Thanks for letting us all know. :)

My only concerns are that the http://www.bluetrade.eu/index.php?page=product&id=8720 case found here will do exactly as the free case does, scratch the inside of the screen, and also ensure that all the letters wear off as there is no protection from the keyboard.

the great diffence is that
you can see the external screen when closed
and !!!
there is a belt clip !!!

The one from Case Logic seems promising but I don't think it will fit:

X7500 dimensions (mm): 133,5 x 98 x 16 (or x 20 with keyboard on)
Case interior dimensions: 138,2 x 82,6 x 25,4

Please report when you receive it and post pictures if you can.

Regards,

Let us know once you get the case with the belt clip. I want one like that.

This one will work, and has a velcro belt loop:

I like the looks of the bluetrade.eu one. Cant wait for a mini review. How exactly will the x7500 fit on the belt for daily use.... Will it make you limp? :P

Looks to be about $49 USD for it after all shipping and paypal tax. The shipping to the US is more than the case costs :P

Looks to be about the same design as the Piel Frama and about half the price for people in the US. We will see what the quality is when someone gets one.

Hi,

I like the bluetrade one BUT ... I don't think the display will work proparly because the keyboard will a little bit separated from the Athena so the magnet will not recognized the keyboard is there (as it happens with the case it comes with the Athena). This is due to the smalls grips to hold the Athena.

4 weeks ago, I found this camera bag that fits to my Athena.
The brand name is TUCANO (www.tucano.it).

When I'm wearing a suit I use to carry the Athena in my jacket pocket without any kind of case.

But the rest of the time I use to carry a small backpack. For that reason, I was looking for a case which it could be complitely closed.

As I said, the one I'm using is from Tucano and is a camerga bad. There are several sizes. My one is 'Medium'.

I hope this would help anyone.

I will add some pictures so I'm sure you will have a better idea.

Best regards,
Alberto

... don't fit or nearly
X7500 gets in with dificulty but it gets
X7500 dimensions (mm): 133,5 x 98 x 16 (or x 20 with keyboard on)
Case interior dimensions: 138,2 x 82,6 x 25,4
there 's 1,5 cm left
so it's get in but it is too stretch and it is hard to get in and get then out
I'm trying to stretch it with something biger but after 24 hours still the same
it depends on the using of each one but for me for a constant use every day it s not usefull at hall

It's under the HTC X7500 category on their website so I'm hoping it fits. Aesthetically, it does not really tick any of my boxes but I've actually ordered one to try out until I get the case I really like.

Ii think this is even better as it protects the screen edges from the keyboard!

It does look better but personally, I do need a belt-clip/attachment option for carrying it about.

you can also use the aircompact casing for a nintendo DS. it fits perfectly with side pockets and extra flap in the middle to protect your lcd and the keyboard from rubbing against each other

And protects the keyboard from any attempt to type on it.

It's not a BAD case; some aspects are well thought out, but it has NO belt clip option, and the keyboard is covered with a plastic sheet that warps and isn't quite flexible enough - even when new, before it had warped so much the ZXC row of keys was utterly unusable, pressing E or R would often send a half-finished reply to an SMS as it activated the soft key as well.

After a month of ownership the plastic was so bad, I traced the edges of the keyboard and cut a section out, leaving only the top row of keys covered and an edge around to hold the keyboard down.

Oh, didnt realise it had a crappy plastic cover over the keyboard! I assumed it had a magnet on the back like the original case... damn. :mad:

Just noticed this case.

http://www.pdaaccessories.net/productDetail.asp?accid=684&pda=iPAQ+hx+2110

I wonder how well it would fit. The only bad thing is the way the belt clip is. I would rather have a loop.

Anyway I just snagged this case to test.

http://www.cellularaccessory.com/92325.html

Its only $11 and change right now so its a cheap test and it it works than thats great.

That is what most ex-ipaq users have been resurrecting.

Unfortunately it is hard to get from our side of the world. I'm beginning to look at the Nintendo DS airform cases. Hopefully they are the same size as the athena. They also have a belt-clip/loop, which is a must for me. I just hate the NDS label on them all.:(

hello
i finanaly recived it from Blutrade yesterday
but great deception
it is not lethear !! it is some kind of plastique with awfull smell
the finition is very very bad !!
the part where the keyboard hangs is not slick and when it stand on desk you can imagien !
the plastic window to see information when closed is not well placed so time is not easy to see
when closed the keyboard never feet in front of the screen (just like the htc case but worst)
the clip that close the case is no usefull when you type oin the keyboard
the only positive point is that this case is thinner and ligther than teh htc case and makes X7500 even too
the clip belt is ok too seem to have enought resistance
the negative point with belt clip is that it makes case awfull and not very usefull when you lay it on desk or put it on your pocket

finaly the only pleasur it to be able to cary X7500 on belt and it all because it is not usefull at all
see my photos

if some one want this case i am going to sell it on Ebay for 5/7 euro

Finally, after 4 purchases(including recommended cases for NDS lite & Ipaq 6315) I finally got me a belt case. I tried to put the ameo in with its default case but it did not work. However, it can conveniently hold the ameo with the keyboard as screen cover. Slides in and out quite easily. I hook my pen-stylus on the outside loops. Quite lightweight and actually looks better than on the website. Proporta generally do a good job. Hmmmm.... (he sighs with contentment)..
Mon Ameo is finally safe! :)

Not to double-post, I just found a 10% discount offer (on any hardware) or 20% (on software) in the pack. Code is "PASSITON10" for anyone interested. They did suggest to pass it on if I'm not using it.

PS: I'm not in any way affiliated etc,etc,

Thanks for the tip Abram, I've snagged me one of these. Seems good, its much better than the various camera cases etc I've looked at. Dayglo orange is a bit bright for me but I can live with that.

You have to be a little careful making sure the flap cover reaches its velcro retainer but elsewise it's the business. Cheers.

Glad someone found it useful! I'll still be on the look-out for a better case along these lines, that fits my needs. If you do come accross one please post here, and give the link. Cheers!
