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.
Does anybody own Just Mobile Rugged case for HTC Prophet? I mean this one: http://www.just-mobileonline.com/products_protectionseries_4.html ; http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=141177
I am asking because I would like to buy one for my HTC TyTN II, but I am not sure if it would fit. According to this comparison: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=733&id2=391 Prophet is 0.3mm wider, while TyTN II is 0.6mm thicker and 3.2mm longer.
(I would like to attach my TyTN II to my bicycle, but standard bike mounts wouldn't work for me, while they are not protecting the PDA in any way. And Just Mobile case seems perfect in this (although I am not sure if it would be possible to attach it to a bike). Also any other ideas are welcome.)
Thank you very much in advance for any replies.
I haven't used that, but bear in mind that the underside has holes where dust and moisture could get into contact which you device. And the screen may be open to dust, rain etc too.
I cannot remember where I saw it now, but there is a case that fits via a mount to the handlebars, and you slide the phone in - it has a clear flexible plastic front.
I remember reading that it was a very tight fit for the Prophet, at least.
My intention is to use it for TyTN II, but I would like to have a look at it in case you happen to find it.
Thanks for reply.
Found it! look at www.boxit.net - under products for the phone skin, then accessories for the bicycle mount. best of luck (& enjoy the cycling! - I've got a 70km MTB marathon coming up this weekend )
And here are a couple of photos:

Oh, looks great. Thank you very much. Maybe I will give it a try, althought it is a little bit less rugged than I would probably need.
I am in the process of deciding between this, Otterbox and perhaps some other (semi-self made) option.
Edit: Good luck in your marathon ;-)
At last I have opted for OtterBox 2600. Will post here my impressions once it arrives if you are interested.
Lok forward to hearing about it! I've always wondered about all the bumps and vibration related to fixing it to the bike, but the review I posted about the Boxit case seemed to suggest it didn't affect the terminal.
(the marathon was great! - very wet though, both rain and deepish rivers to contend with)
Hey guys,
Has anyone looked into any armband cases that the HTC Aria can fit accessibly into? I'm preferably looking into one with an elastic band instead of a strap-on.
- Henry
I haven't looked into it yet, but the Aria is very similar in size to the iPod Classic and Touch. I think they'd work pretty well.
I have used this Nike armband case. For years w/ my phones. It fit's the aria perfectly with room to spare for id, money & etc.

Here's a pic.
Hey thanks.
I was actually looking for an armband with a clear plastic display as well as something that keeps the phone taut for running.
I actually just researched this for the past few days. I eventually just went down to Academy sports and tried fitting the phone in a few armbands.
I am using the official htc tpu skin case for A6366 so the phone is slighly larger but not nearly as much as the amzer silicon case.
I came up with the tunebelt for "ipod (all gens) and ipod touch"
I got the belkin ipod classic armband at target today, it is a very snug fit. Im not sure if I like it I might return it and try the ipod touch case as that one is a bit taller. If all else fails I'll go to the sport store.
Hey guys. I wanted to share with y'all a case I made for my tab 10.1.
https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/2781562/2/HTC Inspire 4G/case?h=6d1416
I bought thew following items and found that none of them worked very well for me.
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protec...-cleaning-cloth-for-samsung-p7510-black-82402
and
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protective-pc-back-case-for-samsung-galaxy-tab2-10-1-black-68713
I was also very envious of the ipad 2 smart cover.
So what I did was cut the smart cover for the tab and attached it to the back case.
I had some left over 3M carbon fiber from covering my viewsonic gtab and used that to attach the two as you can see in the photos.
It's in alpha right now, but it works great! The 3M carbon fiber holds to two components together very well. It works as a great hinge. Once I get my heat gun from work, I'm going to cover the whole back case with it and it will have a very seamless look.
I have not found another case like this one so I wanted to share how I made you guys.
P.s. the above smart cover comes in many different colors.
http://s.dealextreme.com/search/p7510
you make it by yourself, that is a very happy thing. but for me . i dont want.
i bought 2 directly from
http://www.papadigitals.com/advanced_search_result.html?keywords=smart+case+p7510&x=0&y=0
so many colors that i can choose. and the quality is fine.
Cool! Thanks for posting that site.
I ordered a black one, and got shipping confirmation. Just hoping that the typos on the website aren't an indication of quality...
My worries were unfounded! Awesome cover, fits perfectly, will post review soon.
I bought that same cover from ebay for 26$. so what you posted is a good deal.
However, i dont like it:
1) too heavy
2) makes it bulky because its actually a case, not a cover. An exta layer of ugliness.
3) related to #3, the extra layer is due to the fact that the gtab is not magnetic, so the cover flip flops away if not held tightly downwards
4) its a cheap piece-o-junk. have it for 5 weeks, one crack on the plastic part and a rip on the fabric

I actually got another smart cover like case, which works fairly well. Can't post the link, but if you search on ebay "3 fold smart cover", that's the design. Has magnets to keep the screen closed when not using it.
Here's a link of all Sena GS3 cases:
http://www.senacases.com/samsung-cases/galaxy-s-3/
The one I got is right here:
http://www.senacases.com/samsung-cases/galaxy-s-3/lusio/
I chose to go with the pouch for one reason really - I don't know how well the adhesive strip works on the "Magia" wallet case - I would have preferred that one if I knew for a fact that it will function even when the phone is continuously removed from the adhesive strip.
I purchased the brown\beige pouch.. The leather is smooth, and the stitching is flawless. It was a very snug fit the first week, but since breaking it in the phone slides in\out without any problems. The additional space for credit cards is a great addition. Overall the case just looks very high quality. Very happy with this purchase.
Anyways, I don't know if there is any interest for this case - if anyone is interested I will post some pictures.
Hi, its a really nice case and im thinking of buying it. Small question though, does it offer any protection to the corners of the phone in case u drop it by accident?
