What case comes with the K-JAM?

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.

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

See my blog relating to a new aftermarket case designed for the K-JAM.

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 !

Need some opinions on this silicone case ...

I am interested in buying this silicone case for my AT&T Tilt from eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Silicone-Case-f...ryZ15036QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I was hoping if anyone else purchased it would recommend it or not?
Also, if anyone else knows of any other silicone cases out there, please post to let us know. I did not discover too many types of silicone cases myself.

And if no one is familiar with the case in the first post, what about this rubber made case: http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=896

$4.50 for a silicon case? Well, I suppose even if the case is poor quality, you won’t greatly out of pocket.
That picture on ebay is pretty bad. I can hardly distinguish the silicon case from the device itself

This case is already being discussed on this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352605
And towards the last couple of pages, it is briefly discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336542&page=23
Yes, I do think it is one of the best. It looks like it offers more than adequate protection without compromising its lightness in weight. I will look to order this particular case next week when shipping begins (according to one of the members)

My last question about the Seidio case is that is it a snap on case? I have bought a case previously for HTC Wizard and the little plastic things that are supposed to the cover on the phone broke.
- TKN

I don't know what you mean by snap on case. Remember that the case is rubber and not plastic.
Perhaps if you refer to the thread below, you may find answers to your questions:

A whole thread is being devoted to discussing this particular Siedo case already

Try this one!
Don't know if you're dead set on a silicone case for your phone but i personally went for a crystal hard case as the silicone cases don't really work too well with these phones as there is an open end on them in order for the keyboard to slide, plus i couldn't really find one that i liked the look of.
So i got one of these from this seller in Hong Kong... arrived in 4 days and the quality is excellent!
Have dropped it once and there was no damage to the case or phone. Even came with a screen protector too!

I too bought one of the crystal hard two piece case for my Kaiser. I was a little iffy when I got it out the packaging at first but it is now top of my eBay best ever purchases list.

Crystal Case+Screen Protecter for HTC TyTN II/2/P4550
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/AccessoriesShopHK
It not only creates a plastic protective environment for the phone that is not in the least intrusive to every day use, but without wishing to sound in the least vain, it makes the phone look utterly gorgeous and yummy. I have had many comments since using my Kaiser in public, but over the last few days several people where I hang out have wondered what the hell phone I was using to type on.
Point is...GET this item if you want to protect your phone and at the same time enhance its looks.

I bought that silicone case you linked to and let me tell you that thing is horrible. The fitment is all loose and it basically falls off.

Which silicone case are you referring to so that I can avoid it also?
- TKN

the one on ebay from that hong kong seller.. the one that only covers the back and not the front

yep bought one of those crystal case+screen protector from ebay as well. Just arrived today and I am already loving the case. It looks great.

carrying pouch (clip or loop?)

I'm looking for a carrying pouch for my phone.
The type I"m looking for is one that has loops for my belt to pass through. My impression is that the pouch with the loop for the belt to pass through is more secure than the clip-on pouch. I volunteer at a ambulance corp and theres a lot of running around and equipment carrying and things like that. Last thing I want happening is me squatting and accidentally squeezing the release trigger of the pouch with my thigh and upperbody only to have my phone fall off.
Can anyone recommend a good case for under $15 that has what I"m looking for?
Thanks

I too am looking for one of these. Let us know if you find one. At the moment I am using a Kathmandu camera case.

i got this off ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Leather-B...ries?hash=item5881d62264&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
less than $5 (might be cheaper if you search by price, and compare pics, or ebay bucks)
fits just nice...

how is it? the quality and everything of it?

look up 'Golla' bags on ebay. they are cheap because a lot of them couldn't be sold (not many American retailers carry this brand) so the overstock goes on ebay. however, they are of good quality and the current one i've been using for a few years. the brand specialize in making/ selling bags of all kind. check it out

I use this when I need my phone to stay put on my belt while I'm doing something strenuous. The steel belt loop is nearly indestructible, and the Velcro takes a long time to wear out.

You my good man are a legend!
If you had ANY idea how long i've been searching and searching for somethine like this for my TP you'd be shocked!lol
this seems to fit the bill perfectly, will post back once my 'Golla Ruutu Brown' arrives!
cheers dude!

I just upgraded from the 6800 to the Touch Pro today at my local Radio Shack and got a case as well that has a good strong metal clip, both horizontal & vertical belt loops, as well as a small carabiner and pen loop on it. The flap secures with Velcro, but it has a buckle on it to help keep it securely fastened. I do a lot of biking (the mountain kind, not the motor kind) and needed a good case that wouldn't leave my phone in the middle of the woods somewhere. I think this one is almost perfect. The phone fits in snug, yet not too snug. The only way I would say it would be better would be if it had a softer lining inside it, it's not made for touch screens. Would recommend a screen protector, which you have on anyways, right? Thought so. ;-) Here is the manufacture's page for it. The model # is CI-RUGGED-MB. Only cost around $12, but it was at Radio Shack, and they charge over $100 for a 120GB hard drive that you can get on newegg for $30-40...

If you want a really goood case for under 15 bucks, i reccomend buying
this case from wireless emporium. Ive been using it for almost a year now, and it is extremely sturdy and durable, and only for 13 bucks, i LOVE it.
The best part is FREE shipping and you get it within a 7 days!

[Q] Help finding the best Flip Case

also have the right to left open design.
I also have the poetic hardcover and it was 5 bucks on amazon. Works pretty good too.

I hated the Poetic. Finally settled on the Mercury. It is not leather, but has kind of linen feel, is well made and fits well, with a nice magnetic latch.
BTW, Samsung wants 60 bucks for that flip case... which is kind of a rip IMHO.

My Nillkin fresh case has held up well for me, but I acknowledge they're not of the best quality. The < $15 offerings I've seen don't seem to have great quality either, though I would be happy if someone had a counterexample.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MERCURY-ORI...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item4ac66ab484
This one (Mercury) looks similar to the Samsung flip cases, though the back could be nicer and though I haven't tried it, I'm expecting it to have ok quality like the Nillkin.
The Korean wallet ones on ebay are nice but may be bulky compared to this one, and are more expensive (~$25).

I got mine from one through eBay. I ordered two and they replaced one but now say they'll give me a discount on my next purchase. Doesn't really fill me with confidence :/ . Do you still use yours? I do. I've just burned the edges to seal the open flaps. Scruffy but effective.

Best Rugged Note 10 Plus Case For Your Money -- Sorry Otterbox!

This case is something special. The phone is completely protected, and when I mean completely, that is an understatement as it has 20 feet drop protection!
Everything from the fingerprint sensor, the buttons, the charging port. I have huge hands but I have no problem to get The S-Pen out. I highly suspect others people with larger hands will have a harder time to remove the stylus.
Once you put this case on you'll probably never remove until you get your next phone as the removal process can prove difficult for some. For $20 and prime shipping, I don't see why anyone would spend more for less protection. An easy 5 stars, case closed!
And there is not screen protector comes with it. I think that a glass screen protector is going to be the way to go on this phone due to the stylus. If all other things were the only factor, the case is a solid choice for the money.
All in all, this case is a great alternative to the Otterbox Defender style case. . I am very pleased and for less than half the price of a Defender style case, this is beyond a good bargain.

Looks far too plasticy IMO.

I just received my Note 10+ Aura Blue and the black ArmadilloTek case. Pretty awesome case. Good grip, buttons are eat to push but don't stick out too far, easy to install, and good protection all around. I would definitely recommend for the price over OtterBox, it's not as bulky as OtterBox. Case isnt as big as the pictures look and the kick stand is strong. Will definitely be my daily driver case.
Here are some pics on my phone:

I was unable to get wireless charging to work through this case using 5 different wireless chargers so I removed it. Sturdy case though.

You just need to give it a few seconds to react, or you might need to rotate your phone a little bit.
My complaint is that the powersharing doesn't work at all.

I looks too "loud" for my taste. Been using the OB Symmetry case for a week now and I think it hits the right balance between a thin case but with some good protection. Very mature-looking.
