Default Cases for the TG01

Hello, I thought I'd kick off this subforum by asking what cases people use for their TG01.

The reason is the TG01 (which I don't use for voice) has replaced many of the old functions of my Nokia N800, and as such has also inherited its cloth pouch. Of course, the TG01 is marginally smaller face-on and significantly thinner than the N800, so the pouch, while protective, is far too big.

I've been looking on line and the only cases which seem to be available are of the thick leather sort, or the hard rubber variety. I am looking for something like the case which comes with the HD2, that is, a simple leather sleeve which does not add to the bulk of the phone, doubles up as a screen wipe, doesn't block any of the ports and still allows the TG01 to sit comfortably in its cradle.

I have tried the HD2 case and while the fit is very snug, because the TG01 is a bit too long, it pokes out the top. And there is the psychological barrier of the HTC logo appearing on a case covering a Toshiba device.

Anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps a pouch for the Sony-Ericsson Satio would fit?

I have a black silicone case. And I love it because looks modern and it suits perfectly! Thickness only increases 0,3 mm . If you (as I can imagine) have a film to protect screen and camera, with the silicone case you can carry it on the pocket with no fear of scratching it!

Besides, the silicone rubber touch avoids risk of slipping (and drops)

OK options are limited, these 2 are ok

Hybrid rubber coated ABS shell



And a very protective pouch thats universal



uniea.com and look up Omniverse

Both are available on ebay with some searching, the hybrid case is ok, silicon case probably fits better with a screen protector on, but i expect there is some variation depending on the example you get, and the thickness of your screen protector. This case adds about 4mm thickness to your device.

The Omniverse pouch, the larger one, fits quite well despite its measurements, with the hybrid shell on the phone, it fits in snug lengthways, and the extra width of the pouch gives a little room to have the headphones plugged in while pouch is zipped up, depth is good even though it sounds too big, it fits very well. Its also very well padded, so screen is protected.

Have a look on eBay at item 130359350079. Under £8 for a Black silicone case AND a White silicone case AND a crystal case AND 3 screen protectors.

No connection other than as a satisfied customer.

I have opted for two different cases: the PDAir slim sleeve and also the Piel Frama iMagnum flip case.

Both are excellent for different situations.

If i could, i would, but am not allowed to post links at the moment, unless Admin do something about that, you will have to do a search on ebay for tg01 hybrid. Yes they have different colours, i only chose the yellow picture so you can see clearly what the case looks like! The seller is a bit of a chiseler though, black is more expensive than other colours
