Hi guys.
I bought a MediaPad folio case that from SIKAI(HK company?)
It's really nice.
Thin, light and fit size.
The cover has magnet for stick close.
It is like iPad's Smart cover.
But I found a problem.
That magnet makes E-Compass wrong.
And too much near to top speaker and bottom mic.
Here's my question.
Is it comes serious problem when I use this case with magnet?
eg. Will E-compass damaged, mic and speaker damaged by magnet?
Don't have a real answer here other than I wouldn't want a case with a magnet like that.
I bought and modified a rooCase designed for Samsung 7" tab for my Mediapad, and found magnets in it. I removed them with an exacto knife.
can you post a photo ?

The case that comes with the K-Jam isnt as small as it could be so I would like to get a case that is a little more form fitting.
Has anyone looked at the leather case that pdair.com has for the k-Jam/wizard? I cant tell how it attaches to the K-Jam but I think its got a clear plastic sheet that fits in between the screen and keyboard and covers the keyboard. That is why I am reluctant to buy case. I had something like that for my PDA2K and I didnt like the plastic sheet in between keyboard and screen. It seemed that the screen would not slide so easily before using the case and afterwards the screen seemed to be loose and slide to easily. I dont want to mess up the tight feel of the screen / keyboard on this one.
If you know anything about this case or any other please post a response.

I am thinking of getting one of the cases on theis page: www.krusell.se. I like the Horizontic style. The cases are shown under the ETEN m500 size but the m500 and K-Jam are about the same size.
The Krusell cases are well made and fit well, but they are not smaller than the stock cases.
Look http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2089&category=16 or http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2128&category=42 although the pdair and piel frama are the only ones that allow you to use the keyboard whilst in the case. I have the pdair.com one and it fits my needs (I am able to use the keybaord quite effectively with the plastic cover (it doesn't cover all of it); I have had the plastic 'crumple' a few times but this minor problem is more than outweighed by the benefits.
these flip cases look quite good

I got the Proporta Alu leather case and it is very nice and allows keyboard usage.

It looks almost identical to the PDAir one. Nice aluminium insert which works with their magnetic car holder. Since when did aluminium react to magnetism??? (I know the probably have a thin magnet insert btw)
Hello,
These cases are also compatible with HTC Wizard:

Do you have the book style (landscape-opening) or the flip style (portrait opening) model?
You don't find any problem with opening and closing the keyboard, with that plastic insert?
I've had the PDAir leather case (flip format -- hinge on the bottom) for several weeks now -- it works pretty well for the most part. It's a bit tricky putting the Wizard in the case; the plastic bit that fits between the keyboard & LCD has a Velcro bit on the end that's a bit thick for the space provided. Said Velcro piece attaches to the case via a tab that folds up over the right side, between the camera button & IR port -- unfortunately it covers the reset hole.
The case is a bit loose-fitting, which probably can't be fixed without sacrificing the ability to deploy the keyboard; AFAIK, it's the only case that lets you use the keyboard without removing the Wizard from the case. It's not as good as the Krusell I used with my BlueAngel, but it's good enough.
I have been looking at cases for my HD and have not had much luck. I found a Motorola Q case that was a good fit but it was ugly. I almost bought it until I found another one but it had a very strong closure magnet and I though I would ask here first to see if there was any chance of harm to the devise from the magnetic field.
Thanks, dhatw.
I buy a new kaiser belt holster to use with THD. It fits well (when the band are not stretched). Not trusting those magnet thingy next to electronics.

Care to explain please???
Just bought a an expensive Piel Frama Leather Pouch for HD which has magnet ...
Well I have asked and searched and it seems that the opinions are split. I even spoke to HTC America and the dude said that he wouldn't recommend anything stronger than the magnet in the stylus. Now he has to say that but there might as well not be a magnet in the stylus because it is so weak. I read some where that the magnet in the speaker is more powerfull than the ones used in the cases but I do not have confirmation. I found a perfect case for the HD, it is for the Motorola Q but it has a strong (relatively speaking) magnet. I put a dinner knife on the inside of the bare case and it stuck pretty good. I am having a hard time with finding a good case that closes strongly but does not have magnets or velcro with degrades with time and sticks to everything.

I bought the new "Krussel - Orbit Flex" Case, made for HTC Touch HD.
http://krusell.se/products/1/?catid=75&productid=3622
It's a good quality and the price is okay. I got it in Germany for round about 20 EUR's, incl. tax, but it seems that krussell offers around the world. The case can be close with a little magnet at backside. Special features are the removable front lid and the multi - adapt - clip at backside.
The company give a "live-time warrenty" for this product.

pouches with magnets, my experience

Sorry for the late reply.
i bought a pouch with a magnetic closure for my new diamond. i used it for only half a day. my touch screen stopped responding from there onwards. but after couple of days it start to work again. i never used the pouch again.
also i can remember my touch dual waking up when i swipe it across the magnet and it sometimes automatically answered the phone in the process of taking out of a pouch with the magnetic closure. so i believe prolonged usage of this type of a pouch may ruin you touch screen devices. so be careful.
on the other hand I've never seen a pouch with a belt clip which doesn't have a magnet on it.. hm.. anybody have any other suggestions for a pouch without a magnet but with a belt clip??
In my quest for the perfect case I have encounterd ones with flaps that slip into straps. Like a belt end. I don't know if that came out right but basically you just slide the top flap into something. Of course there is always velcro, so long as you don't wear sweaters. I settled on a Blackberry knock off that fit the HD perfectly. It has the plastic spring loaded belt clip that I so wanted because they hold more securely than the leather covered belt clips that are on most holders. It does have a magnetic closer however and I have convinced myself after much reseaech that there is no reason to worry.
People, why all the worries about magnets. Old floppy drives are sensitive to magnets, also are physical hard drives. Neither of witch the HD has. It only has flash memory.
And apart from that, ive noticed this piel frama company making pda leather cases for quite some time now, all with magnets... guess they would be out of business right now if it destroyed all the devices that are put inside it eh
Im atleast looking to getting one of those piel frama cases.
My Pielframa have magnets i use it since 2 weeks and no problem at all.
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 have had one of these cases for a while, and really feel it is one of the nicer ones out there for the Prime, but lately the lack of a magnetic clasps on the back of the case has been bothering me for when I have the cover open. I have been looking to putting a thin metal sheet on the back under the leather back and then put some magnets on the cover. I was curious if there was anyone who may know of a good site to grab some thin sheets of metal that the magnets would actually attract to.
So I picked up a Spigen folio case for my Nexus 6 and was disappointed that it didn't come with a magnet in the cover for lock/unlock. Anyone mod their case to add a magnet or know of a magnet that's strong enough (and thin enough) but won't lock the screen when you put the door flush against the back? I'm thinking of buying a crappy $5 case off Amazon and just ripping out the magnet but thought I'd ask here for input. Thanks!

I've modded my vertical belt case. Thin neodymium magnets fixed at the outside (Superglue)
Screen swtchess off went N6 is in the case.
But when moving/walking the screen turned sometimes on. Causing battery drain.
Yeah neodymium are going to be way too strong unless its really small.
I have the same case having an additional magnet in the cover may ruin the cards sitting right behind them
