Im looking for a case but not sure which one to get. Currently got this, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am...

But i would like a different one as this is a hard case and is scratching the fone slightly. Im after a thin one that does not much bulk to the phone. Anyone reccomend one?

thanks

    If you can't find a specific case for the HTC Desire, look at a case for the Nexus One. Their dimensions are similar and you should find more options for the Nexus than Desire. This is what my brother did.

    I am also looking to buy a cover for the desire. Want one that has an option to be clipped onto a belt or trousers or kept in the pocket without too much bulk, NEEDS to have adequate protection for the screen and need to be able to use the phone (TALK, CHARGE, MOUNT ON CAR CHARGER) without needing to pull it out of the cover.

    There are enough posts online about cracked screens on the nexus 1 alsomanufactued by htc. Apparently capacitative touch screen are fragile and can crack, more so because HTC does not use gorilla glass like in some Motorola models like razr and Droid. The nexus 1 screen costs 250$ to repair from HTC!!!!!

    So in view of that I plan on buying a cover that has adequate screen protection. People have cracked the nexus screen by keeping it in their back pockets.

    Please recommend any covers that suit my requirements if you know of any such covers.

    Towards the top both corners of the phone. Think its down to the cover being a right fit.

    Do you mean the Zagg one.

    That will be the one.

    I can't be doing with the silicon cases, not used anything at all at the moment, and so far no marks!

    orangeaccessories.co.uk/leather_slip_case_medium_black.html?txtsrc=leather this is a good case - I use this with a sock and screen protector (without the sock it slips out) and its done the trick so far - just need a silicone case now!
    Using my phone to post - apologies in advance for any typos

    Have you checked the reviews and about how difficult it is to put on?

    If you sign up on the Zagg website I think they send you a discount code at least they did me..40% but I still didnt get one
