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.

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.

Unfortunately I have the USA T-mobile Version of the TP2 and this phone is turning out to be the bastard orphan amoung case makers.
I have narrowed it down to two cases and would like any opinions for my Tmob TP2

With so many versions of the same model phone the waters are becoming murky. I wish they would just give them different Model Numbers and Names.
Thanks and Best of Luck with the search for the best case for our phones.

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 ive just moved from the TREO600 to an O2 xda mini s and i hate the belt clip case that comes with it , anyone know of a simple slip case (like the treo) that works with the xda/kjam/dopod 838/mda vario ive done some googleing but cant find anything
thanks

Good cases, no complaints, configurable too.

Nice one they look perfect , though the case that fits my device has been suspended
I use a Magician Case, (I-Mate JAM) I used to have the Magician and this case was very good for it, the mini-s fits snuggly in it now and it has stretched a little over the course of the year I've had it.
Cheerio
Howard
ok here are some suggestions while you look for your perfect slip case... by the way are you looking for a horizontal one or vertical one?
--
ipod mini sock [it stretches... used this the first few days I had my wizard]
one of those oakley shades cases cum wipes [dual function there]
--
I think most SE P800 or P900 cases would fit the mini S [well actually from comparison shots it even looks like Treo cases would fit as well]
--
currently I am using a aluminium case for my wizard.
Hi ive tried the treo and an ipod case they are both a quite tight, i could attempt a stretch but id prefer a solution that doesnt need modding Oh and im looking for a verticle slipcase just like the Treo's no belt loop etc justa simple case.
Krusell
The Krusell Cabriolet ought to be perfect from what you're describing. It does come with a belt clip functionality but since it's Krusell you can replace this with any one of a number of options or simply remove it altogether.
There's a post over at PDANut listing all the case options.
i know its a little late, but im looking for a slip case as well and came up with this
Slip case
Timbuk2 Smartphone case. Fit perfectly
http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/retail/catalog.htm?categoryId=47
I got mine from Palm store
http://web.palm.com/products/Category.jhtml?id=180042&cat=b100016
Go to boxwave.com and make a request. They claim that if they get enough requests they release the product. Go to the link at the bottom to request a product for a device and then make sure "Flexiskin" is checked. It is probably a good idea to mention all the Wizard's aliases (MDA Vario, Qtek 9100, I-mate K-jam) so they see it is a device in alot of user's hands. I owned one of these for my Treo and it was outstanding.
Just an FYI to everyone:
I got my Krusell Verticalic Case today and it works GREAT for the 8125. You need to order the small-wide size (Model 94178). The websites don't list it as compatible, but if you pull out your ruler and measure your phone (believe it or not Cingular has the width wrong) you will see that it is a perfect fit for this case. I have a spring clip to wear with my jeans and a swivel clip to wear with my nicer work clothes.
I am psyched! I had been waiting for this thing to come in, as I was convinced it would fit despite it not being listed as compatible.
Also-if anyone is looking for a good place to get one of these...I can recommend sfplanet.com. I ordered mine from them on Sunday and I got it today (MN to SC). They also did a great job with some special instructions I left in the comments box.
Two thumbs up for the Krusell case and two thumbs up for SFPlanet.com!!!

I have a krussel case for my nokia 6620. I thought another krussel would not be a bad choice. Although if anybody has a wonderful case they can suggest that is great.
Basically i want a case that is always on, since i can drop the unit when its not in the case that was included.
I have the PDAir Aluminium one, and think it's great. I'm very rough with my electronic toys, since they are "tools" for me, and a good tool has to stand me Also bought some pretty leather case (don't remember the name), because I thought it would be a bit smaller than the PDAir, but it wasn't, and you don't see the screen with those, so I'm back to PDAir. Looking at all the scratches it already has, it seems it does it's job well...

Is it possible to extend the keyboard without removing the phone from the case?
:?:
Yup I got the solid aluminium for travel and running around and the Krussel Cabriolet is on order for evening out or light use.

I think Krussel is the best. The prices are another story, this is about 50$.
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLK-PIEL-FRAMA-...3QQihZ005QQcategoryZ48673QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
does the cabriolet from krusell protect the screen with some type of plastic over it? or does it just expose the screen?
this is the one im referring to
http://cgi.ebay.com/Krusell-Leather...QQihZ008QQcategoryZ108604QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Is it just me, or are the Monaco and PDAir cases identical (including the same pictures!)??

looks absolutly fantastic, and lets you use the keyboard too.
Cases
Hello there. I have the silver aluminum case. I really liked the case after I got use to it. The only problem, my phone would freeze. Lock up totally. Only way out was to hard reset the phone. I know this sounds rediculous, but I've ruled out everything else. Ever since I stopped using the case my phone hasn't needed even a soft reset.
Currently I am using this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230007898731
But I just heard about this on XDA's site:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Cingular-8125-V...ryZ48673QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-Protex-Sk...0QQihZ010QQcategoryZ15036QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
has anyone tried it?
Might be good but how about the keyboard? the description doesn't explain how you might access it?
I think it can not use with tytn
I ordered something similar off of eBay for my 8525... http://search.stores.ebay.com/The-B...sopZ1QQfsubZ17QQftsZ2QQsaselZ50744590QQsofpZ0
For $5 you don't expect great quality, but it was made well enough, snaps into place, and protects the 8525 nicely. I bought the optional belt clip, but probably won't use it much, I fear it won't hold up.
Because they are 2 pieces, and makes it very easy to access the keyboard.
things is, i'm not sure it will fit the tytn, given that the button order on the tytn is wider than the 8525. i'm afraid i wont have access to the dial/end buttons...
Yes
You should read the 'Case Recommendation' thread, this is where this question belongs.
This is a knock off of the merit-line case. Has free shipping same case, but has a 'nub' for a belt holster that isnt very good. I left a lengthy review of my expirience with the case. Its cheap and I wouldnt bother getting it to protect your $500 or so phone! Others had simular expiriences as mine. This case is good if your a 'pocket' type of guy and only put ur fone in ur pocket. For belt and outside holsters. DONT GET IT.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273546&page=26
Id recommend b4 you buy anything off ebay to check your device and capability of things. Alot of these cases made in Asia and what not alot of the times NEVER fit your device. Id spend the extra money and get a legit case from:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/activecase/active-case-cingular-8525_2110.htm
or meritline..
http://www.meritline.com/trans-smoke-cover-for-htc-8525.html
To sum up, the cases: The tytn ones and the cingular 8525's have a 1mm difference and they wont fit properly even with tweaking. So pay close attention before you buy.
all of those plastic like cases are the same... also dont be fooled into the "carbon fiber" or "rubber hard case" unless you see a good picture or manufacture all they are are the plastic shells with different colors or texture...
the carbon fiber for example is nothing but painted on... you can see the paint marks inside... the rubber one is the same just with a rubber spray or so... i think this one is more useful... the good news is all the back case for these cases are the same... dont by into hte hype of the boxwave or other **** that charge you 30 bucks for... they are the same the only difference they might have there name stamped its still plastic that snaps in you can see the belt clip on the boxwave and the whole to be exactly the same as all those on ebay for 5 bucks.
I would not trust none of those case on the belt... i only wanted them because of the ability to use the keyboard the screen is not protected but the reste is good for pocket or other storage
Any good cases out there?

PDAir are now offering a flip-type black leather case ... 1st I've found.
Probably not the highest of looks - I prefer Covertec myself - but cheap enough (USD$28) and will have to do until the real thing comes along (I always wanted to say that )
I just got my o2 o2(o2 orbit2) yesterday, it fits krusell Orbit Case for HTC3300 perfectly - except the hole on the back doesnt fit camera :-( but anyway i didnt buy it to use it as regular camera. So far i'm happy.
Anyone already found some cases like the one supplied? I'm looking voor a leather one the only one I found is this one http://www.beyzacases.com/cat_vs9.cfm
Boxwave are also selling cases (and other stuff): http://www.boxwave.com/products/dlcase/htc-touch-cruise-designio-leather-case_3046.htm
The credit for finding this goes to Dave Fields who first posted a thread here about Boxwave accessories for the Touch Cruise.

I immediately found the belt clip case for the Samsung Blackjack. It is a great fit and a well protected case.
Hi,
I have an Orbit 2 and goy the Pdair flip case last week.
very good and came the next day after ordering
Only issue is the lights on the front are hidden by the case, but for me thats minor.
All other holes for buttons, 2 x camera etc are ok.
Would buy another.
Cost £15 with delivery
The case for the Moto-Q actually works quite well. I got the one that's made by Motorola.

Krusell cases
I've been un touch with Krusell , They don't have a case for the HTC Polaris ,
but they promise that "Soon" they will release products for the HTC Polaris,
they promise to let me know....
so I will keep u poseted.
I tried it in the Artemis aluminium case from Pdair and it fits but is a little tight to close the front once inside, camera hole is wrong but otherwise this is the style of case I want, its saved my Arte from many a fall, the case looks battered but the device is still as new - Mike
I have this case, and am impressed with it.

There is silicone case for polaris ?
I've been very happy with the Bugatti cases I bought for both my XDA Mini S and original Orbit...
http://www.bugatti-mobilecases.de/html/index.php?lang=EN
Bugatti don't offer a case for the Orbit 2/Polaris yet, so I mailed them to ask when it will be available.
Their marketing department told me that it's not available in Germany yet, doh! So I sent them a link to the German O2 site, I await their response with anticipation...
Update: "The XDA Orbit 2 is available in combination with a long-term contract. The device without a contract is extremely expensive. The estimated amount of sold cases does not justify the expense at the moment. Hopefully we will have other possibilities to receive an original device. Please sign up for the newsletter. This seems to be the best to do at the moment."

Piel Frama
I've been very happy with my previous Piel Frama case for HTC Touch
and I'm a bit quite disappointed by my Boxwave case (except a very good price for a general good quality)
However, in order to get the top of the top leather case for my new Polaris, I will order the new one at Piel Frama
For sure prices are high, especially in US$, but the appointment with quality is set !
There are lots of different thoughts and opinions. But i have never used any cases before. So any suggestions to me is welcome..

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.

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.

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.
