Now that you have mention it ... The case is actually too thick to provide the screen tilting unobstructed ... but I have my fingers cross, for the designer will figure out a way .. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] mrpotts:
Hi All,

Would it be to much to suggest that the Kaiser is NOT just a phone. I more closely relate this device to my laptop and now consider it a partner of it. Much more, to me, than a phone. For the $850 I spent on the thing (stop laughing please:D ) I am not comfortable with the phone 'naked' when I am out of the house. But that's just me, no disrespect to your opinion SteinyD ;)

Cheers,

Phil

That's why my dream case is this one from Boxwave:

http://www.boxwave.com/products/armorcase/armor-case-htc-hermes_1266.htm

The phone can be used as a phone while it's still in the case, and the pda can be used as a pda by simply flipping the case open. Plus, it's made of aluminum, which I like, and doesn't have any magnets pressing against the screen.

I currently have a "leather" sleeve that's made for a Treo 650 that I picked up in Chinatown for five bucks. It fits great, but I don't like having to remove the phone from its case every time I get a call. At some point, I'm either going to:

1) miss a call while I'm fumbling around removing the phone

2) drop the phone in my haste to avoid #1

3) accidentally hit the "talk" button and answer a call I would have preferred to ignore

That's just me, though.

I ordered mine about a week and a half ago but got a response that it was an on-demand case and wouldn't be shipped for 12-15 days...so much for black being in stock.

If, by chance, you get your Noreve first, let us know if it's worth the investment. I'm hoping it lives up to the cost.

Well, I was stopped by their customer service, or more accurately their lack thereof.

Read below to see how my transaction ended-up:

I am suprised at how much of my e-mail Mr Burst didn't seem to understand (like that I am only a Mod here not the owner as he seemed to think or that I was not asking for any free shipping but merely suggested that it would have been prudent for the sales person to have tried to make the transaction right by upgrading shipping which is a common customer service practice).

So in all fairness, read my message and his reply then judge for your self.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] RemE:
Seems like a very cordial miscommuniction on both sides, they claim the Paypal glitch prevented them getting your "better" contact info. In the end, no harm, and you don't get a case.

I waiting on PocketSolutions to produce one of their "Signature" cases for the TyTN II. I had their 1st version for the 8525 and it was nice but the swivel was located on-center which allowed the phone to swivel upside down and it actually fell out, twice!! I wrote to them and they promptly sent me a re-designed case for free. I love it still. Their Signature Series is a vertical, Magnetic Flap style. The swivel button is nickel steel. This case is exactly what I want, clip to a belt, pop off and drop into car dash mount (theclip.com), open the flap and plug in the D/C adapter for Nav and Handsfree. This is the best all around model for me and it's due out in a few weeks hopefully.

My opinion, this one is great. I wish I would have seen it first before I bought a silicone case for my 8525.

This is it:

I dig the textured look. Been searching for one for my new Tilt but no luck yet. Soon I bet there will be tons of silicone available. It will come in handy when walking w/ GPS in pedestrian mode.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] UnicornKaz:
currently, there are none available for the TyTN II/Kaiser anywhere.

check those pictures again ... the front cutout are designed for the OLD TyTN/HTC Hermes ( camera droop to the right side..plus button openings...etc

... except for ONE place ... and they only sell it to those interested in re-distribution :(

AT&T is (in)famous for stripping stuff like that out of the package as they repackage phones in their own boxes. No printed manuals, no cases... BUT they will sell you a 'bundle' that includes an after market case, a cheap BT headset and an after market car charger - for $70.

I just updated the other thread about aluminium cases, but I'll jump in here too since there was confusion about the pictures on the websites not being correct, anyhoo.

Proporta have now released thier Vario III aluminium cases, I've used one for my old Prophet and my prophet after heavy use is totally new looking, while my case looks like a bomb shell.

When you look at the website you'll notice that all products for the Vario III dont show the correct images, in fact they show a different phone. I rang up Proporta and they explained that these are generic imges they use for products without new images to add. I expect they'll update the site soon, they confirmed that the case had definatley been released, and the model was correct. Mine got dispatched this morning and I'll update this thread when it arrives.

Krusell Horizon

Just my 2 cents on this one>>.

http://www.sfplanet.com/product/951...zon_SWide__Black__Black_with_Spring_clip.html

I am disappointed in this case. It is well made but it is so stiff it is almost unusable. The lid is hard to open all the way to get my phone in it while on my belt. The mag clip I also don't like. You have to hunt the right spot to get it to catch properly. I was hoping for a more soft bendable holster. :(

I bought this case last year for the 8125.

It is pretty good quality and has a pocket for SD cards. I didn't use it because of the bulkiness. But now I am using it for lack of a better option. Dang it... time to spend more money.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] hangyong:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] cornellfOo:
Ok. So far the top three to me are:

-The noreve case - available now

-boxwave slim case (i like the rubberized better than the leather one) - not avail yet

-siedo super slim hybrid - not avail yet (and not sure if it will be)

Can anyone comment on how "pocketable" these are? I'm not a big fan of the clip.

Also, does anyone have better pictures of the noreve case? From the site pictures, you can't even see the clip and whether it's removable or not!

[edit] found a video on the noreve site explaining the belt clip. Looks like the clip is removable. Link here

I had one of those aluminum cases for my old cingular 8125! it was a total waste of money. because the aluminum is so thin, it looses it's tight fit after a few drops.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] UnicornKaz:
waste of money ?? :eek:

I would say you got your money's worth & more !! lol

any case that saved your device from a drop , on more then one occasion ... it is money well spent !! :p

which is more ?? the $700+ device or the $30 case ??

ie:

~~~ I ride a motorcycle ... my helmet saved my life more then once ... I don't think I should go around complaining that the helmet is all lose and cracked now ~~ LMAO !! :D ...just once & I threw it away ... not suppose to use it after only once drop ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jgermuga:
If anyone has tried the noreva case, can you better explain

"Important : You must tilt the screen to insert the case ! Afterwards, all you have to do is insert the device horizontally from the top. "

I don't want to have to tilt the screen everytime I remove the phone from the case. Although it looks like you can get to all the phone functions while it is in the case, I think I would still want to take it out fairly often. It would be a pain if you had to tilt it everytime, not to mention the additional wear and tear on the hinge mechanism.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] UnicornKaz:
this is related to the plastic that covers the keyboard ..etc

Well, I know it probably sounds like nit-picking but I'm in an email dialog with NoReveUSA about the case I ordered. I questioning them on the contradictions between the product description and the email updates I've received. Specifically, the site's product description

and

contradict the email I got saying

unless they have a way to deliver it before it is shipped. And yes, I'm aware of the disclaimer at the end of the first quote. Like I said, I'm probably nit-picking because I think it should say "Black cases are normally in stock". I've just gotten way to spoiled to highly dynamic sites that have wording reflecting the true current status of an item. Besides, after kypher's little mishap, I want to make sure they're on top of their game before I give them a thumbs up.

I do have to say, though, that they respond pretty fast to inquiry emails. I'll post a summary when I get all my answers.

Just got my Piel Frama a few days back...

some comments:

1. The plastic sheet covering the keyboard, the tip (that goes under the screen of the Kaiser) is obstructed. Therefore, to close the phone 100%, the tip will be folded/crumpled.

2. the holder for the stylus is in a bad position.if Stylus is there, you will not be able to close the case properly as it is obstructed (although you can still close the case).

3. The corners where the plastic sheet it sewed onto the leather is open.

Other than the 3 comments above, its a darn good casing....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Droid8000:
Can anyone with a "horizontal" case tell me if the front cover would fold back all the way so that it's behind the kaiser?

I ask because I use my kaiser in a car holder for GPS (the type where you squeeze the holder to grip the kaiser at left and right).

I'd prefer a horizontal case, but a vertical one may fold better.

Anyone tried either with a similar car holder?

Thanks

Wallet Case

I just ordered this case http://cgi.ebay.com/For-HTC-Tilt-89...Z020QQcategoryZ15036QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemt from eBay. It's not the BEST case, in terms of quality I'm sure (I doubt if it is leather even, and certainly not beautiful like the Piel Frama), but I chose it because of the zippered wallet included. I want to try carrying my ID and credit card, insurance card, etc., with the phone. I rarely forget my phone, but I too frequently forget my wallet. I realize this is a bit of a "man purse" but it may be just the thing for me, we shall see.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] charleslee:
if only this comes without the belt clip attached. else it'll look like a good alternative for me!!

cept, not sure if its pocket-able with the attached purse.

a nice design would be something like this, but the user have the option to detach the wallet/purse from the phone holder compartment, and attach it back after use. (plus the belt clip should be detachable too..)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] hollowground:
Ive got a simple magnetic flap holster from Incipio for the time being. It will be replaced the moment Boxwave releases a leather snap case or an active case (same as the leather snap case only without the leather look exterior and with a crystal clear plastic instead) or our units. Well actually if it still fits the holster somhow with the casing on it I will still use it for normal use along with the boxware case.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] wildorchid:
After reading this forum I ordereed the Novere leather case. At first I was impressed. It is made very nicely and fits the Kaiser well. Obviously these folks know how to work with leather. Opening the keyboard works great. The clip seemed very good as well and it looked like it is impossible to loose the Kaiser with this Novere case. The case stays horizontally in the clip which is what I wanted.

I've been wearing it for 4 days now and last night entering a restaurant, bang, the Kaiser drops to the floor. The little screw that fixes the metall button to the case got loose and the case dropped to the floor with the metall button still remaining inside the clip on the belt.

I've inserted the screw again using a little super glue and hope it stays on now.

Anybody had a similar experience?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] charleslee:
oh, i thot the Novere were not in stock yet? say, without the belt clip, is it as slim as what their websites photo shows? is it easily pocketable?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] JC#79:
Just to add my 2 cents worth, I have both the PDair leather & aluminium case & both are spot on depending on how you want to carry the device.

I prefer to have my device in my trouser pocket so the leather case is bulky due to the magnetic clip but with the aluminium case there is no such issue so it's either or depending on how you prefer to carry your device.

As for the pictures of the Novere leather case it appears to be exactly like the PDair just with different branding, the quality appears to be the same. Unlike some of the pictures shown for the other leather cases the PDair plastic keybord cover only goes part way so does not bunch up when the flip closes shut.

The only thing I would have like to have seen on the aluminium case would have been a non slip coating for the underside of the case so when u rest it on dash board or keyboard it does not slide off so easily.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] snooginsguy:
You could try these on the back of the case:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] RemE:
I need a case that clips to my belt and easily snaps off for car use. I have found the PDair case to work really well. I was concerned about it's quality from the previous posts but it's a really well designed and decent case. Things that I did;

1 - I didn't use their swivel belt clip, I had a better one from a Nokia. I used a car vent clip holder kit from theClip.com which came with a better and lower profile swivel button. I affixed that button to the PDair case with a 4mm flat head screw from my local hardware store. I used a drop of super glue to lock the theads and a small drill to put a divit in the button for the belt clip lock. This isn't all required but gave me a lower profile button and the security of a steel fastener.

2 - I attached the vent clip mount to my car's A/C vent in a few seconds.

3 - I use a simple car charger plugged in while driving and use a BT Jawbone headset. The phone is on the dash and easy to see and operate.

This setup is quick and easy, hop in the car, snap off the phone and hang it in the dash without fooling with the case. The case allows full access to the tilt keyboard and all buttons. Edit 12/27/2007 So far after 6 weeks, the case shows no wear at all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] wildorchid:
Yes it is slim, about 1mm. The bottom and side parts that hold the kaiser are hard case, the top that protects the screen is soft.

Novere replied to my complain about the screw getting loose:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] ChefChaudart:
I also get this one, and I like it, BUT ;

- the belt clip is not firm enough, sometimes when I sit down it ejects itself !

- the clip of the case sometimes open up itself when I try to hang the phone. (quite dangerous)

- no space to get access to external GPS antenna.

Otherwise, the quality is good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] synthetik909:
I think this case would be the most perceft case for the TYTN II. I would perfer it to nit have the texture on it but other than that it looks great! Ive heard some bad things about the plastic keyboard cover on the pielframa one. Issues like cracking and tearing being the most troublesome and it makes it a pain to get in and out of the case which i dont see being much of an issue since thats the point of a case like that right? :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] ChefChaudart:
I have no problem at all with this plastic cover. Even though I was very suspicious about the principle.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] charleslee:
Hmm, I thought the Novere cases doesnt have that plastic over the keyboard? from the website pictures, it sure doesnt look like it has..
