Default "Fast Open" Case/Wallet Combo

Anyone know of a nice case for the 8125 with a credit card pocket?

I am looking for something that can hold about 7-8 credit cards (ideally a secure pocket, so the cards don't fall out.)

Also, it should be easy to open quickly (without taking the 8125 out) so I can make a call.)

Finally, quality is important, something like Piel Frama would be great.

Thanks!

Default Case/Wallet combo

In searching for cases, I was only quasi-impressed, until I came across this case (Naztech Voyage)...

This may be my first 3rd party 8125 case (I'm a PPC newb, former Palm/Clie user).

Tangential:

I googled the company Naztech, and they have a BUNCH of other types of cases as well, and they seem to have a LOT of really cool designs, almost up there with Vaja (at a lower price)

I don't have any affiliation with Naztech, so I can't speak of the quality, but they certainly LOOK slick...

anyone else use Naztech cases?

Thanks. Did you get the case and if so, how do you like it?

Does the 8125 (Wizard) fit in it O.K.?

Also, does that clip come off (I hate clips:)

I went looking for reviews, and came across one site that actually had a pic of the 8125 in the case. It certainly looks good.

There's a few reviews on forums (very positive), but I guess the company isn't doing a great job of marketing itself... I'm 99% sure this is the case I'm going to order this week, after seeing the pics.

I played with something similar in a store and it seems that half the time I replace the phone in the case it presses on a button.

The clip is also a deal-killer:(

So far, I have given up that I will be able to find a decent-looking, well-made case for the Wizard which can hold credit cards.

So I've started looking at flip cases. Most of them seem to have the same problem of pressing on the Wizard's buttons when one closes them, or are just ugly (like the Brando case.)

It would be great if someone made something like this for the Cingular 8125: http://www.ebcases.com/-strse-3192/S...nap/Detail.bok

Has anyone tried this one http://www.ebcases.com/Detail.bok?no=3357 for the 8125? It looks like it wouldn't press on buttons when closed and it would be easy to open quickly to answer or make a call.
