Default Lack of Cases for Artemis

Hi,

Is it just me or are the case manufacturers quite slow at getting out cases for the Artemis?

I would ideally like a Krussell Red Label Classic style case or a Brando with the horizontal flip that covers only the screen.

Was even thinking about trying an iPod Video case as they are about the same size as an Artemis. Would need to modify it a bit but I am sure it would do.

Does anybody have any idea of when more cases will be released? I am not interested in either the current PDair cases or Brando' first case offerings. Also not keen on a Silicone one as they attract to much dust and they done protect the screen.

Regards

hi spangelsaregreat,

I know you say you have already rejected the PDair cases... but.. I bought one of GPSforLess (their ebay shop) until I find a suitable silicone case for my orbit and I'm really impressed with it.
The quality of the case and the stitching etc is very good....

HTH

I've just ordered a PDair 'book' case for the orbit I'm getting next week - I was wondering if, with the design changes between the Artemis and the Orbit, all the holes line up in the right places?
Cheers and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hi,

As a stopgap I am going to get the PDair vertical flip case. I intend to modify it a bit by cutting it down so that it only covers the screen and not the buttons.

Hopefully Krussel will get there classic case out shortly.

Default Very nice hardcase

Gents,

This weekend I found a shop that sells a aluminum hardcase for the Artemis.

They are called Siemshop and have a shop at Ebay.com.
It comes in 2 different versions: aluminium and black anodised.
Price is approx. 19 USD.

I order a black one yesterday and will post my findings ones I have reveived it.

I already have one of the cases from Siemshop, I have the brushed aluminium case and it is a near perfect fit apart from there is a slight issue with removing the stylus while the phone is in the case.

I don't see this as much of a problem as I plan to use my dremel to reduce the case in that area to sort the problem.

I believe the case is made by pdair as mine was packaged quite nicely in a pdair box etc. The screen is protected by a plastic screen which can be easily removed if you wished.

So I would recommend if you have had this type of hard case in the past get this one, as you cannot beat it due to it not really increasing the bulk of the device and allowing you to attach it to your belt if you so wish.

Hi,

Been using the PDair vertical flip case for a week now.

Its okay but to be honest it is a pain to use when someone calls you.

I have now ordered a Boxwave case which has the buttons exposed and a horizontal flip which covers the screen only.

Will post some pics when it crosses the Atlantic.

Regards

hello,

@spangelsaregreat
Thanks for the hint this case looks very promising. I'm also looking for an appropriate flip case and the Piel Frama was the only one fitting my needs...but 50 € is a bit too much in my opinion. I'm impatiently looking foreward to your review.

...bye DonQ
