I'm looking for a case for my T-Mobile MDA that I can use to put on my arm preferably forearm so I can go jogging and to the gym with. I want to use it as my preferred music device instead of my ipod, esp since I can use the bluetooth headphones ... anyone know of any case?
Have you seen the ipod ones? It'll be snug, but it'll fit.
Krusell has one that fits their cases.
For my TP2 I'm looking for a solution for my case problem: I want to protect my TP2 in a case, but also want to be able to use it in a car (for navigation and hands free calling).
For the TP2 there seem to be two kinds of cases: one is more or less the one that came with my TP2, these are useless, because you have to take the phone out every time you want to make a phone call. The other type are the ones made by PDair, Krusell and others, where the phone can always stay in the case and even the keyboard can be used. However, it is way too much work to take the phone out of the case every time I want to use it in my car.
Today however, I may have found a solution: it seems that Krusell is selling a car holder in which the TP2 will fit while it is inside the case! And when I use their springclip (instead of the rotating round swivel knob) inside the car holder, it is fixed against rotation as well.
As an added bonus, they even have a bike holder, so I can use the TP2 on my bike as well!
Does anybody have any experiences with or comments on this idea?
I hate using the dongle with my wired earphones on my Tilt 2. Even though I mostly use a Motorola S9 BT headset, there are times when the wired earphones are the only option. I prefer the in-ear type sets with silicone cups. I've been looking all over for a set like that with a mini-USB connector so I wouldn't have to use the dongle, but they are nowhere to be found. There are a few sets, including the OEM ones from HTC, but they all have crappy earbuds. I found a set on eBay, but when I got them I was disappointed with the sound quality. They sucked. Decided that I would combine the plug from those with the rest from my nice set of 3.5mm plug earphones. If you've ever cut into the wires on these earphones you know how hard they are to work with. Not wires, actually, more like filaments. They have a cooating on them to prevent shorting so they can be put together without individual insulation. This makes them thinner and more bendable. Unfortunately, it makes them extremely hard to solder. After some considerable time spent figuring out which wire went where (color codes didn't match, one set had 5 wires, the other only 4) I managed to get it all together and now have a mini-USB in-ear silicone headset that sounds awesome and still allows access to the phone controls. No more dongle for me!
Oh yeah, and I can use the FM radio with them.
nvm notice you already saw it

Yeah, and I ordered one last night. Still, there are situations where a corded headset is the only option (airplanes, some government buildings). Not having to use the clumsy OEM dongle is a joy.

heh, i once used my BT headset to listen to music on a plane (shh, dont tell the FAA )
Hey do you, are you able to do a how to, i did think/try, and as try i mean cut the mini usb cord from other headphones, and as u said there were so many difference wires.
Thanks
Not sure about a how-to. The wire colors are different depending on whose headphones you have and whose you sacrifice for the USB end. Soldering these filament wires is a real chore. The color coating is what insulates them from each other in the cord. I scraped the coloring off to expose a little of the copper so I could solder them then I used tiny shrink sleeve to reinsulate them. When all done I slid a larger piece of shrink sleeve over all of it. You'll need a meter to figure out which wire is which, but I can tell you which pins from the USB connector on the phone are which. That'll make it a little easier for you. Give me a day or 2 to make up a diagram.
found good usb dongle for headset

You can get them cheaper on eBay. I got 3 of them for $3 shipped. Amazon charges shipping so you're better off going with eBay. Also make sure you get a bunch of them. The quality of these adapters are pretty bad and they fall apart after a month or so. You get what you pay for.
Anyone know of a Slim Case that's compatible with the docking station?
I was really interested in the MoKo Premium Quality Slim case, but I think I read a comment saying it doesn't play nice with the dock :/.
Anyone got any suggestions? I don't obviously plan on using the dock all the time, but when my class calls for notes, I'd prefer using it.
I don't like thick stuff, so something I can carry around in my hand would be nice.
Maybe it wouldn't be too much hassle to just pull it out of the case when I need to use the dock? But if there's a slim case that works amazing with the dock, that may be the better choice.
(I think you could just snap off the bottom two tabs and it'll work?)
And I want those 3 levels of standup angles.
Thanks!
Does anyone know where I can buy the "rubber covers" to go over the headphones which came with the phone (kind of like the Samsung one)? I find the headphones too small and loose and always fall out of my ear when I use them. I've tried using the Samsung rubber covers but they're a slightly different shape and don't fit well.
I've got Bluetooth headphones as well which I've been using, but would rather not use those when I'm on a plane etc.
Thanks!
This style of headphones doesn't work for for me either. Try the ones with the Galaxy s9, so much better
