Proporta Cases Reviews & Pictures - XDA I and II!

Hi, I've posted pictures and a mini-review of the Proporta Aluminum Case I purchased and received today at http://bugjr.com/jon/proportacases.htm . Hope Everyone like it as much as I like my new case!
Jon.

Great review and the price for the case isn't bad either! :wink:
The attachable belt clip with the screw in button is also very interesting.
I found It kinda odd that they list the case under phones and not other devices though! http://www.proporta.com/Dept.asp?id=34

HTC Universal

Hi Guys,
I was just wondering what will the universal case look like, would it be a
one piece or, 2 piece ?Well... just wondering if does anyone know...
Has any pda accessories company started manufacturing it as yet ?

something like that would be cool: http://www.vajacases.com/Vaja/catalogo.nsf/ProdsPadrelkp/nso111ik_2/$file/main.jpg

yeah....

Krusell already do a range of cases that are designed to fit most PDA's, by chance they are called "Universal"

I also want this vajacase for my o2 xda2s............

The case that comes with the HP IPAQ 5550 (belt pouch) works okay. I bought one from eBay. I have ordered the Krusell Universal, will report on fit in the next few days.

I have the Krusell Horizontic Case.
The case is very good. But I am expecting the new proporta cases in the next couple of days.

I ordered the Krusell Horizontal pouch Medium size, its a very tight fit. So be aware.

What made you order that when their site states the large is the only thing they stock to fit the Universal?
http://www.krusell.se/product.php?s=2&product=2088
Just wondering. Have you tried a large one and it's too big?

@joebongo, when I last looked there was no guidance on which pouch would fit therefore I used the internal dimensions are a guide. Should've waited a few days!

Nice Leather Case for UNIVERSAL and SD CARDS

what do you guys think?
I just got one and it fits wicked !
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9704622961&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MESE:IT&rd=1

I purchased the same item last month, its branded T Mobile, but a good fit. It has elasticated sides so would probably be suitable for other PDAs, I can also use it for my Sharp Zaurus SL-C760.
You may want to shop around on eBay as I purchased from a US seller for £7.99 including delivery although it took 3 weeks to arrive.
Mike

yeah I realised that these ones were a little more expensive but they are in the UK so easier to trace etc. and plus mines arrived next day, so I was well happy

In North America?
Does anybody know where I can purchase a leather case like this one in North America?
I've been looking for a case for my Universal that is the same as the Qtek case. Not a skin but a belt holster that has a magnetic clip for closing but the Universal slides out completely when taking it out of the leather case -- oriented on your belt horizontally.

Is this what you're looking for?????

This is the one I use for my JasJar. Great carrying case. I purchased mine from this seller (In fact I bought two). Works great. Good seller. JasJar fits right in.
Best deal in my opinion.
Good luck.

Take a look at this company, the Brando cases are considered one of the best cases to buy.
Flip Case
http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwdopod900leathercasef.php
I've bought 4 of my cases over the years from this company, although they are based in Hong Kong I have never had any problems with the service.
The delivery has always been within a week to the UK. I bought the side opening case last week from them and I'm very pleased with the quality
Side Case
http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwdopod900leathercases.php
Hope this helps.

I have to agree about BRANDO. I have bought several cases from them and they have always been very fast at delivery and courteous. Once i had a faulty case and after an email and photo of the problem they immediately replaced it!
Their screen protectors are also amazing, ive been using them on an A920, A925, A1000, SX45 and now my Exec.

The case from the first post is EXACTLY like the case that cme with my HP Ipaq H6340. I used it for a while until i hanged it for a krusell.
If any of you guys want a source and dont trust ebay, try HP.COM and look in accessories for the H6340/6315

Brando end-latch case
Actually, I ordered the Brando case that opens lengthways. It's not too bad, some small alignment issues with the openings in the leather...
I just realized that I like the JasJar without anything attached so I'm looking for cases that it's slides out of completely. Maybe I'll get a silicone skin for it so it's more tactile but after using my Brando case for awhile, I definitely want one that I can remove the JasJar from completely.
I must admit, the Brando case looks nice and feels good other than the alignment issue. Delivery was fast and service was good.

What I'm after is a nice holster style case like this one from Sena. Does anyone know if a JasJar will fit into this case??

You might find the Krusell Horizontic case suitable, but you'll need a PDA Large (code 94108 or 94113) and they're a bit of a dog to get hold of in the UK.

Brando vs Krusell
Yeah, I'm in Canada having real issues finding a distributor that carries the Krusell case.
And why am I looking for the case after buying a Brando?
Because the Brando sucks. After the second plunge to the concrete that my JasJar took because the metal screw holding it to the swivel swivelled right out (!), I've given up on the Brando.
It's crap. Your better to go with another case. Speaking from experience and one scraped up JasJar.

Check this out. Says they ship to the USA but not sure where they are based. I have this case myself and it is very good.

Dave...

the best Ive seen to date is the Piel Frama... expensive, but you get what you pay for ;-)

I've notice a lot of these cases for the universal, the edges are actually expose. You drop your universal and an obvious damage will be visible. The case that came with my Exec was crap, so as the other cases from O2. i have to agree, Piel Frama is the best one i've seen and the price is pretty quite expensive. :?

I have to say, I have a Krussell Leather 'Bikini' model with swivel belt clip which does the job perfectly for me. And I've dropped my M5000 numerous times with no damage even thought there is a lot of exposed casing... only problem is the stylus and SD card shoot out when dropped, I'm on my 4th stylus @ £5 a pop and 3rd 1GB SD (Glad the SD card prices have dropped!)

Case Recommendations

Hi,
What case do people recommend to keep their Orbit safe? I'm stuck between the Krussell (which I have protected phones with before) , a silicon case (ebay item number 160068404562) or PDA Leather Flip Case (ebay 160068463414).
I'm tempted for the silicon as you still have easy access to the screen , but welcome any other ideas.

Before reading your question, I was not aware of the existance of a silicon case for this model. Now I've looked it up at Ebay and am also interested. A couple of months ago I bought a silicon case for my mp3 player (different brand though, ZCover) and am very pleased with it. So far however, the seller seems only to ship within the UK. I have just asked him by email if he is able to ship abroad, no answer yet.
Update: he does sell abroad. Apparently he has more than one item on Ebay, all about this case but with different shipping methods. Anyway, I just ordered a black silicon case, due to arrive later this week. I will let you know.

hi
i have the PDAIR flip case and am very pleased with it. i prefer it to a silicon type as it gives the screen more protection.

I agree that a flip case does give more protection, especially to the screen, but isn't it annoying when actually making a call? I presume you don't take the phone out of the case before calling. To me it looks rather silly. NOFI.

Have a look for the aluminium (on ebay, under artemis/p3300) case for the artemis as I have just ordered one and hope it is a good fit for the orbit?

Not massively protective but the slipcase supplied with the 8oGB ipod is a perfect fit. I'm using it just now to avoid scratches until i find a good screen protector and silicon case.

has your aluminiun case arrived, How much extra bulk does it add, as I'm thinking of getting one. I already have a black silicone case which is very good, and a very tight snug fit, but no protection for the screen. If the aluminium one is not to big, then I would sell my silicone case.

Yes my aluminium case came through the same day as my last post and it does not add much bulk to the device. The only issue I have had with it is the stylus is covered slightly so to remove it you have to open the case and slide the phone up slightly. Apart from that great case would recommend highly to all those in need of a case. My case came in a Pdair box so I assume it is made by them?

I also have the leather PDAIR flip case and my only criticism is that it extends a little to much toward the sides of the base of the screen so that I must angle the stylus a bit at the edges.

I just had a look at the aluminium cases sold on Ebay but they don't seem to have protection for the screen as well? How is that different then?
Just like you, I ordered a silicon case last week and it arrived a couple of days later. I'm pleased with it, pretty tight fit, better grip, no chance anymore of scratching the camera lens when the phone is on it's back, and all the required openings are exactly on the right spot. Indeed, the only thing left is the absence of protection for the screen, but I don't carry the phone in a pocket together with keys or coins.

The aluminium case has a plastic screen in it to protect the orbit. You have to open the front cover to use the touch screen.
All of which is not a problem as I would advise anyone with a phone of this quality to purchase a screen protector ASAP.
I didn't use my orbit till my protector came through the post.

Hi All
I spoke to the lady in the O2 shop in Swindon about cases, she said that O2 will be releasing some Orbit specific ones in the next couple of weeks.
I have my fingers crossed.

The slightly scratched, fingerprint smeared and dusty state of my just-over-a-week-old Orbit screen would probably give you a heart attack then! Screen protectors don't come cheap, £10 for little sheets of sticky plastic... selotape is under £1 a roll! I'll just use some of that!

Has anyone on their internet travels come across a vertical leather pouch/holster for the Artemis that has a belt clip?
Something like this:
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=21740
Just want something that can be attached to a belt and the Artemis slid into and out of - not for use in the actual case.
Must be vertical and minimal size (ie designed for the Artemis and no larger).

Krusell Vertica with Multidapt® - S-Wide

Selotape aside I'll almost certainly be going for http://www.pielframa.net/pielframa_productos.asp?id=1685 (mentioned on the other case thread) if I ever bother getting a case... can't beat something made-to-measure!

Just got myself a Piel Farama in black for my Jasjam. Looks very good and high quality but certainly requires getting a bit used to as each time you have to open the flap and fold it all the way back to get a hold of the device to take or make a call.
regards

Thanks Moleshome - that is exactly what I am looking for except my only concern (as with all "multi" cases) is that it will not fit it nicely and/or be the smallest possible case for the dimensions of the p3300. I can't think it fits all of the listed "compatible" models perfectly and I don't know if the Artemis would be in that category.
Anyone bought this particular case? Experiences?

Got my Piel Frama case today - it fits the Orbit well despite being designed for the P3300 (sharper corners).
Overall a beautifully crafted case which I will probably return as it won't let me store a credit card in the flap. My last case for the XDA Mini was a Krusell - hope they bring out an Orbit sepcific case soon....

No good for spontanous gprs internet shopping on the go then?
I dropped an email to see if I could get one for review, fingers crossed otherwise I'll have to fork over some mulah or see what my birthday holds. (I've been a games/tech journalist for a while, which is nice)
Would be interesting to get a comparison of the Krusell and Piel cases, and maybe something a bit more on the minimalistic size. I'll see what I can do, but neither are contacts I've dealt with before.

Looking to buy Walnutt case - ONLY sold in Korea; could someone help out?

Hi guys,
I am looking at the Walnutt cases for the i9100, I would really love to purchase one of the bumper cases, but it seems there is very little available. I have found 3 sites with them but they are all Korean and don't look to sell internationally (or at least don't respond to my emails).
http://www.walnutt.co.kr/shop/shopdetail.html?branduid=361134&xcode=013&mcode=002&scode=&type=X&sort=order&cur_code=013002
My main problem is that I am after the White/Green version (I think it will look perfect on the White i9100!) but everywhere is sold out bar this website: http://www.unilook.co.kr/shop/shopdetail.html?branduid=429862&xcode=007&mcode=001&scode=&type=X&sort=order&cur_code=007001
Is there a very generous XDA member who could possible help me out with some mail forwarding at all? Your PayPal coffee/beer fund will be added to! :highfive:
May thanks!

I found a very similar one on eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-TPU-B...ame-Samsung-Galaxy-S-2-II-i9100-/250937917100
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium

Thanks jt.61
I've seen these before and have ordered a couple to see what they are like - will let people know when they arrive; I don't have high hopes to be honest.
I still want an official one so I know it fits perfectly though.

Here is another probably better alternative.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...amsung-galaxy-s2-case-linear-pure-series.html
And here is a back cover to go with it if needed. You can choose that same green color.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...y-s2-option-back-cover-for-linear-series.html

I wouldn't recommend SGP Linear ... they are made of plastic and easy breakable...
I would recommend Sweet Armor .. they are not that heavy and they are made of airline metals (aluminium i believe ... not sure)

Thanks for the recommendations guys; I have tried many cases but believe the Walnutt would be the best for my situation

Very similar to the SGP NEO HYBRID?
Mebbeh try that?

thanks for the recomendations guys

Just a little warning. I've had a Walnutt bumper case on my phone for about 4-5 months, and they scratch the living hell out of the left and right sides of the phone.
I'm not sure if all Walnutt bumper cases do this, maybe I was just unlucky.

Maybe you got bits of dust between the phone and bumper? I know that my SGP NEO EX does accumulate a bit of dust between silicon and my phone. Regular clean ups does the job though. No significant scratches after 5 months of having the bumper, just slight micro scratches here and there, but those might be also deriving from me using my phone without bumper on occasions...
Cheers

I am using Walnutt case for my iPhone 4

I am currently using Walnutt bumper case for my iPhone 4 and have been satisfied with this case so far. I dropped my phone on the ground a few times while I was taking it out from the pocket. Fortunately, my phone was not damaged. you might ca buy it at http://www.zoarah.com/walnutt-bumper-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s2.html
