Silicone Covers for MDAIII. What's the best? - General Accessories

Hi guys
I need to mount my MDAIII PDA on my motorbike so I can use TomTom Navigator. I need to be able to see the screen.
I would like to protect the PDA from the rain etc and wonder whether the Silicone covers would provide that protection?
If so, which cover would you recommend and where from?
Cheers
John

OVER 15 Cases for the imate JasJar/XDA EXEC

:shock: here you can find over 15 Cases for the imate JasJar and the XDA EXEC

Belt holster like an i-mate Qtek
But none of the ones listed are like the Qtek's belt holster. Horizontal orientation, magnetic flap, belt clip (not necessarily swivel, in fact prefer not). One that you can slide the whole Universal out and use it free of the leather case.
I bet that something like that combined with the silicone skin would make a great combination.
Anybody know where i can find that type of case in North America?
Dan,
Check http://www.krusell.se
look for generic PDA / "Horizontic" type of case. I had one for my Ipaq 5550 and it's pretty good.
Cheers,
Hal.

I bought one of these in the Far East and it is very good and was cheap too. I found a US website selling it here-

I am not a big fan of book style cases so when I found this I was very happy as I much prefer the style where you can remove the PDA to use it and still be able to keep it on your waist.
Dave...

These leather cases seem ok but the one I have just leaves tiny bits of material all over the Orbit screen....anyone know of a simple pouch for the Orbit?
Don't mean to hijack the thread but anyone have one of these:

Looks to be designed specifically for O2 but I want to know if someone recognises it as a proper Artemis case and not some other model's case that just happens to fit. (ie is it a dedicated P3300 case that will have a perfect fit?)
looks like a generic. problem with sleeve cases is that you need to take the phone out to do anything. so unless its top quality you can get scratches and smears over time.
Just got the PDAair flip case (for my orbit). Its quite nice as it protects the screen and trackball without actually touching either. However it holds the orbit extremely tightly, have to struggle to take it out (although I mostly keep it in).
this looks like the best quality one:

buts it pricey. I'll see how my Pdaair is after a month .....

im using my 80gb ipod pouch until my case arrives! fits perfectly
Now got the pdair black metal case! its fantastic as the screen is protected.
One problem is you can't get the stylus out if you have an orbit, but a small amount of cutting with a hacksaw should sort that out
I got this case from ebay yesterday, seems very good....

It works very well, all functions accessible, is fairly bulky although and wont sit in car holder very well, however i believe a car holder is available which uses the round clip that comes with the case....

Question about Krusell "Orbit" Leather Case for Artemis

Has anybody used this case? Can you comment please?
I'm trying to decide between this Krusell case and the Piel Frama one.
Frankly, I prefer the look of the Pier Frama (from web pics), but the design and funtionality of the Krusell is where my heart is tending towards (plus, it is not lacking in the looks department too, it seems).
Comments from existing users should help sort me out.
See links to both cases here:

http://www.pielframa.net/pielframa_productos.asp?id=1684
Thanks.
Krussel should be nicer than they are, but Piel Frama was also dissappointing! I've had both, and the Krussel, while still being a "quality product" annoyed the hell out of me, while the Piel Frama was simple, it was never that slim. Both cases are too bulky IMO, they offer protection, but ruin the light weight ease of function that the orbit has... Your best bet is one of the many skin cases on the market.
Thanks BigKuri. Could you then suggest a good "skin" case? I'm very particular about device protection because I sometimes drop my phone. At the price point of the Artemis Premium, I really need protection.
While we are at it, can you tell me which was bulkier of the Krusell and the Piel Frama? Was the difference significant? Could either of them sit in a trouser pocket?
Thanks once again.
I have the Krusell case, I really like it, looks great and feels really well made - I don't find it too bulky - but then I have just changed from an XDA 2i so the orbit in a krusell case is still very much smaller. I would happily get another Krusell case.

smcaul, thanks. But, does the Krusell case fit in your trouser pocket without an ugly buldge?
Is that a Krusell in your pocket or are you happy to see me?

Ha ha. Not quite what I meant bdangol, but I would like to know if it does cause so much of a bulge.
time to be constructive.
I don't like any of the leather cases because they make the phone so big. get a nice skin or hard clear plastic case. Ok they don't have pockets for memory cards and stuff but with it being such a hassle to put cards in and out of the Artemis I could not be bothered any way.
Krussell
The first thing I did when I put my Krussell case on was drop the bleedin phone, but due to the sturdy build of the case, and despite dropping everything onto a rough concrete surface; not a mark on the phone or case - so decision made, the phone stays in the Krussell till someone prises it from my cold dead hands, or I sell it all on ebay, which ever comes soonest...bulky or not - job done!
you could buy a vintage red telephone box and put a personal computer in it and a camera. if you drop that.....hell you cant even pick it up
I've got a Piel Frama and it's very nice, but I can't carry credit cards with me. Does the Krusell case take a credit card or two in the flap? The last one I had for a Hermes took 3 cards...
Yes it does, and spaces for two full sized SD cards for some reason, but handy for an adaptor at least.
I bought a Krussel case a few weeks ago and mean to do a write up now I have had it for long enough to spot the pros and cons.
I'm using this Krusell case as well, so maybe a mini-review in few words:
It makes artemis more chubby, yes. But also makes me less worried about scratching, dropping, stepping on, whatever elese, on my pda. It's nice, black&beige shining armor Another good functionality - camera lens is hidden, no worry about scratching it. And at last - if you want flip the top (to attach Krusell logo to magnet) make sure you deattach your swivel from multidapt cradle or you'll have very bad scar on top.
Hi,
I like the Krusell orbit leather case in combination with the windshield holder. A real perfect combination. Krusell is also cheaper than Piel.
Regards,
Daantje
I use the Krussell case and clip it on to my belt. I also purchased the Krussell bicycle mount and put my XDA Orbit on my handlebars running TomTom if need to calcuate a fast route or am biking somewhere new. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it. The Krussell case I had for my XDA Exec (HTC Universal) was nowhere near as good quality as this one. My only complaint is that the fastening flap goes directly over the USB mini-port, making headset use fiddly but possible.
Krusell Case for "Orbit"
Very nice case but the Belt clip came off on mine after a few weeks, now have to use the belt loops, OK but inconvenient to remove case. My "biggest gripe" is that it's a bit "big" for my Orbit so I would shop around a bit more & let me know if you find a better fit!

Full cover available?

Hi
I was wondering if a full body foil shield was available for the Orbit, similar to the Invisibleshield for other devices. I'd like to carry the device in my pocket without fearing to scratch it.
Robert
I don't know if you mean anything like what i have bought voor my artemis (MDA C3) but is is great, protects it fully, only downsite is that you have to open the case is you want to use your touch screen..
http://www.pdashop.nl/product/38593/32294/3338/pdair-aluminium-case-htc-p3300-black.html
you can also get it in silver
Nope, I was referring to this product
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/cell-phone/htc
They have screen covers for the Artemis, but no full body shield like, e.g. for the TyTN II.

Case with a face cover?

I work in a shop as a mechanic so I would like to get a case just for work. Was wondering if anybody has seen a case with a flap type cover made for the captivate.
Also, do buttons, mike, speaker, ect, line up with the euro galaxy? My sis lives in France and might be able to pick me up a case like that over there. Those type of cases are popular over there.
Here is a pic of the type I'm looking for:
