OKAY, Whats the BEST CASE on the market??

[mrpotts]

Hi,

So I have had the Kaiser for over a month already. I need a case!! What is the top quality case out right now? Is it www.proporta.com, or another manufacturer?

Cheers,
Phil

[mrpotts]

or this one, http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2774?

I am siding with the Proporta though. What else?

Phil

[hofo_mofo]

I really hope that the Noreve case thats supposed to be coming out for the Kaiser isnt one that doesnt allow you to use the keyboard while it is in the case...and i wish it would be coming out soon, they keep on pushing it..

Vaja cases are amazing, but they r $65 :mad:

[apbtlvr]

For the time being, I'm getting by ok on the stock Kaiser case along with a small neoprene case from OP/ Tech USA. The Velcro on the stock case will lose its grip over time and repeated use and that fact alone has me case hunting too.
The OP/ tech case is useful for when I just want to carry the phone someplace other than clipped to my belt (say a cargo pocket). There is a clip on it too if need be. The real plus for me is its utility & bang for the buck: the case provides shock & screen protection and even a bit of water resistance with minimal bulk. It stashes well and the price is right. There are color options too. I’ve used these cases for cameras, GPS and cell phones for some time now and like them a lot.

Mind you, I’m still looking for a different leather case that is appropriate in business environment. This one looks kind of interesting at the moment.

I've got a Krusell Horizontic case http://www.krusell.se/productUni.php?productID=2419&category=49&x=9&y=8 , since I prefer that format.

I am a big fan of the Krusell cases. I have one for my 3125, 8125, 8525, and my son's SLVR. But the one they have specific for the Tilt/TyTN II I don't really care for. And I've decided I like the looks of the Tilt so much I don't want to cover it up with that style of case. *better to show it off when pulling it out* :D I am swaying to a horizonal case like the one you linked to. Could elaborate on the "bulkiness" of that case. Does it compare to the one that came with the 8125?

[dan13l]

I should have my Proporta case in the next few days. Will post a review when I've got it.

How is the clip on that case? It looks pretty nice for the money but I will use the clip all the time and need it to hold very well to my belts.

I'm sure it comes with this one (http://www.krusell.se/category.php?category=29). Works great holding on to a belt. Another thing I like about the Krusell is their Multidapt consept. See here (http://www.krusell.se/subCategories.php?grupp=6) Provides a lot of versitility on how and were one can attach there phone.

[leon100]

The Krusell Horizontic case I am using is slightly bulkier than the one supplied with the Tytn II. It however seems sturdier in offering protection to the device. The case can by attached either via the supplied clip or via the two belt loops at the back. I also like the fact that it closes by means of a magnetic button, and not via a velcro strip.

Krusell also offer a lifetime guarantee on the products. I am mentioning this not that I have any connection with them, but because I once sent in a case for a replacement and this was done with no questions asked.

[newbie2]

I bought one of these cases (http://cgi.ebay.com/Premium-Leather-Case-for-ATT-Tilt-8925-AT-T-Special_W0QQitemZ150170510032QQihZ005QQcategoryZ15 036QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)on Ebay. It arrived Friday and I found it to be a perfect fit. All the cutouts match up and it's very well made.

From which sites did you order your cases? I'm asking because not many sites stock Krusell and I would like to have some options fur any further purchases.

Hi,

I am new and have the TyTN II for two weeks now. Beautifulll!
My previous model P3300 is lighter though, but hasn't features I really wanted to have (HSDPA f.i.)

On topic now:

I've ordered a case from pielframa (http://www.pielframa.com) for the P3300 beginning this year and the quality/fit was awesome. I've emailed them last week and they informed me the TyTN II case is in the making (<--:confused: I'm dutch, so not sure if this is correct) by there design department and will be on the market soon.

Reading the posts here I think the noreve.com case mentioned by "hofo_mofo" looks like it is good quality with perfect fit too. Just wanted to add pielframa on this thread as their case for my P3300 was just perfect!

As soon the TyTN II case from pielframa comes out it's mine, I will be really carefull till then in the meantime :o

I like Pielframa cases, having had one for a previous pda. They are of a good quality and fit. However, what type of Pielframa case are you after? Is it the one where to talk on the phone you have a flap of leather dangling about? I don't particularly like that design for a phone.

[mrpotts]

What a list of cases here,...and growing! I am busy scouring the streets of Hong Kong looking for what is available here and for what price. The Kaiser has been out about 2 weeks here and you are really starting to see the advertisements all over the place, the MTR subways, billboards, cellphone store displays, etc. Accessories are being released and made as we speak.

That's the ebayer I purchased mine from. I've gotton all the rest from SFPlanet, but they didn't have this style.

You did order the right size didn't you? The one recommended for the Tilt is small/wide.

Without a doubt, the Golden Computer Center (GCC) in Sham Shui Po is the best place I have found for computers/electronics in HK. I am in Mong Kok a few times a week but GCC is more variety and slightly better prices. I am a pretty hard shopper to find the best deal (Jew New Yorker, no jokes :o ), but they have tightened up alot here on the prices with all the legitimate western goods here now. You may spend hours negotiating with dozens of merchants on a products only to save $5 US in the end. I've gotten to the point of looking around at 5 to 6 shops and then just buying what I am looking for. My time has a value too :D. By the time you get here Stephen, I will have been up to Shenzhen 1 or 2 times and from what I am being told, the prices are quite a bit cheaper up there across the border. We shall see, I picked up my visa yesterday and I'm looking to go up on the 29th-30th for a look. How you long in town for. Perhaps we can meet up for a beer :D

The one I have for the P3300 indeed is one with a flap of leather dangling. For the Kaiser I prefer/hope it will be more convenient while on the phone, although I don't think it will stop me from purchasing looking at fit and quality.

I recently got the Designio leather case from Boxwave:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/dlsleeve/htc-kaiser-designio-leather-sleeve_2642.htm

And is nice, very small not bulky and covers the phone just right.

I'm not a fan of the clip though, still looking for the definitive case.

[h0mersimps0n]

OK, all these cases don't do it for me. I need something that easily clips off my belt to answer the phone quickly, protects the screen and doesn't annoy me with huge flaps while I talk on the phone.

I think this case would almost do it but the price is way to high if I'm doing the conversion correctly for US dollars?
https://www.noreve.com/product_info.php?products_id=2069

I'm an intern now but I'll be a Emergency Medicine Resident next year so being able to whip my device off my belt to look something up or use the phone needs to be effortless and non-annoying.

I can't seem to find one that does all of that. Suggestions?

Any aluminum cases yet?

Don't use the conversion factor. There should be a US sub-site that will display a lower US price, like $45.

[jgermuga]

I haven't decided yet, but I am leaning towards a body guardz skin and this...

http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=871

What I like about it is that you can flip the phone around so it faces outward, making it easier to use while still in the case, but obvously, you can not use the keyboard with this

[Wakeboard]

As mentioned before, Pielframa will be mine.

Found the images on their website:

Images TyTN II case (http://www.pielframa.net/htc_tytn_II.asp)

Looks like the one of Novere.com. As I Like the option of Croc skin from Pielframa, it will be Pielframa for me. I will post my experiences when it has arrived.

[3waygeek]

I got an e-mail from Piel Frama overnight about the new Tytn II case -- I'm a bit disappointed as they're going the plastic keyboard overlay route. I'm using the PDAir flip case now (also a plastic overlay) -- I'll probably end up going with the Krusell once I find a good price.

For accessories like phone cases I would buy from Shenzhen, but I don't trust the quality of electronic products over there. I would rather pay a little more and buy from HK. I know everything is "made in China" but the stuff they export is a little better. I may have to delay my trip to March next year due to family issues. How much are they asking for the Tilt battery and desktop charger? That is something I definitely need.

[cman6453]

When the display is disengaged (tilt mode) in the Noreve case, does that mean that it just loosely sits there or is it secured some other way? Concerned mostly with the design not if it will actually fall out or not. Will those tabs mar the bezel of the display?

[kahibbi]

I just ordered the Krusell from SFPlanet for $24.99. That's better than a lot of the cases on ebay from Hong Kong.

http://www.sfplanet.com/category/pda.htc.htc_tytn_ii_p4550_/

I'm not real sure on the whole flap thing, so I also bought the Noreve, too ... yes, it has a flap but it flips the other way. My wife and I both have Tilts so I'll let her have the one she likes. I'll report back when then arrive. The Noreve doesn't have the plastic keyboard cover and I'm hoping it's still secure when open. The Boxwave looks nice and will likely keep scratches from the phone but it looks a little flimsy and I doubt the case will stay on the phone in texting mode. If anyone picks that one up, please report back.

[MrSlacker]

I just got my Krusell Horizon Small-Wide case 10min ago. Tilt fits it very nicely. Holes on the side almost fit, but I see no point in them anyway. Clip seems solid and fits my belt just fine. I'll see how it is when walking around and running later on.

[Squeaker]

I should have my Proporta case in the next few days. Will post a review when I've got it.

Any feedback on this case? It's got my vote so far, but I'm waiting to hear from someone who's actually used it before I commit!

[etijburg]

or this one, http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2774?

I am siding with the Proporta though. What else?

Phil

I have this case and love it. I did cut off the leather strap thatt folds over the phone. It was driving me nuts. Since then i love it.

[Allude2Prelude97@gmail.co]

Could someone with the Krusell Orbit case post some different pics. I am a bit confused as to how it works. http://i.expansys.com/i/b/b157639.jpg Its the third pic thats thowing me off. The part the phone is standing up on doesnt look like its in either of the other two pics. :confused:

Edit: nevermind, i saw another post with pics.

[silkshadow]

How's the PDair case? Its one that I can get for cheap. From the pics it looks like every other leather case I see on the net so I am wondering why its so cheap when others are 4x the price.

[3waygeek]

I've had the PDAir flip case for the last couple of weeks. It fits pretty tightly around the device, yet the device is easy to remove from the case when you need to -- not that you'll need to very often, since it has cutouts to access everything on the device (except for the GPS antenna and battery).

The only real problem with the case is that it doesn't have any memory card storage slots.

[silkshadow]

Appreciate that, 3waygeek! Sounds good, I was worried it was made of plastic or something weird like that. I will get it this week :).

[3waygeek]

Well, there is a bit of plastic -- the keyboard cover. The rest appears to be leather -- not as high quality as you'd find in a Piel Frama, but close enough.

If you plan on getting the PDAir case, there's an eBay vendor, Siemshop (http://stores.ebay.com/Siemshop), who is selling them for $18.99. That's where I bought mine -- figure a week for delivery from HK.

[NFRCER]

Anyone knows where i can buy the case that is included with HTC Kaiser/tytn 2 without buying the kaiser, since i have the ATT tilt.

Here it is... http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=148520&asource=151727
The same case as the one that comes included with the HTC branded Kaiser.

[drokkon]

I'm trying to decide between the cheap "Carry Mobile" cases on eBay (here (http://cgi.ebay.com/Leather-Case-for-ATT-Tilt-8925-AT-T-Kaiser-110-Black_W0QQitemZ150174518429QQihZ005QQcategoryZ1503 6QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)) and the Noreve case (here (http://www.noreveusa.com/product/ATT_Tilt_-_HTC_P4550_-_HTC_Tytn_2_Tradition_leather_case.html)). It looks like they both have space for MicroSD cards, and they have the horizontal flaps vs. the vertical ones, which I like.

1) However, when they say that their clips swivel 360 degrees, does that mean I can lock it and carry it horizontally? I really don't want the phone to hang vertically.

2) The eBay ones have a magnetic closure - I've heard that this may affect the Tilt adversely - is that true?

3) I guess the only other question is the plastic over the keyboard or not. I guess without the plastic seems a little nicer, but...?

So does anyone have any input on which is the better case? I'm also vaguely looking at the model here (http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=3721&t_mode=des), but mostly because they have a neat GPS mounting solution.

Any help would amazing so I can put this order in!!!

I still haven't bought a case but I definitely need one. I dropped the Kaiser about 18 inches the other day :eek: It held up like a champ without even a scuff mark. Lucky :o Anyway, I am looking for a case where the phone will stay in the case when it is opened and tilted up. I think I would prefer not having plastic over the keyboard as I feel this 'dulls' the keyboard response. Also, I'd probably prefer leather for padding.

Great links in this forum! :D

Cheers,
Phil

[silkshadow]

Thanks again 3waygeek! Actually the local distributor where I am is selling it for ~US$12 (currency conversion), when I looked at the prices of the other cases they were all closer or over US$30, which is why I was thinking something might be fishy :). But it sounds like its just a very good price.

I've been told I ask too many questions in a post, which is why I'm ignored. I guess I can take a hint. :) Well here's just one then: has anyone found a case that allows you to clip it to your belt horizontally? They all say "360 degree swivel clip," but fail to mention if you can lock it so that it hangs vertically or horizontally. I just don't want it to dangle vertically is all.

If it's a horizontal flap case, most likely it's got a fixed, horizontal clip. The vertical ones that I prefer, usually swivel freely.

[3waygeek]

The Piel Frama's button (the thing that the clip engages) is mounted in such a way that it'll hang horizontally.

Does anyone know if there's any truth to the rumor that magnetic clasps on cases adversely affect the phone itself? Like electronically?

[PhilipL]

Hi

Does anyone know if there's any truth to the rumor that magnetic clasps on cases adversely affect the phone itself? Like electronically?

No the magnet will not affect the phone which already contains magnets from the speakers and microphone. There is nothing in the Kaiser that would be affected by a magnet, except perhaps the sensor for the keyboard. There are some reports the magnet triggers the sensor for the keyboard so the Kaiser thinks you have opened it and will turn on in landscape mode. This is because the sensor works when a magnet moves under it as the keyboard is opened (so another magnet in the phone). This would not be permanent. Provided you get a case designed for the Kaiser it should be designed in such a way the magnet can't trigger the sensor accidentally in normal use.

Phil

Those WOULD be pretty nice. I'm wishing you had posted yesterday, before I ordered my case from eBay. ;) New to WM devices, so I didn't even know cases like those existed!

Hi,

I am new and have the TyTN II for two weeks now. Beautifulll!
My previous model P3300 is lighter though, but hasn't features I really wanted to have (HSDPA f.i.)

On topic now:

I've ordered a case from pielframa (http://www.pielframa.com) for the P3300 beginning this year and the quality/fit was awesome. I've emailed them last week and they informed me the TyTN II case is in the making (<--:confused: I'm dutch, so not sure if this is correct) by there design department and will be on the market soon.

Reading the posts here I think the noreve.com case mentioned by "hofo_mofo" looks like it is good quality with perfect fit too. Just wanted to add pielframa on this thread as their case for my P3300 was just perfect!

As soon the TyTN II case from pielframa comes out it's mine, I will be really carefull till then in the meantime :o

Pielframa is good idd. I had also a case for the qtec9090 and this one was indestructible .

here is the link: http://www.pielframa.com/cases_htc_tytn_II.htm

[kyphur]

I just ordered the Noreve Case. True cheap snaps can come loose but I doubt they cheaped out on the snap when everything else looks to be high quality.

The CarryMobile case didn't have good images to see how well it is (or isn't constructed).

I'm trying to decide between the cheap "Carry Mobile" cases on eBay (here (http://cgi.ebay.com/Leather-Case-for-ATT-Tilt-8925-AT-T-Kaiser-110-Black_W0QQitemZ150174518429QQihZ005QQcategoryZ1503 6QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)) and the Noreve case (here (http://www.noreveusa.com/product/ATT_Tilt_-_HTC_P4550_-_HTC_Tytn_2_Tradition_leather_case.html)). It looks like they both have space for MicroSD cards, and they have the horizontal flaps vs. the vertical ones, which I like.

1) However, when they say that their clips swivel 360 degrees, does that mean I can lock it and carry it horizontally? I really don't want the phone to hang vertically.

2) The eBay ones have a magnetic closure - I've heard that this may affect the Tilt adversely - is that true?

3) I guess the only other question is the plastic over the keyboard or not. I guess without the plastic seems a little nicer, but...?

So does anyone have any input on which is the better case? I'm also vaguely looking at the model here (http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=3721&t_mode=des), but mostly because they have a neat GPS mounting solution.

Any help would amazing so I can put this order in!!!

Well, I bought the CarryMobile case, but if it's not up to par, I'll be getting the Noreve or the two recently posted on boxwave.com. Either way I'll just sell the CarryMobile back on eBay - but ANYthing is better than the NOthing I currently have. ;) I'm clumsy.

I'm waiting for these kinds of cases for the Kaiser that can open the keyboard without opening the case:

http://www.boxwave.com/products/rubberizedslimcase/htc-hermes-rubberized-slim-case_1266.htm

Thanks for posting this -- that's exactly the kind of case I want. The Leather Snap Case, Rubberized Slim Case and Active Case (http://www.boxwave.com/products/activecase/index.htm) all have Hermes versions, so I imagine a Kaiser version should be possible. I clicked on the link to send a request for a new model. The more requests there are the more likely it is that they'll make one.

Cheers,
Elizabeth

[NuShrike]

I haven't decided yet, but I am leaning towards a body guardz skin and this...

http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=871

What I like about it is that you can flip the phone around so it faces outward, making it easier to use while still in the case, but obvously, you can not use the keyboard with thisYa, this is the Bodyguardz skin: http://www.bodyguardz.com/BodyGuardz_for_AT_T_Tilt_8925_HTC_TyTN_II_p/nl-ba89-0907.htm

I'm still waiting for the slim hybrid crystal/rubber hardcase they've made for the iPhone for the Kaiser:

I do love the look of all the cases posted, but I honestly prefer the simple single magnetic clasp flap drop in with a belt clip that was provided with my 8125, its a cheapy but provides easy access to the device and I would hate having that huge flap like the others listed have hanging out and then type through a plastic cover IMO

I put my vote in for this case, protection and keyboard slides out. One question for anyone who has this with the 8525, is there a belt clip for this case? Doesn'tshow in the pictures, just a hole in that spot.

I have one similar to that, I used it on my 8525, but it opens from the front instead of the top. I like it, quick and easy one handed operation, flap for safety and a rotating belt clip.

The same case as the one that comes included with the HTC branded Kaiser.

Hi All,

IMHO, a case is not a case if to use the phone you must remove it from the case, expose it to the oil/dirt on your hands & the atmosphere, and otherwise leave it unprotected while in use, which is it's most vulnerable time. That's why the stock Kaiser case and others of that style are unacceptable to me. Again, that's just IMHO.

Cheers,
Phil

IMHO, this would be the best option I have seen so far providing:
1. the slide AND tilt is unobstructed by the case, and
2. the keyboard is uncovered by plastic allowing cleaning with a soft cloth.

What do you think?

[SteinyD]

IMHO, a phone is a phone and intended to be used as a phone. Providing reasonable protection for the screen is a good thing. Reasonable protection when it is not in use and in the careful protection of your hand is a good thing. However, when it is at my face or in my hands for active use, I hate the feeling of having extra 'flaps' hanging around, weighting down the device, lying against my face on a hot summer day - Eek .. nothing I hate worse.

So everyone has one and my opinion is the more naked the phone the better. I agree that the original case shipped with the TyTN is just the right thing. I'm using mine with the Tilt / Kaiser. I just wish there were one that fit the phone a bit more snuggly since the Kaiser is a bit narrower than the Hermes.

Hi All,

Would it be to much to suggest that the Kaiser is NOT just a phone. I more closely relate this device to my laptop and now consider it a partner of it. Much more, to me, than a phone. For the $850 I spent on the thing (stop laughing please:D ) I am not comfortable with the phone 'naked' when I am out of the house. But that's just me, no disrespect to your opinion SteinyD ;)

That's why my dream case is this one from Boxwave:

http://www.boxwave.com/products/armorcase/armor-case-htc-hermes_1266.htm

The phone can be used as a phone while it's still in the case, and the pda can be used as a pda by simply flipping the case open. Plus, it's made of aluminum, which I like, and doesn't have any magnets pressing against the screen.

I currently have a "leather" sleeve that's made for a Treo 650 that I picked up in Chinatown for five bucks. It fits great, but I don't like having to remove the phone from its case every time I get a call. At some point, I'm either going to:

1) miss a call while I'm fumbling around removing the phone
2) drop the phone in my haste to avoid #1
3) accidentally hit the "talk" button and answer a call I would have preferred to ignore

That's just me, though.

I just ordered the Noreve Case. True cheap snaps can come loose but I doubt they cheaped out on the snap when everything else looks to be high quality.

The CarryMobile case didn't have good images to see how well it is (or isn't constructed).

I ordered mine about a week and a half ago but got a response that it was an on-demand case and wouldn't be shipped for 12-15 days...so much for black being in stock.

If, by chance, you get your Noreve first, let us know if it's worth the investment. I'm hoping it lives up to the cost.

Well, I was stopped by their customer service, or more accurately their lack thereof.

Read below to see how my transaction ended-up:

I am suprised at how much of my e-mail Mr Burst didn't seem to understand (like that I am only a Mod here not the owner as he seemed to think or that I was not asking for any free shipping but merely suggested that it would have been prudent for the sales person to have tried to make the transaction right by upgrading shipping which is a common customer service practice).
So in all fairness, read my message and his reply then judge for your self.

I just thought I'd let your company know why you lost my business and how easy it would have been to have retained my business.

Yesterday Morning at about 10:20 CST I placed an order for the AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser Case) in black. I paid immediately using PayPal.

Approximately 3 hours later your company sent an e-mail to my PayPal e-mail address stating that there was an error in your system and the details of my order were lost. I rarely check my PayPal e-mail address so this message went unnoticed. Note that my primary e-mail address was indicated both in my order and in the online account I had to create with your company.

So now 25 hours later I go online to check the status of my order and discover that even though I have paid you have no record of the order. Naturally I call your company and am given the above explaination and asked what I was trying to order.

Now it bothers me that your company sat on my order & money for a day when you had ready access to my phone number (as it is listed in my online accout with you) and my primary e-mail address. Had someone picked-up the phone and called me this would have been taken care of yesterday and most likely my fine case would be in a box heading towards me.

After a short exchange, during which I asked that my payment simply be refunded because the mis-handling of this give me reason to be concerned about how your company would handle any situation that might arise such as if there is a material defect in the product, I was asked if there was anything else that could be done to make me happy.

I refrained from expressing my amazment that this question was withheld until AFTER I decided to not be a customer. Ironically if I was offered a free upgrade to faster shipping right at the beginning of the call I would in fact be a customer of NoreveUSA.

Now I mention all of this to you because you see I'm a moderator on a website (http://xda-developers.com) for enthusists of PPC Phones and your company's cases are often mentioned but there is always a concern for the fact that they are quite expensive (even when compared to Krussel). It was from this website that learned of your unique design for my AT&T Tilt and after looking at the cheaper alternatives I decided to go with your company. I had anticipated providing my fellow enthusists with a review of this case and was hoping that I would be able to end it with something along the lines of "While it is true there are other cases for half what this one cost I can say that the high quality is a mark of a company that cares about its customers.

Unfortunately now all I have is this little story of disappointment to share with my fellow AT&T Tilt/HTC Kaiser Users.


Dear Mr. XXXXXX,

I apologize that the situation was not made clearer to you. When we received your PayPal order, you were immediately emailed a request for more information. Unfortunately, the only information that we receive is on the PayPal receipt which is: your PayPal address and email. Since no order was actually completed on our system, as there is a glitch with our PayPal software, we do not have access to any of the information entered into your online account. We are working diligently with PayPal to have this issue resolved.

In regards to the free shipping request, we would have been more than happy to honor that request had it been communicated. The only request that my employee heard was for the order to be cancelled, which it was. My team, myself included are not perfect and as the cliché goes, hind-sight is 20/20.

It is my hope that when you relay this story to your readers that you make it clear that we complied 100% with the requests that you communicated. We communicated as best as we could to our knowledge and cancelled your order immediately upon request. I completely stand by the actions and words of my team members and am fully satisfied by how they attempted to help you. Being in the retail/service industry long enough I understand that we cannot make all of our customers happy, but we strive to do our best and that is all I can ask.

I wish you the best of luck with your website and have a wonderful upcoming holiday season. If you request any more information, you can find my contact information below.

Seems like a very cordial miscommuniction on both sides, they claim the Paypal glitch prevented them getting your "better" contact info. In the end, no harm, and you don't get a case.

I waiting on PocketSolutions to produce one of their "Signature" cases for the TyTN II. I had their 1st version for the 8525 and it was nice but the swivel was located on-center which allowed the phone to swivel upside down and it actually fell out, twice!! I wrote to them and they promptly sent me a re-designed case for free. I love it still. Their Signature Series is a vertical, Magnetic Flap style. The swivel button is nickel steel. This case is exactly what I want, clip to a belt, pop off and drop into car dash mount (theclip.com), open the flap and plug in the D/C adapter for Nav and Handsfree. This is the best all around model for me and it's due out in a few weeks hopefully.

i'm looking for a simple horizontal pouch case with fixed belt clip that allows unobscured access to headphone jack while in the case.

does such a case exists?

My opinion, this one is great. I wish I would have seen it first before I bought a silicone case for my 8525.
This is it:

I dig the textured look. Been searching for one for my new Tilt but no luck yet. Soon I bet there will be tons of silicone available. It will come in handy when walking w/ GPS in pedestrian mode.

AT&T is (in)famous for stripping stuff like that out of the package as they repackage phones in their own boxes. No printed manuals, no cases... BUT they will sell you a 'bundle' that includes an after market case, a cheap BT headset and an after market car charger - for $70.

[Sideburnt]

I just updated the other thread about aluminium cases, but I'll jump in here too since there was confusion about the pictures on the websites not being correct, anyhoo.

Proporta have now released thier Vario III aluminium cases, I've used one for my old Prophet and my prophet after heavy use is totally new looking, while my case looks like a bomb shell.

When you look at the website you'll notice that all products for the Vario III dont show the correct images, in fact they show a different phone. I rang up Proporta and they explained that these are generic imges they use for products without new images to add. I expect they'll update the site soon, they confirmed that the case had definatley been released, and the model was correct. Mine got dispatched this morning and I'll update this thread when it arrives.

Just my 2 cents on this one>>.

http://www.sfplanet.com/product/95146/Krusell_95146_Leather_Case_Horizon_SWide__Black__B lack_with_Spring_clip.html

I am disappointed in this case. It is well made but it is so stiff it is almost unusable. The lid is hard to open all the way to get my phone in it while on my belt. The mag clip I also don't like. You have to hunt the right spot to get it to catch properly. I was hoping for a more soft bendable holster. :(

I bought this case (http://cgi.ebay.com/For-Cingular-8125-8100-Cell-Phone-Leather-Case-Pouch_W0QQitemZ200166753702QQihZ010QQcategoryZ1503 6QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)last year for the 8125.

It is pretty good quality and has a pocket for SD cards. I didn't use it because of the bulkiness. But now I am using it for lack of a better option. Dang it... time to spend more money.

[hangyong]

Ok. So far the top three to me are:

-The noreve case - available now (http://www.noreveusa.com/product/ATT_Tilt_-_HTC_P4550_-_HTC_Tytn_2_Tradition_leather_case.html)
-boxwave slim case (i like the rubberized better than the leather one) - not avail yet (http://www.boxwave.com/products/rubberizedslimcase/cingular-8525-rubberized-slim-case_2110.htm)
-siedo super slim hybrid - not avail yet (and not sure if it will be) (http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=837)

Can anyone comment on how "pocketable" these are? I'm not a big fan of the clip.

Also, does anyone have better pictures of the noreve case? From the site pictures, you can't even see the clip and whether it's removable or not!

[edit] found a video on the noreve site explaining the belt clip. Looks like the clip is removable. Link here (http://www.noreve.com/static_contents.html?static_contents_id=10)

I had one of those aluminum cases for my old cingular 8125! it was a total waste of money. because the aluminum is so thin, it looses it's tight fit after a few drops.

waste of money ?? :eek:

I would say you got your money's worth & more !! lol

any case that saved your device from a drop , on more then one occasion ... it is money well spent !! :p

which is more ?? the $700+ device or the $30 case ??

ie:
~~~ I ride a motorcycle ... my helmet saved my life more then once ... I don't think I should go around complaining that the helmet is all lose and cracked now ~~ LMAO !! :D ...just once & I threw it away ... not suppose to use it after only once drop ;)

[jgermuga]

If anyone has tried the noreva case, can you better explain

"Important : You must tilt the screen to insert the case ! Afterwards, all you have to do is insert the device horizontally from the top. "

I don't want to have to tilt the screen everytime I remove the phone from the case. Although it looks like you can get to all the phone functions while it is in the case, I think I would still want to take it out fairly often. It would be a pain if you had to tilt it everytime, not to mention the additional wear and tear on the hinge mechanism.

Although it looks like you can get to all the phone functions while it is in the case, I think I would still want to take it out fairly often. It would be a pain if you had to tilt it everytime, not to mention the additional wear and tear on the hinge mechanism.

this is related to the plastic that covers the keyboard ..etc

1st time insert need the top out & tilt ;)

Well, I know it probably sounds like nit-picking but I'm in an email dialog with NoReveUSA about the case I ordered. I questioning them on the contradictions between the product description and the email updates I've received. Specifically, the site's product description
Black cases are in stock (in some cases, if demand for certain products is very high, some models may be out of stock). and
If you order a product which is out of stock, it will be delivered to you in less than 15 working days. contradict the email I got saying
The case that you have selected is being hand crafted on-demand. It will be shipped to you within 12-15 business days. unless they have a way to deliver it before it is shipped. And yes, I'm aware of the disclaimer at the end of the first quote. Like I said, I'm probably nit-picking because I think it should say "Black cases are normally in stock". I've just gotten way to spoiled to highly dynamic sites that have wording reflecting the true current status of an item. Besides, after kypher's little mishap, I want to make sure they're on top of their game before I give them a thumbs up.

I do have to say, though, that they respond pretty fast to inquiry emails. I'll post a summary when I get all my answers.

Is this the ultimate Kaiser case (when it comes out!)?

IMHO, this would be the best option I have seen so far providing:
1. the slide AND tilt is unobstructed by the case, and
2. the keyboard is uncovered by plastic allowing cleaning with a soft cloth.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Phil

Here in Dallas we have wireless shops that have this case for the 8525 for 10.99 all day long and in any color you want.

Not yet available for the tilt. I've be on the prowl and haven't seen it yet.

I would have posted sooner, but life got hectic on me. Anyway, here's what NoReve has to say about their website wording an shipping:
Dear Michael,

Thank you for your feedback. This site was developed at our headquarters in France and sometimes the language does not translate too clearly. We are working on revising the phrasing and wording across our website.

In response to your question, we will be shipping within 15 business days. You should receive it within 3 business days after.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Of course, according to a previous email, he mentioned the cases should ship next week ("...first week of November...") so hopefully I'll have something tangible to say about the case by next Friday.

Just got my Piel Frama a few days back...

some comments:

1. The plastic sheet covering the keyboard, the tip (that goes under the screen of the Kaiser) is obstructed. Therefore, to close the phone 100%, the tip will be folded/crumpled.

http://www.filmgrain.com/forumpics/Pielframa1.jpg

2. the holder for the stylus is in a bad position.if Stylus is there, you will not be able to close the case properly as it is obstructed (although you can still close the case).

http://www.filmgrain.com/forumpics/Pielframa3.jpg

3. The corners where the plastic sheet it sewed onto the leather is open.

http://www.filmgrain.com/forumpics/Pielframa2.jpg



Other than the 3 comments above, its a darn good casing....

[Droid8000]

Can anyone with a "horizontal" case tell me if the front cover would fold back all the way so that it's behind the kaiser?

I ask because I use my kaiser in a car holder for GPS (the type where you squeeze the holder to grip the kaiser at left and right).

I'd prefer a horizontal case, but a vertical one may fold better.

Anyone tried either with a similar car holder?

Thanks

It's not the BEST case, in terms of quality I'm sure (I doubt if it is leather even, and certainly not beautiful like the Piel Frama), but I chose it because of the zippered wallet included. I want to try carrying my ID and credit card, insurance card, etc., with the phone. I rarely forget my phone, but I too frequently forget my wallet. I realize this is a bit of a "man purse" but it may be just the thing for me, we shall see.

[charleslee]

if only this comes without the belt clip attached. else it'll look like a good alternative for me!!

cept, not sure if its pocket-able with the attached purse.

a nice design would be something like this, but the user have the option to detach the wallet/purse from the phone holder compartment, and attach it back after use. (plus the belt clip should be detachable too..)

[hollowground]

Ive got a simple magnetic flap holster from Incipio for the time being. It will be replaced the moment Boxwave releases a leather snap case or an active case (same as the leather snap case only without the leather look exterior and with a crystal clear plastic instead) or our units. Well actually if it still fits the holster somhow with the casing on it I will still use it for normal use along with the boxware case.

http://www.noreve.com/brand/HTC/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_P4550_-_HTC_Kaiser_-_HTC_Tytn_2.html

After reading this forum I ordereed the Novere leather case. At first I was impressed. It is made very nicely and fits the Kaiser well. Obviously these folks know how to work with leather. Opening the keyboard works great. The clip seemed very good as well and it looked like it is impossible to loose the Kaiser with this Novere case. The case stays horizontally in the clip which is what I wanted.

I've been wearing it for 4 days now and last night entering a restaurant, bang, the Kaiser drops to the floor. The little screw that fixes the metall button to the case got loose and the case dropped to the floor with the metall button still remaining inside the clip on the belt.

I've inserted the screw again using a little super glue and hope it stays on now.

Anybody had a similar experience?

This case, in my opinion is the best you can get.

this one fits well. http://www.gizmoskin.com/index.php?category=3&subcategory=56&product=67

i have it, i love it. i have had their cases for my last 3 phones. only case i ever had that actually gets nicer as it breaks in.

[JC#79]

Just to add my 2 cents worth, I have both the PDair leather & aluminium case & both are spot on depending on how you want to carry the device.

I prefer to have my device in my trouser pocket so the leather case is bulky due to the magnetic clip but with the aluminium case there is no such issue so it's either or depending on how you prefer to carry your device.

As for the pictures of the Novere leather case it appears to be exactly like the PDair just with different branding, the quality appears to be the same. Unlike some of the pictures shown for the other leather cases the PDair plastic keybord cover only goes part way so does not bunch up when the flip closes shut.
The only thing I would have like to have seen on the aluminium case would have been a non slip coating for the underside of the case so when u rest it on dash board or keyboard it does not slide off so easily.

[snooginsguy]

You could try these on the back of the case:

The universal shapes work well for me, they also carry device-specific shapes. They hold really well to dashboards and so on. And the camo makes it look tough.

[susuwatari]

mjm383,

I own the same case, no problem of whatsoever

JC#79

I am interested in getting the aluminium case from them as well, but does the case scratch the phone easily or do they have rubberish protective layer on the inside of the case to hold the phone?

I got a case from PDAir for my old axim x30. They do have a bit of padding on the inside to prevent scratching.

[pho]

so which one fits the Kaiser better? is it the iphone's or the TREO's?

The treo case fits the kaiser

Funny enough, i had a blackjack case from them that my wife used for her iphone, that fit like it was made for it.

Sorry about the delay in answering.

[RemE]

I need a case that clips to my belt and easily snaps off for car use. I have found the PDair case to work really well. I was concerned about it's quality from the previous posts but it's a really well designed and decent case. Things that I did;

1 - I didn't use their swivel belt clip, I had a better one from a Nokia. I used a car vent clip holder kit from theClip.com which came with a better and lower profile swivel button. I affixed that button to the PDair case with a 4mm flat head screw from my local hardware store. I used a drop of super glue to lock the theads and a small drill to put a divit in the button for the belt clip lock. This isn't all required but gave me a lower profile button and the security of a steel fastener.

2 - I attached the vent clip mount to my car's A/C vent in a few seconds.

3 - I use a simple car charger plugged in while driving and use a BT Jawbone headset. The phone is on the dash and easy to see and operate.

This setup is quick and easy, hop in the car, snap off the phone and hang it in the dash without fooling with the case. The case allows full access to the tilt keyboard and all buttons. Edit 12/27/2007 So far after 6 weeks, the case shows no wear at all.

[wildorchid]

oh, i thot the Novere were not in stock yet? say, without the belt clip, is it as slim as what their websites photo shows? is it easily pocketable?

wonder how the red ones look in real life.. any mates got it yet?

Yes it is slim, about 1mm. The bottom and side parts that hold the kaiser are hard case, the top that protects the screen is soft.

Novere replied to my complain about the screw getting loose:

Thank you for your message. We are sorry to hear that you have a problem
with your case. Please check this page to find the video and explanation of
how to use the belt clip. Our suggestioin: To avoid any problems like
unsrewing or fagility of the belt clip, if you plan on using it extensively,
and would like to benefit from it permanently, it would be best to add some
drops of strong glue into the hole and on the tip of the screw before
screwing in the belt clip. This will give you an excellent fixation and will
allow you to better enjoy your case!

I also get this one, and I like it, BUT ;

- the belt clip is not firm enough, sometimes when I sit down it ejects itself !

- the clip of the case sometimes open up itself when I try to hang the phone. (quite dangerous)

- no space to get access to external GPS antenna.

Otherwise, the quality is good.

[synthetik909]

I think this case would be the most perceft case for the TYTN II. I would perfer it to nit have the texture on it but other than that it looks great! Ive heard some bad things about the plastic keyboard cover on the pielframa one. Issues like cracking and tearing being the most troublesome and it makes it a pain to get in and out of the case which i dont see being much of an issue since thats the point of a case like that right? :)

[ChefChaudart]

I have no problem at all with this plastic cover. Even though I was very suspicious about the principle.

Hmm, I thought the Novere cases doesnt have that plastic over the keyboard? from the website pictures, it sure doesnt look like it has..

Hi mate,

no prob, thanks for answering! so the treo case is the one recommended? but you mentioned the blackjack case for iphone that fits. so the comment is abt iphone or our kaisers?

sorry, a bit confused ..

[blue_94_trooper]

In general Treo cases should fit, the dimensions are very similar. I bought a case off eBay for 99 cents (+$5 shipping) that has the Handspring logo on it and it fits nicely. All I want is a magnetic horizontal leather case and this will one will do until I find one that I really like (nicer leather, thinner, etc.)

[cornellfOo]

Hmm, I thought the Novere cases doesnt have that plastic over the keyboard? from the website pictures, it sure doesnt look like it has..

I haven't bought it yet, but I don't think the Noreve has the plastic over the keyboard. The Noreve also has a hard bottom and doesn't have the white stiching.

[texas]

IMO that plastic covering the keyboards look really cheap and takes away from the feel of the keyboard.

If anyone has gotten one of the Noreve keyboards yet I'd love some hands on reviews, and or better photo's then what's one the website.

Thanks

I've got the Nonreve case. Its not bad but a couple of things worry me. Firstly, a lot of the side of the pda is actually unprotected. I'm not sure what would happen if I dropped it. Secondly, the top cover does not fit tightly but is kind of loose, which I don't like. Lastly, The pda actually fits really well into the bottom part of the cover, no plastic, very secure, so thats good for me.

A bit too bulky for a trouser pocket. I've started looking at the pdair aluminium one which looks excellent. I can see I'm going to end up with about 4 cases!

leather will not protect your device much from the shock if you dropped it !! :eek: ( maybe a little & just scratch protection )

it also depends on the angle the device landed too ... the leather case ... if it landed face or back might be ok ... but at a sharp corner/angle .. I can't see it protects much.

only the hard case will help from height drop ...etc

I just ordered this case http://cgi.ebay.com/For-HTC-Tilt-8925-TyTN-II-WALLET-PHONE-CASE-CAR-CHARGER_W0QQitemZ300167914027QQihZ020QQcategoryZ15 036QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemt from eBay.

I realize this is a bit of a "man purse" but it may be just the thing for me, we shall see.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received this case - it is actually very nice quality, genuine leather - smells great! So, a good price.

The issues are: 1) credit card slots are incredibly tight (maybe they will loosen up over time), 2) zippered compartment has much more depth than it needs, simply to hold ID and credit cards.

However, the zippered compartment is a good fit for my Casio EX-Z750 camera, so I will use it for this purpose, sometimes. It won't be my daily driver because it is a bit too bulky, and with phone and camera inside, it is quite a strain on my belt.

The bad thing about this case ... besides it adding bulk in your pocket and having to deal with the flap and magnetic ... is that when it's open, the snap closure dangles around your ear. Not too good.

[KruseLudsMobile]

Here are my parameters with what makes a great case:

1. On the belt.

2. Small, does not stick way out and make me you look like a geek - mimial profile

3. Ability to get the unit in and out of the case FAST

4. SAFETY and PROTECTION so that your unit is not dropped

Here is one that seems to fit the bill

http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-42591.html

- I have ordered one. In my opinion however, it would be even better to find a case that holds the unit - with no flap - horizontally against your belt. That is what I have now, but it's got a darn flap...

Here are many more colorful options: http://www.thepocketsolution.com/att_tilt_accessories.html

BTW ... the case in the first link is the exact same as the PDAir case. I picked one up off ebay and it's a nice enough case, the major issue being the closure flap dangling about your ear and head.

I have an aluminum case on order hoping that will be the perfect case.

Still searching ...

The case in my previous post has no flap whatsoever. Check again:

I bought the Krussel case. My observations and thoughts:

1) It's beautifully crafted and much cheaper than the "pay for the name' brands out there - quality vs cost.

2) The plastic holder makes it a very tight fit. Not an easy thing to get the phone out again but then it ain't going anywhere once it's in.

3) The Plastic rucks when the screen is tilted. Due to the left hinge catching the edge. Easily sorted by shaving a bit of it away around this area. It's tough but responsive when typing.

4) In order for the camera to be used the flap has to be pulled right back. Slightly concerned at the stress this causes the stitching however, the life time warranty is a testament to their confidence though and I've no doubt they'll honour it (see below).

Note: Krussel's service is second to none. I had a Hermes case from Ebay that was slightly damaged. The seller didn't respond. Krussel asked for some photos and told me to fill in their form. Once I did this, they accepted that the cost of posting to them was not economical so they told me to hang on to the old one. On top of that I asked if they would replace it with a Kaiser case as I'd upgraded. They did. 3 days later my brand new case arrived. (each email were answered promptly in a few hours unless they were closed in which case first thing in the morning when they opened). It's rare to see this kind of attention from any manufacturer.

Can't get better than that .. or can it?

!!!! WOW! you mean, you got it off Ebay, a used one, and they gave you the new Kaiser one for FREE !!!?!!

wow, that is unbelievable! you lucky fella!

but too bad, i'm concerned with the plastic over the keyboard .. does it hinder typing on the keys?

without anything over it, the keys are already hard to press (as compared to my Hermes) ...

Bundle that case with your G4700X Charging car kit and I will preorder both right this minute!

http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=881

BOTH of these are what I have been waiting for!

I assume the rubberized case you mention above will also work for those who have your INNO.DOCK cradle as well?

They both look the same to me. Do you think they are both made by the same company?

Im planning to get this and it looks really professional and slick. http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=151856

Have any of you tried this one out?

absolutely no difference ... except the outside box that it came in will either say BOXWAVE or PDAIR ... that's it !!!

let me give you an example ... years ago ... I used to worked at a brake pads making manufacturer that make a handful of different types of brakes ... and when it goes out the door ... it could be labeled as any famous name brands as you would like as per vendor's orders ...etc

same pad materials/designs ... from same manufacturer ... except the it was wholesale to certain customers ... therefore it get specific name labels ...etc.

~~~

this is the first design of the aluminum case for the Kaiser ... my guess is ... those 2 above vendors got their orders from a wholesale MFG and then redistribute them :D ... so go for the bargain price out of the 2.

have you look on ebay ??

anyone have either?

[imergo]

Has anyone taken a look at this case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170169850426

It looks like a two-piece plastic snap on, similar to the leather snap-on that many of us have requested from Boxwave:

http://www.boxwave.com/products/leathersnapcase/leather-snap-case-htc-hermes_1266.htm

Sent an email to the seller asking about the material and whether it has any internal padding, but no response yet.

Just received my Seidio case today! This is exactly what I was hoping for. Buying the right case is so very subjective, but for me it is perfect. It has a very secure feel when the phone is clipped into the case. There is very little chance of it falling out. In fact the only way it could is if you inadvertently hit the spring loaded clip. The clip itself is very well made and has just the right amount of tension for keeping the phone secure. It clips easily onto your belt and keep the phone in a very neutral position. The belt clip rotates 90 degrees in both directions for horizontal carry. The interior part of the case, which is where the face of the phone would be resting is lined with heavy felt. More than enough to protect the phone. I would worry somewhat about it wearing out over time. The look of the case is matted black, definitely not shiny in any way.

All in all, this is an outstanding case, very well made and durable. Perfect match for those who want to carry the Tilt/Kaiser on their belt.

Which case from Seidio fits the Tilt? I thought it wasnt out yet? Also does it have the cutout for the camera on the front? Why cant they make a case without the cutout for us US Tilt owners how are minue the camera :mad:

I think the Rubberized case will be cool, as it will allow the Tilt to open- without taking off the case. Just wait till XMAS when hopefullt they will be released. I might be on my 3rd Tilt by then- as my 2nd tilt had the screen crack at day 40 :(

I just got the Noreve case and it is a nice form factor. I started with the PDAir case and it served the purpose of covering the phone, but I did not lik3 (1) the closure flap as it dangled right at your ear, and (2) the plastic keyboard cover.

The Noreve case has a flap but it fips from side to side as oppos
