Use Brodit magician holder with wizard? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi guys
This is to all former magician owners
I have a brodit passive holder for magician. Is this also usable on the wizard? or do i need to find a new carmount?

Many thanks !

I don't think so. Not without modification, I think. Wizars is thicker that Magician and will not sit properly in this holder. I think that your better bet will be holder for ETEN/TORQ

I e-mailed Brodit a few weeks back on this one. They said they thought they would have a holder out fir the K-Jam / 9100 by the end of October
Regards
Chris

I am going to try the one for ETEN nest week. Will post result here.

Cool thanks.
If the holder wont fit the wizard i could just sell it together with my old magician.
Please keep us posted if you find a brodit holder or any other that will fit the wizard in car.
Regards,
For all dutch users :
Mochten iemand nog een qtek s100 zoeken, pm me

Just tried a bunch of different holders at SkyeTech here in TOronto, none of them work with Wizard, including Treo650/JAM.
Let;s wait for ETEN ;0

Today i just modified my original passive brodit holder from my magician.
Works perfect with the wizard now. Only thing i did is cut some plastic away so the slide in the holder is wider.
:lol:
Im Happy 8)

Pictures please?

Yes, pictures would be great. Also, what tool did you use to enlarge the slot?
Many Thanks!
Chris

I'll make a pic in a few.
I used a dremel. Its a tool to slice away wood and plastic. It took me half an hour or so, and it works perfectly !

Thanks! Can you please, take a close up of the area that you've worked?
TIA!

Many thanks!! Looks great!! a couple of follow on questions if I may....
1 when you enlarged the slot, did you measure and scribe a line to work to free hand, or did you use any kind of guide to get a straight edge?
2. Off topic a bit, but are you using a GPS with the K-Jam? If yes, which one?
Many Thanks!!
Chris

@cbrow51
Yes, i drawed a line with some white pant and looked, didnt exactly measured how much. Used the dremel, and tried how it fit every now and then. Eventually it fitted perfect !
Also i do use GPS with the wizard. Works ok. I use a bluetooth GPS Module. Cant think of the name, but it has a nokia battery in it lol
I tried making a pic. Tomorrow i'll put some black paint over the area i made wider to make it look nicer.

blueeyedme
Many thanks. You are the man!
On the GPS, can you recall the software you're using? Is it TOM TOM or something else?
Mant thanks

@cbrow51
I use tom tom 5.1. Works perfect. Only i couldnt get working good was my traffic account. I'll need to have a closer look on that.
Im very happy with the holder as it is now. I could still use my mini-usb carcharger from the magician too.
Btw. The Brodit holder only costs about 20euro new. Just get someone with a dremel and spend half an hour with it. Its easy !
If you guys have more questions i'll be happy to answer them!
Regards,
Jeroen

blueeyedme
Many thanks again. Most helpful. Hope you did not get too cold taking those pictures I have a battery operated dremel, so I think I'll have a go!!

Wasnt that cold lol. Just wanted to make the story more adventurous :wink: It was 21c while i took the pics 8)
Im glad i could help some of you. I had the holder laying around and thought i could give it a try

Krusell case for XDA2

I got it today and very pleased with it. Very nice for everyday use mostly as a phone. I can still type short messages and browse, but for heavy typing I am taking it off and using Krusell horisontic case.

Did you notice how the buttons don't quite line up correctly? I had to 'modify' my case and enlarge some of the holes to make the buttons easier to press.

I decided to order another type of krusell case, because of two things with this plastic/leather case you bought.
1. It´s hard to press the buttons and use the screen properly without taking it out of the case.
2. The plastic will get dirty quite easily.
3. The attention drawn to the device, as it is widely open is not wanted.
Risk of getting it stolen is multiplied by many.
So i bought this one instead:

I too bought this one & am very happy with it. The clip on flap that covers/protects the camera lens is genious!
Good job Krusell
Yeah, krusell shure know how to make highquality and wellthoughtthru leather cases!
That´s swedish quality all thru :wink:
does anyone know where to buy the Classic Multidapty i have a credit card so buying from another country wont be a problem any ideas or sites? :wink: :wink: :wink:

hi, sorry if there are any confusing
that message is meant for skenliv
and that krusell case (flip with clip) does come with the phone.
i don't know about imate, but O2 ones does have it included
Does it have the Krusell sign on the front?.. If not, it´s the standard case that comes with every XDA II Phone. And it is REALLY bulky and missfitting. This one is alot smaller in size, alot better quality and the flip is not down (as with the suplied case) but on the Krusell its down.
What do you think of this one,
plastic made but nice
i guess it s a better protection plastic is harder and anti choc
can be find here :
http://www.javoedge.com/simtrix/pro...Id=169&productRef=PSKN-71112-00&category=SKIN
Nice, good idea.
But it´s not very well protected, what about the screen?
The most important part of the XDA II.
They should have some protection for it to.
And you cant holster it on your belt, because there is no beltclip.
And besides, it has the same problem as the case at the top of this thread.
It gets attention, and will probably be stolen easily.
(especially where i live, to many rich people).
Cyberbob.
Does the plastic cover have a screen protector with it??!

no, it does say krusell on it, it say O2 on it
but it's exactly the same case
Yes it has a plastic protection for the screen thin enough to use it with the stylet.

Jam housing

Is there a "how-to" here on how to change the housing on an xda II mini or a Jam..or has anyone done it? They have housings on ebay, but wanna make sure i know how to change it before i go ahead and buy any...
Thanks
Really I couldn't find any on eBay. How much did you see them for? What did you search for?
The only place I can find them is Apex Laptops and they want £95 for one!
Mine is a bit beat up now and contract is nearly out so I'd like to smarten it up before selling it.
If you look on the wiki there are some pictures of the inside but I don't think there are any instructions. I tend to just unscrew stuff and sellotape the screws to some paper with little diagrams of where they came from.
There is a detailed document at this forum with pictures on how to disassemble your phone. Should help you to get the cover off/on.
Anyway, depending on how bad your cover is, you might want to consider a US$10 options of skinning it at www.skinit.com. It looks good on the page, but I'm not sure how good the quality will be. But, anyway, as long as it looks alright

I found an xda mini case on eBay for £28.78 looks exactly the same as the MDA compact apart from the logo.

That's just for the front and back cover mind, no chassis. Quite like the look of the black one.
I bought some *blue* typhoon sp3 cases from them once - they weren't new or in great condition, chip marks where the casing had been prised open, and from the look of the foam surrounds around the screen they'd def. previously been fitted to a phone :evil:

Doh! I've already ordered one :-(
I don't think the lack of new chassis is a problem since the case is identical to my MDAC I shouldn't need a new chassis. But does mean it's quite expensive though. But still less than a third the price of Apex Laptops.
I'll post if it's in new or second hand condition when it arrives.
Did you go for the dark housing.
I was lucky to get a late model MDA compact when I was out in china. Looks nice in the darker colour although I have started to use a black skin and some screen protectors as this phone really scratches easy.
I would like to see if the replacement cases are any good as well ?
I went for the silver one. I was tempeted by the black one but it's for selling not for me so better to stick with normal colour I think...
Also I see they have 87 of the sliver ones available so I think it's unlikley it will be used like the typhoon case was.

I've bought a black one. They have nearly 100 typhoon cases in each colour listed at any one time. Must cost them a fortune in ebay fees as no more than 10% of the listings sell!
Richard
hmm...
i droped my mini today, now theres a big ass sctratch on the top left...
*sigh*...
well would like to know if these cases from that ebay store fit, tell us when you fit that case -).
Whitemoo...
I wish mine had just a scratch... My Qtek looks like Rambo's mobile!
The inner plastic lining of the battery cover broke, so i had to bend it slightly - now it stays in place, but with a nice, big bump on the side edge.
Am very interested in knowing if the ebay housing fits (not to mention how the more talented tecchies here removed the screen). Was also thinking, after having seen personalizations of other xda's, of covering it with fabric material (I'm thinking STRIPEY!!!) and clearcoating it! I've already done this to my bass guitar, inpired by a tutorial over at projectguitar (http://projectguitar.com/tut/mat.htm), although I chose a less... "brave" material design...
Skinit
Just a word of warning, I bought a 'skin' from skinit. They are simply awful. They only cover the flat and even bits of my Qtek S110. Corners and sides, no. They may work better with a flat PDA or mobile with no rounded bits.
Still interested in this thread about getting a new case, keep it going please!

Tips for a cheap & cheerful carkit - and it works

I didn't want a transformers style carkit for my Kaiser so I bought a magnet off ebay for a PDA - the Krusell one for £4, it comes with a thin metal plate you attach to the back of your kaiser and the magnet you attach to your dash. Well, it takes a lot to impress me and I must say it looks the business, also means you can have the Kaiser where you want it and not cradled low down. By chance I had my Tomtom Go wired in the dash from the cig adaptor and it's the same fitting, so a bit of re-routing and I have a carkit for £4 and 10 minutes of my time....priceless.
I'll post some pics when it's light ok.
Thank you for sharing, also will you please post the eBay auction you bought it from?
thanks
dont forget the pics. I think that might be a simple way of using the phone in the car
Here's a similar item on ebay - item no 160199677279
Total price incl postage is £5.50 (it's a UK item) - the full description is KRUSELL QUICKMOUNTER MAGNET MAGNETIC PHONE HOLDER
Pics soon ok.
They also sell this at sfplanet here in the States. Bought all my Krussel stuff from them and they ship fast and are not too expensive. Think this is what he's talking about...
http://www.sfplanet.com/product/C21/C21__Krusell_Quick_Mounter_01101.html
Looks real good and for a great price even with Canada shipping 15.00 CAD beats all the rest, just got one thank you
Can someone find a pic or maybe even take a pic of what this looks like when it's attached to the phone? As I've said in a previous post, I'm pretty leery of gluing anything to my baby. Maybe when I get my Seidio kit I'll stick one on that.
It's gonna take some convincing though.

Just for info...
Be aware that the sliding keyboard uses a magnetic detector to operate and if you suffer strange turn-ons (take a cold shower! ) you made need to use S2U2 or Kaiser Tweaks to disable it.
Same goes for some cases that have magnetic catches, they can sometimes turn your phone on inside the case when inserting.
OK, as promised:-

I don't actually own one of these, so I cannot tell you for sure, but from everything I have read and understand, nothing actually attaches to the back of the phone. The powerful magnet attaches to your dash and then just holds your phone there through magnetic attraction to the battery through the plastic cover.

As long as there are no issues with keyboard sensor (sliding sensor), I would be all over this. I like the clean look.
JB
prob is that you cannot tilt your phone in any way with this...
i gotta say it is a nice solution if you have a spot on your dash that is a good angle for your phone... i dont though so i have to get a mount with an actuating arm.
Haven't got a pic of the back sorry, with the krusell kit you get a very thin (1mm) plate which you apply to the back case of the Kaiser. This acts as the bond to the magnet. The instructions say you can place this plate inside your battery cover but their isn't enough clearance on the kaiser - it's hardly noticeable anyway.
I've been using mine now for 3 weeks and no problems, the magnet holds fantastic, the kaiser never falls off or moves when mounted. Best carkit I ever had.
Man, I'd love to see a picture of the back of the Kaiser with the plate on it.

This might ruin it for me, but I would have to see a picture. The price for the thing is very nice, but I don't really want to stick something onto my phone.

what back cover do you have on your fuze now then? the same as the MDA Vario??? because the normal TP back cover doesnt fit on the MDA Vario, because i have a TP here and tested it so i don't think this one fits
oh sorry then :-\
i just know this'll fit on my fuze. if it doesnt fit the original tp back cover then it wont work with this.
good luck with finding one thoughh
thnx for your help
hmm i was browsing the site and stumbled across this

its the dying thing that was mentioned...maybe this'll work. the pictures actually look pretty decent. hope it helps!
she doesn't like that either, she wants the same back cover like the TP...
My T-Mobile UK back cover says 3.2mp camera, than the Dutch 3.1mp.
Looks like it's just a stick on label type difference between the HTC type Vario IV cover & the T-Mobile one.
Wonder if it's possible to remove the T-Mobile stick bit with lens holes with a HTC one. Then just got to get the T-Mob bit off front.
mmm I was hoping the original HTC TP back cover also fits the T-Mobile MDA Vario IV...
I have a Touch Pro Landscape Brodit carholder that also does not exactly fit because of the round edges on the back of the MDA as compared to the diamond style Touch pro back. Would have been solved with a TP back cover.
Looks like a no-go then.
What is it that it does not fit?
Would this also mean we cannot use the Extended battery + cover objects offered on eBay for the Touch pro?
Any MDA owner found a solution to prevent scratches on the backside camera lens? As the lens is behnd a sticking-out piece of perpex, it gets scratched very quick! The Touch Pro does not seem to have that issue.

I too thought it odd that the profile of the perspex over the lens is raised- thereby making it prone to scratching when you put the phone down. Odd that they have used a slightly rubberised finish on the back and then elected to have a raised section made of perspex with a coefficient of friction of buger all.

Car Holder/Mount TMOUS HD2 - Fitted Not Universal

Does anyone have a fitted car mount for the US HD2? I found a bunch on the forum for the EU/Asia model, but only the universal kind for the US version.
I bought The Rocketfish™ Mobile - Windshield Mount for Select Portable GPS Receivers - Black from bestbuy its only about $20 and works great (tight fit - but thats a good idea since you dont want it falling out while drving)
Brodit ProClip
I haven't bought the one for the HD2 yet (no car...no need ), but I've used their mounts for previous devices, and they're awesome. They have a model specifically labelled for the Tmobile (US) HD2, but honestly I think the same model works with the euro HD2 just because of the way it mounts (doesn't matter how tall the unit is)
That Rocketfish looks pretty sturdy and the price is great. Thanks for the heads up. I'd like to get a smaller fitted one that can also, hopefully, go portrait and landscape. Kind of like this, but for the US HD2:

Thanks. I'd like a windshield mount, I need it to attach to any vehicle when I travel.
Bestbuys rocketfish also rotates both ways It can also lock in which ever one you want. Its hard to explaine but it can move in just about anyway you want it and when you have it you can lock it there!
I didnt have much luck finding a fitted one for the US T-Mobile version thats why I got the Rocketfish GPS holder

Interesting, I didn't think it did, but that's great. I'll probably go with that if I can't find a smaller fitted one. Thanks again.
No problem
been using the brodit active mount for a few weeks. top notch.
the only thing i wish it had was an active 3.5mm connection for music. having to connect the cable everytime becomes tedious.

i really like this one. i asked the seller, he said that it would not fit the tmous hd2. i am almost sure that it should fit, 1.25mm is not such a big deal. have any of u tried it?
Same here i really like this one too and yes they said it's not fit for US HD2
i found this one what do you guys think? it can be detach to sit on desk or mount on windshield as well. i just email the seller to confirm all the given info on item page and ill sure to post the update

I second anything Proclip makes, not the cheapest but the most well made setups I have ever used. Made for HD2 US also.
If you like the Rockfish I just found and bought this.

There is also the connections for charging if you are going to get one with a charger. The US version uses the microUSB and the UK version uses the miniUSB
If only this one were available somewhere:

I used a HAiCOM mount for my Fuze, and it was awesome. Great suction, great fit, and this one I think would work with the US version, as I think the only dimension that is different than the European HD2 is the length. This model slides in and clips on the top, but the clip isn't absolutely necessary, so it'd still go in there fine.
Too bad I can't find it anywhere...
Found one that works perfectly!

Just got it in the mail today, works great even though it says it doesn't for the US HD2. The clip on the top secures it tightly, can rotate to landscape without problems. Finally! One that fits!

I purchased the exact same one but from ebay and it wont fit the phone very very very tightly i can, I have the clear coat protector on the back of the phone not sure if that makes a difference but i have to force it in and it starts to pull the clear coat off .
