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 . . .

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?

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 )
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
I have many of this for sale. Please search for my username, chaiwat_t, if this item number has been sold. It got a good review in my country so hope you like it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Silicone-Case-O...864428709QQcategoryZ48673QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I'm interested - are there any published reviews?
So am I. I'm curious what the white version looks like. Any pics?
They have it here : http://www.boxwave.com/products/flexiskin/flexiskin-qtek-9000_722.htm
In 5 different colors for 27.95$. Can everyone with experience in silicon cases comment about it being a dust hugger? I heard it gets dirty easily but i don't have personal experience.
If it is that bad (the dust) how come they still sell?
I am using one myself for my SPV M5000 and it's not a dust hugger. Anyway, it's normal that if you use the black color, you'll notice the dust easier. It's the same for everything in black color, I think.
I've not seen any reviews yet but you can ask tho who had bought it from me (via eBay).
It makes my life less heavy as other cases make this giant like a big brick while this siliconse case just adds a litte weight to it.
I'll be doing a review soon. And the alumium grey is the best one as far as Jasjar's are concerned as i was told the skin blends very well with the original color.
If you have an exec, then i suggest you go for the clear version, thats your best bet.
Docc.

How much are you selling them with shipping to Madrid, Spain included? In €uros preferably.
I've never used ebay. Where is your link? Thanks
Hi,
I ordered one from ebay and it cost me 24 euros including postage.

Can you please post the link to the seller? Also is that 24€ international postage? I live in Madrid, Spain
I used the link in the first post. Check it out .You have to pay in advance with paypal. I paid 24 euros and am waiting for the delivery (tony_ix: any idea how long that'll take?). This includes postage to the Netherlands (price is GBP 9,49 and 5,99 postage: is about E24) . If I'm wrong, I'm sure tony_ix can give some more info, since he's selling them.
Please do let us know how it fits. One concern of mine is that some of the cut outs might not correspond to the actual holes. If you could possibly post some pictures, that would be very nice.
Yes, that's true. The photos on the boxwave site show that the videocam hole is not exactly in line
For more photos...
http://www.pda4thai.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1333
There is no issue of cutouts not correspond to the actual holes.
ng, I have no picture of the unit with the white color at the moment. From the items sold, the black color is the most popular.
Is there anyway of getting one of these without using ebay or paypal?
Hi,
When I get this case, I won't be able to be of any use as to how the case will fit, since I don't have my device yet . I still have to wait some time before the end of my subscription before I can go get the universal. I bougth this case in eager anticipation. I thought the price was right and figured that by the time I get my device, they would be sold out.
So you'll just have to make do with the pictures online. Based on the pictures I expect it to fit well, also with the cut-outs. I was also not too fond of the flexiskin pictures showing the holes out of allignment. I do hope it will color ok, since I'm going to get the silver mda pro, but I that's just esthaetics.
I was wondering: based on the pictures of this silicone case, would it be of any help in the "keyboard marks" issue, since the case will add an extra strip around the border of the keyboard. This is pure speculation ofcourse, but an optimistic one. Any thoughts?
N
Regarding the keyboard scratchs, i wonder the same thing, any ownser of this skin care to comment?
Riceburner,
Please email me if you want to try paying in another way.
About the keyboard, I think if the skin covers the keyboard, then you'll find it hard to see the alphabet on it and that is pain. I like it to have the cutout for the keyboard.

Yes, but is it thick enough (the case) that the screen part doesn't touch the keyboard? Check this forum for xda exec case marks and you'll see what i mean. The upper part of the device (which is where the screen is) has shiny "dots" that correspond to the keys as they rub against eachother. Normally only the upper part of the screen. Just want to know if the "frame" of the silicon case is thick enough to prevent this to happen as there are a lot of people with the device for more than a month that have seen this symptom
its amazing... the screen is not touching the keyboard
the material feels very soft and strong at the same time
i did not expect it to be so perfect it fits like a glove
if yu guys want any particular fotos pls pm me and i'll try my best to provide
i would recomd this case to any one using the universal...
as i have the jasjar it looks a bit weird because it does not cover the hinge on the outside otherwise excellent case

Yesterday, I was at a major department store... You know the one with the bullseye for a symbol. I came across a stylus for tablets for capacitive screens, for twenty bucks. I almost got it, but decided I would do a little more checking before I plunked down twenty and some change for a rubber crayon.
I came across a stylus on kickstarter and immediately became a backer. It's a magnetic stylus that snaps on to a tablet, or probably any device with some metal casing to it. I know the title says for iPad, but magnets like lots of metals, even ones not wrapped around iApple ones. I have the Acer Iconia a500, so I became a backer. Even if it doesn't snap to your case, it still has a great price!
You can check it out at snapstylus dot com (I can't put URLs til I post more).
The first 200 backers get the thing for $5.00 SHIPPED! (Orders outside of US, have to ad $8 bucks, sorry), After the first 200, the stylus is still only 10 bucks shipped.
Kickstarter is a cool place to find projects that just need a little financial backing to succeed. DEFINITELY check out the entire website and maybe you can start your own project. Good ideas get funded pretty quickly!
Oh, and you can tell your friends and buddies about it too!
* Just want to say that I have no affiliation with this project, I just came across it and thought it was a good idea. I've emailed the guy and he even offered to go to a local best*** to check to see if the stylus would adhere to the Iconia...
If you like, leave a comment that you're from XDA forum and that Shauna M. sent you. Maybe if we show people that We'll back a good project, they'll start making more products for our devices. Everyone knows the Iconia needs more!
Anybody heard of this new car mount yet?
Steelie Mobile Device Holder
They also have an iPad tabletop stand.
Just ordered the car kit cause It looks like a great product. I love this idea!!!
The best thing is that if you send them your case. They'll punch a hole in it so that the magnet can mount straight to the phone and is a little more discrete.
They were originally on Kickstarter and almost doubled their goal.
Just wanted to post/support a (what seems to me like a great product) that is MADE IN THE U.S.A.
What do you guys think?
And no I am not affiliated with them in any way.

Me either but when mine comes I'll post a review with pics and a video after some testing.
Although I can't test NFC. I will post GPS results from Google Navigation.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Looks good, went to buy one for holding my Nexus in the car for $35. Went through to Paypal - shipping to Australia? $45!!!! NOPE.

That's unfortunate. Did you try to email them to see if they can help you with possibly offering different shipping options?
Saw these guys at a small town fair in Louisville, CO a week ago. Looked like a good product and the guys who own the company were very enthusiastic and helpful. I specifically asked about GPS interference etc. and they said they'd evaluated several phones with no issues.
I also expressed concern about the size/thickness of the engagement point on the phone and they said that they were working on a lower profile version.
Would really like to see these guys do well. Another small business emerging from middle-class America. Gotta love that.
Similar idea to tetrax, but may be easier to find a mounting spot since it looks like it doesn't need the same sq inch spot if you're not using the vent mounted version.
Wow, this is awesome and perfect for my needs! Just went in for one!
I have a window mount currently but it's a pain if I want to rotate it at all because you have to loosen the ball joint and then tighten it back up. And it's almost impossible to do it with the phone in the holder while keeping it at the angle you want.
That, and the suction cup will fall off from time to time. I've also gotten "yelled at" by a cop for having it up as well, so this will "obstruct my view" way less!
This is so much simpler to use, even though it will add a slight bit of bulk.

Thanks for posting about this here, Iv been researching this product everywhere that I can, but its a hard product to find info about, and whats even worse is that the company has not returned my calls or emails in 3 days since contacting them. Either way I found the steelie product on sale here and I already bought it. http://www.123inkcartridges.ca/accessories-product/ST_C.html and now Im hoping it can be used with my galaxy note i717. Now this is a big phone, probably the biggest and heaviest on the market and im worried it will not work. Does anyone know if my phone will work? Also the steelie on this website looks different than all the other steelie pictures iv found, is the one I bought an older or newer version of the steelie? I already contacted 123 ink cartridges and they assured me that its not counterfeit.
Let us know how the thing feels with a big ol', honkin' magnet on the back of it. I'm intrigued, but think having a magnet the size of a 50-cent piece on the back of my GNex would make my having a pretty custom case rather pointless.
The site also says it doesn't interfere with NFC. I'm dubious and would love to hear from some third parties.

NEVER MIND! the one i bought was a counterfeit... lame. oh well im getting a refund on it.
Any updates?
I see that they offer the Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket for purchase by itself, but dont see it listed for sale anywhere. Would be nice for different cell phone uses that drive the same car. I guess you could always mount it to a easy to swap out phone case if you have the same phone as other users.
