I Have above mentioned model of the Blue Angel, I am trying to get an aluminium case for it, but am not sure if any of the proporta, pdair will fit it, im saying this because when I bought a cradle for it from mobilefun that was supposedly for a pda2k, the arms of the cradle wouldnt quite fit round the body of my phone, any ideas anybody.

Anyone have any leads on sources of cases to fit the Wizard? The one that comes with the K-Jam look decent of first view, but since I'll probably want something nicer I figured I would get this thread started.

Well, an update on this, I picked up a Targus Small Camera case Model DCCS00 and while it is a bit loose front to back it fits nicely side to side. A bit bulky but functional and It is easy to insert/remove the device. Also it securely attaches to my belt so I don't have to worry about scraping it off on my office chair. It'll do until someone releases a 'made for' case.

any news with more cases to buy for the k-jam??
anyone?
I ordered and got this case for my wizard after it was recommended on another board. The guy said he found it at a mall in NY at a mobile phone accessory cart. I like it a lot. Fits perfect. The belt clip (although it isnt visible) has a built in swivel so you can wear it vertical / horizontal / or on an angle. I wear it at an angle and its so easy to place in pouch and pull out. I can also charge with the wizard in the case becuase it has a small opening in the bottom.

I just ordered an OEM blackberry 71xx slip case belt clip and Tre 6xx slip case from ebay.

I like to concept of slip case rather than attaching something on my belt.
I'll keep everyone posted here...
Review: PDair booktype leather case
I did a review of the PDair booktype leather case here:
http://www.onppc.com/forum/article_read.asp?id=12
Cheers, Sabesh.
I wonder if the flip type PDAir case uses the same technique to keep the k-jam in place.
I prefer the not so bulky cases. using the case that came with Treo 600 atm and it fits perfectly. slightly tight but it fits in my jacket pocket a lot better than any other cases that I've tried.
I have decided to give BB 71xx pouch a try. I had to stretch it a bit in order to get my qtek a nice fitting.

I am also in a process of streching my treo 600 slip case with a pair of socks and will post some pictures tonight when I get home.
Does anyone have an IPOd 2/3rd Gen slip case? Can you please try and see if it'll fits nicely with your Wizard?
Blackberry 71xx case
Just taken delivery of this case:
http://www.yourwirelesssource.com/shop/5/model/235388/accessory/245843/cat/31
(though from a uk supplier)
Fits nice and snug, and the slightly extra height of the case (about 5mm) can allow you to attach the handsfree kit to the bottom of the phone, son can be used without removing from the case (the voice dial button is also accessible, as is the power button).
A slight negative is that the sides/top corner still have the potential to be damaged on dropping, but I guess most type of slip cases leave some parts exposed.

For those using the WIZA100 variant of the Wizard...

Got this case this AM. It is for the dopod 838 or VPA Compact II. So far so good my only gripe is that the case doesn't allow access to the messaging and ie buttons [when closed] and it is kinda slippery [maybe use it in tandem with a neck strap or handstrap]

They have one for the WIZA200 models as well

Hi guys
Just received my ali PDair case - ordered Thurs night arrived this morning, outstanding service!! A great case too!!
Simon
I heard something about Aluminium cases and low gsm signal..
Are you having that kind of experience on your ppc ;
I currently have the Htc Wizard/ qtek 9100 and i am looking for a case.
Probably i'll go for the leather one.
no signal problems for me so far been using it for almost a week now... of course signal strength is also determined by your network coverage as well not only your device
Hi
Just checked on the signal stregth, one room in my house has a very weak GSM signal for Vodaphone and when using the PDair case it drops by 1 bar.
Must be shielding

Plastic screen cover
Does the aluminum case by PDair have a plastic screen cover to protect the screen like the Armor Case by Boxwave (www.boxwave.com)?
yep they have hard plastic screen
PDAir Case
Sabesh mentioned velcro in his review of the PDAir case. Does that mean there is some 'sticky pad attachment' to be done. The case says it closes with magnets, so I can't figure out where the velcro comes in unless it's to secure the handset. if that means sticking something on to the handset then I'm not so keen. i need to be able to get the handset out easily to fit in my car kit.
TIA, Davebo.
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
Hi all
I haven't found any topic about this case, so here it is:
I recently bought a Tuff-Luv Executive leather pouch for my HTC HD.
http://www.amazon.fr/Tuff-Luv-Execu...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1235746989&sr=8-1
It is quite good, the phone fits very well in it (the camera hole is a bit too low but it is ok anyway). the phone can still be easily to removed from the case.
And it is one of the few leather cases for that phone, that has a hatch that opens to the lower part of the phone (sorry, can't find the words in English, you can see picture) so this is appreciable.
everything is easy to access: stylus, usb port even when the case is closed , volume control, audio jack. Plus it is less expensive than Noreve and Proporta cases (probably not the same durability, but this I can only tell after a while, as it seems to carry on well for now)
So I would gladly recommend it. Anyone else has this case ?
Hope it works out for you. Looks like a pretty well made case.
I'm still trying a few different cases for my HD.
First was the PDA Air book style but it didn't take too long for me to get concerned the two plastic arms that holds the unit in the case are not that secure. The unit can slide and as it is also a belt clip case last thing I wanted was my new shiny HD sliding out and bouncing on the pavement. :-(
Currently have a two piece case of eBay described as "black rubber". Really more of a plastic than rubber and it will do for the short term as only a few dollars.
Today I ordered a Krusell Orbit case. Has the removable flap which covers the screen. I am hoping that with the main section of the case still on the unit it will still fit in the cradle I have. (My cradle has a bit of space around the unit which I hope will accommodate the case)
Your case look good too but the flap attached to the rest of the case at the base so wouldn't allow the unit to sit in the cradle.
I found one on eBay, and I know a few people here have bought cases from the same seller. I'm just wondering about the practicality of the cover flap (see attachment) that hangs down during phone calls. Probably a shallow question, but I dunno how tough the leather might be; is it easy enough to fold the flap over, or do you guys just leave it hanging down?
you just leave it hanging down....
A top flip would be better?
Here's my venture into cheap ebay cases ..

Hi,
I bought a Krussell case from first2save on Ebay and am very impressed with it... I also have a horizontal case from the seller you mention but was never happy with the belt clip.
Regards,

leather case
The beauty with the Leather case with flip is that it virtually eliminates the annoying mis dialing so easy on the HTC HD as the case has a hard protector that makes it touch proof
I have a Krusell Orbit Flex from which you can remove the lid; works perfect
I ordered my Lumia 920 on Friday and it should arrive sometime this week but what I'm currently desperately looking for is a suitable case with a belt clip.
I already went through eBay.com, eBay.co.uk, eBay.de (Germany) and I also tried to find one through Google but all the cases I found either are
-vertical
-have no belt clip
or
-have no cut-out for the headphone plug
I already had vertical belt cases for my current phone (HTC HD2/Leo) before and they always got in the way when I sat down so those sort of cases are not really for me. And as I want to use the Lumia a lot for listening to music a case which won't let me connect the headphones while the phone is in it won't do it either.
So if anyone knows a case that would suit my needs/wishes I would appreciate that a lot
thx

thx but I already came across that one too but unfortunately it lacks a cut-out for the headphone jack
EASECASE is the best for customization
I have had great experience with the EASECASE store on ebay (sry for broken links, still under 10 posts.....):
stores.ebay.com/EASECASE/Lumia-920-/_i.html?_fsub=5875330018&_sid=149381558&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
I customized an AT&T Tilt 2 case 2 years ago and used it up until last Friday when the 920 came out. No issues like leather fraying off the belt clip, expanding over time due to use or stitching coming undone. I think you can get them to either put a hole for the headphone jack in the side you think you will have the top of the phone against when you carry it horizontally, or lower that same side so that the wall of the case is only half the height of the side the bottom of the phone will be against. I saw some old pictures once where someone wanted to charge the phone while inside the case and they cut one wall in half and finished the edges to match the rest of the case stitching.
Here is the customization page of the case I have for my Tilt 2 but for the Lumia 920: stores.ebay.com/easecase/pages/D1
I used BU Cowhide Black for the case exterior, Black microfiber interior, 2 hidden magnets for the closure and Belt Clip style 02. Pretty awesome to hold and the clip is wide enough so the strain of attaching it to your pocket, belt, bag strap etc.....didn't force the metal to start poking through the leather because it was divided along a longer surface than Belt Clip 01.
I also got them to monogram it using my Quake 3 tag even though it was longer than the maximum character length they specify. Nothing but good to say about them. Downside? They hand make to order and ship from China, so you will wait like 3-6 weeks. Upside? Best case of its kind for the money.
If you want a picture of my old case just ask.

Thanks for the suggestion
Unfortunately they are quite expensive (50 $ is A LOT of cash for a phone case IMO)
Glad to help. I also firmly believe that you get what you pay for and that buying once is better than buying multiple times because the case wears out. Also, most of the leather cases out there are quite flimsy compared to this one and very few are enclosed at the corners. This means that when you drop your phone, it may be protected from the impact but the corners will still get damaged. That was one of the deciding factors for me personally besides the belt clip style. Good luck with your search and let us know what you pick.
