Thanks for Manuel Garcia from Piel Frama...
After waiting for almost a week. At last.......
Nice PIEL FRAMA box, as usual. Love it..........You can see the quality...
Inside it .....hehe.........
The pouch.....u can feel the high quality of leather......
Rear view on the Pouch..
The keyboard is cover/protect nicely by the ABS....
As you can see. The pouch only cover the RELEASE BUTTON for the battery cover.
Infra Red - No problem.
Sync - No Prob.......
There is no problem for you to take out your memory card...
Wheel, Ok Button, Voice Command Button....nicely....show up......
No problem at all.......hehe..
On the other side....all the button are shown nicely.....
upgrade
I am just about to look into this - I have a pielframa one for my MDAIII but now need to upgrade. Can it be used easily whilst in the case - including getting the keyboard in and out etc?
Ya, you can clip on your belt....and the keyboard can come in & out...easily... no worry....
Same as my XDA2s...
daft question

With my MDAIII piel frama case (same type) I ended up trimming the plasticy keyboard cover to stop it getting caught and getting frayed and torn. Does this one look like the same will be needed or is it a better fit.
well....i think this one..worse then XDA2s........
That's the draw back point....
One thing I don't like about it is that the plastic seems not attached very well on the right side...and the reset button is not accessible.
Also, why is there an opening to the left of the camera?
> Also, why is there an opening to the left of the camera?
Speaker is there.
Yep, have this case too and agree with all comments and especially pain that the reset button is covered - they really didn't need a cut out over the IR port as noone uses it thesedays anyway...
The case is *almost* very good but I think the leather needs to go a touch further round at top and bottom i.e. towards the USB/charger port, and so pull the plastic foil tighter across the keyboard - mine's seems more loose than day 1...
Still a very impressive case but not 100% sorted (yet). Which reminds me; the cut out for the scroll wheel is a bit off on mine (should be 2-3mm lower down)...
Speaker? On the *rear* of the PDA?
same goes to me...the wheel hole..shd 2 to 3mm lower......
I also think that the cut out for the scroll wheel should be 1 - 2mm lower. But i notice that the plastic foil will get loose if the PDA is heated. If I remove the case and let it cool down, the plastic foil will get tighten again.
How convenient it is to use the device in this case as a phone?
Not that good when used as a phone as you have to bend the case so the front doesn't flap into ur face.
And just the w/e the plastic belt holder fell apart as I was getting into a car.
It looks like this is no-go for me.
To further comment, the micro SD Slot of the PF case actually touches the screen of your pda thus causing it to be turned on for the entire should you not turn it off via power button.

I have been having this problem of stylus keep falling off from the silo.
Does anyone know how to fix it??
Thanks.
I don't know the solution (never needed it) but i remember seeing posts with tips when i registered last year. You must make a more extensive search
I put a piece of scotch tape around mine and I've had no problems since I did that. One wrap around was enough to keep it snug - right in the middle of the stylus.
here you go, maby it will help someone:
http://www.pdagold.com/articles/detail.asp?a=274
I've been having this problem,and just tried this solution. Give me a day and I'll tell you how it works out
Edit:
Well, it's been a day, and the stylus is being held in there better than ever. Definitely a recommended fix if you are having this problem
yeah, i find that the scotch tape trick works perfect. i put it right around the "neck" of the stylus - that would be nearest to the gray head part.
Falling Stylus
I've read on a website, don't have any link anymore, that if you will turn your mobile on the back, and remove your battery, there will be 2 openings where you can see some steel. If you take some sort of pen, or mini-screwdriver you can push against it, and when it clicks, your stylus must be a little tighter in his case. Didn't test it, because i lost my stylus because of the same problem

yeah me too did it last year in sep2007.my kjam since then works well & i haven`t lost any thing up to date.
precaution- there are some plastic parts so pls be carefull
Solution to stylus falling out
I bought some sticky tack (you can get it at office supply stores) and placed a small amount in the channel. That seems to hold my stylus in with no problems.
Tape option is the best. I lost two stylus due to falling stylus and this time I put a small amount of tape on the outer edge and its perfectly fit in the phone. No more falling stylus.
I opened the phone, added a drop of hot-glue behind the little plastic pin and it holds the stylis like it was new.
The same trick I also applied to my universal, only there I added a bit to much, and the stylus now doesn't come out easily, so I need to use a little more force.
Hey guys - does anyone know of any after-market battery covers for the HD that would be metal - specifically for the purpose of attaching to a magnet? I purchased one of those magnetic "cradle" kits that is basically just a big magnet you stick onto whereever, with a little metal slab that you stick onto the back of your phone. Then - you can just stick the phone up close to the magnet and it sticks - a perfect low-profile car cradle. The metal slab that sticks to the back of the phone is thin - it doesn't really stick out any further than the camera housing - but it still isn't as sleek as just the phone by itself. I thought a replacement battery cover that sticks to the magnet would be perfect. So... does anyone know of any? Or perhaps a vendor that could custom-machine one?

I made my own magnetic car holder solution. Didn't cost much and can't imagine it work better than this...
I can't see what you've done there... It looks like some sort of metal on the battery itself, so that the regular cover works fine... What is that? How is it affixed?
Jouh has placed 2 razor blades on the battery.
Cool! I'm going to try that...
just don't take ur phone to the airport...... they might think ur going to use the razorblades for other non magnetic purposes.
Ohh! Good point! I would have completely forgotten about them and then been really screwed - I actually have to run my mobile through an X-ray every day at work... That could be an issue. Oh well - back to the drawing board...
just do the same with any thin metal i.e. sheet steel.

I really wouldn't recommend directly attaching the phone to strong magnetic sources. It may impede the functionality, reduce or affect the battery operation, interfere with the many antennas in the phone, not to mention run the risk of corrupting memory sticks etc?
The phone itself isnt that heavy so probably wouldnt need a strong magnet, but you'd want to use something quite strong just to hold it in place. Imagine driving over a speed bump or pot hole which dislodges the phone and makes it go sliding across your dash board and out of an open window. (worst case scenario..)
If youre looking for a quick release holder I would recommend something that you clip the phone into like those hip holsters and then find one that has a socket connection to a window mount.

I used the same razors and the same magnet (This one) with my SE P1i for 1½ year without any issues.
And the phone doesn't move 1 mm even driving over the biggest speed bump in Sweden.

I honestly couldn't think of one thing that a magnet could have an effect on in the phone, certainly not the memory. The only type of memory that is affected by magnets are HDD (because the data on the disks is stored magnetically) and credit cards (once again, data stored magnetically). However, RAM/ROM is completely different and relies on gates and latches to store data, neither affected by magnet. Not to mention even if it did have an HDD (like old school mp3 players/iPod) it would take a strong magnet (mainly electromagnet) to corrupt the memory. Likewise, I can't foresee it having any affect on the battery or interfering with the antenas (unless you're using some super strong magnet....which you're likely not)
One of the only build quality problems i have with the Touch HD is that the battery cover creaks when pressed in certain spots.
To revive this topic, does anybody know of an actual aftermarket battery cover for this phone, preferably metal?
I searched google to find no results. It seems like it would be a good idea to make these
You can also shave the inside of the battery cover with a small sander. Than add ANY kind of magnet that will than fit inside the cover. The plastic cover is THICK so you can shave enough for some type of magnet.
I would also like a metal/rubber etc back cover. The quality of the orginal cover is driving me nuts..
Has anyone found this kinda aftermarket item?

This is my first review, so I hope it doesn't suck.
Both my wife and I have the Tilt 2. I decided to go with InvisibleShield while she wanted a case. After looking at all the comments here about cases not fitting, I decided to go with 2 different ones from Amazon. One fit horribly, so i wont even mention it.
She is using the Tilt2 Praetorian Slip and she loves it. Installation was a little tough as the fit is pretty precise. I suggest installing the top (screen) side first and then the bottom (keyboard). Install both with the KB extended. I have attached pics of the fit.
The only complaint I have (she thinks of it as a feature) is that the cover makes it a little more difficult to slide out the keyboard. She like it because it used to slide open in her purse (mostly because of the fact that she keeps it in an inside pocket of her purse which causes it to hit just right against crap she has in another pocket). Overall, this is a pretty nice cover. I am sure you can get it cheaper than amazon, but I had gift certificates to spend
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the review! I bought the same case a few months ago, although it was advertised as for the Verizon Touch Pro 2. I was unaware they made one for the Tilt 2. Now I won't have to worry about it falling off randomly!
thsi case probably wouldnt work with invisible shield on too huh

Neat.. glad yours fit. I ordered one for the Tilt2 from Amazon as well, and Boxwave sent one labeled 'Touch Pro 2'. I see yours doesn't have a cutout area for the PTT button either, do you have issues with that? My praetorian case would almost always trigger the PTT button whenever I handled the phone.
The top/screen portion of my Praetorian didn't fit right and opening and closing the top was almost impossible - even ended up ripping off the protective plastic along one side of the keyboard. (the protective plastic that is designed to be there, not the temporary stuff it whipped with) I can see just by looking at your pictures that your screen portion fits waay better than mine did.
When I contacted Boxwave about the issues, no questions asked and they sent a postage paid label for the return. I'd love to try this case again, as I did like the feel of it, but nervous about another no-fit. I went with BodyGuardz instead.. not sure I'm happy with those..
Thanks,

Man, sorry you had so many issues. The PTT button is indeed covered, but she has had no issues with it at all (hers is remapped to toggle bluetooth on and off). The fit on the screen portion is *very* tight. Took some effort to get it installed properly.
Also, mine definitely said "Tilt 2" on the packaging.
It is disappointing that it covers the PTT button. I assume your wife has abandoned that function (easily switching BT on/off)?
Thanks for posting reviews on this case -- I'm trying to decide what route to take to give my new Tilt 2 some added protection, and more importantly, cut down on the slickness/smudge magnet-ness of the shiny battery cover (which is my #1 gripe with the GSM TP2, both CDMA versions have rubberized covers which won't fit their GSM siblings due to the placement of the 3.5 mm jack).
I really wish someone made a rubberized battery cover to replace the shiny OEM one. These snap on type cases are okay, but they become a major pain as soon as you need to pop off the battery cover in order to flash a new ROM (as I do often), reset the device, or swap out memory cards. I worry trying to snap-in and pry off these cases frequently will damage the phone -- especially when it's a super snug fit. IMHO, a rubberized battery cover, along with perhaps the upper portion of this case to protect the chrome bezel from getting nicked would be an ideal solution! I may just go down to Home Depot this weekend and see if they have a spray that can rubberize plastic, then I might just buy a spare OEM battery cover and see if I can rubberize it.

Nope, the PTT button still works perfectly under the cover. Does not get accidentally pressed and is responsive when you push it.

Sounds like skinning/shielding your phone with GadgetShieldz might be the way to go. The GadgetShieldz does take a little time to install but it works. The protective film on the screen is easy to install and bubble free. It makes the phone non-slippery. It would not protect the phone like a case but it does prevent scratches. When installed, it adds very little weight and dimension to the phone.
Actually, there are other protective films/shields but I only have experience with GadgetShieldZ. It might work for you.

Just to report on this, I got one of these in the mail yesterday. So far I love it. It wasn't terribly difficult to get on. It fits very well too. My only real complaint is that it doesn't accommodate the PTT button that the Tilt 2 has right next to the volume buttons. It's not a big issue since I don't use PTT and the case doesn't prohibit using the key anyway.
Just be careful and make sure you order the one that specifically says it's for the Tilt 2. They make other models. I know they have the Praetorian on eBay but to be safe I opted to get mine directly from Boxwave. I got what I ordered too and could have used they're return policy if I needed.
Oh...I'll be happy to post pics if anyone wants but I think someone already put some up of this one a Tilt2.

I wish I'd seen your post sooner! Home Depot and Lowe's does indeed have something like that. I'm sure lots of hardware stores do. It's called Plasti-Dip. I have a can right here You can buy it as spray-on or dip/brush-on applications. I use it on mountain bike parts and tools for extra grip. I'm not positive how well it will stick to a slick plastic surface but it is an option.

I ordered one from BoxWave and I think I'm still going to shop around for something else. It seems like the Tilt2 has less options than the other variations of the Rhodium so people may just be settling for this due to "Slim Pickin's."
I like the way the gel gives more texture and grip to the phone, but I still feel uneasy because it's definitely not a snug fit. The part that covers the screen section of the phone is very flimsy and after you get it on, you want to keep checking it to make sure that it is attached; it feels like it can easily slip off at any time. This is specifically evident when you slide your screen up and tilt it. Tap the top right, or the middle section that really has no grip around the phone, and it might just pop off...
I still have it on my phone because it is the lesser of two evils, have something vs. not having something, but are there any other options for the Tilt2?

It's held up quiet nice...even with as much flashing I do (have to remove the bottom piece every time). I've figured out a great way to put it back on that's really fast and easy. Some people say it's difficult to get on. I think the top piece is the hard part but I've taken it off a few times and have no issues there either. It still fits good. If I remember, next time I take it off I'll shoot some pics of how I put it on and upload them.

I haven't really had any trouble with mine popping off. It took a bit to get the top on right and it was a pretty snug fit too. Getting the corner edges all the way tucked under was the hardest part. I'm guessing it's a manufacturing thing. Some say it's a tight fit and other say it's loose. I will agree that the sides on the top piece are flimsy because they're not attached the the phone but if they were it would probably make matters worse by either rubbing against the bottom piece or creating too big of a gap between the two parts of the phone.
I agree there aren't many options for the Tilt 2 and I hate to say it but there probably won't be.

If yours is a snug fit, I wonder if we received the same thing! Did you order from BoxWave? I have a little plastic tool that I used to get the corners onto the top half quickly which was actually made to fit into the creavice of a HTC Dash phone to pop the clips and take the phone apart. It works great and I can see the little flaps around the corner so you can tell the corners of the phone are between the gel lips.. It's still too easy to come off though..
Even though my receipt says "Praetorian Crystal Slip, HTC Tilt2, Smoke Grey - SKU: bw-268-3729-2808", it also says "ITEM: HTC TOUCH PRO2." The Box also has a white sticker in the top right that says "Praetorian Crystal Slip - TOUCH PRO2."
Do you remember if yours said the same? Maybe they somehow shipped me the wrong one?

Yeah I got mine directly from boxwave. They have like 3 different models of that slip. Most of the adds I saw on Amazon and eBay claimed it would fit on 3 or 4 different TP2 models which I knew it wouldn't. I emailed boxwave about the pics in their online catalog because it didn't look like a Tilt 2 to me and they admitted it wasn't. They said they didn't have one for the pics. Which made sense I mean why spend that much just to get pics but they promised it would fit so I figured what the hell. The hard covers kinda suck.
Thanks for the replies, I guess I will go ahead and order it and see what happens.
I just got the unbranded version of this case off ebay (the seller's id was e-story).
It's not too bad on my unbranded TP2. It's slightly more difficult to slide out the keyboard, and when the screen is fully tilted, the top row of keys are slightly obscured, but nothing too major in my opinion.
I like that the case improves the grip of the phone, but I'm also rather concerned that the case will eventually melt under hotter conditions since the material feels rather gummy.
Saw this case when searching on Ebay
MOD EDIT: Ebay Links
Guess I can't link it, but search ebay for
"leather case cover for 10.2"inch epad" if you want it, seller is chinese-smile and it's a little higher priced now, but still only $9.96.
Dimensions for the
EPad iRobot are 270mmx180mmx15mm
GTablet are 267x173x9-13.9(mm)
This sounds like it would be a pretty good fit, although the soft keys would be covered, some surgery would be needed, but for $9.49! Only thing it is PU, not real leather, even chinese cows aren't that cheap apparently. ;P
I'm going to order this, I'll update when it arrives.
UPDATE: See Roebeet and i2steve comments on the case as they already have one, not perfect, but usable with a little adjustments.
bought one too, lets see what happens
I'm trying it too. We'll see..
Call me a Lemming too... Should work out pretty good.
Trying here too..
This looks exactly like the case thst roebeet and myself have. I did a small review on it in the accessories thread.

Yeah, that's the case I have (I thought I was getting one with clips, but got this one instead).
I am using mine right now, but had to do some surgery on it. Quick notes, from my own experience:
- the volume keys are covered, so you need to cut there.
- the camera and light sensors are covered.
- All the keys are covered, except a little bit of the back button.
- our device is a tad too think, so it will bulge in places.
- the screen is covered a bit on the top side, and you'll need to cut away a whole section of the top to fix that.
Suggestion: Lots of electrical tape to cover up the surgery - it doesn't look all that great, but it gets the job done until something better comes along. Btw, this is a situation where having cheap faux leather is a good thing, as it's fairly easy to cut - I used a razor blade and a hole puncher.
A final suggestion is to get some reusable sticky tape (1 lb strength max) to reduce the bulges and hold it together and a little velcro on the side clip so you can have it stick to the back when it's opened. If you don't use velcro, it basically sticks out when you flip it open, which is a bit annoying.
Good summary above ^^^
I just got mine and I like it. Been carrying mine in the bag from the original box, so this is nice.
Like he said above, the buttons are covered, but if you have the VEGAn Rom, with the home, back and menu buttons in the window shade, you won't have to cut. Although it's a little tricky hitting them, cause it's tight up there.
I just quickly slide it out an inch or two if I need to adjust the volume.
I love how the case props it up so it's at a 60° angle.
Until a better one comes out, this will more than suffice.
I got tired of taking off my case every time i charge my phone,.... so i did alil bit of modification and i thought I'd share with you guys and maybe find it helpful,...
ok,... the case that i have is a Ringke FUSION Xperia Z2 Bumper Case,... i also have a Spigen Ultra Fit which like a lot,... but I've been using the Ringke FUSION coz i think it has the best protection all around,....
your going to need a Dremel for this modification or something similar
1.) your going to need to open the Sony DK36 Magnetic Charging Dock (don't forget to remove the adapters that goes into the charging port slot),... once it's open,... your going to want to raise the magnetic port so it can reach the cellphones port when you have the case / bumper case on,.... i used a 3M double sided tape (which is 1.90mm thick) so the magnetic port can be raised permanently (as you on the picture) (and don't forget to remove the USB cable while working on it)
2.) this is where you need the Dremel or something similar,..... make your marking on your case on where your going to cut out the hole,..... i used the Dremel with a grinding tool with a small tip,.... remember to start small and slowly make your way out (don't forget to remove the phone off the case when you start griding / cut),.... use the magnetic charging port as reference to how much you should grind out / cut out,.... every now and then test fit the case to the magnetic port charger,....
3.) by now,.... your magnetic charging dock should be closed and back together,..... your not going to need any of the adapters anymore,.... try testing the phone with the case to the magnetic charging dock,.... it should fit and charge your phone already,... if not,... grind alil bit more on case so that it clears the charging port completely,..... if that still doesn't work,... you may need to open the DK36 Magnetic Charging Dock again and raise the port alil bit more,....
4.) this part is optional,.... but i did this mod to give the phone more back support,.... i found a old CD case that i wasn't using and cut out a small piece,.. about the same size as the back panel,... grind the plastic until it fits on the back panel just right,.... i used a 3M painters tape to keep the plastic piece attached to the dock,.... (the 3M double sided tape was to thick and wouldn't allow the charging port the join,.... thats why i used a thinner tape on the back of the small plastic piece,.... just roll the tape together to make it a double sided tape)
(you'll see on the picture how the small plastic piece looks like with the charging dock)
Opening the dock
How can we open the dock? It's made of so premium plastic that I am not able to open it. Can you please post a video on how to open the dock? I have a flip cover which just uses the magnet to stick but does not charge because the golden pins are not able touch each other. Just write a proper step by step on how to open it or post a video.
sorry about that,... but its kinda late for me to do a video on how to do this mod since I've already done it,...
but i can still help you,...
i kinda had a hard time opening the dock to,... and learned my lesson,... so here's what you gotta do,...
on the bottom dock,... you would see a grip tape around the surface of the dock (it helps keep the dock from moving around the table)
there are 2 screws holding the dock together,.... and they are located on the side where the grip tape is at,..... so its actually covered underneath the grip tape (the middle section of the side grip tape) just remove a small portion of the grip tape so the screws can be revealed,.....and just remove it with a small screwdriver,.... (use the first picture that i posted as reference to get an idea on where the screw mount is at)
i hope that helps,....
SCR10 official case
I have bought my SCR10 official case, from ebay this seller: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/London-Magic-Store
You can use magnetic dock with it
It seems totally legit to me, I've made a small review, check it out.http://www.4gnews.pt/sony-xperia-z2-flip-case-scr10-review/
Really awesome and quiet cheap flip-case.
Tell me what you think
yeah i saw that case,.... i was thinking about getting it but i didn't really want a flip cover case,... while it gives you protection on the LCD screen,... it also has some down side like holding it up like a book when taking a picture,...

You are the best. After reading and following your instructions million a times finally I could achieve what I desired. I just made a few arrangements from my side as my cover is the ultra slim 0.3 mm which required only a small amount of tweaking.
You can see in the pic below that I used the plastic in both the ends with double sided tape because the Z2 used slip out of the dock sometimes.
Again a very big thank you for solving this issue for me.i was a bit afraid that what would happen if my charging flap came out. But you solved it for me. Keep up the good work
I´ve this case http://www.ebay.com/itm/11135176963...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 and fit to dock very well.
