I've got two brand new nutshell cases ( http://www.nutshell.cc/ ) for the XDAII
I ordered them up, but by the time they had arrived i sold the XDA
So one is a black leather pouch design with no belt loop (the best in my opinion) From nutshell its £32 i'll do it for £25 inc delivery (to the UK)
the second is Black leather with a tab top and belt loop. This one is cheaper at £27 from nutshell, but i'll do it for £20inc delivery (to the UK).
If anyone wants one, email me at [email protected] and we can sort something out
Cheers

I just broke my second belt clip on original/replacement T-mobile leather case.
I was unable to find replacement belt clip fo these cases on our market (Czech Republic), and I am sick of buying another leather case for 20 euros. :evil:
Does anybody know if there is retailer offering replacement belt clips for original MDAII leather case? I would probably buy dozen of these...
We sell replacements for that 'Jump Clip', but I'll warn you beforehand that the entire design of that clip is terrible. We did NOT make these these clips, but we bought them only to serve those customers who wanted to replace their Moto FRS 2-way radio clips, which are the same clip. The difference is that FRS radios are very inexpensive and your PDA is not. Therefore I first suggest you look into a better case before your PDA is lost or seriously damaged due to that bad clip design.
Check out our 'Partner Links' page at:
http://www.theclip.com/store/customer/pages.php?pageid=11
And remember, no matter how nice the case looks, it's only good as long as the belt clip holds it.
As he said, that clip (and the case) are absolutely horrible.
If you really want one, I'll send you mine for the cost of shipping, which I believe is $9. It has not, and will not ever be used.
Just received my new Krusell leather case today. Don't know why I bothered with the silly included one or purchased a Belkin which stunk - although the box said XDA 2 it was really only made for the XDA. The XDA 2 fitted but to get access to the phone buttons and headphone jack and volume, slider and camera I had to get a leather shop to make some small alterations.
But because there was nothing holding it in at the top it after the case leather loosened up a bit the entire XDA 2 slipped out and made contact with the road. Took out an unsightly chunk.
The Krusell case fits perfectly - no mods necessary, offers excellent protection (already dropped it and no damage) and has lots of little holders for notes, plastic and SD cards (x2). And it looks very stylish too. See their website.
By the way Belkin Oz still haven't replied to any of my complaints - absolutely useless product and customer service.
Does the Krussell have that annoying snap closure like most of the others? I wish EB would make a magnetic case for the II...
I can vouch for the Krusell range, I use a Classic Multidapt with my XDAII and it's superb, excellent fit, you can use the touch screen through the protective cover and they have even fitted a velcro flap to the rear so you can access the camera whilst it's in its case.
anyone know the best place to get one of these cases in the UK?
Strangely eBay is the best and cheapest source, there are a number of dealers elling them at competitive prices, see here.
I've bought from PDA Addons and Fonejunkie_Dot_Com before on eBay with no problems and speedy delivery.
as ever. a wealth of knowledge. cheers Griffog.
The velcro release to help the XDA swing away from the case to use the camera is a bit awkward but nonetheless a very welcome feature compared to other cases. i just gor really tired of carrying a wallet and my PDA. Came close to leaving one of them behind at the pub or cafe because my mind was elsewhere.
They have a PDA Addons in Oz too. They weren't terribly helpful. They just said that they didn't stock the product in Oz but that I could order it from their UK business. After completing the math to convert our exchange rate for delivery, post and pack and of course some import duty it would have cost me almost twice what I eventually bought it for.
I emailed the Managing Director of Krusell direct to ask for a Distributor in Oz and he said I could contact Beyond Holdings www.beyond-holdings.com They ordered it after I sent them an email and a week later it arrived on my doorstep for the princely sum of A$56 (delivered).
I was so impressed I went to my local Telstra corporate dealer in Perth and they will be ordering several for stock. They've sold a few dozen XDA 2's in the last couple of months. Suddenly become very popular here!! (Communications Plus is my dealer)
I wonder if any one has this case and what is the general impression about it,I am considering it or the Noreve but prefer the Krusell because iy has a place for Business/Credit cards.
I first bought Krusell Orbit Flex case. The leather and the design are good, but the sewing is not good enough that the window of screen and the window of the hardware button are not parallel. Then I bought Noreve case. Leather, cutout, sewing, knob and belt clip are all good. Both Krusell and Noreve are tightly fit Touch Diamond with a bit pressure to pull the device into the case hole. The window cut out for Krusell is not good enough than the Noreve. I like the belt knob of Noreve since it is metal made and can be completely removed with the supplied screwdriver and cap. The belt clip of Noreve is also better than Krusell but there are a wider choice of Krusell clip to exchange. Overall I prefer Noreve than Krusell.

I ordered one of these earlier today - I've paid for Saturday delivery - not convinced they were really in stock but hoping as I havent recieved a dispatch notification. I'll update in the morning if it arrives and confirm the Krusell model number although its the only "orbit" one I can find???
***UPDATE*** Case arrived this morning from MobileFun and YES its the Krusell 75365 with the removable front.
http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2994&category=76
The quality is just as you'd expect from Krusell - excellent. They've even added some detailing on the back that matches the "daimond" shaping from the battery cover. I'm very pleased.

I've been using the case for a few weeks now and I'm really pleased with it. I do preffer the Diamond "naked" but when travelling and at work this case is ideal?
.
thanks for the replys and I am actually considering either Krussel or Noreva but Krusell has a business card pocket which I like and used a lot with my Kaiser.
finally! my favorite site, deal extreme has started stocking on htc diamond accessories
just ordered the silicone cases (looking at price, i just ordered both ):

Screen shield
There was one screen shield in the package, why buy a new one?
its two piece (with bottom) whereas original was just for the screen
and for those who messed up when installing the original one (like my friend)
and finally, for those blind lot who jumped on the diamond without bothering what was in the box and ordered all accessories on ebay and online (like me!!)
I'm having trouble locating a belt holster for the idol 3. I found 1 seller on ebay and for whatever reason I can't purchase from that seller so can someone recommend some other phones that are similar in size where their holster might work with the idol 3 (preferably with the cheap ebay transparent TPU case).
Thanks for your time!
I've heard comparisons with the iPhone6+. Might wants to check the device specs to be sure though. Any local cellphone store or Best Buy should be able to help you. Or you can just eyeball the phone case rack to see what is nearby to your idol 3 size and then go to eBay
Thanks..the phone is arriving tomorrow so I'll be able to actually test fit etc then. I was trying to collect screen protector's, case and belt holster ahead of time but they shipped it "faster" than expected...they took their time shipping it but then shipped it next day delivery.

Just a followup that it looks like the iphone 6 plus as well as the alcatel onenote one have similar footprints so their cases should allow both the phone and a case without issue...I picked up one from each phone type. There are also some "hard cases" on ebay now.

I actually just got the Idol 3 myself a couple of days ago. Anyway, regarding the holster question you can find some options here (some of the results that aren't for the Idol 3, others don't have a belt clip):
In Amazon search for "Alcatel onetouch idol 3 holster 5.5 belt"
Two types of holsters are being offered there by different merchants:
- leather pouch holster that can either be horizontally or vertically oriented
- armor style cases that have a belt clip that can swivel and have a built-in kickstand
I'm personally considering the second option. The thing that bothers me, though, is that many of those merchants take up to 3 weeks or more for delivery, which make me suspect they are some Chinese distributors!
Regarding the comparisons to the iPhone 6, it is no coincidence that Alcatel choose 4.7" and 5.5" screens sizes to compete directly with Apple, in those terms.
So did decide on any one of them? I have tried to look outside of Amazon with no luck whatsoever.

They are much cheaper on ebay....around $3-7 vs 12+ on amazon. I went with these:
US Seller using Iphone 6 plus as model: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281679642723
US $3.51
US Seller using Oneplus 1+ as model: http://www.ebay.com/itm/391102343482 (dimensions of case was identical for it and iphone 6 plus so went with the alcatel) US $6.95
Hong Kong: I tossed this in for good measure... http://www.ebay.com/itm/311369840681 [ Hard Matte Snap-On Cover Case For Alcatel Idol 3 5.5 Inch ]
US $2.59
Reply to Amazon Belt Holster options for Idol 3
Yes, they tend to be cheaper @eBay, but there aren't any specific ones for the Alcatel Idol 3 there yet. I'm concerned that the cutout for the buttons and connector won't be the right ones for it, especially given the relatively odd placement of the power button, which I have actually become used to.
Amazon does have them since they seem to be the only place other than Ebay where you can get the smartphone for now. Same thing for other accessories for it. Given that I got the Idol 3 for $199.99 shipped, I think I'd rather pay a bit more and get the case I want for it. Even I have to have wait for it a bit longer ... I'm probably going with the red or blue Blue Aurora holster case. Unless I see something better before they become available.
