Hi All,
I can't decide which case to get for my XDA EXEC.
I would like to use it on my belt occasionaly, so one with a belt clip or loop would be preferred.
From your experiences, which case is the best to go for ?
Thanks.
The t-mobile 6315 case is the best I tried until now (my 3rd for the Universal). It is a holster type, as in, you carry it on your belt and take the Universal out to use it.
It is a surprisingly good fit, and it is very easy to take the device out and put it back in, at the same time, it is very safe when it is sitting on your belt.
The guy I bought it from at ebay has 2 left

And it costs you 1/4 of anything else you are going to buy out there.
Doesn't look like he ships to the UK though !
Does size matter?
atekant,
I looked up the dimensions of the iPAQ 6315 and compared them to the JasJar. Here they are:
iPAQ JasJar
118.872 mm 127.7 mm
74.93 mm 81 mm
18.542 mm 25 mm
So based on the demensions posted by HP and imate, the JasJar is larger than the 6315. Since I'm used to seeing demensions in inches/feet, I have no idea if these differences are significant. Do you find that the case is too small? Did you have to modify it? Because if not, I may end up purchasing one from www.casesonline.com, but get a slightly different color combo than the one you found on ebay. Thank you for any help.
This same guy has 52 under a different listing, very quick delivery BTW.

weather, the fit is perfect, not tight and not loose, the Uni just goes in & out easily, yet the clip is tight on the belt. This is actually near identical to the HP case (larger one) selling for U$49 retail.

I had the same questions when ordering it, and I was quite sure it would end up being too tight, but it is not tight at all.
The front, back, and the flip cover (with magnetic closure) is leather (I mean fake leather like substance, but not bad). The bottom, and the sides are elastic bands (about 1 inch wide) and have enough give to let the Universal slide in, and at the same time hold it tight enough.
You flip open the top and the case opens like a change purse would so you can slide your fingers in to grab the device.
I have stopped looking for a case for the Universal, that is how happy I am with it.
Thank you both....
Wow, that was a fast reply. Thank you. It sounds like I may the specific case that you bought (with the elastic bands on the side). So I might hold off on buying the one from casesonline. One last question..... Is there a slot to hold SD cards? Thanks again.
Has 2 slots. Go for it, best $12 I ever spent
I got mine yesterday. First when I open it, I felt as it seems it was made from not such a high quality material.
But when I try to use it, I was extremelly happy.
It was indeed made for the Universal! It fits very well, and very comfortable to put in the Universal and take it out. The belt clip is very nice as well. Finally, I reach the point where I can stop hunting for a perfect case for my Universal. I have tried few before: the original case that I modified with a belt clip, the metal case, and a PDA keyboard case. And this one is the best and I'm going to use it with my Universal from this point forward.
I feel upset with imate or HTC though, if they can sell a device with $1000 price, they should be able to include such a perfect case that only cost $5.
I guess this case is just perfectly made for Universal.
Some pictures of this case
Here are some pictures of my Universal case for the benefits of all of you. Like I said, it simply fits the Universal nicely. Look at the bottom cut, this allows you to take out the Universal easily. And I have no more problem with the stylus flying out when pulling the Universal out of the case (the problem with the original Universal case). Best value for the price ($5 plus tax and shipping, around $14) that you can get.
Does it have a belt clip or a belt loop? You missed taking a picture of the back. Please.
Hi,
strange that there is - still - no separate "carrying case" with a holster available for the i-mate JASJAR / Qtek 9000 other than cases offering complete insertion of the device thus being forced also to work with the device inserted.
Good news:
Expansys will be offering one, watch out here
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125516
Bad news:
It is EUR 53 here in Europe, which is quite a lot :-(
Second: Expansys is not really renowned for keeping the price it announces before availability of product, neither do they keep dates of delivery. (This product was first announced as "available before Christmas", then 23 Dec., then 2 Jan., now 6 Jan. in Europe, which is a public holiday in many countries here...)
Expansys says the manufacturer is "Premier Systems", though Google does not seem to know a manufacturer under this name.
Obviously this is just some fantasy brand producing for Expansys ???
Does anyone know who is producing this case or hides behind "Premier Systems" ?
(Strange enough that none of the big case manufacturers: Covertec, Krusell, ... offers such a case for the device.)
As my last PDA was an iPAQ 4700, for which I purchased the original holster case, I tried it out for my Qtek 9000 (identical with the im-mat JASJAR).
Almost fits perfectly
(Bad: Now my iPAQ, which is still a cute device, however lacking GSM connectivity, is "naked"...)
The 6315 is similar in size to the hx4700 afair, though I never saw the case one guy described here (attached photos a few posts downwards).
Ok, there we go. The back of the case.
Its a belt clip, not a loop. Very comfortable, its not moving around, not too lose, not too tight, just perfect.
Originally I was thinking to buy that XaX case as well, but its too expensive ($50?) and there is an opening on top intended for the headphone, but I dun like it considering if there is a rain drop into it, that's it.

visit here for the Exec Holder and also proclip - search for LHD, Honda, Civic 4 door, 2005.

Forgive me if I posted this in the wrong section.
I dropped my MDA III a few days ago and now there are a few scratches on its case. According to an article here, there's a member here (fluffcat1) that sells replacement cases. I have already send him a PM but I was wondering if anybody knows of any other places where I can get a replacement case for my MDA III.
i just bought a case from ebay uk. There is a seller call geoffery or something. Its costs around 20 pounds. But then its a 02 XDA iis case. hope this helps.
Thanks for the tip. I just ordered one too.
There's another seller who sells the complete housing, including the slide out keyboard but it's three times as expensive. But he also includes instructions and a few tools.
Just to let people know I bought an original XDA IIs housing from "geoffrey5400" on eBay for US$38.65 (GBP 19.30). I got it a few days later (really fast shipping) and it was brand new. Using instructions found here I was able to replace my (damaged) silver T-Mobile MDA III case with this black O2 XDA IIs case en my BA looks awesome now!
I love that guy, dirt cheap shipping and great service. Bought mine from him as well.
