And so with release so close, dimensions already available, and no apparent case provided with the unit, I was wondering what everyone's intentions were in regards to protection, and carrying your shiny new i760? I think I would prefer a sideways slipper like I use with my Q and Treo 700W...

I put my i730 in my pocket... If there was a very slim skin type case that wasnt fugly I'd spring for it. I hate belt clip ones.

My preference is something to cover the face of the device only.

For my 730 I pulled the belt clip off the supplied case and sanded it down.

I want that form factor but maybe in bushed steel...

I use Rhino-skin

I want an i730 style holster (without the random call answering of course).... You really can't get any better than that.

my i730 belt clip broke off fairly quickly so i have been just putting it in my pocket for the last 2 years. never really found a case that i liked and had other things to spend the money on. i will probably do the same thing when i get around to the 760 since it appears to be more pocket friendly.

I want something that will hold at least 1 (preferrably 2) microSD/transflash cards so I can keep some spares with me at all times.

I really like Bellagio Cases. A little pricey, but excellent quality. I've had one for my P.O.S. XV6600 for over 2 years and the case still looks brand new. I imagine they'll have one for the i760 soon.

I will probably just pocket it as well.

I just don't any case form factor with the exception of the sideways pouch working well at all with the horizontal sliding keyboard.

Usually someone comes out with a case like the metal one I had with my original i730. Although it provided great protection, opening that front door to use the touch screen and slider was simply annoying.

I really liked my Vaja case for my Treo 700, but even it became very bulky after a while.

I'm still not 100% convinced that they would not include some sort of holster for this device. We've seen a few inaccuracies and omissions already so I'm hoping that is the case (no pun intended!).

I actually liked the 730 holster quite a bit. As a previous poster mentioned, the biggest downside was the unintended button presses but otherwise I liked it. After 2+ years mine finally broke but I had an extra from a phone I sent back so I was able to use that.

Hopefully there will be a holster! If not, it's time for the search . . .

Maybe something like this but for the i760?

The HTC version appears to have 3 card slots in the flap.


I think the buttons being on the sides instead of on the front would make the holster a much better solution for the i760 than it was for the 730.

My problem with the holster was that I move in and out of closed spaces alot and i was catching the phone on the corner or edge of something and it would pop out of the holster. At least with the horizontal pouch, if it flys off it probably stays in the pouch.
