Thanks, that looks like just what I want. I wonder if it has the credit card slots like my XDA1 case has...can't really tell from those pictures.

At the moment, I can't decide which one to go for, here is my shortlist:

Yeah, they're pretty nice, but useless to me without a belt clip.

[LinuxGeek]

Both Proporta cases have a belt clip according to their salesman I spoke to on Friday.

[Deke Martin]

Really? In that case the Alu-Leather option is starting to look very interesting...

[LinuxGeek]

Heres a review of it with a pic of the belt clip:

The only annoyance I can see with this case is that the answer and hangup buttons are covered so you have to open case to answer a call. Not too much of an annoyance.

Unless of course you are using a bluetooth headset. Voice dialing works quite well on the EXEC.

Krussell assure me that they now have stock at their warehouse. Expansys on the other hand put delivery up from 5 days to 7 days last week and haven't changed it since :(

Concerning the Proporta Alu-Leather Case, I just received an e-mail from Proporta stating that the case does not have a belt clip.

Not sure wot's right.

The review shows a belt clip.....sigh....do I need to spend more money to get a belt clip?

Anyway, the proporta case is already on it's way here....as soon as I get it, I'll confirmed if it was shipped with a belt clip or not.

FYI, I purchased the case from proporta themselves.

it has a belt clip
i already have one
the annoying thing is that when installed (its detachable) it is dificult to use the keyboard because it has to pivot on the belt clip interface.
however its a marvellous case, and highly recommended

I had the Krussel on order for a month with expansys and had a series of ecuses from them and so cancelled and stuck with the Pdair case.....

[peelcadi]

I have likewise had one on order with Expansys for over a month and have finally cancelled it... still looking for an appropriate alternative.

http://www.imate-shop.comAhrrr, from those photos it looks like there is clear plastic over the keyboard, please tell me it isn't so?

How can it be so difficult? All I want it a good quality case, with a cover over the screen and NO PLASTIC COVERING THE KEYBOARD.

Wouldn't happen to be getting rid of your original O2 Executive case then? (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36188)

Hi,

I've just received mine from an UK ebay dealer I've used before, fast delivery as usual from them considering it's Christmas.

A very tight fit, clear cover over the keyboard and over the display when it's on the outside (nothing over the display when the device is open). Two straps over the front speakers to press studs on the back. The front flaps free when undone as it's not fixed to the display. I also came complete with the belt clip as usual.

Very well made like all Krussell Cases. It adds very little to the bulk, there is no extra storage for cards.

It's nowhere near as nice as the cases for my XDA2 or IPAQ 3715, but the Exec, with the rotating display must be a nightmare to make a case for.

All in all, a cheap, well made case, that I find far more practical than the supplied slide in case.

Regards

Wooky

So which case is best?

My MDA Pro had a little bit of an accident over Christmas, 4 days after receiving it I put it in my jacket pocket, got in my car, drove to destination, got out, checked phone and the screen had completely cracked. The flimsy shell covering the back of the screen is too exposed to external pressure. Having had to wait almost two weeks to get a replacement I am very interested in the strongest and most practicable case - as well as at a reasonable price.

I'm not bothered about belt clips, SD cards fit nicely in my wallet/pocket/car, I've had aluminium cases before and they tended to slip out of my hand, but I like the strength. Any recommendations?

[Deke Martin]

I ordered the Ulu-Leather case from Proporta. Strength of aluminium with the feel of leather.

Hopefully it'll be here by the weekend so I'll let you know...

Make sure you get the right one!

I just got my case from krussel. I was abit tight in the beginning but now it appears to have settled in. I must say this case is of exceptional build quality but it does not offer adequate protection to the device should it drop. I did not get the purse looking type as it was simply too bulky. But this one comes with a keyboard cover and NO SD Card storage slots.

regards

got mine this week, from good ebayer.....real nice, the belt clip is less ponsy than I though nice features..w00t

[MiSSigNNo]

You can use the PDA w/ keyboard directly from this Krusell case and also, put the screen the other way and work vertically without removing the case in any moment?

I got the Krusell case from UK ebay and I am not that keen. It is great I guess if you want to use the Universal in portrait mode, but even then the thick plastic over the screen makes it hard to be accurate with the stylus. The most annoying thing about it is the mounting for the clip on the back - this means you can't use the the device easily in laptop mode on a desk. It just won't lie flat like this for typing.

What is it good for though in my case is for mounting in the car with the belt clip. It clips nicely onto a button blanking plate in my VW Golf for a really secure mount.
