Decent horozontal belt case for the wizard?

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....
http://www.krusell.se/productUni.php?productID=1764&category=2
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.

Kaiser cases

Since this is so new, it seems there are not many cases out there yet. The really neat ones are for the 8525, suppliers like: Krusell,seidio,beyza are not up to speed yet, or Am I wrong? Any one have any ideas on when there maybe releases?

I honestly love the one that came with the Kaiser. However, I heard that cases with magnetic flaps cause the Kaiser to automatically turn on since there is a magnetic connection to the slider keyboard. I'm not too familiar with this issue, but did read this somewhere.

I don't love the sideways case with velcro and non-springloaded belt hook, currently using a leather magnet flap case for a generic flip. Mine does not turn the phone On, depends on where the magnets are located as ones that are close to the keyboard's "open sensor" can turn the phone On. I'm rooting for Pocket Solutions to make one.
I'm watching the "Kaiser Accessories" area for the mose current info... as should you.

I put my Kaiser on my jeans' pocket with no cases (except screen protector).

You`re braver than me

Well, it should be fine inside the pocket, and the jeans is thick enough to protect the Kaiser and soft enough to not scratch the surface.
The only downside is dirt inside the pocket, but like I said, I always wipe it out clean (usually in the screen area). It will be the same in the case, screen get dirt.
My wife quite jealous the way I treat my Kaiser Because I will wipe clean the table, take a clean paper or tissue and put it like a carpet before I put my Kaiser ...

Krussel will release the ORBIT case for the TyTN II during October.

PDAir have just released a couple of Kaiser cases, and there are a few similar cases on eBay. Piel Frama have told me they'll have one in the next month or so.
4ustuff is a Hong-Kong based wholesaler that has a lot of Kaiser stuff, some of which may make its way into the retail channel.

on the Pocket Solutions website they're offering a fullbody "SkinGuardz" for the Tytn II...only problem is it's not in stock...i prefer a solution like this vs. a case (although one drop on the ground might force me to change my mind).

I used a slightly altered PDAir case for the Hermes (i cut all the clear plastic off over the keyboard and used Velcro to attach the phone to the case - worked really well. But with the Kaiser I`m leaning more toward the pouch type case, or perhaps a thin silicone case, but Ive not seen one of those yet.

Just Wireless Case
I bought a case at Staples yesterday from a company called Just Wireless. It is for a Blackberry/ Treo 750, but the TyTN II fit's in it perfectly. It is a holster type and it has a slim belt clip. You can probably find them at Walmart, Target, and others like that as the case retails for about $18.00. (picture taken with my TyTN II attached)
It may not be the best case, but it does the job for someone like me who is on traveling all the time and needs quick access.

Another option is this camera case -- I picked one up at my local Fry's a couple weeks back for $6.99. I see they've lowered the online price to below $5 -- that's going to be hard to beat.

i am a huge fan of gizmoskin.com if you read reviews on the cases you will see they use a very high grade leather. looks amazing and holds up like a champ. i have not seen their equal except for very very expensive designer cases. have been using their cases for he last 3 years
i asked them about a kaiser case and they said thy would look into it. if you want a nice case shoot them an email and say your interested.

I would love this one! (Cause I'm paranoid and had a Metal one for my Wizard...) but I can't seem to find anyone that carries them...

How is the case that comes with the Kaiser
I hope the one that comes with the Tilt is the same

As far as free cases go the one that comes with the Kaiser is excellent, very soft. I am waiting on a holster because I don't like taking the phone out the case while driving.

I use the holster I had for my old 8525. It fits my new TyTN ll perfectly.

In my opinion Krusell make quality cases which are practical. I bought one for my Vaio I. recently the clip broke, due to rushing through a doorway and having the phone yanked off the clip.
Krusell said send it back with proof of purchase and they will replace beacuse it comes with A LIFETIME gurantee.

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:

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.

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.

Best &/Or Thinnest Cases for TMOBILE USA HD2 ?

I have ordered a few cases before I was told that the TMobile USA HD2 is a slightly different size than others and now I have received those cases and they don't fit, now I am dissapointed and back out on the search for a case that actually looks nice and fits as well...Any advice? One case I do like is this :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150398009772&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
But please dont let this limit your advice/recommendations... I am looking for any kind of case other than a leather pouch type case and I also do not wish to have those leather cases which have a flap that covers the screen..... any advice ?

I have been using a T-mobile Wing case I found for $5 at the tmo store on clearance. Good fit but it snaps on the front and it makes me nervous every time i push on them and they push against the glass. Still looking for a better case.
Someone told me the type that are held closed using a magnet may cause the famed "newton ring" so i'm not sure what to get.

Don't get that one. I ordered the exact one weeks before I got TMOUS hd2, and it doesn't fit.
I mean, it fits, but not perfectly. Plus, the material was too rubbery.
I don't even know if that's the word, but it's very shiny and doesn't feel that great in my hands.
It gives killer grip on any surface, though.
But once again, that cover does not fit your device perfectly.
I threw it away. such a waste...
I'm using the default gel skin it came with.
It's very nice, surprisingly. it's not the normal silicone cover that attracts every sort of dust in your pocket.

yeah i ordered two cases off ebay and one came in guess what they don't fit lol..awaiting more cases

I ordered and received that case already, but I wanted one that fits my phone...it does not fit completely but it will do , it is very nice in my opinion, shiny and slick , I do not like the stock one too much as it causes my fingers to feel dry and sticks in my pockets so it doesn't slide out easily enough...
any advice...anything like a 'barely there' case for our phone ?...
please post any ideas/ advice/ experiences/ anything..

I don't have an HD2, yet, but...
I've used a horizontal belt holster with a magnetic clasp for my TP2 since I got it in September. It's in the holster everyday, and I have yet to see a Newton Ring develop on my screen.
When I get an HD2, I'll be calling my local T-Mo store every week to inquire about future cases (like the one erebusting purchased) for the HD2 -- I'm afraid a 3ft drop would cause the thin phone to break in half! I also want a thin, hard case so I can still put the phone in a horizontal belt holster (I hate putting my phones in my pants pockets).
