I'm about to buy an SDIO W-LAN card (maybe Socket) but I don't know how to fit it into my XDAII case when it's closed. Is there a solution ? Is there a manufactuter which delivers an SD card fitting perfectly into XDAII ?
The best solution would be having also 512 MB memory...
Has anyone found a concrete solution to work practically with XDAII/wi-fi card and case ?
Thanks,
I don't think they manufacture a wifi card that slots completely into the XDA2 as the design of the card demands that part of it is the antenna.
The XDA2i with integrated wifi would have an antenna built into the case design
The easiest way without changing your unit is a PDair Aluminium Case. This lets the card stick out the top, and has storage inside for a memory card, when not in use,

Thank you, the metal case is really interesting...maybe the only solution other than buying the newer XDAIIi. I'd like better waiting for the XDAIV (UMTS) and buy now the Wi-Fi card for my XDAII...
Has anybody found a credit card enabled Wizard case?
The closest I've seen is the Krusell case - www.krusell.se - but this is just too small...
This is seriously hampering my impulse gadget buying!

Not a good idea. If you have the credit cards next to the PDA the GSM transmitter could erase the magnetic stripe.
Not forgetting that the Wizard uses a magnet for rotating the screen...

Hmmm...I've been using an XDA2 for 2 years with credit cards in a Krusell case. Have not had any probs with demag of cards from GSM transmitter of XDA2...so why would this one?
Where is the magnet situated for landscape?
This too is the thing which is holding up my switch from xda2 to Wizard...hope somebody makes a case with that in mind.
To anyone in or out of the US, we have a show called mythbusters on the discovery/learning channel. They did a test on credit cards and found that it takes quite a bit to clear/damage the data on the mag strip (the new credit cards especially (ya know, anything past 1990)). Hope it helps!
the only magnetic strip i ever had that got erased by my phone was a room key at a hostel in Melbourne. Most hotels throw them away after one use, but this cheap hostel reused them to keep costs down and constant reprogramming made them tempermental. If I forgot and shoved that key into my pocket with my T28 I would have to get it reprogrammed everytime.
I had a magentic money clip which ate credit card strips if I dropped it onto the wrong pocket. Mind you, that was a long time ago, and it was a strong magent. I've always kept credit cards in the case next to my other XDAs without problems.
I've been using the Krussell case for the Wizard for a couple of months now, and it's great.
A really good clip and release mechanism, well crafted, and it now takes 3 credit cards after a bit of stretching. Easily the best case I've ever had.
I have had cards (lotsa cards with mag strip) in my wallet which also have a contact-less card. If you know the workings behind the contact-less card, you would know that there is a magnetic field on the reader that gives your card the power to process and send the signal. I think that would be much stronger than a mobile phone signal and also the freq would be much lower, hence easier to disstort any magnectic strip. However, I have been using the card for 2 years+ everyday and I don't have problems with my creditcards.
BTW, I've did a test on floppy disk on those magnetic telephone book (those that use two pieces of magnet as cover). And it seems impossible to erase the stuff on the disk. I guess you need a much stronger magnet.
Hello. I have used my wizard intensely for about an year or so and I am sad to say its looks are awfull now(i forgot to mention I work in sales and I have a very strong relationship with my phone). As I am from Bucharest, it is very hard for me to find a genuine original case, and not an aluminium or leather protective one. Is there any chance I could find one of those cases and what would the costs be?
Thanx

Credit card mag strip
Mythbusters proved that simple magnets (even neo) eel skin and a lot more things wont affect a magnetic strip. They ended up using a really strong electro magnet and only partially damaged the strip.
Here's one I wouldn't mind parting with.
This one works with the Cingular 8125
It has 2 SD card slots and 2 Credit Card slots on each side of the wallet section.
The only flaw in it is a rip on the side. But it still will function normally, to hold the device.
I would sell it to you for $10.00 US Dollars plus S/H.
If your interested, let me know.

Hi I need durability on all fronts for my new xperia x10.
Can anyone recommend cases [like the Otter] that are shockproof?
If the mentioned case does have a screen will any screen on ebay work well?
Same for a brand of micro sd [32gb] that will run well and for a long time.
I'm sweating the case part the most. Thanks for the help.
Hi, Has anyone seen a case for LG G3 which has card slots but no extra back protection? I don't want my phone to get much thicker but it seems every case with card slots also has the extra back plate which to me is unnecessary.
So what I'm looking for is a case which swaps out the standard backplate and only adds protection to the front and preferably 2 or more slots for credit cards. Ala the LG Smart window case but instead of a window you get card slots.
Thanks!
Sorry if I'm not allowed to ask on your thread, but I'm after a bumper case similar to the spigen ones with card slots in the back, no flip cover
if anyone knows of one please let me know
I got spoiled recently by having a case that had a slide compartment for credit cards on my Note.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for the ultimate case ...... I would like to have ability to have at least a credit card (or 2) and my DL , still be able to use a wireless charger (esp in my car ) and still be able to connect to a holster or belt clip.
I saw this and it looked promising (maybe by being detachable it will work with a wireless charger) but no belt clip or holster

Any ideas ? (for the case that does it all)
I'm looking for a case similar too. If I find one I will post the link
I found this one on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078XS9ZQM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_cnrABbFA94704
I bought a wallet case at http://www.casemecase.com. After 15 months of use, I bought another one.
