Hey guys,
I've been searching the net, it seems MicroSD Card cases/holders/wallets are starting to appear, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of them..
The Pelican 0910 case was the one I was looking at right now, but I'm just looking around at this point to see what might work best.
Feedback desired ;-)

I have 2 8gb cards. One stays in the kaiser and the other in a very tiny usb adapter that stays on the keychain (a mobilemate micro) . My advice? Just get bigger cards so you dont need as many
where to find a really cool microSD card case/holder
I saw this link on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFzEuG3oM8s
the web address is www.sdcardholder.com , the thing is way cool, holds ten cards as well as an adaptor and is razor thin. I called the toll free number and the guy told me the first run was bought out completely by a company that is going to give them as swag at CES, they have more in production and will be selling on Amazon and ebay after the first of the year. I literally was searching for a year for something like this. The company says they will be $7.95 with free shipping in the US. Beats the crazy pricing I have seen for really crummy designs and most sellers try to rape you on the shipping.
Agree

I want one - that's a good bit of plastic... but not available in the UK yet
Oversized metal one from ebay it is.
Try this Card wallet:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_11000130_11000734&products_id=21956
Since I never try that before, but I using the phone case from this store, the qualities are really good, and the outlook looks very practical, but if more design or colors provided, It will be more attractive.
I've been looking for a complete housing for my universal.
But all the housing that I found does not have this:

:\
Does anyone know where can I buy this part?
Thanks a lot!
no one?
Sometimes hinges are sold separately on Ebay, but they are not cheap, if I remember correctly, somewhere around $25. Just have to catch them there.

I'm looking for months and never found one :\
Universal for parts...
After seeing several posts by members looking for Universal housings, I remembered that I have an old Universal in my closet. I had issues with the built-in WiFi when I stopped using it, but the keyboard, screen and case are all in excellent condition.
I have long since changed service providers and lost interest in troubleshooting it. If you (or anyone else here) is interested, I'll part with it for $80 plus shipping.
I have the original box and probably all of the original accessories as well (but no guarantees on that).
Send a PM or e-mail ([email protected]) with any questions.
Hello,
Im thinking about buying Universal, but i have some questions about it.
1.Where to buy it, i would like to get it in good shape/now, not some old cheese.
2.Has it any defects or easy brokening parts.? Warranty after buying via. internet is a pain.
3. I read somewere that there are some fake models avabile?
Is it real talk or some WomensInSaunaToldMe story?
Your best bet would either be eBay or the Marketplace. I think the latter is a better choice because you'll probably find it much cheaper with details.
Just looked, at the ebay.
I could get for 350$ from there.
Now i need some info abot the fake thing.
And one question more:
Is this mobile still sustainable (this may be wrong word ) or is there a hope for support in XDA nexr 2-3 years?
But yeah, Wallaby is much older
Do not hessitate on buying an Universal!
Is one of the best devices ever!!
Thanks to the Chefs and Devs here you´ll have Universal for a long time!
Have a look here to see another buy options

Haven't heard of this "fake" business you speak of but i'm pretty sure eBay is safe. I'm also sure you can get one for much cheaper than that.

Cheaper than the Ebay?
Where?I think 350usd for that kinda High-End device is pretty cheap.
All im worried about is, that maybe it doesn't fit into my pants pockets, because im only 12 and my pocket's arent very big.
edit: Orb3000 could you please fix the link. I like'd to read it.
Enter here and do a search with the word "Universal"
You´ll see many options:

Hi jaank.
On Ebay in the UK, Universals are selling for £100-£130. that is 1840-2390 Krooni (you live in Estonia, right?) You could probably get a better deal on this site in Marketplace.
If you are worried about the size for your pocket. A Uni is 130mm X 78mm X 23mm. Maximum. make up a cardboard one and try it out. that was what I did before I bought my Athena.
A Uni is pretty tough but so is school.(at least mine was) you need to be careful. You already have a Wizard so you know that. Best of luck. let us know how you get on.
Oh, cool answer
But, has Universal some weak spots?
Like the screen turning system or so?Im thinking about some other mobile, at the weekend.
Im in Middle schoool , so im pretty peaceful and im pretty peaceful at all, but im sportly active and so having second phone is pretty good idea I think.
And the point for buying Uni IS school.
Im a boy, so i sit at the back and our school has wifi.
And as you all know (I hope) is school pretty booring.
Thank you for the help, and sorry for my English.I started learning English in third grade and Im going to Six't grade so I'm not really experienced about english.
Thank you, and i love PayPal.
EDIT: Where did you see NEW uni for 2000eek. I talked to my parrents and it's have to be new
EDIT2:About future Is there some roms wiht the latest Manila as in the Touch Pro/Hd
SorryForDouble
Looking for the Cheapest NEW uni.
My old mobile battery is diening so needed fast.
Uni's can be bought cheap at the German eBay. Current prices are at about 100 Euro, I saw auctions finishing at 90 Euro. This is madness, for such a great device.
You need to search for "MDA PRO", as this is the name given by the German phone operator.
I actually own two of them, so that is a good sign on how much I like this phone!
Drawbacks: whilst driving, my phone holder does not allow the Universal to be placed such that the keyboard is accessible. This means, I can't type while driving (one shouldn't do that anyway). Also, Internet Explorer will render quite small fonts.
When I am driving, I do prefer the form factor of my VDA GPS (like a Motorola Q9).
Other than that, this phone is simply great.
No known issues.
You should consider:
- new battery
- screen protector
- proper car holder
Cheers,
vma
i got mine about a month ago. i got it off ebay germany, i paid 88eur for the universal g3, plus a 3200mah battery, a tomtom mkii sirf3 gps receiver and a docking station.
that was about the best 90eur i ever spent, although i didn't get a stylus, a case or a handsfree, which i thought, was standard accessories, the gps alone is priced at 75eur in germany
VMA:
- new battery- IDK, I'm scared about weight.
- screen protector- Shure
- proper car holder- Dont have a car so not needed.
If you buying MDA Pro than you can still flash it?
EDIT: Is MDA pro software in germany?
Hi,
With new battery I meant the fact that most MDA PRO's sold nowadays at eBay are over two years old, so you should not expect to much from the shipped battery. You certainly will need to purchase a new one soon to get a full day of heavy usage out of your device.
I agree that the extra capacity batteries increase the size and weight of the Universal beyond reasonable lilmits (for me at least), so I would stick with the normal sized batteries.
Basically I wanted to alert you that you should not spend *ALL* your money on the Universal - save some for an extra battery...
The German MDA PRO will in most cases come with a German falvour of WM5 and with a SIM lock.
You can, however, unlock the SIM by following the procedure of the Unlocker (search forum) and you can certainly flash a different ROM. I personally like Tomal's modified WM6.1 ROM's a lot.
The only remaining issues you will have with the German version of the Universal:
- MDA / T-Mobile logo on the inside, T-Mobile logo on the outside
- German keyboard: essentially you will have the "Y" and "Z" keys swapped - and no, you can't physically exchange the keys, because they have different size
I can live perfectly well with both issues and they don't affect the usability or the value of the device at all.
Cheers,
vma
Now it's about Ebay safety.
How to chose seller?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-O2-XD...trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1205|293:1|294:50
What do you think about that?
Check on marketplace first!
I saw yesterday a great Uni selling from a trustable member
There is always a risk involved in any internet related purchase...
At eBay you should look for:
- sellers with more than a minimu of 5 feedbacks
- sellers with 100% rating - in case of 99.x% rating, check what was the cause of the negative feedback (sometime's it is not the sellers fault)
- check what other products the seller has been selling
- pictures of the real device, not just standard marketing images
- ask the seller a question and see how long it takes him to respond - avoid sellers who dont respond
- avoid sellers accepting Western Union or similar payment forms
- don't relay totally on PayPAL - it is not that secure
- check shipping costs
- check taxes - specially in case of imports from other economic areas
If nothing is strange so far, nothing fishy, then you can take the risk.
Regarding the Marketplace here at XDA-DEVELOPERS: I have never purchased anything, but would do so from respected members. Check how long they are registered and how many postings they have. No crook would be wasting time with hundreds of posts over years just to sell you a broken Universal...
However, in case things go wrong and if you bought something from someone on the other side of the world, there is nothing much you can do.
That is the price you pay, for getting the device with a discount of aproximatly 50%.
Cheers,
vma

So look's pretty good.
I was just asking your opinion .What do you think about him.
Gonna order soon.
I recently bought a micro sdhc 32GB card, and I am having endless issues with it.
1. My HD2 won't allow me install apps on my card. Just always asks me to install in a different area.
2. It has once deleted everything off my card, and also deleted over 10GB of music while leaving everything else intact.
3. My HD2 will sometimes see it and sometimes not.
I have tried to sync music onto it from my laptop, I have used the USB connection and I have put it straight on using my SD card reader.
Does anyone know how to resolve this? I bought the HD2 because it was expandable up to 32GB and I didn't want to carry a phone and a ipod, and I didn't fancy a ipod.
Help please?
What card did you get, where from, and how much did you pay for it?
There are dozens of people on here who got ripped off and got fake 32GB cards, and this is the kind of thing that can happen with them.
I paid £30 off eBay it was from a power seller, but my PC reads it as 32GB and it also can put the 10GHosts of music on and see it. I haven't tried to read off my pc though.
Geeeez, sorry but it's DEFINITELY a fake! Did you reall think you would get a 32GB card for 30 bucks? You guys are making it really easy for those frauds on eBay. I mean, if it had been 100 I would have understand, but 30???
Yes, fake with no doubt, £100 is about the cheapest you can have (a real) one for.
Alright thanks. I thought it was good offer but I still went ahead as he had a 99% score on ebay. Oh well that's money down the drain. amazon for me now.
He scores 99% because he removes the item before people can give negative feedback. Correspondence about refunds and sending new items take time, before you know the item will be retracted. And a lot of people give pos. fb without having really put 32 gigs on their card, as it seems to be working at first.
Pretty much the formula is this..
ebay + shipped from hong kong = fake.
Its best to not even purchase memory cards from ebay. Find a reliable retailer in your country or region. Youll still get a good deal purchasing online, and it will be guaranteed to be legit. (with a warranty!)
Thanks guys I will get on to ebay see if I can get some money back, I have found a 16GB for the same price on a proper retail website.
Thanks again.
a 30pound 32gb card?
Maybe in 4 years
Btw... I have had good experiences with buying from Hong Kong too, but just not SD cards, other things like phone skins, car holders, etc. are ok, they're cheap and and you can't lose . Also you have a better chance of buying cheap but good items from Hong Kong when you buy from a seller's web site instead of eBay.
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.
