Do anyone see the silicone case of XDAIIs?
I think i don't need to use the keyboard. Anyone agree with me?
Yeah, the keyboard seems a bit pointless after the inital "gimick" factor, my keyboard is really loose and needs some attention, i want a good case for mine to.... Any1 got any ideas
They make a silicone case for the MDAII... might be able to "modify" this version for the PDA2K...

i don't use the keyboard, i would like to have a silicone case too...
maybe modifiyng the xdaII/2020 case....
I just bought the Brando case after using the Piel Fama case for several months. The case is very secure, holds my MDA3 in place, and still allows access to all the keys. The front flap is hard and protects the screen too. I'm quite happy with it. Maybe the Brando case would be a good alternative.

I ordered the Brando Hard Case for IIs, hope to be receive by beginning of next week :lol:
I got the monaco leather case for the 8125 from Extreme PDA:
http://www.extremepda.com/page/XPDA/PROD/cingular_8125_accessories/CING8125FLIPCASE
Even though a lot of people said they liked it and it seemed to be the most ideal for constant use, the bottom line is after a week I can't stand having it on my 8125. Here's what I realized:
- Even though it allows the keyboard to slide out, actually holding the device with the case flip behind it makes it tough to type comfortably.
- Folding back the flip every time I get a phone call and securing it in place is not practical.
- The cover inadvertantly causes the phone to either ignore or answer calls by applying pressure on the dial/hangup buttons. While this isn't an issue if the device is in standy, on an incoming call it is. Locking the device is useless because on an incoming call, the phone buttons are unlocked even if the device itself is locked.
After a week of this I finally gave up and took the 8125 out of the leather case. I am worried about it getting dropped/scratched but I just can't find a solution that's practical enough. How are the rest of you dealing with these issues?
yeah most people forget that it's a phone too and not just a pda. so having it in a case like that just makes it more work to answer calls and use the device.
I'm using the Mobile Glove Executice Black Tie Series holder. its a better design than the free case that comes with the 8125. The flap has a magnet in it so it closes really good. I bought it at a mall stand for $30 http://www.mobileglove.com/mobileglove.html it's design for the Treo 650 and similar handheld devices. it fits perfect
I purchased this case and am very happy with it. I don't experience any of the issues described by devGOD. http://cgi.ebay.com/Deluxe-Leather-...ryZ15036QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I've bought items from this person for other PDAs and highly recommend him. He also has some other cases for the 8125 available.

Leather Cases
Hi there. The case listed above was my third case for the 8125. So far I like it the most. This is why I am still looking for a case. Taking it off and putting it on the belt clip is somewhat of a hassle because of the placement of the snap that keeps the thing closed. It gets in the way and it's making it hard to grab the phone in time to answer the ring. Also, using the keyboard is a little akward while it's in the case. Just take it out when at home but when out and about it gets a little tedious.
My next purchase might be the holster but at $30 it's a bit pricy.
Case to consider: Krusell Cabriolet
Here is what fit the bill for me.
http://sfplanet.com/product/87182
Use the phone/screen without any flaps. If you need to use the keyboard, it slides out easily. However, you can shake it upside down and it will stay put.
Krusell offers many choices for additional adaptors to fit your lifestyle. I bought and use their: Carabiner & Swivel Lanyard. I do like the belt clip one it came with - it is the easiest to remove that I've tried, but I don't like extra baggage around the waist.
Here is a link to a website that reviewed 8 cases.

I'll look at one of those "deluxe leather cases" on ebay next. Just got a black metal PDAair case off ebay, trying it out. It's ok so far, not sure if it's a keeper. I'm used to having a metal case on my PDA, but I don't usually carry my PDA on my belt, so I'm not sure if I'll stick with it or go leather. I actually started to like the OEM pouch while I used it, but I want constant protection.
Has anyone tried the following case?
http://cgi.ebay.com/T-Mobile-MDA-PD...8QQihZ015QQcategoryZ15036QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
out of my research, i'm beginning to believe that the case that offers the most protection, AND easy usage without much dabbling every time the phone rings seems to be:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Deluxe-Leather-...4QQihZ010QQcategoryZ15036QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
can anybody post saying otherwise? I'm curious to see if anybody has tried it.
I wish those had black stitching, but that case is most likely my next canidate if I try another one.
My black pdair metal case is doing ok, though I had my first drop today, the stupid stud unscrewed from the back of the case. I was kind of worried about that when I got it, the screw was awfully shallow.
The best case is no case
Hi there:
I read the 8 case review and, after doing so, I purchased the Noreve model. It is a beautiful case. The problem is, for me, that I use my 8125 primarily as a phone, and then as a PDA. I also use it a fair amount with a GPS device. For the phone, I find it most useful OUT of the case. Or, sometimes, when it is in my car holder, it is also out of the case. When using GPS, it is out of the case (but secure).
The Noreve is beautifully made, but the 8125 inside of it is like a brick. I find it 'geeky' to use the case with the phone. In fairness, what I like about the Noreve is that the case folds BEHIND the unit when you are talking and therefore does not hang down like a big dog's tongue. You can also use the keyboard in the Noreve, but the device is not that securely inside of it.
The case I use almost everyday is a case I found on eBay. I prefer the horizontal case, although I believe there is a vertical model. It covers the device well enough, has holes for you to push the device out of the case while on your belt when the phone rings, and then allows you to easily slide the phone back in. The belt is secure, and it is fairly light weight. I used to carry my old iPaq in my suit pocket. The 8125 is just too heavy; it works much better on the waist.
It is cheap but durable and it works!

Oh, BTW, that deluxe case is the same case Brando has.
http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwdopod838leathercase.php
i ordered mine tonight. Given the insane amount of research ive done, i'm definitely sure this one is going to be the one with the least amount of risk to try. I'll let you guys know when all is said and done.
Lex, I know what you mean about spending insanely long hours researching cases, as I just went through it. In a fashion uncharacteric of the way I usually work, I ended up buying four cases: Sena Form-fit, Krusell Cabriolet, Krusell Handit, and Piel Frama. The latter is the model with the strap that allows using the keyboard without removal from the case.
I read the 8-case review over and over, and still couldn't decide. The Krusells were cheap, so I bought two on Ebay for a total of $40. I found the Piel Frama on Ebay for $50. I decided to keep the Piel Frama and Handit. Here are some observations:
Sena Form-fit: Very well-made, but has one big flaw: The magnetic closure, which otherwise I like very much, causes the device to fall out if the case is inverted on the clip. In the first week the MDA fell out twice with no damage, so I sold the case. Also, the belt clip was backordered for a month, and I don't know if that has been rectified.
Krusell Cabriolet: Okay, but leaves screen pointing outward and unprotected; same for top. With the swivel clip I was worried it would fall out like with the Sena issue above. I was nervous using it, so I returned it.
Krusell Handit: Nice, inexpensive, well-designed, and no big flaws. I'm keeping it. I would recommend this one for an expensive case that works very well and looks good, but the keyboard is not accessible without removing the device. The swivel belt clip sticks out a bit and flops around on your belt, which is a minor irritant.
Piel Frama: Well-made, very nice looking and stylish, and another keeper. This will be my main case, but it has some flaws, too:
1. The card slots are directly over the screen (no problems so far). A moderate blow might cause the cards to touch the screen, but I'm not sure if that's a real concern.
2. The flip tends to trip the top-front buttons, but I usually put my device in standby before closing the flip, so this isn't usually a problem.
3. Earpiece connector is difficult to negotiate. The hole doesn't line up precisely and the flip is hard to snap when it is inserted. This isn't a major problem.
Virtues include accessibility to the keyboard by just removing a small strap. Best looking case I've seen.
I've decided there is no perfect case, and the only way to determine which is best for you is spend two weeks researching like I did. The 8-case review previously cited is a good start, and if you want a Krusell or Piel Frama keep an eye out on Ebay. The Piel Framas are hard to find, and from the manufacturers site in Europe they are $75, but show up on Ebay from time to time. I was emailed last week with an offer for one like mine from an Ebay seller for only $46 shipped, so if anyone wants a Piel Frama with the strap, let me know. It may still be available.[/b]
Hi I currently have the Krusell Cabriolet for my 8125, which makes using it like a phone very simple. However, pushing it out to use the keyboard without opening a bunch of progams because I pushed buttons in the process makes this a little suboptimal. I don't like the book cases or flip cases because I want my screen uncovered for my own convenience (I have screen protector film and I'm satisfied with that level of protection).
After doing some research, I like the simple styling of the crystal clear case for the 8125 (see links below). Because it snaps on individually on both sides, there is no obstruction to opening the keyboard, and there is no flap over the screen. It is not as elegant as a leather case and not as bulky or heavy as an aluminum case.
My only issue is that it doesn't appear that it is sold with a belt clip. From the photos, it appears that there is an opening to attach a belt clip. I checked the Boxwave site and though they sell clear cases with swivel belt clips on other models, they don't do with some, including this one.
So finally...my question is, does anyone know whether I would be able to purchase a belt clip separately or (1) does this particular case not support a belt clip, (2) it would not be advisable to use with a belt clip even if it was possible, due to design issues (e.g., snap on case not that durable or snug a fit and phone might pop off, etc.)?

Do these plastic cases cover the screen? It seems they do not, but it is not obvious from the pictures.
They dont' protect the screen. I have one for my mda, and left it on there for like 5 mins. It makes an already bulky phone bulkier. Plus it just feels cheap, especially when you're sliding the keyboard open and shut. But I got it for $10 shipped, so whaddya gonna do? Check ebay for cheaper prices.
(This was with the MDA case...but maybe the 8125 is made with some true craftsmanship so as to avoid these problems )
Thanks just what I needed
Just wanted to say thanks I have been looking for a case like this.
Take care
Cases don't fit 8125
Regarding http://www.daydeal.com/home.php?cat=2262, those cases fit MDAs but will not fit on an 8125. Although both have basically the same form factor, there are enough differences in the edges of the phones and mail/IE button locations that the case will not fit. I learned from experience.
Sadly, this is how most of my leather cases end up.
My wife's old phone had metal at the end of the clip, keeping the leather from separating. I've googled and found leather cases, full metal cases, and cases with plastic clips, but nothing that has the metal at the end of the clip.
Has anyone seen a case with this feature?
well
in my country I there is a case with that feature, i used that a few times ago. but it's not really fix for hermes,it actually made for SE P900 series.. but hermes can fit quite well in that case...
btw, I live in Indonesia
I normally get cases like the two layer Otterbox with a belt clip. I always keep my cellphone on my belt. Is there something similar for the HAM2? I haven't purchased the phone yet. What case is convenient and secure, without breaking the budget? Thanks
Check out the assessories thread here.
The most 'otterboxlike' case so far is the Trident Cyclops case. No belt loop in it but you could find a belt loop case and use that without removing the Cyclops for maximum protection.
Case for belt
Not sure where you live, but I found a case at a local swap meet in Long Beach for $8.
Makes a nice extra pocket.
Looking at one of those Cyclops rugged cases (this is as expensive as Otterbox ).
What I'd like to do is find a bicycle mount for it, no luck on Amazon thus far. There are a couple "universal" mounts but don't want plastic as it'll just become brittle and break (due Canadian weather).

This is where I got my case, I think free shipping to Canada made it cheaper than other vendors, but this was in the summer before the dollar was completely in the ****ter.
http://www.accessorygeeks.com/huawei-ascend-mate-2-4g-cases.html
Got a universal dash/windshield mount for it too from accessory geeks, probably have a bike mount that'll suit your needs, they have a huge selection.
Thanks! It looks like they sell a few mounts, also they sell through Amazon so don't have to order direct (and have yet another account online to manage). They have a metal bike/bicycle tripod bracket but it's quite pricey for a piece of metal. The only thing that really worries me is that the HAM is in an odd size category so either the mount will be too big or too small. Found one mount that may work, but say "may work" lightly.
Perhaps what I could do is just eat the cost of that tripod mount and have a friend machine a proper mount for me to slot-in
Instead of creating a new thread, I thought I would ask within here. Please let me know if I should just open a new thread.
I am looking for two different cases. One with the thinnest blueprint possible, but a case that will protect the face with a lip wrap around [glass] and body from falls. I was thinking this one.
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61+dFCZWcHL._SL1001_.jpg
http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Slim-Bracket-Cover-Huawei/dp/B00QXKHWK2/ref=cm_wl_huc_item
The second case I was looking at that is kind of more of an after thought, a case that is part wallet, part case. Once again, from the same provide. However, I am afraid the corners of the phone won't be protect if it falls. This case doesn't look at that great either. Any recommendations?
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/718Rvqek6RL._SL1009_.jpg
http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Slim-Bracket-Cover-Huawei/dp/B00QXKHWK2/ref=cm_wl_huc_item
I currently have this case on the way, but it's taking forever and I don't think it will protect it from falls specially if it lands on the corners.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KGVCL96/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My best case ever with a nice lip action [so the phone's glass never touched any surfaces] was for my previous phone . The material saved it from many, many falls.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006CUZP84/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They all look about the same. Cheap cases did a test and they are effective as nothing. but if you want an alternative check out http://sugru.com/
I have a black leather flip case like the red leather one you posted. I love it. I have only used hard, extremely protective cases in the past , but there's not much in that category for this phone. I've always used a belt loop case too so I don't try and stuff my phone in to a pants or shirt pocket. I've had a short drop to a wood floor in this case and the phone was fine. I can't say what would happen in a high fall to a hard surface like concrete.

Do you have a link to the case? Is it a wallet your of case?
How high is a high fall to you? 6 feet? Was your short fall 3 feet high?
