Default Tailored belt clip case for Ameo without keyboard

I believed lots of people are looking for a belt clip case for your U1000/Ameo, and not much can be found in the market.

After buying Lowepro SlipLock™ Pouch 20, still find that it is not very professional to carry around with business pants, so decided to get a tailor to do a custom case.

This is the 1st trial, and more design will be coming for him (a new business for him), got 3 different fabric, leather alike (PVC as shown), computer slipcase 1 and computer slipcase 2.

As for the belt clip, it has a pass through loop and magnet loop (so no need to remove your belt).

As for the flap cover, there are 2 different kind (magnet & Velcro).

The final product should have a complete flip to cover rather than open top.

Now, he is giving me for free, as I think he found a new business, going to sell the case for S$35, which I think it is okay, as the workmanship is good and best of all, none in the market for now.

If he can start taking orders now he's got a winner! Has he got a website? Does he want one? Hosted free? Taking Paypal Order? I'll sort it all out for him ;)

I am still waiting for his 2nd trial (complete top flip and other material).

This is only available in Singaproe, as he is just a local Chinese old tailor, so no website, no Paypal, only got Singapore local number and only speak Chinese and Cantonese

Ah well, not to worry - I'm sure there will be similar offerings over here soon enough.

Just visited him again, still do not have the 2nd design, as he is real busy with his real business (PDA case is a new business).

He just shown me a new fabric, real sheep leather, very thin & soft. I do not think it can hold as belt clip case, but can make it into a slipcase, just a protective case over the Ameo in case of scratches

That's still a good idea. I for one wouldn't be attaching it to my belt - the case would be purely for protection whilst on my travels.
