What's in the box - case?

[rakh1]

Hey all,

I've got mine on pre-order and have been looking around for ideas about what comes in the box. I found this: http://www.slashphone.com/htc-touch-...unboxing-16485 and various other links to the same sourse.

It appears you get a charger, headphones, USB lead. However, there is no case?

There were rumours around that the special self-cleaning case might be included: http://www.phonemag.com/htc-touch-di...deo-052706.php but this is not present in the unboxing pics. For a phone to come from HTC without a case is a little strange...

Anyone found anything more about this???

I don't think it's gonna be in the box.
The case (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=168360&asource=163250) is about €15

O2 Orbit didnt have a case either, maybe thats just O2 but it does show they will drop it if need be

I think the Orbit 2 does come with a case AKA Touch Cruise

true. bought 2 orbit 2's and both had a case. they came with co pilot too. so maybe the one's without copilot didn't have a case.

i really think this phone needs to be cased
with that back it won't take long before it gets messed up

I just got my Diamond this afternoon in Hong Kong and confirm that the case is not included.

HTC Diamond is without the case, the german xda diamond you will get with the case!

The contents of the box is probably region specific in some cases.

It appears that it will be case-less. So, I ordered the HTC slip case for it - only a £10'er so if I end up with two of them no big deal....

Now, TomTom is another matter - let's hope that comes with it!

Errrmm.. NO.. Dodgy grey Hong Kong import from expansys! They advertised tehm as "UK stock" but they were lying!

I have got a business version, which does not include copilot and extras ( car charger/mount). And mines comes with the pouch(case). Advice to users. if you have the orbit2 please do not buy crystal cases or screen protectors form ebay because i bought a case and a protector and they do not fit as it is different.

Please can you post a pics of your package with accesories, was it from portugal

Plenty of articles on this and HTC is not happy about it.
Especially as HTC Europe will NOT support Hong Kong import models (and they are easy to trace with S/N and Imei.

Wonder how long you gonna mis your Diamond if needed to send back (to Hong Kong) for repair.

Price comparison:
Bought mine in HK yesterday for 5600 HKD downtown . Should be around 700US.

Euro pricing avarage : 585 -600 Euro. Do the maths and understand why Expansys is importing (though they will mention it on their sites if it is UK / HK or whatever version normally)

Is there a screen protector included in the box? Some unboxing reviews I've seen included a screen protector; others make no mention of one.

Yes, there is a SP in the box, but the quality is bad. Scratches easely, gives like a fume - dusty look when in sunlight.
I wait for a better quality OEM version - to reccomend.

Yeah, most freebies that come in any package are generally crap to slightly acceptable quality. I guess it will do for the time being whilst I source out a full-body skin/shield or a good quality SP & case. Any word on Martin Fields SPs?

It's already out, i have already put it on my Diamond, very happy about it.

Awesome to hear - maybe I'll opt for a Martin Fields screen protector instead of an InvisibleShield. Does the Martin Fields SP make the touchscreen noticeably less sensitive at all?
