I believed lots of people are looking for a belt clip case for your U1000/Ameo, and not much can be found in the market.

After buying Lowepro SlipLock™ Pouch 20, still find that it is not very professional to carry around with business pants, so decided to get a tailor to do a custom case.

This is the 1st trial, and more design will be coming for him (a new business for him), got 3 different fabric, leather alike (PVC as shown), computer slipcase 1 and computer slipcase 2.

As for the belt clip, it has a pass through loop and magnet loop (so no need to remove your belt).

As for the flap cover, there are 2 different kind (magnet & Velcro).

The final product should have a complete flip to cover rather than open top.

Now, he is giving me for free, as I think he found a new business, going to sell the case for S$35, which I think it is okay, as the workmanship is good and best of all, none in the market for now.

If he can start taking orders now he's got a winner! Has he got a website? Does he want one? Hosted free? Taking Paypal Order? I'll sort it all out for him ;-)

I am still waiting for his 2nd trial (complete top flip and other material).

This is only available in Singaproe, as he is just a local Chinese old tailor, so no website, no Paypal, only got Singapore local number and only speak Chinese and Cantonese

Ah well, not to worry - I'm sure there will be similar offerings over here soon enough.

Just visited him again, still do not have the 2nd design, as he is real busy with his real business (PDA case is a new business).

He just shown me a new fabric, real sheep leather, very thin & soft. I do not think it can hold as belt clip case, but can make it into a slipcase, just a protective case over the Ameo in case of scratches

That's still a good idea. I for one wouldn't be attaching it to my belt - the case would be purely for protection whilst on my travels.

He just called up, managed to rush out the 2nd prototype, using notebook slipcase material, complete top flip and using velcro.

This 2nd prototype is so much better, using better material (softer, thicker, elastic, better protection) and slightly bigger, so easier to take in/out when compare to the former (too tight fitting)

P/S : dont have my DC with me, so it is taken by my Ameo

Excellent, it would be a good idea to place some kind of thin hard material under the leather on the front in order to protect the screen whilst in transit (stitched between two layers of material I mean).

If possible, I recommend a "cut-out" with plastic covering for the status window of the Athena when the phone is closed. Only Piel Frama's is reported to have this once it's in production.

Dear Johnny Kok ,

I am pleased with this first pvc designed look , however for S$35 price is so so , but the metal magnetic button at the belt loop is a bit thick .

The second fabric case looked less attractive , price should be cheaper i think , but the belt loop area should be better , no protuding metal button .

I am from Malaysia , is there a way to buy from you either one of these ? Thanks and regards , pls reply me .
