Does anyone know of a supplier of IP65 rated cases (or something close to this), along the lines of the otterboxes http://www.otterbox.com/products/pda_cases/1900/ ?
There used to be a company that made clear perspex cases that I don't believe were rated to IP standards, but they looked quite nice. Can't find them anywhere on the net though, and cases purposly made for the Athena seem few and far on the ground.
TVM in advance!
Have you tried contacting OB, and seeing if they have a box that will fit the 7500? They prob. do...
dude, where do you work !! in a war zone ? don't forget that the athena can only take so much shock, although the case might be up to it you will have to pad it to protect the phone.
What an ugly case!
The ameo/athena still gets "ooooohs and aaaaahs" along with "is'nt it pretty, (pretty BIG), how do you answer it???" most times that people/nokia users see it.
OK, the ameo is'nt a beauty and its not small, why would you want to make it uglier and bigger?
maybe you have a job where it gets knocked around alot (like a night shift raiding villages in iraq under mortar fire - (well noticed ice-coffee)
however, i think i know why you need to protect your valuable piece of kit, and also why making it uglier/undesirable and bigger/impossible to lift and steal.................
Ive a feeling brummagum is not a real place??? however it is code for "i live in birmingham but i want out!!!!
I have seen many a nice phone stolen and many a person in birmingham robbed by demented hoodies that could spell "ppc"!
good thinking!!!! Now, how do i produce a 100000volt current that pulses across the metal housing of the ameo and frys any would be muggers
Did you look at Pelican? With some modifying something like this may work for you:
http://pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1060
You'll need to add some padding inside to keep the Athena form rattling around in there but you could utilize the extra space for accessories.
EDIT: This is IP67, not IP65 but, Christ, what are you going to do with it???

Yep, Birmingham, Twinned with downtown Baghdad.
To be fair, I think in my OP, I went a bit OTT with the description, and whilst it would be nice to have a device that can save me in the event of the common drive-bys that go down, it was more of a well padded crystal case, something along the lines of http://www.pdamods.com/proddetail.asp?prod=CRDLX50 that I was after.
Oh, if only I'd used the search...

That Pelican 1060 case I linked to above also has a foam insert in the "Accessories" section.
Hello friends!
This is one of my very few posts. It's not that i am shy, it's just that the people here are so good in what they do - i end up having all of my questions answered before i even get a chance to ask them.
Well now i think there is one i can still ask.
I need a nice case for my Leo. The one they give you just offers no real protection and i can't attach it to my belt (which i really like). So i am curious if someone can sudjest one which doesn't cost more than 30€.
Thank you all in advance!
case
what about this one
pm me
try the Krusell one - they are always quality and last well I have been using them for ~8 years. http://krusell.se/nav/searchResults/?searchString=HTC+HD2

Thanks guys you were really helpful!
I use the one that came with the tmo us hd2.
A word of warning about this Krusell case.
Just had one of these delivered today and will be sending it straight back! very nicely made with some good design features BUT I can't use my phone properly. There is a leather strip at the top of the screen that makes it impossible to use the top task bar features, even with my little finger.

Do you have the TMO US version? Your phone is larger than the spec for this case, so it won't fit properly. I've run into the same problem with my UK Tuff Luv case (QUITE a nice case, as well! Shame!). I'm afraid the premium cases will have to be re-sorted for the HD2-US versions, and, until then, we're pretty much stuck with gel-skins
So I've decided to make one thread for All HD2 Accessories.
The idea is for users to list or suggest some of the best accessories you've owned and used during your time with your HTC and give a brief recommendation.
Car chargers, cases, screen protectors etc.
If an existing thread of this nature already exists - I apologize, my intention was not to create another needless one.
Please just simply re-direct me to it by the link of the preexisting one and close off this one - No hard feelings...
I think it's a better idea for a thread than the stickied film protector that sucks.
Anyway, my recommendation is the Otterbox Defender Case

Same. I'm pretty tall so the size doesn't bother me at all. If I were tiny then I could imagine the extra weight might be annoying, but I enjoy having the ability to clip it quickly to the holster. I'm also now really fast at removing it from the case in order to get to the microSD card to load up android builds directly to the card.
PS3 Controller, better and cheaper then most bluetooth pads.
In car holder, I use a cheap chinese one works fine.
THB bury bluetooth connection / HUD, good in car, read your messages/call lists/make calls/contacts ect.
here is my suggestion...
I got the first Hard Gel-case that was available and did not quite like it because it was not really perfect fit. Than at one occasion I've read I think here at XDA a post that was pointing towards this case (pics attached along with ebay item number) that was really good good fit for tmobile US HD2s ... and - ordered, and have it since... the best fit so far and serves me well.
ebay item number is: 330485183615
Hi,
Would you kind forumers give me some good suggestions on possible physical keyboard accessories that fits the HTC HD2 on an Android ROM?
I have been looking at a few and am still looking. I bought an old Freedom Pro Keyboard and found it a bit unstable to use (keys not registering certain presses). So please recommend what you are using if possible. Thank you!
My phone never leaves it's £3.99 Wallet home!
I'm already on my second one (I decided to replace it after six months as it was getting tatty, and at this price I can't complain). What's great is that it serves my need as a wallet, keeps all my valuables together, adds little bulk to the device (in the sense that it's also your wallet ), and my phone looks as good as new despite my occasional clumsy droppage. Definitely a must-have for me.
While on eBay I just saw a smarter one for £9,99 which I'm a little tempted by...
My DREAM accessory would be a genuine, larger-capacity, same physical-size battery, ah but we can only dream...
So after watching a couple reviews, I'm liking the otterbox defender case and I'm giving it some consideration... Just thought I drop a line, see if any feedback is given on this (positive or negative)
1. mugen 2600 mAh extended battery (must have...GET ONE !!!)
2. skull candy ear buds nice and loud for 13 bucks on sale!
3. 2 16gb's + 1 8gb for music
4. zagg screen protector
5. when not using the extended battery i use a thin rubberized 1 piece hard case mine is actually navy blue not black
Otterbox Defender..a must have for my work. very tough but makes the screen a little less sensitive, a small price to pay for good protection, i wish it was a little more dust and waterproof though.
HTC Oem flip case simple, cheap and works well
Desk Genie Non-Slip Charging Desk Stand..brilliant love this stand, again cheap but works well, bought this for my TP2 and still using it
Vikuiti (TM) DQC-160 best screen protector ive ever used, easy to install, would buy another if ever i needed to but 6 months and so far i dont!
Andida "1600" battery, so cheap i dont care if its 1200, good enough for a spare.
Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headphones...Old school but work flawlessly
IO Play bluetooth music streaming car kit...got mine for £60, pairs first time evertime, good voice quality and full A2DP, which is more than ive heard said for more expensive alternatives of the feathery kind!
HTC Car holder i got free with my TP2..tight but just fits
If i didnt really need to use the Defender everyday, I would have bought and extended battery, probably the offical one, but hey...
I'm looking for a soft rubber case like the case I have for my i900 Omnia.
I've just ordered an HD2 and I find this sort of case is ideal for satnav because I change cars a lot and I can plug the charger in and the phone lies flat on top of the dash without sliding off.
I haven't got the time or space to carry a proper cradle, but this works just fine.
It's made of soft, stretchy rubber a bit like the inner tube out of a tyre, with some texturing on the back which helps it grip - does anyone know what I am trying to describe?
my pocket.
^ What he said + Vikuiti (TM) screen protector.
I know I'm going to regret asking this but who or what is "my pocket" apart from the bleeding obvious?
Music Bluetooth headset
My recommendation is Bluetooth music headset ''MW600'' from Sony ericsson.
Its also been called or well it is a officially accesiore for the Sony ericsson Aino.
Cant remember and find the exact typenumber that the MW600 have for the Aino, so its has 2 type numbers.
PS3 controller

You can use the PS3 controller with HD2? Is it possible to use another bluetooth/wireless controllers on this device?
I'd be glad if anyone could tell me.

1. OtterBox Defender (built in screen protector removed as below far better) £30
2. Vikuiti™ screen protector ADQC27 (Same as DQC160, but now anti-reflective too) £10
3. A couple of cheap spare batteries (never had problems with them myself) £3ea
4. Mains USB/Battery charger (replaces the HTC one and adds spare battery charging functionality) £3
5. Retractable Mini-USB cable (great for travelling when combined with above) £2
6. Komputerbay MicroSDHC 16GB Class 6 £30
7. PS3 Controller to work with FPSECE (PS1 Emulator) via CobaltContoller £30
£115 of accessories... blimey... it adds up!
Hi all, I know both of these cases have been around this forum at some point, but I don't want to bring up a dead thread.
I'm just curious to owners that have either of these cases:
http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-nexus/
And:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251139617...:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_11985wt_1037
I just want to know, is the eBay case good quality etc, I've heard good things about it.
Or is it worth the extra spend, and go all in for a portenzo case?
I love the portenzo cases especially how you can design it to represent you, but spending that much on a case is something I have never done. Is the build quality etc really that much better to warrant spending over 40$ on the portenzo?
The portenzo comes to 43+$ for me as the shipping is quite expensive due to me being in the UK.
THANKS IN ADVANCED !
I was happier with my $7 Amazon case then my $50 Portenzo case, so I would say its not worth the extra $$$
I've just taken delivery this morning of the case you've linked too on eBay from seller wedo-bestdeal.
Ordered Tuesday afternoon, came this morning. So good service.
As for the case, I'm happy with it!
It doesn't add too much more bulk to the tablet, folding the cover back turns the device on, as expected, and folding it right behind it, like you'd hold it whilst using it wth two hands, doesn't cause the tablet to sleep. I've read on a few posts that the magnets in some cases can be too strong and cause it to sleep by doing that.
I've folded the case to stand the tablet up, and to just have it at a gentle slope, both works well. It will jsut take a little time for the cover to be less stiff.
my only moan is that the case over laps, and curls underneath adding a little unavoidable bulk to it, but it's not much, and after playing with it, I can live without without a problem!
Get one, for £10, what's the worst that can happen?
I have that eBay case and it's just fine, it gives good protection and is hopefully hard wearing. I also have another case that I think is much nicer looking but isn't holding up living in my pocket all day.
Can't speak for the Portenzo from experience but from looking at it, it doesn't protect the N7 round the edges at all, that may not be a problem for you but it is for me.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008GSMRAY/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics
anyone tried this one,well ive just ordered this one,will give a review once it arrives,probably monday
Cheers peeps, I'll buy the eBay one then.
Was just wondering whether the price difference offered much more protection etc.
But by the sounds of it the 10£ one from eBay is sufficient, plus it does look nice although the portenzo is BEAUTIFUL !
The ebay case is really good, you can't go wrong for that money.

I guess this is a unanimous decision, the eBay case is the winner.
Probably purchase later today, tomorow or next week. As I tend to put things off, as I only bought a case last week for it, BUT I HATE IT.
They sent me wrong colour, the case was different than in picture, the stitching was all over the place, the material was coming off etc etc.
But thats a different rant altogether, thanks for the answers people !

i went for the amazon one,if its crap it will be going back
Hey Guys.
I've just received my Swees Case for Nexus 7 and wanted to share my impression about it.
First of all, i couldn't find it on the American Amazon website. So after the review, if anyone in the America is still interested, you might need to look for yourself.
So here we go.
Similar to many products for the Nexus 7, it this case has tried to imitate the Smart-Cover look. That's fine.
So on the bottom, this case is like a hard-case protecting the Nexus from Scratches, Bumps, etc. quite well. There's a gap between speakers, and all Buttons and Microphone, so you get no disturbance using the Nexus with the Case. At the front, there's this Leather-Like material covering the Screen.
The cover can be used as a stand. Application is very easy, every child can do it and your Nexus will stand on table-tops or even your couch. It's quite stable I'd say, at least from my testing on even softer surfaces, it still stood like a rock.
At the end of the covering, there is some magnet build inside, so the cover will fix itself to be closed at times. It's not the strongest magnet though, but for transporting and carriage it's quite alright. The cover will also trigger sleep / awake mode when opened or closed.
For this unbelievable price it's quite a good deal if you ask me. Many covers I've seen in stores were priced 3x as much, but didn't show the quality. Anyhow. I can recommend it :
UK* : http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=swees+nexus+7
* I got the black one, but i guess other colors are quite nice. 7,99 Pounds ( Don't know if they charge shipping in the UK ) is quite a deal.
DE : http://www.amazon.de/Swees-Schutzhü...K0ME/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351992143&sr=8-1
This is exactly where i ordered from. ( all for 12,99€ )
http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_ss...wees+nexus+7&sprefix=swees+%2Celectronics%2C0
Again for DE - diffrent colors are available.
At least for the german amazon, they even give an additional Pen & Screen Protector. Compared to Samsungs "S-Pen" this pen is quite better build wise. I wouldn't recommend using it for drawing professionally. For notes quite alright.
Can't really say much about the screen protector, I don't usually use one and probably won't use it.
At last : 2 pictures showing the Stand function and overall look of the case.
I am open for any question regarding this product. I am not affiliated with this product or company in any way, I just want to help our users to fight an excellent case which is affordable.
( Btw. I had a long way finding this case. There are 100s of cases to be found on amazon and i read through a lot of feedback from each of them. From the cheaper cases, you can expect poor quality, chemical smell as well as rash on skin, and many other things. Therefor i am very pleased with what I've got my hands onto. )
Thanks for the review, but this is the common 'eBay case,' there's a 140-reply thread about it already. Can be had for about $10USD with free shipping.
