For those who want one, I found this:
http://products.smartphoneexperts.com/content/accessories/4-150--1806.htm
The dimensions of a treo 755p are nearly the same as the xv6800. Without any addtional case protection the unit slides in perfectly. I'm using seido's super slim rubberized case so my unit is a bit tighter fit, but still doable.
I put my device in upside down so the cut-out hole that would normally be at the top lines up perfectly with the center button at the bottom.
The clear plastic is a bit thick making touching the screen difficult. But because the form shape is strong, and given it's only $10 (cheap to screw up), I'm so incline to cut away the plastic for touch screen access without fears of the device falling out.
Access to the side buttons/jogwheel is not ideal. You can't see them. And even though the sides are made of some stretchy material, it's hard to feel for them. You'll have to know where the buttons are. But again, because the form is strong, I think cutting holes at strategic places would work.
I've been using this along with a bluetooth headset now for 2 weeks at the gym and it has been great.
Hopefully this helps active xv6800 users.
PS. I should mention that I'm not sure how well it would work out if the device is using an extended battery. But the backside of the holster has a thin sheet of reinforcing plastic/or-something.
