Default Looking for the thinnest pouch possible (HD2 reference images attached)

I'm still looking for a good pouch for my Desire... My biggest requirement is that the pouch should not add much to the thickness - what's the benefit of this nice 11mm profile otherwise?

The pouch I used on my HD2 was made of very thin leather, which I got from some East Asian seller on eBay as part of these all-in-wonder low quality charger/silicon-case/cradle/what-not packages for 20€. But the pouch turned out to be very nice quality and as you can see from the attached images - super thin and soft leather. Also the suede inside of the pouch cleaned the screen quite well.

Is there anything like that for the Desire?

I use a Belkin parallel case that I had for my Iphone. It doesn't add a lot of thickness. I'm in Australia and got it from a Telstra shop and find that it does the job very nicely.

I have it, it's /very/ thin, I expected it to be much larger but it does the job, is official, and is really thin

Ahha, so you're saying it's thin and made of soft leather? Sounds exactly like what I'm looking for! Is it really black? I read some random buyer review of the HD2 version of the pouch that said it's actually brownish.

EDIT: According to some web sites, this pouch is compatible with both the Desire and the HD2?? How can this be possible - I'm currently using my old HD2 leather pouch and while it fit the HD2 perfectly, it's too big for the Desire...Yes, it was tight in the beginning, and over time it stretched with the HD2 being inside. But doesn't this might mean that the S510 may become too loose for the Desire at some point?

Yeah it's black and made of soft leather.


I think they just made the same model twice with 2 differents size and rebranded it the same

Honestly, for the price... it's great
