for me Krussel brand it's the best :D

Only one tiny drawback with that case, it's hard to use the stylus right up in the corners. But the screen cover flips down so dang easy it doesn't seem to be a "real problem"

PDAir TyTn Leather Case

I just received my PDAir case. Exellent fit and finish.

One problem though - With the phone in the case, callers tell me that my voice is "breaking-up" with my blue-tooth headset. I can hear just fine.

I tried a different bluetooth headset with the same results. After taking the phone out of the case, the bluetooth headsets worked fine. So, I guess the case is going back.

Re: PDAir TyTn Leather Case

I so wish I had read that before I ordered mine last night.... oh well. I guess I at least have a case that I can use for carrying it in rugged places without reception.

I am assuming that you are talking about the aluminium case right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] ronr9286t:
PDAir Case

No, it is the leather case with, I think, an aluminum insert on the flap that covers and "protects" the screen. It seems that the protection also interferes with the bluetooth transmission.[/quote]

Thanks to David's post http://xdaforums.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=115015 , another vote for the Berghaus small GPS case. Excellent snug fit, highly protective and for a zip opening, very quick to access and remove the phone.

Update: Ordered immediately. On the ids tracking page my order is still logged as "Outstanding Order". Looks like no stock.

Have had and email promising shipment (after enquiring), will keep you all up to date.

In the interim have dropped the device twice. Once in the supplied case in a car park, that resulted in a couple of nasty scratches on the corner. Once while taking out of the case in a pub, and dropping on the floor - the battery popped out, but no apparent damage.

Let's hope the cases get here while my device still functions.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] trentend:
Update: Cases delivered very speedily once in stosk, with excellent communication from ids.

The silicone skin is excellent, it goes as far around the device as it can while still allowing the keyboard slide. Those buttons which aren't exposed can be easily pressed through the skin. Slots are there for the wheel and the memory card. I'm quite pleased. It also stops the phone sliding when on a shiny surface.

The case is close to perfect, bar two modifications that I would make. The case fastening is a press stud, which in my view extends too far out of the side of the case. Over the top of this is a solid cover which laps over and fastens on top of the press stud with a magnet. I would replce the press stud with a magnet fastening and give the lap over cover a plastic window so that you can see the screen when using in one-handed wheel mode. 7/10, but still the most promising case I've seen so far. Pretty good protection while still allowing the phone to be used quickly.

When you open the front flap, is there plastic over the screen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] spartanrob:
So, once you put the skin on, how/where do you carry the phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] trentend:
No. The front flap is solid, and has space to hold a memory card. The press-stud secured front to the case (behind the flap), has empty space (air) where the screen would be.

Personally I'd eliminate the flap, put plastic to protect the screen, and replace the press-stud with magnets. It would be much easier to access the device, cut down on uneccessary fasteners, and provide almost the same level of protection to the device.

But that's not how it is.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] frustin:
what do you do about using a docking station? have to take it out each time?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] trentend:
You can plug in a mini-usb cable without removing the case. I don'thave a docking station to try it with - but I would not anticipate success. The extra tolerance required to accomodate the case (in a docking station) would mean that all the wieghtof the unit would be on the usb connector. With the tytn at an angle this would surely be a bad thing?

Can you ever use a case with a docking station? Certainly, going back, my ipaq's could (with the hard expansion pack type cases) but never with a soft case.

Brando Case Review

Okay I just received the Brando case. Here are my first impressions after using it for 1 day. I think this case could be good if put together with the invisible shield for side protection. However, I am open to other cases as they come out. I have seen replica's of this case on ebay and other places, but they seem a little cheapy. Brando does a really good job on quality and delivery of the product. It came in a really nice box with a Brando phone chain. I figure if you spend 700-1000 on a phone, you should be spending atleast 50-100 on case and screen protection for it if not more. After all it costs more for replacement parts then it does for proactive care.

Pictures of the case are available on the Brando website http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwhtctytnleathercase.php

The case looks exactly as it does on the site so I won't bother taking more pictures.

Pros:

Good tight fit

Sturdy Bell Clip

Thick leather protection

Nice packaging

Nice white trim

Memory card holder in front flap

Nice magnetic front flap for previewing

Hard side protection for accidental falls

Unit stays in the case and doesn't need to be taken out

Full access to bottom usb port, and reset switch

Nice brando logo inside front flap

Cons

Doesn't protect corners very well

Bottom flap beside the buttons is too flimsy

Top flap beside buttons is too flimsy

No cover plastic when opening the front preview flap

Keyboard stays a little open upon closing the case (this could be related to the tight fit and may need some breaking in)

Case button clip opens up when in the belt clip and the case is rotated past 90 degrees

Does not protect stylus from falling out

Button holes are too thich making it difficult to press some buttons

Scroll wheel is difficult to use

Camera is fully exposed, no camera protection flap

front camera hole covers part of the camera

Plastic belt clip

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] frustin:
two things:

1. a case wont allow you to fit it to a docking station.

2. all this talk of cases not protecting the corners. I dropped my on friday. it scratched two corners (slightly) and nothing else. The battery flew out, however.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] seal:
Hi all,

I really think out of reading all the reviews that the IDS Leather case is the best for protection and size and fit. But the phone is large as it is with out adding to much bulk with a leather case, the only reason i bought this phone is I love my Jasjar but find it to heavy and too big to have as a phone so the imate Jasjam style was a great desgin, I love the look of the silicon case but nothing will stop the front from being scratched. Has anyone used the silicon case and white shield "Full Body Shield" together, that would protect the front from ever being scatched and the silicon case looks like it ia the case that adds the least bulk to the phone.

I am assuming that white shields are for the particular "Brand" of phone? so a TyTN shield will not work with an Jasjam phone???

Has anyone an opinion on the white shield full body?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] dimushor:
yeah, this is a very good case, but for instance for my TyTn i am using the Krusell Multidapt case from my wizard. it fits good.

Krussel Case

"I'm waiting for the Krusell case:

http://www.krusell.se/product.php?pr...317&category=7

I've had two Krussel cases from this series, and I've not been satisfied. I love the design in theory, but in practice, the snaps that hold the flap over the camera are not sufficient to keep the case from opening on your belt, throwing the device to 90 degrees to my belt, and in a few instances, allowing the phone to fall out of the case.

I've ordered the following Krussel case:

http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2316&category=51

It looks to me like a better solution (if slightly thicker).

I've pre-ordered from a dealer here in the US (Executive PDA).

Does anyone have experience with aluminium cases from Boxwave and PDair?

Are they convinient in everyday use? Will they protect if phone will be dropped? Which one is better?

hello

I wondering meaby someone know the answer for my question.

I'm interesting if this Krusell case :

http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2316&category=51

has this same solution to keep TyTn in place (hight and stiff edges) as Brando case?

http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwhtctytnleathercase.php

or it is this (IMO) stupid slution with foil between keyboard and LCD?

Have you found any review of this Krusell case? Because my Google seems to be broken :P an I cannot fing anything even better pictures that those showed on Krysell page :(

Also, I am SOLD on the InvisibleShields, but no package yet for my 8525, can someone who has the full body coverage advise if the form factor will work for my 8525?

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] paulbacik:
I have this case. The Phone is kept in place with clear plastic that covers the keyboard. Once in place it does not come out very easily (Therefore it is not good if you need to swap batteries often, the Brando is better for this)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Andrew_j:
Thamk you for reply :)

Could you be so kind and post some photos of yours case? I'm most interested in this plastic on keyboadr and in places that are unprotected by case (edges, corners) are you happy with it?

Maybe you will have some time and write some review? I think that many users will be grateful because this is very new case on the market and I have not find any review or detail photos of it.

Thank you very much in advance :)

New skin on eBay

There's a "Silicone Skin Case for Jasjam Qtek 9600 HTC TyTN" listed on eBay. It has only been offered recently because I have been regularly checking for one exactly like this. Colours available are opaque white and flat black. I wouldn't get a white one after seeing how yellow they get.

Unless this skin has already been discussed, I'll post a review once I get hold of one.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] balld:
As a new Cingular 8525 user/owner, I was really amazed at the amount of people on this forum that have dropped/cracked/damaged their PDA/Phone. After some research, I decided to go with the Aluminum Monaco Case, black in color. I believe I purchase mine through Dealone here in the US. Access to ALL buttons and camera, and if keyboard is needed, simply pop open the case and slide upper screen forward. Simple, effective, and I believe the best protective case available for Cingular 8525/TyTn. BTW, other styles also available.

I had one just like it for my smt-5600 and loved it so went with the same thing..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Parradox:
OK, I went with this case: http://www.thepocketsolution.com/Me...ode=cingular_8525_accessories&Product_Count=0

from Pocket Solutions. I haven't read any reviews on it but it looks sweet. The price is a little too steep at ~$50.00. I will post a short review when I get it in.

Also, due to the lack of protection for the corners of the device, I purchased the Invisible Shields full protection kit.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Lurker0:
Could you please tell more about Invisible Shields? How does it add to thickness? Doesn't it make the device slippery? Can you post a picture of your device with it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Parradox:
Lurker,

Here is the link to the website...also do a search for them, there are some cool videos of people doing the "key" test of devices protected by them. There is also a less expensive item that does the same thing made by another company...but I cannot remember the name of the top of my head. I think the biggest difference between them is the 30 day return and lifetime warranty on the Invisible Shields vs none on the other.

As I understand it, IS is very thin, almost unnoticeable, and actually makes the device LESS slippery. Will do a short review when I get them in.

Good Luck.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] elite_gamer04:
After reading numerous topics around the Internet and posts within this very thread, I'm still at a loss as to the best all round case solution to my Imate JasJam.

I've been looking at the Orbit from Krusell, but to my dismay I have heard reviews from users saying that the Magnet used at for the top of the case (the main reason I stooped using the supplied Pouch with the JasJam, in fear of damaging my phone from the magnets) were causing the same issue as the supplied case, and that the plastic used to hold the JasJam in place is 'loosening' the Keyboard.

I also looked at the Silicon Case on E-Bay, and heard stories that the phone is not completely protected.

I too wanted to ask any purchaser of the ORA Premium Chairmans Case, if the plastic that holds the phone in place seems to be harmful to the PDA itself etc?

I'm asking once again, if anyone has been able to find a magentic-less case, that doesn't use some sort of feature that could harm/damage the phone (Loosening the keyboard etc)...?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] jasjamming:
im in the same boat, I have the PIEL FRAMA hand made leather which sells for $88 for Caluclator and Organizer King in South Melbourne. This case is the same as the ORA one from Expansys. Expansys is a rip off as they took the piel frama, and increased the price.

Well, in regards to it damaging the keyboard sliding mechanism, I couldnt say as I only used it for 2 weeks before I got worried, so I stopped using it.

What I am actualy after is a clear crystal hard case that clips on the back and front. The have one available for the WIZARD, but not hermes.

Still waiting..............
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Yannis_l72:
Well I also purchased the Invisible Shield (full protection) for the TyTN.

My impressions:

Pros:

- The pieces are pre-cut and fit perfectly

- The device becomes less slippery (that's good!) but not sticky as some have pointed out

- Essentially, thickness has not increased. I have a USB docking base, which fits the TyTN snuggly, and after installing the Shields it stills fits perfectly.

- It's very easy and quick to install if you follow the instructions thoroughly.

Cons:

- There is no shield-piece for the bezel around the screen at the front of the TyTN

- The main screen-protector shield, significantly decreases the speed at which you can move the stylus on the screen (i.e. it seems rather rough/ sticky for the stylus to move). I removed the main screen shield due to this reason, for another one.

- I would like to see more of the supplied "juice" supplied in the package for sticking the shields . Instructions say that you have to also spray your fingers frequently with it, so it may actually not prove enough for sticking all the shields around.

Conclusion:

I am very happy with it, after having removed the main screen-protection shield in exchange for another.

Regards,

Yannis, Greece

Saggy skin

My order finally arrived today after 8 long busines days of anticipation. But, this silicone skin mark II for the Jasjam is pretty disappointing.

It is very dificult to fit to the device first time around. I can appreciate that the makers have done OK considering the challenging form they are trying to design for. A thin lip around three quarters of the circumfrance attempts to fix the case to the device's two halves but it gets displaced by the slide out keyboard.

Obstruction of the jog wheel and and the power button is a serious defect. Overal, it makes the device feel sloppier and bulkier. The stylus is also harder to remove from its port. It's dificult to imagine using my toy with this boot-like case for long. I'm going to fight the urge to peel it off and I'm going to give it a go for at least another 24 hours.

In my photo, the flash exagerates the appearance of dust but its not good. Hopefully the mark III will be better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] naveen:
