Does anyone know if this clear case is any good ?
http://www.pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=70
I have an aluminium one but would like to change it to a clear one.
I like it very much
Ordered one with Proporta
Unfortunately theyre still out of stock there (price 14,95 GBP)
I rang pdamods.com this morning and they said they have them in stock and it would be delivered to my home tomorrow - Can't wait for it !!!
i rang proporta today to cancel my order but when speaking to the guy he said:
they come in this morning do i still want to cancel my order so i changed my mind he said hell get mine sent today 1st class so i should have tomorrow also cant wait nearly 2 months of waiting lol
i just wrote them a mail awhile agoe and got it back the server said it could not resolve the addresss then i went to their site
to look for another adress
and saw that my case was marked as ready to ship aswell
hope it gets here one day
Woohoo! Good news that i might finally recieve my order. Darn shame the phone is on its 2nd visit to the xda service centre
what is wrong with your XDA 2 (again) ?
Hanging a lot, first time i sent it back they apparentely reflashed the bootloader, but the same problems were happening when they returned it.
:lol:
jeeeha!! Mine is ready to ship as well.
Gues I just ordered mine just-in-time
(I canceled my previous order to express my anger form waiting more than a month)
just got a mail that mine had ship'd
now i can finaly change number without having to pull out the whole device
because i did try to map the play next and prev to the inc and dec and inc vol button on the side but it dont always work so sometimes it change the song at sometimes it inc the vol
Mine has shipped too. Delivery in approx. 7 days. Pitty (for that) I am on holiday then . . .

here you go, i got my new case this morning! pics were taken with the xdaII!!!
how is it ?
does it feel bulky?
does dancing riverdance on it break it ?
does it dec the gsm signal str ?
does it reflect light making it diff to see the screen with lights around?
and does the beltclip from the std case fit the hole under the cam hole ?

it doesnt feel too bulky at all, in fact it is the slimmest fitting case i have found so far for the xda. I used to use the proporta aluminium case which is a little bit bigger and thicker and heavier than this.
i have given the front a good squish test and even sat on it a few times and it seems vers strong. not as solid as the aluminium one but pretty damn close (has a little more give in it)
yey, yey, yey, i get full gsm signal with the case on as oposed to half signal that i used to get with the alu one!
a little light reflection from the case, however the screen is very visible and totally clear and colourful. I havent tested it in bright sunlight yet, however with a spot lamp it is fine!!!
there doesnt appear to be a belt clip attachment at all (unlike the alu one), so this might be an issue for people
Hope this helps guys!
to sum up i think this is the best case i have found yet for the xda II, all the buttons are easily accessible and the flip over top design is much easier to hold than the side opening alu one. It is a brilliant case!
2 possible draw backs that dont bother me at all :
1) no belt clip
2) no sd storage slots
brilliant design i recommend everyone who is looking for a small case for keeping their xfda in their pocket gets this. i am very impressed. was worth the 2 month wait!!
well from looking at your pictures there is a hole under the hole for the cam
on the std case there is a hole like it and you put in the org beltclip in it and it locks
are you positive that you cant just plug in your org beltclip
i dont really use the beltclip for anything other then stoping my xda
from moving to the buttom of my front pockets, so the clip in on the outside of the pocket
(yes i have abnormaly large pockets )
Me and a colleague both ordered xda IIs last week from 02. Me on Monday, him on Tuesday. His arrived the next day mine arrived on Friday. Wierd that.
Here's a couple of things that were not right with mine. The keyboard felt very loose. It moved very easily and could be opened with a shake of the phone. My colleagues was much tighter. Not a major problem but I felt it may open on it's own when in a jacket pocket etc
When the keyboard was closed you could easily see daylight when looking into the gap between the keyboard and phone body. The gap was large enough to accommodate 4/5 sheets of paper (thickness). My friend had no daylight and not even a single sheet of paper could be slid in between the keyboard and phone body. Squeezing the keyboard and phone body between finger and thumb would 'flex' the keyboard and cause this gap to close temporarily.
All in all not very impressive build quality. I didn't even charge it up, it went straight back in the box and was returned. I'm expecting another on Wednesday.
Thanks for the info, useful.
Did you purchase via 'Personal' online?
Or via 'Business' - I've just ordered one this way, now that the weblink is working after about 3 works of it not...
£179 + VAT, then get £16.50 +VAT tariff - 100 mins, 8p landline calls, data @ £1.50/mb).
I'll believe it when I see it... and shall look out for lousy keyboard. Odd, didn't think the Taiwanese could produce anything iffy - hopefully not a fundamental design flaw.
Tekguru at tekguru.co.uk even had a broke screen on delivery on his review model.
I got a Qtek 9090 2 weeks ago and I have to say that the space between the keyboard and the rest of the unit as well as the looseness of the keyboard is worrying me a bit. I hope it won't get worse because then it would not be acceptable any more...
Can anyone comment on the evolution of their unit over time with respect to these problems?
Thanks.
Received my replacement XDA IIs today. Keyboard / Gap is much better. Very pleased with it. There is some very slight lateral movement (<0.5mm) between the screen half and the body half ( when viewed head on ) but nothing serious. Better charge it up !
I got my XDAIIs on wednesday and had the same thing, i'll be sending mine back for a replacement as well
3 QTEKs all with different gaps
My 2 colleagues and I received our QTEKs last week, 2 with a slightly loose keyboard and 1 quite tight.
The good news is your not alone in the slider / keyboard gap issue
The bad news is the gap gets BIGGER with use
This may be adjustable , ie: tightening down. Does anyone know where to get a parts blowup of a PDA2K/O2 XDAIIs/QTEQ 9090 ? That may shed some needed light on this evolving problem.
Hi Guys,
Ok...as a testament to how much I use this device (despite a lot of my apps, like yours not being upward WM5 compatible...patiently waiting too), and NOT as a testament to how careless I am, I must admit that I have now as of tonight lost BOTH styli, that came with it.
So please, give me credit for using a screen protector and a retrofitted case (i DO care for my JasJar like it was a Furby!), and reccomend a decent replacement (3rd party) styli that works with it?
Thanks!
And I hope that the replacement 3rd party styli will have much better fit.
It' s a miracle I have not lost mine yet. Give the JJ a good shake and off the stylus goes flying.
Ha ha. I must agree with you both. I have been wondering why my JJ stylus was so easily taken in and out.
I have dropped the stylus many times (luckily it fell into the case) when I pulled it out from the case (if the JJ stylus slot side came in first to the case when its inserted). I changed the order inserting it to the case already, now with the stylus slot facing up, but it will not help preventing such an accident like yours, ROM_quest.
We're better be careful with this.

Hmm... my Jasjar stylus doesn't seem to be terribly loose... I don't think it's ever fallen out when I didn't want it to. I just sat here and tried to shake it out and I wasn't able to. Maybe there's a problem with your device?

Hi Guys,
An update to my original post.
I found my style (yay!) on the floor of my vehicle.
FYI though, besides the backorder Expansys replacement Styli option, Boxwave has a multi-tool-stylus with pen made for the JasJar in stock.
Google Boxwave if you have a need for a replacement stylus...hopefully I can hold on to my (loose-fitting) one now that I have it back.
Cheers,

I bought an XDA Executive a few months ago, after 10 days the case fell apart (bad stitching) after contacting O2 they said they don't and can't supply a new case and that i'd have to search the net for one less than £15 and send them the bill :/
None that i've seen so far seem to be very useful or look reasonable, i'd really prefer an original (more of a pouch without having to undo things to get it out of the case each time) but i haven't been able to locate an original anywhere yet.
Has anyone come across one or have a new original from O2 that may be for sale?
Surely as the package was bought from O2 with a guarantee then the onus should be on O2 to replace it.
I'd go back to O2 and push on it because it sounds like they're giving you the fob off.
That was having spoken to a supervisor (don't know what they supervised though).
I got myself one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XDA-Exec-iMat...845608818QQcategoryZ57253QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Really pleased with it, a good alternative to what you are after.
I'm quite fussy with the style, don't like the buckle over the top, i thought the O2 one was ideal, shame they're being awkward about it.
I've been looking at the:
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125869
and
http://www.covertecstore.com/search/search_type.asp?menu=smart&ref_machine=IMATEJASJ#1
The expansys one looks quite nice, but does anyone happen to have one and could give a review and some pictures of it from all angles, specifically the back as the site doesn't display any and it mentions having a belt clip which i'd rather not have but wonder how bad the attachment is on the back if i don't have it on (if it is on the back of course)
Althernatively the covertec one looks very handy for the being able to see the incoming calls with the screen at the front, belt clip attachment doesn't look too obvious / obstructive either.
So anyone who has either could you provide some information / close up photographs?
Thanks
I have just ordered the covertec case so will report back once it has arrived.
I bought a case from Piel Frama (the new model), and I'm very happy with it
http://www.pielframa.com/menu_qtek_9000.htm
So, im about to buy an Innocase. Im too drunk to decide which one I want, so im leaving it up to my fellow XDA'ians.
What do you think?
Oh yea, BTW, im waiting until Midnight Central Time, and im buying whatever you guys decide, because im impatient
Dude, go with the Active. I seriously love it. It so well designed and it's so comfortable to hold. Plus it will be compatible will seidio's car mount and docks.
BTW, speaking of drunk, that last post took me like ten minutes because of many jack and cokes. Even worse, I had to go back and edit it because I said "seidio socks" instead of "docks". I blame that on Jack and the lack of Swype. Buy the damn case
20 minutes left!!!
I was going to order the Active from Amazon, but it says it takes 2-3 weeks to ship. By that time there hopefully will be some decent cases out, because none of the ones out are that great. Anyone know of any place to order them that has em in stock? Im guessing not since its an Amazon exclusive case..
i got mine yesterday, it only took a week or so to ship
I just ordered My active. Geez, i hope it ships before it says it will (July 12)
july 12th is my bday
Active is nicer but bulky, I use it for work but take it off when not working. If you do work where the phone can easily get damaged active is worth it offers lots of protection otherwise I would definitely go with Surface as it's much slimmer actually I would probably go with no case unless you really need it LOL
Active all the way man!
Surface II all the way
sent from my evo
I bought the surface II and returned it. Purchased the Active, and love it. The extra bulk people mention is hardly noticeable, and it feels MUCH more solid. The two cant even be compared in my opinion.
I just got the updated Surface II as the first run(batch) was horrible. The second round is nice and snug. Hardly any play in it now.
