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.

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!)
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.
Hi
I was wondering if a full body foil shield was available for the Orbit, similar to the Invisibleshield for other devices. I'd like to carry the device in my pocket without fearing to scratch it.
Robert
I don't know if you mean anything like what i have bought voor my artemis (MDA C3) but is is great, protects it fully, only downsite is that you have to open the case is you want to use your touch screen..
http://www.pdashop.nl/product/38593/32294/3338/pdair-aluminium-case-htc-p3300-black.html
you can also get it in silver
Nope, I was referring to this product
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/cell-phone/htc
They have screen covers for the Artemis, but no full body shield like, e.g. for the TyTN II.

This is a review of UAG cases (Navigator and Scout) for Note 3. http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/navigator-glxn3 and http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/scout-glxn3
I'm not going to deny it, I have been a huge fan of UAG and have tested and reviewed all of their Galaxy cases. As a matter of fact, considering amount and variety of all other cases I've tested and reviewed in this forum/community - UAG is still my go to case for Note 2 when I don't use Zerolemon battery. What makes them so special? A perfect combination of protection, style, and how thin and lightweight these are at the same time. There is one simple reason people buy a case for their phone - to protect it. Often protection comes at a price of bulky design without any "personality". In my opinion, with UAG cases you don't have to worry about any of this!
Packaged in a very minimalistic box, in addition to a case itself you also find a screen protector with a cleaning kit. Although I never installed their screen protector, just from a quick examination it feels more premium than most of the stuff you get from ebay. I know its not the focal point of the product, but still a nice accessory to include to protect your screen from scratches. For anybody who is familiar with their S3 and S4 cases you will be greeted with a familiar design when you take out this Note 3 case out of the box. Previous users of Note 2 will react to this in two ways. Either you are going to realize how much you missed your interchangeable vents, or like me you will say "why the heck didn't we have this for our phones". I always preferred their original industrial solid back design rather then vented design, but that is just a matter of personal taste. As a matter of fact, there has been a lot of changes going from Note 2 to Note 3 version of this case, and overall improvements in comparison to previous versions of UAG case are noticeable.
The case is very lightweight at only 52 grams despite its composite design where hard outer PC shell is fused with a softer TPU-like inner soft impact resistant shell with a signature honeycomb pattern. The idea of such fused design makes the case thinner while still retaining a decent drop protection, and also adding a convenience of quick one-piece case removal without dealing with two separate shells. What surprised me the most is the fact that Note 3 is a bit larger in overall dimensions in comparison to Note 2, while UAG Note 3 case turned out to be narrower and a bit shorter then Note 2 case. In addition, N3 case has a more squared off shape which makes it less slippery and easier to grip. And speaking for grip, a new external honey-comb grip was added along the sides of the case to improve its handling. I found this design improvement to be very effective. Along with a sculptured industrial lines of the back design with decorative hex screws, UAG Note 3 case definitely has a much better grip. Although case feels slimmer, you still get the same rubber lip around the screen to lift the display with phone placed down or to provide a protection when dropped. You still get an enhanced corner protection, and rear skid pads that allowed phone to be placed on the back without any wobbling and keeping it from sliding on a smooth surface. And of course you get all the generous port openings to accommodate oversize usb cables and headphone connectors. Power and volume buttons have a very nice tactile feedback and can be easily located just by sliding your fingers along the side of the case. You also get a very generous opening for s-pen. One thing I do have to mention. Just like a found with other Note 3 cases from different vendors, some of them don't include a hole opening in the lower right corner for temperature/humidity sensor. It is not a hole for an extra mic, as some were suspecting originally. Is that a big deal? I don't think so, unless you need it as part of S-health app or something similar. Perhaps UAG will update their cases in the next batch to open this hole. But I would think for majority it's not going to be a show stopper.
Overall, I was VERY impressed and jealous with a new slick form factor and additional improved side grip on this new UAG Note 3 case in comparison to my Note 2 UAG case. The quality is still top notch, and it's one of the few slim cases that will give you a piece of mind in case of accidental drop. After reviewing all of their previous cases, and now looking at Note 3 case (even so I'm using display model of Note 3 for my review), my opinion still remains about UAG being one of the top cases for any smartphone. Just please keep in mind, there is a number of cheap counterfeits and cheesy imitators. All I have to say is that I had my Note 2 UAG Navigator (white) case for almost 9 months with a heavy duty use, and it still looks like brand without any scratches or color fading and all the fused layers still intact. I can guarantee you no imitation or counterfeit case will stand the same test of time.
Here are the pictures, including comparison to my Note 2 case.

Nice review! Im happy I made the right decision on purchasing the UAG scout. Can't wait for it to arrive!:good:
Nice. One thing I cant see from the pics is there a cutout for the mic on the bottom right side of the phone? I have found very few cases that have all the cutouts for our phone.
Hmm, I liked the UAG case I had for my iPhone 5... It does look a tad bulky though... Might get one.

could you take a picture of the case next to the note 3 from the sides so we can see thickness/width comparison? ty
UAG is a winner in every aspect..but
I am hoping that it will also allow the use of the Iloome brand tempered glass screen protector, or similar, in case that the built in screen protector is similar to the effective but ugly one like on the otterbox defender..( which is removable- although that technically voids the warranty.) I also ordered the uag, and the Iloome tempered glass..hoping that I can make them work together..which- I am quite optimistic.:good:

I am so glad they went back to the original design. I LOVE my Outlander UAG for my S3 but I hated the Note 2 Case design so never ordered it.
Now they have the outlander again for the Note 3 just ordered it today after picking up my Note 3 !! heck yeah I can't wait!

uag case opinion..
Recieved the UAG case ( black ) for my new Note 3- Upon opening package,
I noticed its a 1 piece design- and then My impression- kind of sank. I didnt find any significant protection like I found on the otterbox defender. No silicone inner liner to absorb shock- and a simplistic design. attractive on outside Plus- a standard screen protector to apply.)- but didnt inspire confidence like I found with the defender.. I understand- its NOT meant to be as TOUGH..But- it was my fault for not getting more informed.
I spoke with trident, cyclops is very similar to defender- but much less than 59.95. Paid under 25.00 shipped. 3 part case. attractive- durable. and eases my fear of dropping phone accidentally. Using the Incipio metal case meanwhile-
brushed aluminum back- and decent lip around front. When the cyclops arrives- I will install the iloome tempered glass, and the holster from seidio. A bit of of overkill for some, Insurance to me. ( and I'm sure, many more feel the same way.) Granted- the uag is very attractive- But thats not enough to convince me if and when I accidentally drop my phone- that it will be unscathed... the moral of this story..read..read..read..get informed. Then decide.
the UAG is a dual layer "medium duty" case. it was never intended to provide the kind of protection a 3 pieces case provides.
a UAG and a glass front protector will provide 90% of the protection of the true "rugged" cases. I am so confident of this I am switching TOO the UAG.
the biggest bonus of the UAG comes in the most important location. Look at the corners. 100% the same protection as a true rugged case in the corners (where its really important) those extra thick corners are nice.
it is dual layer. so you have a polycarbonate skeleton inside (penetration protection) with the TPU outer (shock protection) its just "molded" into one piece instead of 2 or 3
where it does lack (but only ever so slightly) is front "depth" protection. a true rugged will sink the screen "deeper" into the case providing a very tiny bit more protection their. but not much.
if you need full face protection (holster style) then yes you need to switch to a true full on rugged case.
if you want true rugged full face holster AND ludicrous battery live wait two weeks and order the zero lemon with zero shock. very very impressive case. I have it for my Note II and I truly love the "feel" and "bulk" of the case and will get one for the Note 3 as well.
This offers better protection than the NeoHybrid without much more bulk or weight, right?
How about UAG with GLAS.tR, does that work?

Hey guys.
Does anyone know about the quality of the screen protector that comes with the UAG case? I have gadgetshieldz on my phone, wondering if i should apply the uAG protector.
This is a Review of Seidio SURFACE case for Galaxy Note 4. http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung...-kickstand-combo-black-p/bd2-hr3ssgt4k-bk.htm
First of all let me start off with a disclaimer that SURFACE version I received for my review from Seidio was the original one where the bottom mic opening wasn't aligned with my Verizon Note 4. As most of you are aware, Verizon really threw a curved ball by moving the left mic to make their Note 4 different from every other carrier. Seidio quickly caught up to this problem and the version offered on their website now is universal to work with any Note 4. In my pictures you are going to see the original alignment which is blocked on Verizon Note 4.
Now, back to the review! Seidio definitely has a winning formula with their line of popular SURFACE (also sold at Best Buy under their Platinum Series), DILEX (former ACTIVE), and CONVERT designs. I guess that is a reason why they decided not to re-invent the wheel and to continue with scaled up/down versions of these popular models for different phones. I have used and reviewed all of their cases for Note 2, Note 3, S4, S5, and Nexus tablets, so Note 4 will not be an exception. One interesting thing I have discovered, even so the wheel is not re-invented - it is always fine-tuned with some new details and subtle improvements. So let's take a look of what Seidio guys cooked up with this newly introduced case for Note 4.
SURFACE is the slimmest case in Seidio collection, but contrary to some other slim cases it actually offers an acceptable level of protection (both scratch and drop) for everyday basic use. Designed as two interlocking sliding pieces, it offers a unique way to go on the phone and to take it off without pulling/stretching the edges of the case. Once both of the halves locked together, it stays securely intact even if you drop it down. Made out of hard plastic material, it's lined with a soft felt layer inside to keep your phone from scratches and to add extra shock dampening. Outside surface has a soft rubberized coating which improves the grip and adds extra friction when placed down on the surface - it will not slide if bumped off a table, even a smooth glass top. Also, it has a decent lip bumper when phone is placed face down to protect the display while still allowing extra margin for screen protector. Assembled, it feels very solid and secure in your hand, rubberized finish is nice to the touch, and when removed from your pants it shouldn't pull your pocket inside out like some other cases do.
Thought Note 4 camera bump is not flush with a battery cover surface, I was pleased to see Seidio came up with a groove in the upper half of the case so that camera doesn't get scratched during assembly, and once assembled nothing sticks out beyond the case "surface". Obviously, there is no wobbling when you put the phone down on the back. Also, all the cutouts are perfectly aligned and easily accessible. There are no sharp edges, and every cutout has a nice rounded finish. I especially liked the generous opening for power and volume allowing easy access to otherwise shallow slim buttons. It also provides an extra room around the flash (one generous opening around camera and flash) to slide your finger to heart rate sensor. You will not have any issues accessing a charging port or s-pen, and should have plenty of room for headphones with larger plugs.
Of course, the review of SURFACE will not be complete without mentioning of its unique kickstand - one of the best built-in kickstand available on any of the cases I tested in the past. It's not some cheap plastic after-thought addition, but rather a high quality metal kickstand with magnetic mechanism to snap it back when not in use. Also, there is no interference with s-pen. The kickstand can only be used in landscape view which is very convenient when you want to watch a video/movie on your Note 4. And to complete this package, you also have Seidios holster with one of the best in class spring loaded latches. If you prefer to wear your Note 4 with SURFACE on your belt, this holster will be the best solution for it with inner felt-lining to protect the display from scratches, clip that swivels in 7 angles, and easy to access latch that keeps phone secured inside while also allowing one handed operation to remove it.
Overall, if you are looking for a great minimal case that offers both scratch and drop protection (although not as much of heavy duty drop protection), and a convenience of solid kickstand and holster - SURFACE is the top candidate in this category. Also, keep in mind that once CONVERT shell is available, you will be able to add another layer of heavy duty protection on top of SURFACE. I definitely recommend it for your Note 4!

Nice, what cases are up next?
I love my Surface. I like how the access to the buttons are open and the holster is nice and strong. Great review, thanks.
I will say the Surface is definitely a high quality case. It fits perfectly and has a good grip. If you can wait until Best Buy gets them you'll get the same case for $15 less and no shipping. I'm going to get the Convert add on kit when available and probably their Quest car mount.

Absolutely! BB deals are sometime as good as Amazon. CONVERT is a must for anybody with SURFACE, gives you flexibility of slim case when you are indoors and additional layer of protection when outdoors, plus I love CONVERT holster! As you correctly pointed out, the clip slides out and you can use it with their Quest system for car mount or armband mount.
Seidio is hands down best case and holster combo. BTW, how did you get them?

I have read every Seidio post on both this forum & the Android Central forums since the Note 4 came out and you are the only person I've seen comment negatively about the Seidio Surface. Exactly where are you seeing a number of users saying the top & bottom sections do not stay together?
I highly suggest you return yours to Seidio because as you can see on this forum you are the only one having problems with the case.

Wow, can't wait for the Otterbox reviews. Maybe a Symmetry in with that box of goodies ?
Does anyone have an opinion about the Capsa? It has an integrated screen door built in. I am strongly leaning towards it, in combo with the holster.
That's only if you don't snap it together properly. If you can remove any of their cases without some force your doing it wrong.

While I don't own this case (yet), I have owned Seidio cases for all of my past phones and am surprised to hear this comment. If anything they were always a little difficult to get back off since it snapped together so snugly. Can you point me to where this info is coming from?
My only gripe with this model (for other phones) has been a weak point at the holster hinge. If you sit down and torque the holster really hard, it can snap the plastic at the metal hinge pin. I'm hoping that they thickened the plastic at the hinge to solve this.

I had that happen on one that I used to own. I'm thinking about getting this though. I too hope it is better, but not confident it will be.
In terms of drop protection how are these cases. Definitely one of the nicest fitting ones and it covers the screen nicely without being bulky. I'm currently rocking the Spigen Tough armor and while I do like it... it feels really bulky.
Also that price. I need to wait for a price drop. For an extra $50 I could go naked and just do a warranty replacement when something breaks.
I would rate the Surface as very moderate drop protection which is why Seidio offers the Convert that turns the Surface into more of a maximum impact protection case. I hope I don't drop mine before the Convert is available. I think really any case as slender as the Surface would be very moderate drop protection.
I love Seidio cases.. and I was waiting for this one to be released for Note 4. In the meantime I bought a Ringke Fusion case and a Zagg Glass Screen Protector. After reading a couple of other posts about the holes not aligning with the case and the phone I decided to check this one out. Sure enough the holes do not align(well one does.. the other does not). So i checked these forums and saw this post. I want to get this case but according to the pictures it looks like this case comes in a lot on the edges on the front of the phone. The Zagg Glass screen protector that I have extents quite a bit just to where the screen starts to round. It looks like this case will not fit with my screen protector. Does anyone else have this Screen protector from Zagg? Does it look like this case would not fit with the protector? Kinda bummed that it looks like it won't fit.
Are the platinum and Surface the same case at best buy. Some searching online says they are just rebranded but the same case.

Yes they are and buying the Best Buy Platinum will save you $15 and the shipping charges for the exact same case and holster.
Actually after I thought about it buying it from Best Buy is like getting the holster for free. Wish I would have waited but I didn't want to go without a case so I ordered mine from Seidio.
I have this case on my AT&T Note 4. I had it on my Note 3 as well. I love the case but my new one has a bit of flex where the to pieces meet on the right side as you use the phone. It is like a loose creaky area. I am going to RMA it and see if the replacement has the same issue.
