Silicone case recommendation?

---

Hi,

just joined the forums, excellent site for info on my new Vario II after having an Imate Jam for a year or two.

I'd like to get a matte black silicone case for the phone, I just want to protect it from scratches but also be able to keep it in my pocket & use it one handed browsing sites also writing emails on the train etc. Searching the forums I found this Hong Kong one

Does anyone have this case, is it any good? Has anyone ordered from them, are they expensive/slow to get to the UK?

Let me know if there are any other cases I should look at first?

many thanks,
Ronski

I'm purchasing the same case I think from

9.99 us
I should have it in 10 business days. I like these because it helps me keep a grip plus protects it from scratches.

I'll let you know what I think when I get it.

There is also this one from PocketSolutions. It looks like it gives better protection.

See this thread page 2 "Gel Skin" and also page three for further comments.

thanks for the links, I'll check them out. 1st post using the phone, this keyboard is a bit tricky. guess it's just practice!

I see there's a Black one xultar, I might order that one.

OK here's the deal. Got the white one from Pocketsolutions and it is for a Tytn so it fits pretty loose..or somthing and the buttons don't fit properly.

I ordered the black one from...that igo place and they only sent the bottom portion. I contacted them to send the top half. I hope it is for a true 8525. I'll be pretty miffed if it isn't.

I'll report back when I get the black one...

BTW if you use a sticky pad in your ride...the silicone case won't hold and it'll slide.

Ok thanks Xultar.

Let me know if the Igo one fits any better when you get it. Finally got a Javoedge matte screen protector, so much better than the T-mobile rubbish that came with the phone!

Cheers

Welp...the one you have pictured is the best one in my opinion. The 2 piece silicone are a pain. There is a slight lip that keeps it from fitting properly. I suppose you can cut it off but why chance it.
If you have a TyTN you'd probably have a better fit with the 2 piece since all the ones I've tested seem to go with Tytn even though they say they are for the 8525.

The 1 piece does not give as much protection as the 2 piece but the 1 piece is more apt to stay on.

Any one in the ATL area who wants a free TyTn white silicone case PM me. I work just inside 285 @ Glenridge...Oh and you'll get a white neck and wrist strap too if I can find it.

Before all of you waste your money like I did, here is the silicon case that you need for the HTC TyTN, Cingular 8525, etc...

I have already went through all of the silicon cases that you have mentioned. The only thing is, it will take a couple of weeks to get it as it is coming from Hong Kong. It the best one yet. AND allows access to the keyboard and protects the screen.
