The case that comes with the K-Jam isnt as small as it could be so I would like to get a case that is a little more form fitting.
Has anyone looked at the leather case that pdair.com has for the k-Jam/wizard? I cant tell how it attaches to the K-Jam but I think its got a clear plastic sheet that fits in between the screen and keyboard and covers the keyboard. That is why I am reluctant to buy case. I had something like that for my PDA2K and I didnt like the plastic sheet in between keyboard and screen. It seemed that the screen would not slide so easily before using the case and afterwards the screen seemed to be loose and slide to easily. I dont want to mess up the tight feel of the screen / keyboard on this one.
If you know anything about this case or any other please post a response.

I am thinking of getting one of the cases on theis page: www.krusell.se. I like the Horizontic style. The cases are shown under the ETEN m500 size but the m500 and K-Jam are about the same size.
The Krusell cases are well made and fit well, but they are not smaller than the stock cases.
Look http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2089&category=16 or http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2128&category=42 although the pdair and piel frama are the only ones that allow you to use the keyboard whilst in the case. I have the pdair.com one and it fits my needs (I am able to use the keybaord quite effectively with the plastic cover (it doesn't cover all of it); I have had the plastic 'crumple' a few times but this minor problem is more than outweighed by the benefits.
these flip cases look quite good

It looks almost identical to the PDAir one. Nice aluminium insert which works with their magnetic car holder. Since when did aluminium react to magnetism??? (I know the probably have a thin magnet insert btw)
Hello,
These cases are also compatible with HTC Wizard:

Do you have the book style (landscape-opening) or the flip style (portrait opening) model?
You don't find any problem with opening and closing the keyboard, with that plastic insert?
I've had the PDAir leather case (flip format -- hinge on the bottom) for several weeks now -- it works pretty well for the most part. It's a bit tricky putting the Wizard in the case; the plastic bit that fits between the keyboard & LCD has a Velcro bit on the end that's a bit thick for the space provided. Said Velcro piece attaches to the case via a tab that folds up over the right side, between the camera button & IR port -- unfortunately it covers the reset hole.
The case is a bit loose-fitting, which probably can't be fixed without sacrificing the ability to deploy the keyboard; AFAIK, it's the only case that lets you use the keyboard without removing the Wizard from the case. It's not as good as the Krusell I used with my BlueAngel, but it's good enough.
I have been searching online retailers and local shops for a leather case for my Touch HD but to no avail, until I have found this in one of the mall in the Philippines while on holiday. I believe this is one of the best genuine leather case available for the HD regardless of the price. The best part of it is the price: Only USD15.00
The leather is not stiff but smooth and soft. The stitching is very well done. All phone controls and buttons are all accessible.
Check out the pix to have an idea how amazing this leather case is.
The pictures does not include the belt clip which also serves as headset/headphone cable organizer. Very, very neat!
looks good, do you know who manufactured it?

It's Capdase. They actually have cases for all other phones including, iphone, blackberries. I actually bought similar cases too for my Blackeberry bold and Nokia 5800.
I'm wondering whether this leather case could be made compatible with Krusell's Multidapt mounting system, so it could be used with their car and bike holder kits. Could you maybe give me the exact dimensions of the swivel thingy that I suppose gets screwed in the back of the case?
Here's the corresponding Krusell data:
outside-diameter (top 2mm): 12,5mm
outside-diameter (lower 2mm): ca 9,5mm
inside-diameter: 7mm
also, do you know what kind of screw is used?
here's a pic of the krusell belt kit (the swivel thingy I'm talking about is obviously the second from the left):
Whoooa! The last pic, where it shows th case being used as a stand raises it's value a lot
Where can we buy this product ??
it's very usefull

I believe it will not be compatible. I am at work now, I will post additional pictures with belt clip on and the screw itself. I have had Krussel before but it is not as well designed as the belt clip that comes with this Capdase case.

I bought this in a mall in the Manila, Phils. I have search the web but it is not available. Maybe you could try search "Capdase" in Ebay. Even in Manila, it is not readily available in most shops, you really have to ask for it.

I will try to post additional pictures when I get off from work. But I can assure that it still fits my front pocket comfortable without looking happy to see everybody ....I never use the belt clip and screw so that's helped a lot in terms of pocketability.

I use a simple leather case to protect my HD. Bought on ebay where you also get a screen protector with it what is much better than the original one.

Hiya guys. Just received my phone today.
I have ordered one of these Beyza SlimLine Leather Pouch Case.
Has anyone had one of these before, and what was their view of it?
Looking for a slim (protective) case, whether it be silicone or leather, pouch or flip-case, so that I can carry the phone in my jeans pocket.

I'd support that. Got the Bugatti SlimCase two weeks ago, and I'm quite satisfied with it.
PROs:
- Sturdy, quality leather case, offers good protection for the HD.
- Fixed belt loop. (yes there is a belt loop on the back - hard to see on some pictures). No clip that can accidentally slip off your belt.
- Slim fit: The HD's a slim device, and this case doesn't add bulk to it. Sits tightly against the belt, so no bulge at your waist. Comfortable to wear even under a business suit.
- velcro fastening: No chance of the HD accidentally slipping out of the case.
- Good fit around device: The HD fits in just right, and it's not too tight (so no unnecessary pressure on the screen).
- EasyOut strip, really easy to operate: Undo the velcro and pull the strip in one movement - hey presto, the HD is lifted about 1/3 out of the case. Couldn't be easier.
CON:
- Putting the HD back into the case is a bit more fiddly: The EasyOut strip gets in the way, or gets twisted. Not easy to do with one hand.
Overall, a really good belt-able case, and a real bargain too.
(I got mine from Amazon for ~ 10 € incl. P&P!!!!)
N.
You got to watch out for some of those cases on Ebay. I bought one for my X1i when I had it and because it was kinda tight ( needed breaking in ) it wore the paint down on an edge near the control panel. It was felt lined but the outer shell felt more like synthetic leather.
Krussel case here because of the quality and the Multidapt system, my last five cases have been Krussel so I have all the belt clips, windshield brackets etc. already.
Does anybody know if there'll be a pouch for the diamond 2 like for the diamond? Or simply will the Diamond pouch fit the diamond 2?
the diamond 1 pouch does not fit the d2
Don't think there is an official pouch, pdair have quite a few different ones available tho.
G
If you look at the Tracy & Matt unboxing video, its shows an HTC Pouch in the box. However, everyone so far has said it doesn't come in the box. Conclusion? I think there is/will be one, but it will a separate purchase like the with the D1.
I've been looking at the Beyza pouch for the Samsung Pixon. The Pixon has identical size stats to the D2 (well its 1mm wider), so if its just a pouch you are after, that may fit the bill.
Pdair are now selling a vertical pouch without belt clip, just ordered one myself.

Not sure how long delivery will take but will do when I get it.
Horizontal Pouch, HTC Brand
I bought this one: http://www.negrielectronics.com/touch-diamond-leather-pouch-p-2424.html
It is a Velcro closure and the phone does not fit well. further, it does not have a hard side to protect the touch screen. I assume this is a general case by HTC. I bought this, but I will probably continue to use the case from my Trinity, the fit is the same but this at least has some protection on the sides.
In a word, Disappointed. I am not sure why they skipped the case, and then fail to offer a decent one at launch time.
http://www.noreve.com/index.php
Looks like Noreve are going to do one too. Expensive, but nice, classy cases. See upcoming products at bottom of web page.
Asia model comes with those pouch similiar to original Touch Pro.
http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/?prod_id=3306&tid=4110889
Just be aware of these pouches
I did not get one with this or the TD1 ... with the TD1, the original one went on stock very quickly and I bought it for almost £10!
While the fitting was slim and snug, I couldn't help thinking that the tight fit had potentially caused light scratches on the rear (front I was not bothered as it had the protector on)
On the day I sold it, I did a very intensive clean on it and noticed there were indeed scratches that corrosponded with the pouch.
It only takes a small bit to be trapped in the pouch - you then slide the TD1 in and that bit goes down with it
I still don't know however what I want for my TD1, at the moment, I am using the original Ipod velour case that was bundled with I think the original 20gb ipods!

Yes, I prefer this pouch too. Unfortunately the HTC designation of that pouch is not mentioned on their website (i.e. the HTC PO S390 as for the D1), so a purchase seems to be tricky....
I just bought this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360151845729 since i want as thin as possible.
This isn't going to appeal to everyone since they aren't bargin basement cheap but I've just got one of these cases delivered this morning. I went for Nappa cowhide black B on the outside and red suede leather for the lining with no belt clip attached and hidden magnet closure. The case itself looks fantastic, stiching quality is excellent (not a loose piece of thread visible anywhere) and overall protection where its needed the most (on the screen) is hard to beat with the wrap over flap on the front. It took a couple of weeks from order to delivery, but for a case which is made to your own specification, right down to having your name embossed on the front, that isn't bad. If you want a quality product made to you want it, and personalised, give them a go, I'd definitely recommend them. They do a range of different styles so if a fold over horizontal pouch isn't to your liking have a look at the other options.
Nice, i just orderd one too
Nice cases, not cheap although they look very nice...
I have found my HTC Kaiser case that came with phone and I'll use that until something better comes along.

Got the case yesterday, it adds quite a bit of bulk so if you're looking for a really slim fit then look elsewhere, other than that it is of good quality and has a nice professional look about it so is ideal for work. It also offers lots of protection for the device.

@galvinize: is it possible to take the belt clip off? doesnt look like in promo pictures - but in yours.
edit: could you please take a picture with the front up - or is it just a sliding case?
so after finding out there is not an otterbox case for the g1 (booooo!) I have started to think that it would be great to find another styled case that is snug fit for the g1. That got me to realizing the lack of snugness in most g1 cases is from the keyboard and having to flip out the screen. I got my g1 off of ebay and it came with one of those little thin plastic cases and a little plastic case i slip the g1 into. Also the keyboard flipping out is the only flimsy part of the phone and I like my phones to have a solid build. THus...
does anyone use any cases have a very snug fit (like otterbox) but that does not allow the keyboard to flip out. I have begun to like the on screen keyboard especially after using it in landscape mode. Perhaps I can go without hte keyboard and then when needed, take off the case and be like 'ha! take that trendy iPhone user!!'..
so any cases that will enclose the g1 leaving the trackpad and buttons and screen exposed???? I guess the cases do not have to be made for the g1 but should be tested and fit snugly (did i mention i like a snug fit?)
cheers

Modify your own case....that's the only option. The G1 has a terrible design, Ill admit it. The cases that were released for this device were awful....believe me I owned six of them and guess what I use now...No case...just the stock pouch that I thought was "Dorky" when I got it.
I keep it in the pouch so that way the phone doesn't get messed up in my pocket...and when I want to use the phone I pull it out of the pouch and wala.
Not to mention that I really like the feel of the G1 with no case on it in my hand.
For the record though, the best case I ever owned was the Body Glove. Problem is that it starts to fall apart after awhile (like most things).
It fits very snug though, and I know thats a priority for you.
I use a silicone case which fits around the back and the chin. For the screen, I just use one of the plastic pieces from one of the harder cases. Seems to work without adding too much bulk.
do you guys have links to your cases??
still looking for a rocking otterbox style case for my g1..
is there any phone that has the same or close dimensions that an otterbox would fit on a g1?????

Alright, The case the box came is in is kind of girly, anyways the quality of the case is amazing! It doesn't feel like it was cheaply made at all. It doesn't add too much bulk and I can still fit it in my skinnys(Levi's 511 Skinny 29 x 30) front pocket. The buttons are easily accessible even the the volume button being covered by the front flap it is still easy to press / locate since the case has a steep cut out for the volume buttons. Aswell as the S-Pen being so easily accessible. An added perk i liked about this case is that the speaker hole is actually covered by its own mesh. It also has an accessory hole so you could attach an accessory / lanyard to it. The Magnetized kick stand does not interfere with signal(atleast none i can tell).

Zenus cases are the best I've seen so far for the Galaxy Note. I was thinking of getting this one as well but the color combinations just don't do it for me. Also, there's not cutout for the front speaker so it would be a little awkward to have to hold the front leather part back every time. I like that the case clips onto the metal part on the side and doesn't rest on the top of the phone so that a screen guard will thankfully be left untouched. I also love that it has a stand (The only reason I'm not getting the Zenus Masstige Stripe Case). I was wondering though, when the stand is set up, does the little latch (idk what it's called lol, the little thing used to clip on to the front cover to close the case) hide a little part of the screen since presumably, it'll be hanging down a little bit?
EDIT: Ordered it lol. It may have its flaws but it's the best I could find at its price range.
I have one of these (different colors, but this color looks great).
They are extremely high quality. As good or better than Vaja, for instance.
I've posted this before, that make sure you pay more and get the leather ones, as they have a few lines and some of the lines aren't as good quality.
This particular case is just great. The flap is a tad annoying but well worth it overall.
Note: one thing worth mentioning is that they are very light also.
would it be okay to use this case with a FULL skin applied? Ie. sides and back??
i'm sure the front would be okay, but just wanted to see if the sides of the phone with skin be okay.....
i've been looking at cases that have the flip cover, but they all look like it would peel off the side skins..... this one looks like it like it might be okay.

Hmmm...that's a tricky one. Obviously, it clips in tightly and securely so it might damage the skin during insertion and removal but once it's sitting in there, as long as you don't constantly remove it, it should be fine. I would recommend going to a store and testing out either this case or similar leather cases, but then again, if you harm the skin in the process, then this whole discussion is useless lol. On another note, why use a skin? The note is such a beautiful sleek beast. I wouldn't want to hide away any of the sides or take away from the beautiful protruding glass. That's why I hate my current Capdase Jacket XPose and am going for this case. Just increases the beauty XD. Anyways, yes, back on topic, I wouldn't recommend using a skin with this cover but hopefully someone who's actually tried it will reply.
Side-note: I ordered the Wine-Red / Dark Brown version

These Zenus cases look great and seem very usable. But the downside is that they have a magnet at the back that interferes with S-pen functions (not with the signal). Check in the screen area in front of the magnet by trying to draw several long thin lines with the SPen that cross this area. That case was a money waste for me...

I got these symptoms after a couple of days usage. I contacted the dealer and got a substitute with Capsule Stand Slide Series - White / Lime
When I got my Note off CL came with the Eel leather case. It's slick but I wish it was the capsule.
