case suggestions

[phork]

Does anyone have any TyTN case suggestions? Something with a low profile so that it doesn't add to the pocket bulk, yet still allows the keyboard to slide out?

Isn't there something like this out there but that has a belt clip/holster option?

I want something where you can open the keyboard without removing anything, but that you could clip to your belt. Surely I'm not the first...

Great link Mike. Any recommendations? I'm looking for a case to fit into a bad/pocket rather than on my belt.

I started with the Shield Zone treatment... full body treatment. The top was fairly unprotected. There was a piece supplied that I believe was supposed to go there, but it didn't fit. Or at least I couldn't figure out how it fit. It's a decent solution for scratching and such, but not total protection. I can also see the edges of the applied material gathering lint, dust, etc. eventually becoming really grimey.

Also, the screen protector from Shield Zone sucks. It's too thick and nearly impossible to get a clear and clean application. It also has too much drag to comfortably use the stylus. Instead, I strongly suggest the Anti-glare from Boxwave instead. Used them on other PDAs and my Treo in the past. Much better quality, easily washable and reusable, very easy on the eyes and still easily usable with a stylus:

Earlier this week, this case showed up:

It definitely provides drop/bump/scratch protection. I may rip the flip screen off since I have the Boxwave on it. But overall, it doesn't add too much bulk, makes the phone easier to hold on to and even offers a degree of splash protection. I also don't care for clips, preferring to keep my phone in a front pocket.

This phone is huge! I feel like i'm smuggling a brick when i have it in the pocket. I can't believe there is not a cover out there being made that lets you clip it, but i still haven't found it.

I totally agree - I have not seen a simple belt clip yet so I'm waiting for seidio to make a spring clip swivel holster like i had for the 8125. http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=302

I've emailed Seidio and asked if/when availability for ther 8525 holster is coming and have not heard back yet. Maybe if others email them, they'll hurry the process. I'm sure they were waiting to see how popular the phone is before they commit to making it...

In the meantime, I'm using my old Treo 650 leather case, and it fits perfectly. It's just a bit bulky versus a lower profile clip and holster...

Will that one not fit with the Hermes? This is kind of what i am looking for, but not 100%.

This case is the best design i have seen as it is the only one that opens without any removal. You clip on in 2 pieces, 1 on the front and 1 for back. The keyboard will open without having to remove anything, since its 2 seperate pieces.... Now if they could just add a clip to the back of that it is perfect.

Not sure I love the holster idea b/c you still have to unclip it, and i may not want it on the belt all the time. But it may be the best bet out there, that is if its out there!

I received this today (12/11) from Seidio tech support:

Thank you for your interest in our products. We are expecting the new holster for Cingular 8525 available in a week later.

Thank You for contacting Seidio

[jasjamming]

also recommend the shieldzone, they have it for the HERM100 and HERM200 variants

not 100% complete cover, but enough to give you a piece of mind from minor scratches.

Still no Hermes holster on the seido site. I sent them an email two days ago and still have not heard back. My 8525 comes in today and really want to go the holster route..

Anyone have any additional feedback from them??


thanks in advance
