Need Handetta Case - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories

I've had a Handetta case for my T-Mobile MDA Pro (HTC Universal) for many years. The belt clip ring came off and will not go back on. So it appears I need a new case. Is Handetta out of business? I cannot find them--although I thought I did on PDAHut back on April 20, but they have not shipped it or responded to my e-mails. Does anyone else make something similar? The closest I've found is one by Noreve.com--but I'm really not sure about this.
Incidentally, my current HTC Univesal is working perfectly (I've had 3 since 2005).

you'd better try to check at http://www.pdahut.com/handetta-luxurious-cradle-compatible-leather-case-for-for-the-htc-magician-orange-spv-m500-mda-compact-xda-mini-qtek-s100-i-mate-jam-dopod-818.html

Not the Same Handetta
That's not the same case. Whatever happened to Handetta? I sent an e-mail to Noreve.com, but they haven't responded yet. Or: is there a tool which can reconnect the belt clip ring to the belt clip?
Update: I searched all over the Web and had to come back to PDAHut. I went through the process again of ordering the "Handetta Luxurious leather case for the XDA Exec, MDA Pro, ..." and everything seemed to go through. There is no indication whatsoever that this item is out of stock. I'm keeping my fingers crossed....

Clear Case for XDA 2 ?

Does anyone know if this clear case is any good ?
http://www.pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=70
I have an aluminium one but would like to change it to a clear one.
I like it very much
Ordered one with Proporta
Unfortunately theyre still out of stock there (price 14,95 GBP)
I rang pdamods.com this morning and they said they have them in stock and it would be delivered to my home tomorrow - Can't wait for it !!!
i rang proporta today to cancel my order but when speaking to the guy he said:
they come in this morning do i still want to cancel my order so i changed my mind he said hell get mine sent today 1st class so i should have tomorrow also cant wait nearly 2 months of waiting lol
i just wrote them a mail awhile agoe and got it back the server said it could not resolve the addresss then i went to their site
to look for another adress
and saw that my case was marked as ready to ship aswell
hope it gets here one day
Woohoo! Good news that i might finally recieve my order. Darn shame the phone is on its 2nd visit to the xda service centre
what is wrong with your XDA 2 (again) ?
Hanging a lot, first time i sent it back they apparentely reflashed the bootloader, but the same problems were happening when they returned it.
:lol:
jeeeha!! Mine is ready to ship as well.
Gues I just ordered mine just-in-time
(I canceled my previous order to express my anger form waiting more than a month)
just got a mail that mine had ship'd

does it reflect light making it diff to see the screen with lights around?

it doesnt feel too bulky at all, in fact it is the slimmest fitting case i have found so far for the xda. I used to use the proporta aluminium case which is a little bit bigger and thicker and heavier than this.
i have given the front a good squish test and even sat on it a few times and it seems vers strong. not as solid as the aluminium one but pretty damn close (has a little more give in it)
yey, yey, yey, i get full gsm signal with the case on as oposed to half signal that i used to get with the alu one!
a little light reflection from the case, however the screen is very visible and totally clear and colourful. I havent tested it in bright sunlight yet, however with a spot lamp it is fine!!!
there doesnt appear to be a belt clip attachment at all (unlike the alu one), so this might be an issue for people
Hope this helps guys!
to sum up i think this is the best case i have found yet for the xda II, all the buttons are easily accessible and the flip over top design is much easier to hold than the side opening alu one. It is a brilliant case!
2 possible draw backs that dont bother me at all :
1) no belt clip
2) no sd storage slots
brilliant design i recommend everyone who is looking for a small case for keeping their xfda in their pocket gets this. i am very impressed. was worth the 2 month wait!!
well from looking at your pictures there is a hole under the hole for the cam
on the std case there is a hole like it and you put in the org beltclip in it and it locks
are you positive that you cant just plug in your org beltclip
i dont really use the beltclip for anything other then stoping my xda
from moving to the buttom of my front pockets, so the clip in on the outside of the pocket
(yes i have abnormaly large pockets )

Ballpoint Pen Replacement Stylus for Universal

I just saw this on Boxwave.com:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/styraballpointpen/styra-ballpoint-pen-stylus-htc-universal_724.htm
Since I went from the PDA2k to the Eten m500, I haven't had a styra for six months and I've missed it so much. They are so nice
I just ordered it today so I should get it this week and I'll report how well it's made and include some pictures
Now all I need is a decent car mount.
That looks great! Let us know how you get on.
Tell us if it fits better than the original which snags on something and goes flying every other time I take it out of my pocket.

HTC Universal (O2 XDA Executive) Case

I bought an XDA Executive a few months ago, after 10 days the case fell apart (bad stitching) after contacting O2 they said they don't and can't supply a new case and that i'd have to search the net for one less than £15 and send them the bill :/
None that i've seen so far seem to be very useful or look reasonable, i'd really prefer an original (more of a pouch without having to undo things to get it out of the case each time) but i haven't been able to locate an original anywhere yet.
Has anyone come across one or have a new original from O2 that may be for sale?
Surely as the package was bought from O2 with a guarantee then the onus should be on O2 to replace it.
I'd go back to O2 and push on it because it sounds like they're giving you the fob off.
That was having spoken to a supervisor (don't know what they supervised though).
I got myself one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XDA-Exec-iMat...845608818QQcategoryZ57253QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Really pleased with it, a good alternative to what you are after.
I'm quite fussy with the style, don't like the buckle over the top, i thought the O2 one was ideal, shame they're being awkward about it.
I've been looking at the:
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125869
and
http://www.covertecstore.com/search/search_type.asp?menu=smart&ref_machine=IMATEJASJ#1
The expansys one looks quite nice, but does anyone happen to have one and could give a review and some pictures of it from all angles, specifically the back as the site doesn't display any and it mentions having a belt clip which i'd rather not have but wonder how bad the attachment is on the back if i don't have it on (if it is on the back of course)
Althernatively the covertec one looks very handy for the being able to see the incoming calls with the screen at the front, belt clip attachment doesn't look too obvious / obstructive either.
So anyone who has either could you provide some information / close up photographs?
Thanks
I have just ordered the covertec case so will report back once it has arrived.
I bought a case from Piel Frama (the new model), and I'm very happy with it

Nice
I'm going to need one of these when my Artemis arrives within a couple of days. Not sure but i think that it comes with a holder for the car in the box. Anyway just wanted to say that you should stay away from the holders that attach to the heating vents of the car. My unlce who works for Cisco Systems told me that they have been flagged by his company because it apparently is not good for the device.Not sure if this is true but just wanted to give this community a heads up on this one. I say you go for the suction holders.

The P3300 comes with a car holder, which looks very much like the brodit holders oddly enough...
Also comes with a windcreen suction mount and a natty HTC car charger (witch shiny chrome HTC embossed on it)
You only get the car charger, windscreen mount and 512MB Transflash card with the Premium version (this is the one with full TomTom mapping included) - well thats what the manual states, I got all three "extras" with mine - Mike
I didn't get any accessories with my device. I just got the base unit with the manuals, etc. I need a car mount.

Hey Neptune,
I see what you are saying, but thousands upon thousands of very satisfied customers and no damaged devices, along with rigourous controlled tests really do mean you are worrying about this without a valid cause!
Thanks
Bryson
anyone know of any other holder/charger units for the artemis? £40 quid is kinda expensive!
It Sucka

This device sucks its build cheap ass so it wont fit smoothly it has broken my mini usbport on the p3300. Need to get it fixed hope it will fall under my guarantee. Find another carholder/charger this one sucks!
Perjan, thanks for the heads up. For £40 i would be expecting top build quality.
Brodit holder for UK O2 XDA Orbit
The Orbit is basically an Artemis with a redesigned shell....
Does anyone know if the Orbit will fit into an Artemis / Brodit holder?
Cheers
Chris
hi
the orbit usb port is located slightly differently to the P3300 i believe it is only millimeters out but could make a difernence. I heard Brodit were making a holder specific to the Orbit for that reason.
Re comments above about vent holders i used one for 2 years with a IPAQ 5550 and had no issues at all.(infact in the summer it was a bonus as the ai con helped keep the device cool)
I find they are not so suitable for the Orbit as the clip/holder that is stuck to the device is not Orbit friendly.and if i use the clip that came with the Pdair case it hangs forward.
i use a suction mount with the side grip bars and it works great with the PDair case.
Well I have the brodit mount for the Artemis and it works well with the Orbit. It arrived after I read this post and I was aware it might not fit exactly so I gently bent the connector on the mount and it now fits perfectly and I am more than happy with it.
I am now just awaiting the brodit pro clip to attach it to the dashboard over the air vent. As I do not want to leave the screen mounted holder in the car due to last attempted break in!
Just to confirm only gentle pressure is needed to align the connection to fit perfectly to the Orbit so well worth the money in my opinion.

[Update 5.16.12] (Magnetic) Steelie Mobile Device Holder W/pics

Anybody heard of this new car mount yet?
Steelie Mobile Device Holder
They also have an iPad tabletop stand.
Just ordered the car kit cause It looks like a great product. I love this idea!!!
The best thing is that if you send them your case. They'll punch a hole in it so that the magnet can mount straight to the phone and is a little more discrete.
They were originally on Kickstarter and almost doubled their goal.
Just wanted to post/support a (what seems to me like a great product) that is MADE IN THE U.S.A.
What do you guys think?
And no I am not affiliated with them in any way.
*****Update 5.16.12*****
Just received the car kit!
Includes:
1 x STEELIE Ball
1 x STEELIE Socket
1 x Alcohol prep pad
1 x Primer stick
1 x Instructions
Uploaded some photo's to show all that is included with instructions.
Also dims of "STEELIE Ball" (for dashboard) and "STEELIE socket" (for phone).
Will update in a few more days with results in
*Ease of use
*Ease if installation
*Durability
*GPS interference (if any)
*Anything you all might ask in the meantime
Im not 100% positive, but i think this will mess your GPS and NFC obviously.

Me either but when mine comes I'll post a review with pics and a video after some testing.
Although I can't test NFC. I will post GPS results from Google Navigation.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Looks good, went to buy one for holding my Nexus in the car for $35. Went through to Paypal - shipping to Australia? $45!!!! NOPE.

That's unfortunate. Did you try to email them to see if they can help you with possibly offering different shipping options?
Saw these guys at a small town fair in Louisville, CO a week ago. Looked like a good product and the guys who own the company were very enthusiastic and helpful. I specifically asked about GPS interference etc. and they said they'd evaluated several phones with no issues.
I also expressed concern about the size/thickness of the engagement point on the phone and they said that they were working on a lower profile version.
Would really like to see these guys do well. Another small business emerging from middle-class America. Gotta love that.
Similar idea to tetrax, but may be easier to find a mounting spot since it looks like it doesn't need the same sq inch spot if you're not using the vent mounted version.
Wow, this is awesome and perfect for my needs! Just went in for one!
I have a window mount currently but it's a pain if I want to rotate it at all because you have to loosen the ball joint and then tighten it back up. And it's almost impossible to do it with the phone in the holder while keeping it at the angle you want.
That, and the suction cup will fall off from time to time. I've also gotten "yelled at" by a cop for having it up as well, so this will "obstruct my view" way less!
This is so much simpler to use, even though it will add a slight bit of bulk.

Thanks for posting about this here, Iv been researching this product everywhere that I can, but its a hard product to find info about, and whats even worse is that the company has not returned my calls or emails in 3 days since contacting them. Either way I found the steelie product on sale here and I already bought it. http://www.123inkcartridges.ca/accessories-product/ST_C.html and now Im hoping it can be used with my galaxy note i717. Now this is a big phone, probably the biggest and heaviest on the market and im worried it will not work. Does anyone know if my phone will work? Also the steelie on this website looks different than all the other steelie pictures iv found, is the one I bought an older or newer version of the steelie? I already contacted 123 ink cartridges and they assured me that its not counterfeit.
Let us know how the thing feels with a big ol', honkin' magnet on the back of it. I'm intrigued, but think having a magnet the size of a 50-cent piece on the back of my GNex would make my having a pretty custom case rather pointless.
The site also says it doesn't interfere with NFC. I'm dubious and would love to hear from some third parties.

NEVER MIND! the one i bought was a counterfeit... lame. oh well im getting a refund on it.
Any updates?
I see that they offer the Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket for purchase by itself, but dont see it listed for sale anywhere. Would be nice for different cell phone uses that drive the same car. I guess you could always mount it to a easy to swap out phone case if you have the same phone as other users.
