Belt clip/case for Ameo

[TigerTim36]

Hi All, Thank You for such an informative and helpful forum.

Does anyone know if there is a case available for the Ameo that incorporates a belt clip?

Many Thanks
Tim

[cornelius]

I think you won't put that device unto your belt. Coz it will heavy and to big

[TigerTim36]

I would rather have it on a belt clip than get it squashed in my pocket :)

[Pantaloonie]

Check out the PDAir case, I've seen it on ebay. It has a belt clip.

[dpbakker]

But I think it has no belt clip
You can see the case on: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000092&products_id=5551

[Pantaloonie]

Both these ebay auctions for the PDair case mention a removable belt clip.

Maybe am getting blind because I did not see mention of BELT CLIP:rolleyes:

[Pantaloonie]

Now I'm confused... Are you saying you STILL can't see any mention of a belt clip?

[TigerTim36]

Thanks Pantaloonie, the second link clearly states 360 belt clip.
Cheers Tim

Sorry! I was very tired yesterday :eek: I just ordered one :o

[Pantaloonie]

I just ordered one :o

Me too. The Ameo is costing me a fortune... 4gb Mini SD, leather case, spare battery, 4 in 1 USB cable.... and the docking cradle will be £70 when Expansys get them in stock.

Sigh.

[Pantaloonie]

Well the PDair case arrived, it smells lovely, but no belt clip :(

Can anyone confirm that a case with a belt clip exists for the Ameo/Advantage/U1000?

I wish I could. I've been looking, but they just don't seem to exist, yet. I do hope when one is made, it is made WELL, because I sure would hate for it to fall off of me, which I've had happen with previous phones from time to time. If I find something, Ill definetaly post it here.

[johnnykok]

I been searching for a belt pouch for my new toy like all you guys, going through all the IT mails, phone accessories shop, shopping mail, backpacks, shoulder bags, sling bags, waist pouch etc and NO luck.

Been trying, taking in & out my phone, and ..... XXXX I droped it on the floor, not too high, but got 2 very small dents by the both sides ....

Finally found this camera shop that carries Lowepro brand, and got lots of camera bag/pouch that able to fit, went throught lots, minus out the zipper kind(hard to access & might scratch the unit), minus out hoz design (too wide), minus out colorful one (not professional look), minus out those bulky one, shortlisted 2 model that fit Dopod U1000 well (top load vertical design), velcro flap, both black and professional enough to wear with pants (i think ?)

U1000 size, 9.5 x 2.2 x 13.4 cm
D-Pods 50, size (Interior): 8.5 x 5.5 x 14 cm, stretch fabric, snug fit, hard to take out as the width is a bit tight (stretched), I like this coz the material (got protection), http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Camera_Pou.../D-Pods_50.aspx
SlipLock™ Pouch 20, size (Interior): 9 x 4.5 x 14 cm, this fit nicely, easy to take out, but less protection, http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Accessorie...M_Pouch_20.aspx

Both of them got space to put your BT or wallet, but the SlipLock™ Pouch 20 is thiner, so finally bought the SlipLock™ Pouch 20, retails S$30, but can get cheaper.

[johnnykok]

I have found the cheapest holder to hold/carry the Dopod U1000. Went to a seminar recently, and as usual, they will give out badges & landyard for the registered guest.

Guess what, it fit the Dopod tightly and nicely, can even click on the screen with the plastic cover.

You can find such landyard with holder in most stationery shop

[TigerTim36]

SlipLock™ Pouch 20 is thiner, so finally bought the SlipLock™ Pouch 20, retails S$30, but can get cheaper.

I had a look at this one but I don't think it has a belt loop??
Can you confirm that it has?

Thanks
Tim

[johnnykok]

Yes, it have a belt loop with double velcro. I paid only USD$10

[eagle 1]

I use an original case for the T-Mobile 6315. It's old PDA that I used to have.

Similar cases for the 6315 fit the HTC Advantage

http://www.gomadic.com/t-mobile-ipaq-h6315-h-6315-case-leather-belt-loop-swivel-clip-holder-k.html

You might search for Ipaq 6315 cases

[TigerTim36]

Thank You Both for your help.... The Ipaq case is exactly what I'm looking for...can you please confirm that the Advantage fits correctly/neatly into it?

Thanks
Tim

eagle, can you give a detailed description of how well this fits, ease of removing device, overall usage etc. Thanks

[findus]

Well the PDair case arrived, it smells lovely, but no belt clip :(

That PD Air clip looks perfect (although no belt clip!) Looks like the case won't get scratched by the keyboard which is a big improvement on the original, plus it has a latch on it!

Yes, it is a nice case. No chance of scratching anything.
It does bulk it up though, but I can live with that to keep the unit pristine.

This is too small. Even the keyboard on its own doesn't fit.

The last two links look interesting. I'm going to wait for Piel Frama to come out with their case in another few days and see what they have to offer.

[Palmchen]

Hello,
for approx. a week I got my new Ameo. And the bad case for it ...
I've searched a bid and found a fine case, with 360° belt clip, almost perfect fit for the Ameo (2 cm to long), and not so expensive. 15 Euro.
The describtion is (in german but ask me if you want an english description) detailed .

The first one with the belt clip seems ok. How secure is it to carry? Can you please post the link to the site of purchase/sale? Thanks.

Abram,
the device is almost 2 cm to short (in the length) for the case. The width is really fit. That's why the Ameo is really safety in this case.

But I can't provide a link. I was going to "saturn" to see what going on: and coud see this universal case:
internal measure WxHxD : 14,5 x 9 x 2,5 cm
Car HiFi AGM Universal bag for Navigation units & PDAs size : 2
price : 14.99 Euro

Could you search over web or ask direct your provider?
I will see if I could see any additional info's in the description, and come back this evening...

I'm so sorry. But I haven't any more information.

Ok, I think I found the website. Only problem is that it's in almost every language except for English. I'm going to the Spanish or Italian one since I can read those langagues. Read more here...

Hope this helps a little.

Couldn't find it - I did find an old hardcase for an HP Jornada I owned a number of years ago which, unfortunately is no use.

[southernint3l]

Still there is no solution to our ever needing case with swivel belt hook.What is soo funny is that they make the x7500 out to be bigger than it really is

[RichardKAthena]

An update on the PDair case:

After a couple of weeks, my keyboard cover is bulging in the centre - I haven't done anything "wrong" with the case, it's been treated carefully and the keyboard is rarely removed - and this makes it even harder to type on.

Unimpressed, especially since the magnetic attachment of the standard case would have been perfectly good.

[Oleander]

Bloody hell! I remember those! I may even have one in the loft. Time to go check..

My words exactly!

Not the best fit, but it'll do.

[Rambler358]

Cool - thanks for those pics! :)

Are those pictures with the keyboard on or off?

[Oleander]

Are those pictures with the keyboard on or off?

On!

It really makes little difference if it's on or not - the problem with this particular case is that it's made for the the old compaqs with the "rounded bottom". It works but I'm still looking for something better.

I suspect this case should hold me over until some Advantage specific cases start showing up - which they will due this device's popularity. :)

Yes, this is the one I use with my Ameo

[purrfect]

why cant anyone just come up with a regular carrying case for it ?

where the phone goes in with the keyboard and it clips on your belt like the krusell cases or something that looks the same

if anyone knows of one please post it on this forum,

i managed to scratch the glass portion of my beloved X7500 and it hurts me everytime i look @ it, andi know if i dont get one soon more damage will be inevitable :(

[jsosow]

Just got my x7500 on monday. Had to make a clip that works with the standard case seeing as there are reall no good options. Made of 2 - pcs of 18 ga s.s. Does not hurt. Case and phone are really no heavier than my blue angel. Have pics. Take a look.

[jsosow]

4 More Pics. It is very comfortable and I used it all day long. I work in a sheet metal plant and walked around, bent down, worked on a press. Never even came close to coming off. But if you pull straight up to use it it comes right off. Very simple. Does not get in the way when you connect to keyboard.

It is nice having access to lasers.

[c0mput0r]

That looks sweet jsosow!
I think that is one of the best home brew solutions for the x7500 I have seen.

Exactly what did you make the part that fits over the case and how did you cut out the slots in it for the belt clip attachment and for the case to slip through?

If I could make a steel loop that the belt fits through instead of the "s" folds I think it would be perfect for me.


Also do you have a picture of just the part that fits on the case. Thanks.

Just discovers in the Shop.Brando: Case with Beltclip! (http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02005)

BW Leather Case for HTC Athena/ HTC Advantage X7500
Product Code: SLTCA020800
Brando Workshop Leather Case is made of fine genuine leather. The leather case offers high protection for your device. It features a slim, perfectly fit and stylish design. With the durable belt clip, this carrying case allows you to clip your device to your belt or bag with the secure lock.

The price would be considerably purser wholesome than the one of Piel Frama! Like it in the pictures looks, can't be attached the keyboard like in the Case kept directly to the PPC only ..?

[RichardKAthena]

Bloody Brando.

It's a PDair case. They're repeating the PDair blurb, which is itself modified from the blurb for other PDair cases.

THERE IS NO BELT CLIP.

Also that plastic wallet for the keyboard renders it unusable after a month of warping. I ended up cutting mine out so it only covers the edge and one row of keys.

And the keyboard is upside-down because it was photographed by a retard, clearly - they also forgot to remove the warning stickers ;)

Had the case for a couple of days now and can say it is very good. Good fit, strong belt clip and reasonably good leather.

[Paultnl]

OK I got it wrong, the belt clip gave out today after two days use. The case is good, just needs a robust clip system. Now looking for a good clip/button combo that will fit the thread used on this case. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Unfortunatly there are no Verizon stores in the UK, anyone know of another source?

I'm guessing if they have them, other phone stores or vendors may have them. In this case, it was a little baggie with a variety of 2 or 3 clips for $5.
