Does noone have any comments?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cktlcmd:
I would go for the Piel Frama case. I read somewhere that they redesigned this so that the hinge would not be affected when you close it. Plus the quality is very nice, judging from my pouch case.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Anton.Valleyman:
Thanks, cktlcmd. I agree in that the build quality and materials on the PF ones look by far the nicest, but there's no belt clip of any kind. I'm still leaning towards the first one on my list, but as they're out of stock til 17/02 I decided to wait and see what else I could find.

Argh!!!! If o2 had provided a decent case to begin with, this wouldn't be necessary.

Cheers

I tried to use my XDA Exec without a case to carry in my jacket pocket - and the size and bulk was not a problem at all. As soon I used the standard HTC pretend cheap leather case the bulk was too much. Anyone have any experince with a pouch like the HTC case but a lot thinner?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cktlcmd:
I have not seen any thin pouch cases. I guess, your best solution are the silicone cases. I myself are interested about those silicon cases. My only concern is if the cut-outs correspond nicely to the actual positions.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Anton.Valleyman:
Thanks guys, much appreciated.

I still think I'm gonna end up going for the first one (the horizontal belt clip one) as though I like the look and quality of the others, I won't be using the phone in any kind of case...it's simply for transportation.

Thanks for your comments!

Cheers

I bought the Brando side opening case. Although it does put the tiniest of pressure on the hinges it does fit well and protect the unit. I think the leather will squash a bit after a few eeks so making it less of a strain anyhow. For the money it's well worth it. The only thing is that all the cases make an already large phone even bigger!

My silicon case arrived from ebay and I have to say I am very impressed with the fit, I love that it is only about 1mm think and it looks great, still the issue of it being alittle hard to remove from your pocket when sitting down as the silicon is grippy but over all its a great case.

As for the one I got, it says BJ Silicone Skins on the box and they were on ebay.

Seal,

Glad that you like the case!!! About the material used, it is called OAD (Organic Anti Dust). I don't know exactly what it is but I don't see much dust over this case.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] seal:
Its the best case but as I said before the sticking to the inside of the pocket is really getting to me but I love how it doesn't bulk up the phone like a leather case does.

my case

after buying several cases i found this one.

it holds the qtek 9000 very well. the case is padded inside(soft lining) and has a hard bottom, your qtek will not be sqeezed if you bump into something.

Has anybody tried the crystal plastic hard case for the exec ? saw it on ebay:

EB Cases has one for the Universal

I have been using a slipper case with belt clip from EBCases.com and love it! It is a pre-production unit but it works exactly how I wanted it to.

It is a little different than the other companies cases in that it holds the phone in PDA (portrait) mode while in the case and has a flip top cover hinged at the top. The hinge on the back of the case is low enough to allow the camera to be used without removing the device. It provides great protection and I love being able to leave it in PDA mode to make best use of the phone and quick access to pda functions.

EB does not have the case on their website yet but if you contact them they can let you know the status of getting one.

Regards,

Gordo

I have the aluminium case, and had the Piel Frama. I BROKE MY SCREEN with teh Piel Frama.. nice case but uselss as far as protection.

The Aluminium case is a slight pain, but holdsmy MDA well. IT has also protected it from two falls of 3-4 feet onto a road surface.

I would like something like the Piel Frama though but with a belt clip. I dont like carrying my MDA in my pocket.

I got crystal case from here:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Crystal-Case-...hZ005QQcategoryZ48673QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

Seems to fit quite well, and compared to my Leather case it made the whole caboodle so much thinner! A nice touch is that you get a free screen protector too! Oh and you can pop a PIctureof your cat (or whatever) under the case top to brighten your Exec up!!

How does the belt clip work with this thing? I don't see a clip on it, but in the ad is says it "comes with a clip"?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] adamelphick:
The clip attaches to the 'bulge' on the back using a peg that is screwed through from the inside and attached with a plastic lug. I havent used the belt clip as i dont like having my phone hanging on my trousers but it seems fairly stable.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] BillB:
Has anyone tried this case:

http://www.noreve.com/brand/Qtek/pr...TC_universal_-_i-Mate_Jasjar_Tradition_-.html

It looks interesting, but I wonder how securely it holds the Universal in place. It appears as though it does not have anything across the top of the keyboard to hold it, unlike the Piel Frama which has the plastic screen.

I would hope the sides would be strong and/or "grippy" enough to hold it.

Anyone?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] lie_ui:
adamelphick,

Can you use it in PDA mode? How thick is the plastic? It is hard plastic?

I have silicon case (very thin silicon) and with the front silicon piece attached to my Universal, it can't be used in the PDA mode unless I removed the front part. So I only use the lower part of the silocon case to cover the main body of the Universal and leave the screen piece without any cover.

Is it the same case with this plastic case? Can you take a picture of it in PDA mode? Thanks.

daveke0201,

Where did you get your case, I think it looks nice. I have the piel frama pouch case which is nice, but is a hassle to use in combination with my silicone case (really can't live without it). Maybe this case could be usefull. I like the way yours looks better than the Xax one.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Biffert:
Im using this when its in my bag, or in my jacket (can't have it falling or bumping :))

For more easy rides it's without any protection :)

It bulks up a little, but it's an expensive piece of hardware. And yes, it's a great piece of protection :) Not sure, but i think it's aluminium on the outside. Has neopreen inside (the divingsuitestuff :)) And a handy little window to see if anythings going on. All the buttons are free to press with ease.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] captainsensible2002:
The crystal case is 'ok' but the belt clip is rubbish - very flimsy, too easy to for the uni to pop out if you sit down and if you catch the clip on something it will probably break. You can't buy the clip seperately so you have to buy a complete new case if you break the clip - the upside of that is, its a cheap case but I have now broken 2 clips so want something sturdier. The case itself is not bad and doesn't add much to the overall bulk of the uni, unlike any leather cases. PDA mode is out though as the screen won't fully close with the top part of the case attached and as it covers the touchscreen if put on in PDA mode, it kind of negates the point!

Hope that's helpful!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] nexxus:
Hi, Just wanted to add the case I've just found for my XDA Exec, which might be useful to some people. It's actually a camera bag, but fits the Exec perfectly, zip up top and well padded to keep it nice and safe (front pouch is great for a BT headset or spare battery). Probably a bit to bulky for the 9-5ivers going to/from the office but very good for those who do a more "active" job/activities and require some protection for there brick.

Anyway details:

Got to be a Krusell...

The medium Krusell Verticalic PDA pouch is *superb* for this device, especially horizontally on the belt. It actually keeps an enormous device snugly in close to the body and is made from a nice bit of hide too. Very tasteful :D

I'm not so impressed with their dedicated Exec case, though, as it isn't wide/tall enough to cushion falls...

Hi All,

I find the PDair alluminium cases to be the best about at the moment. You can buy an optional car mount, to mount the phone in the car while still in it's case and you get a choice of silver or black.

I sell more of these than anything else and I'm yet to recieve a complaint!

I tried the Piel Frama leather case, but I found it too big. Now I use the Crumpler neopren case PP120. It fits perfectly the universal and I don't have to protect the screen because I always close my universal.

My favourite is the Krusell

Krusell Dynamic Black Leather Case - check it out here:

http://www.cases.com/krxdaexd.htm

Personally, I've found that the Krusell Dynamic Black Leather Case is perfect. Previously, I've had many instances when, in an attempt to remove the device from the pouch, it almost fell... phew...almost. However, with the Krusell multidapt belt clip which comes with the case and its especially well thought out design, I don't have to remove the device from the case to use it, neither do I have to use two hands to access the device.

In terms of fall protection, this case doesn't seem to offer much assistance as a matter of fact it offers none. But for persons who use pouches, especially those without belt clips or loops, it eliminates the most likely instance of falls - removal of the device from the pouch. I haven't been so adventurous to store the device with the screen exposed as shown in the cases.com website, so I usually invert the screen and forfeit single glance caller ID.

I won't mention the fact that you get full access to all buttons, and the camera on the device due to the design of the case. But I will speak about the belt clip. When I was purchasing this case, I also bought a steel swivel belt clip, since I thought the plastic would be too inferior for a device of this weight - but I was wrong. The plastic belt clip has proven to be very sturdy, it doesn't suffer from the wearing out of the spring which ultimately leads to the device slipping out from the clip...and on to the seat of the taxi you are in...then you exit the taxi, oblivious to the fact that your V600 is still in the taxi and you are walking about with just a clip....arrrrgh damn that person who didn't return my V600...anyway, I digress. Fact is the plastic clip is good enough, if you choose to go the metal route, you'd need at least two hands to remove the device - one or maybe two to hold down the lever that secures the device in place and one to remove the device...oh and you should be a weight lifter.

I have found the Aluminum case is the ONLY case to use, I have used ALL teh different canses and they only dont protect from drops, on two occasions I broke the screen when I sat down. Not on the Universal mind you, there was enough flex of the case and teh holder at my hip that it cracked teh screen. With the AL Case, I can even put my MDA in my pocket without a worry of cracking the screen and at $260 a new screen.. I will deal with the big ugly metal case.

Charles
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cdgoin:
I found a neat trick, with a razor you can cut back the neoprene and remove the glass/plastic window. Then you can have full access to the screen for making calls, and such without opening the case. When you put it in your pocket, etc.. just flip the screen to protect it.

I have dropped this case numerous times, some even on concrete from 4 feet, and it saved my MDA everytime.

Ugly little case, but man is it worth every penny.

EB Cases has the one!

EB cases www.ebcases.com makes some of the best cases out there. I worked with them by donating my JasJar for a couple of days so they could sketch out and photograph my baby and they did produce a prototype that I have been using.

I have attached the PDF I sent to them to highlight a few small changes that would need to be made for a production unit. The decision to make it a portrait oriented slipper case was a great idea (for me anyway) becaue I use it mostly in the PDA mode and the case as designed works fantastic. It is designed like the other EB slipper cases with the best belt clip on the market (my original MDA, Ipaq 6315 and now JasJar) has never let my phone(s) break free and make like a bird.

If this is the case for you then please email them and let them know that they should put that case into production!

PS. If you want a pouch case then get the Copilot 20 with the belt clip. I used that one first before I got the slipper prototype and it worked very well (a little snug for a few days but then perfect).

Regards,

Gordo

Been a fan of Krusell case for a longtime on my Nokias, SX1, and now my Universal. As for protection it ain't the best minor bumps it can withstand but any kind of major fall your screwed. Fit and finish top notch fits like a glove, and probably one of the thinnest case on the market, short of the Javoedge rubber ones.

is there any case that can be used with the 5200mAh or 3200mAh Batteries that protrude out the back more than the factory installed battery? I want to change my battery and also want to get a case that'll fit it...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] modem_man:
Bought the Sena case and returned almost immediately.

The lining on the inside of the Universal (along the hinge) prevents it from closing nicely. So you'll have to force the case to clip it magnetically.

Hence loosening the hinge.

Instead went and bought the Noreve and I'm loving it.

Took them quite a while to ship it to me but well worth the wait imo.

Holds the Universal well enuf and easy enuf to slide out for me to put my Universal into the brodit/proclip car mount.

Compared to the proporta case where if the magnetic clasp is accidentally released, the Universal will fall out (due to the orientation of the PDA). With the Noreve, the Universal stays there and won't fall out.

Hope that helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] modem_man:
I have a case that I used for travelling which holds the Universal with a 3200mAh battery well. Nice and tight but easy enuf to pull out.

Can't remember the exact model but I know it's a blue label case. It was either a Pictor or the horizon multiadapt.

I'll post the model # of the case later tonight after I get off work.

It's a good case except for one thing....the clip on my case broke and I'll have to send it in for a replacement which is in Sweden. Other than that, it's a great case for the Universal with a extended battery.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] modem_man:
The Krussel case that I have for the Universal with extended battery is the Horizontic PDA L blue label with Multidapt.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Tbaba:
You got any links to this Krussel case? Where can i get it cheap?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] modem_man:
I just did a search for the model # on google and nothing came up.

I went to the Krussel website and it seems that they've discontinued it.

So if you can find one, it's probably old stock.

I got my case from a relative staying in Malaysia. He has the Dopod and bought it for himself but decided not to use it as he uses the regular battery and doesn't like the Universal jiggling around. With the extended battery, it was a perfect fit though.

I'll keep on looking around and see if I can find one and I'll msg back here. If you're interested in the store in M'sia, I can provide you with their phone numbers.
