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.

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...
Gadget 8)
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 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.

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.
I am looking for a good holster that will hold the Nexus One while it has a case on. I have a transparent TPU case (have to show off the sexy engraving on the back). Does anyone have a recommended case that can hold or adjust to the nexus one while it has the added bulk of a case on it?
I am looking for something like the Seidio Innocase Case Holster which is here on Amazon.
If you check out down in the review area there is a video and a guy reviewed it and it seems to fit the Innocase inside the holster pretty well. Didn't look like it would fall out.
Anyone have any experience or suggestions with this? Let me know. Thanks.
EDIT: I actually just discovered that there are 2 versions of the Seidio Holsters; one for a device that does not have a case and one for a device that does have a case.
You can check out a good Youtube review of the Holster and Innocase here.
You can see that there is a special version of the holster here on Seidio's website.

IMO holsters = dropped phone... Either the phone pops out on its own, or gets bumped...
My thing is that I've had the dust under the screen problem so I wanted to get it out of my pocket. It does raise the risk of a drop though, this is true. Who wants to drop a $530 phone.

Oh, I use horizontal cases, have for years. Never dropped a phone from one, just of course you gotta be mindful when you're putting it in, taking it out.. And personally I always get them with a belt clip (to keep it in place on my belt) and belt loops. One case I had didn't have belt loops and I was always finding the phone in my car seat where it pushed off my belt.
I recently ordered this case... Hopefully coming in the next day or two. Otherwise I have some cheap cases which work, or my beat-to-hell Seideo case.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IM61D4/ref=oss_product
Only time I ever pocket carry a phone is when I have a new phone and I'm transitioning between the two, or sometimes on the weekend when I'm just lazing around the house.
I use a nite ize heavy duty holster. Size medium. It fits my otterbox defender and casemate tough case NP.
I use a cellet bergamo iPhone belt clip / holster nice and snug on my innocase 2

I'm about to purchase an HTC Desire, and I'm shopping for a good case/holster so I'm ready to go once I get the new phone (just waiting on the contract to expire)...
I work in a manufacturing plant, and I'm pretty rough on phones. I typically carry them horizontally on my belt, and I'm looking for something similar. However, I want something that will protect as much as possible as it get bumped on equipment, conveyor, etc. Screen-in is a must, obviously. I'd really like something that protects the phone all the time, and then some sort of holster that holds the phone with the protection.
The best thing I've found is a Innocase Rugged Combo, but it's only available for the Nexus One, and won't fit the desire...
Something similar I've found is a snap-on hard case combo but I haven't found any reviews. It's a hard cover and a clip-type holster together from Techie Warehouse (mfg unknown).
Then there are clip-type holsters like the Amzer Rubberized holster.
Or leather holsters like the MobiMan Premium.
Then, I've always got the option to make something. My best friend makes leather and kydex holsters, so I'm tempted to make my own holster like the leather or clip one. I would just keep the phone in armor like the Case-Mate Barely There, Case-Mate Tough, or PDair Aluminum Case within the holster I make.
What do you guys think? Any experience with any of these, especially the Techie hard combo case? Thanks,
Danny
Have you had a peek at the OtterBox line of cases? They are pretty tough, especially the Defender. The Desire cases are at http://www.otterbox.com/desire-cases/desire-cases,default,sc.html. Only the Defender has a belt clip, and it's made to fit the case. Someone else on XDA had one, and they dropped their Desire down a set of stairs, and it hit a wall and then the ground, and the case was undamaged, and so was the phone.
Just quickly, and off topic, but welcome to xda-developers, shorin!
Yes, I looked at the Otterbox cases. They look very nice, but they just don't quite meet my needs.
The Defender does have a belt clip, but it places the screen out. I'd break the screen in a day with that...
I have considered the Commuter if I make my own holster.
Thanks for the welcome. I've been on here quite a while. Just never needed to post until now...
Thanks,
Danny
It looks like the Otterbox Defender may be the ticket. I did some looking again, and I didn't see any reason the phone wouldn't fit with the screen in.
I found a review on YouTube that confirms this and I also asked the question via the Q&A on the Otterbox website and they confirmed that the holster will work screen-in.
Problem solved...
Danny
No problem!

Just a lily note. I personally use the otterbox defender. It fits the holder screen in or out. And my opinion the best protection money can buy.

Having used a TPU case on my E71 for the last two years, I've already ordered one for my new Desire Z. Now I'd like to find a leather case with a belt clip (preferably horizontal) that will hold the whole package. Does anybody have any recommendations?
Also, I saw mentioned in a few threads that a magnetic closure on the case can cause problems (potentially long-term) with the compass? Is there any truth to that? If so, I guess I want a case with no magnetic closure!
