Pro-Porta Alu-leather case fiasco! - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories

Just wanted to let people know, who are considering buying a proporta alu-leather case to check carefully what they get sent. I ordered one just before Xmas, and what with Xmas, didn't actually open it until the other day - what I found was quite different to what is shown on their website - basically, the images on their site show it has a keyboard cover, attached to the rest of the case which would allow the screen to close with no undue pressure on the hinge. On the one I was sent, there is no keyboard cover and the leather of case is much more intrusive around the phone, making closing the screen difficult. Needless to say, I phoned them and was told that they get these cases from 2 different suppliers and I was told I would be sent a new one - this arrived today and, marvellous, its the same one again!!! Called them back, and was told that the cases from the other supplier would not actually be back in until next week, and I will be sent one then - one consolation is that they are sending me a screen protector as an apology.
I'm a little incredulous that, not only do they have 2 different suppliers of these cases, that the 2 suppliers make them differently - especially as the images on their website show only one version with multiple images that supposedly allow you to make an informed choice before buying!
Anyway, I now have 2 of the wrong cases that I will be holding Proporta to ransom with until the proper one arrives!
Rant over!

Hey, i had the same problem too ... the case they sent me was totally different from the one on their website. There are a couple of terrible flaws with it. Other than the problem already mentioned, there are other issues such as:
1) IR is completely blocked
2) No speaker holes
3) Backlight button is partially covered
I brought the problems up with proporta and they said they will look into the issues and let me know if they come up with a modified case. They didn't mentioned anything about taking supplies from two suppliers or anything like that. Looks like I'm gonna have to drop them a mail soon. Could you please let me know when you get your case changed ? I wanna get mine exchanged too
The biggest problem with the case however, is that the plastic post that hangs on to the belt clip on my case literally shattered to bits when I applied some pressure to the tip of the belt clip when clipped on to the case. When I brought this up to proporta, they mentioned that they are aware of such issues with their belt clip in a "very very small" number of cases, and they sent me replacement plastic post.
I would highly recommend that you test the plastic post that clips on to the belt clip for strength before putting it to actual use. You wouldn't want it to break while in actual use.
Here are pics of the disaster:

Hmmm....
I also ordered from proporta about a week before the x-mas holidays.
I received the Alu-Leather case as shown on the webpage.
Everything fits (would have prefer that the case have a larger hinge so that it's easier to close) and it's also easy to pull out too - so that I can place my Qtek in the Brodit Active holder in my car.
The belt clip comes with it also and all you need to do is to remove the original screw that is on the back of the case and screw in the one from the belt clip that they sent you. And no....mine didn't shatter.
I hope they take care of the problems both of you are having.

I think its utterly stupid to have 2 suppliers making what is supposed to be the same case to a totally different spec - its not the same case then!
I am less worried about the belt clip - I don't carry my phone on my belt. Although the fact that on the 'proper' case the hole for the clip is blanked off with a screw as opposed to just being a hole will look rather neater!
I will allegedly receive my replacement case next week - I will keep you posted!

christan....
My clip button looks really different from yours.
Mine's flat with just slightly rounded edges.
Harap - harap kau dapat gantian case baru dari proporta!

Captainsensible, any news of your replacement case ? ...

Nope, I will be ringing them soon to find out what is going on!

Just spoken to them, and the 'proper' case has been delayed again! I have withdrawn my order and will be sending the 2 wrong ones back and getting a refund - I am also annoyed that they didn't actually send me the screen protector that they had promised would be sent separately to the replacement case. All in all, a bad experience...

MAGNESIUM CAE FO XDA2S, QTEK 9090 etc

Received this case this morning. It's light, protects brilliantly, looks good, is functional in that you can access all buttons answer calls etc while it's cased, and has 2 slots for SD cards. You can even charge/connect GPS cable while cased. All in all pretty pleased and took just 4 days from order to delivery.

hi i had this case for a month now only1 bad thing against it the glass on case scratches easy but iam happy with it
Cant see on the picture, does it have a belt clip?
MDAUser
Yes it does have a detachable belt clip. If you click on the link there are 10 good pictures truly representative of what you get !
How much you paid for the shipping ???
as it comes from the USA...
P&P was $6. Not bad in my view.
I'm interested in this case too, but I have some questions:
1. Does it have a hole for the phone micro? (in the screenshots is not clear)
2. Is reception affected by that kind of metal?
3. Is the close mechanism secure enough? Cannot the PDA slide down to the floor too easily?
4. Can I use the headphones even while cased? (in the screenshots is not clear)
Thanks,
Mr B

Mr B
1. Yes
2. Not that I've noticed, so no
3. Close clips are secure, and it can't slide out open or closed. I can actually hold the case upside down while open with the PDA in it and the side clips hold it in place - not recomended !!!!
4. Haven't actually tried this but almost certainly. The socket is accessible and I think the elbow on the plug would clear the case
(Just been out to the car to get the h/phones and there's no problem.)
I've had my case for some time now - I use and recomend a screen protector on it.
The only minor complaint is that it has a few minor paint scratches - but overall very much worth having.
is it just me or does it look a bit like some sort of a halo helmet ? :lol:
Rudegar
A WHAT ??
halo == some game for xbox or something
a halo helmet is the helmet the hero (i'll asume)
is wearing

Halo hemet it is then - but definitely not red !!!!
hello brothers...
maybe just like this...
i hate to know that inno didn't make a magnE for my himalaya...

thanks for the pics: www.filairsoft.com
The girl on the left has definitely joined two cases together to make her helmet - no question. Even the colour's right !

Thanks a lot, Rick GM. Ordering one right now!

Ok i have had this case shortly after they were first available.
I have had the following issues.
The paint is chipping off
Second day I had the case I accidentally dropped it and I broke off one of the plastic clips that hold the case closed. (my SX66 flew out but still worked)
The plastic screen on the unit is heavily scratched (and I am careful)
I stopped using this on my belt as I chipped and scratch it this way.
Reception degraded a little bit but not to bad
I think the clips that hold this thing together could be revised (sent and Email to Innopocket)
the paint chipping off is a bit of a pain (now i have silver marks everywhere)
and they should fix that cheap screen they have on the front.
Would I say buy it. No not yet...wait till they fix the problems (if they fix the problems)
I am now looking at the aluminum case as it looks sturdier (and no plastic clips holding the sides)
My personal choices for best case(s)... PDA2K/SX66/XV6600
I have a few case suggestions I'd like to share. I have found a couple of cases that are exceptional and have been using both since I got my Blue Angel.
This is the second case I've owned from Bellagio Designs and they are of the highest quality I've ever seen. They are somewhat unknown and it's a bit difficult to find a vendor selling below retail price... Those factors notwithstanding, this is an excellent case with steel reinforcement, full access to the keyboard when open and will fit into the sync cradle (with a standard-size battery). When I couldn't find a re-seller with a significant discount, I purchased the case directly from Bellagio.
Check it out here:
http://bellagiodesigns.com/templates/images/pdacases/audiovox/xv6600/flip/animation.swf
My other favorite case is the Otterbox 2600. It is a crush-proof, waterproof case (it even floats) with access to the touch-screen and the keys on the face of the device while in the case (through a plastic screen saver). The case is considered universal and fits a wide variety of PDA's, so test the waterproof quality on a junker if you're unsure... I found the lowest price (believe it or not) for this case at HP's Small/Medium Business site. The price was $45 after shipping, less than the suggested retail ($49.99) and less than I found on eBay.
You can check it out here:
http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product.asp?sku=2520052
These may not be the right cases for your particular needs... I needed a high-quality case to carry on my belt that wouldn't spill my PDA when I least expected and I needed a protective case for the elements I'm occasionally forced to work in. I think that these two cases are exceptional values to protect the money and time I've invested in my PDA.
Cheers to all...
Mick
Uhmmm... the case is like the BA itself
I finally got the case like 45 days ago, and i must say it works as the Blue angel it self...
It arrived and 2 seconds after putting the BA on it the plastic screen was scratched.
The paint chipped off almost on contact to air...
a week ago the belt clip broke
in general it protects the BA and it has withstand several falls and stuff how ever after just a few days of normal wearing it started to look horrible all chipped and silver marks everywhere...
Is like the BA a helluva Idea wich is not fully functional yet... but it works sometimes

Krussell case for O2 Exec

Anyone know where I might get a Krussell case for my Exec?
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=127398&asource=119353
Thinking of getting one myself so if anyone has one.... how you finding it?
Yoc81
Thanks, that looks like just what I want. I wonder if it has the credit card slots like my XDA1 case has...can't really tell from those pictures.
At the moment, I can't decide which one to go for, here is my shortlist:
1) http://www.pielframa.com/o2_xda_exec.htm
2) http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=1354&t_mode=des
(more pics: http://www.pdair.com/scripts/main/viewitem_v2.php?itemid=1923&pdaid=190)
3) http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=1353&t_mode=des
Yeah, they're pretty nice, but useless to me without a belt clip.
Both Proporta cases have a belt clip according to their salesman I spoke to on Friday.
Really? In that case the Alu-Leather option is starting to look very interesting...
Heres a review of it with a pic of the belt clip:
http://www.clieuk.co.uk/execbookcase.htm
The only annoyance I can see with this case is that the answer and hangup buttons are covered so you have to open case to answer a call. Not too much of an annoyance.
Unless of course you are using a bluetooth headset. Voice dialing works quite well on the EXEC.
Krussell assure me that they now have stock at their warehouse. Expansys on the other hand put delivery up from 5 days to 7 days last week and haven't changed it since
Concerning the Proporta Alu-Leather Case, I just received an e-mail from Proporta stating that the case does not have a belt clip.
Not sure wot's right.
The review shows a belt clip.....sigh....do I need to spend more money to get a belt clip?
Anyway, the proporta case is already on it's way here....as soon as I get it, I'll confirmed if it was shipped with a belt clip or not.
FYI, I purchased the case from proporta themselves.
it has a belt clip
i already have one
the annoying thing is that when installed (its detachable) it is dificult to use the keyboard because it has to pivot on the belt clip interface.
however its a marvellous case, and highly recommended
I had the Krussel on order for a month with expansys and had a series of ecuses from them and so cancelled and stuck with the Pdair case.....
I have likewise had one on order with Expansys for over a month and have finally cancelled it... still looking for an appropriate alternative.
For those who are looking for Krussel, it is in stock here...:

Ahrrr, from those photos it looks like there is clear plastic over the keyboard, please tell me it isn't so?
How can it be so difficult? All I want it a good quality case, with a cover over the screen and NO PLASTIC COVERING THE KEYBOARD.
Wouldn't happen to be getting rid of your original O2 Executive case then? (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36188)

Hi,
I've just received mine from an UK ebay dealer I've used before, fast delivery as usual from them considering it's Christmas.
A very tight fit, clear cover over the keyboard and over the display when it's on the outside (nothing over the display when the device is open). Two straps over the front speakers to press studs on the back. The front flaps free when undone as it's not fixed to the display. I also came complete with the belt clip as usual.
Very well made like all Krussell Cases. It adds very little to the bulk, there is no extra storage for cards.
It's nowhere near as nice as the cases for my XDA2 or IPAQ 3715, but the Exec, with the rotating display must be a nightmare to make a case for.
All in all, a cheap, well made case, that I find far more practical than the supplied slide in case.
Regards
Wooky
So which case is best?
My MDA Pro had a little bit of an accident over Christmas, 4 days after receiving it I put it in my jacket pocket, got in my car, drove to destination, got out, checked phone and the screen had completely cracked. The flimsy shell covering the back of the screen is too exposed to external pressure. Having had to wait almost two weeks to get a replacement I am very interested in the strongest and most practicable case - as well as at a reasonable price.
I'm not bothered about belt clips, SD cards fit nicely in my wallet/pocket/car, I've had aluminium cases before and they tended to slip out of my hand, but I like the strength. Any recommendations?

Rearth Ringke Atrix Case Review

So I got contacted in a PM from this person asking me if Id be willing to check out their case. I saw they only had one post and I thought it was spam at first. Im used to getting PM's about getting free iPad's and whatnot so I figured this was part of the mix. They wanted my name and address to ship me a case to try and review. Cant trust anyone these days asking for your personal information right?
Then I clicked the link under the signature of the sender. Rearth was the company I got linked to. I had never heard of this company before and wasnt sure if I was still involved with a ruse or not. Then I did some digging and found that this was a new company to the US making cases for popular phones and other devices.
I figured why not and PM'd back my information. I promptly got an email thanking me for taking part of the review process and was given a tracking number for the case.
Unfortunately, they put my address on the shipment incorrectly. I watched the shipment daily in my tracker as it went from their warehouse, to my local post office, only to see the next label as shipped back to sender for bad address. Oh well, I thought it was too good to be true and was still under the impression it was too good to be true.
I emailed the person I was in contact with what had happened and they apologized and said a new case was being shipped out immediately. Needless to say, a new one was shipped and I actually received it today.
After all the said and done, the first word I can use to describe the case is "Impressive".
The packaging was very nice and was able to see the case distinctly through the packaging. When I opened up the box, a little bag fell out with the case. This is apparently something exclusive to Rearth that I hadnt seen before but is one of those "Duh, why didnt I think of that" type things. The bag contained two little audio jack caps(one white and one clear). They fit very nicely into the audio jacks and are flush with the case when its all installed. I very rarely use my audio jack so it was nice to have something to close it up so lint or other stuff dont get inside.
I didnt have choice of color for the case but luckily I am a fan of yellow and it looks good on the phone. First thing I noticed about the case was how flexible it is and yet protective feeling at the same time. There are many flexible cases on the market that slip over the phone and feel like they would tear within a matter of days and justify the $1.99 you paid on ebay for it. This case however is not in the same league, its way above that.
The case is made from a very high quality silicone and it really feels like it. I really like that its got a texture to it but its not sticky either. Its hard to describe in words. Its slippery enough to slide in and out of your jean pocket easily without pulling out lint(a la Otterbox), but has a very fine coarseness to it that fingers cling to so that it wont be dropped too easily either.
Im used to using hard cases on all my phones that clip in and out of a holster(Seidio cases specifically) so this is my first experience using a softer silicone case. I like that it fits the phone perfectly without any flimsiness. The volume buttons are covered, but raised to feel the individual up and down, but the cutouts for all the other parts are precision cut. The cutout for the fingerprint reader is angled properly all the microphone and speaker ports are perfect. And like I previously mentioned, having the little cap in the audio port matches up perfectly and is a great feature. This little cap I have found, will work with other cases as well.
After using this case for much of the day I feel that I will be using this more and more as my daily case instead of the Seidio. I really like that the Seidio fits into the belt clip perfectly but I dont use that too often. And the Rearth case seems like it might protect it better with my daily tossing and dropping of the phone than the hard Seidio case.
Dont get me wrong, I still love my Seidio cases, but if I were going to put my money down on a silicone case for my phone or other device, it would definitely be from Rearth. I highly recommend this case to anyone in the market for a moderately priced silicone case. Keep an eye on this company, they are here to stay.

Nice review man.
I have the same case in blue this would also be my first soft case coming from cases like otterbox and Speck, this company is here to stay im impressed and i recommend it to all my friends who want a good case 5 out of 5 stars
I ordered one after reading some reviews on here. Good strategy on their part.
I also just ordered one. I have always like silicone vs the hard case.
LOVE this case in black! Has some texture to it, you may or may not like it, but I do. Very slim, will update tomorrow confirming with the car dock fit. Charging dock only really works with top plate removed.

Sorry, answered in a different thread. It physically fit inside the car dock, activates car mode with the clip secured, but the lip of the top clip doesn't reach to the face of the phone, it grips the top of the phone ok.
After owning this case for two months the rubber has worn out and pilled back a coat or twoo im pissed
Not sure why you used all caps...but seriously...contact them? 2 months is actually a decent amount of time for a silicone case...

[ZENUS/VERUS] Classy leather cases with flips

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/zenus-pr...ries-for-samsung-galaxy-note-black-p33541.htm
The current best flip cases for any galaxy note I guess.
It also doubles as a light wallet.
I have a zenus case for my Galaxy Tab 7 and it is very good quality.
Just what I was after, only I've already bought a separate stand and case now.
That's what I'm looking for as well -- protection, wallet, and stand all in one classy package!
Unfortunately I already ordered an Easecase leather case/wallet. It won't have the flap this one does, but at least it won't get in the way of the camera for quick pic taking...
Nice find.
Very elegant especially PRESTIGE CARBON DIARY

They look pretty but I generally don't recomment flip cases with card compartment inside as they'll leave annoying marks on the screen.
I am intersted in the carbon one but it uses a magnetic clip and after so much discusion on it I am becoming paranoid.
for features i want the ostrich, but only features, gawd its sooo ugly, not even and good colors, i would almost prefer alligator or something, BUT it has no dumb magnetic clasp, that would needed to be folded back to prevent it from interfearing with the screen all the time, and it has an earpiece cut out!! that would be a DEF in my book for any flip cover, sooo, i dont know, its a lot of money for a pimply cover

How do you know it uses magnetic?
Adding the VERUS brand to this topic. Similar cases.
I had once one of theirs for S2 (J style leather with no flip) the quality was medium at best, because the leather is stuck to a plate of plastic by some gum, and over 2 months most of the gum of corners just goes away and reveals the edges of the black plastic plate in an ugly fashion. So unless you take the BLACK color (so the edges worning off won't be noticable I'd be cautious with this brand if I were you. But it's quite cheap.
But I may be mistaken since it happened on a red S2 one without a flip, maybe they fixed the issue, or maybe the flip will protect the leather gummy insertion from pocket friction.

Another funny cover with kickstand I found http://cgi.ebay.fr/Folid-Stand-Leat...740?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f10e5037c
Ordered a black VERUS one because :
- cheaper
- no latch
- covers front (screenbreaking corners) and back corners in case it falls opened (zenus only does the back corners)
Will post a vidéo review of it in two weeks when I recieve it.

I contacted the company.
I ordered the black one as well, but I got an email saying it would not be in stock until the 24th, I'm happy to wait to get it though.
Good review/unboxing of the black version here.

I have the black version of the Verus ClassicK on order from the same vendor. Track and trace says it left Incheon via air on the 15th, so hopefully it will arrive before Christmas.

ClassicK uses magnets isn't it?
Looks like only the versus K protects the corners of the phone.
Most of the cases out there for the note leave the 4 corners exposed, they are the most likely to first impact the ground when you drop the phone. Those looking for cases for their notes need to find cases that also cover/protect the corners of the phone.
Just my 2 cents from past experiences.

I don't believe so. I don't speak Korean and Google translate will only get you so far! I can't work out if it's real or 'PU' leather either. Anyway, it should arrive in a few days, we'll see then

I will use cliphanger Pivit with it to made a case / belt
http://www.cliphanger.com/index.php?p_resource=home
For those who bought or ordered zenus diary case, don't forget to check if s pen works properly with magnet in case. In Korea one user found out that there is dead zone when using s pen due to interference from magnet and manufacturer knows that and asking users to return and get fixed one.
They said they almost collected cases which have the issue but who knows.
I will keep eye on it and will decide whether I buy or not

Anyone hear of Head Case Hard Back Case's??? They are in the UK and make cases for many devices including the Galaxy Note 10.1
They are selling on Ebay with free shipping, prices are from $7.95 to $10.95 us., for that price I may take a risk on one or two,
Here are a few examples of the hard back cases, they have 100's to choose from.

Anyone hear of Head Case Hard Back Case's??? They are in the UK and make cases for many devices including the Galaxy Note 10.1
They are selling on Ebay with free shipping, prices are from $7.95 to $10.95 us., for that price I may take a risk on one or two,

Did you end up buying one? Just saw them couple of days ago, I found some designs that I liked but not sure about the quality and how it looks in real life.

I still have not, it just not a priority as I'm happy with the cases that I have now. But I am very curious of the quality myself.
.
I have bought a couple for my gf's note1 and my razr phone. The case is so so, and the sides of the case are white despite the design of the back being colored.
I Bunch of cool designs wish they have a front protector built in to protect the screen when not in use

I did order one, it took about 10 days for delivery to USA from the UK.
I got the purple one shown above, it is very thin with the bottom and top edge completely open.
The sides wrap around the front to attach the case. The design coating on the back feels tacky and less likely to slip from your hand.
The inside of the hard back is white and the right and left sides have a strip that is about 3/16 that is also white.
Did not expect much for the price, and I probably got my moneys worth.

Would you say this is decent enough protection for while it's in use, and should still be put in a sleeve or other case when tossed in a bag?
Do you happen to also have the keyboard dock? If not, does it appear to add too much thickness to be able to dock while still protected? That's my only complaint about my folio case, is having to remove it from the holder whenever I want to use the keyboard dock. I figure it's only a matter of time before the case holder snaps or something from the constant in/out

There is no screen cover or protection. You would have to use a sleeve to travel with it. I do not have a keyboard dock but it may work.
I use it when at home while playing racing games, my 360 case is just to bulky and awkward when playing these types of games. I don't have to worry about setting in down for a few minutes on a hard surface if I need to take a call or something like that. I also have a jelly case that just covers the back but this one is much thinner. It is about 3/64 of an inch thick.
