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.

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!!!

Your links are broken.
I have had a Vega Holster for pretty much all my previous cell phones, it does a great job of protecting them and looks great. You can get it in black too.
I couldn't find anyone in the US selling this great holster, they are handmade in Italy and the company is based in the UK.
I ordered through Orate, and it drop ships from the manufacturer via registered USPS in about 10 days for GPB 25 + GPB 5 P&P. Total was about $45.
Here's the link to Orate:-

Here's the link to Vega if you want more info
http://www.vega-holsters.com/Home.asp?ID=1
Also the Vega model number is 1R108.
No affialiation, just wanted to say that I got good service from a hard to find but great holster....

I had a Vega holster once.
How would I describe it? Excessive build quality! :shock: 8)
Agreed, they are very well made, but they take a beating and protect the phone very well.
- Tim
I used a Vega holster for my Sony Ericsson Z600 for a couple of years. Amazing quality -- same construction as the heavy duty leather holsters they make for guns. Last forever.
Only questions, though, using a Vega holster with an MDA:
1) is the ringing sound muffled? My Z600 was REALLY hard to hear when it was in the holster -- I depended on vibrate when it was holstered.
2) How easy is it to get the MDA out of the holster when it rings -- without getting your fingers all over the screen?
Great looking and beautifully made products -- but I'd only be interested in this were really a good functional accessory for the MDA...otherwise, no point.
direct link
tim, can you post a link directly to the Vega model number is 1R108 on the orate site. i have searched and canno tfind it and have emailed orate and received no reply.

1) I haven't notice the muffled ring, but I have it on vibrate 99% of the time.
2) It was a little tight at first, but a couple of nights stuffed with paper loosened it up. Also I had to put the phone in 'upside down' otherwise the battery cover was pulled off - By the way the design of the battery cover is one of the worst features of the phone! Screen 'dirt' was not a problem.
The main reason I got the phone was the protection, so many of the other cases don't protect the sides from knocks etc.

Go to link http://www.orate.co.uk/acatalog/i-Mate_K-Jam.html and scroll all the way to the bottom. Vega link is there. It doesn't show the model number, but I took that from the stamping directly on the back of my holster. Hope it helps.
I am surprised that Vega are still in business, it is so damn hard to buy their holsters in the US. I emailed them to let them know they need to beef up their re-sellers in the US, they didn't even bother to respond. If I had received a reply, I was going to look into the logistics of setting up shop here. Orate seem to be OK though. Not that it matters, but I found out that Orate place a drop-ship order with Vega and it is shipped from Vegas' warehouse directly to the you, with signed, delivery confirmation in a jiffy bag and bubble wrap. Seemed to work well.

How does this case attach to your belt? I can't tell.
from the item description:
>>>
This fully lined belt holster can be worn on the belt or simply used as a case. lt features an injection moulded nylon spring clip that locks on to the belt or, for a more secure fastening, the belt may be threaded through the slots and worn either horizontal or vertical to the belt.
When worn near the rear trouser pocket the holster is comfortable and the mobile phone is instantly accessible while sitting or walking. Designed to fit belts up to 4 cm width.

The Vega holster I've used with my SE Z600 is almost identical - just a bit small as befits the smaller phone - but it's the same construction.
The leather is fantastic - like what you'd get with a very thick, high quality belt, with incredibly durable and tight stitching. The clip looks like black plastic - but it's far tougher than ordinary plastic, being made of nylon. A flat tab on the clip slides into a slot in the back of the holster and has a couple of short raised posts on it that fit into corresponding holes (1/8" or so) in the back of the holster -- these lock the clip into the holster so it doesn't pull out by accident -- but you can lift the tab and disengage the posts from the holes easily when you want to, and slide the nylon tab out, removing the clip from the holster when desired. The reason you might want to do this would be to take advantage of the vertical or horizontal belt slots in the back of the holster -- If you don't want to use the nylon clip, you can thread your belt through the slots in the back of the case. Definitely harder than using the clip - but there's NO way the case will come off your belt that way!
Anyway - assuming you keep the clip on the phone - it's a good sized clip, easy to use and very effective. It's large enough to slip over anything from a narrow dress belt to a wide thick belt. The open end of the clip curves back, forming a closed loop when you're not holding it open against the springy tension of the nylon. Maybe that's hard to visualize from my description - but what that means is that you slide the clip over your belt, and as open end clears your belt, the material sort of "springs shut", effectively forming a loop around your belt. It simply will NOT fall off your belt accidentally.
You can also slip the clip over the edge of a pair of pants (if you don't have a belt on), and I regularly clipped it to the carrying strap on my equipment bag when I'd go to the dojo to practice.
I love the contruction, and it's an unusual and handsome case. It should last far longer than your phone.
My only concerns would be:
- the potential for the ringing sound to be muffled
- the difficulty in grabbing the phone out of the holster without inadvertantly pressing one of the buttons that I did not WANT to press
I'm a Vega fan in general, but I'm wondering if I would like a Krusell Cabriolet better for the MDA. I'd love to see one in person before making that decision!
Thanks for the help on the clip! Sounds like exactly the thing I am looking for as a second case.
How is the useability of the case specific to the MDA?

Ordered this case from the same company (orate.co.uk). They sent me the wrong case (1R164). This case is way to big for this phone. I see in your posting that you got another one model number that I'm assuming fits the MDA better. I emailed them 2 days ago, but have gotten no reply. Does anyone know of a company in the US to get this case from?
US Vega Vendor
I looked long and hard for a US supplier, with no luck, so I think you will have to resolve this with Orate.
When I called them to find out where my holster was, I got a good impression of the company, the owner (I think has name was Graham, but I can't be sure) answered all my questions.

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...
Re: Opinions on this wizard case? Seems to fit great and pro

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.
Cy
I think Krussel is the best. The prices are another story, this is about 50$.

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
That case doesn't protect the screen at all
Is it just me, or are the Monaco and PDAir cases identical (including the same pictures!)??
Monaco vs PDAir
More importantly, does anyone see a problem with one of these Case & Car charger combos on ebay?
has anyone ever got/seen one of these before?

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:

But I just heard about this on XDA's site:

Hey, I wanted to ask you what case do you use on your Tab. I'm going to get a messenger style bag for it to carry around, but still need some basic protection so which one should I get - Gel TPU Case ot Book cover styled case. Do you have any brand in mind that supports the sleep function correctly, as I tested one chinese knock off and it didn't work at all.

Re: Good case for the Tab IV
I have been using a rooCase Executive Portfolio type case for a while now [since mid-July], and have really been pleased with it. It's made of real leather, and holds up well with basic, day-to-day use. HTH
I got Inateck model TP1004 for only $6.99 several days ago when it's on sale. It seems that the promo code still works: HRUAQ2O4
It's a smart case and supports auto sleep and wake-up function.
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.
