So I finally got my Shift I love the little bugger, fantastic machine. However, the previous owner seems to have tossed the case overboard into a deep ravine. Not having a protective case is hampering its mobility for me, as this is not a device I would leave out unprotected.
What I am looking for is the OEM x9500 Shift case or some similar product. I cannot seem to find anyone selling this slip case that comes packaged with the Shift nor can I find something reasonably similar. What I can find are a few designer leather slip cases priced $50-100, which aren't exactly what I am looking for anyway.
I am looking for a simple slip case with a flap, I don't care if it is leather or not as long as it isn't sandpaper and it can be either magnetic or not. Looking for either someone selling theirs or who knows of a similar case for sale.
New, used, or torn up. It doesn't matter, it is a case.
Post here or PM me.
I did flip through the case thread and didn't find too much that interested me. The only one that I was even moderately interested in was http://4ustuff.com/info.php?itno=2661 However, I'd like to see if anyone has an OEM case for sale or something similar before I track down someone selling that one.
This is the best one I could find...

It's very similar to the "Proporta" one I have which does the job perfectly well.
Downside is it's from Hong Kong.
EDIT>> In fact, just looking at Proporta's website and here it is

Thanks for the find. That seemed to be the only other one I could find as well. I was wondering if the clips seem to damage / scratch the unit at all? Or get in the way while typing?

i like to have the kaiser in my jeans etc but with the supplied case (t-mobile) it is just too bulky. i need a solution that will protect the phone from falls etc but will allow me to keep it in my pocket without creating a huge bulge.
Im searching for the same thing, anyone an idea?
i think a skin would be the best bet but none are available yet, or some kind of sock case
I know one, you see that strap hook by the sync cable/charge insert on the kaiser?
Get a lanyard with quick release, attach it to your belt.
Get a screen protector.
There, all issues solved
The kaiser is already bulky in the pocket, dont think you will be able to find a case that wont be to encumbersome. Afterall the kaiser is best used on the belt clip.

The Kaiser does that to me everytime i look at it LOL
To answer your question though: There are currently very few companies who actually released cases for the Kaiser...i would suggest waiting until christmas, or january and then deciding instead of picking from the very few available ones now.
i'm using a BodyGuardz skin...check out the pictures in the attached zip file...
skins soon to be available from gpsforless.co.uk
i e-mailed them and they told me they are in the process of producing them, and will be available soon. couldn't give me a date though
This was posted "For the time being, I'm getting by ok on the stock Kaiser case along with a small neoprene case from OP/ Tech USA. The Velcro on the stock case will lose its grip over time and repeated use and that fact alone has me case hunting too.
The OP/ tech case is useful for when I just want to carry the phone someplace other than clipped to my belt (say a cargo pocket). There is a clip on it too if need be. The real plus for me is its utility & bang for the buck: the case provides shock & screen protection and even a bit of water resistance with minimal bulk. It stashes well and the price is right. There are color options too. I’ve used these cases for cameras, GPS and cell phones for some time now and like them a lot.

in this post: "OKAY, Whats the BEST CASE on the market??"
If that adds anything
PC
those could do but i don't find them very attractive.
i do wonder exactly how slim line these cases are though

i am quite tempted
although Im speaking for the prophet, it would seem that Noreve case would not add too much bulk....(sorry to keep plugging them, but i truly love their cases)

Not a bad looking case at all. Think I found a winner
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:

http://cgi.ebay.com/MONACO-BLACK-LE...ryZ15036QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
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.
I recently purchased the Fuze, and one of the first things I noticed was that the standard AT&T offered cases are not designed for people who do anything other than work in an office. In my not-so-humble opinion, mind.
I was wondering if anyone has seen a pouch or case that goes on a belt loop that will hold the phone snugly. I use a BT headset, so unless I'm using the phone for the computer side of things (which is about 40% of the time, having to find this or that bit of info), the phone is quite happy to stay in its pouch.
If all else fails, I guess I could go buy a neoprene laptop carrier and cut it into what I need/want. But I want to see if anyone has found something that might work instead.
These are alittle dear but VERY good cases ...

I use my FUZE in the manner you described. I wanted a snug pouch that allowed easy access.
The Universal Cell Phone Case from Piel Frama, sized for the FUZE, works great and looks good. It isn't fancy, which I like.
Hope this helps,
Brian
this phone is kind of classy looking. Are you sure you want to go sporting around a belt clip?
I mean, not as bad as an iPhone user wearing it on their belt....but pretty darn close.
I would recommend finding an alternative that is a little more well hidden. I've seen some pretty nice solutions for putting the phone in a pocket securely. That's nice because it's not a huge advertisement that says "I'm forty and still receive wedgies." If you can't find an alternative that suits your needs that's cool, but if you can find a more hidden phone accessory you'll seem much more sleek...like your phone.

What kind of pouches are there to put the phone in the pocket securely? I have bodyguardz on my phone so i am not too worried but i would like to know what kind of pouches you are talking about. Thanks.
I love the look of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and I take good care of my stuff so I don;t really need a think and bulky case. I saw the leather pouch on their webite, and thought it was perfect, since I just need something to protect it from bumps and scratches while carrying it.
Has anyone seen this, used it, had a hands-on with it? Does anyone own it?
Are there cheaper 3rd party ones?
Edit: This forum will not let me link to the pouch, but it is $29.99.
I had the book cover case on order but I ended up canceling it. I found a belkin case at best buy for $45 its thin doesnt add much bulk at all and it it folds into a stand. I just wanted something thin and easy to protect the screen. I'm not worried about dropping it.
I dont have the name or model number I left the box on my desk at work. I'll update later with the info. I couldnt find it on the belkin website or besbuy.
Funny thing the best buy employees didnt even know they had it when I went in last friday.
I bought the leather one that was right next to that one and I do not think it adds a lot of bulk to it but it def protects it and thats what is most important to me.

Yep, I'm with you, I didn't want anything too bulky with so many flaps, etc.
I'm glad I bought the pouch. It's perfect and it's a tight fit. Just to test how tight it is, I held it upside down with the opening side down and the Tab didn't slide out at all.
I got the pouch, it was free since I was one of the first 200 at the launch on the 8th. I use it daily but I will be swapping it most likely for the book case by samsung when I can get it a bit easier.......I have a belkin leather one that is still unopened lol idk it seems a bit bulky
I have the Belkin folio stand. I only bought it because of convenience. My cat nearly jumped on to my tablet while it was laying on the couch, so I wanted something to protect it (and the Samsung case isn't available yet).
The fit is very snug, and it folds up to various viewing angles. It has a nice elastic strap that can be pulled around to hold it shut.
It is a _little_ bulky. The selling point on this tablet is the weight and thickness. That being said, the case weighs almost as much as the tablet. So, don't get it if weight is important to you.
Overall it's pretty nice. Probably a bit overpriced. When people want to play with the tab though, I always take it out of the case. It's so much prettier without it .
The Samsung Book Cover case just shipped and should be here by week's end. I'll keep you posted on it. Personally, I don't like anything that I have to keep pulling it out and pushing it in. I feel it's a matter of time before a scratch occurs.
Please do, I have belkin one and just don't love it. The Samsung one is back ordered again, and would like your impressions on it.

Thanks for information on the cases, but I don't want a case anymore. I'd rather have a nice pouch or neoprene sleeve that will protect it from scuffs of traveling.
The thing is I don't want to spend $30 for a sleeve. I just want a nice sleeve that I can carry the Tab in, without breaking the bank. It doesn't have to be an "official" sleeve, as long as it fits, I don't care.

yea I agree with your statement especially since I use the keyboard and media dock. they wont fit with any case what so ever.......I even tried to take the docking station part off again like the directions say to make more room but was still unable to do so lol
I have the suede pouch from sfbags.co
Originally for the replaced Xoom, it is a tight fit but works great.
They have a great service.

Since the Tab is longer than the XOOM, does it pop out more? How durable is the sleeve?
Does anyone know of a seller that will post to the UK who sells the flip case that replaces the back of the phone instead of just covering it and making it even thicker. I'm looking for a case like this one. Unfortunately, that seller doesn't actually post out the case he has pictures of and sent out one like this.
It's one of my favourite things about the mi2s that you can get a case that you take the original back of and replace it with a case that is slim, but still protects the screen. I tend to buy a new one of these cases every year when they get worn out - but no-one seems to see them any more. This phone is chunky enough and I don't want to make it even bigger and heavier with a case to protect it. Also, I don't even know where the original non-flip back of the case is any more that I'd need for the cases that everyone else seems to sell!
Thanks very much
