Its a bit worn on the casing and the metal piece on the front is gone but everything works great and comes with a 2GB card, power adapter and stylus.
I've posted it on EBay

I've dropped my Jamin a few times and since the OEM case doesn't protect the corners of the phone, the housing looks like crap. So, I decided to look for a replacement housing.
Can't remember if I saw the post on here or at howardforums.com, but someone had pointed out that this place sells Dopod/Qtek housings.
http://cnn.cn/shop/dopod-e818-housing-p-704.html
I ordered a case and paid via Paypal. The order went thru fine but then the order status page was stuck on "payment received" for about a week and a half. I sent an email asking when my housing would ship and suddenly a shipment notification email arrived the next day. Don't know if that's a coincidence or not, but it shipped and that's what matters.
Received the case today and I was surprised to receive an O2 XDA case instead of a Dopod or Qtek housing. Actually, this was a good thing because I think the O2 logo is much more attractive than Dopod or Qtek.
I popped open my Jamin, swapped out all the guts into the new housing and pressed the power button. My Jamin still works!
But there's a problem...the stylus is REALLY loose in the new housing! #@%$#@!! I'm positive I didn't have any extra parts left over when I put the thing back together! I crack open the housing again to see what the cause is. Comparing the old and new housing (the middle piece, since that's where the stylus resides), I see that the new housing is missing a little white plastic part that holds the stylus. Unfortunately that little piece is welded onto the old housing! Lucky for me, the middle piece of my old housing only has very small anf faint scratches. So instead of trying to remove the welded stylus holder, I elect to reuse the middle piece of my old housing. Put everything back together again...problem solved!
My Jamin (now XDA) looks like new again. Overall, I think it was money well spent.
BTW, I used these instructions (linked in wiki) to help me change the housing.

IMO, the instructions could be much better. When I have time, I think I will write a better set with more pictures.
My cases are orange m600 OEMs, but logos can be removed easily, and include the stylus latch in the chassis as well as fascia buttons. And they are about $20 cheaper ;-)

How do you remove the logos on the prophet?

Pro method - fibreglass pencil
amateur method - rub a sugarcube over
Both at your own risk mind you!

Has all original packaging and manuals, couple of spare styli, charger, data cable, unused case etc, it all works, there are a few cosmetic marks (no scratches on the screen), but they’re just that - cosmetic, don’t affect the function in any way shape or form. These will be well detailed in photos which I'm taking over the weekend.
There are two small dents in the metal plate on the back of the screen (they have to be small, any half decent sized dent there cracks the screen), and a small rub mark where I mistakenly put keys and XDA in same pocket once.
The black has rubbed from the outer corner of each hinge bit (the bits which protrude upwards from the main body/keyboard section of the device), and the usual shiny spots above/below the screen, and on some keys.
Collected today from the O2 shop after going away for repair - there was a problem with the headset socket which made the phone think that the headset was still plugged in - the phone has a brand new circuit board installed, and has also had the hinge tightened up. It may or may not have had the screen replaced, there is a sticker over it with the hinge instructions on, which I haven't removed, so I don't know if it's a new screen or not - no scratches or unreliable spots though - works like a charm.
Includes 2GB SD card, and would consider including the dual sim adapter too.
Asking £200, but open to offers (including 8GB ipod nano 2nd generation)
Delivery in UK = parcel2go.com next day insured to £250 = £12.99 + VAT (£15.26)
Alternatively your choice of courier/delivery method if insurance is adequate or you're happy for it to go uninsured (you'd be mad to, but there you go)
Delivery is possible outside the UK, but talk to me to discuss postage
Bank transfer or paypal accepted, cheque possible, but dispatch would have to wait until cheque cleared.
Is this still for sale?
message sent. Cash waiting because I broke mine
Yup, still for sale.
xiasma, have replied to your message.
It's the Orange M600 variety and it's unlocked.
I fitted a brand new housing as the old one was a bit scratched and I've fitted a Motorola rear speaker as the original HTC one was hopeless.
Oh and I've included a desk cradle, Brodit passive car cradle, a 1GB SD card and a set of Seido headphones. None of the fit my Hermes.
If you're interested click the link in my sig. I'll remove it when sold.
Cheers,
I bought the PDAir flip case for the Kaiser last week and got it in yesterday's mail. You can order it from PDAir direct -- there's also a guy on eBay selling them for $18.99.
The case is a very snug fit -- the keyboard slides into a pouch formed by the back of the case and a clear plastic keyboard cover. This works much better than the clear plastic & velcro keyboard cover their Wizard case used -- the Wizard case was pretty loose, and the Velcro doesn't hold up to repeated opening/closing.
The case cutouts (for buttons, USB jack, etc) match up pretty well once you get the Kaiser firmly seated -- that can take a bit of work since the case is so snug. These cutouts make the buttons easy to find -- especially the power button.
The only real problem with this case, IMHO, is the lack of microSD card storage -- previous PDAir cases have had at least one card storage pocket. Overall I'd give this case an 8.5 out of 10.

Nice review, I'll probably get one.

I find an 8/16GB micro sd card enough, I put the spares in my normal money wallet.
I bought one a while back and it lasted less than a month,I was using the belt clip and the leather on the back became loose and the case became useless.!
PDA Air book type case
Bought this on ebay $15 + postage another $15 to GB
I don't use belt clips, it is a little thick and tight, may wear in. I seem to buy a whole shed load of accessories initially, see what I like, and then re-cycle the rest back onto ebay.
So far i quite like it if I'm walking about, but in the office, I tend to take it out and put it my shirt pocket (why do so many work shirts these days are less a pocket!!?)
I have both PDAir and Krusell case and to be frank, I like the PDAir more. However, beware of the screwed in belt clip as it might get loosen after some time, I dropped mine once but luckily on the carpet.
I Agree that the PDAir is a pretty good case, the belt clip post is the only part I changed. For a case that can stay on and be fully functional, and clip into a car mount, this one is hard to beat.
Here's my review and pics of my "improvements";

I have since switched to the Pocket Solutions "Signature Series" flip as it's the best of all worlds for me as I can use the phone as a touch screen type and then very easily slip the phone out of the case to use the keyboard and/or show off the phone with no case. It really has the best swivel post I've ever seen;

I bought the rectangular one with the free battery and it fits great and works great. The price for the whole thing was less then half the price of a battery from AT&T. Only thing is it took almost 3 wks to get.
I'm thinking about getting another one for my office.
How about this one ? Not sure how bulky it is but it looks nice.

Where did you bought your vent clip???
thanks
i'm looking for a carmount that doesn't involve a suction cup.I'm really looking for something that can be clipable to the air vent and be able to handle weight since i primarily use an extended battery
Update. I found this instead http://www.proclipusa.com/?sectionp...tegoryid=&p_year=&p_countryid=0&p_leftorright=
I got one aradio shack for $15 that works great. Clips into vent and adjust in size to grip from sides. Charger still fits while in cradle too. Kevin
The one I use is a $9 one from wal-mart. it clips to the air vent & has adjustable sides w/ a space on the bottom for chargers.
Do you like the one from walmart?
Pro Clip is where its at
I bought this set, Everything works great especially for the price.
My first plastic case had the issue of one corner not fitting right, so i contacted them, and they sent out a new one the next day. Fit perfectly.
But it has the car cradle, and a very nice leather holster that holds the phone snug.
amazon has a ginormous variety of all types of holders. i got one a few weeks ago that comes with windshield mount and is also interchangeable to the air vent. also some that are actually custom to the phone for a little more $ with a charger port built in.
