just what i needed, a lovely pocket size case
I used to have a big case that flipped over to cover the screen but was so big in the pocket, this new case not only covers the screen but has a great case to protect the phone not added to much to the phone that stands out in your pcoket.

Not bad
Not a bad, but make shure you place the screen cover nice and square or the plstic cover will lift the screen cover off.

Great stuff
Does the job brilliantly, and looks part of the phone. The screen protector isnt quite cornered right to fit well, for the not too fussy this wont be a problem.
As for service, ordered 5pm got on Saturday morning. How do they do it??

Does what it should...
Fits on easily and is disguised enought that you can't really tell it's a cover for the phone. Friends who have the same phone are now looking at getting one. However, the screen cover does its job but if you don't fit it exactly right when you first put it on, then it'll never look 100%.

Okay, but not great
The cover does a good job of protecting the phone, but unfortunately there finish is poor. There is a ridge of plastic around the edge of the cover where the two halves of the mould obviously joined, and there is a lump of rough plastic where the plastic was injected.
The screen protector was easy enough to fit, the screen works fine with it in place, and you barely notice it, that is until you put the plastic cover on, which caused it to come away from the screen in the top left corner.

nothing more than ok
The product is ok but nothing special.
All it is basically is a one piece cover which fits over the back and about 3mm of the front all the way round.
The screen cover which came with the product did not fit exactly and was slightly too large so did not position very well at all and in fact I had to take it off because it did not adhere very well either.
Would I buy this product again? No.

HTC Desire Black Gel Case
Very pleased with it, fits perfectly and stops it from sliding out of my handbag! I opted for this one after reading bad reviews of the cheaper versions available. This was not expensive and well worth every penny.

Good piece of kit
I originally bought a 'pouch/wallet' type cover for my HTC Desire, but found it a bit of a pain to use. You really have to have some kind of protection for screen and casing, but without making it become too bulky. I have not used the screen protector as I already have one in place.
This cover/skin complements the phone, not only looking nice, but feels nice when held and will, in my opinion, provide a satisfactory degree of protection. The cover is a good fit and has not become loose or slipped off. All the access holes in the cover match the phone prefectly (If you have a desktop charger you may have to remove the cover to attach phone to charge). There are cheaper covers about, but I am pleased with the quality and finish of this one.

Great Case, Bad Cover
I purchased this item for the case rather than the screen protector so I wasn't surprised with the cover coming off relatively quickly. It's not really a problem because you can get 10 screen protectors for £2 on ebay anyway.
The case itself is just what I wanted. Strong, smart looking and good quality.

Now I can relax and enjoy my new phone!
Having just taken delivery of my new HTC Desire, I was scared to take it anywhere before getting a case for it. It's quite a large phone as well, so I didn't want an oversize case with a flap, bulking-out my pocket. I had seen "gel skins" on friends' phones but they seemed so floppy and flimsy. Then I found this item on MobileFun. Great fit and rigid enough to feel like it's an integral part of the phone. All the "holes are in the right place and the supplied screen protector doesn't affect the touch-screen sensitivity at all. Most people wouldn't even guess my phone was wearing a case! A great purchase, and a very friendly price!

Perfect Casing - screen protector poor
I am more than pleased with the casing around the phone, easy to fit and hard wearing. However the screen protector supplied was fiddly to fit, the tag wouldn't come off leaving glue on the screen so the protector was discarded. A spare would have been great!!

HTC Desire Flexishield
I found the screen protector difficult to apply properly. Despite following instructions to the very letter, it peels back at the edges, but is not really a problem since the case itself is a very good fit and makes the Desire feel rugged without being bulky.

Good at what it does but not quite the picture!
Having received my FlexiShield Skin today, I can only echo many of the previous comments:
- Whilst the word "black" appears in the product title, the pictures on the site would have you believe that the skin is some sort of translucent material through which you can see the original phone colour & logo on the reverse: NO - the skin is a matte black reverse with shiny "edges" - not a problem, but it would be nice if pictures would represent the actual product.
- Screen protector: bit of a game to get it placed & without any dust / air-bubbles. That said, it's pretty much the same with any protector. Only attached it today, so can't give any indication as to "loose edges", but it fits screen well & is overlapped, at least on the "long sides" by the Skin. Screen is still just as responsive when the protector is in place.
- Skin is a tight fit, though all the necessary ports & buttons are readily accessible - you wouldn't want to be taking it off & putting it back on regularly though.
All told, it looks like a piece of kit that will do the job nicely :-)

HTC DESIRE Flexishield skin
Souned like it was just what I wanted to cover andprotect my new Desire phone.
But the back section - black soft plastic seems too small and so far despite several attempts, including warming, it has resusted all attempts to fit it - instructions may help?
The front clear cover sheet does not cover the entire screen so is probably made for a differnet model and despite the lifetime guarantee it did scratch extensively while trying to sqeeze out the air bubbles! Also the sticky tabs left adhesive in place that needed a solvent cleaner to remove.
So overall I or the product, or both are a bit of a failure.

Fantastic Value For Money
Absolutely fantastic product for the money. No need to spend any more money, just buy this item. You will not be disappointed. The main cover fitted in one piece and is of excellent and very sturdy construction. Once fitted, it is hard to distinguish from the original case and eliminates the involuntary volume changes and on/off operation. The screen protector was no more problematic to fit than any others and does not detract from the screen's operation. Try to ensure a "dust-free" environment when applying though. One tiny down side and it is a tiny down side. The pressure applied by the case will sometimes lift the screen protector from the phone screen at the edges. Don't let this put you off though. The only other thing to bear in mind is your phone will not fit into a desktop cradle with the case on and having to partly remove it every time is irksome and disturbs the seal between the screen and the protector.

Highly Recommended
Considering the inexpensive nature of this product, it has to be praised for its ease of application and good looks. Hard to tell the cover is on as it is so close to the phone's black colour. The extra protection given to the volume and sleep (on/off) keys is a bonus - No more accidental volume changes! The only slight issue I had was with the screen cover. Despite all efforts to keep the surfaces clean, tiny dust particles lead to some bubbles being left and edges peeling up. However, this is a common issue with these screen protectors and is a tiny imperfection in an otherwise excellent product. Don't be put off by this as, for the money, this product is excellent value for money and is as good as some far more expensive offerings.

Good in parts
The flexishield is not expensive and doesn't look so - but it does its job pretty well. The screen cover is difficult to line up and the corners are easily detached by the flexishield but this can be corrected by trimming it slightly. In sum, does what it says on the box

A really good product. Screen cover easy to apply. Thankfully phone does not freeze like my old blackberry otherwise you would be taking the back piece off all the time and this would be a bit toublesone as its quite hard to stretch round the phone.

Great Quality, Much better than Ebay/Market cheap
Fits the HTC Desire phone snuggly and securely and feels about 50 per cent harder than other cheap silicone cases I've seen, that seem to peel back and feel floppy around the edges of the screen, but not so hard so it does not flex (when off the phone you could twist the case like ringing out a towel and it will spring back to normal shape).
This case feels like it can absorb knocks when you drop the phone and has a slightly raised edge around the screen area to help protect that if you happen to drop it on the floor.
The front half of the case is slightly glossy in look but not slippery at all. The back half has a matt finish to it.
Many friends have commented when seeing my phone that they didn't think it had a case on it until I told them. The included screen protector is invisible once applied and the screen actually feels nicer under the thumb/finger than the original screen did to me. The screen hasn't lost any sensitivity or accuracy with it applied either.
If you had been thinking of getting any old silicone type case for your Desire rather than spend a little more on this, then I would say go for the Advanced Flexishield as I cannot see you needing to replace the case in the life you will have the phone, unlike my friend who has bought cheap ebay/street market silicone cases and had to purchase 3 in the space they have had their phone (less than a year) as the cases they bought had come loose from the body of the phone.

Good value
Ive waited a few weeks before reviewing the skin, but as a business user in the marine industry, its proven to be good value and is doing its job. The screen saver does bubble at the corners, but not a serious issue for me and Ive not found it affects operation of the phone. As commented before, the skin does reduce the sensitivity of the volume and on/off button, which I find useful too. The phone has been bounced around a few fishing boats and is still absolutely fine, so no complaints here.

Great Product
The Flexishield skin fits the Desire perfectly and does not feel loose at all. The volume and power buttons require a bit more force to push, but I find that prevents them from being pressed while in your pocket. The screen protector is very fiddly to get on perfectly, so it took a few attempts to put on. However it is well worth the effort getting it on right as you hardly notice it is there.
Have dropped my phone a couple of times already with no noticeable damage. This case is overall an excellent purchase.

poor quality skin
I purchased this skin after reading some positive reviews over here, however after receiving it I am left disappointed.
The quality of the rubber/plastic that the skin is made out of is very bad.
The back half of it is made out of dark gray rubber that looks and feels cheap. The front half not only does not cover the bottom end of the phone (where the buttons are) but it is also made out the tackiest possible shinny black plastic I have ever seen on a phone protection skin. To top it all the edges of the skin are not cleanly cut and there are bits of plastic sticking out unevenly.
The bundled screen protector is probably the best part of the package as it fits very well and it is easy to install correctly.
Bottom line is that I need a new skin as this one makes a quality, top of the range phone look cheap.

Adv Flexishield HTC Desire
Exactly as described - the product doesn't make the sleek lines of the phone feel different, but it does offer significant protection against dropping etc. No-one I have shown the phone to even realises it has a cover fitted. The screen protector supplied free is a bit fiddly, but does work well if you are very careful when fitting and is effectively invisible. I have just ordered a better one (Martin Fields) which apparently can be re-fitted if necessary (air bubbles etc).

Not like i expected
The case was not transluced but, yet, opaque!the edges in the front part are not like the color of Desire but a glossy black. The back cover is great and it should be like that or like the one showed in the pics. The screen guard is a nightmare. Poor instructions and if you peel one of the protections and the scrren itself touches anything...your done! bubbles all over the cover!

skin good, screen protector not so good
The skin is great and makes the phone easier to handle and gives confidence that the odd knock will be absorbed.
The screen protector was not so successful, difficult to put on as it has to be very accurately placed on the phone face. Any slight misalignment or bubbles will result in the corner lifting and it gradually gets worse. The skin then increases the problem as when it moves in the pocket it gets under the protector, allowing dust to get in. Once this happens, the protector is doomed!

Excellent skin - iffy screen protector
The skin is great - snug fit, pleasant to hold and does an excellent job of protecting the phone from wear and tear, accidental drops etc. Only gripe is that that the hole for the headphone socket is a little small making it very hard to get the headphone jack to go in as far as it should. The screen protector is less good - amazingly un-intuitive instructions that make it sound as though there are three films when there are only two (the thick one is the one you remove and discard) - and after a few weeks use it starts to peel away at the corners. I had to throw it away and bought the excellent Martin Fields screen protector instead

Advanced FlexiShield Skin - clumsy
So I bought it after reading reviews here Here is my opinion First of all it does fit HTC Desire but not as perfectly as I expected It is made tight and of quite durable rubber so protective I suppose However it stretches very little and therefore is difficult to put on and take off Also annoying is that the skin does not align well with the phone shape especially at the corners so it does not feel business aesthetically Next about the protective screen cover I agree with the many reviewers who had problems applying it The pictorial instructions are not clear although it is perhaps not too hard to realise what is meant after some thinking I actually managed to peel off the fist mask tab 1 quite easily while properly sticking the cover to the screen without any bubles The surprise came next though when I tried to remove the upper mask tab 2, as it glued to the cover and pulling by the tab2 would peel the cover itself off the screen! Took a while to find a way to get rid of the upper mask which looked absent even. So some bubles got in..

Advanced FlexiShield Skin - clumsy
Bought it... after reading the reviews. Here is my opinion. It does fit on Desire, with some brute force as it stretches very little and is tight. However it does not align well with the phone shape, especially at the corners. So it does not feel "business" aesthetically. Although it is made of quite durable rubber and should protect the device well. As for the screen cover/protector, I agree with those who said it is hard to apply properly. I did actually manage to peel the inner mask off (with tab1) and stick the protector to the screen without any bubbles. The surprise came next though, as the outer mask glued/stuck to the protector and pulling it with tab2 would not help at all. As a result, the protector got off and had to be re-applied. Took me a while to find way to get rid of the outer mask from it! So some bubbles got & remained under the protector. Overall rating 3, just for "some protection".

Case is good, screen protector useless
The screen protector is very difficult to apply and the instructions provided are miserable, difficult to understand! This leads to a useless screen protector because you should get it right the first time. In many cases screen protectors are sold in 6, 10, or 12 pieces, which gives several chances to apply it well. Here we get only 1. Besides, the screen protector's size and shape are not perfect fit. The case instead is very good. It also solves the problem of HTC Desire turning accidentally the screen on too easily. Now the unintended pressing of the on/off button in pocket happens much fewer times.

Best case I've tried yet.
A nice looking case which, in my opinion, provides the best balance between protecting your Desire from harm, whilst not completely smothering it’s looks. I am not certain why it is referred to in the description as “black” as some people may find this misleading. It is more a translucent smoky effect, which serves to show off the Desire’s original colour scheme well. (See the larger pictures and you’ll see what I mean.) If you want an opaque matt black case, this one is not for you. I also like the fact that the sides of the case overlap the edges of the screen ever so slightly which serves to hold the edges of the included screen protector in place, instead of lift it up like some gel cases do. You may find that it will lift the screen protector when taking the phone in and out of the case, but it’s easily tucked back under afterwards. Screen protector itself is of good quality and applies well leaving no bubbles. Pleased that is also provides a raised rim around the camera lens to improve protection from scratches when lying the phone flat. Again another first rate delivery service from Mobilefun, who have never failed to get an order to me in under 24 hours.

This is a perfect skin for my HTC Desire. One has to take a very close look to notice it.
It gives a better grip holding the phone. All ports and buttons are perfectly accessible.
The screen protector is super as well, it makes the touch screen that tidy bit less sensible, which is great in my opinion.

Fits like a glove
Bought two of these skins for me and a mate. They fit well and give you a sense of security that you won't drop the handset. All functions including volume and power are easily accessible and the skin prevents you accidentally changing call volume mid call - this happened to me quite regularly before I had the skin.
My only criticism is that colours vary quite a lot - both were the black version but one was dark black opaque, the other a more transparent greyish colour. Hence the four stars.

Advanced FlexiShield Skin For The HTC Desire - Bri
I don't usually spend the time writing reviews like this but... I love this skin! I previously had a Samsung Omnia and the silicone skin I used for that was cheap and cheerful but did the job. However, it felt 'sticky' when trying to get it out from a pocket, especially in a hurry. It attracted fluff too.
This FlexiShield for the Desire is nothing like that. Loads better, unobtrusive and blends in with the look of the phone. It is flexible but not so flexible to be cheap.
Slides in and out of pockets or tight spaces easily. No buttons are obstructed or covered, other than the volume buttons on the side. The cover is slightly thinner there (by design) so not a problem.
The whole phone, other than the screen and buttons at the bottom are protected. The screen protector that came with this product is of good quality and easy to put on. It does not have any affect on the screen sensitivity at all.
If in doubt, don't be. Ok, so its a little more expensive than some others that are our there but for the sake of a little over a tenner - give it a go. Believe me when I say that anything I buy online is usually after a lot of research. I had a choice of three skins I was considering. This one wins hands down.
GO FOR IT!

Good product
Protects the phone well, the screen protector is not that great as it seems not to stick properly down one edge. Will need to buy another screen protector soon but for now all is good

great service, good product
Freakily fast service (over night for standard 1st class post delivery) and the product does what it says on the tin. As always, getting a bubble-free seal between the screen protector and the screen and avoiding static charged dust can be a challenge and hard to perfectly right. The case is thin and light and "grippy"
Overall a really good deal.

fiddly but great
My sausage fingers mean I'm not especially dextrous but once applied it does a great job and I worry far less about the lovely screen on the Desire

Flexi skin and HTC case
Well happy. Easy to fit, snug and protective. This also adds a little weight to what is a somewhat delicate phone and makes it more comfortable to hold. Good product at a reasonable price..

FlexiShield Skin is great; screen protector not so
I was very happy that the item was shipped to me promptly. I started by applying the screen protector, following the application instructions carefully. I used the enclosed screen wiper to make sure there was no dust on the screen; carefully removed the top edge of the backing panel, aligning it to the top edge of the screen; I pressed the sticky-side down and slowly removed the remainder of the backing panel, all the while using the enclosed card to keep the thing flat and without air bubbles. It was all going great -- but SOMEHOW I still got an entire edge of air bubbles. This did not affect the functionality of the phone, but was annoying to look at and drove me crazy. So I ended up going to ebay and ordering some more screen protectors to try.
That said, the phone protector is awesome. Nice form factor, good feel, I've already dropped my phone once... easy installation and removal... a lot better than purely hard cases or those thick rubbery ones that cover up the home, menu, back and search buttons. I give this 4 stars just for the awesome phone protector!

Flexishield skin win!
I was slightly apprehensive about the screen guard after reading reviews of people who had had issues with bubbles, but I had no problems at all. Easy to peel off and the supplied cardboard "scraper" meant the couple of bubbles I did get were quickly and easily pushed out.
The cover is great, fits perfectly and, as noted in other reviews, is great for adding some protection to the volume buttons to prevent accidental use.
Overall, really impressed. I have this phone on a two year contract so I am sure it will pick up some scratches, if it does and I need to replace I will definitely replace with another of these.

I was really impressed with the flexishield skin. It made the phone a lot easier to handle, and provided much needed grip. Durable, and piece of cake to snap on. Great stuff.

Flexishield great, screen protector could be bette
The silicon skin is great, easily fitted and does what it says on the tin. The screen protector is OK, bit of a fiddle to fit and slightly too large for the screen which means it overlaps the screen edge and causes bubbling.. Might take a sharp blade to it and make it a bit smaller which will probably stop the edge bubbling up.

Strong Skin - gives a feel of security
A bit tight to fit at first - but gradually becomes easier to fit - I have to remove it when using a docking station to charge up. Otherwise, really great - gives a good feeling of security for the product should it be dropped - haven't tested how it copes with that though! But definitely protects the body from scratches etc.

Good quality skin, good product
Well having just bought a new desire it made sense to protect it. After taking some time to fit the screen protector, the skin itself just slips over the desire case, leaving the front face button and optical trackball exposed, openings for the camera lens and the speakers and think plastic covering the volume controls and power button. A good product.

Advanced Flexishield Skin For HTC Desire- Black
The skin covers the back and sides of the HTC desire handset. It fits well but is flexible enough to put on and remove if you need to take the back off for any reason. There is a small cut out to allow unobstructed access to the headphone socket and the micro usb connection socket. The material provides more of a non slip surface, which hopefully will reduce the chances of it sliping out of your hands.

HTC Desire Advanced FlexiShield Skin - The Muts Nu
Skin fits like er...well second skin.
All the right cut-outs in all the right places. Give a good grip as the back in slightly textured.
I recently dropped the phone from waist height onto tarmac - no cosmetic damage, not even to the case!
Screen protector great too. Crisp and clear with good fit and can be rinsed with warm water if you get fluff on in when fitting.
Well worth the money inc the screen protector.
Great Product - Awesome Customer Service!

Fantastic product and fast delivery
Case fits snugly without adding significant bulk a feels solid in the hand. Yet to test its protective powers, but it seems robust. Screen protector is easy to apply. I cleaned screen thoroughly with supplied cloth beforehand and followed the instructions. It worked perfectly, with only a few bubbles around the edge which easily squeezed out. This was exactly what I wanted.

An excellent case!
The Flexishield skin is a tight fitting hard gel shell that you know is going to protect your Desire from a fall anywhere other than a direct hit to the screen. I've since changed to a silicone skin that covers more of my Desire as my concern is more from dusty pockets than high impact. If you're likely yo drop your phone then this is highly recommended.

Good easy to use kit to protect the Desire
Kit contains both a flexible "skin" which protects the back / sides of the phone and a screen protector. The screen protector was easy to apply and seems to have no detrimental effect on the use of the touchscreen. The skin is a good snug fit round the phone and gives a really nice grippy surface and stops any nuisance scratches. All of the buttons and ports where still readily accessible after fitting the case. All in all I was very pleased.

very good case
Very good case. I was worried it would be a bit silicone like which makes it a bit difficult getting the phone in an out of skinny jeans (and the desire is a bit of a tight squeeze as it is!). But its a smooth cover.
Its a bit of a tight fit to get it in, but this is good as it means its a good fit on the phone, and there is no chance of it falling off. It makes the power button harder to push, but this also is a good thing as it was a bit too easy to push before.
Like someone else has said, the edge of the case catches on the screen protector. In all fairness though you dont need the screen protector, its a nice bonus but i went a year with a Hero throwing it about and didnt manage to scratch the screen. So i wont be using it.
I'd have given it 5 stars but for two admittedly tiny things 1. The edge of the case has a line from the moulding. i took a razor to it just to smooth it out a bit. 2. At the top on the front where there is the cutout for the speaker it doesnt quite line up with the lines of the phone, we are taling a matter of 0.5mm, but it would have been nice if it lined up with the lines of the phone a bit better.
All in all however i would highly recommend this case. Its hard finding a nice simple case that protects adequately and this fits the bill. Oh and the price is pretty awesome too.

Should have gotten this as soon as I got my HTC Desire. Snaps on and just stays there. Much better grip on the phone now and I'm a lot less worried about it. Perfect!

Great protection, great service
The Flexishield cover is excellent protection for the HTC desire. It fits perfectly and makes the phone only slightly larger than it is without the shield. The screen cover is a bit fiddly to put on but once it's in place it works really well - no trouble with the touch screen.
All in all, well worth the money.

Does what it says on the tin
The silicon case (it's grey, not black) works well and is easy to fit. It's secure, but still allows easy access to all the buttons.
The screen shield is the 'sticker-type' that is very common. I'd never fitted one before and the instructions make it far more complicated than it needs to be - just stick it on like a plaster.
Three minor niggles -
1. It's easy to mis-align the screen shield so is doesn't fit perfectly, and removing a realigning makes the adhesive a bit less sticky. The answer of course, is carefully align it in the first place!
2. Where the silicon case wraps around towards the screen, it's such a fantastically snug fit, it sometimes can push against the screen shield and lift it. I'm forever pushing down the corners of the screen to smooth out the resulting air bubble.
3. Unsurprisingly, the case adds to the size of the phone. This is negligible (about a mm or two), but you use a car cradle you may have to take the case off for it to fit. Thankfully, it's easy to put back on.
Still a great set for a great price, though, and I'm more than happy with my purchase.

Good kit
The skin is very good, tough, fits well and all controls are either accessible or work through the skin, can shove the droid on your pocket without a care, only issue, the edge of the flexishield lifts the edge of the adhesive screen protector, I'll live with it though.

Great screen-protector. Fits exactly and easy to install (NO BUBBLES). The skin is quite tough and doesn't get in the way but is a bit stiff so needs a bit of force to put on. Otherwise a good buy.

Good
Got this for my Desire with the screen protector. Both are easy to fit,but the screen protector is very slightly to big and the hole in the case for the screen is slightly to small meaning that they meet and the screen protector gets dislodged. So I made the hole for the screen slightly bigger with my dremal,and got martin fields screen protector and hay presto they are excellent now and I am VERY VERY PLEASE. The case give some protection if you drop it and does not make it to chunky to hold or put in your pocket

Real Value for Money
The skin itself is a perfect fit on the Desire. Once fitted it gives a nice robust feel without interfering with the controls of the phone in any way. Combined with the included screen protector it provides an excellent solution for taking care of your Desire.

Just the job
the skin is ideal easy to fit and remove, had no problems fitting, has the added advantage that it prevents accidental volume changes on the HTC desire and makes it easer to hold. The screen protector was applied with ease and works well, this also has the added advantage make the screen clearer in bright sun so win win. the down side the phone wont fit in the car holder with the skin fitted not much of a problem as only required when I want to use the sat nav app. all round a good buy

Good case
I also purchased and applied the Invisible Shield protector and have applied the flexi-skin over the top of it (double-protection!). The flexi-skin is easy to fit and protects the phone very well. The buttons (volume/power) are a little harder to press but that's no bad thing in my opinion. There is a screen protector included but I didn't need it (due to the invisible shield). Can't really fault the flexi-skin (or mobilefun's service) :)

Flexishield Skin
I had some delivery issues since they made a faulty package but they resolved the problem and gave me an extra screen protector.
I live in the Netherlands wich makes delivery hard but this was fine.
The skin is amazing. It holds great, feels good and the screen protector is nice.

Case good - screen protector useless
The gel case fits neatly and just has to protect the phone. The cut outs are well aligned and the case feels 'grippy' in the hand. It makes the volume control much harder to press in error which I was forever doing. The screen protector is a nice theory but impossible to attach without loads of bubbles. It also has a slightly tacky texture which makes screen control harder. The dirt sticks permanently and one's screen will never look clean again. The incomprehensible instructions may have misled me - but who cares, the 'protector' went in the bin. Not sure how useful it is to be protecting the case but not the screen so may well go back to a sensible slip case.

skin spoilt by protector
Hi,I am a first timer here, got this today delivery very fast, skin is exellent good fit looks great, let down by screen protector. Followed instuctions to the letter but still got a bubble at the bottom tried always to remove, eventually tried peeling and wiping spot again with the cloth, Big mistake. you only get 1 chance with this as the cloth left drag marks on protector which can not be removed even tried removing and washing but could not get dried without marks due to the adhesive used,
this is a shame as the rest of the protector looked great, very clear, be very wary and do not touch the adhesive side with anything as it will be left marked.I do photography as a hobby so I am used to cleaning lenses etc but up to now cannot find anything to remove these marks.

Advanced FlexiShield Skin For The HTC Desire - Bla
Yup, a very good product. A little tricky to get on but now I have done it once, I can take it on and off very easily. It fits well and all the necessary apertures are in the right place. The only thing that stops me giving this 5 stars is the screen protector that comes with it. There is a sticky tab that makes it easier to peel the backing of which it does, however, when you try to peel the tab off it leaves a very stubborn residue which needed nail varnish remover to get off!
Otherwise, a very good product.

AWESOME
Ordered the case one afternoon and it came the next morning.
Fits tightly to ensure no dust is trapped behind it but is still easy to take on and off.
Feels sturdier and safer to hold than without the case and will definitely stop scratches and absorb some shock.
Frosted look but still allows for HTC logo to be seen and fits around charging port, headphone slot etc perfectly. Volume controls and lock/unlock need slightly harder presses, but only slightly.
One screen protector included which, if applied correctly, works great. Full instructions on how to apply as well as cloth and soft card included. (Screen protector caused a LOT of dust to be attracted once applied, due to static, but this was lost after a few minutes)
Only downside is the obvious added bulkiness that it gives, which is to be expected, but this is minimal for the protection it gives and does make the device seem sturdier and less likely to be destroyed within the first few months of use!
Would recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to the classic plastic cases that are widely available!

Was sceptical, but I am impressed so far
I searched online and read many reviews on mobile skins. Flexishield seemed to have the best reviews so I went for it in the end. I decided to go for the advanced version which included the screen protector despite one person\'s negative feedback of it.
The skin itself is very easy to put on. It feel goods. It makes the phone feel a little bigger in a good way because I was always worried about dropping it as I took it out of my pocket because it was slippery and thin. The issue of the nexus one skin etc has been resolved. This skin is purely for the Desire and fits perfectly. It doesn\'t obscure the proximity sensor.
The skin I was very dubious about. I couldn\'t find any mention of the brand on google and so I didn\'t hold out much hope. It is however, so far, excellent. It was easy to put on. It does not affect the sensitivity of the screen at all. It does have a slightly different feel to it - a little more resistance which actually makes holding and typing on the phone easier. The power button is a little harder to push now but you\'ll get used to it and thank goodness those poorly placed volume controls on the side won\'t be so easy to press accidently anymore!
The only slight issue I\'ve had so far is that I think I put the protector on straight, but it may have been slightly misaligned. At the top corner the skin pushes against the protector, lifting it up slightly and causing a bubble. It\'s easy to press down again but a bit annoying, so make sure it goes on straight and it should be fine.

Nice
Nice case. Semi transparent and fits very well. I bought a silicon case off the market before this and it made it feel bulky. This skin feels sturdy and doesn't feel anywhere near as bulky. Very pleased. Using the usb charging cradle (£15) if you press down on the device it charges but not otherwise even though it has space for a skin in the dock, it doesn't work with the charging cradle.

Partial waste of money
The screen protector included in this package is from screate.. You get only one protector and you'd better get it right the first time (which isn't going to happen, if this is your first time).. So save your money, and buy this silicon cover separately
