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.

Plastic Belt Clip Holster?

Hi All,
Anyone know if there is a plastic belt-clip holster for the P3600. You know, the type where it kind of 'clicks' into place at the top?
Thanks!

Nope!
I've tried the Seidio one for the Jam thinking they're very close in size, but due to the attachment point on the clip, it does not work.
So until I find a better alternative, I'm using a leather vertical case for a Samsung blackjack - nice snug fit...

how can there be no plastic clip holster for this phone? even my old ppc 6700 with slide keyboard and more complicated design has a plastic holder!

Belt clip
As an alternative, you can probably try a leather case with a 360degree rotating clip?
I got a quite nice one, branded "PDAir". I bought it for $39 AUD.

i use a plastic holster for the Treo 650 in my car and a Treo leather holster designed for the 700w. i prefer the leather holster because it's less obtrusive...

Silicone Case

Hi,
I'm looking for a 'ultra-thin black silicone case' that covers the front buttons.
I've found these interesting cases on ebay (item:1, 2, 3) and I found an xda-user posting one. I can't differentiate if they are similar from each other and are they really thin?
Anyone bought these?
Thanks.

I'm also looking for a ultra thin silicone case but i dont need button coverage...

[Q] HTC Desire HD Case (with handphone strap hole)

Hi,
I bought this HTC Desire HD months ago together with the otterbox case. I loop my handphone strap to the bottom of the case unfortunately, it only last for 2 months and the case snapped . Do you guys have any suggestions on a case where I can actually attach a handphone strap on? I tried searching on google. No result =(.

That's an interesting question.
As a hobbyist I reviewed a few cases I tried, although I've not tried the Otterbox.
This one has holes for a strap but I don't like the case itself:
ray-out Silky Touch Silicon Jacket:
This one has holes also but I wouldn't trust the case to stay on if you hold only the strap:
ray-out Rubber Coating Shell Jacket:
This leather one has a tag you can put a strap through:
SoftBank Leather Case:
The one I use comes with a strap but no way to attach it to the DHD:
Brighton Net TPU Case:
I'm assuming the holes shown in some of the cases are for a strap because they are very small.

thinnest cover for S4 + rhinoshield

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for the thinnest cover, which protects the back and side of the phone. Maybe the H
And if it does not exist, at least one that protects the side, as the back cover is changeable.
And an other question : has domeone tried the rhinoshield protection for s4 ? :
Thanks you!!
