[Q] Looking for Desire S skin/case sources

---

hi all.

can any one suggest a supplier for a Desire S gel/silicon skin/ case similar to the ones for the HTC Wildfire (https://www.amazon.co.uk/EMARTBUY-WI...424909&sr=1-21

Sorry for the long url.

I'm not interested in the "plain gel" cases and I would rather buy new. I'm reasonably happy to use a non-UK supplier so long as they can ship to the UK.

Thanks in advance

I've been surprised and disappointed at how few accessories are available for the Desire S

Check out mobilefun.co.UK
There aren't many cases out there yet. I'm waiting to see if otterbox release one

Thanks I'll take a look. unfortunately I don't have an ebay account but I'm sure I can find someone to buy one for me.

Otterbox just released their commuter case for the desire s, should be available in the UK soon.

Have just taken reciept of the otterbox commuter. Took 5 days to ship to UK direct from otterbox and as usual its exceptional quality. Every port has a good flap seal and yet adds no noticable distortion of the design of the phone. Bought it do 35 usd so about 25 gbp

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.

I finally went for a neat silicone skin on ebay.

Nonetheless it's still frustrating to have to work "so hard" to find accessories for HTC devices.

I know it's not everything but I can't help thinking that Apple have focussed on cultivating a few trusted partners who always seem to release quality (and quantity) accessories whenever a new device is released. It means that generally Apple owners (new and old) can enjoy the whole experience of phone/tablet, case, etc at the same time.

I would suggest that this lends itself to a feeling that the whole world is Apple when they release something.

Here endeth the psalm

UPDATE: Well a little under 1 month after purchase, the gel case is losing shape and barely protecting my phone. Disappointed really - I'd hoped to get a t least 12 months out of the case...

Bought an Otterbox Commuter the other day....can't see a better case for the phone. Classic and perfect fit. Remains to be seen how durable the port covers are tho

The 'Barely there' case is a good price from amazon, but when fitted gives the impression of very little protection!
