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.
i was look for a good case with belt clip
so i bought the official htc case for P6500 on Htc/expansys site
and .. send it back
because it is nothing like it is on the picture
it is not a a belt clip case, it is some kind of "wallet case"
so i search and search....
the only cases that seems to feet is all the universal cases
but no one seems goog enouth
and seem to be imposible to find some horizontal belt clip case
so here is my find
http://www.noreve.com/category/PC+d...tui_cuir_universel_PDA_-_Large_Tradition.html
good quality
just a little large for the p6500, but good
i would like some case that feet the P6500 well , horizontal with belt clip
so until it comes out, this one will make the the job
so if some of you find something better, don't forget to share !
regard
Years ago compaq used to make an expandable fabric case for the 36xx ipaq. I still have mine and it fits the p6500 perfectly. I don't know if it's still possible to acquire it.

The P6500 has a bit rounded backsight, so if u tap on the display the HTC waggles. Is this problem solved with the PielFrama?

I finally found & bought one of these from PDAir
They do two or three of them but this one was what I was after, just something to carry it around & clip on me belt
I have one of the ones that kwburress wrote about and found it to be an excellent piece of workmanship, but, I also found that PDAir have some aluminium cases which are handy as well. Thanks to both Prospro and kwburress for their input...
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-cases/htc-p6500-cases/htc-p6500-defender-case/
we use the otterbox, it's great if you need a rugged case for ultimate protection.
What cases are you chaps investing in to protect your Heros?
Have not seen any yet. Not sure if I should get one or not I did not get one for the Diamond and that is in great nick
New mobiles make me nervous...........
If you have the white... with Teflon coating and a good screen protector I would imagine that a case isn't necessary.
You haven't witnessed my ability to juggle mobiles and drop things out of pockets onto concrete
Also, when locking onto GPS signals, putting phones on window ledges and watching in horror as they drop 30 foot to paving slabs.....oh yes.....
Been there....done that!

i will be keeping a firm grip on my hero....
my old diamond was always trying to jump out of my hand
Mine will reside in my pocket, next to my homekeys, some coins and lint.
I like to put mine in a belt case while at work as I'm always running about. Apart from that a good screen protector normally does the trick
Soon available at www.noreve.com (high quality cases)
I'v tried all the high street stores, and nothing, 99% of mobile shops don't even know what the HTC hero is and 95% of them only sell iPhone crap and nothing else, the worlds getting taken over by sheeps with iPhones
Original HTC Pouch
I bought this:
https://www.expansys.at/d.aspx?i=184424
...and unfortunately, it's crap. My white Hero has now some black parts and looks already old.
So, don't buy this if you have a white Hero. No problem whit a black one, I guess

I got this for free (http://www.handtec.co.uk) and so far no smudges. I tried rubbing some white plastic (NOT my Hero) on the inner leather lining, and with considerable effort I can rub off some black colour. After cleaning the white plastic piece it was bright white again, maybe you want to give it a try.
The case is a bit tight, though. On the other side, the phone can't fall out even if the magnetic latch opens accidentally ;-)
Overall, I'd give it 7/10 (good but not great).
Foof case for my Hero
At the moment I'm using a Foof case with a sherpa fleece inner. Its surprisingly protective and fits perfectly. Snug enough not to slip out but easy to remove. Got the ipod touch size from http://foofshop.com/ and they have great choices for different colours.
I've got this pouch:
http://www.krusellcases.com/uk/p_krusell_product.aspx?i=179446
Just what I wanted so far, it protects the phone and is rather slim. I didn't want more bulk in my pants pocket. The Hero fits quite ok, maybe it's a wee bit too wide, but not much.
Edit:
I'm gonna return the Pouch to the shop. The inner part (as well as the exterior) is made of a leather-like matherial in black color. The first days it was ok, but it has started to leave black stains on my white Hero. I was able to remove them really easily but I'm not happy anymore. I'll go check if its a defect in my pouch or all these models leave stains. I don't recommend it anymore.

Why would you post this here, rather than the thread about batteries?
I do not have a Hero yet, but I do plan on getting on when it is released in the US. Anyway...
Have you guys ever heard of SwitchEasy? They make cases for the iPhone and they are my favorite case maker, and I was planning to get a case from them as I was originally planning to buy an iPhone about a year ago. However, I did buy one for my girlfriend about a week ago and she LOVES it. I waited on buying that iPhone and out came the Hero.
I recently sent them an email to see if they would ever consider ever making a phone case for the Hero. Unfortunately, that was about 2 days ago and have not had a reply...
Perhaps if we can get enough people to send them emails so that they can realize how many people have Heros (and provided you like their cases ) we can get them to manufacture some cases and add a bit more selection to the slim pickings so far.
I am not trying to promote their products or site in any way, but if you like the style of their cases like I do, I would definitely like to see a case from them for the Hero. Was just wondering if we can do a group effort here.
If this post violates any rules that this forum has, please delete or mod it. Thank you!
I'm using the HTC belt holster that I got for my Diamond. It's a nice tight secure fit. The Diamond used to wobble around in it.
If you have or found a good case, post it here.
I bought the official case from TMO. It's a little pricey but provides excellent protection. As a matter of fact, the faucet in my bathroom leaks and I left my tablet on the counter one night. I woke the next morning and my tablet was sitting in a puddle of water that extended halfway up the case. Took the case off, wiped everything down, and plugged it back in. Worked fine. Even the liquid indicator was still white.

Ditto on the TMO case.. seems $20 too high, but honestly a pretty good hunk of hardware for your tablet. I will have one spare once I have my tablet mounted into my car dash..

Another vote for the TMo case and you are right about the price but you can buy it off Ebay for about $20 less unless you are like me and want it right now.
Can anyone pls post a picture/link to this TMo case?
Would like to know how it looks, whats the price and where to get it.. thanks

The brand is Incipio and I purchased mine from a TMo store for like $50. I had seen the same one on Ebay for half the price but I didn't want to wait. I checked Ebay and the case is no longer listed. I also looked on the Incipio web site and they don't even list it. I don't have a picture but the case is black and the tablet kind of snaps down into the bottom part of the case. You can open the case(it is held closed with an elastic strap) and you have three positions that the tablet can be set into. They range from a fairly good tilt to darn near upright. I have found the case to be quite nice and it really doesn't add much to the overall size. Hope this helps.

Pictures attached.
On the second picture, you can see bubbles in the microfiber. That's the glue separating because I got it wet.
I bought on ebay a smart cover like this from the auction 170821966479. It's thin, good protection and a good stand. I am very happy with it.
The TMO case is so popular in the US, but outside there are two options: universal 7 inch case or a not so bad case designed for the media pad. Search for t-mobile springboard case on ebay.
I bought a cheap-o case off eBay for $16. Listing was questionable as the sellers account was terminated the day after I bought it. I still got the case this morning after 3 weeks though. 2 problems with it. It's a little too thing for the springboard, so the outside edge around the display doesn't quit fold over all the way and sticks up. Secondly, the hole for the front facing camera is slightly off and the camera just barely peeks out from it.
Might not stick with the case though. Without the case I've always been able to stick it in my back pocket (slacks or jeans) and walk around with it to a few places, lunch breaks, dog walks, etc. With the case its a no go.

Yes, I have also found this one on eBay. I have ordered it (the same colour like lilaliend). But it never arrived (I got my money back). Fortunatelly!!
After the first attempt with eBay, I have decided to invest a bit more money and ordered a leather case from PDair:
qqq.pdair.com/index.php/ebook-reader-tablet/huawei/huawei-mediapad/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black.htmk
(in the URL please replace qqq with www and htmk with html)
You can buy it directly from PDair for $80. This is quite a lot of money. But PDair's reseller for Middle East sells the same case ("book type") for $60:
tbeyond.com/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black-p-14363.htmk
(in the URL please replace htmk with html)
Free Worldwide Shipping. Even though the reseller is based in United Arab Emirates, the case came from Hong Kong. Delivery to Germany was without any problems.
My experience with the case from PDair: The case is simply excellent. I highly recommend it. It is worth the money:
PROS:
- durable black leather
- magnets! It closes with magnets
- the tablet fits nicely into the case (in contrast to the cheap case from eBay - see post from lilaliend)
- all holes (front and rear cameras, USB and HDMI ports, charger) are precisely where they should be
CONS:
- the case is rather thick. They use multiple layers of leather (you can see it on the pictures on the PDair website). So the tablet is really well protected. But with the case you can not put the tablet into your back pocket...
TMobile Incipio case for Springboard has dropped in price
If you were to shop for it now on the TMobile site the Incipio case is now $29. That's about $15 to maybe $20 cheaper than when I bought it earlier in the year. ARGH!
I do love my case though. The only thing that's bad is when you are in portrait mode and the front cover doesn't sit nicely back when holding it in that position.

I wanted a case that had a zippered closure, for added protection. I had this case from when I had purchased the Kindle Fire. But I decided to see if it would fit the Springpad. It does, with a bit of sanding or cutting.
This is an option if you are willing to sand down or cut two nibs from the top two clips. Each clip has two nibs, the one you want to sand down or cut is the one on the right for each clip. I have attached some pictures so you can see the zippered case and the two clips above, and a close up of the cut. Mine is a bit sloppy, but hey, I'm not complaining. See pictures.

Great... I am happy with my incipio but I got this off ebay because it would be nice to prop it in portrait mode. I guess I could report how well it does when it comes.

this is my combo "temporary" case and universal stand. :laugh:
still looking for a folio-type case and I just got news that the local distributor here already has stocks and giving it for free for new buyers of MediaPad. :silly:
I wanted a case that protects the corners, could prop up the MediaPad in landscape and (!) did not cover the front (like some cases that cover the bezel around the display).
Turns out that this case for the Lenovo Ideapad A1 fits just fine. Only the hole for the camera is in the wrong place, but I don't use the Pad's camera anyway. Nice sleek design. Reeks of plastic/glue the first few days, but the smell wears off quickly and then you have a smart-looking case for your MediaPad.
Apparently this case comes with different names around the globe. Have a look at the pictures and see what's available in your country.
Hi
I'm using the EasyAcc Case for nearly a year now.
It fits great, exept the hole for the frontcamera could be a milimeter bigger.
I do not know, in it is available outside Germany.

Just wanted to say When I got my G8X I also picked up a spec case for it.
everything is great EXCEPT... Its aq VERY tight fit, I was worried about the phone while putting it in the case, start on one long edge and get BOTH corners inbefore trying a 3rd corner and then the last one.. a drop of water on the last one helps a lot and the phone is waterproof so...
OH, and I can put a metal shim under this case for my car magnetic mount.
Thanks for sharing, and I would like to know is there any other case available , or at least some skins for the back.
The phone is too slippery, it keeps drop from my desks to the floor...
I don't always use the phone with its dual view case as it adds too much bulky, only use it when nesseary, e.g. read a book
I bought a black TPU case to use until I receive my Dual Screen Case. I have seen the same case sold by other sellers on Amazon. Comes in 4 colors.

came here to recommend the VOIA case. probably my favorite phone case I've ever had, been using daily for ⁴ months now. perfect size and thickness, protective yet sleek. nice soft rubber feel that doesn't scratch, and the felt inside is an added bonus. amazing value too. I must admit however that shipping takes a while and mine got lost in the mail, so it took a few weeks. still worth the wait.
