I currently have an HTC silicone case for my HD, which is OK but I'm not delighted with as it is a looser fit than I expected. So I'm thinking of getting another case or cover - ideally a case and ideally one which is compatible with a desk stand (I don't even know if the HTC silicione case is compatible with any desk stand, so info on that would be apprreciated). Has anyone any suggestions or advice?
thanks in advance.

Good cases, no complaints, configurable too.

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.

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!!!

I have a krussel case for my nokia 6620. I thought another krussel would not be a bad choice. Although if anybody has a wonderful case they can suggest that is great.
Basically i want a case that is always on, since i can drop the unit when its not in the case that was included.
I have the PDAir Aluminium one, and think it's great. I'm very rough with my electronic toys, since they are "tools" for me, and a good tool has to stand me Also bought some pretty leather case (don't remember the name), because I thought it would be a bit smaller than the PDAir, but it wasn't, and you don't see the screen with those, so I'm back to PDAir. Looking at all the scratches it already has, it seems it does it's job well...
Re: Opinions on this wizard case? Seems to fit great and pro

Is it possible to extend the keyboard without removing the phone from the case?
:?:
Yup I got the solid aluminium for travel and running around and the Krussel Cabriolet is on order for evening out or light use.
Cy
I think Krussel is the best. The prices are another story, this is about 50$.
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLK-PIEL-FRAMA-...3QQihZ005QQcategoryZ48673QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
does the cabriolet from krusell protect the screen with some type of plastic over it? or does it just expose the screen?
this is the one im referring to
http://cgi.ebay.com/Krusell-Leather...QQihZ008QQcategoryZ108604QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
That case doesn't protect the screen at all
Is it just me, or are the Monaco and PDAir cases identical (including the same pictures!)??
Monaco vs PDAir
More importantly, does anyone see a problem with one of these Case & Car charger combos on ebay?
has anyone ever got/seen one of these before?

looks absolutly fantastic, and lets you use the keyboard too.

Hello there. I have the silver aluminum case. I really liked the case after I got use to it. The only problem, my phone would freeze. Lock up totally. Only way out was to hard reset the phone. I know this sounds rediculous, but I've ruled out everything else. Ever since I stopped using the case my phone hasn't needed even a soft reset.
Currently I am using this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230007898731
But I just heard about this on XDA's site:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Cingular-8125-V...ryZ48673QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
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.

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

a small rant.........
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.
Hey everybody-
I'm new to the forums, so welcome all.
I recently purchased the Trident Aegis case for my HTC Flyer. My regular phone is an HTC EVO 4G, and I have the Otterbox Defender for that, and the make-up is fairly similar in the composition of them, which I like. I'm the kind of guy that sticks to OEM stuff, to keep things simple and clean.
Anyways, I travel a lot, and I always throw my tablet in my bag for commuting. Unfortunately, even though it has the case, I'd still like a neoprene sleeve for it while it's being jostled around in a bag for a few hours at a time.
I guess beggars shouldn't be choosers on this one, seeing as the Aegis case does a wonderful job already, but does anybody have any suggestions on this one? I'm not looking to get a generic case for an ipad as that's sort of too bulky for me.
This perhaps:
http://www.bodyguardz.com/universal-tablet-sleeve-protection-cases-covers-sleeves-shield.html
I was considering buying it, but when I saw it was as big for 10" tablets, I decided not to get it.
and I don't know why they call it "universal". They should have just called it an iPad sleeve.
Edit:
Here are some others I found:
These looks like the only few that may be big enough to accommodate the flyer with the case on it. Just measure yours and see if it is suitable.

http://www.amazon.com/Kroo-Neoprene...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1321508604&sr=1-2
Also, I have an Aegis case just lying around and I'm not using it for a similar reason to why you want a case. If you do get a case, please let me know which one so that I may switch to using the Aegis, as I'm sure it will provide better protection vs the current folio case I'm using.
Fellow asteemed geeks,
How snug a fit is the Standard cradle? Will a silicone cover work with one without having to remove it?
If folks do not believe it will work, I'll skip the purchase of the cradle. I want a cover that just stays on 24*7.

BEF

Not unless the cover is "wafer-thin" in my experience.
There is an insert that is removable in each of the docks, but it doesn't give you enough room with most covers.
Sorry. I wish they had planned better ... say multiple inserts of differing thicknesses.
You can remove the standard dock insert which will give you room to dock the phone with a case. With the Body Glove Mirage (soft) and Incipio Feather, I can dock the phone without that top plate installed. Downside is that it looks tacky and looks to put a lot of stress on the charging port on the phone since the top plate supports the weight of the phone.
I ended up getting the 'Ruggedized Battery Cover plate' from Motorola. There is a thread around here that details how you can get Motorola to send you one for free, although with the Atrix going EOL, it might not still be available. With this adapter plate you can dock the phone with pretty much any case that is not overly bulky (ie OtterBox Defender). Try searching for the thread on the 'Ruggedized battery cover' to find the exact instructions and part numbers you need.
