Nice Silicon Cover

Hi guys,
In case people haven't seen this one before. A uhm.. Case for the himalaya, it makes the device look more cool, and less nerdy i think. Better then the typical admin style ledercase.
Would love to use this one, too bad it's so expensive.

It is available for less elsewhere. I am using one that I paid 900 baht (18 euros) for in Thailand. JavoEdge sells them for US$28.95 (22.30 euros). If you buy one, be sure to get good screen protectors too. I use the Martin Field's Overlay Plus. Now if I could just find a way to get a commission from these guys!

i would get this one

i havent come across any screen protectors which was able to save the screen if the xda fell on a corner of a table or something
the pure silecon imho protects the part of the xda which is protected the most already

I had never seen that one before. Other than the belt clip, it looks great; and I'm pretty sure you can remove the belt clip. Part of my problem with belt clips is that people here will steal your phone off your belt. No sense advertising you have an expensive phone.

I got one of those silicone cases (not the one with the screen protector, the first one). Cost about £5 off ebay.

Re: Nice Silcone Cover
I too bought one of the silicon cases. Very happy with it apart from one aspect: with it fitted, the Himalaya will not fit on the Sync Cradle! It is just slightly too bulky. This means I have to repeatedly take the cover on and off and, even over a week or so, I can feel the cover is less 'snug' than it used to be. I suspect it is getting stretched.

Kaiser cases

Since this is so new, it seems there are not many cases out there yet. The really neat ones are for the 8525, suppliers like: Krusell,seidio,beyza are not up to speed yet, or Am I wrong? Any one have any ideas on when there maybe releases?

I honestly love the one that came with the Kaiser. However, I heard that cases with magnetic flaps cause the Kaiser to automatically turn on since there is a magnetic connection to the slider keyboard. I'm not too familiar with this issue, but did read this somewhere.

I don't love the sideways case with velcro and non-springloaded belt hook, currently using a leather magnet flap case for a generic flip. Mine does not turn the phone On, depends on where the magnets are located as ones that are close to the keyboard's "open sensor" can turn the phone On. I'm rooting for Pocket Solutions to make one.
I'm watching the "Kaiser Accessories" area for the mose current info... as should you.

I put my Kaiser on my jeans' pocket with no cases (except screen protector).

You`re braver than me

Well, it should be fine inside the pocket, and the jeans is thick enough to protect the Kaiser and soft enough to not scratch the surface.
The only downside is dirt inside the pocket, but like I said, I always wipe it out clean (usually in the screen area). It will be the same in the case, screen get dirt.
My wife quite jealous the way I treat my Kaiser Because I will wipe clean the table, take a clean paper or tissue and put it like a carpet before I put my Kaiser ...

Krussel will release the ORBIT case for the TyTN II during October.

PDAir have just released a couple of Kaiser cases, and there are a few similar cases on eBay. Piel Frama have told me they'll have one in the next month or so.
4ustuff is a Hong-Kong based wholesaler that has a lot of Kaiser stuff, some of which may make its way into the retail channel.

on the Pocket Solutions website they're offering a fullbody "SkinGuardz" for the Tytn II...only problem is it's not in stock...i prefer a solution like this vs. a case (although one drop on the ground might force me to change my mind).

I used a slightly altered PDAir case for the Hermes (i cut all the clear plastic off over the keyboard and used Velcro to attach the phone to the case - worked really well. But with the Kaiser I`m leaning more toward the pouch type case, or perhaps a thin silicone case, but Ive not seen one of those yet.

Just Wireless Case
I bought a case at Staples yesterday from a company called Just Wireless. It is for a Blackberry/ Treo 750, but the TyTN II fit's in it perfectly. It is a holster type and it has a slim belt clip. You can probably find them at Walmart, Target, and others like that as the case retails for about $18.00. (picture taken with my TyTN II attached)
It may not be the best case, but it does the job for someone like me who is on traveling all the time and needs quick access.

Another option is this camera case -- I picked one up at my local Fry's a couple weeks back for $6.99. I see they've lowered the online price to below $5 -- that's going to be hard to beat.

i am a huge fan of gizmoskin.com if you read reviews on the cases you will see they use a very high grade leather. looks amazing and holds up like a champ. i have not seen their equal except for very very expensive designer cases. have been using their cases for he last 3 years
i asked them about a kaiser case and they said thy would look into it. if you want a nice case shoot them an email and say your interested.

I would love this one! (Cause I'm paranoid and had a Metal one for my Wizard...) but I can't seem to find anyone that carries them...

How is the case that comes with the Kaiser
I hope the one that comes with the Tilt is the same

As far as free cases go the one that comes with the Kaiser is excellent, very soft. I am waiting on a holster because I don't like taking the phone out the case while driving.

I use the holster I had for my old 8525. It fits my new TyTN ll perfectly.

In my opinion Krusell make quality cases which are practical. I bought one for my Vaio I. recently the clip broke, due to rushing through a doorway and having the phone yanked off the clip.
Krusell said send it back with proof of purchase and they will replace beacuse it comes with A LIFETIME gurantee.

Best case for Tilt

Hey guys/gals, just thought I'd share this with you. I bought this case for my Tilt and it's one of the best I've had. The phone fits perfect in this case. Snug but easy to get out. I paid $12 on ebay for it. Make sure you buy the one with the attached belt clip (like in my pic). There is another one on there that allows you to change the belt clip. I had that one too but (same perfect fit) but unless you have a thin belt, the clip will not catch the belt. I'll include one of my previous cases. This one is just a better looking case and feels real sturdy. Hope you like it.

Have you seen a case that exposes the miniUSB port? I've seen a lot of good cases, but none that will expose the miniUSB. My second option would be just to go with the Seidio Slim Ruberized case.

Unfortunatly no I haven't. There's a thread on here that has the Seido clip with mods on it. Looks sweet.

I recently had bought a case for my Wing (before getting the tilt) and it fits the tilt perfectly and allows access to the usb port - unfortunately it seems the ebay seller is no longer registered so I can't even get the details from the auction.
This is HTC branded and the listing was titled NEW HTC TOUCH SHADOW MOGUL VX6800 MDA OEM LEATHER CASE

It works that well? I was interested in both the orbit and carholickit (think i still have an old one), but was thinking the flap would be in the way when using it for GPS? This isn't the case?

Thanks for the GREAT review.

I have this HTC OEM case and it's real nice and pretty cheap. Fits perfectly with the Seidio case installed on the Tilt.

I recently purchased the Seidio rubberized case/holster combo. This is an excellent product. I was looking for protection for the Tilt's body, however, wanted to access the screen. I was using the metal case from Monaco, very well built, however, twice my Tilt fell out of the case when the unit was on my belt and the latch caught on the bumper of my car and the Tilt when bouncing on the pavement. Also, my signal was very weak with the metal case, never realized this was the problem as I always used a metal case. I switched to this combo unit and I now have an extra 1-2 bars of signal regularly. Also, I like the fact the holster will hold the unit with the skin in place, faces inward, giving max protection to the screen which is easily accessed. If you want a case to protect the body of the tilt, access the screen easily, and use with a belt clip (do not have to use the clip holster), I could not imagine a better choice. I am very happy with the quality and design of the unit.

i second that one. ive gone thru metal, silicone, plastic and even leather cases for my tilt. none of which seemed to work until I went with the seidio innocase holster combo that the gentleman above me stated. its really the best case and it comes with the holster facing inward so you can have maximum protection for your phone with easy access. point blank period.

With that case do you have to face it inside, and is it really worth $50.00? Geez their high.
I already have a soft rubber case and wondering if I could get buy just buying the holster for it.

not necessarily, you could face it either way and its worth it. believe me, its worth it. even though its a little pricey.

The rubberized case is good. I gave up on the holster because the clip kept getting caught and would disengage the phone causing it to fall.
I got a Palm Treo case and it fits perfectly. The Seidio case also prevents the Tilt's buttons from being accidentally pressed.
This is the best combination of all the cases I have tried.

Leather case for Tilt with Seidio Rubberized Case

I bought the Seidio rubberized slim case for my Tilt that I am pretty happy with. Now, I am looking for a leather case(horizontal or vertical) with a belt clip that would be large enough for the phone+seidio rubberized case.
I see many listed on EBAY meant for the tilt, but I am not sure if they would be a tight fit with the seidio case and most don't list dimensions.
If you have bought a leather case from EBAY or other sources that has worked for you with the Seidio Rubberized case, please send me a link.
Are there cases made for other larger phones/blackberry's that might work?
Thanks,
Oz

BTW: This was only a few post down from the first post.

Hello,
I have a Seidio "hybrid" case, I found a Cellet case on eBay for about $9 and the sedio cased phone fits in just fine. It was a little tight at first but it broke in after a couple days.
There is one on eBay now from the seller I got mine from. Item number 270265549780.

I wanted to do the same thing and ended up buying the Hermes/8525 leather case with the elastic on the side. The Hermes case was slightly larger than the OEM Kaiser case.
My Kaiser with the rubberized case fits perfectly:

Thanks for the replies. I ended up buying the following cases, and will decide on one to keep:
The first one is the HTC 8925 Horizontal Case which was on sale for $14 at accesorypost.
I checked with another member who confirmed that it works well with the Seidio rubberized case over the phone.
The second one is the Monaco Leather vertical pouch. It seems pretty nice, and has the clip in the back. That was for $24.95
I'll report back once I get them.
Thanks

This is the same case that i use with both the 8525 and Tilt, i like it cause I can plug the home charger into it while they are in the case.

The HTC 8925 horizontal case is great. It holds the phone with the Seidio rubberized case, and it's a perfect fit. Best accessory i have purchased for my phone so far.
The Monaco vertical case looks very nice, and I wish it had worked out for me. But the Tilt with the Seidio case does not fit in the Monaco at all.
Also, the phone by itself is a very very tight fit inside the Monaco case.
My initial verdict on the Seidio case has changed. I was pretty happy with it during the first couple of weeks when I got it. After 2+ months of using it I don't think it was worth the money. The clips that are supposed to hold the case attached to the phone come off very easily(especially when the phone is in my pants pocket). The other day I noticed that one of the clips was broken, now the case is pretty much useless and it is off my phone...

Is this Seidio case designed in 2 pieces "clipped" together? Just curious as I was thinking of picking up one and wondering if it's worth it. It "looks" durable..

Are there any quality cases/skins for the Touch Pro yet?

I've been looking and I want A Seidio innocase but they're not in production yet.So are there any good ones yet?

Careful!!!!!
Guys, be careful with those flip leather bags!
I'm having really bad experience with this one. It has a sheet of protective foil (0.5 mm thick) over the keyboard, so when the screen is closed, this foil is pushing the screen away from the keyboard.
One week of using this crap bag and now I can actually pull the screen away from the keyboard 1mm or so (left side in closed position). And when I shake the closed phone holding the keyboard, i can see and hear the screen flapping.
Apparently the hinges are not stable enough to resist any objects between them. I don't see a way of tightening them up myself. (Although I'm pretty do-it-myself guy, don't feel like taking this thing apart without instructions).
So I'm just getting myself an aluminium case, at least it won't get worse, 'cause the screen and keyboard are allways fixed against each other.
And I strongly recommend you consider whether you want to ruin an expensive unit with a cheap bag.

I add this one. It's a high quality leather case.
A little bit expansive but i'm so glad to have it, it's really good.

I really want this case, but does anyone know of a side case that exposes the miniusb, so I can plug in my headphones

Agreed, I personaly refused to use that type of case after seeing another touch pro flapping after it got taken out its case. Mines thankfully has never been in such case and is still like new. Avoid may well be the best advise. However it does limit what you can pick though. I use the HTC sleve, and then put that in my mini s belt case. A bit bulky, but until a good solution comes about, it'll have to do.

I too use the sleeve that comes with it but my problem is when I keep it in my pocket , sometimes when I receive a call , it answers on its own , very irritating
