PDair Aluminium Case For HTC TyTN - Black

The case itself is excellent: tough and rigid, well designed, good cushioning, strong belt clip and connector. Howerver, the catch that keeps it closed is awful. It is so easy while wearing it on the belt to accidentally brush the clip with your arm and open it. The phone will then simply drop out onto whatever you're standing on (fluffy cushions or hard tiles and anything in between). Once was an accident that could happen to any case. Twice was worrying. three times and I stopped using it as a belt case.

I have been using these cases for 18 months (I had a case like this for my Mini S) and as the first reviewer says, the catch makes it unsuitable for wearing as a belt clip, but then I mainly used them for having it in a pocket with keys or when dropping it walking down a road (both of which I did alarmingly regularly). However, when I caught a post on the phone in its case, it managed to bend the case into the phone and crack the screen. If your phone is going to get knocked, this is a great device that lets you see the screen without taking it out of the protective case and not worry so much about the screen getting scratched. It is also light and not too bulky, so it is not a pain to use. Overall it is a good compromise between the major functions you would want from a case, but it is not infallible.
