I'm very paranoid about dropping my phone so i bought a hard case for $35. You can get a thinner gel case. I got mine from case mate and i have a little bit of heating issues.

I'm wondering... Which is better in terms of protection? Hard case or soft?

Having used both hard and soft cases, I'd say a hard case is going to offer better impact protection. While a soft case will prevent scratches, it won't protect aginst impact damage. For exampme; if your phone fell, and landed on the corner, a soft case won't prevent dents and dings, whereas a hard case would. This of course is only based on my personal experience. Other people may other opinions.

Hi,

I have buyed on ebay this hardcase and it's wery nice and good material. Aluminium case of One V is too slicky, but now I'm satisfied.

There's little bit heating when I'm playing some games, but not so much. With normal usage it's not heating.

Koodo, a pay as you go operator in Canada is selling the black One V for $175! With local sales tax that is $196 all in.

Telus, my operator wants $189.99 on a two year agreement. Canada is famous for it's three year plans (I am still under a plan for my Desire), but buying it contract free for less then I can get it.......with a contract at my own carrier is starting to make it a no brainer for me. Now if only I could convince my Wife I need this phone!

Put my 32gb card in the one V, the old 16gb back into the Desire for my oldest son....done!


EDIT: Sorry for the off topic post guys, especially while quoting a moderator! My Desire has been "naked" since the day my pre-order arrived late August 2010 ( Canada was late getting this phone). I have dropped it tonnes, banging it against my airplane's rudder pedals while picking it up, and besides a few marks in the corners where the finish has worn to bare medal, and some dings in the plastic back cover, she's still a beauty, just shows her age. I like my phones to look used though!

I recently picked up the HTC One V in Canada and I have yet to find a place that sells cases for it. Anyone know a good place online to order (hopefully within Canada)?

I got a hard case from Koodo, I forget how much it was. They should have them at any Koodo kiosk.

Thanks, I checked everywhere but Koodo (haha). I'll be sure to stop by one and check out the hard case.

Check The Source since they're also selling the HTC One V for Bell.
