Default/Standard/Bundled/Free/Generic case.
I have Covertec black leather case...
very nice case.. I've had it since August, and it is still in a great condition...
Build quality is very good.. and it's way much better the the standard case for the JAM.
it also has 2 mini pockets for your extra memory cards... I usualy keep my music stored in a seperate SD... and thus, this case becomes quiet handy :wink:
i have the one it came with which i barely use, and also i bought the silicone one which i dont use much either because it sticks to clothe so its tough to put in/out of my pocket.
Here's mine! Krusell is very comfortable. Using it couple of months. Still good!
stratoboom: that's cute, where'd you get it?
I have a silicon case which is ok, but in the end I just found some adhesive foil which I covered the back of my magician (and ipod) with. It looks similar to the original and protects it when i throw it on the desk. It's useless for shocks/drops, but then I never touch my phone without slipping my finger through the loop.

I love mine with a silicon skin. The one I purchased from ebay is the thin silicon skin that comes in 5 colours ...didn't like the one with the protective screen cover, too thick the skin.
The skin makes my phone-PDA stands out..whenever I take it out to answer phone or use the PDa function, everyone nearby just stares at it :-D
O2mini_noob: I got a silicon one in pastel blue and white. Haven't used it for a while, I'll have to pull it out again!
V
the pastel light blue I am using at the moment..it makes my o2 mini look like light bluish grey which is very striking.
The flourescent green and pink look outstanding too although pink is more suited for gals.
i found it on ebay.
it's great.... first days plastic is very heavy and sometimes there is not contact between stilus and screen
after couple of days, leather and screen cover get magicians shape and now i use only my fingers ; )
the best case i ever buyed.....
Boxwave Flexiskin is amazing..I just put it on today...looks like by far the thinnest skin you can find for the Magician. Whereby most silicon skins today add weight and thickness to the Magician plus not contoured to fit charging cradles..the Flexiskin from Boxwave makes you feel like you're using a naked mini.
The button skin is incredible...you can actually feel the symbols on those buttons. It is the must have skin !!
My pocket is 2 small 2 plus a case on XDAmini......
I use a Piel-Frama Case (did so with my old iPAQ too) and I love them. They may be a bit expensive but are worth every penny. I got a black leather one though.
Hi,
I have the same as your with a slight modification.
I have cut out the plastic front to give acess to the screen.
and added a hard leather cover for the screen
Regards
And this is the reason (the case) why i dont want to replace my JAM to KJAM...

i had this case and absolutely hated it. first up, i hated having to always open the cover to access the screen (it was a process). secondly, it made my Jam a lot bulkier looking, and a lot of my friends would comment that i look like a "moron" with the case on my phone. i ditched and i got a silicone case with an attached belt clip. i garner a lot more respect now. 8)

Hey Private-Cowboy, I have a Piel Frama for my Mini too!
But it's the two-toned black/tan one.
Anyone here using a Vaja?
here is mine. a tad too bulky, but i like it. Makes the phone quite bit thicker.

Shop or ebay? got any pictures? I've been thinking about getting a silicon cover as I currently only use the cover which came with my mini.
cheers, marto
I've tried a few cases and by far the best is the CAPDASE. It's an Aluminium case with a double hinge. Only fault is the window is smaller than the Pdair and is offset to the left.
My main criteria for a case is that it must protect the PDA, be easy to use and not bulk up the unit as did the pdair case.
I also had to make a minor modification in order to get access to the stylus. Otherwise a great case.

Can any of the early K-JAM owners confirm what kind of case is shipped in the box? Is it like the belt-clip horizontal case coming with the Jam, or is it different?
Thanks.
I just played with it at a phonestore.
It comes wit a belt like clip holder. Looked allright to me, nearly same as magician bigger :wink:
Yeah, way bigger. The K-Jam case is square (not with rounded edges), and way too much extra space at the top.
I'm looking to find that case that sweet Treo 650 case BTT snagged. Went to BestBuy and CompUSA today, nothing like it. Hey, BTT where'd you get that case (I know, a mall, but what store)?
The case isn't very pretty, but it's functional, and has a nice firm front/back to stop anything from smashing your screen. It also makes the device WAY too bulky.
My 2 cents...
Good Points:
1. Full width sewn in magnetic strip on flap makes it very easy to close (i.e not just a small magnetic catch)
2. Access to plug in headphones
3. Spring steel belt clip rather than belt loop, so it can be quickly removed from belt without unbuckling
4. Soft felt inside gives good screen protection
Bad Points:
1. Corners of device exposed, so would be damaged if case is dropped.
2. Case a good bit bigger than it needs to be.
3. Nylon material of case "puckers" a good deal in damp air. Very odd..!
4. Case is a bit too ridged, making it hard to extract the device.

Chris
Mmm, how do I completely delete a duplicate post??

That case looks pretty terrible :\
If that picture is for the shipped case,it looks very pretty nice to me .
Wow, it is huge!!! Definitely too bulky (too thick), it will make you look like pregnant if you wear a pullover....!
A definite step back from the very useable case provided with the Jam.
We definitely need someone to come up with a very skinny case for the belt... Any company working on this?

I'm in New Jersey.
The mall I bought it from is called Menlo Park Mall in Edison, NJ.
The kiosk is in the middle of the mall and the manufacturer is called Bytech.

Piel Frama's case for the Wiz should be out next week according to the email I got from them last night. Look at their site towards 27-OCT or so and see if it is listed...
Excellent! I was really hoping Piel Frama would come out with a case. I love my hx4700 Piel Frama case!
To make the device easier to extract from the case it shipped with I found it convenient to utillize the end of the lanyard that shipped with my Motorola HS-810 headset. It detatches from the lanyard, leaving a piece of looped line with a plastic piece. looping it through the provided point on the lower left corner of the device. Doing this results in a handy place to grab hold of the device and extract it from the case.

I think you view of the shipped case will depend on your origins ;-) The case probably is bigger and bulkier than it needs to be, but if like me you have been used to lugging round an xda 1, an xda 2 and then the xda 2s, you will probably be pleased how compact this is And of course its free!
I personally hope that EB Cases will produce a smalller version of the horizontal soft leather case with belt loop or clip, that they make for the xda. I used it for 3 years all three of my xda's and its still going strong. Not bad for $30.00 !
The Krusell HTC Touch Pro Orbit Flex case is no exception to this rule, it’s a little rough around the edges and plays host to some decidedly inconsistent stitching and some other almost unnoticeable but poor aspects of its overall finish.It does, however, boast some features I’ve encountered on other Krusell cases. For example, the top flap that normally covers and protects the screen of the phone can easily and quickly be entirely removed from the case by means of a slide-in plastic clip. This allows you to remove and pocket said flap when you’re planning on using the phone for a significant period of time and don’t want it getting in the way.On the down side (or up side, depending on your belt-clip preferences), and again like previous Krusell cases, the Orbit Flex comes with a “multidapt” hardpoint on the back of the case, which can’t be removed to make the case as perfectly pocketable as I think it should be. Belt clips are a matter of preference, however, so I can’t outright chalk this up as a minus for the Krusell Orbit Flex, if you’re into creating Batman-like utility belts then it should be right up your alley.A definite plus is the transparent plastic window in the case under which you’re supposed to tuck the HTC Touch Pro keyboard. It’s a little bit tricky to get it seated properly but once you do it will adequately protect your keys from dust and grime in addition to very securely holding your phone inside the case.The mix of black and cream leather with complimenting stitching makes the Orbit Flex look quite good if you don’t examine it too closely, the black exterior and cream interior is an eminently professional look which I’m quite fond of. It trumps any single tone case immediately and adds a bit of interest to what would otherwise be an overwhelmingly black phone in an overwhelmingly black case.Overall, the Krusell Orbit Flex is a cracking case for your HTC Touch Pro, for the money. If you want to loose a few features, despise belt clips or simply want to go full on “designer” with a much better finish then you’ll be wanting to give it a miss, but if you want a striking leather case for little over £20 then it’s certainly an option worth considering.

Review By Kevin
Dr.Windows Mobile Master
I used a Krusell leather case with my Sony CLIÉ for several years and it is still on the device, even though I don't use it any more. It is still so nice I don't have the heart to through it away...David.
Thanks for the information. I have owned two Krusell cases for other devices and loved them. The Multidapt belt clip is by far the best I have used.
I assume this will fit the Fuze? Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks!
@MagicSpeller,
yes, confirmed it's and will fit the Fuze.
one thing I don't like, though: it's very cumbersome to put in (and out, subsequently) the plastic wrap portion which protect the keyboard and provide grip to the phone.
I'm sorry, i never got these cases for phones that have a slide out keyboard. for a phone without a slide-out keyboard, that makes sense but not one with a keyboard. You slide out the keyboard and the case is hanging off the side. Really not useful in my opinion.
Can any1 post some of their own pictures of this case.Thx

Now, what is your ideal opinion of a leather case that [when] 'you slide out the keyboard, the case [won't] hanging off the side'? such thing doesn't even exist, yet.
Unless you're referring to a two piece rubberized soft case, which I think looks cheesy, and, dorky.
I have had a few krusell cases for palms and HTC devices. Their warranty is really good. The quality though is another matter. I should point out at this point I am an extremely careful user of my mobile so not ham fisted. But for my tytn I had two cases replaced on warranty because the multidapt adapter plate which is stitched into the back of the case kept splitting. The third case has just failed with the plastic welds giving up on this same fixing plate so it fell off the back of the case. This is after 3 weeks of use. I am always careful to remove the phone from my belt before sitting or getting in a car etc, so there is no excuse for these to fail like this. The last case broke just as I got back to my car and was unlocking the car. I have attached a photo of this latest failure, the belt clip on this is the non swivel type. The non swivel clip is frankly rubbish. After opening the clip a couple of times the hinge pin works its way out. On the swivle clips the flaw is the spring metal weakens. The cases are great though definitely one of the better ones out there with a manufacturer that honours its lifetime warranty, but the multidapt and associated plastics are a really badly flawed design. I am now off to claim yet another replacement under warranty, if you dont want a belt clip then I dont think you can do better for a leather case that you put in your pocket.
A cousin of mine needs it. Where to find it.
Thanks
play.com are doing it for 4.99 free delivery!
Hi guys,
Not advertising it - although I should because I bought one from play.com few days ago for 4.99 GBP!!
I couldn't believe the offer, too good to be true I thought.
But the only thing I don't like about it is the plastic that goes over your keyboard and under the screen - so holds the phone very safe indeed.
But I feel paranoid that the front is going to snap off - the see-through plastic seems to be forcing the top cover out a bit...Or it's me being paranoid?
Anyone else feel this way who owns one of these?
Good luck all!
Anyone know if this case will fit with the seidio 2000mah battery installed?
krussell cases are garbage, not only did it break my phone because of the plastic straps that under the sliding part, but the case never fit right and awlays hit my scroll key, thus my battery was always crap, also the clip broke...I would stay away from made in china piece of crap krussell
Hello,
I have T-Mobile HD2 (US) and currently using this case with clip PDAir/Monaco case which fits perfectly and overall is good.

But ... I also want to double protection with some kind of plastic hard shell. I will be using hard shell TOGETHER with PDAir case (this case has stretchable sides). I used same kind of setup for HTC HD.
Now ... ideally this plastic case would be Capdase Alumor HD2
but unfortunately because of size difference it does not fit perfectly on T-Mobile's version on HD2 (1.5mm taller) and when I emailed Capdase they told me that there are NO plans to make version for T-Mobile HD2
So I'm stuck with eBay and such What I need from this case is preferably protection of corners, no bulk and .... case should not be GRIPPY !!! I mean, no unti-slip coating. The reason ... silicone and such are grippy and give trouble when inserting/removing it from PDAir case. I dont want that ! I want it glide Or at least similar to back cover of HD2 itself.
So those resin/selicone/etc cases on eBay - they are out.
Having said that ... any advice ?
expensive hard case
I saw this. It is expensive, but it does fit really nice.

There is no clip and it is hard to take HD2 out. I prefer slip-out cases like PDAir.

It does cover the corners although the top and bottom are open...it also will NOT fit into a dock I purchased with the case on but will if I take case off...but fits in and out of the leather holder on my belt fine with no "sticking"....I'll try to take some better pics of top and bottom at corners...problem is the phone is my main camera and older phone takes crappy pics. On other hand it was only a $3 case and came with a screen protector so not alot at risk.
I would really appreciate better pictures of top/bottom. Thanks in advance !
Does it look the same as here (there are good pictures already):
http://cgi.ebay.com/HARD-RUBBER-MAT...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item27b0ebcdd9
I have the black gel skin that T-Mobile sells for this phone. It is very smooth and not at all grippy, and allows the phone to slide easily in and out of my pocket. (Compare this to the ribbed, rubbery, and very grippy skin that came in the box with the phone.)
Edit: I see you specified "hard shell" so I guess this doesn't fit the bill.

I used to use no protective case with my iphone. just put the iphone on my pocket and that´s it. After 2 years of use, the phone it´s 95%.
Do you use any protective case with your HD2? could i use it the same way like i used my iphone?
many thanks

What do you mean that your phone is 95%?

x2 Best case in the WORLD.
I use a screen protector for better haptic feeling while scrolling and better visibility in bright light (reflections) - and no more fingerprint smearing. And I keep the HD2 in it's stock pouch for additional protection. It's still very slim in it's pouch but quite well protected for the thinness of this little bag This way my phone still looks like new although I wear it in my pocket at work everyday.
Nah I don't bother, dropped it several times and not a scratch (touch wood). I don't like the idea of a rubber casing that I have to remove if I need access to the battery / reset button. I'll just claim on the insurance if I damage it
Ive got a tad bit different capdase case found here
http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=321&pid=5156
-quick to put on and take off
-metallic backing that covers the corners for extra protection
-light weight and slim (hardly noticeable)
-rubber liner that surrounds device to snug case on (excellent quality)

theres finally a otterbox for our hd2's
found here
http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=321&pid=5156
-not so quick to put on and take off (two layers have to be put on separately)
-plastic over rubber layers - but corners of device only covered by rubber
-light weight and not so slim - phone feels a tad bulky
-rubber liner that surrounds device also covers the keys (yay) but in doing so, block out the keypad led lights... (NAY)
IMO the capdase case is the way to go.
the otterbox looks awsome but it doesent protect the corners

WTF? explain please, i never heard of a phone having a health bar
i´m just kidding man
i hate cases, it makes the phone ugly..
i didnt use a case since i have my hd2 now (7 months ) only one little scratch wich u dont really notice.
u dont need to use a case, its not only ugly, it is not even necessary
I use a leather case that I got off the bay for £3.99 yes I know it's sad but when my phones last me around 6 months I thought I best protect this one
In the past I have managed to drop a month old phone in a pint of cider, ran one over with a skip lorry, dog has eaten one, lost one in a flood when stuck in my car the list goes on.
Hang on come to think of it a case is not going to save my phone
i use the original one that comes with it ,fro 6 monthes now without an single scratch msa
What are you using or planing use to protect your phone and screen?
Zagg is supposedly good all around, the draw back, it's extremely hard to remove once you put it on, and if you fail the first time.... OMG...
Gel Case + Screen protector is the next best thing, both can be easily removed and swaped with another colour or another screen protector if it gets too scratched, unlike Zagg once you put it on, you are stuck with it forever.

Thanks
for the phone shell protection i'll prefer these "Mesh" ones (easily found on ebay), but not sure if they are Hard plastic case, or soft gel type

for actual Case for my belt this one is the best of them all (also easily found on ebay)
the gel skin + phone will fit perfectly into it

They are plastic not soft.
personally i've always liked the zagg (rather a bodyguardz since u get 2 skins for the price of 1 in case of a fubar) plus a hard plastic case.
EDIT: unfortunately only zagg has the SGS skin for now....so i bought that

thanks for the info.... darn they looks so nice on the phone.
but past experiences has taught me that hard cases does not protect the phone from accidental drops.
soft cases or gel like cases does a better job at that.

I'd go with Zagg if they were less cumbersome to install.
the last time i tried it, it was a big mess.
having to do the spray the glue, then letting it dry, etc, etc.
i don't like the idea of having to use any sort of glue like thing on the protection film to glue into the screen.
i'll probably order the Zagg just to provide some more protection for the plastic case samsung decided to use, to give it an extra layer of "armor" ... still if the drop is bad enough even the inside hinges that keeps the phone together will break regardless of how strong is the the outer shell.
I've a bad rep for dropping my phones A LOT! luckily my old HTC Athena was made of METAL case, else it would have died looong looong ago, and even with it being a metal case, i managed to crack it at the corners
since HTC Athena phone/laptop (according to the Zagg website) was not that popular, there was no soft skin case available for it, and the Zagg was not available either until much later, by then it was already too late for my phone.
the Zagg + Gel skin will make a good protection & fashion for my new Galaxy S i9000
that's the neat thing about the Gel skin, you can change the colour anytime you want to "match" your style / clothing whatever event you feel like for the day.
However the issue with the screen protection, i'll most likely not use Zagg, and only use a PET film protection, i've had all my previous phone with those PET protection and they work really well, it can be easily replaced without any glue, you can wash it and put it back, exactly what i wanted.
the Zagg screen protection you will have to spray the glue on the film, put it on, and let it dry, and you can't use your phone meanwhile it's doing that, so it's rather too inconvenient.
Also once scratched, you'll have to replace it with another Zagg, and that means you'll have to do the same rutine again.
PET film a fraction of what you'll pay for the Zagg screen protection only.
I'm rather picky on screen marks, i like them polished clean, if they have any line or dots, i usually change it right away, with Zagg, that will prove too cumbersome to do, with a PET film, just peel and throw away, and put on the new one, it's just that simple.
keep in mind on the zagg, for screen protector, they still only have ones for the galaxy, which have large cutouts for that square Nav button (the vibrant/captivate doesn't have) and cutouts for the FFC which the vibrant/captivate doesn't have
only one i've seen specific to the vibrant / captivate is the clearfreak, which btw is made here in the USA (Virginia)
do a google on em, there were some interesting reviews comparing them to phantomskinz and others
