leather case with zipper - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories

I've been looking for a decent enclosure for my pda for a while. A friend of mine bought the Alu-hard-case which seem not that convincing to me. I recently found this case:
http://www.handyshelter.de/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/2292
whichs seems pretty nice to me. Anybody who's got some experience with the case?
Does it fit with an extended battery?
Thx for you help
Michi

i'm also looking for something like this but i dont want access to any of the functions as i will not be using it as a fone very often
although it could be modified slightly i suppose......
but back onto your question.......
from previous experience with zip type cases they normally stretch where the material is around the zip (the bit between the plastic and the leather)
providing you dont store any cards or any bit in there with it it should stretch.....
i think i'll get one soon as my XDA EXEC will be with me tomorrow

I use a case designed for the Nintendo DS. Here is a similar case: http://shop.brando.com.hk/DSzipcase.php
This type of case works very well for me. I use my Universal with the extended battery ON always. It protects it from everything. I bought a similar case on clearance sale at Radio Shack for $2.

These leather cases seem ok but the one I have just leaves tiny bits of material all over the Orbit screen....anyone know of a simple pouch for the Orbit?
Don't mean to hijack the thread but anyone have one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/leather-case...0QQihZ012QQcategoryZ48673QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Looks to be designed specifically for O2 but I want to know if someone recognises it as a proper Artemis case and not some other model's case that just happens to fit. (ie is it a dedicated P3300 case that will have a perfect fit?)
looks like a generic. problem with sleeve cases is that you need to take the phone out to do anything. so unless its top quality you can get scratches and smears over time.
Just got the PDAair flip case (for my orbit). Its quite nice as it protects the screen and trackball without actually touching either. However it holds the orbit extremely tightly, have to struggle to take it out (although I mostly keep it in).
this looks like the best quality one:

buts it pricey. I'll see how my Pdaair is after a month .....

im using my 80gb ipod pouch until my case arrives! fits perfectly
Now got the pdair black metal case! its fantastic as the screen is protected.
One problem is you can't get the stylus out if you have an orbit, but a small amount of cutting with a hacksaw should sort that out
I got this case from ebay yesterday, seems very good....

It works very well, all functions accessible, is fairly bulky although and wont sit in car holder very well, however i believe a car holder is available which uses the round clip that comes with the case....

Universal sleeve for the Captivate?

I'm looking for a universal sleeve (like with BlackBerrys) that fit the Captivate. The inner material has to be really soft, so as not to scratch the phone (obviously). Does anyone know of an easily obtainable and inexpensive product that meets this description?
Is this () what you may be looking for? I had bought this for the Samsung Blackjack II. It fits the Captivate nice and snug too. Samsung branded, good quality, its on Amazon for $6.46.
If the link does not show up in this post put a general search on Amazon for "Samsung i607 Blackjack Flat Lthr Pouch".
I got the neoprene case on ebay for the htc evo

it fits the captivate perfectly, but it does have the htc logo on the front that may bother you
pdair makes one specifically for the captivate
http://goo.gl/RYhF
I've been looking for the same thing... EVERYWHERE.... so far this is the only one I can find, and I believe at this point I'm just going to give in and buy it
got my case from pdair... while not what I really wanting it will work...
some more info for those who care:
the inside isn't lined, it's just soft leather.
sides are not solid and by that I mean like this: http://goo.gl/m6Ry obviously different styles but the side is constructed the same, with the top and bottom portions open and a bit of elastic in the middle.
it fits perfect, and it's about as thick/bulky as you'd expect. which leads me to believe it would help a lot in a fall/drop.
seems sturdy and well made all in all a good product.
You could try something like this over at Fommy: http://bit.ly/dAoHBI
I had one like this on my Tilt2 before and worked out pretty well. I was thinking of getting one for my Captivate before I ended up going with a TPU case.
I believe they also have horizontal cases, and other pouches that fit our phones.
they have a case like this at walmart and it didn't fit very well... I guess I'm just worried that a generic case wont fit the phone properly since every generic case Ive tried to fit it in so far has failed to come close to a decent fit.
at $15 I might give it a go though, thanks
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Has any one found one that fits nice and is made for the captivate. I've gone to fry's, bestbuy, radio shack, and walmart, even ones I've found in gas stations don't fit right. Bout to break down and make one.

I bought this when i got my captivate. You can fit the phone in it, but the sleeve is too short for captivate, which block the top part of the sleeve that is meant to close to keep the phone from coming out easily. The phone will slide out if you put the sleeve upside down, but its not a problem for me, so i am still using it.
I too wanted a BlackBerry style sleeve. This is what I use-
krusell-gaia-mobile-pouch
I can't post a link or I would, but I got mine at the AndroidCentral store.
The BB sleeve has those nice rubberized edges to help cushion a fall, and those sleeves are a "little" more stiff than this one, which is mostly just pseudo-leather with a soft inner lining. The edge may still help on a drop, but the most important part...
It goes in and out of your pants pocket nicely while in the sleeve.

Accessories Suck

The accessories suck for this phone, like 2 crappy cases available. maybe 3.
anyone find anything descent?
I agree, this phone is largely being ignored by that accessory makers in favor of the hotter, sexier phones. Still, I managed to find this case on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NY7CVU . Very well made and fits the phone perfectly. I did a slight mod on mine and cut a small rectangle out of the side so I can charge the phone without having to take it out of its case. Otherwise, have only tried one screen protector, which turned out to be junk.
bandroidx, I think I have most of the cases available on the market. The Amzer rubber cases are inexpensive (9.95) on Amazon. They are grippy and secure on the phone. The Otterbox Commuter is nice also and available at Amazon. It is a two piece design with a hard plastic exterior that wraps around a rubber inner liner. I also got a Speckcase from AT&T when I first got the phone. The case was an early production and lacked a cutout in the rear for the speaker. This has since been remedied. I didnt care for it as much because it is so secure around the phone that it is hard to get in and out to access battery. Hope this helps.
I got a nice rubber form fitting case with all the cutouts and a wide selection of colors on Amazon for $1.25+$2.95 shipping, as far as a screen cover, I haven't needed one with the gorilla glass it features.
amazon.com search for Cbus wireless, they ship quick too!
The only case we have at ATT Cor stores are the *speck cases. They look great and fit well but they cover the speakerphone so if you rely SP your out of luck.
I use an invisible shield case on mine. Works great and has definitely helped protect my phone and makes it easier to wipe down.
I got an otter box and love it and they're only like thirty three at amazon which isn't much more than the spec. The defender.

i got the hard plastic cover case from ATT pretty suckish and i really dont use it at all, i only use the screen protector
It would be nice to see some sort of car dock for music/nav in the car. Im not a huge fan of cases because of the rubber-like outside already on the phone.
You tried googlin international online stores?
Otterbox
+1 for Otterbox, great case with good protection and fit
I just don't like how the proximity sensor is just open. Dust gets in like crazy.
Sent from my MB520 using XDA Premium App
given that its not high end phone its no surprise there few accessories are available at the moment.
i'd love an extended battery more than anything else. i'm a heavy user.
can anyone recommend a nice one? i'm not sure what to get.
I wiah we had better accessories
the used bravo i just got has a otter box commuter case on it, im really not imppressed with the fit, its big. on my friends evo 4g is big too.
so anyways im buying a couple of ebay rubber cases. if there are good, i will post the link and some pics when i get them
Having an idea to make my own car and home docks. Phone reacts to magnet around the usb port. Idea idea. Also I saw a dock at an AT&T store that looked like one for the bravo but one little detail, the usb would be backwards from our phone. Take it apart and just turn it around? Hmm.......
after 3 days ordered i got these cases, i got them from this seller http://myworld.ebay.com/shipmaster8/?_trksid=p4340.l2559
link to item
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230700814358#ht_888wt_1037
they are 5.75 for 2 free shipping, really good fit maybe just 1-2 mm off, doesnt effect anything, its real good for the price fast shipping. i wound say much better quality than the otter box commuter. beefier too, not very bulky
i also got these films, very good too

here are the pics
Here's some good accessories!
Of course everything is on eBay.
Desktop Charging Dock
Wall Dock + Extra BF5X Battery, Cheap! I would buy it just for the battery.
Search Results for the tons of cases now available + Screen protectors too. I really like the look of the Carbon Fiber case. Going on a shopping spree in February. Budgeted $800 for eBay stuff.

Plastic case, pouch, screen protector?

My box of Xperia Play didn't include a pouch so I must buy something to protect the phone.
I saw a cool plastic case: http://www.accessorygeeks.com/oem-t...-plastic-silicone-case-ag-xper-py-bk-blk.html and I thought it's good for me, but after a while I realised it turns the phone into a brick, something I don't really want to.
So then another option is to get a pouch, searched and found a few, but pretty expensive ($35 - $60). I just want something good, good looking and for a price of maximum $15.
Optional: An invisible screen protector which theoretical protects the screen for scratches.
I need some help here. What should I buy?
I don't know if you know this but, the Xperia Play comes with a preinstalled invisible screen protector. So you're half covered already.
I can't recommend you a case/pouch since I don't have one but I don't even want to know how bulky it'd be with one when it's on my pocket.
I got the official sony ericsson executive hardcase and i love it - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Ericsson-SMA7110-Executive-Xperia/dp/B004S5CP0Q
I don't really like the snap on case because I hate adding bulk to an already bulky phone and also I have the DK300 dock and it would require me to constantly take off the other cases.
I also bought the official pouch that came with the European models from here - http://www.netimes.com/shop/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-pouch-ca850-p-3255.html?cPath=70_808

Off-topic but how trustworthy is that site? I see they have a lot of accessories and ship worldwide, so far I've only used DealExtreme but they don't have many phone-specific stuff (except for the iphone).
Fast and efficient and supply tracked shipping.
I was amazed they had tracked shipping with signature approval for something that was just an envelope.

Check this out: (google foofshop)
I bought my macbook sleeve/pouch from there a few years ago and it was awesome for keeping scratches off etc. Then When I got my play I measured up the iphone sizes for their iphone cases and on a whim just bought one to see if my would fit in it. was a bit tight at first but after a while it now fits as snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug! and it looks cool aswell, hardly adds any bulk and even if it does at least when I pull it out I don't look like I have a brick for a phone but just an awsome pouch/sleeve thing and i pop my phone out of. defo recomend.
So to make sure you guys are aware, if you're up for it, buy the iphone sized one, thats the one I got. They are designed to fit iphones but plays fit fine ;oP lol. They're Australian based but post all around the world, i got mine within a week in the UK.

I got the second one with my phone. I generally hate phone cases but this is nice since it's not making a brick out of phone and it's not taking away it's style. On the left is a cut-out so the headphones plug isn't covered, and it makes easier to take out the phone.
Pouch on first link is a bit ugly.
bought a cheapy gel case of Amazon and noticed there is not openings for the stereo speakers , I just looked at the case in post 1 and it has not speaker openings as well
This item, on ebay, has the speaker ports open, and is slimmer, and better than the Gel one I tried:
Search for that item number: 190527208284
I've got one of these, and it's well worth a few quid more.
Your case looks like the one i was going to order from Amazon for £2.99 , but is only £1.99
Thanks
John.

lol..It's a nice case, fits well, is slimmer than the crap one I had(prepaymania £2 gel case, and another from local phone shop, both identical to be honest), and I had given up on cases for it, as well, I thought most were the same(people even have issues with otterbox, etc..)
It's semi transparent, and it allows the sliding motion well, better than the other two I tried, i felt they were prising the phone apart, but this one isn't an issue.
well worth £1.99, IMO.
Cool stuff

Great case with OUT a cover

I searched everywhere for recommendations for a case with OUT a cover. I wanted just a case that covered the back and as slim as possible and with some grip but NOT sticky. I took a chance and bought this case for my 9.7" because I'm new I can't post a link but search eBay for X-Line Shape Soft TPU Rubber Gel Case Cover For Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0"/9.7" the seller is hksanho I highly recommend it as it fits perfectly, is extremely well made (actually I'm shocked at how perfect the molding is) gives grip and is not sticky. I have a Gold Tab S2 and I bought the grey, it perfectly compliments it, further giving it the titanium look. Best of all it took only 6 days from time of order to delivery in Phoenix. I've only bought one or two things from directly from China and was extremely reticent to buy something I couldn't see or feel and not knowing if I'd ever actually get it in my lifetime LOL. Hopefully my post will help others and obviously I have no connection to the seller!
I agree
I purchased one of these cases for my Sony Z4 tablet quite a while ago; and it has been Fantastic! Super thin and fits Perfectly! I just bought one for my S2.
Thanks for finding the case. I was just trying to find out if the case was available for the Samsung - Really, I was!
Seems like the screen is the most vulnerable part. How does this kind of cover help?

After holding the tablet for a longer period of time i found the edges too hard. Based on your experiences would this cover solve this for me? Also if it would make the back of it a little less slippery that would be a bonus
yes -solves also these issues. thanxx for the tip, i ordered a black one these days. very pleased. feels like the light tablet in hands and covers perfectly my external charging pad, which allows wireless charging. very, very cool. for "expeditions" outside the house, i put the whole thing inside a book cover for protection, but at home the "minicase" is fine.

That's what tempered glass screen protectors are for, aren't they?
Also looking for the decent case with cover made by tpu or something. In germany there just a few available from which I already tried one but that one was not fitting well. Any tipps?
..this thread is about case "with out" cover ? - i bought my "x-line" at amazon.de, fittin' perfect..
