BEST Case for PDA2K/XDAIII ?
I'm having hard time deciding as to what would
be the best case for my PDA2K. The case that comes with it
is very uncofortable and hard to take the pda quickly out of it
when you have a call.
Up till now, I've found 4 cases that were designed
especially for the i-mate. I would have preferred an
aluminium hightech looking case as opposed to elegant leather
case which kinda 'hides' the gadget, but all I found was leather
cases. I also don't know what would be more confortable the flip
or the book style type.
speically built and suited for the PDA2K but there is'tas well, as my preferance i

They all look good. what do you think? Also, any good aluminium case for the PDA2K? The ones I saw all fit only the imate 2020
Thanks guys
I had info from the export dept. at Pielframa that they will be previewing an alu case for the BlueAngel any time now.
I just ordered this
http://www.suntekstore.com/leather-case-o2-xda-iii-bi-folder.html
It's cheap and looks like the PDA clips into the case. No plastic over the keyboard either.
I'll post to let everyone one know how pleased I am with my purchase! :wink:
Any pouch type of cases available?

There is also this CASE
and THIS ONE
I just preordered this one:

outz,
When are you expecting your Innopocket case? I have a few questions:
1. Are the application buttons above the D-Pad accessible through the case? It looks like they will be hidden.
2. How is your WiFi reception? Talk is that WiFi in general with the Blue Angel isn't very good, but I'd think putting the device in a "metal box" will make it even worse.
Keep us posted.
Thanks!
I didn't think about the Aluminium case will block WiFi making the poor reception of the PDA2K even poorer (can it get worse than that? lol)
My guess is that an aluminium case may make the WiFi even poorer, I think I'll go a leather case as this seems to be the only viable choice.

That's what I'm thinking. I was hoping that Vaja (http://www.vajacases.com) would make a semi-rigid leather case for the Blue Angel as they did for the XDA II, but when I emailed their support group, I was told they will not be making a case for the Blue Angel at all.
Bummer...

Nice! I'm still waiting for mine.
I just received my innopocket aluminum case. It's great! custom cutouts for the blinking leds, 5-way pad, answer/hangup, speaker, mic, ir, camera button, record, volume, power button, headphones, reset, and even a slider to cover up/uncover the camera when you need it. You are able to flip the front door upwards and slide out the kboard when you need it.

I just ordered an alu case for my PDA2K LINK TO ALU CASE , for 24 euros it's not too much either
Because I ordered the JAM yesterday at that shop too, and they have to ship it from the Netherlands to Belgium, I told them to send it together with the JAM next week.
I'll post some pics for you guys next week...
edit: just saw they got a lot off types of cases for the PDA2K...
Just wish they had one for the JAM too :-(
that looks nice, do u kno if there are more pics available and pics from u would be great... do they ship to the US?
They ship everywhere in the world. Cause they have to ship it for me from the Netherlands to Belgium (not as far as US :lol: ), but I don't know what the shipping fee will be for US, you might send them a mail at [email protected] and ask them.
As soon as I got it (can be any moment) I'll send you some pics.
I just received the same case from Brando (HKG) and it is simply too bulky (I have cases made by the same company for the Treo 600 & HP 2215), but the one for the PDA2K is way too thick IMHO. The upside is that it affords very good protection while allowing good amount of button access.
Would this case be much more like it?!
Anyone can help me to choose between the upper one of VW_ELM of this one:
http://www.innopocket.com/web/showProductDetail.asp?ID=126
The innopocket one is of new design (flip) but it definitely looks a lot more fitted than the one with flip on the side.

So, the other one (Brando of PDAir) is very large fitted around the device? That should mean that it is not very usefull!
Is it also not usefull, because the device isn''t very easy to slide out?
Can anybody state if the case not from innopocket is usefull and good fitting? Or isn't it?

Any loss of phone/Wi-Fi reception with the Alu case on?
Hi!
Have you noticed any decrease of phone or Wi-Fi reception with the Alu case on, as was the problem with the XDAII Alu cases?
Thank you!

Anyone has the metal case already? Was wondering about some experiences!!!
Anyone has some experience with Innopocket? Was wondering how long shipping would take!
I always carry my qtek 9090 in my pants, I don't want a whole case for my qtek for it adds to much thickness. What I am looking for is some sort of plastic lit to protect the screen, something like the lit that came standard with the iPaq 38xx / 39xx, does anyone know if this already exists for the qtek 9090?

I'm thinking about getting one of these aluminum cases too and was wondering the same thing. Do these effect reception?
I'm more concerned about phone reception than Wi-Fi. I currently have an aluminum case for my Toshiba e755 PPC, and it hasn't really hurt my wifi reception too much (then again, I'm usually within 15 feet of my router).

Wow, I really like that case (with the clear plastic front). Couple questions...
* I noticed it has a hole in the back for the camera, can you take pictures okay with the case on?
* Can you pull the keyboard out without problems with the case on?
* The case I have for my Toshiba e755 left a few scratch marks, did this one do the same to the blue angel?
* Any complaints about the case?
Thanks!

Looks like there's a problem with the microphone hole.
There is a problem with the mic as in no hole at all. You either have to open the case to speak or drill a small hole as I have done to remedy the problem. I hope the mfg will correct this issue for others.
I have one right now... but it's a cheap one from Ebay. When I first bought it, it fit real nice and tight but now over a month or two it's getting loose and slides around a bit.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for the following:
1. It doesn't expose the metal part of the camera on the back cover.
2. Fits snug on the phone indefinitely (is this possible?).
... and if possible one that isn't really sticky.
Thanks!
Silicon case!
I was bought one silicon case on HTC STORE http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956 and is great. Cost 20$.
hi, i have a clear one of these, think i would buy the grey next time. its also a cheap ebay item. its very snug, not as flexible (which makes removal a bit of an effort) and nowhere near as sticky as some silicon cases.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Soft-Silicone...h=item110357833639&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
hope this helps
Yeah i bought one of those that bl1nky recommended. The only thing i can say is that the fit around the bezel edge is not as good as other 'softer' silicon covers.
In my case particularly, the right hand edge is badly formed and seems to pull away from the HD bezel.
In addition i find that locating and using the power switch to be troublesome and it's this that i find most annoying.
My personal quest for the perfect case continues....
Thanks for the suggestions... I'm also in the search of a perfect case. You wouldn't think it would be this hard!
I am using this from boxwave. The fit is nice and not sticky. I went with the clear one.

They look the same from what I can tell in the pictures... but you never know on Ebay it could be a cheaper knock-off of the original. I don't know because I haven't purchased the one from Ebay. I will be getting mine today or tomorrow from Boxwave and I'll take some pics of it and stuff and update here.
Is it the non-transparent one with small camera hole? (I'm in the boarding shcool where ebay is locked) If so, it's good, but rather thick, good for protection, but will make your HD thicker (around 16mm). If not, just remove this post.

Ok so I got the case and have been using it for two days now. It is pretty damn nice actually. It fits well, not too tight and not too loose either. It's not sticky like the cheap Ebay one I have so I can easily slide it in and out of my pocket. I got the smoke color. It's clear and shiny so it suits the HD well. I like being able to see the phone through the case as well.
can try this silicon case from Capdase

Hi everyone,
I'm overprotective of my devices, so once I saw this I bought it.
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000630&products_id=17582
It comes in black or silver and with or without a transparent plastic protection over the screen.
nice case. but the thing i don't understand about these cases is that they do not protect the screen, so they are farily useless right ? I mean you can't chuck the phone in you bag with this case ?
There are 2 models of PDAir aluminum case: one with plastic protective screen, and another without the protective screen.
PDAir: How long does shipping take?
I have used pdair before - very fast service 6 working days from date of order to delivery in the uk - have had 2 cases in the past - both excellent
Thanks, i've just ordered this one:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000630&products_id=18869 (silicon case)
When someone gets his, can he please post his feedback? Is it comfortable in your pocket, is it metalic from the inside (hence may hurt the device), etc...

dont worry about that，quality really good. cant be break easy，and feel nice when you hold it，smooth put on face.
I have the Smasung OEM case and it works beautifully....for me I think covering the screen is more important than covering the aluminium back. The first perceived issue with the OEM case "flap" is really not an issue at all as mine has never flapped open becuase of the way it is carried. In edition, it can be positioned in either landscape or portrait mode. It is a good idea to keep the rubber grip edge on the case clean so it continues to grip any surface. This device is such a beautiful design that I find the Samsung case compliments it very well.

TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane, it's a different material from silicone.
Generally firmer and has a more rigid structure.

YES! I can't believe it took this long but I'm happy. I'll probably order the eBay one above just to get something on my TFP and then hope that maybe some higher quality with different colours becomes available.
Just bought one! Glad to finally see a case like this.
I ordered one off ebay. I can't believe how long it took for these to be released. I would prefer TPU or a plastic snap-on case to soft silicone, but its a helluvalot better than nothing.

How is the case? Is it snug and does it stay on?
