OKAY, Whats the BEST CASE on the market??

Hi,
So I have had the Kaiser for over a month already. I need a case!! What is the top quality case out right now? Is it www.proporta.com, or another manufacturer?
Cheers,
Phil

or this one, http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2774?
I am siding with the Proporta though. What else?
Phil

I really hope that the Noreve case thats supposed to be coming out for the Kaiser isnt one that doesnt allow you to use the keyboard while it is in the case...and i wish it would be coming out soon, they keep on pushing it..

Vaja cases are amazing, but they r $65

Kaiser Case Options
For the time being, I'm getting by ok on the stock Kaiser case along with a small neoprene case from OP/ Tech USA. The Velcro on the stock case will lose its grip over time and repeated use and that fact alone has me case hunting too.
The OP/ tech case is useful for when I just want to carry the phone someplace other than clipped to my belt (say a cargo pocket). There is a clip on it too if need be. The real plus for me is its utility & bang for the buck: the case provides shock & screen protection and even a bit of water resistance with minimal bulk. It stashes well and the price is right. There are color options too. I’ve used these cases for cameras, GPS and cell phones for some time now and like them a lot.

Mind you, I’m still looking for a different leather case that is appropriate in business environment. This one looks kind of interesting at the moment.

I've got a Krusell Horizontic case http://www.krusell.se/productUni.php?productID=2419&category=49&x=9&y=8 , since I prefer that format.

I am a big fan of the Krusell cases. I have one for my 3125, 8125, 8525, and my son's SLVR. But the one they have specific for the Tilt/TyTN II I don't really care for. And I've decided I like the looks of the Tilt so much I don't want to cover it up with that style of case. *better to show it off when pulling it out* I am swaying to a horizonal case like the one you linked to. Could elaborate on the "bulkiness" of that case. Does it compare to the one that came with the 8125?

I should have my Proporta case in the next few days. Will post a review when I've got it.

How is the clip on that case? It looks pretty nice for the money but I will use the clip all the time and need it to hold very well to my belts.

I'm sure it comes with this one. Works great holding on to a belt. Another thing I like about the Krusell is their Multidapt consept. See here Provides a lot of versitility on how and were one can attach there phone.

The Krusell Horizontic case I am using is slightly bulkier than the one supplied with the Tytn II. It however seems sturdier in offering protection to the device. The case can by attached either via the supplied clip or via the two belt loops at the back. I also like the fact that it closes by means of a magnetic button, and not via a velcro strip.
Krusell also offer a lifetime guarantee on the products. I am mentioning this not that I have any connection with them, but because I once sent in a case for a replacement and this was done with no questions asked.

I bought one of these cases on Ebay. It arrived Friday and I found it to be a perfect fit. All the cutouts match up and it's very well made.

Mine already shipped. (Guess they just printed the label, but still good)

From which sites did you order your cases? I'm asking because not many sites stock Krusell and I would like to have some options fur any further purchases.

I got mine on ebay from wirelessaccessories.com. they are pretty much the only ones on ebay who have Krusell Horizon case

Hi,
I am new and have the TyTN II for two weeks now. Beautifulll!
My previous model P3300 is lighter though, but hasn't features I really wanted to have (HSDPA f.i.)
On topic now:
I've ordered a case from pielframa for the P3300 beginning this year and the quality/fit was awesome. I've emailed them last week and they informed me the TyTN II case is in the making (<-- I'm dutch, so not sure if this is correct) by there design department and will be on the market soon.
Reading the posts here I think the noreve.com case mentioned by "hofo_mofo" looks like it is good quality with perfect fit too. Just wanted to add pielframa on this thread as their case for my P3300 was just perfect!
As soon the TyTN II case from pielframa comes out it's mine, I will be really carefull till then in the meantime

It is available

I like Pielframa cases, having had one for a previous pda. They are of a good quality and fit. However, what type of Pielframa case are you after? Is it the one where to talk on the phone you have a flap of leather dangling about? I don't particularly like that design for a phone.

WTB horizontal belt case with quality plastic clip

links?
I want one where the phone comes out completely naked (no covers with a detachable clip)
Hope thats not too confusing.
Personal experience/pictures welcome...
Thanks

I use a Krusell (http://www.krusell.se/productUni.php?productID=2419&category=49) with mine and it's a nice fit. I've actually used the same holder since I had a Wizard and it's lasting well.

Where did u buy it? I'm in the US where it's seemingly impossible to get accessories for this phone from anything but Hong Kong (sheesh)...
Thanks

Why not use the OEM one that came with the Kaisers? Have heard good things about them.

because I bought mine from ATT and there was no case included. I purchased their top-end leather case but when you put it in a horizontal configuration it is off-balanced and angles so that the opening points toward the floor when I have it clipped to my scrub pants in the hospital.
What's the exact model of the Krusell that will fit the kaiser? I looked on amazon and some other listed sites but there are a LOT of horizontal cases out there by Krusell.
Thanks

The link I posted is for the specific model that I use.
I'm in England and bought mine from somebody on EBay that sells loads of Krusell cases (Sorry, I can't remember the username though!)
You could try this http://www.cases.com/kr95146.htm but they seem to be on back-order at the moment.

SFPlanet.com seems to have the best prices for Krusell. I think the Tilt needs the Horizon Small/Wide.

BestBuy sells the HTC oem one. I bought one and it works well.
Horizontal with 2 magnetic fastners.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8222327&st=htc&lp=5&type=product&cp=1&id=1166840037625

Bought this one for $19.99 - can't beat that. Exactly what I wanted- horizontal, high-quality plastic belt clip.

lol- anyone want to buy the cingular vertical case for the tilt? Got an extra...

HTC OEM Case: Will it work for Fuze?

The case below is a horizontal pouch style. I am curious about the fit. IT was originally marketed with the HTC Touch Dual styled devices. Do you guys think it would be a good fit for the Fuze?
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-TOUCH-OEM-E...14&_trkparms=72:1240|66:4|65:12|39:1|240:1318
The other option for me is another OEM case shown here:
http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p_wm_acc1.aspx?i=169487&partner=wmusfroogle
If anyone has either of these cases I would really like your comments on fit. I expect the finish will be similar to the finish of the HTC OEM Tytn case that I currently carry. Any help is appreciated as i need to protect her soon. My front pocket is not the ideal carry spot for me and the Tytn case is simply too big for the Fuze.

I'm using the S322 case, magnetic closure instead of velcro, for my T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (Raphael 300).
Bit tight in the early days, but works like a charm.

You mention that yours has a magnetic closure instead of velcro. Did they release both variants? Where did you purchase from and how did you ensure that you got the right one.

I bought it at a mobile phone shop in the nearest city, don't remember which one...
It was in an original HTC blister packaging, they removed it so I could try it on my Vario IV.
As I already stated, a tight fit, so I handed over 16 € and left them the blister packaging
It has one magnet, not as powerfull as the two in the TyTN case but strong enough.
Don't know about the velcro closure, it's not mentioned on the Dutch site, it's mentioned on the UK site and the Expansys site. (who are running the European htc accessory store)

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, most US dealers never carry OEM cases, and I am forced to buy online sight unseen. I like a snug fit that develops into a perfect fit as you've described so I guess I just need to make my purchase.

I actually saw the oem htc side case in BestBuy o.o In cell phones accessories. They had 100's of em! I was in shock. Never had I seen htc accessories in best buy. I found invisibleSHIELD and BodyGuardz for the iPhone and diamond too

Guys,
I will go to BestBuy to check this out in further detail. But in the meantime...
@Venelar,
Please post some photos of the phone in the case and out. I would love to see as many as you could post.
EDIT:
I went by my local BestBuy, and sure enough that is the exact case that I already have. IMNSHO that case is too large for the phone. I will be trying to secure the HTC PO S322.

Guys, I was on the HTC Forum where I saw this "customizable leather" case and some glowing reviews. It seems to be nice enough, and thought I would see any of the xda family had picked one up. I have never ween it mentioned here so I thought you guys would want to know. I think I'll order one.

I just ordered one of the A1 cases. Did you get your case? how was it?

I purchased this soft pouch case ( http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wir...=organic&utm_term=POS322&utm_campaign=froogle ) from the store in NYC. It's a tight fit at first, it even peeled away my screen protector (2 of them) at first but it becomes just right after awhile. The velcro could be a bit better too...

Seidio like case, but avaliable in the UK?

As the title suggests, im about to get a new kaiser in good condition and seeing how my last kaiser faired with my lifestyle id like to get a rubberised case for the phone.
Searching & reading up has told me the Seidio case is a good idea, but shipping to the Uk doubles the price to nearly $60, a tad silly imo.
Does anyone know where i could source this case/a similar one within the UK?
cheers guys
edit:
Ebay brought up this, but at nearly £29 its too much;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Seidio-Rubber...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

please guys, someone from the Uk must have a decent rubberised case. iv read all the horror stories about the cheap ones on ebay & amazons and would like to avoid those pitfalls.

I bought twice a cheap one from China through ebay and everything was OK, including fast shipping. If you're interested, let me know and I might find the seller.

if you could that'd be great mate thanks!

I have this case. Good case but one problem. The tabs that hold the case to the phone can easily snap off so the case is not held securely on. More of a problem with the top and not the bottom but a pain none the less.
Have been looking at this case(think it comes from uk).
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=163266&sbadd=163266
with P&P comes to about £27.

Does anyone know of a decent protective case for the Touch Pro

Hi All
I have a T-Mobile UK Branded touch pro and Im looking for a half decent protective case. Similar to the seido one here:
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSR2HTFE-BK
Im not looking for an amazing one, just a decent one that will stop the phone from getting scratched that I can buy from the UK so I dont have to pay international shipping fees and that will nicely fit the t-mobile version.
Been looking for ages but they seem to be hard to come by!
Cheers

I have this case: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000365_11000370_11000580&products_id=15119. I really like it. I carry the case in my pocket at work. When I want to put it on my belt I screw in the include knob and use the included belt clip. Only $28.00 from PDair with worldwide free shipping. I can find it a little cheaper at other sites that resale it, but not by the time I add shipping. It is a little slow getting it, because it ships from Hong Kong. I have bought several cases from them over the years. I have got them in as little as three days once and once it took a week. Normally 4 or 5 days to the midwest of the US.

Well how about this for a change? Got it for 7.99 with Free Shipping (Arrived in 6 business days) and it looks like the Seidio one except way friggin' cheaper and it looks good.
NEW BLACK SILICONE SKIN CASE FOR HTC TOUCH PRO FUZE ATT
I'm sure the UK eBay would have something similar too.

The bottom one is exactly the type of thing im looking for. however anyone know of one that doesnt have to open before I can slide the screen up?
Also another problem is the back section where the gap for the camera is, as I have the t-mobile branded version of the phone i have a rectangle backing, like the image below.
