XDA II Cases

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)

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:

I use it with a BT headset , so , no problem ...
On a mail , Cecilia , told me they were thinking of perhaps made an i-volution opening from top to bottom , as the case delivered with the xda2...not sure ... just have to wait .

The Piel Frama case is 90 yoyos. :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...

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.

But that`s preorder :S anyone know when it will be released (and what about craddle?)

Krussel has a nice case for the Diamond. Now a place where to it it because i really like this one..

I also like the Krusell case . Not sure I want to risk an invisibleshield after various stories about it removing the paint on the htc cruise.
If anyone finds a supplier in the uk for the Krusell case, please post.

Whery to buy in the UK: http://www.krusell.se/where2buy.php?s=3
One vote to Krusell:
- Horizon with Multidapt - Slim for dropping the phone to the case or
- Orbit Flex with Multidapt
I like the Multiadapt system, I have used it for years.

Mobilefun now have the Orbit Flex in stock, mine arrived yesterday

Also at smartphoneshop.nl
Grtz.

Yeh and it would be stupidly over-priced as well...i like their cases but cant justify spending that much money on one.

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.

https://pytom.ch/de_CH/f/htc-touch-diamond/mobile/simple/
I have just ordered this one. I had it for Tytn and Tytn 2 already and loved them. I even asked the guys if they could make one for my Digital Camera from Sony, and they custom made one which fits perfectly. So I had a stylish set for my Tytn 2 and my Sony Cybershot. Swiss top quality.
They speak english, even if the page is in German.

Ordered a Krusell case from mobilefun, cant seem to get hold of the HTC pouch so decided to order the krusell case as ive heard nothing but good things about them.

i like the original htc case most, i just want one where to carry my diamond in. when i use it, i want it naked!
i can get this one for 6,70€ because i have a job in the mobilephone-business, i think that's a great price, isn't it?

Mda Compact Iv Stuff

I can't seem to find any accessories specifically for this version of the diamond, no silicone or crystal cases, no in-car holders desk docks/cradles i'm having to make do with a diamond silicone case which doesnt fit too well, anyone found any stuff, t-mobile don't even list this on their accessories site (thanks for putting in a totally useless flyer in the box)

You been here :-
http://www.t-mobile-accessories.co.uk/A_HTC_Touch-Diamond_Prods.html ?
I'm guessing not, unless it's only just gone live ....... There's not all that there though, and no cases at all. I'm using my Bugatti case I had for my MDA Touch as I've not found any thing I like yet.

yes i have but i dont have a diamond, mda iv is diferent shape, crappy generic stuff might work but i want a proper fitting silicone case and a proper matching charger cradle.

guess we have to wait until the US/canada release. then there should be more accessories available for the victor

extended battery with new cover
Guys ,this is long awaited item.Expansys is so fast but costly.
1340mAh with MDA Compact cover
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=171125
I am interested in full invisible shield and silicone case.let me know if someone has found those for MDA Compact IV not diamond
cheers

hmm. i wonder what the US/Canadian versions of the mda/victor look like. they come with a 1340mAh from stock.

Might just look like this

I have looked everywhere for an MDA compact 4 specific silicone case, but no one seems to have one. I bought 2 from ebay for the Diamond, but neither fit very well at all and the stylus hole is not in the right place. Why did T mobile change the design ??

I have to agree, it's pretty frustrating at the minute, I mean you can't even get a screen protector at the minute as the diamond one is the wrong shape as MDA has curved screen top & bottom.
Hopefully now that the P3702 has been released in Taiwan and the US the accessories suppliers will start to provide stuff specific for this shape.
Oh and shame on you T-Mobile, i got one of those accessory flyers with mine only to find there is nothing listed for the Compact IV

try here in awhile http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=168071
but you should be able to get some directly from t-mobile, since there were screen protectors included in the retail box.
an we'll probably get different color backs for our mda compact 4, see here
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/15/sprint-readying-a-red-htc-touch-diamond/
and here http://www.slashphone.com/rumor-htc-victor-for-sprint-in-red-151279
already fir for a 1340mha battery.
btw: the htc pouch fits the mda very well.

Still nothing. Something must be out there.

Ya same here,eagerly waiting all the accessories for MDA Compact IV.Loads for accessories are for ugly diamond only at present.

This is ridiculous, someone gotta bring out something for the IV soon.

I too am suffering from the lack of specific accessories for the MDA and I did get 'caught' with a car holder that was supposed to be for the MDA but the MDA is slightly wider... ended up having to shave a ridge off inside the holder (sanded it down as well) and now it's slides in and out a treat (so to speak).
Having said all that I personally think that the design of the MDA is a lot sleeker that the Diamond and even the change of theme I prefer now.

invisible Shield
Finally its out
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

the exim on is excellent foe the mda IV. covers the whole face. leave the zagg one alone unless you want the screen to come off

ful body coverage is not going to work very well as the whole of the bottom section are buttons that are going to be constantly moving and after a while you'll get dirt in it? o.0

Just ordered an invisibleshield thing. What other choice have we got ?

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.

Leather Case

Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone knows if this phone will ship with a leather case? The only other HTC phones I've had are the Touch Diamond and the Touch Pro 2, both shipped with cases, so I'm feeling hopeful. Just wondered if anyone knew for sure?

Well the g2 hasn't from the looks of it so I doubt it. My hero didn't come with one a year ago either.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

From a description I read previously, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. But, then again, I'm pretty sure in the description, it said it came with an 8gb card, and another member said he was told it didn't come with a card!
However, since you can buy a leather slip case seperately for this, I'm gonna go ahead and say that it won't come with a leather case...

Every HTC device that I've ever bought has shipped with a leather case.. so.. I think yes... but we'll see.

I just got mine today and sadly it does not come with a leather case.

@Orite
You're talking of TMobile G2, not HTC Desire Z
They're the same phone, but we can never be sure if it's coming with the same accessories!
I'm waiting for my Desire Z...when it'll come to me I'll update you on the included accessories ^^

Well' I don't worry so much about phone case, I have order a quality case from Ebay

Having kept my Raphael (touch pro) and the case it was shipped with as a pair permenantly for the last 2 years I would hope it does come with a case......the desire didnt afaik.
Ive spotted a fairly tidy looking official HTC case here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-desire-z-pouch-po-s540-p26020.htm

this policy seems to have changed more recently, I used to get one with htc phones up till the magic, but then hero, legend and desire all didn't come with a case

Hi,
When I've ordered the HD2, the case arrived in the box as well.
A month later I have ordered a Touch2 for my friend and there was no case in the box.
So ... we will see what is in the box when it arrives, hope there will be no difference in accessories between countries where the phone will be delivered.

If htc cheaps out of a leather case for the Desire Z, the G2 forums are reporting that the original G1 case, easily found on eBay for cheap, fits the G2 perfectly.

I have owned a Hero and a Desire (Bravo) and neither of those came with a case of any sort.

This one looks good making use of the flip out keyboard without taking it out of the case:

Just the case I ordered one week ago. Free shipping worldwide

Interesting. Not sure how much that plastic over the keys would annoy me, though. I almost think I'd rather have a slip pouch that I'd have to remove the phone from each time than type through plastic. I dunno, I really did have my heart set on something I'd be able to type on while still in the pouch.

not a huge fan of leather cases tbh..seems to add a lot of perceived bulk to the phone. a clear crystal case would be fine i think..but at the moment, not many options! guess i'll just have to take extra care when i get my phone in 2 days! =D

In my opinion Noreve has the best leather cases. These case's have a stable metal frame inside the stitch edges.

Just had a look and yes, their cases look great. Could only see a pouch style case for the DZ, though. Went ahead and sent them an e-mail asking if they planned to develop a flip style case and I received this back...
