I decided to round up all of the cases for the HTC Universal for reference:
Piel Frama (1 case... also available on Expansys as the "Chairmans Case")
- http://www.pielframa.com/imate_jasjar.htm
PDair (2 cases, both with belt clips)
- http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/7749.htm
- http://www.pdair.com/scripts/main/viewitem.php?itemid=1998&pdaid=190
XaX (2 cases)

- http://www.expansys-usa.com/product.asp?code=125869
- Nutshell
http://www.tuff-as-nuts.com/209-210.html#
I have ordered the XaX cases with the intention of sending one back... I will post a full analysis with lots of pics.... it's sad that there are not a lot of pics around of these two !
BTW, here's a nice review of the Proporta case...
http://www.clieuk.co.uk/execbookcase.htm
Thanks for the summary - very useful indeed. I'm looking for something like the Piel Frama or Xax (2) case but the keyboard must NOT be covered - which I believe it is with both of these, although it is hard to tell from the photos.
I have found another case by Krusell which looks quite good:

Sold here:

Anyone got one?
Mods:
Should this be in accessories ?
Sorry...
@page 3:
Wow... the Krusell one looks pretty good !
Hole for ear... belt clip... window for screen... Hmmmmm.... !
The only thing its missing is elastic stretchy sides to block the SD card from falling out while still being able to open the case.
case
i like the krussel or the xax #1.
am interested in feedback on the xax, as I really just want something simple to make the carrying of it easier. if I need it, i just want to take it out of the case entirely, then when finished put it back. most cases are designed to keep it inside the case. i think the clam design prevents the need for a protective permanent case, so something to make it easier to carry it would be handy.
But yes, the krussel looks good if I felt it needed protection...
So any feedback on the Xax 1 would be good, and if any body does by the krussel, let us know.

I've had the XAX 1 for about a week now and it's just what I was looking for. Like you, Simon, I was also interested in just something to carry the Universal as I prefer to take it out completely to use it. The XAX 1 certainly does the job.
The magnetic closures make it very easy to take it out of the case and put it away. The fit is not too tight to make it difficult to remove and replace but tight enough to feel secure. It's not going anywhere. And it may seem a small thing, but I also like that the magnets make the removal and replacement of the Universal into a silent operation without zipping or velcro or snaps to announce what you're doing. It's not a big deal, but it was a nice little bonus.
The concern I had with this case was the belt clip since it is an actual clip and not anything that locks in place. My previous "belt" cases with other PDAs had the locking type clips. This one just hooks on to the belt, but it feels very secure. There seems to be no question of it slipping off of a belt and I've even used it just hooked on to jeans (without them falling down, despite the Universal's weight!) when not wearing a belt. I can see where there is more of a chance that it could come unhooked when just on jeans like that, but I haven't had that happen yet.
One advantage to the locking clips was the ability to allow the case to swivel which this one does not have. After using it though, I like the horizontal orientation and now prefer that it doesn't swivel actually. I don't have to take the case off or swivel it around every time I sit down.
I'm planning to eventually get the PDAir (most likely) for times when I want the Universal protected even while in use, but I would only use that in certain environments where I was worried that it might get damaged if taken out completely. Most of the time I plan to use the Xax.
I am not sure I get how the Xax 1 works.
Is it like a holtster, where you just slide the JasJar in?
What is the magnetic closure for, is that a tab that closes over the top opening?
How are the sides protected?
Care to post some pictures?
I'm at work, so I can't post any pictures right now (they probably wouldn't be all that happy that I was positng in the first place, but hey, it's lunch!)
It is like a holster and the JJ just slides in. As you suspected there is a leather tab that goes over the top to help protect and hold it in (though the fit is tight enough that I don't think holding the JJ in is really all that necessary.) It doesn't go completely across the top, but leaves room on one end so that you can use the headphone jack while it's in the case (as long as you put the JJ in it with the camera facing out.) Beyond that, the top is protected. There is leather on both sides, so they are protected as well. On the bottom, there's a large cut out in the middle that allows you to push up on the JJ to take it out more easily as well as two other small cut outs for the speakers.
I'll try to see if I can get some pics together later tonight.
Hi everyone,
I got the XaX #2 case today (the magnetic snap one, NOT the belt clip) and well... it's not that great.
First of all, the Jasjar won't fully close when it's inside... the leather strip that holds down the keyboard gets in the way of the screen. I've tried a bunch of different positions, and no dice.
Also, the camera hole is uncovered, but the earpiece is not so you can't use the phone when the case is closed.
The magnetic snap is nice and strong though, and the leather is of good quality.
However, in terms of functionality, it's not that great. I'll post pics later.

So I guess XaX may have a hit and a miss with their two cases. Thanks for passing that along because I think that is a concern.
I've wondered if the Piel Frama case will have the same "closing" issue. In some of the pictures on their website it looked like the JJ may not have been all the way closed. I had one of their cases for a Dell Axim 5 and it was of very high quality but the "closing" question concerns me.
I'd love to hear from anyone who gets a Piel Frama.
Same here. I am interested in the Piel Frama case or the Krusell. Both look pretty nice and seem to have the proper cut outs for all buttons and such. Just wondering which one seems to fit the device better.
I am currently using the case that came with the iPaq 5500 series. This fits the XDA Exec perfectly and is ideal if you want to use the case for storing the Exec and taking it out of the case for use.

I have received my Pielframa case a couple of days ago. The Pielframa does not have a closing issue. Also it fits perfectly. Besides that it does not use a plastic 'pouch'. That is terrible. I owned a Qtek 9090 which the case also had a plastic 'pouch' to cover the keyboard. It is a dust collector. My keyboard got very dirty and I could not get the stain away. Luckily Pielframa did not use this design.

Just want to confirm 100% before ordering the Pielframa case - you are saying that the keyboard is NOT covered by any plastic? It isn't clear from the photo. Thanks.

Thanks for giving an update! That's good news that the Piel Frama doesn't have the closing issues that was found with the XaX 2 case. I know how well PF cases are made, so I may have to get one of these (or at least put it on a gift wish list!) since I find I like to use different cases depending on circumstances.
How does it feel in terms of added bulk? It seems designed to be on the device most if not all of the time, so I wondered how it really feels when used every day?
Take a look at this one: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/7866.htm
seems reasonalbly priced
One thing though..........
Click on larger image.
first pic you see is the belt clip side
click the next pic and where you would expect to see the closing flap thingy, you see a plain flat side!?!?
Am I missing something?

I don't understand that either. Where did the flap go?
I'm supposed to be getting pictures together (having regular PC issues at home) so I can show the XaX 1 in use, but the general construction looks similar to the one in the link, but the XaX has a bigger flap. And it doesn't hide anywhere either!

Yes, it is not covered by any plastic.
The case does make it feel more 'bulky'. In the daily usage you could leave the it in case without the need of taking it out. I can answer the phone by not having to open the case. Of course you do need to open it to be able to make a phone call.
I have a black htc p3600 that is great, everything except the fact that it is a fingerprint magnet. Am I the only that finds himself constantly cleaning their device? I put some egrips on the side of the device and they turned out really nice, they give you that extra grip. I love the black finish but am becoming obsessed with alcohol squares in my pocket for my phone.
switch colours..,,
Too long a tale... I ended up returning my black Trinity to the store, just to find that only white ones remained availble at the time. I decided to keep one for a few days until blacks where available. Finally I stay with the white one, happy enough: no fingerprints, no peeling, quite happy!
I bought a white one because of the paint peel and the finger print problem. I have a Nintendo DS that has exactly the same issue.
The glassy look seems to be in at the minute and finger prints is the price we pay for the trendy look.
I ended up putting my trinity in a silicon cover because i developed a grip problem in my hand. Now I've no problem with the finger prints and stuff. - An ok solution as long as you dont mind camoflaging your PDA in the next best thing to a condom
The silicon covers are a great product, cut just nice for all the important access holes and the button shappes are well replicated. I ended up slightly enlarging the jog dial hole though.
I still hate the greasy marks on the scren though, particularily after a lot of phone use!!
As the dog is dead, the bark stops.
Sillicon may be a solution, but only in the way of keeping the Trinity value for a resell,,, it's like having a Ferrari and keeping it covered to avoid paint scraps..... Com'n!, Some things are designed to be exhibited! I-pods, Ferrari, Trinitys.... stick with Siemens phones otherwise.....
Hi,
Excuse me but a pdaphone is not a piece of moderne art, it's an electronic device...with a lot of coms and software utilities... It might be a lot beautifull but not to venerate like a catholic icone...
Personnaly, i use a Piel-frama leather cover for shock preventing and that's all. Il like my 3600 for wath it make for me and not for it looks like...
silicon skin case
i always use silicon skin case as i change my phone evry two month i like to keep it clean for resell lol
I originally bought the silicon cover because i have MS and have a grip problem with my left hand, the silicon cover sorts the prob.
Before I purchased it, i found myself giving it a wipe now and again. I even used alcohol wipes too.
Yes its a phone / PDA and thats what we bought it for. BUT why cant it look good as well!!!!
I used to walk around with a brick of an XDAIIi to my ear and took some serious stick. So now I've got a half decent looking phone that works well - hapy days!!!
The clear silicon cover only takes a wee bit of the look off, but its worth it for the function - keeping it clean, gripable and unscratched ready for sale when I upgrade next.
The Piel frama cover - good piece of kit.
I put it in my pocket and walking around rubs it clean, ha ha
I tend to destroy my pdas. no resale for me
wear a glove to hold ur Trinity ! haha! just joking.
i usually will use a microfibre cloth to clean my Trinity, works well to take away the fingerprints and oily surface.
I use monster iClean to clean it, and use an ipod sock when i put it on my pocket.
No pun intended...

Not icon-centric, but I know people trashing 500€ worth of electronics every 6 months just for keeping the phone "free" in the same pocket as keys, coins, etc.
On the other hand, I myself am the type that keeps every plastic bag coming in the shipping box for months.
However, when I got my Trynity, it has been the first HTC device in a long time (it's my 10th HTC device) that I can show to friends and not looking just a "friky". Trinity is a lot on the i-pod side, this is what I meant (not for the catholic icons....)
Piel frama enclosures, as the one shipping on the Himalaya.. (anyone here remembers?) made me feel ..... well, strange, with about half a pound of a gadget in my ear.... Bluetooth stack never worked well in the original model.
My grain of salt: carry whatever you like, but being shiny and clean at the same time is near impossible. So.... enjoy the envious gazings at your Trinity until the i-phone comes out!
emobileinhand.com has teamed up with Amazon and they're selling the Seidio Innocase for $24.85 shipped. I added Priority shipping and the total was $26.85. I bought my first Innocase from them but I got wasted on St. Patricks Day and broke it. The phone is fine, thank God.
The Seidio Innocase is hands down, THE BEST case for the Kaiser. The holster (strongly recommended) really keeps the device safe.
Right now, I'm using my Boxwave as a backup. I like it, but the belt clip forces you to wear it with the screen facing out which could lead to damage.
This is a great deal.
http://emobile-in-hand.amazonwebstore.com/search.htm?keyword=B0012Y4IQA
I have this case and imo its overpriced crap. The thing rarely stays on all the way. It seems there's always a corner or something to press down on again to get it to stay on it.
If you want a nice case cheap, just buy a cheapy. I bought one off Amazon for less than $5 and it stays on all the time never have to worry about it at all. The only difference is the holster and finish. The Seido has a nicer feel to it due some coating they put on it. And the holster for the cheapy is one of those screw on job's.
But hey if you want to spend $20 on a coating for something that will fall off, go ahead its on sale!!
Satisfied
I've used it for 2 weeks now and it stays on, feels great on hand, and haven't found any peeling of the rubberized layer.
I used to put on PDAir Aluminium for my SE M600 and it also go roughed up. So you can imagine my usage habit and this Seidio performs beyond my expectation.
Yea, I dunno man, I never have had a problem with my Seidio. You just have to make sure you have it on correctly. The boxwave is a very close second though. I wish Boxwave had a holster similar to Seidio's.
The great thing about the Boxwave is that it has a "notch" for the reset hole so it's almost impossible to miss and end up messing up your USB port.

I don't know how someone could fit it on incorrectly. It only goes on one way and its pretty obvious which way that is.
My biggest problem w/the case is that if i slide that keyboard out it will knock off the bottom hinges.
IMO its not a secure case. Is it designed well as far as all the little notches and slots? Yes. Does it feel nice in your hand? Yes. Does it look nice? Yes. Is it worth more than $5? No.
Is this really much different to the 'crystal cases' that you can buy from the markets and crack after a week in your pocket?
Dont u dare!
Dont even think about buying this pathetic case. after much debate i bought this hoping it would protect my kaiser. i spent a week looking for the perfect case, went through everything i could find. i received the case, it snapped on easily, i hardly had an issue with the little hinges, the case lasted me a good 18 months. the rubberised outside is a nice touch, imo the phone doesnt look good with the case, but i stuck with it coz it protects your phone, right? well not quite. what the assholes at seidio dont tell you is that yeah they've rubberised the outside but done nothing inside the case. its plastic, which means after a couple of months you start to accumulate **** inbetween the case and the outside of the fone. ordinarily it might not be a problem, but if like me the fone spends most of its time in the back pocket, in bags etc then any grainy kind of crap between a plastic cover and a kaiser = ? you guessed it, major dents, scratches, gouges etc. i didnt check the phone for a good 3 months after i put the cover on, when i took it back off my phone looked like id rolled it down a hill and then threw it back up again. its ruined my kaiser and now i cant sell it on unless i buy another housing and put it on myself. it may be error on my part assuming that a protective case protects the outside of your fone, i dont know. this is my experience of this ****ty case, take it or leave. i think you'd be better off buying the cheapy crystal ones, coz then atleast you can see when your phone needs cleaning and you dont end up ruining it.
sorry for going on and on.
paradoox
Thanks for your feedback paradoox,
anyone else have similar long term reports?
On a separate note, i found out that Boxwave do a very similar (nearly identical) case and holster. Anyone handled both the Seidio and Boxwave for a comparison?
yep thats pretty much what i thought

I had a similar experience as paradoox, bought it, thought it looked crap but left it on to protect fone, few weeks later discovered one of the little little tabs holding the top half of the case on snapped so it wouldn't stay on.. this is when i found scratches and dents under the case too. imo ... the case is just too expensive for how it performs... better to go thu 3 cheapies i think..
It all depends on your usage and carry habit.
I carry my phone on a leather pouch on my belt, with the Seidio snuggly fit on it, so it won't slip whatsoever.
It does make sense that some grits, etc. will get under the case, but I just opened it up 1-2 weeks ago and found nothing. Remember, I live in Jakarta, taking public buses and lots of fumes, dust, etc. around the air.
Of course it has to be also counted that I rarely open my phone in public (dusty, windy area) mainly for security reasons. I don't flaunt my belongings. I worked in an office building, and the phone is often out, but it's a clean environment.
Again, YMMV. For someone who wants no dust, I read somewhere there's a waterproof case for Kaiser ..
For my use, Seidio works great.
One of the main reasons I picked the defy was it's ruggedness, because I do potentially dangerous sports, but obviously there are limits to that ruggedness, and if you take a fall or something likely to break the phone, it may well have broken you - and a working phone comes in kind of handy at that point
So... with that in mind, can anyone recommend any decent hard cases? I thinking more along the lines of a hard pouch you slip it into, but may consider flip open ones or something that allows easy access to the touchscreen if it is tough enough.
Waterproofing not really an issue since the defy should be able to handle any streams or such I may fall into anyway.

Otterbox Commuter Case
Agreed on the Commuter Series. I expect although that it is going to make the phone much phatter than that it already is.
I work as an audio engineer at some places (school, local bars), which means I carry lots and lots of big flightcases. And I've to be kept in the loop. My last phone, an LG KS-20 died this way. As I was carrying a big flightcase, a corner tapped the LCD through my jeans, destroying it. So many appointments and numbers lost!
Note: I haven't got my Defy yet, I'm working things out on getting it.
i'm selling mine. dont like my phone being so bulky because i always put it in my pants pocket.
if you're interested, pm me.
I was using one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Amzer-Silic...2OI6/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1303117510&sr=8-8 but it added too much bulk and it wasn't a particularly good fit even if it did offer decent protection.
I now use one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/iTALKonline...5F3S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303117510&sr=8-1 and it is a good tight fit and it doesn't bulk the phone up very much at all, my defy certainly feels better in my hand now being a bit heavier and a bit grippier, with this case i can slip it in and out of my jeans pocket without it getting stuck as well.
yea i use otterbox. i don't mind the bulky feel
There is a really nice two-piece alternative from case mate. I use it and I can't complain.

Kinda thinking about the Ottebox one, but ah, if it's so bulky.
Only problem about China is that it takes a while to arrive. Will post about it when they arrive.

I want to use a special case, but i'm wandering if it has some problems with cooling this way. If i play Dungeon Defenders for example, the phone gets pretty hot, and with a case i'm afraid it will get even hotter, because i'm not sure how the heat will be transfered.
I got a tpu case from ebay and some silicon ones.
The tpu is great but the silicon were really hard to get in and out of the pocket.
I recommend the tpu with a red thing on the back, which you can rip out and it slides well and also fits very well on tue device.

it's nice to have cause i dont think the defy will resist falling onto the street, when biking...^^ the case will give it more toughness =))
I've had the Ottterbox case for months now. Everytime I take the case off for some reason it drives me nuts now because the phone just feels too small. I work in a precast concrete plant and end up getting pretty dirty by the end of the day. Thankfully this phone stays a lot cleaner now then other phones I had that I didn't have the Otterbox case.
Conductivity is the key
Aluminium - Camera stand had lying about (from poundworld for, yes £1) - take one of the legs off.
Steel - Brillo pad, (in the kitchen below the sink ) rip a bit off, take the plastic bud of the leg, stick wool inside the leg.
Paper - paper yes I know its not the best conductor, but needed so as not to scrape the screen, tape a bit to cover the wire wool end.
Done, works, works well and I am using it Looks ok would even use it outside.
Plus has a hole on the other end if you want to add some string to attach to pad or put round neck not to get lost.
Plus Plus two more legs left on camera stand to make some extras
Not as pretty as some paid for ones obviously - bet hey, free for me and a £1 for you if you dont have the camera stand, oh and dont know how much brillo pads are.
I am sure I could have made it abit neater, but maybe someone else could do a nice neat one and post a pic here.
Good luck...

You can also just use some plastic from an Anti-Static Bag you get from electronics packaging and tape it to the end of a pencil.

Hey good thinking!
Better get out and buy a hard drive at £50 so I can use the anti static wrapper.
Then it only costs £50, although I do get a free hard drive that I don't need, but hey I could use it as a door stop, cheers...
Why would go out and buy a $50 HDD just for the anti-static bag? Seems to me that would defeat the purpose of making a stylus since you could probably buy one cheaper.

Why would go out and buy a $50 HDD just for the anti-static bag? Seems to me that would defeat the purpose of making a stylus since you could probably buy one cheaper.

Cause I don't have any anti static bags, I had this and made the stylus it works well and just wanted to share, but not with you because you're not very nice and you are not my friend
Why are you turning this into a personal issue?
