Thinking about giving it a try..trouble is I'm in the UK and it's a bit of a risk if it's no good.

My mate has an iPhone and he has one of these:

Which is just brilliant..why can't we have something similar for the HD?

At a guess....

The iPhone form factor isn't going to change for quite a while, so a manufacturer can tool up for a product, knowing he's going to have years of market. BUT the HTC phones are updated every few months (it seems like), always with slightly different shapes/holes/buttons, so anyone tooling up to make a decent case is going to be out of pocket pretty damn rapidly.

That's why the vast majority of cases are made in China - tooling and manufacturing is far cheaper there.

And yet a year after releasing the first model, they released the iPhone 3G which was a different shape...
And there's increasing rumours of a new model being released this year, quite possibly an 'iPhone Nano', which would be a different size again.


The simple fact of the matter is that iPhone accessories are a bigger market than HTC accessories, plus Apple customers are used to paying through the nose for accessories, so companies can get away with charging more.

They spelled ''couture'' wrong though. Suspecious.
