Anyone have any leads on sources of cases to fit the Wizard? The one that comes with the K-Jam look decent of first view, but since I'll probably want something nicer I figured I would get this thread started.

Well, an update on this, I picked up a Targus Small Camera case Model DCCS00 and while it is a bit loose front to back it fits nicely side to side. A bit bulky but functional and It is easy to insert/remove the device. Also it securely attaches to my belt so I don't have to worry about scraping it off on my office chair. It'll do until someone releases a 'made for' case.

any news with more cases to buy for the k-jam??
anyone?
I ordered and got this case for my wizard after it was recommended on another board. The guy said he found it at a mall in NY at a mobile phone accessory cart. I like it a lot. Fits perfect. The belt clip (although it isnt visible) has a built in swivel so you can wear it vertical / horizontal / or on an angle. I wear it at an angle and its so easy to place in pouch and pull out. I can also charge with the wizard in the case becuase it has a small opening in the bottom.

I just ordered an OEM blackberry 71xx slip case belt clip and Tre 6xx slip case from ebay.

I like to concept of slip case rather than attaching something on my belt.
I'll keep everyone posted here...
Review: PDair booktype leather case
I did a review of the PDair booktype leather case here:
http://www.onppc.com/forum/article_read.asp?id=12
Cheers, Sabesh.
I wonder if the flip type PDAir case uses the same technique to keep the k-jam in place.
I prefer the not so bulky cases. using the case that came with Treo 600 atm and it fits perfectly. slightly tight but it fits in my jacket pocket a lot better than any other cases that I've tried.
I have decided to give BB 71xx pouch a try. I had to stretch it a bit in order to get my qtek a nice fitting.

I am also in a process of streching my treo 600 slip case with a pair of socks and will post some pictures tonight when I get home.
Does anyone have an IPOd 2/3rd Gen slip case? Can you please try and see if it'll fits nicely with your Wizard?
Blackberry 71xx case
Just taken delivery of this case:
http://www.yourwirelesssource.com/shop/5/model/235388/accessory/245843/cat/31
(though from a uk supplier)
Fits nice and snug, and the slightly extra height of the case (about 5mm) can allow you to attach the handsfree kit to the bottom of the phone, son can be used without removing from the case (the voice dial button is also accessible, as is the power button).
A slight negative is that the sides/top corner still have the potential to be damaged on dropping, but I guess most type of slip cases leave some parts exposed.

For those using the WIZA100 variant of the Wizard...

Got this case this AM. It is for the dopod 838 or VPA Compact II. So far so good my only gripe is that the case doesn't allow access to the messaging and ie buttons [when closed] and it is kinda slippery [maybe use it in tandem with a neck strap or handstrap]

They have one for the WIZA200 models as well

Hi guys
Just received my ali PDair case - ordered Thurs night arrived this morning, outstanding service!! A great case too!!
Simon
I heard something about Aluminium cases and low gsm signal..
Are you having that kind of experience on your ppc ;
I currently have the Htc Wizard/ qtek 9100 and i am looking for a case.
Probably i'll go for the leather one.
no signal problems for me so far been using it for almost a week now... of course signal strength is also determined by your network coverage as well not only your device
Hi
Just checked on the signal stregth, one room in my house has a very weak GSM signal for Vodaphone and when using the PDair case it drops by 1 bar.
Must be shielding

Plastic screen cover
Does the aluminum case by PDair have a plastic screen cover to protect the screen like the Armor Case by Boxwave (www.boxwave.com)?
yep they have hard plastic screen
PDAir Case
Sabesh mentioned velcro in his review of the PDAir case. Does that mean there is some 'sticky pad attachment' to be done. The case says it closes with magnets, so I can't figure out where the velcro comes in unless it's to secure the handset. if that means sticking something on to the handset then I'm not so keen. i need to be able to get the handset out easily to fit in my car kit.
TIA, Davebo.
Hi I currently have the Krusell Cabriolet for my 8125, which makes using it like a phone very simple. However, pushing it out to use the keyboard without opening a bunch of progams because I pushed buttons in the process makes this a little suboptimal. I don't like the book cases or flip cases because I want my screen uncovered for my own convenience (I have screen protector film and I'm satisfied with that level of protection).
After doing some research, I like the simple styling of the crystal clear case for the 8125 (see links below). Because it snaps on individually on both sides, there is no obstruction to opening the keyboard, and there is no flap over the screen. It is not as elegant as a leather case and not as bulky or heavy as an aluminum case.
My only issue is that it doesn't appear that it is sold with a belt clip. From the photos, it appears that there is an opening to attach a belt clip. I checked the Boxwave site and though they sell clear cases with swivel belt clips on other models, they don't do with some, including this one.
So finally...my question is, does anyone know whether I would be able to purchase a belt clip separately or (1) does this particular case not support a belt clip, (2) it would not be advisable to use with a belt clip even if it was possible, due to design issues (e.g., snap on case not that durable or snug a fit and phone might pop off, etc.)?

Do these plastic cases cover the screen? It seems they do not, but it is not obvious from the pictures.
They dont' protect the screen. I have one for my mda, and left it on there for like 5 mins. It makes an already bulky phone bulkier. Plus it just feels cheap, especially when you're sliding the keyboard open and shut. But I got it for $10 shipped, so whaddya gonna do? Check ebay for cheaper prices.
(This was with the MDA case...but maybe the 8125 is made with some true craftsmanship so as to avoid these problems )
Thanks just what I needed
Just wanted to say thanks I have been looking for a case like this.
Take care
Cases don't fit 8125
Regarding http://www.daydeal.com/home.php?cat=2262, those cases fit MDAs but will not fit on an 8125. Although both have basically the same form factor, there are enough differences in the edges of the phones and mail/IE button locations that the case will not fit. I learned from experience.
Hi all
I haven't found any topic about this case, so here it is:
I recently bought a Tuff-Luv Executive leather pouch for my HTC HD.
http://www.amazon.fr/Tuff-Luv-Execu...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1235746989&sr=8-1
It is quite good, the phone fits very well in it (the camera hole is a bit too low but it is ok anyway). the phone can still be easily to removed from the case.
And it is one of the few leather cases for that phone, that has a hatch that opens to the lower part of the phone (sorry, can't find the words in English, you can see picture) so this is appreciable.
everything is easy to access: stylus, usb port even when the case is closed , volume control, audio jack. Plus it is less expensive than Noreve and Proporta cases (probably not the same durability, but this I can only tell after a while, as it seems to carry on well for now)
So I would gladly recommend it. Anyone else has this case ?
Hope it works out for you. Looks like a pretty well made case.
I'm still trying a few different cases for my HD.
First was the PDA Air book style but it didn't take too long for me to get concerned the two plastic arms that holds the unit in the case are not that secure. The unit can slide and as it is also a belt clip case last thing I wanted was my new shiny HD sliding out and bouncing on the pavement. :-(
Currently have a two piece case of eBay described as "black rubber". Really more of a plastic than rubber and it will do for the short term as only a few dollars.
Today I ordered a Krusell Orbit case. Has the removable flap which covers the screen. I am hoping that with the main section of the case still on the unit it will still fit in the cradle I have. (My cradle has a bit of space around the unit which I hope will accommodate the case)
Your case look good too but the flap attached to the rest of the case at the base so wouldn't allow the unit to sit in the cradle.
I found one on eBay, and I know a few people here have bought cases from the same seller. I'm just wondering about the practicality of the cover flap (see attachment) that hangs down during phone calls. Probably a shallow question, but I dunno how tough the leather might be; is it easy enough to fold the flap over, or do you guys just leave it hanging down?
you just leave it hanging down....
A top flip would be better?
Here's my venture into cheap ebay cases ..

Hi,
I bought a Krussell case from first2save on Ebay and am very impressed with it... I also have a horizontal case from the seller you mention but was never happy with the belt clip.
Regards,

leather case
The beauty with the Leather case with flip is that it virtually eliminates the annoying mis dialing so easy on the HTC HD as the case has a hard protector that makes it touch proof
I have a Krusell Orbit Flex from which you can remove the lid; works perfect
Has anyone found a leather flip case for the Pure?
The only ones I've seen that even come near are over $50
which to me is just too damm much for a case
Heres my take on it
Many complain the Pures a "fingerprint magnet"
OK Maybe so but I can't really see putting the clear "helicopter rotor"
body armour shell, because the don't protect against inpact damadge only scratch damage.
A flip type case that is not removed (I don't want a pouch type)
is one hand to open and you don't need to put the case somewhere while using it.
It will protect both the body and screen against impact and scratching
Leather is reasonably smooth so it wont snag going in and out of my pocket
(like the silicon ones can) Its a little thinner than the silicon and hard rubber ones too. I think same or more durable than Silicone.
Taking it a step further I am normally not a big fan of the belt clip
prefer the pocket but have been thinking about a modular mounting system
where I cold move the clip directly to a car kit or desktop kit for charging
Using the locking swivel clips would allow for landscape or regular viewing
And since the clip is the mounting point not an indentation or cup,
you would keep the case on even in the mount. the cover would just be flipped opened to the top or side when in use.
Now I don't claim to have created the idea I've seen a nice one
for the Diamond2 and a few extra swivel clips could adapt most
any car and desk cradle or mounts.
I've attached one one Ebay thats for the Diamond looks pretty good
But I've bought too many cases for Diamond where the clip just won't stay attached to the Pure.
The mfr of this case recommend I wait a few weeks the Pure Case is
coming in then. Like to hear pro's and cons from anyone who has a similar
flip style case. Also like to hear pro's & cons on which side the flip cover is on
Side top or bottom? Ideally you could use the camera while in the case
without the flip cover obscuring the lens folding arrangement or maybe a
hole in front and back covers so you could fold front over rear cover?
Also possibly cover fastens in half open position so a quick desktop easel.
Any thoughts?? what am I missing (aside for individual preference)
I've obviously got too much time on my hands <BG> and there are
not enough actual cases for the Pure that are available for purchase .
I Love the Pure/Topaz

Heres the one for the diamond2 I was looking at
Item number: 200403300227
I like the mounting (leather straps not a clip)
But I think one with a side flip/ book style makes using the camera easiest
