i very much hope). If not....a bit of modification may be in order
Regards

Wouldn't a generic iPhone sleeve fit it?

HTC Universal

Hi Guys,

one piece or, 2 piece ?Well... just wondering if does anyone know...
Has any pda accessories company started manufacturing it as yet ?

yeah....
Krusell already do a range of cases that are designed to fit most PDA's, by chance they are called "Universal"
I also want this vajacase for my o2 xda2s............
The case that comes with the HP IPAQ 5550 (belt pouch) works okay. I bought one from eBay. I have ordered the Krusell Universal, will report on fit in the next few days.
I have the Krusell Horizontic Case.
The case is very good. But I am expecting the new proporta cases in the next couple of days.
I ordered the Krusell Horizontal pouch Medium size, its a very tight fit. So be aware.

What made you order that when their site states the large is the only thing they stock to fit the Universal?
http://www.krusell.se/product.php?s=2&product=2088
Just wondering. Have you tried a large one and it's too big?
@joebongo, when I last looked there was no guidance on which pouch would fit therefore I used the internal dimensions are a guide. Should've waited a few days!

Cases update

So has anyone bought a silicon like case yet. I have been hoping someone would have put up a review for a case by now. So if you have bought a case for the aria where did u get it? And how good is it? Brand-name? Price? Etc.
Thanks in advance!

Got a case from at&t store its great in quality. already droped a few times with no issues. I think its the htc brand one. It cost like 20 bucks but its tougher and firmer than most silicon style cases ive seen. Also not as sticky as most so it slides in your pocket easier. Although its still sticky when its 92 degrees out like it was today.

The Amzer silicone one provides good protection but is bulky and does not fit snuggly on the phone. I could imagine the phone slipping out of the case to indicate how loosely it fits.
When I picked mine up from the AT&T store, they had a pretty nice soft shell case for $25. It was nice looking, fit the phone well (I almost couldn't get the thing off), and looked like it would provide decent protection. I skipped on buying it, however, since the price seemed a bit steep.
i just went to the ATT store today and they had a glossy black (maybe gunmetal) hard case for the aria, it was 25 bucks and i didnt feel like spending that much when i could get the same online for cheaper, but it did look nice.
didnt get a chance to put it on the phone though.
also, it was in a package that said soft case.
I love how this phone feels like it already has a case on it! I haven't dropped the phone (yet, thankfully) but If i did i would be too distraught. I just want to be able to buy a replacement back cover (OEM) for less than $30.

It's a nice hard-ish version of your typical silicone case. It's actually really good and sturdy and my only gripe is that it's a pain to unlock it.. so I use No Lock, which allows you to unlock the phone with any button...the optical touchpad has become my new best friend

The Amzer silicon case purchased actually says HD Mini on its packaging. It is quite a loose-fitting case. The one from AT&T, which is more of a plastic smoke translucent case, fits very snuggly with the only downside that it's $25. It says HTC on its back and the silver HTC logo of the phone itself shows through nicely.

I just bought my wife a case from pdair for the hd mini and it fits great. The have a number of good colors and its snug as a bug.
It's a very durable silicon skin. Comparable to the one from at&t but its actually easier to push the buttons with the pdair case. So its confirmed for me: hd mini cases work great for th aria.

Soft pouch for Galaxy Nexus

Hi,
Anyone know any soft pouch that would fit the Galaxy Nexus?
For my Nexus S, I am using this:
http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-page.php?divid=Google&model=Google+Nexus+S&cat=Cases&skuno=82280
The material is very soft, and I like that.
I put my Nexus S naked there, without screen protector. And it's still good, shinny, no scratches
So, I am wondering if there is this kind of pouch for the Galaxy Nexus size.
Probably from Galaxy S II?
Thanks.
This is nice!

Amazon UK have a range of Bugatti covers (I don't remember if exactly that one was listed, since I'm looking for a holster type case).
Balls to covers/cases. Seem like a waste of time really. If one came with GN then I wouldn't mind (no idea if one does or not).
The buagatti soft cover dimensions I can find: 62 x 112 mm
Galaxy Nexus: 67 mm x 135 mm
I'm sure it would stretch to accomodate the width, but it's no good if the phone is hanging out the top of the pouch.
edit: apparently those dimensions are for the small case though, maybe there's one that would work. Having a hell of a time finding this thing though.
I found the official site:
http://www.bugatti-mobilecases.de/handytaschen_slimcase-sl-black-bugatti_4871.html
There the SL size 76mm x 133mm
I think that would fit nicely

Perhaps so, if it's like the old nexus one case we should be able to stretch it lengthwise a little bit to accommodate the height disparity.
To that end, searching for SL size got a few hits:
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/search-1.html?keyword=bugatti+slimcase+sl
edits: found one that will ship to US, added back to top and killed others
---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------
Went ahead and ordered one, will try to get some empirical data on whether it will fit the nexus well when I receive it...I figure if my thunderbolt fits and I get x amount of clearance with the height, then we're good
I found a beautiful one, but not yet in stock.
It's made of suede leather and the logo's are created by lasertechnology.
I hope it will come soon, because I like this one a lot
I'm not yet allowed to place a link, but check budgethoesjes.nl en click on the Galaxy Nexus.

I think I'll be getting that case unless Samsung are kind and include a nice slipcase with the phone.
I dig the design on that, but don't want exposed corners.
I really hope you get a nice case inside the box. I know with my HTC HD2 I got a really sexy leather pouch and I still have even after two years, it's treated my phone well and saved it a few times Hopefully Samsung will be kind and give us one for all the damn confusion there is around this phone...lol
The slip case that came with the Nexus One was amazing. It's the perfect protection for a phone. I like the naked phone handling experience (no cases/screen protectors) and this protects it in your pocket. I wish more OEM's would include one with their phones.
yeah the nexus one case is what I'm all about emulating. I used it on my droid inc since it was the closest thing to a nexus I could get at the time and it fit in the same pouch =)....I miss that pouch!
I just got one of this from Bugatti, size SL
Tested on my friend's SGS2 and it is perfect fit.
But, keep in mind that GN is 5 mm taller. So this Bugatti SL will expose the phone a little bit, which I like. Because that make it easier to grab and pull it off the pouch!
PERFECT
Now, back to waiting my pre-order in The Netherlands ... *duh* ... *painful*
Has anyone fond anything available yet? Any sort of sleeve or pouch?
Phone due next week, and would really like to have something to protect it until more accessories start to drip through around xmas time.
Got the bugatti case in today, testing fit with my thunderbolt as I don't have a GN. It fits just about perfect with this phone, with edges hanging over top just enough to provide some protection. Tbolt is 121 mm versus 136 for the GN, so the GN will definitely be hanging out of this case if used. The material feels more suedey than neoprene and although it feels nice, does not stretch like the old nexus one cases. I don't see it suiting my purposes for the GN as I want the phone fully contained in the pouch.
Attached: picture of my thunderbolt in case
Additionally...the different material is much more grippy to the phone, it is really hard to get it out of the pouch (unlike the nexus one pouch, sigh!). I'd rate this as not too great for the galaxy nexus if you are trying to emulate the good old nexus one pouch.
I tested bugatti on SGS II and fitted well.
Certainly GN will be hanging out about five mm, but thats ok to have something to hold to release it from the pouch. I have similar like this situation with my Nexus S.
And about the material, you are right, it does not stretch much. But it can stretch! So, I expect it will be better in the long run (stretched).
Unless we dan find another brand ...

Case mate tough.

I've just taken delivery of a case-mate tough case for my One X after having them previously fitted to my Desire and Sensation. They have always fitted really well, felt good and grippy and offered good protection. This one however feels cheap and non grippy and after fighting with it for five minutes I gave in trying to get it to sit right on the phone. It just plain doesn’t fit! So I’ve printed out my return postage label from Amazon and will send it back for a refund. Very disappointing but the question is, what do I replace it with? Has anyone else had a similar experience with the tough case on their One X and are there any other good alternatives out there?
Bump: It can't just be me surely?
Amazing, so it would seem that i'm the only person in the world that thinks the tough case for the One x is rubish compared to previous versions! Either Amazon are selling cheap Chinese fake's or case-mate quality has gone down the pan...
I tried the tough and also the pop yesterday. Tough case was cheap and tacky but the pop was terrible. Once on the phone it is a nightmare to remove and you risk damaging your device. Review of the pop on WWW.mobilemaduk.Co.uk

I have the same case and find it perfect to be honest…. Sure its not a fake? (if they even exist)
Got mine from a hight street store though, Amazon marketplace can have fakes on it.
Its snug fit, takes seconds to take off and put back on. The buttons work well and are covered well. The fit between the rubber and the hard shell is spot in, cant tell its two peices to be honest.

Thanks for the info Steve, i suspected it may have been a fake to be honest.
My previous tough cases fitted really well as you say, this one was really poor.
One question for you, both my previous ones had a date wheel molded in to the silicone and the outer shell, this one didn't. Does yours?
There are a few threads and reviews about casemate tough in the accessories section.
You might want to have a look there.

Got a casemate from carphone warehouse when I bought my one x. It was a struggle to fit without breaking the device through pressure. Once it was on I found the buttons almost unusable, they didn't seem to line up correctly with the actual phone buttons. Eventually took it off which also nearly broke my device. Worst. Case. Ever.
Best case I've ever had was an otterbox for my desire hd
TL;DR: Otterbox>Casemate
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Thanks for the replies guys, I’d like to try the otterbox but they aren’t available yet in the UK.
Hopefully won't be long.
Just to say, I've got the aforementioned case - it seems to fit my One X cleanly enough.
Mine came from Carphone Warehouse though, not online.
Have you considerd buying the Ballistic SG case? im using it and it just PERFECT. fits my global one x perfectly and its really easy to remove it from your pocket (i had casemate before and it was just terrible).
i bought the at&t version and it fits well to my global one!
I bought my tough case from carphone warehouse to, and it doesn't feel like a normal tough case! The silicone is cheap plus the case feels slippery not the usual high quality I expect from casemate! I had the tough case on my desire and desire hd and galaxy s2 so I know how it should feel!
I have noticed there seems to be 2 different tough cases for the hox, if you look on you tube casemate has a video of it which is the case I have (square cut out for headphone jack) but all other reviews for this case on you tube by others shows a tough case with a different headphone jack cut out and a larger cutout for the speaker on the back of the phone! On my case the writing above the speaker is not visible once the case is on but on the other case you can just see the bottom of the writing at the top of the speaker cutout! Anyone else noticed this? It would be interesting to get feedback!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Just to update you on this, I’ve been to both carphone warehouse and the O2 shop locally and looked at all the tough cases they had in for the One X. None of them had any date stamping and none of them felt as good as my previous tough cases. Then i had a look at a tough case for a SGS3 and it was both date stamped and of nice quality as i would expect. So what's going on here, have CM deliberately made the One X case less good or are they all fakes?
I’ve just been looking at the Ballistic SG case now and that looks like it might be my next case, on Amazon though there’s a 1 to 3 month delivery time!

You could assist me better on this open forum for the benefit of all potential customers. Can you please confirm whether or not all your tough cases should have a date stamp moulded in to them? After further investigation I now have three friends who have a tough case fitted to their Sensations and they all came from Amazon and none of them have the date stamp that mine does. They all feel of inferior quality to mine as did my recent One X purchase.
Has your quality gone down hill or might they be fakes?
I and others await your reply with baited breath...
One week after emailing support as suggested by CaseMate and including a link to this thread, no reply...

That being said, it looks like neither company will be producing a product for this model in the foreseeable future, so what other options do we have? I looked for phones that had similar dimensions and it seems the GS4 when compared is almost identical, give or take a slight difference.
Nexus - 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm (5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 in)
GS4 - 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in)
There are a few cases listed on SENA's website for the GS4 - what do you guys think? Will the sleeves / pouches created for the GS4 work, or should we hold out in hope of a company creating something for the Nexus 5.
Those who prefer the leather cases and have an N5, what are your thoughts?

Dodo leather wallets/pouches are also not being made for Nexus 5 which is disappointing. I emailed them when I first got my nexus 5 and they stated they had no plans to make them

I use an HTC pouch designed for the One X and some of the other recent HTC phones:

Cost me about $10 off eBay... I have been using these pouches since I had a HTC Desire. Got the above case for my Galaxy Nexus, and to my surprise it fit the Nexus 5 quite nicely (it was always a bit big on the Galaxy Nexus).
It is a tight fit, but I have an older version of the same case so I know it stretches. The width is fine, but the height is an exact fit, there's no slack at the top end so if you drop it on the exposed side, it won't be well protected.
I'll put photos if anyone is interested...
where could one get this case in canada without paying 2 much for shipping. Not willing to pay the same or more then the case for shipping...

The Bugatti's are nice but seem a little thin

Media Devil Artisan leather pouch - wow
I just got the Media Devil Artisan leather pouch today am I'm totally impressed with the quality for the price... It shipped rather quickly for something coming from jolly old England to Minnesota... I got the black w/black stitching. I'd probably order a second one if I could get it in natural brown leather. I guess I won't be stalking Sena's site anymore waiting for their vapor sleeve.... :laugh:

I have a Dodo Durables for a HTC One sleeve and it will work with the Nexus 5 fine but it's a somewhat tight fit. It will sometimes trigger the power button when inserting/removing the phone. I wish they offered an all leather option - the canvas gets a little floppy with use - probably not as much of an issue when you're using it with the phone it's intended for.
