Does anyone know where I can purchase the plastic belt clip that you get with the XDAII Wallet? This has broken twice now and having to pay £20 for both the clip and wallet is a bit expensive.
I have looked on the net but can't seem to find one.
Thanks
I 'phoned the O2 Accessories number and they put me on to Proporta. I 'phoned these and they said they will send out a replacement.
I await with baited breath.

which is the best case to buy for compact size , protection , style and useability in regards to the capability for the belt clip. i have seen the aluminium and plastic one . how does the belt cilp work with that also can you get them in funnky anodised colours.
cheers
Don't know about funky colours but the leather Krussel case is excellent.
O2 standard Xda II case
On the subject of cases, anyone know if it's possible to get a spare belt clip for the standard O2 Xda II case? A tiny bit broke off mine after 1 month and it is now useless as the PDA falls off it.
Neither my local O2 shop nor the UK Xda II Service Centre can supply a replacement belt clip on its own - they want to hit me for £20 for a new case. If I do have to buy one, it won't be from them, that's for sure...

Why bother? Just get the Krussel, it's a much better case and way cheaper.
The Alu cases have a screw-in peg on the rear of the case which the belt clip locks onto. Others using the Alu cases have suggested glueing the post in place to prevent it unscrewing during normal wear.
The Alu cases also reduce the signal strength in weaker areas. I purchased the ProPorta model and only used it for two weeks before going back to the standard O2 case.
I am now the very happy owner of a ProPorta Crystal Case. It is very lightweight, adds almost no bulk and looks great.
Unfortunately it does not support a belt clip although I see no reason why you couldn't fabricate something yourself if you were so inclined.
I just got the clear case, its very sexy, wish it had a belt clip but you cant have everyting, there is a thread about the clear case with pics, it's like the alu case but that looses signal strength apparently, although does have sd card holders if i remember correctly and this doesn't...

its nice cos u can make and receive calls without the threat of the xda2's slippery surface sliding thru your hands... which is why i used to keep it in my standard case so much... i just got mine from pdamods.com for £15
the standard case offers little protection to the lower sides of the xda2 (not that i have scratches on mine as a result but some people moan of it) but there is a reason, basically it's so you can sit it in the docking cradle without taking it out the case...
moving on, I'm getting this silicon job that pdamods want £20 for, from ebay at only a £10 :lol: this seller has them for sale all the time - here is an example auction with picture http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5115014427&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT
it doesnt have a belt clip but has a loop by the looks for carry strap / neck strap type effort
Clips
I use cases utilziing the Ulti-Clip from http://www.theclip.com/.
My leather case from HandheldPlanet.com has one.
They are very solid clips. I used a stick-on post on my aluminum case -I took off the screw-in post. Now all my phones/gadgets have the same clip.
Is anybody making a leather case that does NOT have a snap closure, similar to the EB Case for the original XDA? The Krussel is nice, but that strap/snap closure is annoying and slow to use.
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.

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 got my replacement XDAIIi phone from O2 insurance because mine kept on falling off my belt or the belt clip kept on releasing the phone and so it would drop and get damaged.
Well my new one, although the case and clip are both new, still fell off my belt again today, fortuneatly it did not get damaged.
Can you tell me where to start looking for a better XDAII case and belt clips please?
i use this one i like it

i love these Krusell orbit case as I can clip it to my pants/belt, just turn it on briefly to check for time without taking it out of my belt or answer without flipping a cover; and it's soft leather and you can see the screen as some has a cover over it; as compared to the bodyglove one which does have a case (but it's hard); also some leather ones on ebay but has no clips; anyway, anyone found a krusell case for the g2x? i searched their site but no luck, so probably not, but just thought I asked.
thanks.
If anyone is interested, BoxWave just sent me a discount coupon "ACTIVE10" for their case and holster clip. Have no idea if the case or clip are any good, but the Olo (Case Mate) Tough Xtreme case I have is very bulky so hard to carry in anything less than a backpack, so I decide to order this case because of the holster. It's obviously not nearly as protective as the Tough Xtreme but will do for less hazardous adventures where more protection is called for, then my Neo Hybrid.
It's listed on Amazon at: BoxWave Active. You apply the coupon on check out.
Just a note, I've bought stuff from BoxWave for years (a lot when I was still in my Windows Mobile stage), and their stuff is usually good quality, so I'm willing to give this a chance for $13 ($10 + $3 s&h).
Edit: BTW... Just checking their site to see what else they have, haven't been there in a while, and forgot that they also have a 30 day money-back guarantee.
Link goes to the Iphone5 case, i cannot find one for the S4 using the search either
