The one that came from T-mobile looks good but the clip is a waste of space and tends to fall off whenever i sit in the car.
I used an older case that i was about to bin which had the same magnetic closure and had a double clasp at the back which never came off my belt - but sadly the front fell apart and the wizard got bruised on the street.
So anything that is a good fix to a belt - preferably with a magnetic catch - and reliable enough not to let the phone bounce onto the road.
I am not looking for a case to keep it in while in use - just one to carry it on my belt.
Thanks in advance.
I use a Krusell 'Horizontic' http://www.krusell.se/productUni.php?productID=1436&category=27. I'm very pleased with it and they aren't too expensive.
Thanks - I had seen that already - but could not find anyone selling it on ebay or in real life.
I liked it as....

as everyone has black phone cases!
On eBay, contact this seller: paylessalways
He has always been able to get me anything Krusell makes....
I use the SenaCase Pouch for the Treo 650 and it works perfectly: http://www.senacases.com/cart/home.php?cat=345
Anyone know who supplies that krussel one in real life or on the net?
Try this one:

Thanks to all.
I saw this place - and they seem cheapest but I dont see the brown/red one (and the guy on ebay is not listing just now).
http://www.eliteelectronics.co.uk/MDA_Vario_Leather_Case.html
They have the most expensive one for under twenty quid ($35).
But I am not sure if the belt straps are closed with poppers.
I will call them in the morning.
Got a Krusell one from this guy in the UK....
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/BP-SALES-DIRECT
The prices were good and I got it very quickly. He differentiates between standard vertical cases and horozontal ones by calling the latter pouches.
If anyone is thinking about getting a Krusell "plus" series case - the belt attachment is held on at the bpttom by two press studs so can pop off the belt. The cheaper one and the platinum one dont so I guess are better cases.
There is also a PDA case that offers an outside flap that is secured by two press studs that can store batteries/sims/memory cars in the flap - I guess this one offers better protection for your kit but is not available for the wizard.
Well, i have send a mail to Piel Frama, i was wondering of they are also
making a perfect in leader build case for the Ameo or HTC, i got a nice
reply returned.
So let's wait for the good news

Nice. I also emailed Ruben yesterday asking the same question.
Maybe we should use this time to provide this vendor with some input. Request things we would like to see in an Athena case by compiling a list from interested members then send this to Ruben. What do you guys think about the idea?

Great idea.
First request has to be - magnets to hold the keyboard in the case, and not a nasty plastic sheath like on the otherwise excellent PDair case.
Belt clip...suggestions to Piel Frama.
Of course, we must have a belt clip.
No plastic cover for the screen please. I haven't had a case that has plastic for the screen that I've liked. I always ended up cutting out the plastic. I like using the screen protectors better and allows you to actually tap the screen without issues.
Place a plastic see through "window" on the case to be able to view the "status bar" when the phone is "closed". I would like to be able to see this area when having the phone closed while in its case.
Mesh covering on the speakers. I don't like to cover the speakers at all but would like a mesh covering to protect it without hindering the sound.
If I think of more items I'll post them.
Edit #1: No flap (closing snap or whatever it's called) on the case please. As with the original case, this isn't needed and I see most others have this. It just gets in the way and is annoying and not necessary for this phone.
Edit #2: Maybe a plastic insert for the clear plastic end of the keyboard to avoid scratches on the device. This is a bit stretching it but I'm posting the recommendation anyhow.

personally, i think most of the Athena owner won't really want belt clip, it's too heavy and big to use it that way, and also most importantly, there is just no suitable place to allocate the belt clip, if the belt clip is under the screen, then the surface is not flat anymore therefore you can't use the keyboard.
Personally, i think 80% that Piel Frama Case won't have a belt clip.
p.s. I know a few members here in this thread will want to prove me wrong, well, all i can say is time will tell.
The great thing about the Piel Frama cases is that the clip is optional. You don't have to attach it if you don't want to. If you do want the clip, you pop out a little plastic thingy and screw in the clip "wheel" and use a clip...so this solution will work for all...hopefully.
Edit: Here's an animated GIF of how the clip system works on their cases... http://www.pielframa.com/Animaci%F3n%20grande%20pinza%20super%20nueva.gif

I'm e-mailing Ruben now asking him to check out this post.
Well done, hopefully he will look here and see what options are possible as they go to design? I definitely DO want a belt clip, as where I work I need both hands, but would like the Ameo handy when it's needed!!
Tim
I want:
Mostly as per the PDair case - I like the protection at the front of the Ameo.
Magnetic keyboard attachment, magentic, slide or push clip latch to keep it closed.
Belt loop, or another method of attachment that doesn't leave a component on the case. No pegs.
I don't like the status bar, I don't "use" it per se. It wastes backlight, running the whole screen, and isn't visible in the case anyway.
Of course, I really want it to be Not As Good (or just the same) as the PDair case, so I don't end up spending YET MORE MONEY!
Man, don't you peoples' pants/trousers ever fall down from weighty clip ons? There's NO WAY I could clip the Athena. My pants would come down to my knees!

I actually wear pants that fit like they are supposed to.
For me, the three things I'm looking for in a case are:
1) Something like the pdair case covering the housing of the phone in leather so the keyboard plastic bit doesn't scratch the screen.
2) Clip/latch to hold the thing shut.
3) Magnetic keyboard holder.
I personally don't need a belt clip, but any company that made it optional would probably be selling a lot of cases at the moment!
P.S. Has anyone noticed that Proporta are working on a case at the moment? It's on their website, but sadly no pictures yet.
All good idea to refer him to this post.
The belt option is no solution for this type of device i thinks
indead to carry a brick on you pants is not the way.
I think there should be made a wallet like case with the option to take
also some memory cards and other stuff in it, indead avoid the plastic
holder for the keyboard.
this case looks very nice.
http://www.pielframa.net/texas_instruments_voyage200.asp
let see where they come's up with..
I think that a belt clip or at least an option to have one would be a great idea. Would mean that the case would appeal to more customers from a marketing side of things. I would wear mine on a belt clip at work and then prob put in my pocket in the evening.
I wonder if anyone would make a leather case just for the screen without the keyboard? Id like to just carry the screen around without the keyboard, yet id be worried about the screen being protected when in my pocket.
So funky new case is a great idea, lets hope and im sure it will be a smart case
i'm looking for pielframa's UNIVERSAL PDA CASE BLACK fit to the athena (perfect would be a seperate pocket for the keyboard).
A case for parts of the Athena
The case that comes with Athena is very good when you want the whole thing with you. What I would like is a case that allows me to only take the phone part, not the keyboard. Something slim that protects the screen. It would allow me to safely take the Athena with me when space is sparse.

Hi all,
I have a case question for you. And it deals with a specific type of case, so that's why I didn't use one of the other threads. I'm looking for a pouch for my Tilt. Like the Krussell Vertica. What I'm after is a vertical leather pouch, that is made just for the tilt only. I can find all kinds of universal ones out there, but they all too big since they fit the HTC apache (6700) I'm after something that fits the tilt snugly. Here's a couple I've found so far:

I've looked at the sensa pouch cases as well. Can anyone recommend a good one that isn't made for all kinds of phones? any ideas? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone has pointed this one out in another thread, it looks nice but they said they could find it for like $15... which I havent been able to do...

A friend of mine has his Tilt in a case like you are describing... I think he said it was actually a Treo 750 case, but his Tilt fit perfectly.
-Jay
I have posted this in this forum before. The Treo 680/750 is within a mm of the dimensions of the Tilt. Any Treo pouch fits like a glove on the Tilt. I am currently using a fitted Treo pouch as my main phone holder.
You can get that Cellet case for less than $11.00 on Amazon.com. I bought one today.

Thanks Gaby... I was looking for one that said Tilt... didnt know the Treo one would work... I likey the price... I wonder what the clearances would need to be if you have the rubberized case on the Tilt
Just picked up this case at Bestbuy... fits nice and should have enough room for when I put on the hard skin...

I received my Cellet case from Amazon. My Tytn ll has a rubberized hard case and it fits perfectly inside it.
I need to say this case is beautiful... For $6.00 plus shipping is a great buy.

I have that HTC one from best buy listed above, it fits prefectly, has 2 magnets holding the flap closed and the belt clip is metal. It also has a soft velvet interior to resist scratches.
Would be nice if the clip had a double lock on it, though.
~~~
Another I really like is this one; from at&t.
It is in the "Universal Cell Phone" category at the store, at first it was too small, but after a few hours use, it stretched to fit my tilt like a glove. This one makes a real nice case if you need something a little more rugged, its clip made of a heavy (pvc like) plastic that double locks around your belt, making it impossible to accidently come off. The "Ballistic" Canvas has a quality feel and the velcro feel like it will last, not the cheapstuff.
Just be carefull until it stretches, it had the tendency of catching the stylus, doesn't anymore though.
~~~
Both are a bit pricey, but considering the cost of the phone, I wouldn't trust those $9.95 specials, unless I could get my hands on it first. My friend found a $10 version of the HTC one, but the leather on it feels like it would wear down and rip pretty quickly.

This case is actually made by Nite Ize, and it is available on Amazon. The LARGE size fits the Tilt best compared to SMALL or PDA/Smartphone. The magnet version is also better than the velcro one.
I currently use the case that came with my kaiser. However the velcro is almost worn out and i need a new case. Really, the only requirement is that i can easily remove the phone from the case with one hand. Its hard to tell looking at pictures whether this is possible. It would also be nice if it swiveled. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hi I've just purchased a monaco leather case from e**y - Newpdacases; specifically for the Kaiser - it's great ...
It swivels 360, With one hand, push the button on the belt clip and the case lifts off easy, flip the tab with your thumb and the full face is accessible - I like it and would recommend
good luck

thanks i will check this one out.
I bought a Krusell, i can't remember the size but it fits the Tilt very well. The others I used were for the 8525 which is close in size but they didn't fit well. Taking it out takes a little practice since you have to push from the bottom of the case and slide it out, but i love the quality of leather. It's also a fixed clip. So you may hate it, but my 2 cents
http://www.krusell.se/productUni.php?productID=2412&category=49
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

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.
