Wanted to stop in and tell you that I think I have found the PERFECT bag. Had I known how great it would be I would have bought them all - Found it at Ross Department store and it was dirt cheap too.
It is made by Lewis N. Clark called the Frontier Collection. It is nylon - very thin nylon which makes it light as a feather. Holds your shift IN THE CASE which by itself is pretty heavy.. There is one main compartment, top zip compartment for the computer. On the back is a zipper compartment, as tall as the bag with pen holders - eyeglass holder or thin cellphone holder and a few other small pockets. There is a smaller compartment on the front - It is about half as tall as the main compartment but the flap closure starts from the top of the bag, so tall items would fit in there too. There is a small zipper pocket on the flap. I put my bluetooth headset in there and my cigarette lighter .. ughh .. still smoking. on the side is a zipper compartment that took me a week to find. It goes the full length of the bag.
I don't know the measurements of the bag, the shift case touches every corner, all the way to the top, but when you zip up, you don't feel like your are SQUEEZING your computer into the bag. It is as if the bag was made for our shift .. Maybe later I will take some pictures .. I say if you can find it, "BUY IT" ...
OH .. almost forgot. There is a wide strip on the back that if you wanted to, you could slip your belt through. .. All the stitching is great. You would think that because of the light weight maybe a seam would open .. That won't happen !!
Found the bag here: http://tinyurl.com/5vtdtr
Perfect bag ? hmmm, for you certainly, not for me !
Hmmm....
Sorry! Also for me not very useful. I like the original bag
link is broken, please repost, i'd like to see this bag
thanks.

Im looking for a good protective case --- Ive been riding my MTB and the phone is always in my pocket _(the pocket can get bumped into the steering wheel--i dont know the righ word for bike-- and the phone gets wet in my pocket from all the heat from me--phone is in original pouch--)_
So Im looking for a case that has a soft inside(so phone cant get scrached), metal or other hard and light material(like carbon, so the phone can take some hard hits in case i fall of my bike and get knocked in the road),, and the case must not be bulky (so it can fit in my pocket)..
Anyone knows a case like this or a similiar one??? I need suggestion for a good and safe case!!!
up it!!!!!!!!

just bought a PDair AluminiumCase for my Touch HD. seems quite protective around the edges, but has a plasticfront-window (so you can see the screen) and lots of holes (for cam, plugs, speaker and buttons) so at least it won't protect from any wetness.
its really lightweighted and adds ca. 2mm to the sides in thickness and is ca. 5mm thicker than the phone itself (there are ca. 3mm space between the screen and the frontcover.
inside its coated with a thin neopren, so no worrys about scratches.
but i think in terms of stability its the best you can get so far.
sorry for the bad english, i hope its understandable enough

one question -- does it fit in the original htc pouch???
your english is pretty good so dont worry we understand you!!!
No, it does not fit the pouch. On the other hand you do not need the pouch anymore. This case is really very robust and protects your phone optimally, 3 times already I've been most happy that my phone was in it - half a meter is no fun with the pouch or any less robust case...
this is plastic and leather but it's $3.48 including shipping: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.22615
I ordered mine a while ago and still haven't gotten it but that's Deal Extreme...
I also bought the pdair metal case. it is great but unfortunately it scratched my upper rigth corner a bit...
Did not scratch on mine. Sometimes, you may encounter "polish" traces, which can you remove by using a white rubber.
When you remove the device from the case, remove it either from the bottom or the top side.
did it exactly like you said, but while in my pocket the upper part of the case was kind of pressed against the hd and scratched it. unfortunatelly i have no camera atm, so i cannot make a picture.

Arrrrgh! I'm wondering if anyone has found a (leather) flip case for the AT&T Tilt 2 they are happy with?
My phone is a little over a month old, and I'm getting desperate. I've been temporarily using a clear thing (case mate) AT&T sold me with the phone (it was all they had that would fit) until I found something that would work for me. I've been reading here, and finally took the plunge to get the Designio case discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584093
Unfortunately, either I got a bad case or I'm being too picky or whatever, but I'm not pleased.
My criticisms are:
The PTT button completely covered by the leather support piece (not sure that's what to call it, but there's a leather piece that runs along the left edge, or bottom with the keyboard open). The PTT button is still functional as long as I press the leather piece just right.
The plastic over the keyboard does not fit snuggly -- it bulges up about an eighth of an inch along the bottom of the keyboard (the left side of the phone), which is annoying enough when using the keyboard, but that bulge also keeps that edge of the phone from closing flat when then keyboard isn't out. I carry my phone in a dedicated pocket in my purse, and I'm constantly finding dust & such that gets under the loose plastic keyboard protector at the bottom of the keyboard (left side of the phone when the keyboard is closed) since there's a gap along that edge from the loose plastic. That's highly annoying for me.
#2 might not be much of a problem if the magnetic closure was snug, but it's not -- IMO, it's off by a little over a quarter of an inch. This allows the top cover to slide around enough that the screen isn't protected when the case is closed (particularly the bottom of both sides up about 2.5" and up to 1/2" in from the bottom corners). If the magnetic catch was appropriately placed, it could also eliminate the gap on the left side of the phone when the keyboard is closed.
Clearly, this isn't the perfect case for me. I thought perhaps I was being too picky, but the Krusell case for my old 8525 doesn't suffer from these problems.
So, if anyone has found a flip case (preferably leather, but that's not a deal breaker) for the AT&T Tilt 2 that doesn't suffer from these problems, please share
TIA,
Saundra
i'm not entirely happy with mine, but mine seems not to have the problems that you are finding wiht yours.
i use the Capdase case, http://www.capdase.com/en/product4.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=48, and it's a soft leather case that comes in two styles, either a "book"/side flip, or the top flip which i got.
main pro is that it uses small tabs on all 4 corners to clip on to the lower/keyboard half of the phone, allowing you full access to all buttons, the usb port, and the keyboard, without any plastic in the way. the tabs also seem to be more robust and likely to last longer than the seidio innocase tabs which i used on my kaiser. those tend to wear down and break off after about 2 years of use.
on the cons, i dislike the flap, which only has room to store 2 microsd cards and 1 extra sim card. i've already lost 1 sd card, though i am not 100% certain if it was my fault or the case (i was showing the phone to some friends the night i lost it). it also does not have any storage space for a credit card or similar, even though it would've been minimal cost to add one.
if only i could have the flap from your case, and the base of mine. then it'd be perfect.
Thanks for the input! It does sound as though we could have the perfect case with your base & my flap.
I'm in the US, and I couldn't find any retailers for that particular Capdase -- lots for iPhones. Of course.
It looks like I could maybe get it through eBay, which is good to know in case I just can't get the Designo to work for me.
Thanks again!

Noreve
I am using the Noreve case available at www.noreveusa.com I like it a lot. It too covers the push to talk button, but since I'm using a custom ROM it has no functionality anyway. The Piel Frama case I had for my Original Touch Pro, there was that darn plastic sheet covering the keyboard and frankly I think that sucks. Granted the noreve case is squirrely when the keyboard is open, but unless you are able to drive and text or ride a bike and text or a motorcycle and text, well you'd do better to spend your money on a funeral plan than a case. My only complaint about the Noreve case is the belt clip sucks. I am using an old Piel Frama belt clip since it fits my belt better. I also personally LIKE the looks of the larger Piel Frama TP2 case, but most have commented on how ugly it looks.
If you're crafty...
As we've come to realize, ATT has delivered the Tilt 2 in a state that requires serious hacks to make the simplest changes. In keeping with that line of thought, I've modified a clear plastic case and added a leather flap with a pocket for credit cards and memory stix. And - Unlike some commercial flaps, when this flap is closed, nothing can slide out of the pocket. Here's how you can too...
Note to Boy Scouts: I've included more detail below than many of you here may need. After buying the case, reviewing the pix and the dimensions, you may be able to fore-go most of the tedious instructions below.
PIX
I've posted a series of pix on photobucket (sadly, I'm too new and untrustworthy to provide direct links to them here). To review the photos:
1. Go to the PhotoBucket website.
2. Click the Drop-down arrow on the right side of the "Search" box and select "People" for the search type.
3. Search for my id, "fractalcracker". Zoom in to view the 5 photos in the default album.
Plastic Case
Two-Piece (front and back) Plastic Case from the ATT store: $29.99 (ridiculous, yes I know...). Find it online at the ATTWireless website by searching "Accessories" for part number "75525". The Back piece clips on to back of phone and allows you to access all buttons and slide open the keyboard. After adding this leather flap, you won't need the front piece of the case.
Leather Pocket Flap
The leather flap is similar to a wallet pocket. In fact you might be able to cut a wallet apart to make the flap. I'll give you directions to make this one by hand from a small piece of leather. If you don't have scrap leather, cut up your wife's (or your own) purse. Good luck with that one...
Leather Measurements:
You'll need a thin, pliable piece of leather 4 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide. We'll cut 2 pieces as follows...
Outside flap piece:
3-1/4 inches wide from left to right.
4 inches high from top to bottom.
Pocket piece:
2-1/4 inches wide from left to right.
4 inches high from top to bottom.
Assembly
1. Cut leather pieces.
2. Lay the smaller (pocket piece) on the table so that what will be the 'hidden side' (inside of the pocket) is facing up. Align it so the narrow edge is closest to you.
3. Apply a thin bead of super-glue to the top, left and bottom edges of the pocket piece. The 4th, unglued side will be the opening of the pocket.
4. Lay the flap piece down on the table so the inside of the flap is facing up. Align it so the wide edge is closest to you.
5. Pick up the pocket piece and flip it over from left to right so the glue side is down. Align it above the right side of the flap piece and glue the 2 pieces together so the top, bottom and right edges are aligned.
6. To form the hinge, apply a thin bead of super-glue to the flap piece, running from top to bottom along its left edge (opposite the pocket).
For below - remember, we're only referencing the back side of the plastic case - not the front.
7. Lay the plastic case on the table, 'opening-side' up. Rotate it so the camera hole in the back cover is furthest from you. Slide the plastic case over so the right edge of the plastic case is aligned next to the left edge of the leather flap (pocket side up with pocket on the right side of the flap).
When we glue the flap to the case, we want the super-glued hinge joint to be about 1/16th inch below the face of the plastic case. That way, the leather flap will bend back enough to allow the phone screen to slide over it whyen you slide open the keyboard.
8. Stand the plastic case up by raising the left side and tilting it to stand on its right side. Align the right side of the case above the glue line on the left edge of the leather flap.
9. Press the right side of the plastic case down in place on the flap piece so the glue line on the leather flap is about 1/16th inch below the top face of the plastic case.
When it dries, press the phone into the plastic case and get on with your life!
May the force be with you...

Hi all,
bought this case for the sony tablet and it finally arrived this morning.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Navitech-Ge...3I4W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319289005&sr=8-1
I have not had a chance to go out with it yet, but first impressions are it is very well made with nice white stiching around the edges.
What I love about it is the fact you do not have to stick anything on the tablet it slips in and there is a fold to hold it in place.
It feels secure and safe and comes with an elastic which allows you to close it shut, or I use it to put my hand though to hold it better.
It also has space or 2 SD cards in the back, again a great idea to carry extra cards (might have to buy another 32gig card!)
when open and lying flat it seems to straighten out the folded design, so sits flat which worried me initially, but then found a way to sit it on the flap, and so you got more of an angle and the lap was protecting the smooth felt like material inside from any dirt on the surface.
Photos attached:
Does the ir remote work when it is in the case?

There is small hole on the case which perfectly aligns with the small hole on the tablet so I thought it would work, but just tried and it did not, unfortunately.
Although you can just unfold the small flap and then it was fine. A shame really, but it could be the devices i'm using, or maybe the hole needs to be cut a bit bigger...?
is it very thick when close lying down on the table?? n with the case does it weight a lot heavier?
Thank you for the post.

It does feel heavier, but not that heavy and I think knowing it's protected counters that...
as for the size, it is bulkier by about 1cm overall but again, the protection it provides does not put me off it.
Just the other day I took it out of my bag and had three marks on the cover where it's plug was pressing down on it.. luckily the leather took it all and no damage to screen.
that's mine

I just bought one of those, nice to know it works well.
Are you able to plug-in the power while the case is closed? Can't tell if there is enough space or not.
How comfortable is it to type when the tablet is at the last spot? Is it still too angled or comfortable?
I also own this case, the quality is pretty good, the only thing that I don't like is that - for me - it opens to the wrong side.
The Tablet S is designed to be held on the thick side of the wedge, so you have to open the flap to the right side. When you do so (and you can see it on the embossed Navitech logo on the flap) you basicly have to hold the case upside down. Otherwise it's great.
@fluxman: Yes, you can use the charger whit the closed case.
Seems like a pretty good case. Thanks for the review! I wonder if you could just widen the pin hole with a pencil or something.

Just ordered the Krusell flip case and then got the belt clip to go with it.
If you have any questions about these items then feel free to ask away and I'll tell you as much as I can as soon as it arrives.

KRUSELL MULTIDAPT LEATHER SWIVELKIT SWIVEL KIT 45 45MM BELT CLIP FOR CASE ORBIT
Clip
KRUSELL MULTIDAPT LEATHER SWIVELKIT SWIVEL KIT 45 45MM BELT CLIP FOR CASE ORBIT
Recieved my Krusell case the other day and its excellent in almost every way. The build quality is fantastic an even has that luxurious leather smell to it. Very strong and sturdy/well made case.
Flip cover folds downwards and can be slid off as well. I thought I wouldn't use the detachment feature but I use it all the time if I'm handling the phone a lot. You could even use the case completely without the flip cover and it would give you better protection than an Imak case (which I had first off).
It also has the option of a belt clip - which can be removed and Krusell has a lot of useful and different styled attachments. It comes with a alegator type belt clip that connects to the phone by a round plastic button attached to the case and this clip is a non swivel model - great for normal sized belts (thin/narrow).
I wear a combat style belt for work so I ordered the 45mm belt clip which slides onto the belt and can not come off without taking the belt off. The clip is a swivel clip and it clips in and holds super well.
Protects the phone very very well - there are holes etc but its made in such a way that its very hard for surfaces to come in contact with the phone at all. If you dropped the phone in this case it would be very well protected.
The cover looks as though it would probably outlive the phone.
The inside of the case is a soft suede leather which means that any dust or dirt getting in between the phone and the case is not going to act like sandpaper as in the hard cases - ie no scratching.
The only thing I noticed after a couple of days use is the the case loosened up slightly and the phone would move approx 1-2 mm out towards the top of the case making grabbing/sliding down the blind hard to access. I solved this by some double sided tape inside the case. I peeled off one side of the tape and stuck it to the inside of the case then slid the phone in and then gently pulled the case away from the phone and pulled the other side of the tape off with some tweezers and then pushed the case together - now the phone doesnt slide anywhere and is securely stuck inside the case and all the button/mic/camera holes line up perfectly.
Highly recommended and worth considering even if your thinking about an Imak style case because you can remove the clip button and the flip face and you have a similar but better case all round - the only drawback is possibly the price but compared to the price and capabilities of this phone I didnt think it too bad, especially if you work in moderate to extreme conditions.
What do you mean the flip part can be left off? Pics?
It slides off from where it attaches on the back of the case. I'll get some pic's at some point.

I spose it does leave it a little "exposed" but this is so you can use the front facing camera and light sensors etc and even so its only a couple of mm and the leather on top of it is quite thick so to get something to touch that part of the phone I either have to aim the object at it or hold the phone at a 45degree angle to rub the plastic on the table. But then again with the flap on its covered by the clip strap.

Yip thats the one.
I ordered my Lumia 920 on Friday and it should arrive sometime this week but what I'm currently desperately looking for is a suitable case with a belt clip.
I already went through eBay.com, eBay.co.uk, eBay.de (Germany) and I also tried to find one through Google but all the cases I found either are
-vertical
-have no belt clip
or
-have no cut-out for the headphone plug
I already had vertical belt cases for my current phone (HTC HD2/Leo) before and they always got in the way when I sat down so those sort of cases are not really for me. And as I want to use the Lumia a lot for listening to music a case which won't let me connect the headphones while the phone is in it won't do it either.
So if anyone knows a case that would suit my needs/wishes I would appreciate that a lot
thx

thx but I already came across that one too but unfortunately it lacks a cut-out for the headphone jack
EASECASE is the best for customization
I have had great experience with the EASECASE store on ebay (sry for broken links, still under 10 posts.....):
stores.ebay.com/EASECASE/Lumia-920-/_i.html?_fsub=5875330018&_sid=149381558&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
I customized an AT&T Tilt 2 case 2 years ago and used it up until last Friday when the 920 came out. No issues like leather fraying off the belt clip, expanding over time due to use or stitching coming undone. I think you can get them to either put a hole for the headphone jack in the side you think you will have the top of the phone against when you carry it horizontally, or lower that same side so that the wall of the case is only half the height of the side the bottom of the phone will be against. I saw some old pictures once where someone wanted to charge the phone while inside the case and they cut one wall in half and finished the edges to match the rest of the case stitching.
Here is the customization page of the case I have for my Tilt 2 but for the Lumia 920: stores.ebay.com/easecase/pages/D1
I used BU Cowhide Black for the case exterior, Black microfiber interior, 2 hidden magnets for the closure and Belt Clip style 02. Pretty awesome to hold and the clip is wide enough so the strain of attaching it to your pocket, belt, bag strap etc.....didn't force the metal to start poking through the leather because it was divided along a longer surface than Belt Clip 01.
I also got them to monogram it using my Quake 3 tag even though it was longer than the maximum character length they specify. Nothing but good to say about them. Downside? They hand make to order and ship from China, so you will wait like 3-6 weeks. Upside? Best case of its kind for the money.
If you want a picture of my old case just ask.

Thanks for the suggestion
Unfortunately they are quite expensive (50 $ is A LOT of cash for a phone case IMO)
Glad to help. I also firmly believe that you get what you pay for and that buying once is better than buying multiple times because the case wears out. Also, most of the leather cases out there are quite flimsy compared to this one and very few are enclosed at the corners. This means that when you drop your phone, it may be protected from the impact but the corners will still get damaged. That was one of the deciding factors for me personally besides the belt clip style. Good luck with your search and let us know what you pick.
