I quite close to selling my Universal as i'm having problem carryng it. Cant find a case slim enoug to attach to my belt, the ones out in the market are just to chunky. And if i keep the PDA in my pocket it sticks out.
I've just bought a slim leather case for my O2 Exec from Noreve ( www.noreve.com ) that I'm very pleased with. It has a rather good belt attachment too. Comes in grey or black and costs €39.99.
Here's the link for the Universal case: http://www.noreve.com/brand/Qtek/pr...TC_universal_-_i-Mate_Jasjar_Tradition_-.html
You can also take a look at some other cases for the Universal at, for example, www.addonsworld.co.uk

The universal is a clamshell device. It does not need a case. I just close it an pop it in my pants pocket. That way its smaller than my old device, the Loox 720, in its thin slip case.
Try it for a few days without a case. You will be amazed.
Surur
I carry my Universal in my hands very carefully like a priest would his bible.
When I wear a belt, I put my V1640 in its Proporta case and attach it to my belt clip on my belt.
If I don't wear a belt, I put the V1640 in its original leather case and then in my pocket. I might do what surur does though.
If I just go for a simple walk, I carry it on a padded belt pouch. If I am at the gym, I carry it using a semi-hard case made for the NINTENDO DS which I bought for $2.95 at Radio Shack.
I would not recommend to put any Pocketpc in the pockets of your trousers. All devices are made of plastic, which is bending. Because of this, the device will bend when you move and after some time (approx. 4-6 months) it will produce errors, which are hardware related.
I bought an universal leather belt case from pielframa, which is perfect for the universal.
I got my Universal as a replacement for a Ipaq H5550, and i've found the old leather case for the Ipaq is almost perfect for the Universal. [Even with extended battery] The leather is better quaility and has more padding than the Universals case, yet it doesn't fell bulky, plus it also has a bulit-in belt clip and SD card holder.
I have to remove the Universal from the case to use it [no BT headset yet], but I had to do that with the Ipaq. So thats not a problem for me. :?

LOL Excellent !
I personnaly use a Krussel case, and I especially like the keyboard cover that protects my beloved Universal when I surf AND eat Nutella...
The Universal is either at my belt (at the crook of my back when I wear a suit, it is practically invisible), or in my case, since I have my tiny Jabra BT-800 in my pocket to answer calls...

where did you buy the krussel case with keyboard cover? can you fully close the universal with it? i saw a brando case with keyboard protection but the cover was too thick and it wouldn't close fully when i triedit...
thanks!
Hi there
Yes, I can fully close the Universal as the plastic cover, while being astoninshingly strong and resilient, is thinner than the pads on the lower corners of the keyboard. It doesn't get scratched either, it fits almost perfectly the shape of the Universal and almost nothing manages to slip under it. Finally, it doesn't change the "feel" of the Universal's keys, so the keyboard still is very fast to use, and still feels as good as when it is naked.
All in all a great case, the only way to improve it IMHO would have been to make it a two-pieces, independant set, with one for the keyboard base and the other for the swivel screen, but the downside to that would have been that the Uni would have received much less protection. So I'm very satisfied with it, especially when I see how cheap it is compared to Covertec / Noreve stuff.
One last thing to say is that it is also surprisingly durable: leather is still in prime shape, there are no deformations whatsoever, even though I've used it 24/7 for the past 6 months.
I saw the Brando you're refering to, I think, and I exactly know what you mean. No such thing with the Krussel.
I personnally bought it from a french web-shop called Kabiloo (excellent service, I'd recommend: www.kabiloo.com), for 25 €. But I saw it on many other european web-shops, such as expansys: http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=127398 . I didn't find any hungarian resellers though...
HTH
hi, this sounds great!!
i checked out the links. isn't this krusell the same as here: http://www.addonsworld.co.uk/product.php/28415/3340/
i've actually been considering the addonsworld one, but had no idea it included the keyboard cover!
so do you think it is the same? i'm going to order this from there then, they will ship here.. and expansys says not in stock.. (availability 7 days.. sure.. i don't trust expansys )
thanks again, you helped a lot i was really uncomfortable not being able to decide which case to get.. but i liked the krusell one the best even before reading your post.
Hehe, yep, that's te one I was indeed talking about.
It's probably not as "classy" as a NoReve, for sure, but it clearly is IMHO the most practical, with the best quality / price, I've seen around.

hehe, cool, thanks, i've ordered it immediately. hope i can tell about my experiences soon!
i didn't like the noreve one so much... it looked ok but not so practical for my usage. still, better than the pdair stuff. except for their metal case (at pdair), i've seen the metal version just today, and it looks excellent, my only complaint was its huge size. (and no keyboard protection..) other than that it is indeed very usable and feels robust. so its biggest advantage is that you don't have to be afraid of dropping your 1000EUR universal but i just found it too big.. so there's hoping the krusell will fit my needs perfectly
Nice move. For its price, it's a bargain, IMHO. You won't regret.

A word of WARNING
Hi,
here is a real nightmare story.....with a happy ending. I bought a Sony Ericsson P900 and loved the belt pouch that came with it.It clipped onto my belt and it was great.
Then the day after I paid over 600 euro for my phone I went into a supermarket for a browse around and proceeded to look at some boots which were on display in large metal creels. I had to lean over the side to pick up some for a closer look.
Later as I left the store something which had registered in my subconscious finally made it to the conscious and I reached for my phone........it was not there. I freaked. I retraced my steps in the store frantically looking for the phone, but no joy it was gone.
I borrowed someone elses phone and tried ringing it but the background noise was high and and I could not hear it.Ater an hour searching I gave up and left the store....devistated.
When I git to the car I just had to go back and take one last look, by now an hour had passed and the store was very busy. I went back to where the boots were and started looking through them again......and BINGO, there it was. I put the phone in my pocket for the journey home.
DONT USE A CASE THAT CLIPS ONTO YOUR BELT......GET ONE THAT HAS A PERMANENT BELT LOOP SO THAT IT CAN ONLY BE TAKEN OFF BY OPENING THE BELT BUCKEL. I got away with it, but it could have been a very costly lesson.
Shirt pocket
I like my phone in my shirt pocket. That way I can get to it easily, and put it back, and even hear it ring. No falling off my belt, no getting caught on things I'm walking by (I get my pockets caught on things occasionally; a phone sticking out is out of the question), no having it fall off into a boot, no crushing it in jeans pockets. This has a really big downside - it falls out any time I bend over and if I ever have to run I have to hold it in my pocket.
With my previous phone, a Treo, I bought egrips and those held it securely in a pocket. But egrips won't stick to an MDA, it is too slick. They come off after a few weeks of use.
So I attached a neck strap from a sandisk USB flash drive and put that around my neck. This saved it from falling into an aquarium just today. I can use the phone well, it is long enough. Occasionally it gets wrapped in the shoulder harness. It looks dorky, my wife thinks. Wait until she sees the Hello Kitty neck strap I've been eyeing.
Why does a USB flash drive come with a neck strap, anyway? Who wears a USB flash drive around their neck? And when will someone build a USB drive that fits in my wallet? The Cruzer almost does, but not quite.
Does anyone find a nice case for the Excalibur ?
I have searched all over the net and kiosks in nearby shopping mall. None yet!
Well, you'll find the occasional case, but it isn't customized for the Dash. They're basically more universal and, therefore, pointless.
Shouldn't be too long before they come out though.
I'm using the one that came with my QTEK S100 to hold the Excalibur.
fits well and allows me to carry it safely around.
Almost
http://www.fortte.com/scr/showcategory3.php/122
I just bought the T-Mobile Dash case from a T-Mobile store. It's quite good quality, only problem is that you have to take the phone out of the case to use it.
Just search for a Q case or a Blackberry case. Either of these should be sufficient.
Didn't you get one w/the dash? Mine came w/it, I like it. Hmm..
also, Mobile Planet has the original HTC S620 case for $16 online (same as the Tmobile Dash case). I ordered one and it is scheduled for delivery next week.
I think everyone got theirs with the Dash, and no one is looking for the same one, or one like it. We're all wanting one that you can leave it in while you use it -- something that'll protect it if it drops -- but -- thanks for your input

THIS is the case? Available soon, but if you have a look to the TREO case... this seem a copy in different size and Treo looks great
Hopefully that's just the first of many. To be honest, it doesn't look all that 'customized'. Personally, I'm wanting a snug-fitting leather case >without< a flip cover, or any plastic over the screen. The link you provided is a nice one though, just not as practical a case as some other styles.

I agree, some other case are more practical, but I need they MUST to be also protective
Thin leather around the Dash, with a screen protector decal...
I just upgraded from an HP6315, had it for three years with a case from this company http://www.cases.com/s620_excalibur.htm I can tell you it was the best $39 I spent, protected my phone repeatedly.
Get the Nokia CP-111 Case, it's the one for the Nokia E61 made by Nokia, it actually fits the phone very well. It's the one I've been using.
Indeed, a custom-fit case for the Dash was released. Check it out at here.
Large case logic pocket works for me.
http://www.caselogic.com/pockets_trade_150_large/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=78909
Cheap and slim.
The medium one might work too?
Looks sexy, but I wonder where to buy in Europe ??
I thought that some of you guys will be interested to know. I have sent enquiry to Vaja regarding the HTC Excalibur case and this is what I have received:
Hi SecureGSM,
For the time being we have not determined whether a case for this device will be developed or not.
In case it is developed we will contact you via email to let you know of such release.
We appreciate your interest in our products. Thanks!
Kind regards,

Case for T-Mobile Dash
I purchased a Jet Black Silicone case for T-Mobile Dash. It looks great and is much better than the case T-Mobile has. I bought it from eBay for $10 including shipping and handling.
I have also purchased transparent Silicone case, but it looks ugly, I wish I had never purchased transparent one.
I've had my dash now for 6 months and noticing im becoming less and less careful with it. I just saw on Amazon.com there are a few to choose from. I like to keep my phone in my pocket.
Any info or suggestions on what everyone else uses and likes would be greatly appreciated.

There are some links from Pudge and also views on cases i was just about to say that it's not exact subject but there are some ideas.
I use a leather case.
There is a selection on here http://www.wirelessground.com/tdahtcexac.html reason i gave other link is as the Aluminium cases look very sturdy.
Iv been leaning towards the cheaper silicon covers or clear plastic snap on's but I wanted some insight of whether they are worth having or if i should just save my pennies to buy a cool aluminum or leather cover.
I like the idea of having the screen covered though.
Thanks for the info Stylez.

I used to use a silicon case on the MDA Compact but found that crap would get between the silicon and the phone, the leather case does me as i only tend to have the case on when leaving the house but the Aluminium cases do look pucka and bet they would keep the phone in better shape for longer.
I really like the silicon covers... they are not bad in my opinion... you can get them for like less than 5 dollars off ebay...
I have a couple of the plastic covers and they are great. I wish they were rubbery (there are some that are) but the durability is great, they have protected my Dash very well. I only had one silicone cover and my complaint with it was pocket lint.
If you are a pocket person, I think you will like the plastic. If you are not, the silicone is "grippier" and thinner. I cant comment on the metal ones, they always scared me.
Haha metal ones look weird in my opinion. And yes I agree with you on the pocket lint... sometimes that is a pain...
rubberized cover
this is the one I have on mine and I've dropped it a few times and its quite strong against scratches and it cradles it pretty well. The downside is if your phone happens to freeze from overclocking or from doing tweaks, its a pain in the butt to remove for the battery or to change the sd card. To me is so worth it. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Black-Rubbe...4|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50
this the case i am using , http://www.wirelessground.com/tdaboglsccec.html
i needed a belt clip style to match the custom made setup i have in my vehicle from a previous phone .
holds the phone upright and secure in my field of vision even if i roll over ( yes it is an offroad vehicle ) i will try to get a pic uploaded tonight.
also , it can fit over a 1550 Mah extended battery , if you remove the back cover .
I´m using this and I love it!
and very cheap

Dose covering the top set of buttons impair the use in any way??
I wouldn't mind covering all the buttons if they all worked. Kinda like a keyboard condom.

I actualy bought that for my desire hd, and wish i had not, they are not that good you can see inperfections, that when you look at them apear like a crack.
Im prety sure this is becuase they are so cheap and sold via fleabay, if you was to find/purchase one elsewhere a more well known make then im prety sure you would not see these. but that is my opion of those.
yeah i rather buy a clear TPU gel case, actually i bought and recieved 2 from dealextreme.
the hard cases always break and pretty quick too
That case I gave a link to, I have. I can say its one of the best cases ever! No cracks or breaks and it protects the phone almost 100%! Its two pieces that dont actually attach to the phone at all, the two halves of the case snap together securly.
This type of plastic case however:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-CRYSTAL-CLE..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3cb3fdd80c
Is absolute bollox! It does attach itself to the phone and cracks within about 3 days...PANTS!
I bough this case in the end, its got a hard part on the back:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380332737615&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Im just gonna wait till they release a clear hard case that I think will be up to the job

OP,you may wish to consider the Samsung Book cover case even though it's more expensive. At first I hesitated because it was so expense. But afterwards, I'm glad I got it, as I really like the case. It was the thinnest case I've ever owned, after using many for my ipad. It keeps the GT thin even with the case on. The material also seems very durable, and does NOT show any finger grease! So no cleaning is required. Also I love the "4 clip at the corners" design. It doesn't cover any basel and I can clip my GT "upside down", which I am currently doing to gain better access to the buttons. (I will never use the rear camera so don't care that its covered).
