Finally recieved my Noreve case

[audiobookman]

They threw in the metal clip as it took them an age to get it to me (nearly 4 weeks late) but well worth the wait.
total cost was 55€ delivered, some may say that this is very expensive, but from experiance noreve make the best cases and stand by them.
example was my old archos 5 case broke after two years usage, i contacted them via email and they sent me a replacement no questions asked.

The quality of this case is second to none, it will protect my beloved desire hd for many years if needs must.
the only bugbear is the usb port is inaccessable with the case closed, but this isnt really an issue.
also the case will now STAND up lol

Looks nice for a leather flip case, which I don't particularly like to use myself. Seems very good quality.

Is that metal clip going to scratch your camera lens surround though, Roy?

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

 

[audiobookman]

just checked and nope it dosent touch the lens or the bezel, it will touch above the bezel if forced due to the length the lens is recessed in the case slightly so it isnt an issue. the are no sharp edges on the clip anyways.

Thanks for the pics and review.

May I ask the vibration strength, I men can you easily feel the ring vibration in your pocket while the phone in this case?

nice question i just tested it, in my jacket pocket - no feeling, in jeans felt the vibrations but not as strong, on the belt clip i could feel it when it touched me, but when not no feelings of the vibration.

This case is for the

HTC desire HD or ace, for some reason a moderator has decided to move it to the wrong forum now

 

[eozen81]

Why the hell are lots of topis are moved?

 

[maxseemo]

lol yeah maybe the moderator got drunk and logged on had a bit of fun!


That's a nice case. Looks good for the business type that has a stylish table.
It is a little on the expensive side, but looks durable.

This is a desire HD case not a desire z or g2, it doesn't belong here

i thought i would update this thread.
ive been using this case for over a week now, so far ive dropped my phone twice onto concrete sufaces - both times my heart missed a beat - but my phone came though without a scratch.
ive also managed to throw a cuppa coffee over the phone whilst in its case, i had to take it out quickly and dry it - but without the case it woudl have been dreached, it got a slight splashing and the case needed to be dryed.

To the contary of my earlier statment, ive been having my phone clipped to my breast pocket of my coat and every time its been on vibrate ive felt it though my coat so it dosnt drown out the vibrations to unusable levels even though the belt clip.

Most of all the case is beautiful, ive had lots of people now ask about the case as its so well made.

if i was to change anything it would be a hole for usb slot, and the clip, i would perferre an magentic or button clip, the current fastern uses the top of the phone to clip over, although it hasnt opened it would give me more piece of mind if it has a independant fastener.

Thanks for the excellent review of this case. I've been looking for a while now and couldn't make my mind up until now. I'll be ordering this one.

ouch that is bad!!, mine took a while - i orded mine at the begininng of november when i knew i was getting the dhd.

that is also the reason why i got to them directly, a couple of years back i had a 2 year old case break, i wrote to them telling them the problem (not actually expecting anything as it was so old by then) and they said no problems your new ones in the post.
The other thing i you can get on to them and in my case (excuse the pun) the sent me a free stainless steel belt clip because of the delay.
keep me posted when it arrives!!

i've received mine 2 weeks ago and it's just perfect. Way way better designed than the case of Proporta. My only negative parts are:
- screw of the back which prevents my DHD laying flat on the table;
- usb port is not good accesible for the usb cable 'cause of the edge of the case

For the rest it's a perfect case!

 

[Barrettcore]

Wow, that's really nice. not usually a fan of leather cases, though that just lloks great.

 

[ankhazam]

Truly epic case... Perfect Quality and a really decent quality/price

 

[ankhazam]

What about GPS reception in this case?

 

[pittas]

Sorry but this case looks like s%^t
On top of that 55 euros ?
No thank you

I've bought quite a few Noreve cases for various handsets, gone off them now and find hard cases like the Case mate Tough case are more durable than leather and makes the phone feel better in your hand rather than constantly having to flip the screen cover over to use the phone on the Noreve.

 

[KidsJH]

I guess if that is what you're going for then that's ok.

Seems a bit bulky to me, and protects the phone a little too much. Especially with the screen protection, when you don't really need one for the DHD...

just an update,

after 7 months of ownership my case has developed a problem, the clip that holds the flap closed the leather has seperated leaving a metal piece of sheet metal.
I contacted noreve to see if it can be repaired, they only asked for some pictures and then sent a brand new case!! - for the mean time im supergluing the leather back so my dhd stay protected.

Now thats been 7months of hard useage, there has been no tearing, the leather has aged well but it has worn on the clip which is a shame. But then again i doubt any of the cheap cases on fleabay would have lasted half as long with me - i work in heavy industry so the case gets covered [email protected] then for weekends relaxment we spend half the time at themeparks where the case gets wet and battered about constantly.

payed a premuim price for the case and have recieved a premium service.
I must take my hat of to this company, they responded within hours even at the weekend and deliver on thier promises.
now looking forward to my brand new case to arrive
