Sena Ultraslim Leather Pouch (Slipcase) Images and First Impressions - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories

I received my Sena Ultraslim Leather Pouch today. I was looking for a plain slipcover to put my Touch Pro 2 into. I wasn't looking for something big and bulky and protective. I wanted something thin and light with minimal bulk to keep the lint and key scratches off my TP2 while it's in my pocket. Comes in a plain box with a soft cotton draw string case and a note card with instructions on how to remove it from the case as well as a warning stating that as a real leather product it would be tight at first and will loosen up with use. It passes the leather smell test and the leather is soft and supple and feels nice.

Boy were the right about the tight fit. Very first use it was quite tight and very difficult to get the Rhodium into and out of the case. I have a Best SKins Ever on the front and rear of my phone. If you've never used one of these skins it's different then most in that it has a slightly rubbery texture. The added grip of the BSE and extra thickness I'm sure adds to the difficulty of removing the phone. After just an hour with the case it has already loosened up a little. It's still not easy to get the phone in and out of the case but it is definitely much easier already then the first time I used it. Hopefully the trend will continue.
You can see the case adds very little bulk to the phone. It's much thinner and less bulky then the OEM case that came with my phone. The stitching seems well done, even and straight. The materials feel like quality materials. Only complain on the fit and finish is how the corners don't quite contour to the shape of the phone. It's just a very minor quibble. All in all I'm quite happy with my purchase. I'll be sure to update this after some extended usage after I get to learn how it is to use every day.

Thanks for posting these pictures. You are right; the corners could fit a little tighter with a larger radius. I have a feeling that it would look much better as the leather stretches a little. Your TP2 looks like it is not sitting all the way to the bottom yet.
BTW. Your OEM case does not look bad at all. Too bad that my Tilt 2 did not come with any case.

Great review !
Very useful and nice pics
Thanks a lot

After only one day of use and the case has already conformed to the shape of my TP2 and is much easier to get it in and out of. Taking the phone out now is really easy, grab the phone by the side and push up from the bottom (detailed in the instructions) gets it half way out and you grab the case and pull it off. Hopefully it will hold up to long term use. It's pretty much exactly what I wanted for my phone. Much more pocket friendly then the HTC OEM case.

Thanks for the review and pics, i'm thinking of getting one of these posted to the UK so a good review is very much appreciated!
Cheers

i ordered the tan one friday night...cant wait for it !!!! looks much better than the one that came with it.

Thanks so much for the review and pics. Off to order one!

this is what I get...

So I think I know what happened... there was a brief period where their site was down (domain renewal) and that is apparently the time when my work's proxy server cached the site. Now all i get is the cached version from the proxy server. When I pull up senacases.com on my phone I get the site. bah!

Thanks a ton... and coupon code!
Hey guys,
First thanks for the review and case link... I ordered a tan one and can't wait to get it rolling... also
DeoreDX,
Thanks for the mention on the BSE as well... I ordered one of those too.
I've got some info though for those looking to buy this SENA case.
COUPON CODE: PCWIPNK11​
20% discount, or $6.00 off purchase price, plus the standard shipping turned out to be $28.98. Original price of the case is $29.99.
So free shipping + $1.01 off. Not as much as I hoped but certainly saves a bit.
Hope this helps some people out!
Thanks again for the info DeoreDX!

after a week of using this case I must say it's very pocket friendly and it seems to be durable.
very stylish and unique.
I ordered a tan one and it works great to protect the phone...
I'm not sure what a drop onto cement from my pocket would do but i'm sure it would be far less than a naked tp2.
thanks!

I bought the black one and love it but I'm really eyeballing the tan one hard. Sort of wishing I had bought the tan one myself. I swear the black one must be camouflaged and blends into everything and is impossible to find when I set it down lol

I get Sena cases website fine. They are a fabulous company. I was in a wreck several years ago, ejected from a car at 50 mph. The case save my Pocket PC of those days. The tab fell off a few days later. I emailed Sena to see if i could get it fixed. They shipped me a new one with a metal tab free in 2 days. I am a permanent customer.

Thanks for the review & I admit it's what I was looking for w/o realizing that was what I was looking for!

That link works for me, although I have no interest in this sleeve; I prefer to keep mine on my belt, with belt loops for secure attachment.

God those are ugly. Why would one go out of ones way to buy a beautiful device and the stick that on it?
what would you guys recommend as a decent protective yet slimline case for this device, preferably allow you to use the device whilst it's in the case. I've ordered the D2 but am deciding on what case to get

Invisishield
Wouldn't invisishield still require a case? It looks like the screen would still be very susceptible to dings, etc. that would kill the handwriting recognition.
I ended up ordering this:
http://www.blueunplugged.com/p.aspx?p=138216
and one of the silicone skins above. Got the leather case on me now. Pretty nice and a tight fit. Right side of it covers the end call button a bit but other than that it's all right. Would prefer if the leather was a bit thinner on the screen as it feels like it's recessed now. Regardless of that though I can still hit everything I want to on the screen so that's fine. The flip lid is hard and solid (must have thick card or something in it) so the screen is protected easily when it's shut. Also comes with space for memory cards and other plastic cards. Supplied with a removable screw on belt clip too! Doesn't add much bulk or weight to the phone and slips in nicely into my jeans pockets.
The best silicon cases are made by Capdase. I got my case for my HD a month ago. I checked, they don't have any yet but I am sure it will be available soon. What I will do is get a cheap replacement for now and wait for Capdase to come out with one. The one I have is non slippary and dust proof and and and it slips into my pocket nicely. Other silicon cases sticks to cloths and it's hard to get out of your pocket. It's not cheap, mine cost around $80 HKD which is around 6.50 GBP or 8 Euros. Hope this helps.

Nope.. I had one protecting my Diamond for 7 months... didnt effect ANYTHING. I dropped it a few times as well.
The IS is indeed very good
I have only seen it on a number if iPhones but it is as strong as they claim
We even tried the compass/knife test and scratched the hell out of it...or so we thought
It's very durable and did not damage the phone at all - Only downside is by the time it comes out (unless it is already), we'll all probably have a few light markings on it - no matter how well we keep it.
Something to note is the TD1 had a horrible procedure to apply it because of its curves/or lack of them ... I feel the TD2 will be much easier but lets see
Received my silicone case from xell_uk today ordered on the 30th April. Have to say it's a lot better than I thought it would be! Fits the D2 perfectly. Nice sized cut outs so you can easily access the ports and stylus and is snug and secure. Buttons are slightly more accessable as well compared to the other leather case I ordered. Device does look quite neat in this jacket too!

As requested... Pretty good fit if I do say so
Decent sized openings as well for port and stylus. Not bad for under £5 delivered.
in Taiwan , we also got a grey one
and I bought it with other 2 color (b&w) cost 90 NTD. (ABOUT 2~3 USD)
and I thought the grey one is the best on Diamond2....

I've ordered my IS. Should arrive in a few days. http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
I don't get it. Isn't the screen the most important part of the device? Why protect the back and sides only?
Can someone recommend a solution to this?
FYI all: I got the silicone case, and it DOESN'T fit perfectly around the device. On the left the case is a bit loose, so you can see the device peeking... this can be seen in pictures of the silicone casing everywhere. So be aware...

badass cheap holster

Having lost my Kaiser in a cab *twice* using a holster with just a belt clip (one slid off, the other snapped) I was very happy to find a case for it that had solid belt loops. I used it for my Raphael which I never lost but because the Raphael was a little thinner I couldn't really feel the vibration. But it was a good case. So I get the Rhodium and it doesn't fit in this thing so I set out to try to track one down -- first Apple, then Radio Shack, AT&T, Best Buy; no luck. And the ones they did have minus the loops were like thirty bucks. Yeah right! I live in Manhattan by the way.
Finally yesterday I found one of those nice African men who sell knockoff handbags and cheap sunglasses (and cell phone cases...) and asked him what he could do for me and he produced this which fit perfectly, asked for $7. I could have gotten him down to $5 but I was so psyched that I didn't haggle with him. The holster has no apparent identification but if one of you has a link for this case that I recommend that might be helpful here. Or if any of you really want this and can't find it I'll buy a couple more from this guy. I even took a picture for you:

There's no way any of you have a better holster but if you think you do, which you don't (at least not as reasonably priced), here's the official place for you to share hot holster pictures.

Yes i have a caselogic that's "real leather" it cost $15..Very true i don't have to remove my entire belt to get it off lamo. The one clip it has is hard enough to take off my belt. ....It looks exactly like yours but of course that is the whole intent of knock offs.....I prefer real leather over pleather or what ever material that is ...Sorry my friend.... it is not real leather lol But i am not hear to bash you but to congratulate you on a case of your liking from a "African American" lol By the way....they are just African "Nigerian"......

Ebay.com is your friend. I seen the same one go for $1-$3
Still not better then EASECASE IMO, but for that price it does look good. The guy above me said eBay? Hmm, time to search...Lol
If I find it off eBay then I can have it as a backup case.
i bought the exact same one on ebay for the exact same reason.

Thanks for that price, I can't go wrong. Ordering one now!
I hate cheap leather cases. Most have exposed corners like that and fall apart quickly.
That one looks like the one I purchased several months ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4058856&postcount=71
I have purchased another one that just as decent and cheap too. I will post pics when I get my camera back from a friend.
yo my man, you may consider buying a new belt as well.
Found a similar awesome leather case with an absolute PERFECT fit at my local flea market for $4.95!
I was quite upset when I got my Tilt 2 and it came with everything but an extra stylus, carrying case, and headphones.
The belt holster posted earlier seems like a very good price for a solution, but I was browsing around and found this:

it's 5 dollars more unfortunately but it's OEM . The things I do just to have a brand, sigh!

I bought the same case as in the original first post (buying them for 2 years as I lost my samsung D600 phone one week after buying it due to no belt loops) and the case I received was the one in the post I am quoting now. OEM, yes, but tilt 2 will not fit. I traded the HTC OEM case for my ice case I have now. Total investment 8-10 bucks.
BTW, the baddass cheap case is cheap and more like a disposable case as the belt loops rip and the corners wear. Good price for a 3-4 month case though. I stock up when I find them that cheap.
im using my old mogul case and it fits perfectly. 0 dollars.
I bought almost the exact same case from a local mall kiosk. Works wonderfully (much smaller then the HTC Case I used to use for my HD). Also my body glove has been shelved as well.

[Review] Alternative Folio Case for TF

Quick Review...yes its copied from the other thread that I posted in. But I figure plagiarizing my own stuff is ok. Plus, there are pictures now!
Material: Definitely not real leather. Is PU Leather but doesn't feel "cheap" in the hand either! Inside of the case is a velvety "soft" material...I guess a cloth version of suede is the best way to describe it. (Definitely not Alcantara like the stuff I have in the bucket seats of my car.)
Workmanship: Can't complain here either surprisingly! I was expecting it to be well, just ok....but the stitching is straight and even, uniform distance from the edges (yeah I'm sure there are tenths of mm variations but...nothing distracting.) Holes for camera, proximity sensors, buttons, etc. are PERFECTLY aligned when the TF is properly inserted.
Closure: Magnetic...decent snap to it. There's magnets on BOTH ends of the case so it is quite secure.
Holding Mechanism: One of the weaknesses of this case. It has a flap that is on the landscape edge facing into the spine of folio case. Should have put a magnet or two in there to keep the flap more securely closed. Or Velcro. I think I'm going to add some velcro there myself. On the other hand, I think it is far better to have the flap on this side than along one of the portrait edges of the Tablet.
Stand angles: 2 actually, one inverted "low position" suitable for typing. One high angle for casual viewing I guess.
Conclusion: 1 thumb up--not two--because of the ridiculous pricing on these cases, $28 including shipping. Seriously, these things can't cost more than $5 in China where they are made.

Looks like there's a cutout in the tuck in flap but no cutout on the main cover. My guess is you can charge the transformer while in the case but that the cover has to be open.
Where did you get it? Was this one of the generic eBay ones?
I just got this case today (took about two weeks to arrive), and I'm thoroughly satisfied. It has holds for everything, even the Micro SD slot. Most importantly, the Transformer feels protected.
I just received mine today. I bought the brown version. It fits OK but overall the case is not of the highest of quality for instance there is a finger size mark on the front of the case. Can't help thinking in a couple of weeks the transformer will be slipping inside of the casehousing.
The listing on eBay said leather and I am going to complain and request a partial refund because it is definately not leather being some kind of ruberised finish and a joke of an attempt to show leather grain. I feel like I have been mislead....

Why are there so many people trolling the "FolioGuard" case in everyone else's threads? WTF? People KNOW there's the FolioGuard case. The point is THIS ISN'T THE FOLIOGUARD CASE AND IS A REVIEW OF A DIFFERENT CASE.
SoCalTiger, I got this one from eBay. Here is the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123#ht_5978wt_1018
I'm beginning to wonder whether this one IS genuine leather and NOT PU leather at all. I've "aired" it a good number of days and it STILL smells/feels like leather. The patterned marks don't seem to be pressed/printed into the case at all. There's a few other tests I can "run" to see if its real leather or not (including the "match" test, but I don't really want to ruin the case either).
Thanks!

Can you send/post the link for the one you ordered that you are not happy with? There DEFINITELY was NO option for "another color material" for this case. Just the variation in stitching color.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Asus-Eee-Pad-...I&otn=3&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=419235527009776241
3 different colours. Think I saw your link to the seller originally or you posted on the same thread I was reading. They were selling different colours under another listing. Anyway from the pictures you posted it is identical to mine... I think the ebay listing is misleading regarding the material.
Are you sure it isn't leather? I haven't tried the melt vs. scorch test on it yet so I'm not 100% sure. It feels like a really thin layer of leather over a harder backing...

Okay, that's it. I'm going to report every single one of your posts to have them deleted. All you are doing it trolling with your links to the FolioGuard.
100% certain its not leather. Got a reply from the the seller saying it is pv leather (I understand this to be a man made material and will never have been anywhere near a cow) which is fine but they should state this al the way through the listing. I have asked them to amend the listing and requested a part refund. If not I will report them to eBay and see what think
I am sure most people would be happy with the case and i agree with your review it does a reasonable job of proteting the Asus. The stitching is good but there is a small defect on the front of my case which
i like this case, might have to get one
well I am happy with the case seeing as i have just received a full refund. I do not need to return it either. So feels like a bargain now! Just shows you it is worth complaining. I hope they amend the listing to make it clear this is not leather for other people.

You sir...are awesome! LOL. I should request a partial refund too! And I got 2x of them. Can't beat free!

My case arrived this weekend, but I guess I don't need to do a review either.
It's definitely a decent case for an alright price. Build seems good and does the job perfectly.
No complaints really.
Anybody know if this is the same case? http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=51

Thinnest Case?

Alright so, I'm the type of person who never puts cases on their phones..
The least I would ever do would be an zagg shield.
Though, with the evo 3D I'm sorta feeling a case now.
I'm looking for a really... really thin case.
My friend has the infuse on at&t and she has a really thin case.
It feels almost metal..and only covers the back and the sides.
But it as almost no bulk to the phone..
Anything similar to that for the evo 3d?
thanks!
heres what i bought:

there is also the casemate but its cost more money for almost the same product:

How do you like it?
I personally wouldnt recommend them as they provide no protection at all if you drop the phone face down or it lands on the corner edge. I would go with a TPU case if you need something that is thin, as they wrap around the edges and protect the phone better. I'm not just saying this because I own TPU-Cases either Buy them from whoever you want.. just my opinion of course.
I have the matte back black case from tpu-cases.com and highly recommend them:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7&sort=20a&page=1
it's thin, fits perfectly, aesthetically looks great, free fast shipping (they are a U.S. seller so there's no wait time unlike the overseas stuff) with email confirmation, all at a great price. Their current line up have the camera holes lined up and as it's raised, there is protection for the 3D's dual cameras when you lay it flat on a table. The shutter and volume buttons are covered but access is not a problem for me.
Hope this helps.
I have a smoke argyle TPU already. I bought it since I got the phone 3 days before release and an Otterbox wasn't out yet. Once rooting my phone I realized how much I loved how thin it was.
i just bought this one i thought it looked really cool and it cheap so if i dont like it no big loss http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Metal-Case-Cover-HTC-EVO-3D-Sprint-H153-/320721844909?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aac82faad
I bought this one and really like it. It fits very tightly and looks really nice in person. It snaps together securely and if I have any complaints, this tight and secure fit is it. I had to take it off once to do a battery pull and I thought I was going to destroy it getting it off. If you like to frequently swap out spare batteries, this is probably not the case for you. Other than that, I can't find any faults with it.

i like the case alot, fits perfect. It adds no bulk at all which is what i wanted cause i also never used a case on my previous phone just the Zagg shield, i have full zagg on along with this case so the tops and bottom where the case does not cover is still protected. Also i have a tpu case and the otterbox commuter, i use each depending on the kind of things i do that day.
I'm with you, I've never used a case and I always used to bad mouth people who made their brand new phone ugly as **** buy putting a case on it. Hell, I even got my roommate to go naked with his Droid X.
BUT, I dropped my new baby Evo3D a few times already and since I'm no longer rich, I thought, I'd put a case on it. Got one of these bad boys from ebay, $2.19 shipped
The fit is perfect and it doesn't look bad either. Adds minimal thickness. I also ordered a ballistic case just to try it out...we'll see though. I don't want the phone to look like a brick

I had that case also and agree, very nice and doesn't add much bulk at all. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, getting it off the phone is ridiculously difficult IMO. Also, I didn't like the fact that instead of having smaller, precise cutouts for just the camera lenses and the flash, it had one giant cutout in the back for the entire camera module (leaves the area more susceptible to scratches IMO). So I returned it and got a case from tpu-cases.com. Different material but adds about the same amount of neglible bulk to the phone. More importantly for me though, it doesn't have the one giant cutout in the back but rather, instead, has smaller cutouts just for the two camera lenses, flash, and speaker.
how about this? htc official case

I think the case mate barely there is the thinnest case out there. I got a couple of copycat cases from here:
Case-Mate barely there copycat
Another Case-Mate barely there copycat
I bought both of them in black. They turned out to be identical. Both are the same thinness and have the soft touch paint in the back. Now I got 2 of them.... and can only use one..... pushing my wife to get an EVO 3D as well when her contract is up in Nov.
I have a case like the CaseMate Barely There on my 4th Gen IPod Touch and love it. For my 3D, u have all 3 Otterbox cases and use them for different activities.

I have this one, and in a few colors. Really like it, too. For some reason, I get obsessed with trying lots of new cases, so I have about a dozen, probably.

Extensive Cruzerlite Androidify Review (gtfih)(pics)(gudstuff)(new juicy watermelon)

im extremely picky about things like this. first off, hands down, fully impressed. from the packaging presentation, to the quick shipping, and the product quality.
surprised noones posted pics of the packaging, etc from this company. bigs ups to murphreesboro.
Im really digging the droid "etched" designs. The overall feel is a matte feel on the back, glossy on the edges and inside the "cuts". In certain light the glossy cuts and edge give a very interesting appeal to the case. The raised edge around the camera is a big plus as you wanna protect that cam glass deep in there as much as possible. No problem popping out the stand, easy. All buttons are easily pressable, and the thickness of the casing isnt too much to make it a hassle or annoyance. Power button is properly cut with no overlaps. My monoprice cable fits snug and easily in the port, no trimming necessary with this case.
the fitment is very snug, i see no problems in the future of this getting loose or flopping off. The thickness of the tpu adds no incredible bulk, i prefer slim and sleek protection. Overall, supremely impressed. Ive put the xacto knife away, no cutting or modding necessary for this one. For basically $10, you cant go wrong. Imma grab a lime green one too!!
these following pics taken with the LTE
packaging, zip lock bags, business cards, etc. didnt arrive squished up or anything out of the ordinary.

got my new juicy green case in. anyone got a taste for watermelon?
i love ittt!! I'm soo diggin the green. its got a nice green glow around the edges in the right light. very hypnotic.
the blackness of the lte's back casing gives depth in the rear as the darkness comes slightly through the deep cuts of the androids, very cool effect

Did you buy if the cruzerlite.com or amazon and Why you no post links
Wow that looks like a cheap plastic pos.....sorry op nice review
I bought from CruzerLite directly, and used code "xda" to get an extra dollar off. $11 shipped I believe. I've never owned a case because I hate them, but this one is incredibly awesome!

How long did the shipping take?
I have a few...great cases.
Fit is perfect and they look great.
The power button takes getting used to but otherwise one of the best cases to keep overall size down and maintain the form of the phone.
I have the seidio surface holster which this fits into perfectly.

heres a good video review
They had a buy 2 get 1 free with free shipping last I looked, not there now Was like $20 for 3 shipped
Edit: Code is B2G1. $22.70 for 3 cases shipped!
I just got mine in the mail, and so far I'm very happy with it. It fits great, looks and feels like it could be part of the phone itself.
Cutouts are great, I have no problems getting to the keys, and cutouts still feel tight enough that I don't think they will collect dust under there. I kind of wish there was no cutout for the kickstand (since I don't use it), and I think that opening is large enough to trap lint and loose tobacco from my pockets.
The finish is pretty hard and smooth, though not shiny (as you can see from the original poster's pictures). Kinda feels like the back of Samsung Epic.
The ridges on the sides are great, the phone feels more secure in my hand.
Case doesn't seem to add too much bulk (subjectively, of course). Still feels very thin and light.

It took one week to arrive from the moment I placed the order. I placed the order on the holiday though, so that likely slowed my delivery.

So between this and the Diztronic, which adds less bulk/size?

I own both cases and i would say they are very similar. You cant go wrong with either case and neither one adds much bulk at all to the device.

If you do not have amazon prime I would get them from the brand store @ cruzerlite.com they offer free shipping after 25 USD for domestic orders
How many others had issues with their power button, constantly turning itself off when trying to turn the screen on, seems to get stuck, even though none of the case touches the button...

It seems it may be a defect in some of the back's of the evo 4g lte as it happens on other cases also . Here is a little info from the diztronic problem

FYI Amazon also offers free shipping on any order $25 or more, since it qualifies for Amazon's SuperSaver program (called something like that).
