bump

Bump. So nobody knows the answer to this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] chrissyboy6969:
Anyone recommend a good case that doesnt bloat the phone out but is still a good case that you can use the phone without having to remove it from the case. Did that make sense?? not sure

Anyway there doesnt seem to be many cases available yet so i guess wizard users can recommend a manufacturer and style that i can keep an eye out for to see if they release a TyTn case

Cheers

iPod socks

I am using an ipod sock to protect my TyTN. It fits perfectly inside and I can put it on my pocket. IMHO the shipped leather case with magnets bloats the phone too much and I can't put it on my pocket, also I don't like magnets near my device :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] goestoeleven:
Cute socks!

I must say that the leather case that came with the TyTN is probably the best bundled case I've ever had. I'm still going to replace it for all-sides protection, but at least I can feel good about using it in the meantime....

I don't think its real leather. more like faux leather to me. doesn't have that nice smell to it.

I sent an email to SENA to ask if they will be making a case for the TyTN soon. They replied that if the TyTN becomes popular in the US, they will consider it!

I have one from them for the BA and it is beautifully made.

Proporta are doing a flip and book case for the TyTn HERE.

Unfortunately there's no image. But 4winmobile have a review and loads of piuctures of the same case for the Wizard HERE

I would think it'd be the same bar slightly different sizing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] pgamble:
Noreve should be releasing one today ... personally I think it will slip.

I have one of theirs for my Archos 5100 which is superb. My only concern is that their 9100 case and Krussells have not protection for the bottom corners.

The second generation 9100 case from Piel Frama (Expansys rebrand as Chairmans) was superb and did protect the whole device. Piel Frama tell me they are waiting for a device to use to design the case.

Fingers crossed.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Siruss:
Best case

I'm using the belt clip leather case that I used to use with my Treo 650.

This is an old model that had no magnets (that cause troube) with credit cards and so.

And it fit's just right.

I don't know if this is still available, i tried to find it on the palm's site and I cousd not find it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] paulesport:
I don't mind the leather case somewhat bloating out, however, I am bias to a leather case with the "opening/flap" on the vertical topside rather than on the horizontal long side. This is because as I place the phone back in the horizontal case, the slider opens more often causing the slider to get "loose" as time draws by. However, i do require a swivel mechanism on the leather case because i prefer it to be against my belt in a horizontal position while having the opening/flap on the vertical end. Unfortunately, the swivel mechanism breaks easily after 3-4 months of use and i wish there was a horizontal case with a permanent clip and a vertical end opening/flap.

I have a wizard and I bought a Krusell Cabriolet. I absolutely love it because it allows me quick access to my device and doesn't weigh much and isn't bulky.

I ummed and aaahed about a case for a long time because none on the market could properly handle the keyboard. Eventually I got tired of waiting and even though I have to remove the Wizard from my Cabriolet to use the keyboard, this only takes a few seconds. There is still nothing on the market that handles the keyboard, so don't hold your breath.

I've now also ordered the carholdikit accessory so I can clip it into my car quickly and use my wizard with a GPS for sat nav.

If you want a low profile case which provides the minimum of protection yet still gives you access, this is the best one around.

I can't be sure it will fit the TyTn, but because the tytn is longer, not wider, it should be OK. Also, the cabriolet has no protection on the top, so out of the cases reviewed below, it's the most likely to suit a TyTn.

Hi,

This case from pdair fits perfectly the TyTN, all buttons are accessibles.

I bought it here:

but I am sure there is other places where you can find it.

Currently using my old P900 case which is the Krusell 'Dynamic' model, fits the phone perfectly but the button holes are in the wrong places so I have to take it out of the case to use it - if only Krusell would make a version for the TyTn.

Looking for an alternative I found this one at IDS in Hong Kong which looks quite good.

At $25.00 USD including free delivery I thought I'd give it a try, it should arrive later this week.

They also do a Gel Skin just in case thats what anyone's looking for...

Update:

I received the case and have posted a more in depth review here :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] trentend:
Thanks for that. Giving both of these a try (ordering as we speak), as they are exactly what I've been waiting for.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AFK_Matrix:
Yeah that IDS one looks brilliant. Let us know how you get on with it, as i'll probably order one on your reviews.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] john1027:
If you want to go vertical, the RIM brand Leather Swivel Holster for 8700 Blackberry Series fits and works very well with the TyTN. I had been using it with the S200 for awhile. With the S200 it was little loose, but not too much so. With the TyTN it fits like it was custom made for it. I would point out that mine is well broken in from use. The cover wraps over the top of the unit and attaches with a very secure magnetic snap. I like the vertical case as it takes less space up on your belt. There is a ratcheting swivel that lets the unit move on your belt as needed but does not spin freely.

It is very well made and lined in some type of soft velvet like material. It holds the TyTN very securely. To take it out of the case, you can either give a slight push up from the open corners on the bottom of the case or you can take it out by grabbing it on the top at the two cutouts on both sides of the case. It has a well constructed built-in belt clip that securely will hold it on you belt without a lot of worry about falling off. It is constructed in a manner that keeps the case close to your belt and doesn't stickout excessively as may of the swivel cases do.

I got the case at an airport shop but found this link where it is on sale right now for $21.99 not including shipping:

http://www.blackberrysource.com/store/catalog.asp?item=285

I have had a lot of cases over the years including some high end models. For the money, I consider this to be one of the best that I have purchased.

I am really interested in the review of the forte case. I want a case that has a spot for my credit card and/or ID, and maybe another small pocket. I don't care about using my 8525 in the case as I will just pull it out when I need it. I'm just tired of carrying my wallet and my 8525 in my pocket. Anybody know of any cases with extra pockets besides microSD slots, and if so what do you think about them. Hell, I would even pay for a customized leather case if you know any talented leather workers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bkbroil:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] kelkin:
Did you get the screen shield or the full body shield? I'm considering getting the full body shield, but I'm curious... does it actually prevent scratches if you drop the phone from waist height? My 8125 has scratches on the corners from taking those drops, so I want to make sure my 8525 doesn't wind up looking similar in a few months.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bkbroil:
I got the full body shield....and it does protect the corners... I haven't dropped it from waist height without having the aluminum case on it... but I'm almost positive that it would protect it from getting those scratches...

Besides, the shield give it a vinyl like covering which makes the phone more "grippable" ... I really think it's worth it.

Apparently there is a 20% discount if you go to http://www.shieldzone.com/rocky.html

I got this info from BensBargains.net

Don't use any aluminium cases on your PDA phone, the case will cause your PDA phone NO signal.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] .VIBE:
I use the alu case. sure it makes the signal a bit weaker, but if i can't hear a guy, i just take it out of the case. I can't find another case that allows you to make calls and access the screen while in the case. (i broke out the screen cover).

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] TheRealHotFix:
Boxwave case warning!

I registered just to warn you all about this case.

The only thing holding the phone in is some foam padding that makes it snug. then after that all you have is a plastic latch catching on to plastic "bumps" on the side of the phone case.

Can you imagine what happens when your coat, or chair, or arm accidentally catch the latch? That's right, your precious 8525 turns in to a Frisbee, and you can only pray it doesn't fall apart when it hits the ground.

I took the screw on belt clip off as I couldn't bear the thought of dropping the phone again, so I just stuff the phone in a case in my coat pocket (don't know what I am going to do when it gets warm.

So I would strongly urge you to stay away from this good idea but poor execution case.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] kelkin:
Awesome, thanks for the discount code.. just ordered it for $19.99. How easy is it to apply? Does it cover the buttons and keys? If so, does it interfere with their use? Is it easily washable and reuseable?

-Keith
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bkbroil:
It is not that easy to apply...it takes a little bit of patience but is well worth it...I compare it to paper mache (sp??) ... apply the solution to the phone then slide the vinyl around until it fits correctly and then let it sit overnight to dry... (btw...you have to look at the individual pieces and then figure out where they fit on the phone...don't worry, it's not rocket science...but plan 30 minutes to do it right)

It does not cover the buttons....and it would be very easy to clean....but I have never had to clean it since I applied it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bkbroil:
This is the EXACT case that I currently have....and as I mentioned before...if you have Invisible shield applied, the phone fits so snuggly that if I open my case and turn it upside down...the phone stays in..

BTW..I am currently sitting with my aluminum case open and upside down with the phone facing the ground and it is not dropping out. YMMV

I'm not saying buy the case...I'm only telling you about my experience with the case and Invisible shield applied to my phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] warmkiwi99:
i might be the only one but.... i quite like the standard htc tytn case that comes in the box. only problem is it doesn't fit with a big fat battery installed.

does anyone know of a similar case that is bigger or can expand? horizontal with belt clip
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] BigBen:
I had a Krusell horizontal for my HP IPAQ HX2495 (I think that was the model) which I still sometimes use with my Cing 8525. It's quite roomy, not a custom fit at all. I think it might work for you.

Now I have a Krusell for my Hermes/8525 which doesn't provide much protection. It's the one with plastic over the keyboard, which I didn't like, so I cut it out. Problem is, that's what holds the phone in the holster, so I put in some velcro on the back of the phone and inside the holster. Works OK, but I am looking for more protection now. Full body shield, maybe. If it's good enough for the Burger King, it's good enough for me! ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] BigBen:
I modified a leather Krusell by putting Velcro on the back of my Hermes and in the case. Would that work with these Al cases?

body cover

How did you get the discount? It keeps coming up at $24.95 for me....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] TheRealHotFix:
I don't think so. The phone fits pretty snug in there now, just not snug enough to stay there w/o some sort of additional piece like BKBroil was talking about. I think a two piece velcro would be too big to fit behind the phone.

And while I appreciate that BKBroil was able to get the case to fit snug with the use of another vendor's product, I shouldn't have to use vendor B's product to get vendor A's product to function properly. :(

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bkbroil:
Unfortunately, I agree with "therealhotfix" ... you shouldn't have to purchase something from one vendor to get another vendors product to work correctly.

I just happened to buy Invisible Shield before I got the aluminum case and lucked out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Janis:
Form and Function...

...mosty form, other cases have plenty of function. I'm not a gusher, but these cases, considering what they are, are beautiful.

I actually have a wizard, which is a perfectly horrid object for which to design a case. I love my Spanish leather. I think it's better than some of my hyper-priced Italian shoes. No scratches, which is a miracle given how hard I am on my poor unit, and it's split leather, so it's not nearly as bulky as the other leather cases, but really high quality, so irregularities don't show up as functional vulnerabilities.

I have really looked (and bought) hard, and despite my loss of use of the keyboard while it's in the case, this is by far my favorite.

I don't use the supplied clip:eek: , I use the Rivet clip et al. The adhesive they use is amazing, sticks, but no damage to the leather when I took it off!

Has anyone tried a case from www.covertec.com?

There is a model for the TYTN here: http://www.covertecstore.com/en/t-smart/rm-HTCTYTN/smart-htc-tytn.html

A colleague has one for a Nokia and it is of high quality. I'm considering buying and wondered if anyone had this one.

I have a similar Krussel case and I switched over to the Boxwave aluminum case...and I'll tell you what.....I don't think I can ever go back to a flip case...Whenver I get a notification (email, phonecall etc....) I just look at the phone and see what I need...

With the flip style case, I was constantly pulling it off my belt and I had to unfasten the cover...turn on the phone... It's not a big deal, but considering that the aluminum case allows me to just look at the phone with no other motions...it became a hassle to use a flip style case.

and....since flashing WM6 and Radio 1.38 my signal has been at 3 bars or more..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] RemE:
It's been mentioned before, beware of the Pocket Solutions "Signature" case for the 8525/Hermes. Someone else mentioned that the phone can swivel easily, flap opens, and there goes your phone clattering across the concrete in my case. I have since applied a thin coat of silicone rubber adhesive on the inside of the case, back AND sides, let it cure a few days and now the phone can not accidently eject as it is difficult to slide it out now.

However this defeats the purpose as one needs to slide the phone out to use the keyboard. So it's Thumbs down on this pretty, but expensive and dangerous POS.

Edit, I did write to Pocket Solutions about this case, they promptly responded and told me that they have re-designed/re-located the swivel and improved the case. A new one is on it's way to me. I'm cautiously hopefull.

I am always looking for the better case but I have a problem with all of these vendors saying that the Cingular 8525 and the HTC TyTN are the same. Yes, I know that for the most part they are but when you get to the frontal cosmetics, they are different enough that they don't quite have the same button access with a case around them.

Does anyone make plastic case covers that are SPECIFICALLY for the HTC TyTN?

boxwave active case

Does anyone know how the Boxwave Active Case actually holds onto the phone? There are some silicon cases out there (man, I miss mine from the Treo days) that sort of just holds on without really gripping the phone -- it comes off very easily.

I'm just curious how the Active Case grips the phone and doesn't come off --- since HTC didn't seem to think it was necessary to put notches in the TyTN/Hermes for cases to latch onto.

I'm hoping they're not using adhesive or something like that -- as I'd love to be able to switch out between this case and my Armor Case (which I've dropped 4-5 times with my phone in it... it's all dented and scratched, with no physical damage to my phone).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] JasenR:
Well, if it's like others (not Boxwave) I have used for cell phones it just snaps on around the edges, no adhesive is used and the case is easily removed. What I liked about them is that if the worst does happen the case takes the damage or breaks away and thereby absorbs the energy of the impact. I once dropped a phone about 15 feet onto concrete and the case shattered but the phone didn't even have a scratch! I went straight to the store and got a replacement. Best $3 I ever spent! :D

Still waiting on my ebay purchase mentioned earlier in the thread, so they get a F for delivery time! However if the quality is as good as I'm hoping for it will be worth the wait, if not I will order the Boxwave.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bkbroil:
I have two questions for you (because I have been seriously looking at this holster):

1. "Note: This holster is ONLY for UN-Skinned Cingular 8525!"

Does this mean it won't work with my Invisible Shield? (I can't imagine that the Invisible Shield would create any problems)

2. Do you have the ability to turn the phone sideways and it will stay (ratcheting swivel)?

Thank you for your time with this.
