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 !

If anyone gets one of these, could they please review it? I really like how small the Tilt is and i'm curious to find out if using one of these cases makes it feel bulky or if it's still small enough to fit comfortably in jeans front pocket...
Thanks...

i think you can't open the keyboard with those case à 5$.

Agreed, I can't find any pictures of it actually on the phone above a very small resolution. So some nice digicam shots would work great. Anyone?

That's an outrageous price though. You can get these same cases on Ebay for $10/shipped in all colors. They're called the 2in1 case.

I just called them to confirm and they told me it does open properly with the case on. And paying 24.99 for a crystal case is rediculous.

I've seen those. What I'm more referring to is comparing it with and without the case. Same picture, two phones (or photoshopped together). Just to give a bit of scale to it

I just got mine the other day from eBay, and the front face doesn't fit all the way on or stay on. I'm going to have to return it and find another one.

I've finally tested this case for more than 10 minutes and I really hate the fact that the edges are not beveled in, making it extremely hard to use my fingers to press the softkeys on the screen, onscreen scrolling and some slight awkwardness when pressing the outside buttons.
Mine was also made of white plastic, so it has this ugly white lip around the edges.
After removing my BodyGuardz skin, the case fits snugly and is very hard to remove (I accidentally cracked the lower piece while removing)
Oh well, you get what you pay for. Time to read up on Seidio cases

http://www.wirelessaccessories.com/... 8925 - TyTN II - Kaiser&sfid=134039&c=164107
I've used these for my last 2 devices. I don't recommend the rubberized as they scrape up easy. While you get what you pay for ($5.95 + ship) so I buy several. I prefer the protection from scratches and ease of use . It does make getting to buttons a little harder, I agree.

I went on Ebay and got a clear one for around $4 shipped. looks decent, works, only thing about the clear ones is that dust tends to collect under them and phone looks dirtier. a quick clean and back to new. i dont recomend dropping the phone using the case, but in all honesty i dont recommend droping the phone all together.

Best Stand for the A500

I got this stand from eBay for under $10. Best stand yet, esp for the price (for those who dont own a case)
http://everydayreviews.net/2011/07/universal-tablet-stand-review-910/
The seller is still selling them I believe

Arkon IPM-TAB1 still beats all others I have seen...thanks to its variability.

+1 for the arkon stand. i have it, and its great, simple and cheap.

pics? how much?

http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Portabl...VOOY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309148166&sr=8-1

I also vouch for arkon.

Plus one. Great stand. I also like the spider podium. I'm going to get the pad sized one for use In the car.

I jumped down to Officeworks (AU) and found this;
officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Office-Supplies/Desk-Accessories/Mesh-Desk-Accessories/ES47548BK (Can't post full links; not enough posts!)
I realise it's not a fully fledged tablet holder, and it wasn't the manufacturers intention however it is so cheap, and works quite well despite it's low form factor and simplistic structure. It is enough to hold the tablet up while charging to give you a decent view of the screen.
I don't believe it will replace a proper case/stand, however for something so cheap it's worth it

I bought this stand for £1.00 in a pound shop! Its a great stand if you're not after anything fancy, works well and for a quid you can't go wrong.

Another Vote for the Arkon

I went on the cheap. I went to Micheal's (arts & craft store) and bought a decorative plate stand. It was $3.99, looks kind of like a small art easel, folds flat, fits in my 10" laptop sleeves pocket, and is perfectly sturdy.
http://www.ecplaza.net/product/134914_1035670/wooden_plate_holderdish.html

I bought a stand for only $2 it was at Dollarama (Canada) and it was meant for iPads. I would show some pics but this forum tells me I am noob.

I didn't want to leave my new Iconia unprotected so I bought the cheapest cover/stand I could find. It was an Acer branded cover/stand for $39.99 at Fry's Electronics in Arizona. My Iconia Ghost Armor is finally in and being put on the tablet today so I'm returning it. The GA would just peel if I tried to force it into the Acer cover. Looks like the $13 Arkon is cheap and durable which is better than the $40.

sorry guys, i did a major site upgrade and the links are all different. it is fixed now.
but yea, that akron stand looks really good and portable

The best stands in my book are the Compass Stand http://twelvesouth.com/products/compass/ or the Griffin Tablet Stand https://store.griffintechnology.com/tablet-1/motorola-xoom/tablet-stand. Neither are cheap, cheap - around $39.99 or $29.99 respectively - by shopping around you might find a better price. But what they both do is fold to a small portable size, the Compass Stand is the best in this department, and neither put stress on the docking port. I also used the Arkon Stand for a while, but over time, I felt that the central gear joint loosened up too much to be a secure support for my larger tablets.
Just my 2 cents.

[Q] Help finding the best Flip Case

I currently have the nilkin fresh case and while I do like it, the quality of it is absolutely dog ****e. It's literally falling apart with minimal use.
So I ask. What is the best case for our nexus that is similar to Samsung's 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.
