I bought this on amazon for a tenner and had it delivered yesterday. even though it was advertised as a pouch specifically for the DHD, it doesnt quite work. for size its fine, but at the bottom theres a strap of leather which covers up the headphone and micro-usb socket. so if you're planning on using the DHD regularly to listen to music, you've been warned!

Can't you put your phone in with the power button side going in first?
i bought this case as well, and i think it is fantastic, if you need to charge or listen to music, just put it in the other way!
the only warning is how excellent the quality is for a tenner!
yeah i can, but i'm pretty sure i'd read either on amazon or HTCs accessory site that you can access the power button and headphone sockets through the case. nothing about one or the other! besides its just easier to have it inserted the 'right way' round as you can pull the phone out just a bit and turn it on to check the time, notification bar, etc. and even upside down you still cant hit the power button from the bottom of the case.
you're right though, it is a workaround, i was just a little disappointed as all they needed to do was put two smaller leather strips at the bottom instead of one big one blocking the sockets.

from being on this forum and seeing how ridiculously picky the people are here, they would have then complained it wasnt holding the bottom of the phone strongly enough and it would fall out!
lol! i dont think i'm being that picky though, am i? its like buying a tshirt with no sleeves. sure you can get it on, but it kinda defeats the purpose!
its just, when i look around the forum, there seems to be some really silly things that have been made into mountains from molehills:
slight gaps above screen that you can barely see
slight gaps with the sim cover
people being too rough and breaking their sim cover
people want more led colours
etc etc
to be fair that sim card cover is flimsy cheap crap, and i dont want a flimsy cheap piece of crap attached to my £500 phone. if i wanted that i would have got a galaxy s.
but back on topic, why do you need access to the power buttom when its in the case anyway? and why can you not reach around the strap to touch the power button?

By the way one question
This pouch has a sleeve that is used to take out the DHD from the pouch it self.
When you put or take the pouch from your pants pocket, does the sleeve comes out accidentally ?

this "sleeve" you refer to is just a piece of ribbon attached to the pouch which the phone rides on when you putt the ribbon and takes the phone out the case. No, it doesnt get pulled accidently when you take it our of your pocket
nope. however if you want to be really really critical i would say the ribbon is around 1/4 inch too long and dangles loose when the phone is fully inserted. its one of those tiny things i notice but by no means a deal breaker.
the strap at the bottom is too big and you cant see the power button at all, but thats not really going to help me. what i meant to say was, when i want to check the time for example, i dont want to pull the phone completely out of the case. so instead i can pull the ribbon, press the powerbutton, and check the time (along with checking for messages, missed calls, etc). but theres no way of doing that without taking the phone out completely if it is inserted upside down.
now, after writing all that i can see myself how ridiculously fussy i'm being! i do like the case, it does the job just fine and i dont feel the need to return it. (although i might try and drill a hole through the leather strap to slot in my headphones
)Any decent cobbler's / leatherworker's will have a drive punch which will make a much better job of modding your case. Offer them a couple of $localcurrency for the trouble, I'm sure you'll be happy with the result
