Well I am not a happy bunny !!!
3 weeks ago I had the screen on my XDA II replaced for £160 after it cracked (my fault) and then I sold that unit and upgraded to an XDA IIi and less than two weeks of having that I have cracked the screen on that one, so bye bye another £160 !!
I have a pretty standard case which I wear on my belt but it doesnt seem to offer any protection if you lean up against something hard (no jokes please) as the screen is just behind the leather and the pressure breaks the screen.
Anyone suggest a hard (like proporta) case which I could clip onto a belt (for work purposes)
Many thanks
You need an aluminum case I think, but bulky but good protection and it has a belt clip.
I think I have decided on a proporta aliminium case - I know they do one with a belt clip which clips onto the back of the case but I dont trust clips. much prefer a belt loop that you can thread a belt through.
Proporta do a belt holster which you can slip it into, which for work purposes is the only time I would need to carry it on my belt.
Its more the waiting for up to two weeks that gets me. I really depend on it for work and stuff and having a Nokia 3210 loan phone just isnt the same
Hi All,
I can't decide which case to get for my XDA EXEC.
I would like to use it on my belt occasionaly, so one with a belt clip or loop would be preferred.
From your experiences, which case is the best to go for ?
Thanks.
The t-mobile 6315 case is the best I tried until now (my 3rd for the Universal). It is a holster type, as in, you carry it on your belt and take the Universal out to use it.
It is a surprisingly good fit, and it is very easy to take the device out and put it back in, at the same time, it is very safe when it is sitting on your belt.
The guy I bought it from at ebay has 2 left

And it costs you 1/4 of anything else you are going to buy out there.
Doesn't look like he ships to the UK though !
Does size matter?
atekant,
I looked up the dimensions of the iPAQ 6315 and compared them to the JasJar. Here they are:
iPAQ JasJar
118.872 mm 127.7 mm
74.93 mm 81 mm
18.542 mm 25 mm
So based on the demensions posted by HP and imate, the JasJar is larger than the 6315. Since I'm used to seeing demensions in inches/feet, I have no idea if these differences are significant. Do you find that the case is too small? Did you have to modify it? Because if not, I may end up purchasing one from www.casesonline.com, but get a slightly different color combo than the one you found on ebay. Thank you for any help.
This same guy has 52 under a different listing, very quick delivery BTW.

weather, the fit is perfect, not tight and not loose, the Uni just goes in & out easily, yet the clip is tight on the belt. This is actually near identical to the HP case (larger one) selling for U$49 retail.

I had the same questions when ordering it, and I was quite sure it would end up being too tight, but it is not tight at all.
The front, back, and the flip cover (with magnetic closure) is leather (I mean fake leather like substance, but not bad). The bottom, and the sides are elastic bands (about 1 inch wide) and have enough give to let the Universal slide in, and at the same time hold it tight enough.
You flip open the top and the case opens like a change purse would so you can slide your fingers in to grab the device.
I have stopped looking for a case for the Universal, that is how happy I am with it.
Thank you both....
Wow, that was a fast reply. Thank you. It sounds like I may the specific case that you bought (with the elastic bands on the side). So I might hold off on buying the one from casesonline. One last question..... Is there a slot to hold SD cards? Thanks again.
Has 2 slots. Go for it, best $12 I ever spent
I got mine yesterday. First when I open it, I felt as it seems it was made from not such a high quality material.
But when I try to use it, I was extremelly happy.
It was indeed made for the Universal! It fits very well, and very comfortable to put in the Universal and take it out. The belt clip is very nice as well. Finally, I reach the point where I can stop hunting for a perfect case for my Universal. I have tried few before: the original case that I modified with a belt clip, the metal case, and a PDA keyboard case. And this one is the best and I'm going to use it with my Universal from this point forward.
I feel upset with imate or HTC though, if they can sell a device with $1000 price, they should be able to include such a perfect case that only cost $5.
I guess this case is just perfectly made for Universal.
Some pictures of this case
Here are some pictures of my Universal case for the benefits of all of you. Like I said, it simply fits the Universal nicely. Look at the bottom cut, this allows you to take out the Universal easily. And I have no more problem with the stylus flying out when pulling the Universal out of the case (the problem with the original Universal case). Best value for the price ($5 plus tax and shipping, around $14) that you can get.
Does it have a belt clip or a belt loop? You missed taking a picture of the back. Please.
Hi,
strange that there is - still - no separate "carrying case" with a holster available for the i-mate JASJAR / Qtek 9000 other than cases offering complete insertion of the device thus being forced also to work with the device inserted.
Good news:
Expansys will be offering one, watch out here
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125516
Bad news:
It is EUR 53 here in Europe, which is quite a lot :-(
Second: Expansys is not really renowned for keeping the price it announces before availability of product, neither do they keep dates of delivery. (This product was first announced as "available before Christmas", then 23 Dec., then 2 Jan., now 6 Jan. in Europe, which is a public holiday in many countries here...)
Expansys says the manufacturer is "Premier Systems", though Google does not seem to know a manufacturer under this name.
Obviously this is just some fantasy brand producing for Expansys ???
Does anyone know who is producing this case or hides behind "Premier Systems" ?
(Strange enough that none of the big case manufacturers: Covertec, Krusell, ... offers such a case for the device.)
As my last PDA was an iPAQ 4700, for which I purchased the original holster case, I tried it out for my Qtek 9000 (identical with the im-mat JASJAR).
Almost fits perfectly
(Bad: Now my iPAQ, which is still a cute device, however lacking GSM connectivity, is "naked"...)
The 6315 is similar in size to the hx4700 afair, though I never saw the case one guy described here (attached photos a few posts downwards).
Ok, there we go. The back of the case.
Its a belt clip, not a loop. Very comfortable, its not moving around, not too lose, not too tight, just perfect.
Originally I was thinking to buy that XaX case as well, but its too expensive ($50?) and there is an opening on top intended for the headphone, but I dun like it considering if there is a rain drop into it, that's it.

Marry christmas and happy new year to all of you
Hi,
I'm looking for a descent protective side carrying case for a TYTN II Kaiser/AT&T Tilt.
Now, the there are lots of cases available in all kinds of shapes and materials but there's one thing that I need badly: a belt LOOP in stead of a belt clip.
I've lost one of my devices already in the city by kneeling down to tie up a shoe and the case slipped off my belt. It was a belt-clip type. Consequence: I live in Belgium and my phone ended up in Morocco. (The bastards even called me to ask me if I wanted to buy it back for a couple of hundred Euro's )
Anyway; don't want to risk the chance to lose one again and therefore this post.
Do you guys can recommend an affordable case (leather or fabric) that protects the phone well and that meets the condition of a belt loop?
TIA
Descent protective case? One that protects it from falling. That would be nice. I don't know of any with belt loops but the Krussel one I have has a spring loaded belt clip that hooks on under the waistband of jeans and is pretty secure. With a belt it might be even better.
http://www.sfplanet.com/product/941...ther_Case__SWide_series_with_Spring_Clip.html
Only $20US (can't convert to Euros on the fly)
Thx Wilhelm. That case looks pretty well but yes, I definetly need that loop instead of a clip.
Not taking any chances anymore
My wife and I both have cases with hoops as well as clips ... available from ... fleabay ..
http://stores.ebay.com/greatdealcenter
Thx for the link albrandwood
There are some sweet deals on that fleabay-store. The only problem is that I live in Belgium (Europe) and they only ship to the US/Canada
Anyway, I got an unbranded case with a belt loop from a colleague at work. One that he never used because he bought another type after he purchased his phone. Once he found out that I was looking for a holster I got to have his case.
Thx once again to all for your input !
Has anyone experiences with bags for flipout. i dont have one because of the formfactor...but i would like to have a cheap solution. maybe a bag which belongs to another mobile and works for the flipout?
or a camerabag...
thanks for help
i have a solution. a sock by bagmovil. fits good and cheap.
I found a case on Amazon UK for around £3.50 if that's any help. Can't remember the name but I just searched for "Flipout" and had a browse through the seemingly endless array of incompatible tat they have. The cases are pretty cool, range of colours, pretty hardy, dirt cheap. Mine's breaking already but it's kissed the kitchen floor a good few times now.
my last bag by bagmovil wasn´t a good solution...bad quality! now i have a bag mady by my own...a piece of leather and some wool...very save for my flipout
For anyone still reading, I'm considering the PDAir belt pouch range.
They have what appears to be a basic slip-on case, a standard belt holster type with magnetic closure top strap, and another belt one where the front cover flaps over allowing you to open the Flipout, although the downside is the clear plastic top part covering the keyboard.
Search for "PDAir Flipout" on Amazon.
On ebay has several covers (case)
