Poor Battery Life, System Crashes and Battery Cases

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

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.

Great Xoom stand wallet leather case

I believe I just found the perfect case for the Motorola Xoom!
I really love the original Motorola Xoom Portfolio case but the fact that is leaving scratches on the Xoom and most importantly the missing angle for typing on it, was keeping me away from buying it.
It looks like this case I just found is completely identical with the original one, extremely similar design but with an extra adjustment for typing! Hopefully it doen't leave scratches too!
I beleive this is what most people are looking forward to..

I am not familiar with this website and it looks like a wholesale/mass order seller and there is no price.
But at least this is a great start
What you guys think?
Edit, more info:
It's made by a company called Y-Case.

It looks exactly like the Motorola portafolio case. But probably more expensive.

And still no port for charging while closed.

This case will probably leave scratches 2.

It's very similar to the popular Toblino iPad case, which is well liked.
I actually reached out to the manufacturer of this case. The reply back was:
"The price for this case is 5.0usd/pc,MOQ is 300pcs." ... sadly I'm not an importer and am not willing to take the risk to import 300 units and resell them! Even at $5 each!
Hopefully someone will pick it up for distribution in the U.S.
FYI, the KeviKev case is available on Alibaba as well, for significantly less $$$... the markup is pretty severe on that case.

Yes it is availible on there as well now get a quote for genuine leather not the $5 PU man made stinky stuff, add the shipping import taxes customs duties shipping supplies federal taxes state taxes cost of operating, web fees paypal fees ebay fees ect ect and i bet you would be amazed at what they wind up costing. Now look at the flimsy cheap motorola OEM case that sells for the same price, who's mark up is worse? and as you said you wouldnt take the risk at $5 That $5 ends up being $30 by the time you add everything up,Thanks

are you sure the KeviKev case is the same one on Alibaba? Maybe the leather quality is different?
I'm only asking because I was actually thinking of getting the KeviKev case. The Pdair case is nice, but very expensive ($120) http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000659_11001165_11001166&products_id=32373

@kevikev ... your points are exactly why I wouldn't take the risk. Note I didn't cut your business down for doing the importing... in fact I think you're doing a great job and a fantastic service to the Xoom community. Bravo. If you peruse the forums, here and at the owner support site, you'll quickly notice I've been pimping your cases... because of these reasons. As a matter of fact, I was one of the first to note it and drive people to your site and ebay auction. So, be nice! I'm allowed to have an opinion kevikev!
That said... $48 is still pretty steep for a case... including the crappy moto case I purchased on day 1. Not to say I wouldn't pay that much for a decent leather case... with proper cutouts of course ;-)

that's good to know...the leather makes all the difference
Also, the xoom is kinda curved in the back...does the leather curve up as well so its not a loose fit on the side edges?

Need to pays taxes accountants and so on. Thanks for you post I'm glad to see someone realizes that this is work. Best buy probibly pays 5 bucks for the motor case now that's a markup

Its a good fit not curved though, I do have one being built that is like the Motorola case but in a carbon fiber leather like material that the clips are leather warped if you look at my website at the tab case you'll see what it will look like but made for the xoom it will actually have a typing position did you guys get the coupon code for the xoom. Case 10% off use the coupon code xoom.

Plastic case, pouch, screen protector?

My box of Xperia Play didn't include a pouch so I must buy something to protect the phone.
I saw a cool plastic case: http://www.accessorygeeks.com/oem-t...-plastic-silicone-case-ag-xper-py-bk-blk.html and I thought it's good for me, but after a while I realised it turns the phone into a brick, something I don't really want to.
So then another option is to get a pouch, searched and found a few, but pretty expensive ($35 - $60). I just want something good, good looking and for a price of maximum $15.
Optional: An invisible screen protector which theoretical protects the screen for scratches.
I need some help here. What should I buy?

I don't know if you know this but, the Xperia Play comes with a preinstalled invisible screen protector. So you're half covered already.
I can't recommend you a case/pouch since I don't have one but I don't even want to know how bulky it'd be with one when it's on my pocket.

I got the official sony ericsson executive hardcase and i love it - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Ericsson-SMA7110-Executive-Xperia/dp/B004S5CP0Q
I don't really like the snap on case because I hate adding bulk to an already bulky phone and also I have the DK300 dock and it would require me to constantly take off the other cases.
I also bought the official pouch that came with the European models from here - http://www.netimes.com/shop/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-pouch-ca850-p-3255.html?cPath=70_808

Off-topic but how trustworthy is that site? I see they have a lot of accessories and ship worldwide, so far I've only used DealExtreme but they don't have many phone-specific stuff (except for the iphone).

Fast and efficient and supply tracked shipping.
I was amazed they had tracked shipping with signature approval for something that was just an envelope.

foofbag
Check this out: (google foofshop)
I bought my macbook sleeve/pouch from there a few years ago and it was awesome for keeping scratches off etc. Then When I got my play I measured up the iphone sizes for their iphone cases and on a whim just bought one to see if my would fit in it. was a bit tight at first but after a while it now fits as snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug! and it looks cool aswell, hardly adds any bulk and even if it does at least when I pull it out I don't look like I have a brick for a phone but just an awsome pouch/sleeve thing and i pop my phone out of. defo recomend.
So to make sure you guys are aware, if you're up for it, buy the iphone sized one, thats the one I got. They are designed to fit iphones but plays fit fine ;oP lol. They're Australian based but post all around the world, i got mine within a week in the UK.

I got the second one with my phone. I generally hate phone cases but this is nice since it's not making a brick out of phone and it's not taking away it's style. On the left is a cut-out so the headphones plug isn't covered, and it makes easier to take out the phone.
Pouch on first link is a bit ugly.

bought a cheapy gel case of Amazon and noticed there is not openings for the stereo speakers , I just looked at the case in post 1 and it has not speaker openings as well

This item, on ebay, has the speaker ports open, and is slimmer, and better than the Gel one I tried:
Search for that item number: 190527208284
I've got one of these, and it's well worth a few quid more.

Your case looks like the one i was going to order from Amazon for £2.99 , but is only £1.99
Thanks
John.

lol..It's a nice case, fits well, is slimmer than the crap one I had(prepaymania £2 gel case, and another from local phone shop, both identical to be honest), and I had given up on cases for it, as well, I thought most were the same(people even have issues with otterbox, etc..)
It's semi transparent, and it allows the sliding motion well, better than the other two I tried, i felt they were prising the phone apart, but this one isn't an issue.
well worth £1.99, IMO.

Specific Case Requirements!

Hi guys, I'm about to make the plunge and buy a Note sometime this week from a local store (offer is on, cant miss out!)
However, the only case they sell is pretty...meh. So I'm going to have to order one online.
The one I use on my current ipad1 is a Mophie folio case like this: http://www.avenueapplemac.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mophie-workbook-iPad_2.jpg
Its a different version for my iPad one, but basically the same. Im looking for another one like it for the Note.
Requirements:
- Folio/flip cover style, to protect the screen when not in use (I dont want to use screen protectors)
- Some way to keep the flap closed. The mophie has the elastic strip which works perfectly, and tucks behind the tablet when its open. Magnets will not be any good, as I hear they interfere with the SPen...
- Should go without saying, but good quality workmanship. Holes all lines up, that sort of thing.
I did look through the cases threads, but a lot of them were back-only plastic cases, or a variety of cheap ebay cases (which in my experience can be very hit-and-miss when it comes to build accuracy).
Amazon searches came up with a couple decent looking cases, but with no shutting mechanism... Worst comes to worst I'll buy a big elastic strap to go round it, but I'd rather not.
Oh yeh, and the other issue was that a few of the promising cases dont exist in the UK amazon store, I guess they are from american companies or something. So a UK sourced recommendation would be nice!
Anyone got any recommendations? Otherwise I shall go for something like...

Hard to say what is a best since it could be a matter of personal preference, but you can get a lot of choices here: http://www.tvc-mall.com/search?cid=&q=note+3+wallet
If I'm looking for no-brand name accessories, I typically deal with either tvc-mall.com for cases or dx.com for other gadgets.

I have not seen any brand cases where they have those card slots and have nice texture.
Many cases looks so wierd and poor quality.

Looks very similar to one of the S4 cases I tested/reviewed from case-parts.com (it's the same company as tvc-mall.com), here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319150 - scroll down to white wallet case. The texture and built quality was very good.

this looks very proper and elegant, thanks :good:

Taking a shot with this. Exactly the type and style I was looking for. Almost abnormally high number of 5 star reviews on Amazon but looks legit:
Black Panther Leather Wallet Case
Black Leather Wallet Case
Ordered the Black Panther directly through their website, followed on Twitter for 10% discount, ends up $9 cheaper than Amazon
Fliptroniks direct link
No mention of it (or the company) through a search here at xda so taking a chance. I'll return and give my opinion once I get it.

Spigeon Slim Armor S-view
Although I usually love Spigeon cases, the Slim Armor S-View model is sub-par IMO. The hinge for the front cover is held together by two small plastic pegs, which after less than a month of opening and closing it has caused the plastic part that holds the pegs in, to break off and the hinge will not stay on and close. If you just love the case or want the S-View function, than I would eith suggest the official Samsung S-View case and buy the magnetic clips to keep it closed, or get a knock-off case. I remember aliexpress.com having a bunch of knock-off stuff for cheap, but keep in mind it is still knock-off/clones.

Wallet case? I don't know, probably Spigen has some nice cases. I have one wallet case and is from Design Skin. I like it, but don't how others would think about it.

I just want to say i don't like my Note 3.
