The case that comes with the K-Jam isnt as small as it could be so I would like to get a case that is a little more form fitting.
Has anyone looked at the leather case that pdair.com has for the k-Jam/wizard? I cant tell how it attaches to the K-Jam but I think its got a clear plastic sheet that fits in between the screen and keyboard and covers the keyboard. That is why I am reluctant to buy case. I had something like that for my PDA2K and I didnt like the plastic sheet in between keyboard and screen. It seemed that the screen would not slide so easily before using the case and afterwards the screen seemed to be loose and slide to easily. I dont want to mess up the tight feel of the screen / keyboard on this one.
If you know anything about this case or any other please post a response.

I am thinking of getting one of the cases on theis page: www.krusell.se. I like the Horizontic style. The cases are shown under the ETEN m500 size but the m500 and K-Jam are about the same size.
The Krusell cases are well made and fit well, but they are not smaller than the stock cases.
Look http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2089&category=16 or http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2128&category=42 although the pdair and piel frama are the only ones that allow you to use the keyboard whilst in the case. I have the pdair.com one and it fits my needs (I am able to use the keybaord quite effectively with the plastic cover (it doesn't cover all of it); I have had the plastic 'crumple' a few times but this minor problem is more than outweighed by the benefits.
these flip cases look quite good

I got the Proporta Alu leather case and it is very nice and allows keyboard usage.

It looks almost identical to the PDAir one. Nice aluminium insert which works with their magnetic car holder. Since when did aluminium react to magnetism??? (I know the probably have a thin magnet insert btw)
Hello,
These cases are also compatible with HTC Wizard:

Do you have the book style (landscape-opening) or the flip style (portrait opening) model?
You don't find any problem with opening and closing the keyboard, with that plastic insert?
I've had the PDAir leather case (flip format -- hinge on the bottom) for several weeks now -- it works pretty well for the most part. It's a bit tricky putting the Wizard in the case; the plastic bit that fits between the keyboard & LCD has a Velcro bit on the end that's a bit thick for the space provided. Said Velcro piece attaches to the case via a tab that folds up over the right side, between the camera button & IR port -- unfortunately it covers the reset hole.
The case is a bit loose-fitting, which probably can't be fixed without sacrificing the ability to deploy the keyboard; AFAIK, it's the only case that lets you use the keyboard without removing the Wizard from the case. It's not as good as the Krusell I used with my BlueAngel, but it's good enough.

Anyone have any leads on sources of cases to fit the Wizard? The one that comes with the K-Jam look decent of first view, but since I'll probably want something nicer I figured I would get this thread started.

Well, an update on this, I picked up a Targus Small Camera case Model DCCS00 and while it is a bit loose front to back it fits nicely side to side. A bit bulky but functional and It is easy to insert/remove the device. Also it securely attaches to my belt so I don't have to worry about scraping it off on my office chair. It'll do until someone releases a 'made for' case.

any news with more cases to buy for the k-jam??
anyone?
I ordered and got this case for my wizard after it was recommended on another board. The guy said he found it at a mall in NY at a mobile phone accessory cart. I like it a lot. Fits perfect. The belt clip (although it isnt visible) has a built in swivel so you can wear it vertical / horizontal / or on an angle. I wear it at an angle and its so easy to place in pouch and pull out. I can also charge with the wizard in the case becuase it has a small opening in the bottom.

I just ordered an OEM blackberry 71xx slip case belt clip and Tre 6xx slip case from ebay.

I like to concept of slip case rather than attaching something on my belt.

Review: PDair booktype leather case
I did a review of the PDair booktype leather case here:
http://www.onppc.com/forum/article_read.asp?id=12
Cheers, Sabesh.
I wonder if the flip type PDAir case uses the same technique to keep the k-jam in place.
I prefer the not so bulky cases. using the case that came with Treo 600 atm and it fits perfectly. slightly tight but it fits in my jacket pocket a lot better than any other cases that I've tried.
I have decided to give BB 71xx pouch a try. I had to stretch it a bit in order to get my qtek a nice fitting.
http://natt108.net/qtek/
I am also in a process of streching my treo 600 slip case with a pair of socks and will post some pictures tonight when I get home.
Does anyone have an IPOd 2/3rd Gen slip case? Can you please try and see if it'll fits nicely with your Wizard?
Blackberry 71xx case
Just taken delivery of this case:
http://www.yourwirelesssource.com/shop/5/model/235388/accessory/245843/cat/31
(though from a uk supplier)
Fits nice and snug, and the slightly extra height of the case (about 5mm) can allow you to attach the handsfree kit to the bottom of the phone, son can be used without removing from the case (the voice dial button is also accessible, as is the power button).
A slight negative is that the sides/top corner still have the potential to be damaged on dropping, but I guess most type of slip cases leave some parts exposed.

For those using the WIZA100 variant of the Wizard...

Got this case this AM. It is for the dopod 838 or VPA Compact II. So far so good my only gripe is that the case doesn't allow access to the messaging and ie buttons [when closed] and it is kinda slippery [maybe use it in tandem with a neck strap or handstrap]

They have one for the WIZA200 models as well

Hi guys
Just received my ali PDair case - ordered Thurs night arrived this morning, outstanding service!! A great case too!!
Simon
I heard something about Aluminium cases and low gsm signal..
Are you having that kind of experience on your ppc ;
I currently have the Htc Wizard/ qtek 9100 and i am looking for a case.
Probably i'll go for the leather one.
no signal problems for me so far been using it for almost a week now... of course signal strength is also determined by your network coverage as well not only your device
Hi
Just checked on the signal stregth, one room in my house has a very weak GSM signal for Vodaphone and when using the PDair case it drops by 1 bar.
Must be shielding
Simon
Plastic screen cover
Does the aluminum case by PDair have a plastic screen cover to protect the screen like the Armor Case by Boxwave (www.boxwave.com)?
yep they have hard plastic screen
PDAir Case
Sabesh mentioned velcro in his review of the PDAir case. Does that mean there is some 'sticky pad attachment' to be done. The case says it closes with magnets, so I can't figure out where the velcro comes in unless it's to secure the handset. if that means sticking something on to the handset then I'm not so keen. i need to be able to get the handset out easily to fit in my car kit.
TIA, Davebo.
Just wanted to share with everyone.
I've had the Krusell Handit Multidapt® Case for a week now.
http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=1816&category=16
I have tried about 3-4 cases (through the company supplier ) and I have been disappointed as many times, as they are usually bulky, hard to take off, too big, or plain and simple unusable!
This case is beautiful:
* Easy to put on and take off
* Very light and not bulky at all
* Unit is actually usable when in case
It's around 50$AU from expansys.com.au and I would highly recommend it.
Wow, that one is NICE! I wonder if I can get it in the US some how....
Edit:
Found it and ordered it!
Direct Link
I uses piel frama it is the same but a little bit more slim .
I thought the Krussell was a little bulky also. The case from Sena allows the device to be cradled.
http://www.senacases.com/cart/home.php?cat=339
I bought that case off eBay about a year ago for my SX66 -- IIRC, I paid less than $25 for it. It's held up very well over the months.
Is there clear plastic over the keyboard?
Yes, there is clear plastic over the keyboard.
i have been using this case since day 1.
I am using Krusell Multidapt leather case. It prevents you from flip opening the front cover while calling. It is a good case.
Can it prevent the edge or side of my sx66 from scratching?

For me the best case that i found is the Brando Leather Case it protects all around the Qtek XDA IIs and i can use the keyboard and with it closed i can accept incomin calls !!
See it at http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwxdaIIsleatherhardcase.php
Bought it At Ebay !!
how is the piel frama case designed?
must it go between the gap of the monitor and the keyboard?
if it is so designed, will it not make the screen slider loose? anyone?
did anyone used a vertical wallet case type before? does it fits the phone good? like the one in http://www.krusell.se/productUni.php?productID=1756&category=33
I am confused, which case to get for my xda2s.
Hi I currently have the Krusell Cabriolet for my 8125, which makes using it like a phone very simple. However, pushing it out to use the keyboard without opening a bunch of progams because I pushed buttons in the process makes this a little suboptimal. I don't like the book cases or flip cases because I want my screen uncovered for my own convenience (I have screen protector film and I'm satisfied with that level of protection).
After doing some research, I like the simple styling of the crystal clear case for the 8125 (see links below). Because it snaps on individually on both sides, there is no obstruction to opening the keyboard, and there is no flap over the screen. It is not as elegant as a leather case and not as bulky or heavy as an aluminum case.
My only issue is that it doesn't appear that it is sold with a belt clip. From the photos, it appears that there is an opening to attach a belt clip. I checked the Boxwave site and though they sell clear cases with swivel belt clips on other models, they don't do with some, including this one.
So finally...my question is, does anyone know whether I would be able to purchase a belt clip separately or (1) does this particular case not support a belt clip, (2) it would not be advisable to use with a belt clip even if it was possible, due to design issues (e.g., snap on case not that durable or snug a fit and phone might pop off, etc.)?

Do these plastic cases cover the screen? It seems they do not, but it is not obvious from the pictures.
They dont' protect the screen. I have one for my mda, and left it on there for like 5 mins. It makes an already bulky phone bulkier. Plus it just feels cheap, especially when you're sliding the keyboard open and shut. But I got it for $10 shipped, so whaddya gonna do? Check ebay for cheaper prices.
(This was with the MDA case...but maybe the 8125 is made with some true craftsmanship so as to avoid these problems )
Thanks just what I needed
Just wanted to say thanks I have been looking for a case like this.
Take care
Cases don't fit 8125
Regarding http://www.daydeal.com/home.php?cat=2262, those cases fit MDAs but will not fit on an 8125. Although both have basically the same form factor, there are enough differences in the edges of the phones and mail/IE button locations that the case will not fit. I learned from experience.
Hi all
I haven't found any topic about this case, so here it is:
I recently bought a Tuff-Luv Executive leather pouch for my HTC HD.
http://www.amazon.fr/Tuff-Luv-Execu...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1235746989&sr=8-1
It is quite good, the phone fits very well in it (the camera hole is a bit too low but it is ok anyway). the phone can still be easily to removed from the case.
And it is one of the few leather cases for that phone, that has a hatch that opens to the lower part of the phone (sorry, can't find the words in English, you can see picture) so this is appreciable.
everything is easy to access: stylus, usb port even when the case is closed , volume control, audio jack. Plus it is less expensive than Noreve and Proporta cases (probably not the same durability, but this I can only tell after a while, as it seems to carry on well for now)
So I would gladly recommend it. Anyone else has this case ?
Hope it works out for you. Looks like a pretty well made case.
I'm still trying a few different cases for my HD.
First was the PDA Air book style but it didn't take too long for me to get concerned the two plastic arms that holds the unit in the case are not that secure. The unit can slide and as it is also a belt clip case last thing I wanted was my new shiny HD sliding out and bouncing on the pavement. :-(
Currently have a two piece case of eBay described as "black rubber". Really more of a plastic than rubber and it will do for the short term as only a few dollars.
Today I ordered a Krusell Orbit case. Has the removable flap which covers the screen. I am hoping that with the main section of the case still on the unit it will still fit in the cradle I have. (My cradle has a bit of space around the unit which I hope will accommodate the case)
Your case look good too but the flap attached to the rest of the case at the base so wouldn't allow the unit to sit in the cradle.
I have been searching online retailers and local shops for a leather case for my Touch HD but to no avail, until I have found this in one of the mall in the Philippines while on holiday. I believe this is one of the best genuine leather case available for the HD regardless of the price. The best part of it is the price: Only USD15.00
The leather is not stiff but smooth and soft. The stitching is very well done. All phone controls and buttons are all accessible.
Check out the pix to have an idea how amazing this leather case is.
The pictures does not include the belt clip which also serves as headset/headphone cable organizer. Very, very neat!
looks good, do you know who manufactured it?

It's Capdase. They actually have cases for all other phones including, iphone, blackberries. I actually bought similar cases too for my Blackeberry bold and Nokia 5800.
I'm wondering whether this leather case could be made compatible with Krusell's Multidapt mounting system, so it could be used with their car and bike holder kits. Could you maybe give me the exact dimensions of the swivel thingy that I suppose gets screwed in the back of the case?
Here's the corresponding Krusell data:
outside-diameter (top 2mm): 12,5mm
outside-diameter (lower 2mm): ca 9,5mm
inside-diameter: 7mm
also, do you know what kind of screw is used?
here's a pic of the krusell belt kit (the swivel thingy I'm talking about is obviously the second from the left):
Whoooa! The last pic, where it shows th case being used as a stand raises it's value a lot
Where can we buy this product ??
it's very usefull

I believe it will not be compatible. I am at work now, I will post additional pictures with belt clip on and the screw itself. I have had Krussel before but it is not as well designed as the belt clip that comes with this Capdase case.

I bought this in a mall in the Manila, Phils. I have search the web but it is not available. Maybe you could try search "Capdase" in Ebay. Even in Manila, it is not readily available in most shops, you really have to ask for it.

I will try to post additional pictures when I get off from work. But I can assure that it still fits my front pocket comfortable without looking happy to see everybody ....I never use the belt clip and screw so that's helped a lot in terms of pocketability.

Hiya guys. Just received my phone today.
I have ordered one of these Beyza SlimLine Leather Pouch Case.
Has anyone had one of these before, and what was their view of it?
Looking for a slim (protective) case, whether it be silicone or leather, pouch or flip-case, so that I can carry the phone in my jeans pocket.

I'd support that. Got the Bugatti SlimCase two weeks ago, and I'm quite satisfied with it.
PROs:
- Sturdy, quality leather case, offers good protection for the HD.
- Fixed belt loop. (yes there is a belt loop on the back - hard to see on some pictures). No clip that can accidentally slip off your belt.
- Slim fit: The HD's a slim device, and this case doesn't add bulk to it. Sits tightly against the belt, so no bulge at your waist. Comfortable to wear even under a business suit.
- velcro fastening: No chance of the HD accidentally slipping out of the case.
- Good fit around device: The HD fits in just right, and it's not too tight (so no unnecessary pressure on the screen).
- EasyOut strip, really easy to operate: Undo the velcro and pull the strip in one movement - hey presto, the HD is lifted about 1/3 out of the case. Couldn't be easier.
CON:
- Putting the HD back into the case is a bit more fiddly: The EasyOut strip gets in the way, or gets twisted. Not easy to do with one hand.
Overall, a really good belt-able case, and a real bargain too.
(I got mine from Amazon for ~ 10 € incl. P&P!!!!)
N.
You got to watch out for some of those cases on Ebay. I bought one for my X1i when I had it and because it was kinda tight ( needed breaking in ) it wore the paint down on an edge near the control panel. It was felt lined but the outer shell felt more like synthetic leather.
Krussel case here because of the quality and the Multidapt system, my last five cases have been Krussel so I have all the belt clips, windshield brackets etc. already.
