So far I have seen the Vaja case, which is only in black leather available and has no hole for the camera. Then there's the Piel Frama case in several styles and colours and with a hole and with a nice, removable belt clip. Pretty pricy though, both Piel and Vaja are around € 60,00 which is heavy.
And there is the Proporta alu case, pretty looking and nicely priced at about € 35 but I don't like alu cases because the lit is always in the way.
Pretty poor collection, so far....... I am considering the Piel case but I think if I wait a bit maybe there will be other, better priced cases on the market. I know we had a big discussion about the "ideal" case for an XDA a while ago here but I don't think a perfect case for the XDA has ever been made.
Now the makers are starting all over again with the same conventional designs. I wonder if they have learnt anything from the former discussions here.
Anyhow, before my rant becomes too much of a drag, I just wondered what you are using at the moment for your XDAII (Or Qtek 2020/MDAII/Imate). :?: I am using the stock case as long as I havn't bought a better alternative.
I'm using the provided case for my brand new xda II (it was delivered yesterday and I pleased as punch with it!!!). That's only until the Piel case I ordered last night arrives. I really hate the case that came with the xda II. It looks cheap, doesn't fit it very well and is a real struggle to get the flap closed without pressing any of the buttons!!! Not to mention the lack of credit card slots!

heard people speak highly about these alu cases
Go to ebcases.com and request them make a case for the phone. I really like the case they have for the XDA and would love to get them to modify it just a bit for the XDA II. Maybe if enough of us request it.
I've bought the proporta one,
Looks very pretty,
Not heavy,
It has a removable belt clip.
All the buttons are accessible except those for calendar and contact.
SD slots are well designed, inserting and ejection are very easy.

Got myself the Proporta case, looks smart and is slim. Cost a litlle more then € 35. I payed about € 50 incl Tax and shipping. ( tot the Netherlands)
I'm waiting for the Vaja I-Volution case ; I had one for my XDA I , fantastic indeed, and want one for my XDA II

Indeed, a great case! I had one for my xda too........bit expensive though at 115 dollars.
The second setback of the I-volution is that, if you are using the xda as a phone it looks like you are talking into a big, leather, black shoe with the hard fliptop standing upright. :shock:

Well, converted in Euro's that's € 60,00 incl int.shipping with UPS. I received mine only 2 days after ordering. It's expensive, but it's a damn fine quality case.......had one before on my xda as well.
goztreh or JJJ have you noticed any difference in siganal quality for calls or with blue tooth with the Proporte ALU case??
I am very interested in this case but read somewhere that it can affect reception, and was wodering if either of you noticed any problem with this.
Currently use the standard leather case, and after a while it start looking a bit cheap, as you constantly have to take it out for charging.
And i have noticed that it is not so much secure in the case as it was new.
I am also looking to upgrade to the proporta case. but like others a bit worry about the lost signal strenght and the inherrent battary use
So please let us have your opinion
Is it my eyes or is there a big hole in that XDA2 as shown on the propota website where the contacts button should be
look here for the new proporta case, very cheap too.

Hi guys,
What I read is that the Alu case realy reduces the signal strength and that is a very bad thing. My problem now is that I think the alu case ads less bulk but the phone strength is too important for me. I came across the Active Armor case and that realy looks interesting. Here is a review for a 2210 because there is no case (yet) for the MDA II. http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/activearmor-hp2200-review.html
I sent them a message to ask if they have planned a case for the MDA II in the feature and as soon as I get a reply, I'll post it here. I think it looks like a good sollution: very well protected and not too big. But I think they have to change the flip cover otherwise you can't hear your speaker...
Wouter
Why does nobody mention Krusell ?
http://www.krusell.se/handit.asp
it's there for the MDA/XDA II also !
Hi Johan,
Which one will fit the MDA II. I can't tell for sure on their site.
Wouter
I've never used any cases and keep my PPC in my pants pocket, but I really like the protection cases provide, as well as integrating my Wallet into it.
This may sound stupid, but how do you use the cradle with the case on? Or do you just charge with a USB Cable? If you use the cradle, do you have to take it off everytime you sync? I take my device in and out of the cradle 10-20 times a day, so I would love to have a case that works with the cradle.
Thanks.
Hi!
I am looking for an aluminium case for my XDAII and I wonder if there is any difference between these two models from Proporta and Innopocket:
http://www.proporta.com/detail.asp?id=624
http://www.innopocket.com/EShop/Main/product.php?ID=102&name=Others
They look exactly the same.
Which one is to be preferred?
Thanks alot
Dominik
its the same one....pretty sure, but I must warn you that you will notice a significant loss of signal strength when using it in areas that are already weak. I have been using it for 6 weeks now, love it, but gives me problems.....
I have it to
Yes you have signal loss, but i wouldn´t say significant. I also looked at both cases, and couldn´t tell if they were different, so i bought the proporta one.
I am very happy with it
The Innopocket case allows you to use a WiFi SD card while the XDAII is enclosed.
The Innopocket case was cheaper....
And the signal loss is not that bad. Love the case!

Innopocket
Hi!
Ok, thank you. I will go with the Innopocket then.
Best regards
Dominik

Is it? I don't think so!!
Proporta metal case
I have this one and I'm full satisfy. I use it more than the leather one.
do any metal cases have a belt clip?
Proporta offer it as extre
I order an Alu case today over HERE.
This case has an opening so you can see who is calling without opening the case, and you can accept calls without opening the case. It also includes a belt clip. Plus for 22,49 euros is not expansive at all :lol:
I hope its monday soon, than I'll get this case delivered at my house... mmm
8)
to VW_ELM in regrads to the ALU case with Caller window
Could you please let us know if reception will go down with using this case?
Thank you.
I can believe that somebody finally decided to do ALU case with window on conveyer level
@ noviur
Sure, I'll post some experience as soon as I got the case... :wink:
Yesterday I posted a question to see if someone has allready some experience with this case. And it seems there is someone who allready do. If you can't wait till monday, you might ask to this guy. His nick is escape.
See this LINK to my other post
thank you...
the most important for me is the receiption aspect....
will wait for your review
@ noviur
i received my case this morning.
I really loves this case.
I made some pictures and e sort of mini review for people who are interested. But I don't have any webspace to upload it.
If someone is interested in uploading it for me, I can email it to him/her.
how is the resceiption? are you loosing any bars comparably to using i-mate without case?
The receiption is perfect. I have a picture where you can see my signal strenght trought the window, it was 91%... pretty good, no?
Sounds good . . . but what is it OUTSIDE the case at the same location? Comparisons at other locations?
Euh what you mean?? I don't understand sorry for my bad English
I have pictures if you like, if someone wants to post/host them I'll send it.
What BRosenow asked is the same what I asked earlier
You mentioned that reception is 91% IN the case. What would be reception at the same place WITHOUT the case?
Really appreciate your patients
Hallo, see bellow:

If this case is also sutiable for HTC P5500 (Kaiser), then it would be way too big for HTC Diamond. Are you sure that you gto yourself a right product?
If you after aftermarket case, then you would be better of case for HTC StarTrek. Perfect fit.
you can pick one of those for 2-3 dollars on eBay. here is an example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/For-HTC-3125-8500-Smartflip-Slim-Phone-Skin-Case-Pouch_W0QQitemZ160254367860
any qtek 8500, imate smartflip, T-Mo 3125 compatible pouch should fit right the Diamond. There are heaps of them on Ebay.
I also have it. It fits, but the case is to big for the diamond.

then it does NOT fit!
I am using this case (PO-S322) it is not the same as the one for the caiser,I think it is made for the Touch Dual and it does fit very well as if it is made for the device since the dimensions of the Diamond and the Touch are similar.
Yes indeed, it fits good. im using it for like 3 weeks now and im very pleased with it, i also have my diamond in a crystal case and then put in the S322
Hallo,
i bekomme today my case... it is fantastic.... i love it and it fits very good.

Looking

I just got a CMDA Touch Diamond and it came with the Leather Velcro case. I’m willing to trade with some for the HTC Touch Diamond Pouch PO S390.
Below is the link to see how the velcro case looks like.

Yes, 3000 mAh: http://www.mugenpowerbatteries.com/; taking pre-order now.. Main concern lies in the added thickness and the possible interference with GPS (though the website claims no interference)
Won't this give less network? Cause acording the manual the antenne is located in the area in the middle of the lens, I have now the 200mAh and just bought it cause it was cheap at DealExtreme to pull 100 bucks out of your pocket you must be shore thats not giving problems.

Yeap its 3000 and its more than 100 since VAT and delivery is not incl... but i am no rich guy , of cos i will wait for certain brave soul to try it out 1st before i part with my $$
but then whether its 3000, 2000 or al cheapo 1800 battery, all cannot fit into the std leather casing and i have not been able to find any leather casing catered to the diamond with extended battery... hence what this thread is all abt.
anyone has yet to find a leather casing that fit a diamond with extended battery?

It was easier to just ask it here before buying it. Everybody could tell you that it wouldn't fit. Although the hardware specifications are the same, the model is totally different.
well i bought this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-TWIN-PACK...14&_trkparms=72:1683|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
and it seems to actually be a diamond case, but fits well tho
hope this helps

I believe he was talking about a back cover (housing) not a rubber cover.
Yes, obviously all cases will fit as it's got the same look but the back cover is completely different.
