DHD Accessories (case and car cradle) Recommendations? - Desire HD General

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a nice carrying case for my new DHD and also will be needing a car cradle, would prefer one that fits onto the vent grill rather than sucker type.
Anyone recommend anything?
Thanks.

This is a official holder,

Cart seem to find it for sale tho, looks good 1 as I don't like the universal 1s
Edit: found it but not available till 5th December

you might try this website: PDAir [dot] com
though they mostly have hard silicon cases, they are probably not yet available.
Also keep in mind that with a soft silicon case your GPS and other receptions will be weaker (alteast it is with my soft slicon case, which does not come from pdair, so don't know if that would be the same).
note: the car holder and the leather cases are compatible so you can use them without removing the case. which would be the case with most silicon cases (hard or soft)

Brodit make the best car phone cradles on the market. Check them out.

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?

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 protection that will not increase the size of the phone by much

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
http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-35043.html
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

Best case for Tilt

Hey guys/gals, just thought I'd share this with you. I bought this case for my Tilt and it's one of the best I've had. The phone fits perfect in this case. Snug but easy to get out. I paid $12 on ebay for it. Make sure you buy the one with the attached belt clip (like in my pic). There is another one on there that allows you to change the belt clip. I had that one too but (same perfect fit) but unless you have a thin belt, the clip will not catch the belt. I'll include one of my previous cases. This one is just a better looking case and feels real sturdy. Hope you like it.
Have you seen a case that exposes the miniUSB port? I've seen a lot of good cases, but none that will expose the miniUSB. My second option would be just to go with the Seidio Slim Ruberized case.

Unfortunatly no I haven't. There's a thread on here that has the Seido clip with mods on it. Looks sweet.
I recently had bought a case for my Wing (before getting the tilt) and it fits the tilt perfectly and allows access to the usb port - unfortunately it seems the ebay seller is no longer registered so I can't even get the details from the auction.
This is HTC branded and the listing was titled NEW HTC TOUCH SHADOW MOGUL VX6800 MDA OEM LEATHER CASE
Edit - Found the case, different seller and more expensive, but you can see it - http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Leather-Case-Pouch-for-HTC-Wing-P4350-Herald-XV6800_W0QQitemZ150268701210QQihZ005QQcategoryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I've got the Krusell Orbit leather case with multidapt and I really like it, I've tried several so far and this is the one that I'm keeping...
http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2776&category=51
I've also got the Krusell CarHoldicKit adapter as well to go with it, I like being able to unclip my phone from my belt with the clip still remaining on my belt, and attach to dashboard while driving, it makes using the GPS very easy and other related accessories as well...

It works that well? I was interested in both the orbit and carholickit (think i still have an old one), but was thinking the flap would be in the way when using it for GPS? This isn't the case?

Thanks for the GREAT review.
I have this HTC OEM case and it's real nice and pretty cheap. Fits perfectly with the Seidio case installed on the Tilt.
I recently purchased the Seidio rubberized case/holster combo. This is an excellent product. I was looking for protection for the Tilt's body, however, wanted to access the screen. I was using the metal case from Monaco, very well built, however, twice my Tilt fell out of the case when the unit was on my belt and the latch caught on the bumper of my car and the Tilt when bouncing on the pavement. Also, my signal was very weak with the metal case, never realized this was the problem as I always used a metal case. I switched to this combo unit and I now have an extra 1-2 bars of signal regularly. Also, I like the fact the holster will hold the unit with the skin in place, faces inward, giving max protection to the screen which is easily accessed. If you want a case to protect the body of the tilt, access the screen easily, and use with a belt clip (do not have to use the clip holster), I could not imagine a better choice. I am very happy with the quality and design of the unit.

i second that one. ive gone thru metal, silicone, plastic and even leather cases for my tilt. none of which seemed to work until I went with the seidio innocase holster combo that the gentleman above me stated. its really the best case and it comes with the holster facing inward so you can have maximum protection for your phone with easy access. point blank period.

With that case do you have to face it inside, and is it really worth $50.00? Geez their high.
I already have a soft rubber case and wondering if I could get buy just buying the holster for it.

not necessarily, you could face it either way and its worth it. believe me, its worth it. even though its a little pricey.
The rubberized case is good. I gave up on the holster because the clip kept getting caught and would disengage the phone causing it to fall.
I got a Palm Treo case and it fits perfectly. The Seidio case also prevents the Tilt's buttons from being accidentally pressed.
This is the best combination of all the cases I have tried.

This is the same case I have. Been very happy with it! For the person who asked... it does leave the USB port exposed.

I bought the Seidio case and holster combo kit.

Silicon case available

I was putting around the Internet and I came across a web site called Accessory Station that has some TP accessories folks may be interested in:
http://www.accstation.com/touch-pro.html
They have a silicon case for $3.59:
http://www.accstation.com/chtctoucsc01.html
They also have some other useful accessories, like short and super-long (10') USB cables. I've ordered some cables from them, but not the silicon case, so I can't say if it's any good or not.
John
dammit.
i just bought the silicon case from Brando
http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02830
and it costs me 10bucks! argh
I bought one of the silicon cases on ebay for like $6 shipped. It's identical to the one pictured there.
The wall charger does not fit with the case on (you can make it fit, but it's a pain). I also hate how the case basically comes off when I go to use the keyboard.
It's nice to protect my phone from my keys and the other things I keep with it, but otherwise I'm not a fan anymore..
NOTE: those cases are sized ONLY for the GSM and will be slightly too short for CDMA models.
..........remember, there ain't only a single model under the Raphael moniker.
dealextreme got it for $2.19 free shipping. However, there is no hole in the middle

any docking stations that fit the snap on case?

are there any docks out there that fit the fuze when it has the seidio innocase on?
I was wondering the exact same thing!!!
doesnt look like anybody knows.
I will be interested too. I had a hard time finding out about a pouch that would fit the phone w/ the Innocase. Probably because not too many are using it.
Best regards.
This dock from sedio says it should fit it with the case on.
I'm curious about the fit on this dock, i am mainly interested because it has a slot for an extra battery and was wodering if anyone has any experience with the seidio case and this dock. If anyone has the case and this dock also, I would like their opinion on it also.
I just ordered a couple of very inexpensive docks w/ battery charger from a website and I will post as soon as I get them.
Best regards.
thanks, keep us updated. i know the seidio one works with it but i want one that has a battery charger built in.
I know from personal experience that this one will NOT work with the Seido Innocase installed:
http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02926&dept_id=039&cat_id=0951
They have 2 other similar ones that I expect won't work either since they are based on the same design.

Could you not take out the adapter in the middle for it? Or is the area around where the phone touches the dock just one whole piece?
Colleagues,
Finally... The 2 cradles I ordered finally arrived. So... does the phone with the Seidio snap on case fit on it? Not right out of the box, but... if you are creative you can use pliers to kind of push the connector on the cradle a little bit forward and it works perfectly. This cradle has the slot for charging a battery as well as a USB cable. It only costs $19.99 with free shipping (no, I don't know the vendor).
Here is the link:

Best regards.
thanks man... im gonna get it.
Kursell orbit flex case fits with Dock
Well I just got my kursell orbit flex case and I also have a docking station for my touch pro and it fits on the up right doc while in the leather case I have posted a review of the kursell case on this forum look for it but here is a link to the case http://www.cases.com/kr75388.htm

The part of the cover where the phone sits is all one piece with the mini-usb connector sticking up in the middle. The opening is molded to the shape of a naked touch pro.
I could probably take a dremel tool to it but it would look pretty bad since the whole dock is shiny black.
