DEfinitely not the Crystal Case sold by Brando http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02244&dept_id=039&cat_id=0763

Probably very similar to ones sold on ebay (crystal and smoke cases) it actually fits the phone well and should protect it well against accidental falls... but :

- the clip isn't really to be thrusted since you might think sometimes it's clipped though it isn't... embarassing

- the real turn off : it fits the phone too well !? it's a real pain in the *** to take it off !! It took me more than one hour and I was really concernend by the risks of damaging my phone. On a daily basis you might need to remove it off (changing batteries, removing cover to slide the phone in a holder) and this case forbids it

Bottomline : don't use this product.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Poetique:
For me it came down to Piel Frama and Noreve, and for two reasons I went with Noreve.

1. I had a case from them for my Creative ZEN, and the thing was just as tough as it was gorgeous. Perfect fit, although the clip was a little annoying, everything else worked flawlessly.

2. The Piel Frama has a cover over the Keyboard... I type entirely too much to deal with that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] smartyP:
im trying to decide between these two as well (thanks for pointing out the plastic cover over the keyboard on the Piel Frama one)..

the big plus for the piel frama one (asside from holding id/credit card) is that is also appears to hold a stylus that can be removed from the right (instead of the left - rediculous for a right handed user)..

does the noreve have a spot to hold credit cards / id, and does it have the extra stylus holder?

thanks to anyone who can field these questions :)

I seem to have a issue with these 'clip" on belt type belt case. I seem to worry that they will fall of. I know the belt loop type are great as this ensures they cannot fall of.But you need to remove the phone from the case etc.I am using the supplied case...and i dont feel secure with it.

Is there such a case that has a belt loop type frame with a clip on piece to remove the case

Not sure if i have explained this well ? !!

Sounds EXACTLY like the Active Case from Boxwave.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] drokkon:
Well, looks like Seidio officially beat Boxwave to the Slim Rubberized punch, and I'm throwing in with them. You've probably all seen the new thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=352605), so I'm officially unsubscribed from this one.

Best of luck in your quest for the perfect case!

Case...

Do what I do; use the OEM case for the Tytn (the first Tytn, that is). Horizontal belt clip, magnetic closure, good fit, easy access. The case for the Tytn II is crud, methinks... Velcro? Come on, that went out in the 80's...

Got my Krusell in yesterday. Fits perfect. Looks great. Very high quality...I'm going to sell it :(

I'm sorry it's just way too bulky for me. I like carrying my Kaiser in my pocket. I've tried to become a belt clipper, but it's just not me. I'm going to get the Seidio.

If anyone wants my Krusell, PM or email me with an offer. It's brand new and I still have original packaging. I'm putting it on Ebay in the next couple of days.

Hello From Denmark..

I Have the same problem with the Active Case from Boxwave, get three corners completely secure and if I get the fourth corner on another corner pops off, really sucks...

I complained and they will send me a replacement, hopes arrive one day...

I have the Pielframa TyTN II case but I can't stand the plastic when typing email and hard to use the scroll button this is true for all book type of cases therefore, I got this http://www.pielframa.net/prodi.asp?ID=1774 fit very well.

Get a Noreve - they are fab...

Hi...

My Noreve Dark (Black) Vintage case arrived today from Saint Tropez, and its the best case I have ever seen for a mobile/PDA.

Its exceptionally well made, and although expensive, its well worth the money. This thing oozes quality.

The device clicks inside firmly and looks even better than without a case - amazing... and there isn't a nasty plastic cover over the keyboard.

The case is lightly padded, and also very very slim. It's the least bulky case I have seen to date.

IMO easily better than the Piel Frama, which does have a cheap looking plastic keyboard cover, isn't as well made, and cheap looking in comparison.

Probably the best case currently on the market.

I'll try and post a pic or 2 at some point.

Buy one here -

http://www.noreve.com/brand/HTC/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_P4550_-_HTC_Kaiser_-_HTC_Tytn_2.html ,

...you should seriously consider spending a little bit more for the Vintage leather.

HTH.

Regards,

Mark.

Type of Animal skin use by Noreve

Does anyone know what kind of animal's skin Noreve use for their product.

Thanks....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Prufrock:
I was after a case that would allow me to answer the phone without doing anything (i.e. having to open the case), and that also protected the screen and allowed me to use the tilt function. I didn't want a plastic cover over my keyboard, either. After much scouting around, I opted for this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Leather-Case-Cl...yZ130803QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I've been using the case for a few months now, and it's perfect. No signs of wear and still as sturdy as ever.

My favorite case so far is from t-mobile....

It fits tight and is not bulky like a lot of cases. Really soft leather and well made.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] DrX666:
I had the same problem. They sent me another one and it has the same problem... Bad choice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] cheese74:
Prufrock, this case looks similar to yours, except it opens to the right instead. Do you have any comments as to which side would work better for you given a choice?

Has anyone else tried these types of cases? Just wanted to get some feedback on it. It appears not to cover the keyboard with a plastic, which is something I'd prefer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] madman808:
I was looking at either the Seidio or this one:

http://www.talkietech.com/atti89alcabl.html

I'm currently using the leather case AT&T had in stock so I'm in no big rush. I just don't like belt clips and prefer to carry my phone in my pocket.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] MorKaiser:
Anyone use this case before?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Crystal-grey-ha...ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

What do you think of it??

I've used for my Blackberry 8800 and it protected it from multiple drops.

Anyone use it for their Kaiser?

EDIT* I've finished reading this massive thread and have come to the conclusion that a case is pure preference!!! Pick a case that fits your needs and enjoy your Kaiser!!!! Thanks for all the help everyone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] cornellfOo:
@mad: I have both cases.

Aluminum Case

pros: Metal offers good protection. Plastic screen protects the phone's screen.

cons: Affects reception! This was bad for me because I live in some marginal-service areas. It's bulky and less pocketable. Case made it difficult to open, slide, and use with one hand.

Seido Case

pros: Rubberized hard plastic has a good feel. Screen usable without opening. Very slim. Can use just like a kaiser w/o a case. Doesn't affect reception.

cons: Makes a slight "click" when the tilt slides to cover the keyboard. No screen protector.

All in all the Seido is the better of the two IMO. I personally don't want the plastic screen cover, so that's actually a plus for me. It's too much of a hassle to open the case to use the touch functionality.

This is the exact case I went with from day one. Of course, I've always been partial to Krussel and have been using them for years. They always impress me with the quality of their products. I still have an old Krussel case (more than seven years old now) that still looks brand new.

Why buy anything?

My advice is to just look around your house before rushing out to buy something. I did and I found at least 3 cases that were originally for other gadgets (rarely ever used now) that were quite adequate. My favorite is my old Delphi MyFi XM radio case - perfect as a holster!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] kyphur:
Here

is what I've done with the Noreve Case, Brodit/Proclipsusa Car Mount, Krusell Car mount and Krussel Swivel Belt Clip.

I'm so happy with the case that my oldest daughter has ordered the Light Purple Noreve Case and we will be doing the same thing in her car.

I would worry about any case that has a plastic sheet over the keyboard. There's already one member here who had the Krusell case break the spring mech behind the screen.

Even with the other models I would be worried about premature loosening of the slide but especially with the Kaiser as it has more going-on behind the screen (spring assist, tilt mech & SIM Socket). That is what I really like about the Noreve Case, I can use the keyboard without removing it and there is nothing jammed between the keyboard & screen. The fit is really unique amongst the Kaiser cases.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] drokkon:
Thanks for the review, Faxman. Based on that information, I ordered this generic case from ebayer "bundlestore." It fits great and I can't imagine more expensive models have any better quality - as someone said, it's all prefabbed in China anyway.

So I'll order the enlarged holster from Seido eventually, and I'll be all set. That, and of course my quest for the perfect car solution for my Mazda 3...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] carphead:
I'm really struggling to find the right case for my Tytn II. I ideally want a leather case which covers the screen but doesn't have plastic over the keyboard. Anything around like that?

I hate the idea of having something wedged in between the screen and the keyboard.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] carphead:
Thank Happy-S,

I've ordered one as well. At that price I don't mind having to cut it if it's got a plastic cover.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] carphead:
Cool is it any good Prufrock?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Prufrock:
I like it...does the job well, fits the phone well...allows me to answer the phone without having to get it out of the case. Also allows me to flip open the first cover to access the touchscreen without opening the whole case. If I want to use the keyboard, I just open the second cover and flip the front up. I can use the camera without opening the case up totally, too. The GPS isn't covered, either. Definitely one of the better designs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Faxman:
I agree 100%. My most used case. The manufacturer also indicate that they were designing one for the extended batteries. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] nimda0:
Why doesnt anyone on this site like "pouches"? They take just as much time to get the phone out (or less) than a normal tilt / kaiser case.... and look better.

I don't like big bulky cases, grab yourself an invisible shield for the TYTN II

It has a lifetime guarantee, and will stop any scratches or marks getting to your phones casing / screen.

I fit it to every phone i ever buy, and then you can throw it in your bag with your documents, keys etc and it will not get scratched, no hassle when it rings either!

I do! Well, kinda. When I'm at work in slacks I use a pouch, everywhere else its just the pocket.

This is the one I use now:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/cu..._images_0/105-9878626-5982827?ie=UTF8&index=0

Only because I work at a cell phone place, and we sell them here. Still, I'm pleased with it. It does stick out a little more then the 8125 case (thats the only other one i've used), but the clip is sturdy and the magnet is awesome. Theres also a pocket on the inside where I would keep a stylus (after losing the one on my Hermes). If you go down to customer images on that site, it actually has pictures with an 8525 or Tilt in there.

It works, it was cheap for me, build quality is excellent, and it looks nice. Palm should make more accessories.

Seidio Has my vote - It is compact, tough and secure

Just to weigh in on this, I have been using the Seidio Super Slim Rubberized Case with the Skinned Device Belt Clip for a few weeks now and LOVE IT. Yes it is a bit pricey but as someone who is both particular and hard on things like cases I must say that it is a nice combo.

My tilt is heald securly and fits snug aganst my body and the rubberzed case acctualy improves the feel and usablity of the device without increasing the bulk substiatively. True some cases might provide more protection but if you like to wear your device this is the way to go. I really hate cases that take a nice compact device and make it into an unweildy thing that needs to be carried in a breafcase or backpack aand I often forgo the protective case entirely and just use a belt pouch to avoid the extra bulk.

As a side note, the BELT CLIP (the part that acctualy attaches to the belt) is always a major concern for me as I tend to be REALLY hard on them. I was concered that this might be a problem with the Seidio Clip but I am very impressed with the durability and security of this design. I have not had it come off once accidentlaly and I don't see it breaking easaly either. tend to break belt clips and genneraly can't trust them for any but the tamest of acctivitys. I have enough confidence in my Seidio combo that I went out cutting firewood with my phone cliped to my belt, something that I normally only do with an heavy duty nylon pouch that is indistructable.

Anyway, just my 2 cents. Hope this helps someone. PS: PM me if you have any questions about this combo from the perspective of a hard use kind of user.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] SkunkyGwen:
Just got My HTC Tytn 2 Tradition leather case

Well, after a lot of searching, I finally settled on a particular case for my tilt. I got it here http://www.noreveusa.com/category/S...4550_-_HTC_Tytn_2_Tradition_leather_case.html.

I forgot to remember one IMPORTANT thing:

IF YOU HAVE THE EXTENDED BATTERY IN PLACE, THIS CASE WILL NOT WORK WITH THE TILT.

This would be the perfect case for me if it would take the larger battery so I am back to my Treo soft case until I can find a more suitable one to house the tilt along with its' 2700 battery. Bummer.

If anyone wants to buy the case from me, I'll sell it for $25 dollars. I paid like 80 with shipping (Got the overnight shipping...HEY, I was excited)

Anyway, I have yet to run across the mother of all cases which would incorporate safety, protection, convenience and allow for the larger batteries.

Bottom line, if you have the normal battery in your tilt, I HIGHLY recommend this case. If you have the LARGER battery, join the club. I did see a post on here where a hard case for the Treo might possibly work on the tilt with a little shaving off of the case to allow for the larger battery. This is my next step – to get the Treo hard case and see if I can alter it to house my tilt.

I've got the ATT Tilt..

and for it I've got the Krusell Orbit with Multiadapt, and CardHoldickit

I've also got the Boxwave Designio Leather Sleeve case

and I've got the Holster Clip as well.

I'm currently using/testing the Krusell now and I like it quite a bit, it offers a lot of protection but I don't care for the large flap that covers the phone, it's kind of awkward and I'm sure funny looking when talking on the phone with a big flap hanging around, but on the positive side the flap does have two spaces for mem cards and even a slot for credit/id and it protects the camera as well. You can fold down the back flap to take pictures, so it's a very protective case and still offers access to all buttons and there is a clear plastic covering for the keyboard. I do like the multi-adapt idea as well.

Both the Designio and Krusell have free spinning belt clips, I don't care for that too much, overall both are very well made though, it just depends what you want in a case.

Honestly out of the three I have I like the holster clip the best I think. I have the phone screen facing in/my hip for protection and it allows easy one-handed release of the phone, but yet holds the phone tightly

I have 2 cases that I use regularly with my Tilt. For a more rugged durable protection I use a Monaco aluminum swivel case. Quite heavy duty!

http://www.tiltdepot.com/monaco-aluminum-case/4A23A3294.htm

However most of the time I keep it in a swivel holster/housing made by Seidio. This is a great product.

http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=920

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] mrphatpat:
in ref to post 303 on the Capdase case.

I have one. great quality. fits beautifully. probably the best fit of a case you'll find.

my only problem is it does not have a belt clip. I use a detatchable lanyard to carry it. I work in a warehouse and its to bulky for my pocket. although I do put it in my cellphone pocket in my dickies quite often.

I also use the Monaco aluminum black case as well it is also fantastic. great fit, does add weight though. again my problem is the belt clip. it has one. a very god one very stable and strong. my problem is the nub on the back of the case is huge and does not allow you to set the phone down..its very awkward. so I took the nub off and bought a curve leather holster from a local Dollar Tree for 1 dollar and slide it in and out of there no prob.

hope this helps.
