Anyone know of a case that doesn't hold the keyboard? And, hence no magnets? Just want to carry the main device by itself in the smallest possible volume.
Thanks,
Krip
i search for something similar (didn't wanna start a new thread).
i'm looking for a case that can hold the device itself and the keyboard in two different pockets within the same case (can be a totalyl closed case, where you have to pull out the athena like the universal pda case from pielframa, but with two pockets). plus it has to have a very solid belt clip and should be as small as possible.
Skins or case just for the screen
Well im looking for a Skin similar to whats available for Ipods and various other phones out there.
Just want it for the Screen and not the keyboard. So at least the screens protected whilst in my pocket.
Any help would be appreciated as this is the only niggle i have at the moment!
Cheers

If I understand you right tomchap, I'm looking for the same thing...a silicon skin for the main unit (preferably with a hard clear plastic cover for the screen). That would make the Athena slim enough to fit in most of my pockets and stop and serious scratches or damage to the device.
Have been looking too....something like this but in better quality in various colours.

Thats the one, Skins type case
Yep thats def what im looking for, like these
http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11609075/Gen_Skin_Case_For_Apple_Ipod_NANO.jpg
A clear see through plastic cover / skin would be ideal.
Ive looked everywhere, even the usually most reliable eBay and theres hardly anything available for the Ameo.
Loads of screen protectors but thats about it.
You would think someone out there would make one?
Rucksack case for Athena without keyboard
Am also looking for a case, but a reasonably weatherproof one that I can attach to my rucksack shoulder strap to hold the Athena when I am outdoors using it for digital mapping. I have the perfect one for my Hermes but am going to test the Athena to try the larger screen.

Stumbled across this...
http://www.pielframa.net/prodi.asp?id=722
The DIMENSIONS (Height x Width x Thickness): 178x115x20 mm are right for Ameo that is 133.5x98x16 mm

Both excellent suggestions, thanks very much. I ended up with the Pouch 20 because I like the fit better and it is thinner, therefore easier to carry on my rucksack. Took it out for a test ride yesterday. Both case and Athena digital mapping worked great.

Can you post some pictures ?
case 20 link
If its the case I've got then the 'pouch 20' is an all in one case designed for digital cameras and similar size units. I bought mine online from jessops here in the United Kingdom.
If I am wrong and this is NOT the case 20 talked about then forgive & sorry.
jessops case 20 page can be found here
My pda is NOT a u1000 but similar. Just stumbled on this thread. This pouch 20 is smaller than u1000 so Ive just been told so sorry for the error.Must be a different one.

How did you managed to put the U1000 inside ?
U1000 size, 9.5 x 2.2 x 13.4 cm
Rezo 20 size, 7.5 x 3 x 10.5 cm
BTW, i saw something similar, but since it is 'zipper', it is quite hard to take out/in without scratching the unit.
Found -HERE - a silicone skin case for the HTC Athena (Dopod U1000, HTC X7500, etc) comming soon.....

Nice! Thanks for the post. I can't wait to see if it will be designed to allow you to continue to connect the keyboard to it. An option of sorts. The only negative I can think of is that it'll stick to your pocket when you try to put it in there and take it out. Same thing happens to my iAudio MP3 player with its silicone case. Maybe they'll have a belt clip for it!!!

Anyone tried a Lowepro D-Res case for size?
If so, which one fits best?

Here is the one I meant, same as the one in the link above from Johnnykok:
http://www.jessops.com/Products/ProductDetail.aspx?SkuId=22844
I have now found the Lowepro MX 20 case to be the best solution for hooking to a rucksack while riding (see http://www.parkcameras.com/ProductD...roogle/productID/827/groupID/5/categoryID/20) and available in many shops on Tottenham Court Rd. I have added some waterproofing but not yet tested it in very wet weather since the weather has been pretty good these past weeks. I used the Pouch 20 in serious wet weather without waterproofing and found that it did not stay dry inside. I have decided that in very wet weather I will transfer the Athena to a small WXtex waterproof bag I found in an outdoor store.
So did anyone locate some sort of casing just for the device.Out of curiousity
Case For Just Your Unit
Although i am and have made a change for a new mobile(I still have 1 more X7501 that im keeping)I stumbled across this that i thought i would share with the community:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/dlcase/htc-x7500-designio-leather-case_2722.htm
Carry just your unit and not the keyboard whilst you are out doing business!
Hope this helps those whom are looking for a case to take with them when they are doing business.

Thanks for letting us all know.
My only concerns are that the http://www.bluetrade.eu/index.php?page=product&id=8720 case found here will do exactly as the free case does, scratch the inside of the screen, and also ensure that all the letters wear off as there is no protection from the keyboard.
the great diffence is that
you can see the external screen when closed
and !!!
there is a belt clip !!!
The one from Case Logic seems promising but I don't think it will fit:
X7500 dimensions (mm): 133,5 x 98 x 16 (or x 20 with keyboard on)
Case interior dimensions: 138,2 x 82,6 x 25,4
Please report when you receive it and post pictures if you can.
Regards,
S.

Let us know once you get the case with the belt clip. I want one like that.
This one will work, and has a velcro belt loop:

I like the looks of the bluetrade.eu one. Cant wait for a mini review. How exactly will the x7500 fit on the belt for daily use.... Will it make you limp?
Looks to be about $49 USD for it after all shipping and paypal tax. The shipping to the US is more than the case costs
Looks to be about the same design as the Piel Frama and about half the price for people in the US. We will see what the quality is when someone gets one.

Thanks looks good indeed.. I did order one asw ell yesterday evening, let's see, they states it will take at least 10 days to deliver...
Hi,
I like the bluetrade one BUT ... I don't think the display will work proparly because the keyboard will a little bit separated from the Athena so the magnet will not recognized the keyboard is there (as it happens with the case it comes with the Athena). This is due to the smalls grips to hold the Athena.
4 weeks ago, I found this camera bag that fits to my Athena.
The brand name is TUCANO (www.tucano.it).
When I'm wearing a suit I use to carry the Athena in my jacket pocket without any kind of case.
But the rest of the time I use to carry a small backpack. For that reason, I was looking for a case which it could be complitely closed.
As I said, the one I'm using is from Tucano and is a camerga bad. There are several sizes. My one is 'Medium'.
I hope this would help anyone.
I will add some pictures so I'm sure you will have a better idea.
Best regards,
Alberto

X7500 gets in with dificulty but it gets
X7500 dimensions (mm): 133,5 x 98 x 16 (or x 20 with keyboard on)
Case interior dimensions: 138,2 x 82,6 x 25,4
there 's 1,5 cm left
so it's get in but it is too stretch and it is hard to get in and get then out
I'm trying to stretch it with something biger but after 24 hours still the same
it depends on the using of each one but for me for a constant use every day it s not usefull at hall

I also saw this one today.
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=759&t_mode=des
It's under the HTC X7500 category on their website so I'm hoping it fits. Aesthetically, it does not really tick any of my boxes but I've actually ordered one to try out until I get the case I really like.
can I suggest you dont carry your credit card in there as in the photo.
the magnets will do magical and mystical things.

Ii think this is even better as it protects the screen edges from the keyboard!

It does look better but personally, I do need a belt-clip/attachment option for carrying it about.
belt clip
I says it comes with one!
you can also use the aircompact casing for a nintendo DS. it fits perfectly with side pockets and extra flap in the middle to protect your lcd and the keyboard from rubbing against each other

And protects the keyboard from any attempt to type on it.
It's not a BAD case; some aspects are well thought out, but it has NO belt clip option, and the keyboard is covered with a plastic sheet that warps and isn't quite flexible enough - even when new, before it had warped so much the ZXC row of keys was utterly unusable, pressing E or R would often send a half-finished reply to an SMS as it activated the soft key as well.
After a month of ownership the plastic was so bad, I traced the edges of the keyboard and cut a section out, leaving only the top row of keys covered and an edge around to hold the keyboard down.
Oh, didnt realise it had a crappy plastic cover over the keyboard! I assumed it had a magnet on the back like the original case... damn.
Hi ,
i'm looking for a nice case for my kaiser. i just want it to be thin and that it saves my kaiser from dust e.g. , but i dont want a case which i have to open first. i want to work with it but i want it save too.
i have thought of a sock , i can get it off fast and it safes the kaiser very good.
i looked around on ebay for some leather cases but i dont like them. i have seen some silicon case but that just fits to the buttom of the kaiser and not the front.
anyone got an idea which sock fits to the kaiser? i couldnt find one made for the kaiser so we need a fitting one which was made for a handy that has nearly same size.
thanks in advance

I have an original Tytn II htc case which is supplied with the device and am wondering if it will fit the Diamond 2
Hi
It does fit however the phone is lose in the case as it is much thinner than the Tytn II. It is is possible to use the velcro strap to make it a bit tighter by strapping it tighter. It's okay to use as stop gap. As it moves around in the case it might cause some wear to the phone over time, for example constant movement when in car etc and the phone moves in the case.
I suspect the case will be almost perfect if you had a double capacity battery which uses a thicker battery cover.
This pouch is perfect for Diamond 2 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330330079074
Regards
Phil
I think my pouch is designed for the Samsung Tocco. Bought it on the market n thoroughly annoyed the stall holder testing them all.
Perfect fit for me tbh.
Using the TytnII case for a while now. Before with just the phone With some carfull closing of the velcro I wa'n't worried about a loose fitt. Now I use it with my sillicone case around it. This way I can toss it in my bag without any worry at all
I think I could even trow it true a window wihout damage now
btw.. wrong subforum?
Hey I have been looking for a decent stylus for the HD2 and heard that the Pogo and Dagi Stylus are basically rubbish. I came across the Pivot Iphone Stylus but can't find anywhere that sells it except from here:
http://hk.f2.page.auctions.yahoo.com/hk/auction/b14671270
The only seller seems to be on:
www.shop1609.com (search fro pivot stylus)
Anyways as you can see the site is in chinese as its being sold in the Hong Kong. Is anyone fluent enough in chinese and willing to buy one and try it out? It looks like it has a more traditional spiked tip rather than the ball or flat end of the Pogo/Dagi attempts.
PLEASE for the love of all things good, keep us posted if this stylus works for the HD2 or not. I am in desperate need of a stylus.
I am having a hell of a time getting my fat fingers to work the dif on screne input buttons, and texting. I bought the pogo stylus off of Ebay. But I am seeing reports that is does not work like the vid on youtube shows.
Thank you

I agree. This could be great if it actually works.
Tried a stylus with the same head.
The part you use is the black pad at the bottom of the pen, and the pad must be flat against HD2 screen. This means stylus is held a 90 degree angle.
It will not work on edge of pad.
You must press hard to get a solid line with these.
Better result with finger.
Do not waste your money.
This is the one I purchased for my HD2 and it works perfectly. It has a good solid rubber end angled at about 45% and shrinks down to less than 2 inch when not in use. I have attached it to my leather case with a quick release clip rather than use the earphone plug, so it is not hanging down when I am on a call.
