New Horizontal Leather Case for the HTC Advantage X7510, X7501, & X7500 by NUTSHELL

Nutshell: http://tuff-as-nuts.com/index.asp?PageAction=COMPANY

I had contacted Nutshell regarding a customized Horizontal Case (black) that will fully enclosed the HTC Advantage X7510 with the leather pouch included about 2 months ago. I was able to get intouch with Ian Miller and was basically received with open arms. I was asked to submit my design and the dimensions.

The dimensions are: 5.8 inches (lenght) x 4.4 inches (height) x 1.30 inches (depth).

It is closed by a velcro flap that fully covers the top of the case preventing any accidental exposure to the elements.

The back of the case has the D ring and metal belt clip lined with leather. But in all honesty, I think it would have looked better if the metal clip was left without the leather strip cover. It would looked nicer if the silver finish of the metal clip was shown rather than hidden.

But all in all, the case is very well made. The stitches and cuttings were done right and very clean. The case will protect the X7510 and it's leather pouch while having the ability to clip it to your belt or trousers on the go.

I paid $95.00 for the case, but it may become cheaper if it will be popular.

I have attached pictures for you guys and gals to check. I believe NUTSHELL will mass produce them if the demand is high enough.

THANK YOU NUTSHELL (Ian) for a case well done.

Feel free to ask questions...

Added pictures...

nice find as i just bought myself another case but this one i like a lot better although the case i bought was only $49

Thanks Christian. Glad to help.

As this was a prototype, we have not yet given it a part number...but we shall and then post it to our catalog.
With your blessing I"ll use some of the images you have posted here.

Obviously we shall try to price it right, but as the first few will, like this one, be hand cut, pricing will have to stay the same in the short term.

However, if there is an interest (and it has to be considerable to make it worthwhile, we'll likely look at getting the assets that will enable us to run off some volume).

That said, it really is over to the community to determine if this product gets wings...or....?

A suggestion: Maybe someone could open a book to register interest (bulk purchases work best and enable us to finetune our pricing). As I am not a regular on this forum, maybe that someone could run point for me on this.

So it really is over to you guys.
We'll do what we can.
All the best.

Nutshell,

Very well taken pictures indeed. Looks like real good quality pouch. Is it made to custom sizes? I normally carry my device without the keyboard, so it is quite a bit thinner and smaller. What would be the total cost shipped to Australia?

Also, a question for cktlcmd. Currently, I have a soft pouch, and taking it out is easy, as I can squeeze the soft pouch to push out the device. With a hard leather one, I imagine it is not easy to squeeze the bottom to force the device upward, so one would have to lift it up. Would that be easy? Or would the device be too slippery for that, even that I carry it naked?

In my case, since it also houses the X7510 with keyboard and the leather case, it is not slippery at all. It is easy to grab it on top and just pull it out. The case itself is not made of really hard leather plus it is lined inside with felt like skin to protect the device from being scratched by the case itself. The technique I use to get it out fast is to pull on top and press each sides of the case because that is where I notice the greatest hold on the device occurs.

In your case, since you will probably want Nutshell to adjust the measurements to accommodate just the device, it won't even be a problem because of the soft felt lining, it will just slid easily in and out.

It trully is a nice case. I wish they had designed it like this from the start.

I am very interested!

I have listed the product for the x7510 in our catalog:
Horizontal belt case for HTC x7510

Sure, we can make you a slimmer horizontal case.
Costs would be the same.
We would need the dimensions without the keyboard.

Shipping to Oz from NZ depends on how quickly you would want one.

Contact me through the website.

Will the 7510 case also fit the 7500/7501? My understanding is that they are the same dimensions... Anyone know offhand?
