Will I be able to put kaiser with the screen&buttons oriented in the other position as in the photo?

I usually hear audiobooks and I need the front buttons to be accesible for pausing, skipping...

I supose that usb connection gets accessible too... isnt it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] seidioseidio:
The holsters came in a little earlier than expected and are shipping now. I'll make sure the website is updated.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] seidioseidio:
I measured the clip and it should fit a 1 1/2" belt without a problem.

Thanks

I received e-mail shipping notification this morning from Seidio on my order for their holster.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jbilbo:
e-mail received yesterday afternoon about my order being shipped. I'm in Alabama so not sure how long it will take to get the package. I guess its coming from Houston? Thats where the HQ is...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jomo25:
I took the plunge. I just ordered one of the Seidio rubberized holster, along with the 1600mA battery.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] pepeto2001:
could you please tell if you can put your kaiser with front buttons accesible (screen visible) in that holster when it arrives?

Got my Seidio holster!

Woohoo! Just got my Seidio holster in the mail. I was little skeptical of the price tag, but now that it's in my hand, I have to say it's much better than the cheap-o holsters. Rubberized coating is much better than I thought it could be, and the craftsmanship is top-notch. I don't still know that's it's $30 good, but it's definitely $20 or even $25 good.

The big news for those wondering is that the holster CAN hold the phone face-out. HOWEVER, it doesn't hold it quite as well because the front-to-back slope of the phone is different. It's minor, but I'll post pictures later today so you all can make your own decisions probably in a new thread dedicated to a Seidio review.

As for accessibility in face-out, the ExtUSB plug and mic are covered, as well as half the camera button (you can still press it with your fingernail if you need to). In addition, the bottom corners wrap around and cover the edge of the Start and OK buttons by less than a millimeter. However, I don't think the Start, OK, and camera overlaps can accidentally push the buttons. There doesn't appear to be any structural reason for the overlaps, so you can Dremel if you really want to (and consequently screw up the fine rubberized finish). :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jbilbo:
Sweet news! Thanks for the report.

Now when is my holster going to get here.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] TiltedAz:
They must be shipping from the east coast. :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] NuShrike:
Now just waiting for a rubberized/crystal hybrid case and a holster to go with it like the iPhone!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jomo25:
Awesome news! Thanks for the report BennTech!

I still wonder if enough people clamor for it, would Seidio be willing to make one specifically for face out usage?

I know a Seidio person reads these, so, if so, would you consider it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] amg212:
Just got mine in NJ today. Outstanding build, beautiful fit. When the phone is put in with the top aligned with the clip (as I believe it is supposed to me) there is no problem getting to the USB port. All side buttons are completely accessible.

Seidio Case received

I just recieved an e-mail confirming that my case was shipped... unfortunately I am out of town on business. As far as the quality goes, I think Seidio is probably the best with the holsters from my experience with a variety of holsters for the 8525 (Hermes). If anyone has gotten their holster for the Kaiser and has pictures, please post for us to see. I cant wait to check it out when I get back!

PS- I guess Seidio started shipping before the pre-order date on the site (11/19)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jbilbo:
Got mine today. Thank you Seido for a quality product! I didn't expect that I could use a thin skin (like InvisibleSHIELD) and still use the holster (included instructions make note of this). Now I got to figure our which one works best!

Note: The website does mention that this holster is meant for un-skinned Tilts which contradicts the instructions I received in the box.

Thanks for the review, I ordered one based on it. I also saw they added it to their web ste.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] TheFuzz:
Just received my Seidio case today! This is exactly what I was hoping for. Buying the right case is so very subjective, but for me it is perfect. It has a very secure feel when the phone is clipped into the case. There is very little chance of it falling out. In fact the only way it could is if you inadvertently hit the spring loaded clip. The clip itself is very well made and has just the right amount of tension for keeping the phone secure. It clips easily onto your belt and keep the phone in a very neutral position. The belt clip rotates 90 degrees in both directions for horizontal carry. The interior part of the case, which is where the face of the phone would be resting is lined with heavy felt. More than enough to protect the phone. I would worry somewhat about it wearing out over time. The look of the case is matted black, definitely not shiny in any way.

All in all, this is an outstanding case, very well made and durable. Perfect match for those who want to carry the Tilt/Kaiser on their belt.

Also, I have the full body protection Invisibleshield on my device and this does not in any way interfere with the usefulness of the case. In fact, the rear shield adds a bit of glossy finish to the phone, so, it looks kind of cool in the case on your belt! At least that is my opinion.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] pepeto2001:
do you think it is possible to make some modifications to seidio holster for making it fully functional with buttons always visible?, maybe cutting the plastic for the usb port to be accessible, a little sand dows in the back part where the camera is located...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] DancherBoi:
I am in the software development field. When anybody asks me if something is possible, my answer is always "Yes, anything is possible." But I always follow that up with..."If you have the right talent, money and time."

That being said, I have tried unsuccessfully before to modify a hoster for a different phone. I had money (to buy a new one after I screwed up the original). I had time. But was missing talent.

That being said, I have found it best practice to keep away from altering products so I find the product that best suits my needs assuming I will be living with it unaltered. You really have to look at the overall usefulness of the buttons you want exposed while still in the holster. For example, it's really not beneficial to have the camera button accessible while the device is in the holster because you are either blocking the lens or the screen depending on which way you have your device in the holster. The only caveat to that is if you have your camera button re-mapped to another function that makes more sense for it to be used while in the holster.

Fantastic Case

I just ordered this too:

http://www.seidioonline.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=871

Looks like a fantastic case. Just hope the clip keep the case as close to the body as possible. Sick and tired of those geeky looking things that dangle off of you like some sort of embarrasing appendage!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] homegeek:
After reading the reviews and watching the video review I have decided to try the holster. I hope this one is better then the Krussell case I tried.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] midyatspor1000:
Here is what I did with my Seido Holster, I wish that the Tilt had a notch on the back side of the battery cover so that perhaps the holster's would snap in there and wouldn't require a spring. Anyway, I thought that the top portion of the holster was too bulky. I modified it a little, what do you all think?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] homegeek:
Does it make it harder to get out of the holster?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] midyatspor1000:
not really, it's pretty easy, you could norrow the top portion without taking of the lip.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] TiltedAz:
I'd guess that mod will make the spring loaded latch flimsier.

One change I'd prefer would be a more comfortable belt clip, like my blackberry for work. A bit wider and less protrusion into the belt/hip so there's slightly less potential pressure per square inch so to speak.

Seidio Review with Pics

Finally got my review done with pics, available in this thread. Sorry it took so long, but I spent some extra time on the pictures so potential buyers could make an informed decision. Enjoy!

Cool mod, midyatspor1000! Don't think I'll make my latch narrower, but I might follow your lead and round over the tab a bit to reduce accidental openings (read my review--yikes!).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] bnycastro:
how do you attach it to your belt? clip on or loop?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] BennTech:
This has turned into a Seidio holster discussion, but following thompson's original post, this orginally started out with a post about a horizontal holster from Wireless Galaxy. Well, folks, yesterday I finally got the horizontal holster (it's actually a Wireless Solutions product).

All my above assumptions from the photo were accurate. The most notable is that the clips do indeed fit between the screen and phone, and thus, the Wireless Solutions holster allows slide-out keyboard access! In fact, unlike the Seidio, you have full access to every button and port!

Unfortunately, first impression of the holster is that it's crap. Feels cheap compared to the Seidio (but then again, it is cheap compared to the Seidio). :) The worst thing is that the tabs that allow keyboard access also pry the phone apart to an alarming degree. It's so bad that I keep my screen slid open about 2mm while it's holstered. Also, despite what I thought about horizontal holsters being easier to insert/remove, this one is not. It almost requires 2 hands to remove. For insertion, I always have to double-check that it's properly seated before removing my hand.

Besides the full button/port access, the only positive thing I can say about this holster is that they did a better job on the beltclip than Seidio. Both holsters have a similar wheel design, but Seidio's has raised ridges and side stiffners that scratch your belt, while this holster's wheel is smooth and rounded.

I'll do a full review with pics similar to my Seidio review in about 2 weeks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Bronx31:
I went to the Att store around my way and to my surprise, they had the exact same one, for $19.99. I went on and purchased it, since my Mogul holster I was using broke the same day. It works preaty well. the plastic is kinda of thin, but it holds the phone Damn well... I'm sure that it was made to put the phone in screen out. The way it turns on your belt is askward to me, the screen when turned on is facing the opposite way, but I think it's b/c of the keyboard being able to slide out, which works most beautifully by the way. I'm glad i purchased it. I've had it about a week, and have yet have the phone come out(knock,knock)..You can even take out the stylus, and have access to all ports. When the kb is out in the holster, I have NO problem typing whatsoever. I would highly recommend this. I have fat fingers, and work delivering bread, so I hit it alot. NO PROBLEMS!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Bronx31:
PS... I still wont buy it from the website, I have yet to receive my refund from them!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] BennTech:
I wouldn't recommend buying from Wireless Galaxy either.

I bought mine from them on Nov. 5 before your cancellation post, but bought it knowing the horrible reviews of Wireless Galaxy...I figured it was only $15. Unlike you, I got confirmation e-mails within a few minutes. No mention of backorder on website or e-mails. They took my money that same day, too.

Nearly 4 weeks passed with no delivery. I e-mailed on Nov. 29 asking where my holster was and they responded Nov. 30, saying "Your package has been processed and shipped on 11/30/2007". So, either (1) I very coincidentally e-mailed exactly when they happened to get a shipment of an item that they never said was backordered, or (2) they took my money and then proceeded to sit on their asses.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] BennTech:
LOL...I misread that and thought you had said "I'm not sure that it was made to put the phone in screen out." That got me thinking and sure enough this holster works face-in as well, gripping on the first hump behind the screen. Holds pretty solid, too. Only problem is that the top tab presses the OK button when it's face-in.

Great...Now I have to mod that tab and try to add some super-thin protective felt like the Seidio, plus get pictures of it all face-in and face-out and modded like my Seidio holster review...<sigh>
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Bronx31:
Didn't realize it pressed the ok button.. I use it face out. I just read my post again, and I see what you mean,,LOL

Boxwave Armor Case - The Metal Case (Black)

I bought the Armor Case from Boxwave and I love it.

You can clip it to your belt if you want to (or leave off the screw plug, and its just a case). You can view the screen while it is closed. When you open the case, you have access to everything without removing it (e.g., the tilt keyboard will still slide out and tilt; you can get to the stylus; charge it; take pictures, etc). The front keypad is also exposed for use while closed.

Love love love it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] bnycastro:
I use the PDair Aluminum Case [Black as well] which is very similar to the Boxwave [actually I suspect BW has PDair as their manufacturer hehe] faster and since it ships out of HKG worldwide for free with almost the same price [I live in the Philippines] then I got a cheapo [PhP 150.00 aprox USD 3.57] horizontal belt case that fits a SE P990i which fits the TyTN mark II in the Alum case.

Sedio holster and accidental clip release ATT leather case..

The holster looks nice but to me it looks as though that clip it just begging to get snagged/bumped on something and release the phone...(((CRASH :eek: ))) I watched the video and saw the pics and even though it seems to take some finger force to release it I have believe body forces in motion are what make these types of accidents happen..at least to me :cool: . I was wondering if anyone has has that happen :confused: ( hopefully without the fatal crash thing). Plus it does not look like the bottom of the case overlaps the phone enough to prevent it from falling out if say you happen to lean on the clip unknowingly. Of course if it did overlap too much the buttons would be covered...perhaps a strategically placed additional retainer would have insured against it from falling completely out...woulda, coulda, shoulda!

All the other clip type holsters I have had for various phones inevitably released my phone by accident. Thus I have steered clear of such holsters. Like most people I have to much to think about other than bumping/brushing into something during the course of a normal day. And unlike the Kaiser my other phones didn't cost me big $$$$ !!!

Also the back will take a beating which can be easily replaced but would make the phone look less than "cool" in the meantime :mad: ...I think I'm talking myself out of this idea already!!

The included case from HTC is good for now, I also had the ATT leather case, which was nice till the leather stitching fell out of one side!!!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] BennTech:
fizzie, you're talking about the Seidio holster, not the Wireless Galaxy holster, right?

The bottom part of the Seidio holster more than adequately holds the phone, even with the Start/OK mods in my Seidio review. The real problem is the tab accidentally opening, as you indicated. Since the incident in my review, I have had 2 more accidental pop outs. One of them knocked my Kaiser completely out and it fell to floor. :eek: Fortunately, the floor was only a few inches away because I was under my desk messing with wires at the time. Whew!

And this whole accidental opening thing is what's so funny about all the face-in advocates (including Seidio themselves) who are opposed to my ideas of making the Seidio holster reversible. They're so obsessed with face-in protecting the screen that they refuse to even acknowledge that a few minor design changes could make the Seidio holster fully reversible. I guess the very idea of using the Seidio holster face-out is sacrilegious to them. Yet if they really want protection, they shouldn't be using a holster! I mean, let's face it, whatever could potentially press/scrape against the screen could just as easily press/scrape against the holster's tab and send the phone crashing to the floor, which would be far more damaging than a little scratch on the screen. Plus there's the wear and tear you mentioned because over half the phone is exposed.

In contrast, a leather pouch offers much better protection without the risk of accidental popout. But with leather pouches I end up accidentally pressing buttons when I'm fumbling to pull out my phone and inevitably send important calls straight to voicemail. With a holster, I don't have that problem. Plus the holster is faster on the draw--even faster than the releasable clip found on some leather/metal cases.

So ultimately what you're really getting with a holster is not protection, but convenience. Say, you know what would be really convenient? A face-out holster! Oh, great...here comes the face-in zealots with their "Face-in protects the screen" mantra. :) (In all fairness, I have to reiterate from other posts that most of the time I use my Seidio holster face-in to protect my screen, too, but also like to flip my phone face-out for accessibility.)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Crazy Turk:
I came to ATT from the nextel world and face-in is how all their holsters work... I like the face in idea, especially because the speaker is on the back of the phone, so it would be easier to hear with a screen in clip... I went to FRY's last night, not a single viable option for a holster... I'll have to keep looking around
[General Questions and Answers] AverageJanitor:
I'll try to make this quick.

So my current phone had a hardware defect. I called up T-Mobile and they had sent out a replacement phone for me. All I had to do was receive the phone and change my battery into it and that's all. Then ship back my original phone and that's it. So the phone got here. I put it in my car since I was on my way to work. I go out to smoke on break and it's gone out of my car. We checked the cameras over here at work and we couldn't see anything. So my question is how do I go about this with T-Mobile? Do I tell them what happened and that someone stole the replacement? I didn't even open the box. My major worry is that I will be charged the full price of the phone. I honestly have no idea what to do. All help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
You will most likely be charged. There is only one way to avoid it but like you said the cameras show nothing. Without any evidence there is nothing you can do.
[General Questions and Answers] AverageJanitor:
Even if it were stolen from my car? That's horrible, so now I have to pay them back. And not get my replacement.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Well see that is the problem. You would have to prove it was stolen from your car. Like you said the cameras didnt show anything so there is no proof. You will still get to keep the replacement but they will most likely charge you full retail for it.
[General Questions and Answers] AverageJanitor:
God this is going to be crappy. But yeah, it is understandable. Just my luck that nothing was seen.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph03n!x:
I tried this in my phone. While the command itself worked after a bit of a tweak, the storage situation was pathetic - the phone showed the External SD as a part of the overall storage, but did not save files to it. Instead, it started saving files to the actual internal SD Card, resulting in space running out pretty soon. The External SD card was just there, and there was no way to migrate the files from the internal storage to the adoptable storage.
