HTC Desire - Where do I get this phone case?

Hi All,
I was just wondering where I can find the silver HTC Desire case. Since I can't post links until my account is verified by a moderator, just follow these short instructions to find the awesome case I'm talking about!
Step 1. Click on the Mobile Tech World link in shure2's thread titled "HD video recording? ".
Step 2. Look at the second picture. The HTC Desire case I want is in the middle.
So if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively if anyone knows where I can get official HTC accesories like cases etc. that would a great help.
Thanks in advance!

That picture doesn't look like the Desire is encased. It looks...naked
Are talking about the same picture? Maybe you think it's in a silver case because the photo is overexposed from the flash?

Btw, as far as I know, HTC doesn't make cases for their phones. I could be wrong since I've only seen 3rd party case makers...

The only place I know they are selling this one is from coolblue in belgium and netherlands they claim to be an exclusive seller of this one.
silver desire at coolblue

@ohyeahar - That's what I thought originally, that it might be overexposed, but then I thought that couldn't be the explanation.
@Staticsoul - Thanks heaps for this, it looks great imo. However it doesn't have the red trimming around the camera, hmm... But's it a step in the right direction, thanks guys!

This IMO is how HTC have managed to cash in while NOT having this phone exclusive to a network.
They will offer the Silver Colour exclusive to one network in each region, similar to how Nokia do it. So for Example, in the UK all networks may get the normal Desire but T-Mobile could get the normal and exclusively get the silver desire.

I have read that the red trim on the camera will not be on the desire when it releases the picture you're showing is a prototype model.

Hmm, that's a bit disappointing...
I'm inclined to purchase the phone from smartphone shop, however I can't read Dutch!
Also the phone will work on my current network's (Vodafone) frequencies but Three Mobile (which I'm going to get) only supports UMTS 2100 in Australia. This phone (if purchased from Belgium) doesn't seem to support 2100, according to the web site anyhow...
I could flash to a UK ROM soon after release but I'm not sure how long an upload of different ROM's to the internet typically takes soon after release... Depending on how long it takes I might be chewing up a lot of credit with Vodafone due to the data-intensive apps that I plan to run.

I don't think they ship anywhere else than belgium or the netherlands. but maybe there are other retailers that sell it exclusively in the UK?

Does anyone know about the black one? I've seen the black several places, and I think it looks much sexier than the brown one. So the question is where to get it

Yeah, I saw it there after making my post. Exclusive for France, though? That would suck
I also read a few places (after posting) that the black one might be promo-model only, which could be true, considering that the pictures I've seen are all the same (iirc), and that those obviously aren't of the retail version, because there is a few differences from the other versions we've seen. However, I saw a black one in a video, that looked just like the final versions, so I'm still confused.

Available now in South Australia: MicroSim needed

Hi
Bought mine from Allphones for $668 in Adelaide metro area.
Keep phoning stores; some will say it only comes with a plan, others will have unlocked models you can buy outright.
A few notes:
It only takes MicroSim, so if you have standard SIM it won't fit and you'll have to order MicroSim.
It is fast and snappy, Quadrant is 5006.
Screen is not as crisp and clear as Samsungs S Amoled, doesn't come close!
Screen (on mine anyway) has a yellow tint.
Cheers
Aussie

Thanks for your post...
The screen issues are disturbing. You going to follow up with the retailer? In all the reviews I've read no-one has mentioned a yellow tint before.
Did Allphones have black and white?

No yellow here. Micro sim can be made from normal size one. Just be careful not to cut the metal contacts and your fine.

After two day there is one scratch on the screen
I cut the sim as in the video but did not work in the one x it seems it dependent in the metal contacts size of the sim

Hi
Allphones only had white. It looks quite ok and not easily marked.
Regarding the screen it looks like previous htc phones which had the same tint. My Samsung Note has more clarity and colours are richer. Its simply the Super Amoled technology - it's better. Im sure my eyes will adjust plus I recall an app that may adjust the hue.
Cheers

Thanks for your post but ive ordered a microsim. By some accounts the One X needs proper m. sim. It has a pull out tray and the sim must fit perfectly. Plus if I mess it up i cant put it back into my old phone!

For people who can't just order a micro sim (not all carrier's will supply one without losing your number....)
Buy a Noosy Micro SIM Cutter,
I paid under £4 & it comes with 2 adapters that turn it back into a regular size sim card.
I'm currently using my cut sim card in my SGS2 using the supplied adapters (until my HTC ONE X arrives)

I have no idea why the poly wore out so soon, but my brother had the same thing on his HOX too. Well he just strolled into the HTC service center, and got it replaced for free too! :victory: Since your HOX is just a week old, you can try the same! (not sure if the people in your region will replace it or not though)

FINALLY!! Replacement LCD & Digitizer

After all the people who broke the screen and had nothing to do i give to you! (drum roll please) http://vifocal.com/lcd-display-with...-oneplus-one-a0001-64gb-16gb-replacement.html

And here is a repair guide for those of you who are brave enough!

And a https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/OnePlus+One+Teardown/26484 for those who wish to repair the phone themselves.

@zephiK thanks ill add to op

In the ifixit teardown I noticed that the battery is not TOO difficult to remove. Does anyone know if replacement batteries are available for this device.
It is using a 3.8v 3100mah LiPo battery.
OnePlus probably woudn't sell the batteries on their own. I also read on another forum somewhere (can't remember which one now) somebody was thinking of creating a way that the battery connector could be extended and fit into the battery compartment. This way you wouldn't have to unscrew the plate just to take out the battery.
Even if this is not feasible it would still be reassuring to know where to purchase replacement batteries from. If anybody knows anything on this, please let us know, thanks.

Thanks for the link. Where is the repair guide? I see a Teardown link.

When installed does this have little dots on the top of the screen. A friend just recently had a new 3rd party screen/digitizer installed on her G2 and you can see like small dots spaced perfectly across the phone. I am wondering if she just got a low quality replacement.

I've tried many times to repair my phones myself, every single time there was something gone wrong :laugh: Anyway glad to hear this :victory:

Yellow band?
Does anyone try it out? Does it have yellow band, like most of our phones have?

I'we seen 6 OPO's (with different dates of production) and all of them have yellow band at the bottom of the screen, so I can assumed that the most of OPO's have yellow band. My three friends says, tahey have no yellow band, but it is defenitely there (maybe they don't want to see it).
Go search for "Yellow" in OPO pages and you will see that so much people talk about it.
Even OPO admitted, that every 1+ have slightly yellow band on bottom of their phones.

Funny mine doesn't. So ha to you.

I hope you are not colour blind …

Mine doesn't have the yellow band either. I thought it was a bold statement.

I received 2 and neither had the yellow band. I am certain that I have at least average color differentiation.

Can confirm no yellow banding on mine

M9 Phones have more than one type/brand of screen?

Hello everyone,
I've just jumped to M9 from my old, but still as hard as stone Sennie not even two weeks ago. And today I got another M9 for my gf. My phone is a Taiwan M9U model, and hers, which I got today is M9 shipped to Germany. And here the story began, I turned on the new phone -note that mine was new too- and realized that colors on the displays look different. There cannot such big difference of course as they have the same screen technology with same resolution and size. However, still, on the German one, whites are whiter, on the Taiwan model whites are a bit yellowish -not as much as amoleds- but still yellowish compared to the new one.. Overally, German M9 screen looks better than the Taiwan M9U.
Note: Both phones are stock, not touched, updated to the latest version, display temperature vs. everything default.
Here are some possible reasons for that problem:
1. I remember Sensation screens were produced by two different manufacturers, and they had slight color balance differences of course. So this is one of the possible reasons for this difference (could not check the Panel id, getting permission denied when I put dmesg command. Dont know if this way I can get the screen brand on these phones, this was how we did to get Sensation display model/brand).
2. Taiwan phone was manufactured within one of the first sets of M9 models, so it is one of the earliest M9 phones, while the German one is 5 months old HTC live support agent says. So the changes in the display colors may be due to changing materials or whatever in time.
3. Probably the worst one here: Screen gets yellowish in time as the phone gets a bit hot, though it has been only 12 days since I started using my M9.
I will try to provide photos later, as I need another camera to show that clearly.
I am sorry if this is mentioned in the forum before.

I don't have a direct link but this topic has already been discussed several times. Boot to download mode and enter the system info menu. The line with TP at the beginning tells you which touch panel is built into your phones. There are M9 with a synaptics touch panel and others with a maxim (or something like that) touch panel.

Thanks for the information. M9 has Synaptics touch controller, dont have any idea about the other brand you have. And synaptics manufactures LCD displays in this case?

Ah, my bad. I was in a hurry when I wrote my last post and mixed two things together. There are two touch panel versions and if I remember correctly the maxim one (or however it is called) had/has problems with some custom roms. Regarding the colours you might want to take a look at the following threads:

The silver / gold and gold have white lines.
The gunmetal had black lines.
There were early testing units with black lines that never reached production.
You may have a fake, where did you purchase it from?

I bought from Aliexpress. The phone is working perfect. Only the problem is these lines. How can I know if is fake?
Here the link:

It's a trusted seller. He said some units comes with black lines, that is normal. What do you think? He accept returns if I want.
