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.

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

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

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.

Check this out. Says they ship to the USA but not sure where they are based. I have this case myself and it is very good.

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!)
ive been trying to find out some info about pouches and it seems no one has any of the ones i am trying to find info about. i have now nearly decided to purchase the fitbag pouch. for those who have one, how are they holding up and do they fit as good at this video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elM4SQGQvGM after using it for a while.
also, how is the quality of the alcantra vs the nappa version. cant decide between the two.
regarding protection, how have you found them with general bumps,drops etc. thanks.
i posted up photos of my nappa ones from fitbag on the pouch thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27340586&postcount=212
the fit is exactly like the one in the video you posted above, ive had mine for a week now, the nappa leather is really soft but its very strong i cant speak for the alcantara one but its just a fancy word for fake suede so i went with genuine nappa leather was an easy choice as nappa leather is known for its durability so it doesnt just look good and stay looking good it will keep protecting your phone for awhile
hope that sheds some light
thanks for the info. i am also in australia. how long was delivery from when your ordered it to arrival. they say approx 25 days? i think i am going to get both the alcantara with light green robot and the red/black nappa leather one. they just look so good.
I got one for my htc one x. Brown corduroy. It fits nicely. Good quality.
I got mine for about a month now.
It's alcantara black with shielding.
Holds up just perfect, still looks like new.
I ordered a fitbag for my HTC Desire 2 years ago and I wouldn't do it again.
Its too expensive. No really need for it. Nearly no protection with the fitbag.
The only good thing about it: it really fits well.
Btw.: it was a full-grain leather sort of a buckskin.

took the plunge and ordered 2 android lite alcantara fitbags (one for a mates htc one xl) and one red/black nappa leather fitbag. end up being about $30 aud each including delivery. not bad for a custom fitting product.
Hi!
I am wondering if the plastic "protector" comes with the official separate metal bands for $80?
The plastic "protector" is included with the new metal moto 360 models, but I'm not sure if it's only them or if they are being sold with the separate metal bands $80 at att.com aswell..
Why do I want to know? Well... I visited the watchmaker, he doesn't want to put on a custom metal band because "it will crack without some kind of protection". I believe him because thats probably why motorola added the plastic protector on their official 22" metal moto 360 editions. Also I wanted a more narrow band since I am thin - can only do that if I get a hold of the plastic protector for the 18 inch thinner metal bands that are not released yet
?
anyone who bought it and can answer?
We will once we receive them... Dec 5 was the availability date at the time of ordering, and that was the first hour they were posted on Moto's site.
Sent from Note 3
edit
Wait can the protector be brought separate or its only for the newer models?
Yes the plastic protectors are included with the official metal bands. I just picked up the band replacement kit during lunch today at my local best buy.
Cool... Not sold separately?
Not from what I have seen.. They do make the fit of the new metal band to be very snug against the watch itself.
I bought one of the Kriesler bands. They do NOT come with the plastic piece. Shame. They do look great however. If you have very large hands like mine, I only had to take out one link to let it get over my hand.
I can confirm that the OEM metal bands come with the plastic spacers, same as the metal band Moto 360's
Just had an online chat with Motorola support. I'll give an update about buying the spacer separately, when they get back to me.

Just a heads up - if you're looking to use them with non-Moto bands, I'm not sure it's going to work.
The Moto bands slide into two slots on the plastic connectors for a snug fit. Other bands are solid all the way across - if you were to take off their connector, the links would have to be the same size as the Moto bands.

I know the Pebble Steel metal band fits on the moto 360( it has the right fitting, its not full), but can someone tell me the spacer for the original metal band fits the pebble steel one? Or has someone found a way to get an other spacer?

The Pebble Steel Band does not fit in the plastic spacer provided with the Official Motorola Metal band.
I have a replacement watch arriving today, which will require me to move the official metal band from one watch to the other and I will take a photo to show you all what I am talking about.
Just ordered the official metal band from Motorola site today. Does anyone know if the included plastic spacers will prevent the back of the watch from cracking? I have read of so many people who have cracked the back of there 360 even with the stock leather bands. Can someone who has already gotten the metal bands from Motorola confirm that the spacers relieve the pressure against the back of the watch.

They do.
There has been one photo showing the plastic spacer breaking from the stress, but I've had mine for a week and the spacer is fine. It's been too small a sample size to say the back won't crack but just a few days in I'm feeling much better about it.
The watch is much heavier now, though.

Thanks for the info, so the band is definitely a higher quality then say the pebble steel bands?

Definitely. Both in looks (it's thicker and shinier with a color that is the same as the 360) and material weight. It's heavier than the Pebble Band.
I know a number of people will say that they can get the same thing for less, but if you've purchased watch bands before, you'll find this one to be of a solid quality.
Whether or not it's worth $80 will be up to each individual, but for me it's worth it if it stops the back from cracking because of the spacer..

Here are some photos to show you what I'm talking about. That spacer seems to be tailor made for the Moto band in how it slots in:
Had the leather band, and there were no cracks when i swapped to the Motorola metal band. 1 week later and there's a tiny crack starting in the corner. I'm going to just live with it and see how much it grows.
Just wanted to let people know that after the clasp on my watch band broke and not really willing to pay $89 for a lime green replacement, I took a shot with a company called Shapeways that was offering a 3D printed housing that was compatible with a 20mm watch band.
I've been using it a few days so far and I'm really happy with it. The housing was $18.99 with shipping and I got a silicone rubber band for less than $10. The housing takes about a week to make before it ships and the one I got was flat black and looks good.
All in all, a good replacement and $60 ahead without having to go acid green.
Here is a link http://www.shapeways.com/product/XP...oJE_1sU8OG3f1xZ8hoCHgvw_wcB&optionId=58575197
Thanks for the info mate but where can I choose the silicone rubber band?
Any standard 20mm watchband will work. Go to a watchstore an buy a watchband there or get it from some online store like Amazon.
This is the one Igot from Amazon. Link: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B017TDWDSM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
Would you mind sharing some photos of the watch in the housing? I have been interesting for awhile but unwilling to pull the trigger without seeing the SW3 in the adapter. Thanks

Here's a quick photo of the black matt housing.
I bought original Sony wrist strap adapter for 35$ and attached the old watchband black metal from my SmartWatch 2 ...

Is another good solution. Is possible to use any 24mm watchband
in 'accessories' there is more on these topics

Hi there,
I think I have bad news for us. Last week the metall wristband of my SW3 was broken, I sent it to our german Sony Support Center (the third time now, they replaced it two times), yesterday I got the old broken wristband back, with a comment that Sony has completely removed the spare part supply for the SW3.
Looks like the SW3 is dead .

Judging by the price here in the UK @ £79, and the lack of stock at major retailers, I have to agree.
That's bad when you consider they may have to support it for about 5-6 years in the UK AFAIK due to consumer laws.
Yes, its bad news for you and all us people .
same thing happened to my but it was my OG silicone strap, so i got a 3D printed case from shapeways for £18 and got a 24mm leather band from ebay for £2. Its been 2 weeks and ive been using that and imo looks better then before. You could also get a 24mm metal band if thats what you prefer.
Confirm!!

I can say this 3D printed case work fine. I have used it 24/7 for a month now. You can also order it in polished metal colour, although I have no idea how plastic can look like metal. I ordered a black one, polished it by myself with sand paper and use it with silicone and black steel straps. This works well for me.
Just a suggestion: if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for discount or free shipping offers.
my screen got broke, placed two orders with MaxBhi, both got cancelled, now money is stuck as they are unable to refund. Anyways, I am still looking for a screen if available. Please let me know...
