I was on a plane this morning and as I walked down the aisle I saw someone reading a magazine with an ad for the perfect XDA II case. Unfortunately, I must have read the URL wrong. I thought it was "sanocases.com" but that doesn't work, nor a couple of similar things I tried.
Does that name ring a bell with anyone? It's a case much like the EB case for the XDA I, which doesn't have the annoying snap strap on it.
I have a vague memory of a screen protector sold under the "Sando" brand name but cant find anything on google.

Maybe JavoCase ?
Look here http://www.javoedge.com

Thanks guys, but no dice. The Javo is interesting though, I might just get one to test drive. Similar to the protection of the aluminum case (which I mostly love) except without the signal interference problem.
how about www.senacases.com?
Unfortunately, I don't see a XDA II case by them - or at least, not on their website.
I think that's it! But I could have sworn it was an XDA II that was in the ad photo. Damn, my eyes must have been really bad that early in the morning.
Founding the right case for me wasn't difficult.
I just take the ones that cames with the XDAII and cut off the flap.
No regrets
Since you seem to be looking for something protective and not limiting radio reception, have a look at the Proporta Clearcase (name doesnt sound like "sano" . . . )
www.proporta.com
Case is excellent, because its 'plastic' (durable though) it will get scratches, but that what its for.
Finaly see who is calling without opening the case
Only need to open it is to write on it.
I think the case (when closed) is stable enough to protect the XDA2 (or MDAII, although tha case was designed for the plain XDA2/iMate case, the T-Mobile case fits too with all button available without opeing clearcase), but I did not dare to test a drop from the table . . .
I just ordered the Javo clear case, which seems the same. I agree that it seems ideal, as I love the protection of the metal case but not the slight signal degradation.
Javo clearcase IS the same as proporta Clearcase.
Shipping is cheaper with Proporta (at least in Europe)
I have one of the plastic cases and I love it. I've had it about a month now and the case has a minor scratch on it, well, more a chunk from my keys. Well worth it
Thank's for the link's , do any of you guy's know where i could find a case for the xda 2 which is deep enough to take a backpack as well . cheers steve
I have a Krussel drop-in case which would probably work with the backpack. I use that now because I use the car kit, so an attached case doesn't make sense.
I have buyed all cases available for my Qtek2020.
Silicon case, no good for me, after 1 week is broken and the screen is not protected.
Metal case, the door is uncomfortable, and for me is not good when the phone receive the call because i open the door, is very strong.
Case in policarbonete clear, very best solution, very strong and comfortable, I prefere this one.
if the screen were not protected then you were not using this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20484
but it will break if you take it out of the case too often which is why i dont use the cradle anymore
there are many many many cases and i doubt you tried them all ....
my poly cased died after a drop
and it was troublesome to open compared to the silicone i use now
silicon == melted sand you make chips from
silicone == rubber
I found this one http://www.cases.com/xda2.htm last days but I am still looking for one than I can use with the backpack.
See you
The best case ever!!!!
Finally I found it!!!!

Here's some pics of the kickstand case. mcp2009 also has a video of it in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8445306&postcount=27
i think this case looks pretty nice, surprisingly. i was expecting it to be bulky but it really isnt. the kickstand function is neat.
UPDATE: Don't be like many of us, and forget to remove the "MADE IN CHINA" sticker on the back cover.
UPDATE 2: I purchased the cheapo Lux brand black rubber-like case from amazon and this black case is significantly thinner than the clear kickstand case, in case you are wondering.
Lol yay someone mentioned me in a post I feel special. Haha, but yea man the case is great and the kickstand works very well. I like how it's not a cheap clip that turns and makes the phone stand up if you lean it.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
Although I'd much rather have a full, clear Zagg shield that doesn't make the phone any thicker at all, I do like the kickstand. Would make viewing videos at work much easier.
How well does this hold on there? If I dropped it (which I try to avoid), would it pop off and allow the phone to be scratched or do you think it would survive a drop?
its stuck on the phone pretty good in the back. it took me some effort to remove it when I realized I forgot to take the made in china sticker off.

Yep, being sexy is a double-edged sword. I want to keep it naked, but at the same time I don't want it to get a scratch
yeps just got this case the other day i love it. but yes i have to admit it is pretty difficult to remove. hey btw does this kickstand supposed to lock in place when its out? because i can lock it but im not sure if thats wat its supposed to do or im just pushing it past what its supposed to lol

oh, i never even notice that it can "lock" there. looks like that's a feature though i never brought it that far.
and... yes. the phone is sexy. i want to not use a case too but my G1, caseless, looked beat up so badly after much use. my nexus with a gel case looked pristine when i sold it last week.

Haha! First, I didn't realize it had a kickstand. My girlfriend picked up the case, but I declined. She isn't aware of the kickstand either Second, I did the exact same thing as you, minotauri... forgot to take the sticker off the inside for her!
And yes, it is VERY difficult to remove the case. It's on there good.

Great Case!
I did the same thing....left the back sticker on...but wasn't that bad removing the case though.
Its attractive and the hard case will protect the phone better than the "skins" if dropped. The kickstand is a definite added plus
That and the Zagg screen protector...a great combination!
I purchased this case yesterday along with the g2 screen protectors, and the tmobile guy semi warped my phone while trying to remove the case because that damn sticker was left on there when he put it on. Its barely noticeable but I can tell. When the phone is completely closed, the left side wiggles (not the term I am looking for) ever so slightly. But it did not do that before. Wtf.

LOL - I'm glad many of you also left the sticker on and it wasn't juts me being stupid. I guess we're all too excited to keep our new toy protected to remove all the packaging. I'll edit the 1st post to tell people to remove it hehe.
That's too bad about your phone. mine doesn't wiggle... maybe you can get an exchange from the same guy who broke it?
How does this case handle the heat when it's being used?
I'm using the slip case that came with my N1. The G2 just barely fits, but its nice and snug but not too hard to remove. As the case stretches a bit, it will become easier to insert and remove.
That case has already saved my nexus from certain disfigurement. I'm glad it will continue to serve me.

What widget are you using for your clock?? I like it!
I also have this case, i like it.
QUESTION for those that have it. My phone froze and i had to do a battery pull...
THIS CASE IS A ***** TO REMOVE, or is it just me? The back part of the case that clips onto the bottom took me forever to remove safely, i hurt my fingers .
UPDATE
I actually found a silicone case on ebay. Its not how I wanted it to be but its still cool. Its a 2 piece and come in different colors. Something cool to mention is that it goes on top of the key board. I like the black and white ones the most
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A hard or silicone case that wraps/hugs the phone. For people like me that don't use the keyboard. So once you have the case you cant open it to use the keyboard. I hate letting people use my phone and they either play with the keyboard and messes up my hinge and etc. I have a case already (clear case with kickstand) but i want a case where it just wraps the whole phone so no one can flip out the keyboard.
Who thinks this is a good idea?
is it already made and I just dont know?
I think it's a pretty good idea.
i explained to my girlfriend how i thought the hinge was flimsy and i was worried about it breaking in the future. yet she still has to slide they keyboard numerous times a day, HARD. REALLY starting to piss me off. Friends do it too... it just needs a gentle push.. jesus

The one piece silicone cases are much better then the garbage protection we have now.
I DO use rubberbands already. Do any of you still have the bands that came on the usb and headphones in the retail box? I just have one wrapped around the trackpad. It works just fine for me and the black matches my case. Still slides out of my pocket just as easily as it did before, with the gel tmo case that is.
Saves my battery, my hinge, my keyboard, and gave me a reason to flash the amazing gingerbread multitouch keyboard sweetness of doom.

Then why didn't you just get a MyTouch 4G instead? If you never use the hardware keyboard, then it is just added weight and bulk. The MyTouch 4G trades a hardware keyboard for a front camera, more RAM, faster CPU, etc.

My girlfriend got a free G2 from the tmobile loyalty program several weeks back, and she's been wanting a case like this, as she never uses the physical keyboard. I don't think it's too ludicrous of a request. If it's between a free phone that happens to have a QWERTY and one that costs $120-200, I think it's relatively a no brainer.
I'm thinking of telling her to try this case: http://www.wirelessground.com/t-mobile-g2-aluminum-black-case.html. I just hope it doesn't add too much bulk.
I so want a case like the one described above. it would be one step closer to having a Desire HD
I felt the same way, initially, but have grown rather fond of being able to see the entire screen while I type. Not so sure I'd give that up now.

From the picture it looks like a solid one-piece, but then how would you get the phone in there?
"The lock on the side holds the top and bottom of the case tightly together and prevents the case from accidentally opening"
It seems that it's some kind of lock, so that would mean it's openable, but don't hold me to that
*Edit*: http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Silver-Open-Screen-Design.html
Thats the silver one, there you can see the long mechanism a bit better, so from the looks of it, you can still open it.
Ohh I didn't see that shot great gonna order one

Could you let us/me know how it is? It looks rather interesting
Definitely looking forward to an XDA member's review on this with better pics!
Once I get it pics and review will be up i really just want something easier to take on an off then the ones that tmobile has cause I use a case for work which is painting, and the tmobile cases felt like i would screw the phone up taking them on and off alot.
I am very interested in this case as well and will probably order. I found a different seller on eBay selling this case, link below. It includes more pictures as well.

Well a lot of people around here are looking for that. Something to lock the keyboard in place during normal day to day use. That way it isn't opening in your pocket and stuff like that.

Yea that works out for them but it means im still on the hunt >>
I agree in theory you shouldn't have to need this case. But if you are like me, my phone hinge is loose and it feels wobbly to even text. So if this case can hold the goods together securely then it looks like its worth it.
Just ordered one. Let's see if its better then the otterbox.

Looks sturdy. The added bulk keeps me away though.
I agree, I am worried about the excess bulkiness. Looks like a brick! All my friends have iPhone 4's so I dont want to pull out something looking a decade old! However pics and youtube videos can be deceiving. The G2 is a beautiful phone and doesnt seem to show scratches easy. I too have the loose hinge and like I said in a previous post, scotch tape on the sides is the best answer!

Agreed. I always find myself buying cases for all of my devices. 2 weeks later i end up ditching them going back to naked. right now i just have the stealthguards full body protector on which is excellent even for 10$. I, for one, hate the g2's keyboard, however, its one of the best ones out thus far. (if that makes any sense)
Anybody who ordered this case received it yet? Ordered mine on the 17th and still hasn't arrived....

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a TPU-style case for my HP Touchpad. Everywhere I look, the cases all have the front flap to protect the screen. This just seems to be a gigantic pain in the ass that I don't want to deal with.
Anyways, I have a rubber case for my EVO 3D. It's actually this Rocketfish case from Best Buy: http://goo.gl/oDOiG
Is there anything available like this for the TouchPad? I've been Googling and searching forums for forever and can't find one remotely close. Silicone cases are too stretchy and aren't glossy on the outside. This one has a rubber feel to it and is glossy, so it doesn't stick to everything.
Thanks for the help!
I've looked everywhere I could think of any haven't turned anything up. I've been using TPU cases on all my devices and prefer them over anything else so wanted the same for the TP. They don't seem very common for devices of this size to begin with though. Maybe an enterprising XDAr will step up. In the meantime I'm using the HP case which isn't bad at all.
given some time I'm sure they'll show....bear in mind this has only just become the most desired commodity....so the vendors need a sample to dish out the cases
this is what I'm after too really. Appears to be a real lack of anything decent in the UK at the moment Hopefully there'll be more released soon!
This might do, it's not exactly what you're looking for though.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Leath...K_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item415cc817ba
The front piece that you can see rotated pops off so you can leave the back/front flap sections behind and still securely hold the pad in the case.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245482
I've only seen a few rocketfish products so far and so far they seem like overpriced crap. Haven't seen they're cases though, how is it and how much was it?
I actually didn't want the HP case and my mother talked me into it. I'm so glad she did. The flap doubles as a stand, and two positions, one angled for typing easier and one standing up so you can watch stuff easier. Totally worth it imo.
I'm actually thinking about funding another HP case and just slicing off the flap and putting a screen protector in...would do for the near term. Honestly I haven't yet found a situation in a week and a half where the stand part was useful.

Really? At least for me I found that the lower position with the HP case is a perfect viewing angle for when I have the Touchpad in my lap. It also makes it much easier to type.

I tend to either sit with my knees up (I have a knee injury and until surgery in October I have my lt knee up a lot) or I hold the TP with both hands and type with my thumbs...in either case I have no use for the flap.
Unfortunately I tried yesterday to find another case but couldn't - did find more Touchstones but one of those is enough for me.
