Innopocket Magnum Case
How does it handle in daily use?
Does it support an extended battery?
I'm using the Brando hardcase and it's been good, but after a couple of drops the corners of my BA are a little dinged up since there is no corner protection.
Thanks!

I am on my second one. The first broke within a month and was replaced by the dealer. The side clamps that hold the case closed are not well made. Even a small drop will cause the springs in the clamp to pop out or the entire clamp comes out. I have spent a lot of time searching around on the ground for all the pieces after the clamps falls apart. Sometimes the clamp comes loose for no reason. You will be walking and your PDA falls out of the case. I was told that I probably just had a faulty case and they sent me another one. The clamps look the same so I figure the same thing will happen. The aluminium case locks with a different mechanism and works much better.
I have a magnum
As far as cases go it's the bet i've owned. Better than the tinny metal ones. The only reason my BA works is thanks to this case.
I'd reccomend it
Since reveiving the second case I havn't had any problems. I think I just had a lemon the first time.
does this really protect the device in some cases of accident drop. Hows the the feel of the case?

Can you get an extended battery for the BA? Got a link for it?
Yes on e-bay but I have heard some horror stories about them so be careful.

Yes it really does protect the phone. I have dropped mine twice with this case and there was no damage to the phone at all. It did pop out of the case once though.
I have not had any issues with this case untill the threads on the post wore out and the case started falling due to that. I was not happy with the way they put the post on the cases. but it has lasted longer and functions better than any other case I have owned for my SX66 so I would buy another.
I have this case, but I prefer to use the original Siemens case, for the sole reason of ergonomics.
The Blue Angel is a sleek, sexy piece of art (all compacted into a phone), and to hide it in a bulky titanium case just doesn't seem right to me. Also, you cant use the touch screen and using the call/end and D-Pad buttons is a clumsy task with the innopocket case. I'd recommend getting a nice leather folder type case or an OEM style Siemens case.
However, the Innopocket case is GREAT when you use the phone as a GPS. Just attach the car mount to the back, and it protects the phone from hitting the windshield and dashboard while driving down a bumpy road.
I bought on eBay and I can't use it !
If I put my sx66 in the case it will push the button and other than that I can't close securely. I'm very dissapointed with the quality.
So please don't buy it !
I've had a few. Both the Titanium and Black Magnesium.
Also I've owned these for 4 different PDA models. After a few falls The Titanium will actually Dent in and itself leave a scratch on your PDA. The Magnesium doesn't dent in and is the one I currently use. The black case also compliments the silver PDA's color very well. Both will Pop open on a fall sometimes leaving your machine vulnerable. Serious Issue - I wish They would fix. All in all it is the most protective and stylish case available. You can recoup most of your lost functionality by assigning Voice Command to the record button. These are not like soft cases though. As you bump or drop your PDA around they will become damaged and inoperable and you will have to replace them.

omg Sorry but I have to say, I had palm IIIe, 2x palm 505, Tungsten E, qtek 1010, qtek 2020 and now BA which is qtek 9090 and last one is the more ugly than any of the pdas I owned before. Even the 2020 was piece of the art comparing to 9090
If you want to see sleek and sexy piece of art take a look at palm m505, that little guy gathered a lot of prizes for the design and thats for the reason, it looks like the some part of the porsche. BA is definitely not in that class.
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Krusell Orbit with Multidapt for the I-Mate JasJam (or similar)? Just wanted to make sure there were no magnets or foreseeable issues with the case before I went ahead and purchased?
Elite_Gamer04
It's not available yet. Expected to be released on Nov. 6
If you look at the pictures of the Krusell, while it looks very nice (I had one before for my Blue Angel and it was super), this one looks a bit clumsy. To slide the keyboard you've got to pop that button and have that awkward extra flap with the window open. And to take a photo you've got to bend the top flap way back. So, I'm not crazy about those two items. See the Krusell.
I just bought (but haven't received) the ORA Premium Chairman's Case (god what a lame name). ORA is apparently expansys/mobile planet's own brand. I think the design looks much more usable. You just open the case and slide the keyboard, no second thing to unbotton. And to take photos there is just a permanent cut-out, so no extra thing to move out of the way. The lens is somewhat recessed anyway, so I don't anticipate much reduced protection.See ORA Premium Chairman's Case
Another very nice one that seemed very functional (and much like my old Krusell for the Blue Angel) is this PDAir case. I really liked that one but went with the ORA because it looked a bit more protective, useful, etc. Otherwise I would have bought this one.
Anyway, that's my take on it...

Actually this is a Piel Frama case. The problem I have with this case is that it has a plastic insert which goes in between keyboard and the upper part of the device. Upon the time the keyboard most likely will become loose and you won't be able to use the PPC without this case any more. And plastic itself will wear out quickly

That ORA Premium Chairman's (you're right, what a terrible name!) case looks like the best I've seen yet.
Anyone know if it's available from any UK outlets?
The name just underlines the fact that this case is three times more expensive then almost any other case

Your past experience may differ quite a bit from mine, but in my experience having the same style of plastic cover thing to retain a device (Krussel's Blue Angel case) the plastic never seemed to suffer any damage/problems in 2 years of use. Not saying it's an ideal design, I wish the phone/PDA designers would make some sort of camera-tripod like screw hole which would allow the phone/device to be secured to a case, a car mount, etc.

Plastic yes, but did you device suffer any damage because of regular sticking this plastic in between the keyboard and base?

Damage, no. But I can't deny that it appeared the keyboard was looser over time. Not much looser, not problematically looser. But if that's what you mean then yes, it did become looser (i.e., slide more easily, so that at the end of 1.5 years i could shake the keyboard open). Again, I never thought it was a huge problem, but certainly not ideal.
Finally the Krusell Orbit is out and mine is supposed to be shipped tomorrow.

Any reviews yet?
I expect to get it on on Monday.
how do you like it so far? I'm looking to purchase this too but then again with this whole talk about the plastic making the keyboard and base loose is worrying me. I rather not have that problem.
Please do tell.
I have the Piel Frama case in black. Its ok, the clear vynil goes ontop of the keyboard which holds the device in the case.
The problem is that everytime you want to close the keyboard, the vynil bends as it is not a snug fit but its a big deal.
Also, i am sceptical of it losening my keboard lock mehcanisms.
Now I am searching for clear crystal two part case so the device is always protected even when the keyboard is out and using a screen protector as well. Has anyone found a crystal clear hard case? I know that there are some for the WIZARD, but I havent seen any for the HERMES.

Well, I've received the case but still hesitant to put the device into it. The plastic insert and magnetic lock are my two main concerns.
Currently I'm using black aluminum case and pretty happy with it except the fact that the radio and bluetooth signal levels are lower when device is placed into the case.
joedoe,
you are talking about the krusell orbit that you have received? If so, have you tried putting in the 8525 to see if the plastic is something that jasjamming is experiencing with the plastic folding back due to fitting?
Hi all,
I just bought this case and am waiting for it to arrive, I have not used the original case at all as I see it as stupid for me, the chance of me dropping it while I am trying to remove it from the case everytime it rings or I need to use it is quiet high. I first bought the silicon case of ebay but still to much of the phone was unprotected.
This silicon case seems to cover the entire phone completely, even with a screen cover, I just can't work out how it stays on the phone, you will get what I mean from the picture. I will let you know when it arrives.

Yes, I've tried it. It was pretty difficult to put my TyTN into the case and even more difficult take it out.
The plastic isn't folding back because it stays under the keyboard even when it's opened.
It's very inconvenient to use the device as a phone in this case because the flap rests right on the top of a head or you have to bend it back and hold with your index finger.
I guess I'll stay with the aluminum case for now.

I bought the Krusell Red Label Dynamic with Multidapt® I still have not recieved it, I was just showing all the silicon case as I was wondering how it stayed on the phone.
I've seen these on ebay - I like slimmer cases/pouches for carrying in the pocket - has anyone tried them?

I'm hoping that Beyza come out with one, I've got their Diamond one and it's perfect:
http://www.beyzacases.com/pd-htc-to...vsl16-vertical-leather-case-vintage-brown.cfm
My mates got the first one for his Touch Diamond 2 and my HTC hero doesn't fit inside it very well, too tight.
I've seen this as well - looks nice. It's a generic one though, so don't know how well it would fit. I'd much rather get a dedicated one (Beyza hopefully) though.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/krusell-luna-pouch-extra-large-black-p19810.htm
i really doubt they would be a good fit for the hero and ive heard that the hero rubs on the inside of them resulting a smudged look on the hero
I've got one similar to the second link, bought from the same seller HERE. My Hero fits nicely inside it and delivery from Hong Kong was quick.

Do you have a white Hero and if so does that pouch stain it at all? I've tried a couple of pouches that stained mine.
no sorry - it's a black G2.
I've just received a gel case with protector from here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180415010020
Really happy with it, and the screen protector is actually really really decent (i.e. fits the whole glass screen) and applied easily with only one tiny tiny mark that I can hardly notice. Not tested over the long term, but I think I paid 30p extra over the case to get this.
yeah ive got a gel case also, the screen protector extra is a must!!
together theyre great at protecting my phone and extremely durable
only thing with that is the phone wont fit in the dock with a case like this on. nice though.
do the cases scratch the back side?
Nah it doesn't scraTch it. I've had the gel case on my hero for around 3 months now and the back is in pristine condition
this is the case i use, its the best one i have had yet, it comes with a pretty decent screen protector aswell. Its the hardest, most rigid skin i've had but its still flexible enough that it won't crack or split and it much better quality than the flexishield ones (i've tried one of those aswell). My phone takes some serious hammer and it still looks brand new after 6 months! lol...which even surprises me.

The Capdase Soft Jacket 2 Xpose is great.
finally got one of these ebay "soft silicon gel" transparent cases. looks ok, feels ok... no complaints really, I think it will protect my Hero just fine and isn't bulky. only 5$ including shipping
I'm using the Zagg invisibleSHIELD. I've used this on quite many of my phones, and it's great. Protects only against scratches, but on the other side, I've never been a phonecase guy, and scratches is my main phone problem. Or I'd rather say; WAS!
Capdase Smart Pocket
I should be getting my hero at the weekend thanks to an upgrade with t-mobile and I really like the look of the Capdase smart pocket for it.
I've had a look on mobilefun (linked above) and also found another site that lists it called vinko's treasures. Neither of them seem to have it in stock.
Does anyone know anywhere that stocks these cases or of any similar pouch cases that are designed to fit the hero?

I was using a gel case up to about 2 or 3 months ago, but it started to yellow quite badly. I stopped using it, and my Hero has been fine without it.

Why don't try something which is in good quality
I bought a case from ebay before, It is attractive because it sells in a lower price,
but seems I was unlucky, the case damage within about 2 month - loose sewing and can't fit to the charger hole
I try serveal online store, which I would highly recommend to you is PDair,
you may check this out:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000759
They keep the quality well and the price can be acceptable
I bought the HTC case for now. Seems to protect the phone just fine if not the best fitting case going. I've found another site that stocks the Capdase one called MobiMega (can't post links just yet) and the price works out quite cheap too. Might have to get one ordered up to compare.
I was going to buy this Piel Frama case for my Rhodium, but I can't really see from the pictures whether I have access to the mini-USB or not. Anyone who can enlighten me? Can I use my headset while using this case?
Of course, I could upgrade to this wonderful case, but it is more expensive ordering from Spain, and it does look a lot more bulky than the classic model. EDIT: Ordering from Norway, it's around 400 NOK for the Classic case from the US vs close to 700 NOK for the iMagnum one from Spain.
Alternatively I have been looking at this PDair case which is a good deal cheaper, but I haven't found any reports on its durability and general usefulness yet. Did anyone here try it out? If so, is it any good?
While searching for the others I also found an aluminum exoskeleton of sorts and it does look cool I think. It doesn't add too much size and weight to the TP2, so it might be a contender as well. Again I ask for opinions
Hy
when i bought my TP2 i got a case very similar to the second one you post (this wanderful case)
i never used it.
it makes the Ppc huge. extremely unconfortable.
at the moment i am using a case which was designed for iphone or something like that.
it has a clip for the belt and a hook that goes on the jeans. it's basically like one of that sock but a bit better.
it's much slimmer, easy to access, secure and when i use the phone i don't have the case attached.
my suggestion is not to buy that cases, but go into some shop and try some up

That aluminum case looks like the tp2 would slide around in there. I've tried a few cases, but they all added too much bulk. Did find a cheap clear plastic one, and it's awesome. Looks great, fits better than any other ones, and adds hardly any bulk. CHeck this thread out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578050&highlight=clear+hard+case
This is what I have. It does add bulk to the phone but has saved my phone twice already.
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Elements-Rubberized-Tmobile/dp/B002JQRW68
Comes in 2 configurations, 1 for belt clip and other for pocket. You cannot have both as there is a notch at the back which is interchangeable depending on how you want to use the case.
* Another thing, I believe this case was designed more for the Touch Pro 2 for t-mobile as I don't have issues like the other reviewers had.
Tmob Version TP2 seems to be an Orphan amoung case makers
I am in the same boat trying to find a nice case that my phone does not have to be removed from to be used. In the past I went with Krusell cases and that was great for many years and different devices now the Krusell for the TP2 is known to be junk.
I would buy Piel Frama magnum from your post If I had the Reg Ver Tp2.

Just got my Touch pro2, with a htc pouch and htc case.
Case is fine, but I dislike to have to open it to get the phone out. Also, I can't use the usb while in the case, another deal breaker.
The pouch is better, but would like more protection.
What I found perfect is the slide case I got with my Touch pro. Sure one can get better protection, but considering how fast was to use the case and how small the case is, the phone looks like new without any scratches.
Any recommendations for such a case?
Last night i purchased ...
...the clear acrylic case from the AT&T store. It is a 2 piece case that snaps on AND has a touch sensitive screen protector. I do not like the plastic belt clips as I have bumped/snagged them on things and broken the clip. I prefer a holster type case (horizontal) as i carry another object directly on my side/hip.
Hi guys,
I'm a new Vega user and it came supplied with a neoprene sleeve which is fine as a stop gap but I'm now needing something a bit more substantial.
I'm after a case that the vega stays in permanently but it must have 2 key features.
1) Stiff front to protect the screen when the case is closed and the tablet is in my rucksack
2) double up as a stand in landscape mode
Cheaper the better as my budget is tight, so not expecting anything too remarkable.
I've trawled eBay but none I've seen mention both of the above, so I thought I'd ask here for people's opinions on what they have in daily use.
Links to stores in the uk or eBay uk appreciated, but not essential, as long as I know what I'm looking for.
Cheers,
Malty
Lol maybe see the thread below ures
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
had already read through that thread.
Been thinking about this one..
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....95170&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_4335wt_1156
£11 delivered
I would NOT use that eBay seller, personally, for 2 reasons.
Firstly, they describe the case as "leather", when it obviously isn't. If they will lie about that, what else will they lie about?
Secondly, their negative and neutral feedback suggests that they are not especially nice people to deal with.
The best case to meet your 2 criteria would be the official folio case. It offers the protection you require, only problem is it is not the cheapest case. But in the end you get what you pay for. Totally happy with mine, keep the vega in it all the time.
I don't mind paying if it's right.
Can that one be used as a landscape stand? I've seen it mentioned but never seen a picture of it as such.
Cheers,
Malty
You Can. Posted pics Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908230
I saw that pic (I presume the one in your first post) but wasn't sure how it was held in place.
Is the case locked in that position somehow or is it just held by friction on the desktop ?
cheers,
malty
It is held by friction. My case is a little lose, but a friend of mine has one which is a nice snug fit. Mine was not bad enough to warrant the trip back to currys. You could always take your vega with you and try before you buy.
I like this one. it's over my actual budget , but I'll get one sooner or later.

sadly they don't have any stock at my local currys or pcworld. They also have no vega's in stock but they do have one on display
Oh and I didn't mean what keeps the tablet inside the case, I meant what keeps the case upright in landscape mode ?
Did anyone notice the official Folio case got pulled from pc world? Do you think the TF101 cases would work? The dimensions are very similar, the vega is about .6mm deeper, 4mm wider and 4mm taller.
I bought this case for my Vega
ebay.co.uk/itm/250877574917?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Its cheap and it works, the inner that holds the Vega can be rotated round so it can be either horizontal or vertical, it has 3 slits at the bottom so you can fold it into a stand and choose what angle you want it held.
It also comes with (another) microsd to sd card, a stylus, a cleaning cloth and a single screen protector.
I have been impressed with it so far and for £13 its a steal.
I think im gonna get a custom case made. I'll probly use felt, real leather costs loads!

I have been looking at this and similar cases on ebay but want to know a few things first.
1. Is the case specifically for the vega or is it generic eg, are ports accessible and is the fit right, or is it a bit off?
2. Is the tablet secure, will it fall out?
3. How much bulk does the case add?
Thanks, my vega should be coming in a few days, does it come with a case or sleeve already, I don't want to pre order something unnecessary.
Cheers everyone!

Nope, no case or sleeve Inc.
I bought one from ebay. It's item number 320710547405 and the 'title' is "Foldable leather Case Fits 10.1" Advent Vega Tablet -UK." It came with a free screen protector but I haven't really used it since the case protects it so well.
I was really impressed with the case because it's quite sturdy and the foldable bit at the back (see photos on the item description) is really handy. Also, all the cables, etc. fit in very nicely. Overall, it was a real bargain, especially considering the ones at PC World were majorly overpriced.
Good luck and enjoy your Vega!
Ooops....forgot to say that it does add a bit of bulk to the tablet but to be honest, the tablet had a few close calls before I got the case that I was grateful for the extra 'bulk.' It's not a major amount of bulk though!

The best case to meet your 2 criteria would be the official folio case. It offers the protection you require, only problem is it is not the cheapest case. But in the end you get what you pay for. Totally happy with mine, keep the vega in it all the time.

I have the official advent vega folio case and it does not come with a hard front-screen which was part of the criteria mentioned...
I'm still looking for a portraid folio case with a protective screen cover, so that I can also pop the vega into my attachet folder, hope you find what you are looking for

When did you buy your case bud? I got mine in around February when I got my vega and mine has definately got a hard front cover (It lives permanently in its folio case in my rucksack and when I take it out from time to time its still like brand new)
I will make a short video of it at lunch time when the office is quieter lol
