Aluminum Black Metal Case for HTC Desire HD A9191

Con: it significantly reduces the signal strength. I wondered why I never got reception and the signal strength was not as good as my other cheaper phones (Treo 650, Hawei 6600, and my wife's Samsung Galaxy S. I thought the phone had issues with signal strength but I only found out 2 months after the purchase that it was the aluminum case that caused the problem.

When the phone was inside the case, the phone indicated it couldn't connect to the network. When the phone was outside, the indicator on the phone showed 2 or 3 bars.

I tested the phone at my current location and found the below:

with case -73 dBm 19 asu

without case -65 dBm 24 asu

It blocks, not only the power button, but also the curtain with "notifications" and "quick settings" on top of the screen. Try to pull down the curtain with your big fat finger! I have to use my little finger all the time.

I still keep the case though because of the protection is better compared to other cases. I might get a leather case shortly though because I might get to areas where signal strength is an issue.

It is a really durable case. I drop my phone usually twice a week , but this thing keeps my phone protected. After few landings on the concrete the case already has scratches but the phone is like new don't forget about adding screen protector.

The only thing that I don't like about this case: that is slightly blocking the lock button

It is a really great product.
