I sold my Wizard to get a Universal and funds won't allow it at the moment so going back to a Compact, sold my last a few months back. Just picked up a tatty one cheap....anyone know of a source for new cases if it can be done in the UK ? Ebay link maybe ?
monkeyphonix: do you mind changing the name of this thread to "New Magician housing?" to be a bit more helpful. It's a bit misleading right now.
I haven't heard of anyone selling 3rd party case, but if you search you can find HTC's telephone numbers and might get spares.

I have their website up now with a UK number, looks like they do the work, not sure if they sell spares but will ring them, cheers.
have a look on the board though, I do think a few guys have tried it, so you might be lucky! I still love the Magician, just don't find the wizard attractive enough really. Universal - good for beating a man to death with...

hahaha...I like the comment about the Universal......can be used as a weapon in self-defence
O2mini_noob - it's all true!
This is what I have to wear when I put it in my pocket:

That's me in black :shock: (not really!)
I shouldn't be cruel. It's a nice device. I just wish they had put a lanyard hole on it, otherwise it's bound to fall and get mashed up like monkeyphonix's.
V
hahaha....that's a great illustration :lol:
There's another option for Magician cases
(1) Buy a silicon skin to protect your device ..black or brown will mask the condition of the exterior.
(2) At skinit.com, buy skins for your Magician and transform a tatty looking handheld into the coolest device in your area
(3) If the screen is scratched, get the "scratch remover" from ebay and DIY the repair of the screen. Then put a screen protector on.
Doing this will increase the resell value of your device when it's time for an upgrade

I remember from a while back that there was 2 versions of the wizard. One was the one that we are seeing now as the qtek9100 and the kjam and there was one that looked like the apache(cdma version) but it did not have the aerial stub so it could not of been the apache. Does anyone know if there will be a different looking wizard being made that looks similar to the apache? I am quite sure I like the apache design a bit better but I am looking for a GSM device.
Do you mean this ???
I know what you mean , I remember seeing the thread somewhere when info was very scetchy. The pictures we saw if I have you right where the K-Jam or Wizzard and the Apache although minus the arial. The first shots I saw of these were like this . Saying that though Mobilefun.co.uk swear their K-Jam unit will be CDMA even after speaking to them and sending them the Imate spec sheet .. If so then it's the closest guarded secret this century.
The Apache has just been released on Sprint in the states .. You lucky things :lol: I think though the Apache is now a bigger device than was speculated .. Could be wrong though

yeah that is the one. i am really looking forward to the wizard since it seems to have everything i am after with the exception of built in GPS which i will sadly have to live without.
it seems like the units that are coming out are all in the qtek 9100 style which i am not too crazy about. i plan on buying a wizard the second it comes out but i would like to buy the latter version if possible. trouble is that i am not sure if i will be able to contain myself from buying the qtek 9100 once it comes out. especially since we have not seen any of the companies use the latter version as of yet. who knows when it is going to come out or even if it ever will.
I always thought the alternative styles were prototypes. I do remember seeing different versions in the FCC database but the only difference was that one had a camera, the other didnt (to make the phone acceptable in areas where cameras are forbidden).
It is Dopod 838

Well, the only concern I had with my Hermes was it is god dam big.
It's tolerable when it's without anything but I just want protect my 8525 from scratches.
I always cover my phone with plastic cover, but it looks so big when it's in my pant's pocket,
as someone once joked that he thought it was my PH.D(pretty huge D) skewed to left(or right),
and I'm an asian, the fact of which makes my figure pretty an irony(I can joke about my race, right??).
In my country, Korea, they cover phone with sorta printed plastic or film sticker,
which enables easy outfit reforms of phones as well as scratch protaction.
As they don't have 8525 in this country, I was looking for expansion drawings for 8525, which I couldn't.
I posted about this issue but no one gives a dam about that or my Eng was sucky.
Anyhow, I finally made it by myself. it's kinda not perfect yet.
I ordered plastic sticky sheet from cellphone reforming shop and I need to cut that sheet(or sh*t) by my self following the expansion drawing, but if they gets enough demand, I can ask for customized factory cut of the expansion drawing so that I(or we) don't have to waste my time for precise cutting.
I don't believe there would be such a huge demand, cuz this forum is for sorta geeks(at least a bit of), not for metropolitan-ambiguous gendered dudes.
So the product of covered phones will be like this::

I will post mine soon if I succeed in making a versatile outfit. I am making it with Paul Smith stripes, and you can also cover your phone with sorta like Gucci or LV or BMW, Jessica alba....and so on.
So if you are interested in getting something like that, post a reply or enter a poll.
Then I am thinking about supplying through ebay.
The cost of the cover would be around 15 bucks including shipping fee.
Customized order(of picture) would be more than that, I gotta ask the shop owner.
So anyone interested??
It's only available for 8525, or other Hermes model which has totally same outfit.
P.S- How do you call that kinda cover in English, if it has name?

Hoping for $550 AUD + user pays postage, but i'll consider any decent offer. (bumped)
I also have a official Jawbone bluetooth headset for sale, these lil fellas are probably the best out there. For seperate or combined sale.
That's all the pics for now.
bump for $550.
Hi there, my first post here. You still interested in selling? Is the unit working without problems, what rom is running? Cheers.
Interested, too
Love mine. Can't always find my keyboard, and the housing on mine is a lot, lot worse than yours. I'm also having doubts about my mini usb connection - seems that I plug it in too much. Housing by itself was running US$180 in July, but it looks as if the guy has run out of them: I can't find any now.
I live in the US, and I just checked exchange rates, so it comes out to about US$360, today.
PM me. I'm very interested.
PM me... I consider this sold for that price.
Thank you.
Still waiting on a response
I'm guessing you've got a buyer - but please let us know. If you feel inclined, it would be helpful to know how much you got for it so we can deduce a good going rate.
Thanks!
I've been seeing them go for 450-550 here in the US
If it's still going for sale ... I'm in Darwin so it won't be so far to ship
Send me a pm or email if it's sale going begging.

Hey all I just nabbed an i-mate JASJAM (Hermes) on eBay for AU $120 ($5.50 postage) to go along with/replace my Magician, the only defect is a non-functioning earpiece speaker, which I can most likely fix easily.
I've been missing a hardware keyboard for a pretty long time, I was considering modding my Magician to have a slide out QWERTY thumbboard.
I've had my Magician for a year or 2, I love it, bought a pink housing for it and upgraded it to Cotulla's WM6.1 and it's like a new phone It was originally given to me by my ex-girlfriend's mum when she got a new phone. She had never used it for anything but calls and txt, which I was appaled at lol
So did I get a good deal?
You didn't get a bargain, but as long as you can repair that ear piece you got a good price.
I paid $100 +postage 6 months ago for a JasJam via ebay, but I was picky and let about 20 go for a higher price before I finally got one.
This is my 2nd JasJam - first is still mine and had a white screen issue which I've fixed, this 2nd is now my wife's and is in far better condition than my 2.5 year old JasJam.
I love the keyboard and Windows Mobile too, so mine gets used heavily
Cheers + welcome!
G.
Earpiece speaker should not be a problem. Most often it's just the spring contacts not touching the board or a bit of oxidisation on the contacts. Just sometimes the speaker is faulty, in which case there is a motorola one that fits almost perfectly and is easier to find than the original. (pretty cheap too)
As for it being a bargain - well count yourself lucky if it's one that has no alignment and white screen problems, they are awkward if not impossible in some cases to deal with.
Mike
Well at least I didn't get ripped off like I would have been if I got one of the $200+ ones
@mikechannon Should be an easy task, had my Magician apart countless times to try out mods, change housings, tighten the stylus holder etc.
@Ogier I love WinMo too, it's so useful I can't stand using a phone with a closed FW for too long. It just annoys me not having a decent file manager etc.

lol something against lurkers? I always lurk for a while before posting so that I'm not a complete noob when I start
Well, I unbranded my atrix using the penny method and have now "re-branded" it with an android sticker. I actually ordered 2 because I wasn't sure of fitment for one. I tried the larger one first and it probably would have fit, had I not been stupid:

I already had it on very well before I realized it overlapped the camera section... So, I removed that and replaced it with this:
It's hard to capture the color accurately in a picture, but the first one seems to be a bit closer to me. I think I liked the first one better, had I not messed it up. I may end up ordering another offset version, but going to wait to see what more protective (sticker type) covers come out for the atrix first. Considering how cheap it was, I don't really care too much that the first one didn't work out or that I might end up taking the second one off soon anyways.
For anyone interested, these stickers, as well as other designs and colors, can be found here: http://www.androidstickers.com/

I might try that if I decide to order another.... kind of a waste of money to keep ordering them, but they're cheap enough that I might as well give it a try and it'll be easier to switch if I find myself dissatisfied with the look. Can always stick the extra on something else if I want.
Woof... I'll stick with the sexy, slim, soft-touch, black plastic of the incipio feather...
I'm probably going to end up going with something different... just waiting till there are more options. Not really interested in a case though. Pretty much waiting for the "skins" type options to come out. They offer basic scratch protection but that's about it, it seems.
Emailed them with an idea and they're looking into it... might have something a bit cooler if it pans out.
