Looks good
Will there one of those funky skins soon too?
The way it holds the Device looks very good.
But you have made the same mistake as proporta with the magnetic strap You put it on the back so it acts like a really annoying claw on top of the device. When you take a call it really gets annoying as it first tries to cover the speaker when you put it to your head. Then after you have moved it out of the way it rubs on your head getting even more annoying.
IMO it would be better to have the strap on the front panel so it then fixes on the back (just like original XDAII case). This gives a lot cleaner look on the front and stops the annoying claw effect.

Hello sparkyxda,
a JAVOSkin (with strap) is coming in the near future, but unfortunately we do not have an ETA at this time. So please stay tuned!

Hello Dingo,
Thanks for your awesome suggestions and comments! I do agree with you on the strap, I will forward this to our product manager and bug him some more about the strap issue
I will keep an eye out for a new version :wink:

I really like the four bracket design but the magnetic closure is a pain - I'm never confident about leaving one of these near my wallet!
Does anyone have any pics of the device in the actual case?? Javoedge you know that alone would help people make up their minds.
also can you slide the keyboard out with this case?? include pics of that also
Hello everyone,
Thank you for your inquiries.
I believe the review of this case linked below will answer most of your questions.

Please do let me know otherwise.
Thank you!

I am afraid the keyboard cannot slide out while inside the case.
I apologize.
since you are asking our advice maybe you could give us a discount?? :lol: then it might get around the board a bit more :lol:
As well as looking smart, for my money a case must protect your device. It would appear from the pickies that the top left and right corners aren't protected (certainly not with any wrap around from the case). My XDA2 was seriously damaged after I dropped it - it inevitably landed on the top left corner and the on/off switch would no longer function (case cracked too). The aluminium case looks as if it would do the job (sorry to report that I bought a Proporta ally case - but only for the protection offerred - not for its looks). Fuctionality is also better with the ally case - I can use my phone and any other button assigned programmes without having to open the case. I would still much prefer a leather case if it offerred protection.

really, this is pretty much like a "small group survey" ... in marketing jargon
Not good case. protectionand accessibility. This case have 80% protection and 0% accessibility. I need to open front cover to access the buttons and make a call. Who need a credit card slots in PDA case? I think so far most successful case is Brando. If you would make the same idea but with transparent front, your case will beat up every other models, because is no any really good one on market today.
If the T-mobile/imate/qtek version of the HTC Wizard is the more popular of the 2 types (100 and 200) then why doesn't anyone make a silicon case for the MDA instead of the 8125? Any ideas?

The hell if I know, but I know i'd buy one in a heartbeat... I already dropped my Wiz on the third day I had it, I don't wanna do that again, and if I do, i want it to stay in one peice this time.
I'd rather suggest to buy an hardcase, it makes the phone a little bigger it's true but it has the advantage that absorbes the hits more than a silicon one and protects your screen, plus if you have a BT headset you don't have to handle the phone and can comfortably take it in your bag or jacket whic is what I do.
I bought one on ebay for few pounds and I'm quite happy with it.
Of course depends on the usage you make of your handset, if you particularly handle it than would be a bit un-functional , nevertheless the silicon one will give you the same issue.
You are incorrect. A hard case will transfer the momentum to the phone more so then that of a silicone case; it absorbs less energy. It is the same idea with low profile tires.
I Found it...
Okay, turns out I was wrong. They do make a silicon case for the WIZA200 (MDA), it's just hidden REALLY well. It looks rather nice. Can't wait to try it.
Thanks to Aviv for a little help in the right direction...

I agree thats pretty messed up. We are drooling looking at your TC while knowing that our Christmas will be a little less festive without ours.
I'm not Cruel, but HTC. . . .has wet our appetites
It's all in HTC's hands. . . .sorry about that, but thanks for following the thread. You will not be disappointed with this phone (when it arrives). I don't intend to be cruel, just trying to give a comprehensive overview of the device and in this thread, how it can be docked at your desk.
I had one of these for my old O2 XDA Orbit: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/12706.htm
I can confirm that this DOES NOT fit the new HTC Touch Cruise. The bit behind the device is too curved which means that the TC has to lean forward and so it won't line up onto the USB plug which is angled backwards in the cradle. The positioning is OK left/right but the angle is badly wrong so it won't go in.
It's a shame because I liked this cradle, it was small, cheap and unobtrusive on the desk and I'd got quite addicted to just dropping the device into a cradle. I hope someone will post experiences if they find a similar device that does fit. The Universal Cradle that started this thread looks too big for me.

cradle for Polaris?

I have the touch cruise and bought this cradle. The cruise fits fine in it. The one btsanev linked to looks nicer though

Are you sure we're talking about the same cradle? I bought mine in December 2007. Maybe they've changed the design because we can't both be right and I'm sure that neither of us has any reason for posting wrong information on this forum.
To try and get to the bottom of this:
1) When did you buy your cradle?
2) Are you sure it is exactly this model?
3) What angle is the USB plug relative to the vertical? My slopes backwards by about 20 degrees. I think that if there was even 5 degrees less rake on the connector then my TC would fit.
Until/unless Baimo and I can get to the bottom of this then I really wouldn't recommend any TC owner buying the cradle I linked to unless you view it as sufficiently cheap to just take a risk that this might be down to batch/manufacturing tolerances.

Thanks for the info. That one is definitely different to mine. Mine doesn't have that flat recessed bit at the rear of the device and it looks as if mine has much more rounded corners in the receiving area at the front of the device (the bit where the USB plug lives) which is the big problem with mine because those rounded corners mean that my TC can't sit back in the cradle so it won't align with the USB connector.
Is your TC a comfortable fit into this cradle or is it a case of it just fits but it's a bit tight?

Not at all tight, slides in really easily. You can tell it's not designed for the TC as it tilts maybe 1mm one way or the other (left to right) where the shape of the base doesn't exactly match the curve of the TC, but it's good enough.
My Brodit car holder for Artemis is fine too.

This is not available yet. I have call the guy in Hong Kong/China but he sounds like that he is waiting for enough order before he starts to manufacture it. I wonder how many of us will be interested in having one? If there is enough interest, I have connection in HK and will be able to import it to UK.
One of the first accessories I like to buy for any new device I get is a replacement (fits in OEM silo) Pen stylus. I know the Touch Cruise is new, but has anyone seen any stylii that are pens and fit in the device?
TIA!
Hi - the TC comes with a spare or Expansys(UK) are selling some here:
http://www.expansys.com/a.aspx?i=159608&atype=Stylii
Though showing estimate delivery of 9 days from today...
Thanks for the reply. However, I am looking for a combination pen-stylus that fits into the existing silo slot of the Cruise. The link you provided was for stock replacement stylus which is not a pen.
Oops. Sorry. Will post again if I find what you need.
doubt you will find one, the size of the stylus on the touch cruise would surely be too small to fit a combination pen/stylus

Is such a stylus available for the Artemis? If so then it would NOT fit the Touch Cruise because the bit of black plastic at the end is a different shape but it would demonstrate that such a thing is possible because the overall dimensions of the two styli are identical. (I just slid my Artemis stylus into my Touch cruise and the diameter fits perfectly, the overall lengths are identical, and the only reason the Artemis stylus won't push fully into the TC is because the plastic bit at the end is longer relative to the overall stylus length compared to the TC stylus so it fouls the edge just at the last 5mm or so of travel into the device.)

haven't got mine at the moment but how thick is the stylus? 2mm, cant see how a mechanism for a 3 in 1 would fit in such a size

Definitely bigger than 2mm. I just held it up against a tape measure and the diameter looks to be just a shade over 3mm, probably about 3.2mm.
- Julian
still think its not thick enough even at 4 mm, have you ever seen anything like this that is less than 1cm+

I have gotten (in the past) a 3-in-1 for every device I have had except for the collapsible KJAM stylus. One will become available for the Polaris. The stylus is not that much different from other devices.
Re my previous message, this will almost certainly NOT fully push home into the receiver on a TC (because of the different profile of the black plastic thing on the end) but it IS an existence proof that such a device is possible within the form factor of a TC stylus.

That's what we need. I am sure some US distributors will pick this up soon. HTC just needs to get the damn device out there in more quantities.
They will deliver to the us but it wont be cheap, probably about $60

Ouch. I love my pen-stylus combo's but not for 60 bucks. I'll wait 'til a US distributor comes along.
If i see anything ill let you know, am i right in thinking that the Polaris stylus is the same as the orbit 2 stylus
that looks sweet...can't wait for it to be avail. in the US!
i'm sure by this summer when the TC starts to become more popular over here we will start seeing alot cooler accessories for it.
It's just a matter of time...the waiting game def. sucks tho

If an Orbit 2 stylus is the same as an Orbit 1 then no, the Polaris stylus will not push home fully into the Orbit housing. Read my previous posts in this thread (including the one on page 1 of the thread) for details. If Orbit 2 stylus is different to Orbit 1 then I don't know.

Wow I love that!
Hi all,
Pretty simple request here. I'm looking for a stylus pen that I can use with my Transformer. That is, a pen, with a rubber - or whatever it is - bit at the top, so that I can flip the pen around and tap away.
Reason is, 99% of the time, I have one or more pens in my pocket for college, so I'd like to have the option to use them as styli(?) as well.
Sounds simple, but I haven't had much luck in finding one. Main thing here is price. I want them to be cheap enough that I could order a few and loose one without caring too much. (~$3-4 each)
No-one has looked into this before? I can't be the only one out there interested.
Here you go-

Hey, been thinking of buying a few of these, seems to be perfect. Take a look around the site though, that have some 2 in 1 types thats double as an actual pen, and smaller ones that can hang from the headphone jack. Keep in mind it will take a few weeks for the order to get to you, but it will be worth the wait.
I have bought some neat stuff from them before, you get what you pay for but the stylus above looks to be a great deal.
Edit:
Found that 2 in 1, a little more expensive but is what you actually wanted.
I never even thought of looking on DX... Thanks very much!

I made my own using the foam that the IC chips are on...i found none on the market that suited me. Just look at you tube for DIY pen stylus...it worked out okay.
Thanks for mentioning DX, never thought to check there either. Ordered one to see how it is, hopefully I'll receive it before Christmas!
