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
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HP-iPAQ-OEM...840044486QQcategoryZ15036QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
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.

Marry christmas and happy new year to all of you
Are they any case solution other then the one I've seen online from Sony Ericsson themselves.

the standard screen protector is actually very good and scratch resistant. i've been using it for a week and a half, taking it to work and play, in and out of pockets, even ones with zips (although been extra careful here i guess!). and still not a single tiny scratch anywhere.
I’m currently looking for a silicon case for the Xperia Play, which should be the same as the ones available for the Arc.
Anyone noticed a case like that? =/
Looking for the same, Please inform me if you found any.
Best Regards.
Just bought the Sony Ericsson SMA7110 Executive Hard Case for Xperia Play off amazon (uk) was £15 when i bought, now only £11.20!! (typical lol) (instead of £25 off se site) Arrived today and it does the job fits well e.t.c. I think i may also look into Zagg Invisible Shield All over Protection for peace of mind. any comments on what the zagg shield is like steelmm?

Thanks how does this work is it a clip on case or like a pouch that you have to take the phone in and out of.?
The Sony Ericsson SMA7110 Executive Hard Case has that elasticated middle, I guess its a snug fit? only worry is it would catch/scratch rear case?
At the moment still looking for a case but think I may just leave it with out. Keep screen protector fitted and then when the rear case can always be replaced if it gets damaged.
I had a Zagg kit once and know a lot of people who swear by them but they always end up pealing on the edge and look hideous when they do
Hopefully some decent cases or replacement covers will come out soon.
*it's back up to £14 on Amazon so you didn't do to bad Mozza2k11

This is official Sony Ericsson hard pouch case for the Xperia Play. It has a magnetised closing flap at front and as Laird mentioned the flap also doubles as a pull tab to remove the play.

Yes it is a snug fit, no movement (prob cause it was made for the phone ). And as far as catching/scratching the back when removing/inserting the play. I have had mine in and out of the case about 30+ times and no scratches or any visable marks. The case is lined with a velvet lining to prevent such things. I took a pic see below.
I was looking for a clip on case but due to the the slide motion i think the best kinda clip on case would be the zagg. I mainly want the zagg for the back cover for better grip since i already have 2 screen protectors on lol.
hmmm it seems your right, probably was cheaper but cost more for postage so they got the £15ish in the end But £15 instead of £25, bargain (looks cool too ). Would recommend to anyone.
I hate the look of cases on new shiny devices.
I just stick to my motto.
"Don't ****ing drop it! "
There's some designed hard cases on Ebay if you take a look. For the UK it will be under the international sellers section.
So... Today I didn't stick to my motto :0
No damage done though, quite a sturdy little thing. Was expecting the back to fly off at the very least but all held together well.
Oh, and this was on to concrete floor from about 3 feet !
I fitted a zagg full shield for now, all looking good apart from maybe 2 bits of dust trapped on the screen
as for the case, i have seen some hard shell cases on eBay, 3 different colors
Type SHELL CASE FOR SONY ERICSSON XPERIA PLAY to find them.
I'm wanting a leather case with the screw on clip at the back, as i use them to attach phones to my motorbike for the sat nav,
but I'm still unable to find one that will fit the play, my old desire cover is of course too thin
if anyone has seen any please let me know.

Has anyone tried this case and do you know where can be found same type of case with lower price?
Easecase cases are very high quality as i bought one before for my Sensation. I've never seen them cheaper than what you see on Ebay as they are each custom made. I was thinning about the E5 or E6 versions but at a cost of over £60 it's a lot for a case. Excellent quality, you get what you pay for.

I had an Easecase for my Dell Streak and despite the rather high cost, I'll be purchasing one for my not yet owned white Gnote ...
They're fabulous quality and you can choose from so many options with regard to colour, design, size ... I asked for my Streak case to have a hole so I could attach a strap and they were happy to do this even though not their usual design. Sold on ebay and ships from Hong Kong and even though custom made, the turnaround was excellent, allow several weeks though.
Overall outstanding!!
Now I just need my Note
i order E4 EASECASE Custom-Made Leather case for Samsung Galaxy Note...i'll update more when i get.
E5 ordered
I've ordered the E5 in the hopes I can entirely replace my wallet with it.
Once the looooong wait is over to get it, I'll post a my thoughts and feelings.
If anyone has ordered something from these guys before, how long did it actually take to get it.
I'm in Sweden at the moment, and, strangely, mail to here seems to come a lot quicker than it does to the UK - at least based on my ordering stuff from the US and the EU since I have been here.
I'll be watching this thread also, as I'm considering getting a custom-made case for my Note as well.
I'm aiming to replace my wallet. I'd like to keep my credit and debit cards, my workplace badge/ID card, my car spare key, and some cash all available on the Note. A friend jokingly called me ridiculous for wanting to keep all those possessions in one place, because if it ever got lost....
But for the past year my Vibrant has been at my side constantly, save a day or two. I've taken to wearing a stereo BT headset for awhile now, and it beeps if I get out of range of the Note, so there's a reminder.
One of my main concerns, though, is the day to day accessibility that might be impeded by the wallet/case enclosure. Will the flap over the screen fold back all the way out of the way? Will the Note + leather case be too thick and cumbersome for the pocket? Will the Note's CPU get overly warm? How about the stylus access? Can the flap double as both a vertical and horizontal kickstand for movie viewing?
I hope most of these concerns will be manageable. A supple leather case custom-fit for the Note just oozes class and functionality. Hope to see some positive reviews forthcoming...

may i know how you ordered the a5? i am looking around their store and cant find that model
is lining leather selection to determine the leather inside? so you can have different color/leather inside??
I may purchase the A6 case, but have had bad experiences with leather phone cases in the past.
Are easecases soft to the touch?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Anyone here have this case ordered? Can you share the manufacturer's link?
I was planning on getting a certain Easecase, but can't seem to find the particular style anymore. Was looking for the case with the flap on the left to hold credit cards and the open-face pouch on the right, so you can use the Note without taking it out.... anyone see that link anymore?
I seem to recall that the case I was looking at was from an Australian shop. Was looking to have it custom-made (hole for stylus, engraved name, ability of left flap to bend back to double as a kickstand...)
Thanks,
Andrew
I ordered one from Ebay. It took a few Weeks to arrive and when it did it had not been made to the specification i ordered. I emailed the seller who apologised and made a replacement free of charge. Both cases are of very high quality and i highly recommend them.

Hi Guys !
Just looked at this thread and the link on eBay , as I´m also waiting for a high quality leathercase - I´d ordered mine from PIEL FRAMA.
Scrolling down the advertising page on ebay I saw the different possibilities of closure-mechanisms , so there´s my warning:
Beware of magnetic closures , they will make problems with SGN Display in the region of the magnetic flap !!
Statement: PielFrama also produced their first Series of SGNCases with a magentic flip mechanism and MUST change back to nonmagentic snaps !
EmailReply PF :
We have been checking the case with our craftsmen and now, everything is
solved so that, the case you will receive does not have any problem.
This post should solve dissapointments cause of sharing recent experiences !

I am mighty impressed by the simplicity of the D2 case but the seller doesn't ship to India. Would have loved to get one.

I suggest you email the seller and ask if he'd be willing to send it to India anyway... I travel a lot, and often vendors can be accommodating if you send a copy of your passport or pay by bank transfer or something.
Failing that, a volunteer on here to ship it on to you

Can you elaborate what is PielFrama? Are you talking about EASECASE? or who?
I want to order an E6 (which is a wallet) with magnetic closing - but need to know whether that would cause problems or not - or you saying its fixed?
PS: Anyone knows whether the phone fitted with a Flip case would still easily get into an E6 (or other cases, I suppose they have same space compartment for the phone).
I am currently using PDair case with magnetic closure without encountering problems so far. I've also ordered an A4 Easecase also with magnetic closure, and the manufacturer e-mailed me last week that the inner side of the closure is 'demagnetized' and therefore shouldn't be a problem.
Given the negative views expressed in the XDA forum on magnetic closures, I'm still uncertain and keeping my fingers crossed.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'm thinking of getting the E2 case. I was wondering if you've tried to have your galaxy note in a easecase while having an additional case on the phone (i.e., Nillkin). If so, how's the fit?
I had the pdair with magnets and still do, only thing is i took the magnet clasp off and attached a non magnetic clasp instead when i noticed the compass moving with the magnet while using maps, flip the case right over and the highly magnetic side is facing the back of the phone, so the compass moves there check out my before and after pics of my sewing on the new clasp in the magnetic clasp message in the note accessories forum

I actually have a Zenus Galaxy Note Prestige Origami Diary Series case (webpage here), which also has a magnetic latch. As a precaution I have stopped using this case until more information comes out about magnets interfering with the S-Pen and screen. In the meantime, I have sent Zenus USA this e-mail... hopefully they may know about this situation and / or update us with either more information or a change in their product design to non-magnetic cases...
=== e-mail to Zenus USA ===
Dear Zenus,
I have recently purchased a Galaxy Note Prestige Origami Diary Series case for my Samsung Galaxy Note, and I have a question / query about the magnetic closure system used to keep the case closed...
As you may or may not know, the Samsung Galaxy Note has a WACOM-based stylus to be used on it's display, which utilises a magnetic layer on top of the phone display itself. This allows the stylus (the S-Pen) to draw very accurate points and lines along the whole of the screen itself.
Now, there have been reports that magnetic latches on phone cases may interfere with the sensitivity of the Galaxy Note's magnetized screen, and over on the XDA-Developers forums there have been several discussions as to whether magnetic opening and closing mechanisms on cases actually do affect the S-Pen's accuracy. Reports have ranged from no effect at all to a complete "dead zone" around the part where a case with a magnetic latch is in close contact to the screen for an extended period of time. An example of such case can be seen in this forum post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19887574&postcount=11
And this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445478&page=4&styleid=15
Now I am not personally sure whether the Galaxy Note Prestige Origami Diary Series case, which does have a magnetic latch, will affect my phone's screen in any way. But as a precaution I have temporarily stopped using the case.
But as a very satisfied customer of Zenus, I hope the company can be aware of such new issues popping up and if / when it is found that yes, magnets in close proximity to the screen for an extended period of time will affect the accuracy / usability of the S-Pen on the Samsung Galaxy Note; that Zenus can let it's customers be aware of this issue and (possibly) alter the designs of the cases so that it has a physical hook / physical latch / velcro etc. as a opening-closing mechanism instead of a small magnet...
For now, us folks over on XDA-Developers forums have issued a word of caution about the use of cases with magnetic latches for the Samsung Galaxy Note. And would like a few answers as if the magnetic latches actually have a negative effect on Galaxy Note screens in the long run...
Thank you for your time and effort in reading this very long but (arguably) nessecary notification to your products,
byeh (XDA Member)

What do you guys think?
Do you think these cases are worth it?
-someone recommended this but we don't have it here in Davao City, Philippines despite having a Case-Mate store. They say the Case-Mate stores in Manila have this.

What do you guys think? I've had a grey mei feng for a while but it is slowly breaking down. the edges are cracked. I prefer a case that covers the entire back side and the top and bottom parts to avoid scratches on that precious material. Krussell cases expose the "Xperia" and that is a no-no for me since i know it will fade eventually when exposed. Was thinking of incipio but too pricy. If anyone can offer me their incipio for a reasonable price then i would consider it. lol. Thanks
I already mentioned this in the Z3 forum but I'm thinking it's a good thing to warn more people. I hope the mods won't mind.
I bought this Snakehive cover 6 months ago for my Z3. To my despair, I realized recently that the strap and the slot inside the cover damaged my Z3 screen. You can clearly see in the images below the slot form permanently "printed" on the screen:
Note that the finger traces are made on purpose to make the issue more visible under light.
I'm extremely cautious with my phones as I tend to sell them frequently to get newer devices for a reasonable price. I never damaged the cover itself : it is quite thick and doesn't bend under pressure (it's a good quality cover actually), so the damage really just came from the phone being in contact for too long with the strap.
I contacted the cover's brand and they pretty much denied that the cover is responsible and just told me to get in touch with Sony, which will never cover it under warranty of course (it's a wear issue not a device fault).
So, beware of this kind of Snakehive covers, they can damage your phone !
It's not really fair to decry all Snakehive covers, your cover may or may not have damaged your phone, but I have owned the wallet type leather cover for 15 months now on my Galaxy S4 and it is certainly the best purchase I have ever made.
It's well made in leather and no real wear marks after extensive use, I also use it as a wallet for my money (what the wife lets me keep that is). I have been that impressed with it I am going to treat myself to their burgendy finish version for my birthday in the new year.
At least with the wallet style version there is no need to remove the phone to answer a call, my opinion is that it's a well made product although slightly more expensive that most people would normally pay. There again it is also lasting far longer that the cheapy case I bought off EBay for my Galaxy S so I suppose that you get what you pay for.
A big thumbs up to Snakehive from me.
