Is it possible: Same accessoires HTC Cruise/O2 Orbit 2? - Touch Cruise Accessories

Hello!
The orbit 2 in some details differs from the cruise, especally if you look at the housings.
Does this make any problems, using accesoires?
Can you use for example the same docking-station / car holder for both devices?
On the brando page they sell the same protectors for both devices. Looking at pictures of both devices, I wonder how that should work.

I can't comment on cradles, but the screen protector situation is confusing. From looking at pictures of the Orbit 2 and my own Touch Cruise I think that Brando either made a mistake on the web site or else you need to cut it to fit an Orbit 2. There is a thread in the main Polaris forum about screen protectors and someone has just got and fitted a Brando protector on their TC so it might be worth posting there and asking them if the protector came with a cutting template and/or instructions as to how to fit it to an XDA Orbit 2.
The other thing that makes me suspicious of Brando's claims for Orbit 2 compatibility is this other protector that someone linked to in that same thread above and the description on this one is very explicit in saying that it is not compatible with the Orbit 2. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBTOX:IT&item=220196689384&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI

Cases

In addition to the Vaja, Krusell and Brando cases. Is there something else out there that is not a leather case
Do you guys have a link for some cases?
I suppose with the case you cannot use the cradle, right?
What about the camera and keyboard?
I am interested in something like this http://www.expansys.com.gr/product.asp?code=115109&asource=IMATE_III_EU
Nutshell cases
I have bought a Nutshell case for my QTEK 9090. 2.5 Years ago I have bought a Nutshell case for my old and trusted XDA. Great quality cases, worth every penny . http://www.tuff-as-nuts.com
DjBac, Í've bought the following case:
http://www.pdashop.nl/product/3774/3614
You can still use the camera and when having the case "unlocked" you can even access your keyboard.
Henkjan
That's the case I am interested in too and found at expansys!!!
But how can you have access to the cam?
Thanx a lot!!!

Hi Siliconaddict,
Refering to the Nutshell case for your QTEK 9090, is it hard to pull the unit out of the case? Will your thumbpad slides out while u're pulling it out of the case?
I'm very interested in getting 1 for my XDA IIs.

I got the Case today!!
Great quality.. One question though...
Do you have the plastic transparent film between the keyboard and the top of the phone or just on top of the phone?
I hope you understand what I mead!!
Well i am looking for a cese to but can't decide yet what i want exactly. I had a palm Tungsten T and bought a piel frama leather case for it. And it was great quality.
But i can't decide if i buy one for my MDAIII.
Maybe someone has a piel frama and an MDAIII and can tell me what he/she thinks about it.

case for PDA2k
I bought the Krussell Case from the Imate store out of Saudi Arabia.
I suggest the Multidapt product line, this way you can switch out the clips that go on you belt or your pocket.
Well i don't think that case would do for me. I am realy intressed in that pielframa case. But one thing i worry is that if u carrie SD cards in it.
Are those things not pressing on the screen of your MDAIII.
I don't want scratches on my screen. I am looking for some good screen proctetors to.
But first the case.

The link that Ishnohiwa provided, seems to point to a Piel Frama.
Personally I've had a Krusell Multidapt with my o2 XDA II for months and never lost one SD card (I always carry my SD 1GB and Sandisk WiFi 0MB wherever I go). That's why I'll be sticking with Krusell when I get my o2 XDA IIs in the next couple of days.
In terms of screen protectors, I've had a chance to try many but none can match the eXiM Screen Protectors!!They rock!
Here's a link to a review on the Exim Screen Protectors on TheGadgeteer and another one by my good buddy Mike on Mtekk.

Desperatly seeking a slipcase

Hi ive just moved from the TREO600 to an O2 xda mini s and i hate the belt clip case that comes with it , anyone know of a simple slip case (like the treo) that works with the xda/kjam/dopod 838/mda vario ive done some googleing but cant find anything
thanks
Matt
www.tuff-as-nuts.com
Good cases, no complaints, configurable too.
Cheerio
Howard
Nice one they look perfect , though the case that fits my device has been suspended
I use a Magician Case, (I-Mate JAM) I used to have the Magician and this case was very good for it, the mini-s fits snuggly in it now and it has stretched a little over the course of the year I've had it.
Cheerio
Howard
ok here are some suggestions while you look for your perfect slip case... by the way are you looking for a horizontal one or vertical one?
--
ipod mini sock [it stretches... used this the first few days I had my wizard]
one of those oakley shades cases cum wipes [dual function there]
--
I think most SE P800 or P900 cases would fit the mini S [well actually from comparison shots it even looks like Treo cases would fit as well]
--
currently I am using a aluminium case for my wizard.
Hi ive tried the treo and an ipod case they are both a quite tight, i could attempt a stretch but id prefer a solution that doesnt need modding Oh and im looking for a verticle slipcase just like the Treo's no belt loop etc justa simple case.
Krusell
The Krusell Cabriolet ought to be perfect from what you're describing. It does come with a belt clip functionality but since it's Krusell you can replace this with any one of a number of options or simply remove it altogether.
There's a post over at PDANut listing all the case options.
i know its a little late, but im looking for a slip case as well and came up with this
Slip case
Timbuk2 Smartphone case. Fit perfectly
http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/retail/catalog.htm?categoryId=47
I got mine from Palm store
http://web.palm.com/products/Category.jhtml?id=180042&cat=b100016
Go to boxwave.com and make a request. They claim that if they get enough requests they release the product. Go to the link at the bottom to request a product for a device and then make sure "Flexiskin" is checked. It is probably a good idea to mention all the Wizard's aliases (MDA Vario, Qtek 9100, I-mate K-jam) so they see it is a device in alot of user's hands. I owned one of these for my Treo and it was outstanding.
Just an FYI to everyone:
I got my Krusell Verticalic Case today and it works GREAT for the 8125. You need to order the small-wide size (Model 94178). The websites don't list it as compatible, but if you pull out your ruler and measure your phone (believe it or not Cingular has the width wrong) you will see that it is a perfect fit for this case. I have a spring clip to wear with my jeans and a swivel clip to wear with my nicer work clothes.
I am psyched! I had been waiting for this thing to come in, as I was convinced it would fit despite it not being listed as compatible.
Also-if anyone is looking for a good place to get one of these...I can recommend sfplanet.com. I ordered mine from them on Sunday and I got it today (MN to SC). They also did a great job with some special instructions I left in the comments box.
Two thumbs up for the Krusell case and two thumbs up for SFPlanet.com!!!

O2 Orbit cradles?

Hello all,
I have ordered my "O2 Orbit 2" already - to replace my well used and loved Orbit (1). From the press pictures it seems that the Orbit 2 is extremely similar dimensions to the original.
Does anyone know if old Orbit cradles will fit the new Orbit 2?
Cheers!
Where did u order urs from? O2?

"Seems" pretty equal, but Docking does not fit perfectly.
I ordered one of these cheap Orbit (1) stations in ebay
and I had some problems to get the USB frickled in the right way
to fit in den port of the Orbit2. Anyway, it charges and it syncs.
But it's actually not equal to Orbit 1 fit.
See pictures here: PPC-Welt
Thanks Olioaglio - that's exactly what I needed to know. At least it fits, albeit with a bit of a wiggle by the look of it.
Underzone - I may have mislead slightly. I've ordered one, however it is through my companies mobile service provider, and not O2 direct. They told be on Monday to expect further delays - so its the same wait going through them as it is through O2.
Cheers!

PDAir are now offering a flip-type black leather case ... 1st I've found.
Probably not the highest of looks - I prefer Covertec myself - but cheap enough (USD$28) and will have to do until the real thing comes along (I always wanted to say that )
I just got my o2 o2(o2 orbit2) yesterday, it fits krusell Orbit Case for HTC3300 perfectly - except the hole on the back doesnt fit camera :-( but anyway i didnt buy it to use it as regular camera. So far i'm happy.
Anyone already found some cases like the one supplied? I'm looking voor a leather one the only one I found is this one http://www.beyzacases.com/cat_vs9.cfm
Boxwave are also selling cases (and other stuff): http://www.boxwave.com/products/dlcase/htc-touch-cruise-designio-leather-case_3046.htm
The credit for finding this goes to Dave Fields who first posted a thread here about Boxwave accessories for the Touch Cruise.

I immediately found the belt clip case for the Samsung Blackjack. It is a great fit and a well protected case.
Hi,
I have an Orbit 2 and goy the Pdair flip case last week.
very good and came the next day after ordering
Only issue is the lights on the front are hidden by the case, but for me thats minor.
All other holes for buttons, 2 x camera etc are ok.
Would buy another.
Cost £15 with delivery
The case for the Moto-Q actually works quite well. I got the one that's made by Motorola.

Krusell cases
I've been un touch with Krusell , They don't have a case for the HTC Polaris ,
but they promise that "Soon" they will release products for the HTC Polaris,
they promise to let me know....
so I will keep u poseted.
I tried it in the Artemis aluminium case from Pdair and it fits but is a little tight to close the front once inside, camera hole is wrong but otherwise this is the style of case I want, its saved my Arte from many a fall, the case looks battered but the device is still as new - Mike
I have this case, and am impressed with it.

There is silicone case for polaris ?
I've been very happy with the Bugatti cases I bought for both my XDA Mini S and original Orbit...
http://www.bugatti-mobilecases.de/html/index.php?lang=EN
Bugatti don't offer a case for the Orbit 2/Polaris yet, so I mailed them to ask when it will be available.
Their marketing department told me that it's not available in Germany yet, doh! So I sent them a link to the German O2 site, I await their response with anticipation...
Update: "The XDA Orbit 2 is available in combination with a long-term contract. The device without a contract is extremely expensive. The estimated amount of sold cases does not justify the expense at the moment. Hopefully we will have other possibilities to receive an original device. Please sign up for the newsletter. This seems to be the best to do at the moment."

Piel Frama
I've been very happy with my previous Piel Frama case for HTC Touch
and I'm a bit quite disappointed by my Boxwave case (except a very good price for a general good quality)
However, in order to get the top of the top leather case for my new Polaris, I will order the new one at Piel Frama
For sure prices are high, especially in US$, but the appointment with quality is set !
There are lots of different thoughts and opinions. But i have never used any cases before. So any suggestions to me is welcome..

Which case?

I was going to buy this Piel Frama case for my Rhodium, but I can't really see from the pictures whether I have access to the mini-USB or not. Anyone who can enlighten me? Can I use my headset while using this case?
Of course, I could upgrade to this wonderful case, but it is more expensive ordering from Spain, and it does look a lot more bulky than the classic model. EDIT: Ordering from Norway, it's around 400 NOK for the Classic case from the US vs close to 700 NOK for the iMagnum one from Spain.
Alternatively I have been looking at this PDair case which is a good deal cheaper, but I haven't found any reports on its durability and general usefulness yet. Did anyone here try it out? If so, is it any good?
While searching for the others I also found an aluminum exoskeleton of sorts and it does look cool I think. It doesn't add too much size and weight to the TP2, so it might be a contender as well. Again I ask for opinions
Hy
when i bought my TP2 i got a case very similar to the second one you post (this wanderful case)
i never used it.
it makes the Ppc huge. extremely unconfortable.
at the moment i am using a case which was designed for iphone or something like that.
it has a clip for the belt and a hook that goes on the jeans. it's basically like one of that sock but a bit better.
it's much slimmer, easy to access, secure and when i use the phone i don't have the case attached.
my suggestion is not to buy that cases, but go into some shop and try some up
ciao

That aluminum case looks like the tp2 would slide around in there. I've tried a few cases, but they all added too much bulk. Did find a cheap clear plastic one, and it's awesome. Looks great, fits better than any other ones, and adds hardly any bulk. CHeck this thread out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578050&highlight=clear+hard+case
This is what I have. It does add bulk to the phone but has saved my phone twice already.
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Elements-Rubberized-Tmobile/dp/B002JQRW68
Comes in 2 configurations, 1 for belt clip and other for pocket. You cannot have both as there is a notch at the back which is interchangeable depending on how you want to use the case.
* Another thing, I believe this case was designed more for the Touch Pro 2 for t-mobile as I don't have issues like the other reviewers had.
Tmob Version TP2 seems to be an Orphan amoung case makers
I am in the same boat trying to find a nice case that my phone does not have to be removed from to be used. In the past I went with Krusell cases and that was great for many years and different devices now the Krusell for the TP2 is known to be junk.
I would buy Piel Frama magnum from your post If I had the Reg Ver Tp2.
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-pro-ii-imagnum-cases.htm
Unfortunately I have the USA T-mobile Version of the TP2 and this phone is turning out to be the bastard orphan amoung case makers.
I have narrowed it down to two cases and would like any opinions for my Tmob TP2

With so many versions of the same model phone the waters are becoming murky. I wish they would just give them different Model Numbers and Names.
Thanks and Best of Luck with the search for the best case for our phones.

Just got my Touch pro2, with a htc pouch and htc case.
Case is fine, but I dislike to have to open it to get the phone out. Also, I can't use the usb while in the case, another deal breaker.
The pouch is better, but would like more protection.
What I found perfect is the slide case I got with my Touch pro. Sure one can get better protection, but considering how fast was to use the case and how small the case is, the phone looks like new without any scratches.
Any recommendations for such a case?
Last night i purchased ...
...the clear acrylic case from the AT&T store. It is a 2 piece case that snaps on AND has a touch sensitive screen protector. I do not like the plastic belt clips as I have bumped/snagged them on things and broken the clip. I prefer a holster type case (horizontal) as i carry another object directly on my side/hip.
