Any which way, itll be a month or so before cases specifically for the tab start trickling into my homeland Russia.
So, has anyone got a generic case yet? The tech market where i bought mine said there were compatible cases out there from ereaders and the like.
Im not sure i can cope with ordering a case from abroad...
I know Noreve is extremely popular in Russia.
They got some extremely nice case for Tab with built-in stand and other tricks.
Amazon both .com and .co.uk are full with cases for tab.
Even e-bay got some.
I have seen that one case at http://www.noreverussia.com/noreve/pda/samsung/samsung_2118.html
To be honest I really don't want my gadget case to hold my passport and business cards.I could use something
with no pockets until some better stuff comes out. That tradition case is like $120 and pretty grotesque...
EDIT: upon closer inspection it looks quite good. If anyone has the ipad version id be interested to know if its svelte enough?
What I actually had on my mind was this one/ but upon closer inspection it looks identical to me
The case from my old Archos 704 is a near perfect fit. The Tab is quite a bit thinner, but otherwise it's perfect.
Could you take a picture please? This would be much cheaper than the case noreve... preferably of the place where it seems loose.
I assume that last post, requesting a photo, was meant for me.
It was... thanks. Pity its a sleeve rather than a cutout case. Whats it called, do you know?
Really don't know if it has it's own name. It's the case from an Archos 704, that was part of the standard archos retail package. I have no idea if they're available alone, but if not, there are quite often people selling broken archos 704's or 705's on ebay, maybe get in touch with one of them.

I realise there have been a bunch of other posts on the topic of cases (see here and here) but I am after something a little bit different.
I have just had a forced upgrade from a hermes (ie I broke it and can't get a new one on my insurance, so had to "settle" for a Kaiser) which was working fine for me and I am now having o upgrade my accessories, but due to the way I use my phone I want particular style of case and either can't find it or it has been superceded by a "better" case.
Basically, it boils down to me wanting a one-handed case WITHOUT a belt clip (it's fat enough already, and I never use them).
And "one handed"? In other words I can take it out of my pocket with one hand, read the screen and put it back in my pocket without having to use my other hand. I am currently using the standard case and in order to read a text or see why it is buzzing I have to take it out of my pocket, open the case, take out the phone, put it back and put it back in my pocket, which seems bloody hard to do without using my other hand. An example of this is the PDair aluminium case for my old Hermes (which fits, but presses on the camera button, so is not suitable ).
So having exhausted my usual sourcs (MobileFun and Expansys), does anyone know of anything like this for sale in the UK?
Aside - I was interested in the Seidio Rubberised case, but I don't think it is available in the UK (I don't really want to be stung for £8/$15 Royal Mail charges when it is imported from the US), nor does it have a built in screen cover. If people know where to get one of those, that would be appreciated too.
Hi,
I am in a similar boat although I bought the Kaiser via T-Mobile out of informed choice and love the phone. The only case I have managed to find is the Seidio which seems to be perfect for what I need but yes, I too don't want to pay the high postage prices. I think the whole cost comes to around £35 in total, but if we could get it in the UK I'm sure it'd be under £20 retail. Maybe Expansys will stock it?
If Seidio are reading - are you in talks with expansys as a UK partner?
Cheers,
Pete.
UPDATE: Just heard from Expansys that they will be stocking the Seidio rubberised hard case in the very near future so just have to hang on a little longer for that perfect slim case.
I was continuing to look around and ordered a metal one of ebay. I was a little dubious, but it ended up costing me under £10 and fits my Kaiser and seems up to general wear and tear, which is what I wanted. And it really seems as good as the PDair one I had for my Hermes which cost me more.
It's ebay item number 160196604008 if you want one.

Seidio has a 'European' outlet in Spain. http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=21
Cheers,

expansys uk carry the seidio case in all its colours- and its brilliant
apparently due march 10th
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=163264
As the title suggests, im about to get a new kaiser in good condition and seeing how my last kaiser faired with my lifestyle id like to get a rubberised case for the phone.
Searching & reading up has told me the Seidio case is a good idea, but shipping to the Uk doubles the price to nearly $60, a tad silly imo.
Does anyone know where i could source this case/a similar one within the UK?
cheers guys
edit:
Ebay brought up this, but at nearly £29 its too much;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Seidio-Rubber...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
please guys, someone from the Uk must have a decent rubberised case. iv read all the horror stories about the cheap ones on ebay & amazons and would like to avoid those pitfalls.
I bought twice a cheap one from China through ebay and everything was OK, including fast shipping. If you're interested, let me know and I might find the seller.
if you could that'd be great mate thanks!

I had in mind that it was from China but it was from USA. The seller was http://myworld.ebay.ch/unclesamdeal/. According to the picture on this link http://cgi.ebay.ch/Fr-HTC-TILT-8925-RUBBER-BLACK-CASE-LCD-SCREEN-PROTECTOR_W0QQitemZ390021076574QQihZ026QQcategoryZ20336QQcmdZViewItem, it seems to be the same cases i bought six months ago, without the screen protector.

I have this case. Good case but one problem. The tabs that hold the case to the phone can easily snap off so the case is not held securely on. More of a problem with the top and not the bottom but a pain none the less.
Have been looking at this case(think it comes from uk).
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=163266&sbadd=163266
with P&P comes to about £27.
Hi All
I have a T-Mobile UK Branded touch pro and Im looking for a half decent protective case. Similar to the seido one here:
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSR2HTFE-BK
Im not looking for an amazing one, just a decent one that will stop the phone from getting scratched that I can buy from the UK so I dont have to pay international shipping fees and that will nicely fit the t-mobile version.
Been looking for ages but they seem to be hard to come by!
Cheers
I have this case: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000365_11000370_11000580&products_id=15119. I really like it. I carry the case in my pocket at work. When I want to put it on my belt I screw in the include knob and use the included belt clip. Only $28.00 from PDair with worldwide free shipping. I can find it a little cheaper at other sites that resale it, but not by the time I add shipping. It is a little slow getting it, because it ships from Hong Kong. I have bought several cases from them over the years. I have got them in as little as three days once and once it took a week. Normally 4 or 5 days to the midwest of the US.

Well how about this for a change? Got it for 7.99 with Free Shipping (Arrived in 6 business days) and it looks like the Seidio one except way friggin' cheaper and it looks good.
NEW BLACK SILICONE SKIN CASE FOR HTC TOUCH PRO FUZE ATT
I'm sure the UK eBay would have something similar too.
The bottom one is exactly the type of thing im looking for. however anyone know of one that doesnt have to open before I can slide the screen up?
Also another problem is the back section where the gap for the camera is, as I have the t-mobile branded version of the phone i have a rectangle backing, like the image below.

I like the case, but does the flap get in the way when trying to make a call?

No sir. It flips all the way around to the back of the phone. I got a case just like it for my 8525. I really like the design.

Looks like I may have found my case then!! Now to go for book style or the other... hmmm....
How does the phone stay in the Pdair case? Is there a plastic film over the slideout keyboard? I couldn't tell for sure from the pictures.

It does have the film over keyboard which isn't as comfy ad plain Fuze on itself, but out of all other cases i have seen, this one is more decent then the rest...
Hello,
I've heard some shops and tmobile sell HD2 without default leather case, but when I'll buy HD2 I wanna have one. Checked expansys and clove.co.uk, no leather cases included. Can you please link a UK delivery shop with a <500 quid price and the default leather case included?
Regards
I really wouldnt worry about the leather case - it is of dubious quality and is fairly pointless to be fair.
Its not worth paying more just for the case. Its not a particularly brilliant one. You can get good ones of ebay and the like.
EDIT You beat me to it.

Actually, the Expansys one does have the case included. All HD2 retail packages have the case. The only exception I believe is that some carriers (i.e. T-Mobile etc) are distributing ones without the case.
I got mine from Handtec and the leather case was included.

I have to disagree. Mine is of excellent quality and I never take my phone out without it.
But, in fairness, you can get them for around a tenner anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much about it not being supplied with the phone.
I got mine from Clove and it came with a leather case. I'm not sure why there's so little love for the pouch in this thread. I think it's quite nice and it does everything it needs to do quite well.
I agree, the case isn't bad at all.
You definitely can't knock it at less than £6!!!
http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/mobilephone/htc-hd2-po-s510-pouch-unpacked.html
i really dont know why u dont like this case....
i found it brilliant and this slide in n out pouch type case its the only type of case that i like for my phones... i really dont like cases that make the phone bulky and the like....
I got my phone from T-Mobile UK and didn't received the case.
I kicked up a fuss about it as the documentation clearly states that one should be provided.
So far, I've not heard a thing back from them.
WHether the case / pouch is good or not - I would want one, just for peice of mind for resale value (god forbid!)
Why do you want to use the leather case? It is very tight and it took me a lot of time and effort to squeeze the Leo in or pull it out. After two tries, the case now sits permanantly in my drawer.
The only situation I want to use the case is to place the Leo on top of it, so that the camera lens is not scratching my desktop.
After a while, the case expand and it's easier to put/remove the HD2. It's like a new pair of shoes, which have to be used a little to be a comfortable fit.
If you don't want to have to force the HD2 in or out the first days, you can use a folded over piece of paper of similar dimension/thickness than the HD2 to straighten out gradually the case.
I'm trying to find a case online for my A500 in Canada but struggling.
I want a folio style with the 'clips' holding the tablet and preferably a magnetic cover. I think the ACase is the closest but every time I find one on Amazon it says it wont ship to Canada !?
Does anyone know of a reputable online store (preferably inexpensive) that I could find one.
I prefer not to use Ebay etc.
Any help would be great.
I'm in the same boat as you. For a while I was using the Acer case but it was pretty sucky so I returned it. In the meantime until I find something good here in Canada as well I have my tab, bluetooth keyboard and stand all in a netbooks sleeve. It does the job for now. If I ever find something I'll let you know!
I bought the Case Crown case when it was $1.00 and paid $10.00 all in including shipping. I would watch these guys to see if they have other cases as well.

It took about 3 weeks to arrive but well worth the wait. The only thing is the one on the link is not a clip style. All of the ports are accessible through it though.
Good luck!
I got the case crown bold for !one cent plus shipping at Xmas,had to wait three weeks for deliver. Check out Amazon.ca. saw a case with Bluetooth keyboard to sixty.
