Just got added it seems, anyone tried similar cases on other PDAs ?
Payment seems to be a bit of a hassle with that wire transfer business, anyone know if they take paypal possibly ?

No hassle, you pay with credit card for overseas, take a better look :)

I just ordered one of those, will see in a couple of weeks!
It really looks cool, the ice one.

Ah that's good, looks like I'm going to order one then as well as the "clear" screen protectors, don't feel like hacking the spare 3.5" ones I have !

Yes, how well does it fit? Is it comparable to the iSkin for the iPod, in case you've seen it.

I think I might be getting one of these.

And as always, do you have photos of it? The brando photos show a case that seems to fit perfectly at the bottom, but not on top.

Check ebay for these... some guy in Hong Kong are selling these $10 plus $5 shipping. Search under 'O2 mini'.

ok as nobody else has done it yet I will post my experience...

Purchased from Brando, I received my product in 5 days!! all the way to the UK! wow!

The case is made to fit PERFECTLY! In the photos it looks as though hte top does not fit correctly, however it does! what you actually see in the photo is shock absorber corners at the top, basically little solid corners of silicon to protect the phone if dropped.

The item is of the very best quality, I am more than happy with mine, I love it.

Hope that helps.

Ditto to Maverick's reply. Took me 5 days to get it in UK. Paid by credit card. And it fits as he says.

I think its a bit pricy for a piece of rubber, but its a good piece of work though. It adds decent protection and almost no additional bulk. Feels a bit like a thick condom though! :D

Once I get my screen protectors in from Martin Fields, this thing will be decently protected all round. I dont think I will use the 'condom" al the tim, but its good to have for times when I want a bit of extra protection or when I put the phone in a bag, briefcase etc and dont want it to get scratched.

Definitely recommended.

Hi Guys,
I ordered at http://www.t-dimension.com/eshop/product_info.php?products_id=676

For 8$ or 6.13€ and around 2€ shipping, you can't get a better deal I guess.
I inform you when it arrives.

I guess the Brando case isn't so bad after all.

The T-dimension site lists several colored silicone cases for other devices. I wish they were available for the Magician as well, as I find it a little dull looking.

I might order from Brando, but I would very much enjoy a stylus/pen combo, which I presume will be available in the near future.

Speak of the devil... I found this over at the Compactjam forum:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=69929&item=5158160303&tc=photo#ebayphotohosting

Getting more confused as to which case to buy. Sigh.

Dont debate. At the end of the day, its silicone cases we are talking about. I cant imaging that there is a difference in quality or performace and they are probabaly all made in the same factory in Guandong or wherever. Its cheaper - get it and dont even think twice.

So I ended up buying from Hongkongstore over at eBay. It seems they're still setting up shop, as not all of their products are listed there. Got a pretty good deal, £30 for

* iMate silicone skin
* iMate screen protector
* P910 screen protector
* P910 stylus
* P910 silicone case
* A1000 screen protector.

We'll see when it arrives here.

are the p910 accesories compatible with the jam?

skagen

One user reported that the headset is compatible, but I asked one vendor on brighthand forums and he said that the headset was not compatible. So that is actually a confusing issue.

Hi,

I use my p900 headset with the Jam every day. The sound quality is much better than the included one.

My Hong Kong Shop package arrived today. All products were of the Expert Shield brand, and seem to be of very high quality.

The silicone skin for my Magician fits perfectly, is about a milimeter thick. It is the one with a single cut out for the camera and mirror, not two separate.

I'm very happy with the order. I can definitey recommend Hong Kong Shop. I ordered by email, and paid with Paypal. They sent it marked as "Gift", so I didn't have to pay customs.

Please give me an URL.

@ http://www.xda.meibu.com the silicone case has a plastic flip cover on top. I didn't see that on the brando case. This flip cover gives some extra protection for your screen.

This keeps me reminding on the good old standard iPAQ cases. Simple designs are often the best !!
