I ordered both cases on the same day. The black case arrived first, within 3 or 4 days, and the white one showed up after probably 7-10 days. Not super fast, but not unacceptable for free shipping (from China?).

EDIT: In Colorado Springs, btw. I think it should show that under my avatar.

Posting from my phone so the location doesn't show, though I guess I could've took half a second to tap your name. Lol

Amazon.co.uk! Or really a seller there to be more specific. I tried a number of websites online but they either didn't have it, were charging outrageous amounts, or had shipping issues with the US.

The seller was Mexxtronics out of Germany. Oddly enough, it looks like it isn't offered right now... don't know what's up with that.

Edit: tried to post links to their amazon page but I'm too new! haha >_<

Maybe if you contact them directly they can get you one!

Edit 2: Pricing! After the currency conversions I paid $33.60 for the case with free international shipping and $72.22 including 5.95 GBP in shipping. So about $105 total... not bad considering a GPS dock for my old iPhone would have been $100 by itself (for the Garmin and TomTom ones).
I just received this case too. It looks good but it doesn't provide full protection. The top and bottom edges are practically unprotected. So is the face.
It feels somewhat "rough" on the left and right due to the sharp edges it has.
It does help though when I pick up the from from the desk.
I am not sure I can recommend this case.

That's the same one I got, except mine is all black. I really like this case.

Not got my Titan yet, but I can see that my favourite case manufacturer (Sena) have just released a version for the HTC. I'll be honest, this case offers almost no drop protection, but it is the thinnest, most expensive looking leather case you can get.

Cheers

P.S can't post links or pictures as I'm still a newbie

My Sena has just shipped from the US, so should be getting it after the weekend. In the meantime I've been using an XL size Bugatti black leather case and this fits like a velvet glove. If I hadn't already ordered the Sena, then this would be my main case. Very high quality glossy black leather, has a velcro tab which you can also pull to pop the phone out (very stealth). It has good padding, without adding too much bulk front and back. Still not able to post links, but if you go to Amazon UK and type this ' bugatti SlimCase leather size XL 07883' it will show up.

I got this one, from recommendation (i think from this thread though i cant find it now!)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1807629143...84.m1497.l2649

Comes with a screen protector.

Fits very well, and actually makes the phone much easier to hold as its slightly thicker. There is some grippier bits along the side which make it easier to hold also.

Also, buttons cover the power, camera and volume buttons, but in those cases it makes them almost easier to press. Can also get the power lead and audio jack in without removing the cover.

SLight loss of accuracy on typing, either due to the screen protector or due to me taking liberties, but its no biggy at all, maybe one typo per message. Id rather that than a scratched screen.

Arrived within 36 hours (in UK!), superb for the price id say!

i got something similiar from the UK, but I got a stylus too $6 US and it arrived in like 5 days...pretty amazing. I'm going with soft pull off cases because the dock I want will not allow cases to remain on.

On the back of the phone there are various microphone holes for noise cancellation and stereo recording.
Is there any case that does NOT cover these holes? I can't find one, even the HTC case will cover these holes...

I believe the UK ships with a Carbon Grey colour backplate. Does anyone know where I can get a black one instead?

Also, I wish some company would manufacture a replacement back plate with the kickstand built in as opposed to a seperate cover which fits over the back plate.

Oh and btw you can make your own inexpensive kickstand built in to one of those gel type cases by looking at my thread here:
