In addition to the Vaja, Krusell and Brando cases. Is there something else out there that is not a leather case
Do you guys have a link for some cases?
I suppose with the case you cannot use the cradle, right?
What about the camera and keyboard?
I am interested in something like this http://www.expansys.com.gr/product.asp?code=115109&asource=IMATE_III_EU
Nutshell cases
I have bought a Nutshell case for my QTEK 9090. 2.5 Years ago I have bought a Nutshell case for my old and trusted XDA. Great quality cases, worth every penny . http://www.tuff-as-nuts.com
DjBac, Í've bought the following case:
http://www.pdashop.nl/product/3774/3614
You can still use the camera and when having the case "unlocked" you can even access your keyboard.
Henkjan
That's the case I am interested in too and found at expansys!!!
But how can you have access to the cam?
Thanx a lot!!!

Hi Siliconaddict,
Refering to the Nutshell case for your QTEK 9090, is it hard to pull the unit out of the case? Will your thumbpad slides out while u're pulling it out of the case?
I'm very interested in getting 1 for my XDA IIs.

I got the Case today!!
Great quality.. One question though...
Do you have the plastic transparent film between the keyboard and the top of the phone or just on top of the phone?
I hope you understand what I mead!!
Well i am looking for a cese to but can't decide yet what i want exactly. I had a palm Tungsten T and bought a piel frama leather case for it. And it was great quality.
But i can't decide if i buy one for my MDAIII.
Maybe someone has a piel frama and an MDAIII and can tell me what he/she thinks about it.

case for PDA2k
I bought the Krussell Case from the Imate store out of Saudi Arabia.
I suggest the Multidapt product line, this way you can switch out the clips that go on you belt or your pocket.
Well i don't think that case would do for me. I am realy intressed in that pielframa case. But one thing i worry is that if u carrie SD cards in it.
Are those things not pressing on the screen of your MDAIII.
I don't want scratches on my screen. I am looking for some good screen proctetors to.
But first the case.

The link that Ishnohiwa provided, seems to point to a Piel Frama.
Personally I've had a Krusell Multidapt with my o2 XDA II for months and never lost one SD card (I always carry my SD 1GB and Sandisk WiFi 0MB wherever I go). That's why I'll be sticking with Krusell when I get my o2 XDA IIs in the next couple of days.
In terms of screen protectors, I've had a chance to try many but none can match the eXiM Screen Protectors!!They rock!
Here's a link to a review on the Exim Screen Protectors on TheGadgeteer and another one by my good buddy Mike on Mtekk.

that is not cheap

There's also been some question as to the strength of the leather section that holds the device when the strap is unbuttoned when using the keyboard.
Some have even mentioned that leather does tend to stretch over time which wouldn't be good in this case (no pun intended)

The wizard has got magnets in it to do the landscape/portrait screen switching. You probably don't want to put your credit cards anywhere near it.

Not correct
Watch Mythbusters on Discovery
The magnetic strips in Bank and creditcards can take a lot more magnetic interference than those measly magnets can generate.
Hmm, don't like having to unbutton to use the keyboard
I've seen other flip (and book) cases where you don't have to unbutton to use the keyboard. If I wanted to do that, I'd keep my kayboard down my trousers.

You might well be right (which is why I said probably), but I'm not convinced that's conclusive. From the write up I've read of the program, static exposure had no affect, but waving the card though the field did. That's kind of the pattern you'd get from constantly opening and closing the case. Neither did they take into account partial corruption on a card with an already weak strip (e.g. worn). They also didn't do any long term exposure tests - only for one second. So not conclusive in my book - though no doubt it looked good for television.
I do know that my cards used to be regularly corrupted by carrying a security access card with weak internal magnets in the same wallet. And I tend to give more credence to real life experience than "infotainment" TV.
Hmmm, you might be right , I'm definetly going to check out your points as they sound viable, thank you for another perspective
So, back on topic, has anyone used the Peil Frama case?

Right now I am reviewing the Piel Frama case for the Bostonpocketpc.com website...the strap is needed to keep the pda in it's case. Without the strap you can slide out the keyboard. I's getting a little used to, but the quality is perfect.

Krusell Case for XDA Mini S Pro/ qtek 9100
Thanks for all for the help in ulocking my new xda mini s.
Well guys i found this case to be best and secure, and yes you can put credit card in this case, and am using one @ the moment. i have 3 left to sell YIM me.
Somewhat unhappy with the Piel Frama Wizard case
Here's my comments written in an email sent to Piel Frama.
"Hi,
I just received the 3rd case I’ve ordered from you. I have nothing to complain about regarding the swift delivery as usual.
I have been very happy with my previous 2 well designed cases one for HP iPAQ 4150 the other for my QTEK S100 but I’m not so thrilled this time.
This time I purchased a case for the new QTEK 9100 Smartphone for €60. Although I realise the difficulty in designing a case for this Smartphone model I immediately noticed a major flaw.
I cannot smoothly close my case when I have my headset plugged in at the bottom. I have to force the button in place which leaves my lid at an untidy angle. I would have expected the same solution to this as was found on my last QTEK S100 case where you had a small half circle cut out in the latch that closes the case.
Also I would have preferred the magnet closing mechanism/button of the QTEK S100 case. But as you did not make room (the cut out) for my headset plug on the QTEK 9100 case I guess I have to be grateful for the old school button which means that I can at least force the case closed. I should also be grateful that I did not choose a more expensive material this time. It takes about 10 times as long to close this case compared to my old well designed S100 case, which I’m not very happy about at all as you can imagine.
I guess I’ll have to trim the case design myself (trim the hole for the headset plug which is somewhat askew as well as cutting out a half circle in the closing latch/leather band so that I can close the damn thing, excuse my language) and possibly ruining the case in the process but there’s nothing else to do as I cannot live without headset for my phone.
Unfortunately I was not able to find an end user review in English of this particular Piel Frama case before I ordered (I like to keep informed of what I’m spending my cash on) and still can’t. I’m sure that the first user review must come down hard on this design failure which would have been easily solved and which has been solved before.
I will be better informed next time I order. And I hope you make the necessary design changes to the QTEK 9100 before any end user reviews show up.
Sincerely,"
In addition to what I have said above I should mention that I think I will attach some velcro to the back of my QTEK 9100 (a pity to have to leave glue residue on the device) and the inside of my Piel Frama case so that I don't risk it falling out when using the keyboard. The fit of my case is not so snug as has been implied.
I'll make sure to post any reply I get from Piel Frama.
haz4u - you say the Krusell cases you have fit credit cards - I tried this in teh shop and teh slot is too narrow - have you actually tried this yourself - you may find the slot is just too small...

Dont worry about glue residue, use windex and it will rub right off.
btw windex is the best to use for sticky things, for example gum in carpet(or hair), sticker glue or tint glue left on windows... whatever.. you get the point.

As that thread says, they're cheaper elsewhere. Shame you can't use the keyboard without taking it out of the case.

theres this piel frama case and another company's case that hold the wizard like that from the bottom and allow you to use the keyboard. But i have yet to see an image that shows exactly how its holding on to it. If anyone has used one or seen one, can you please explain to me how its holding on to the device.

Piel Frama claim it uses the tension of the leather of the sides, but in practice I'd suggest the answer is nothing once the strap is undone. With the rounded "hull" shaped case and profile of the Wizard, anyone can see that sideways pressure would force the device out, not in! And, of course, leather stretches over time... It was suggested to Piel Frama that the ideal way would be to use a retaining rod to go into the stylus holder, but looks like they haven't acted on that. So I can't see how any of Piel Frama's claims work in practice. Hence my question about the "promised" review above. Other cases use a strip of clear plastic over the keyboard to hold everything in place.
what would be a good design is a case that replaces the battery cover. The battery cover would be part of the ase and leave the bottom exposed so you can access the thing to take the battery cover off... i think that would hold well. along with the tension ofcouse... maybe if i get my hands on one i'll retrofit the battery cover/door into the case.

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$.

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:

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

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.

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 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

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 !

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.

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!

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
