Think they do not sell directly to the customer, but I'm quite sure the ones posted by MADJID are made by them. The pics are the same.

I got my silicone case for the Touch Diamond today. I ordered it from http://www.netimes.com/shop/black-silicone-skin-case-for-htc-touch-diamond-p3700-p-1200.html.

It fits OK, but there is one thing that I think could be better. The cutout for the USB connector in the bottom is 4cm wide for some reason. Because of this they have not been able to make a hole for the stylus pen. This means that there is no way of taking out the stylus pen when the silicone case is on! Seems pretty strange to me...

If they had made the USB cutout just 2cm wide, which would have been more than enough, there would have been no problem to make a hole for the stylus pen.

[daren1]

I notice that the cover creates a 'raised edge' around the screen. Does it interfere with the touchscreen?

[leien]

Good question! I'm not using my fingers on the Diamonds touch screen a lot, I usually use the stylus pen.

But after trying it with my fingers for a while, I think that it does intefere a bit when you use the fingers for navigating. If you swipe your finger from the right to the left on the screen, your finger often "catch" the left side of the silicone case and stretch it a bit. But as the silicone stretches without problems, I don't know if it will be a problem in the long run.

i fc****ing dropped my Diamond this morining and the beauty is spickled with scratches now. (fortunatly not the screen)

if anyone jumps into a polisher to remove scratches on the lower part where the keys are , please post here :(

Devaluated by at least 200 US becausew of this ... Damn myself

[Harts@J]

How about Brando?

[pizzachips]

i tried out the silicone case at a local mall
and it seemed ok

it is ugly as shit
but its cheap and does the job...

i decided to stick with a hard clear plastic case though, just seemed a bit better ...

[Diplomate]

For those of you who already have a silicone case for the Diamond, could you please tell me if you are still able to rub your finger around the edge of the center button and navigate up and down lists? Or does the silicone prevent this from happening (as it is based on capacitance, and given that silicone is an insulator, I would expect that this would stop working...).

BTW, I agree that the cutout at the bottom, way too bug for USB and with no possibility of taking the stylus out, is pretty stupid! First thing I noticed... :( But despite this I might still be tempted over the stock case I got with my Orange phone.

Thanks

Works fine with Brando´s silicone case.

[captainsensible2002]

Got myself a pair of these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120285323951&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=002

Really good fit, and a nice back to them (padded rubbery diamonds. And you can get the stylus out!

[F1Mad]

Anyone used a silicone case on the Compact IV yet? If so, does the case stretch to fit the Compact IV nicely, or is it best to wait for a dedicated case for this phone?

captainsensible2002, does your case still allow you to use the scroll wheel?

i got these today....look great

very happy and cheap as chips! :p

[PaulusUK]

I have one from an HK ebay seller - very much like the others here.

Its OK, but the touch dial is blocked by the rubber, so can't be used. And the touch dial light for missed call can't be easily seen.

The other problem with these, is that the screen then becomes recessed into the cover, and bits of dirt/fluff/grease get wiped to the edges of the screen and build up there making it look an ugly mess.

The phone is also harder to slide out of your pocket, so prepare for missed calls!

This one works, I've it and I can use the scroll wheel.

I got mine in eBay from HK including a shield for a very good price, this silicon case allows extracting Stylus and seeing central button light without problems, It took just one week to send it from HK to Spain!

I am very happy with it, and the rubber around the scren does not bother at all.

It is available in several curerncies so you can save a bit with corrency exchange ;-)

[captainsensible2002]

The ones I got DO allow you to use the scroll wheel!

[hertc]

yes, I've got one from eBay, there are two open rectangular areas so I can use all hard buttons easily .. £0.50 delivered btw )))

[nicoloco]

On my side I got this one
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150269545034&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=005

It fits well, the USB hole is not too big so no problem for the stylus.

The scroll wheele (not sure of the term ... I mean the sensitive centrale area) still works even if there is no hole but a little bit less than without the silicone case

[daling]

This is what I got from a local cellphone store in HK for HK$40.00(US$5.00). It comes in white or gray. The scroll wheel's hole is cut bigger so no problem scrolling with my chubby fingers. The only thing is it's too "grippy" as in hard to pull in and out from tight Jeans. :P

sorry to bring this thread back from the dead ... does anyone know of any silicone case for the diamond using the official extended battery?

All i can find are cases that fit the diamond with the original battery which is slimmer ... haven't yet found one that fits the diamond with the extended battery.

[Rich1707]

Me too !!
The standard silicone case looks awful with the official extended battery :-(

[tempted]

I recently received mine, I bought two.

one from ---

Here
(http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14952)

and
here (https://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4143&t_mode=des)

Both ended up being the same case, seems great to me, fits perfectly. The only thing that might not work is the scroll button, but i don't really use that button anyways.. btw.. it's a touchscreen :) .

Here are some pics.

I also bought one in black, prefer the white one because I can see the lights from the buttons. My screen looks F'ed because i put my screen protector on wrong. damn stickers and such... work in progess.

[zoltar99]

That is not for the extended battery, it only fits with the normal battery. Plus it doesn't look so good in white, imho. For the extended battery, try looking for a Touch Pro case, it is thicker than the Diamond, should be the same size. I've just bought a soft pouch for mine, should arrive in a day or two, hopefully it will fit the phone with the extended battery.

That may be a good idea .. haven't thought of it, thanks.
In the mean time, if anyone finds a silicone case for the diamond with the *extended* battery then please do let us know! I know I'm not the only one looking for one :)

im going to cut out the lower square so the buton lights show and the zoom circle can be used.

I have that one. You shouldn't cut anything really: the circle light can be seen and yuu *can* use the circle zoom button (the bottom area of the HTC TD is capacitive and all 8 butons plus the zoom circle work fine through the silicone only with the finger). I would keep it as it is ... protects the whole surface and buttons fringes.

I wouldn't care much for the 4 small button lights, the case has the button icons embossed so you can feel them with your finger (something I think is better than flat).

Also, you can get it off ebay for only 3 pounds (P&P included) and you also get a screen protector: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150309418618

I second that. Think mine was from gps4less and is black. All capacitive touch areas work fine. The only downside to using a silicone case is to put it in a cradle you have to take it out of the case but that doesn't bother me.

[Topfar]

Any sign of a black silicon case to fit the diamond with the official extended battery yet?

[mygreatdiamond]

i get one free from the pda shop.....i think it is damn cheap.......cost less than $1 usd may be.......

but make my diamond look ugly.....the center touch wheel can function normally...but the most expensive "TRADEMARK" part-the DIAMOND on back cover is totally covered, my TD looked like cheap China phone.....:(

think to get a porch for td but look even ugly.......so now use silicone case+a cloth bag as protection for my td...

plan to upgrade to ZAGG invisibleSHIELD....but seem many problems..:eek:...

any recommendation?:confused:
