Best Pouch for the Tilt/Kaiser

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...
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...+case&lp=2&type=product&cp=1&id=1166840037625

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.

Case ....

I want a nice all over protective leather case for the HD2 ... I just don't feel comfortable taking out without one.
The only decent ones I see are the Piel Frama ones ...
Sadly the one that Expansys do is the (in my opinion) pig ugly iMagnum one
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-hd-2-imagnum-cases.htm
This one not only looks a little industrial / hard / smooth ... but it isn't clear how it grips the device.
The Classic looks perfect ... but I can't find it in the UK ... and it's very pricey direct.
It covers nearly all the sides, clearly grips the device safely all over ... and it looks elegant.
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-hd-2-tan-cases.htm
Anyone got any other ideas ?

Pielframa
I just got my PielFrama Case for 70 Euros shipped to Thailand, it's a classic one with black-tan color, It also looks so perfect. The one I got looks exactly like the following link :
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-hd-2-blacktan-cases.htm
Will share some pics as soon as the phone arrives Thailand.

I believe any Toshiba TG01 case should fit perfectly. Obviously except silicon ones...

I know Piel Frama are expensive but are excellent quality and you get great service from them. I had one for my HD, it split at the bottom and I could not remember where I bought it. I contacted Piel Frama and within a week I had a replacement....FOC.
I like the custom version where you can choose colour and have text added, but £90!!

What's wrong with the original leather case?
It kind of like apple's, but stylish...

I ordered the Classic Piel Frama in black direct. There is a 10 day production delay which is a pain ... but it is clearly the best on the market ... it covers ever edge yet still exposes the rocker, USB, 3.5mm jack, camera, flash, ear phone and speaker.
The slip case that came with it was too tight. I know it would loosen ... but given that the smallest bit of grit in a case that tight would leave the most appalling mark, it wasn't worth the risk. I also need in protected all the time ... and I need it on my belt ... personal needs, but important for me.
Got the pair of HTC protectors yesterday. Will put one on at the weekend.
Paul.

You not able to discuss this on the Leo accessories board?
It's there for a reason you know.

leather belt clip? T-Mo US HD2

any leather belt clips that are confirmed to work with the hd2, tmo version? Im sure for a leather belt clip it will fit both, but i have yet to find one that is made for the hd2. the previous htc version for the TP2 is too thick and not wide enough for it to fit.
any suggestions?

well i bought one for 19.99 from best buy buy the name rocketfish and it fit the phone perfectly and so far the best one i have found as of now

cool. ill check it out

I was at my local Best Buy yesterday and they had nothing that met my standards. They did have a HTC Branded horizontal belt pouch that it fit great for the size, however the pouch itself was 3 times thinker then needed. I am picky with my pouches and belt clips for my phones. I do have my Invisible shield and a few Silicon sleeves coming soon so I may try some over pouches out when I get my new stuff.

tmobile stores have a generic one for the g1 & sidekick that works pretty well.

Holster
anyone tried/played with/other this one?
http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-60820/HTC+HD2+Black+Diplomat+Leather+Case.html
A bit pricey, but seems like a nice slim fit ...

HTC D2 carrying cases
I found two leather carrying case for HTC D2 wirelessemporium.com has one it called premium horizontal black leather carrying case for htc Hd2 Item# LOC-HTC-OHD2-01 free shipping price 15.29 and I found a outdoor style carrying case HTC HD2 from cellphoneshop.com with shipping and handling 9.58 I got both and like the leather one so go get it and good luck

I picked up a T-mobile Wing leather pouch/belt clip for $5 on clearance at the store the day the phone was released. Works great for me and the case seems to be higher quality than a few others I have had.

Been using the old sidekick pouch myself. For about 2 years. HD2 fits in, but is far too snug. Pouch is raggedy anyway...

PDAir has some nice cases for HD2.
I use this one for T-Mobile HD2

I'm also looking for a leather belt pouch. I got a generic one (it's actually the one being offered in most online stores by default) that doesn't exactly fit the phone. Looks to be for a squatter, fatter device, but it stretches enough to fit an HD2.
What I'd like is a agenda-like one where the device is held inside by the corners, with a bottom access for the 3.5mm at least, a side access to the rocker switch, and a magnetic (or velcro, I'm willing to compromise) flap that secures the device.
If my dad were still alive we'd make a killing making those kind of cases and selling them here. Best leather worker ever. Sniff sniff...

well i just put these 2 items for shipping , lets see how good they are . Its just about 15 on both items ( with shipping )

[q] bumper case

Has any one found a bumper case for the yotphone 2 yet
some retailers including yota are providing them free with handset
yota customer services wont stipulate where from but just keep watching for any news. internet search doesnt show any one yet providing them . would be usefull!!!!

I got mine as part of a promotion for orders during most of January. As you say, some retailers are selling them along with the handset. Have you tried asking the facebook page? They seem pretty good with answering questions.

sorry but no face book or any other social network member, guess i will have to wait for yota or someone to enlighten me

Fair enough. Sorry then dude, hope they start being sold separately eventually for you.

Just thought would mention that the bumper is for sale on the yota website now. It may have been a while but just a heads up for those still looking for one.

Has anyone bought the aluminium bumper case?

I Bought an aluminium one on eBay. Short review and some pics:
- fit is OK, no slack
- finish looks OK, mine is matte black
- protrudes a bit to the front and the back (so the device does not lie on the glass when put down on a perfectly flat surface)
- edges are quite sharp, might leave marks on the case in due time. bumper has some soft tape on the inside, but that doesn't cover the sharp edges. The hole in the bottom for USB and microphone has these sharp edges too, not comfortable as I usually support the phone with my pinky there.
- adds about 2mm in width and 3mm in length to the phone. (7.2 x 14.8 cm with bumper, 7 x 14.5 cm without). Not too bad, but you can feel the difference initially.
- buttons can be operated OK, although power button does not stick out that much.
- small clasp in the corner
All in all not bad for a couple of dollars. I don't own the bumper as sold by Yota Devices, so I can't compare it.
Hopefully it will absorb some impact when falling on the floor too, but I will leave that part to someone else to review.
edit 1: some additions after 2 weeks of use:
- There seems to be some impact on reception. In an area with low signal strength, the bumper seems to cause the connection to become unstable/drop. Removing the bumper restores the connection. In good reception areas it's harder to note the impact.
- The sharp edges at the bottom are annoying me, I'll have to smooth them out, or lose the bumper.
- No scratches (yet) on the phone though from the bumper
edit 2: Don't know how I missed this earlier, but GPS reception is heavily impacted by this bumper
I went for a run yesterday, and my Endomondo app could not get a good lock. The map only showed approximate location, but it wouldn't start recording my run based on that. After 15 minutes still no lock, until I thought of the bumper. Removed it, and got a solid lock after 3 seconds...

Will the phone get scratches after use. Or r the ruff edges away from The device

I've only received it today, so can't comment on long-term use, but the sharp edges are on the inside as well. The little review above is mainly positive in the price/value department, the Yota Devices bumper might be higher quality.
Someone care to review the Yota bumper here?

I have a bumper case which came with the device but I don't know if it's from yotaphone. The bumper feels like silicone to me may be it's gel. I prefer gel cases. It feels flimsy.

I have the rubber bumper from yota itself, nice thing.
happy with it for 15usd

Yota Bumper
My "official" Yota Phone bumper arrived, here's a short review:
Material:
Not sure what the material is called, but it's like a matte rubber, but less flexible than rubber, thougher. It's somewhat grippy, but not too much. Doesn't feel like gel or silicone to me.
Dimensions:
It adds 2 mm in width, and 3 mm in length to the phone (just like the aluminium one). It fits nicely, altough the sides are slightly 'floppy', you can stretch it away from the phone easily. I can imagine that only getting slighty worse, not better over time.
features:
The bumper does not have 'real' plastic or metal buttons, buttons are just molded into the rubber. The back side has a thicker rim than the front.
Comparison with the aluminium one:
I have to say the cheap aluminium case looks slightly more classy to me, a bit more svelte, with nice paint & real buttons. It does have a small buckle, which some may find distracting.
The rubbery Yota one looks a bit more ordinary, less luxurious, to my taste. However the aluminium one does have practical drawbacks: sharp edges (especially annoying on the bottom opening), impact on reception (both mobile and particularly GPS, see below), and it might scratch the device at some time, although I haven't seen that in a few weeks of use.
The metal one takes a bit more care to put on, to prevent scratches, the rubber Yota one slips on in a second.
BTW: I updated the aluminium bumper review to mention poor GPS reception

Agreed, This looks like the bumper you can get from the Russian yotaphone store... they even do it in different colours
http://yotaphone.com/ru-en/store/#bumper

Does anyone know how to obtain the official yota bumper if one does not live in the UK or Russia (I am in Canada)? I have contacted the UK yota store but they will not ship outside of the UK. I cannot find it anywhere else with the usual online dealers (clove, expansys, ...). Thanks.

Cool cases check it out guys

It's sold in other countries too (I purchased mine from the French Yotaphone website), but this will be of limited benefit to you until they add Canada/USA to the list... (on a side note, anyone knows when the North America Indigogo campaign ends, and when the phone will be officially launched there?)
If you want, I have a trip planned to Canada in late August, I can certainly purchase one and either hand it to you if you live close to Montreal, or post it from there using local post services if you're too far away (Canada is definitely a biiig country).
Let me know if you're interested.

Cases for Umidigi Z Pro

Which cases are available at the moment? I think Umi Z cases fit?
Is there a 360° protection case with extra space in corners?

As far as I know, yes. Most sellers on Aliexpress indicate "for z/z pro".
Physical dimensions are similar AFAIK.

I use an apple 7+ case, cut the side for vol,power and top for headphone and fits fine, lots more choice just check 1st

Update.. just received the flip case. It provides all round protection on the edges.
The retail box on the "Z" case indicates for both Z Z Pro...
Pictures of the flip case attached.
Edit...
Unfortunately, the flip case came without the outside sleeve of the box. But I have seen somewhere that the label also says for Z/Z Pro.
I'm still waiting for my Z Pro to arrive. I don't own a Z currently but am sure they'll both fit the case.

Ebay has some cases.
I bought the case from ebay, you can search using this Hard Plastic Back Case For Umi Z/Umi Umidigi Z Pro Phone Protective Cover
It is pretty decent and slim.

This is one of the case, I'm using. Bought from Aliexpress, you should be able to buy from eBay as well.
It makes the phone look cooler but not much of a protection.

Has anyone found a rugged rubber style bumper case for the Z/Z Pro yet? I bought several cases and they are all rubbish at providing screen protection from a fall. I'm ideally looking for something like this which I used for 2 years on my OnePlus One. It has a nice rubber feel providing excellent grip and it has a raised bumper surround which protects the screen when the phone is placed screen down as well as providing solid shock absorption on all corners should the phone fall.
I really want to find something which will actually protect my new Z Pro!!

I've been searching as well. My conclusion is zilch.. Nothing will fit what you require. If only someone can design a bumper case that sits on the top edge of the unibody case, I doubt it would be effective given that slight amount of contact.
I would be happy to know too if anyone found that "perfect" bumper case.
Alternative I can think of now is to cut away the front of the S cover and use that bumper case. It's slightly better than the usual bumper case.
Just my opinion.
Cheers to all!

Having searched all the usual online stores (AliExpress, GeekBuying, Banggood etc) as well as eBay and Amazon I decided to try this iPhone 7 Plus case from Tudia which with some slight adaptation may do the job. I'll need to punch a hole on the top edge for the headphone jack (I plan to use a hole punch designed to make holes in leather belts) and I'll also need to trim/create space for the volume and power buttons which I plan to use a pinchers and/or a scalpel to shape and some sand paper to smooth out the finish.
That's the plan anyway!!!

Just FYI my plan didn't work out as the 7+ case is too loose on the Z to give me confidence to use it everyday so I've donated it to a friend who has a 7+.
Anyone know of a rugged 7+ case which is a nice tight fit for the Z?

If the result is that the case is a loose fit on the Z Pro, unlikely you can find anything to suit your bill.
Personally, I think the internal dimensions are crucial for a good fit.

Looks like Vodaphone Smart 6 phone is same size and layout at the Z , cases appear to fit fine without any modification ..
