I got it today and very pleased with it. Very nice for everyday use mostly as a phone. I can still type short messages and browse, but for heavy typing I am taking it off and using Krusell horisontic case.

Did you notice how the buttons don't quite line up correctly? I had to 'modify' my case and enlarge some of the holes to make the buttons easier to press.

Hmmm, not really. I have no problem pushing them

This is BlueTrek G2. Amazing headset, I have to tell you. 9 hours talk time! And in real life it's very close to it - about 8 hours.

I decided to order another type of krusell case, because of two things with this plastic/leather case you bought.

1. Itīs hard to press the buttons and use the screen properly without taking it out of the case.

2. The plastic will get dirty quite easily.

3. The attention drawn to the device, as it is widely open is not wanted.
Risk of getting it stolen is multiplied by many.

So i bought this one instead:

I too bought this one & am very happy with it. The clip on flap that covers/protects the camera lens is genious!

Good job Krusell :)

I am using only last call feature of it, but programm is very reach with different functionalities. Since I've moved to 45 dollars unlimited voice calls plan I don't really care :)

i was wondering, why did you went out and brought that case?
i thought that case you just brought came free with the phone?
i brought my XDAII, the leather case came with it
check your box again man.

First batch of iMATES didn't came with the case. Besides, the Krusell one that he's got is much better quality. IMHO

hi, sorry if there are any confusing
that message is meant for skenliv
and that krusell case (flip with clip) does come with the phone.
i don't know about imate, but O2 ones does have it included

Does it have the Krusell sign on the front?.. If not, itīs the standard case that comes with every XDA II Phone. And it is REALLY bulky and missfitting. This one is alot smaller in size, alot better quality and the flip is not down (as with the suplied case) but on the Krusell its down.

Nice, good idea.

But itīs not very well protected, what about the screen?
The most important part of the XDA II.
They should have some protection for it to.

And you cant holster it on your belt, because there is no beltclip.

And besides, it has the same problem as the case at the top of this thread.
It gets attention, and will probably be stolen easily.
(especially where i live, to many rich people).

no, it does say krusell on it, it say O2 on it
but it's exactly the same case

Yes it has a plastic protection for the screen thin enough to use it with the stylet.

Jupiter

Just one last question. With the leather case, if you drop it it will take some of the impact.

Is the plastic thick enough to absorb a drop on the pavement!?!

Cyberb0b
10th June 2004, 10:23 AM
cant say it is.
But logically you can imagine that plasitc is harder than leather, and has propreties to absob shock better than a thin leather case.

i will not test it for u :)

You mean your not going to drop your xda from the 2nd floor for me!? We live in such a selfish, individualistic world!!!

Thanks for the advice. However, I think the price is a it high for a bit of plastic.

i do agree it s quite expensive for a bit of plastic and shipping from the US more :)

i have a news from properta, they are now manufacturing crystal case for XDA 2 too but i have no date for commercial release, they told me : "soon"

they will look like the ipaq one

http://secure.proporta.com/proporta/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=661&t_mode=des

a bit cheaper thant the one i bought :)

Jupiter

It looks quite good and the price is reasonable too.

Can anyone tell me if the Krussel Handit Multidapt and the XDA II will fit in the sync cradle at the same time - thats something I'd like it to do?

skenliv
10th June 2004, 02:35 PM
Yes, it fits perfecly while in the case.

coercri
10th June 2004, 04:41 PM
Thanks Skenliv, also one more thing, is it no so bulky than the original case, cause these really adds to the size of the XDAII?

skenliv
10th June 2004, 09:29 PM
This one adīs virtually nothing.

If you would remove anything, there would be
no more point of having a case in the firstplace :wink:

coercri
10th June 2004, 09:35 PM
Yeh thats true, Ive ordered one now. Thanks for your advice.

skenliv
10th June 2004, 10:41 PM
I hope you will be satisfied with the case..
please post your thoughts about it, when you have tested it!
