Hi All, Thank You for such an informative and helpful forum.
Does anyone know if there is a case available for the Ameo that incorporates a belt clip?
Many Thanks
Tim
I think you won't put that device unto your belt. Coz it will heavy and to big
I would rather have it on a belt clip than get it squashed in my pocket
Check out the PDAir case, I've seen it on ebay. It has a belt clip.
But I think it has no belt clip
You can see the case on: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000092&products_id=5551
Both these ebay auctions for the PDair case mention a removable belt clip.

Maybe am getting blind because I did not see mention of BELT CLIP
Now I'm confused... Are you saying you STILL can't see any mention of a belt clip?
Thanks Pantaloonie, the second link clearly states 360 belt clip.
Cheers Tim

Me too. The Ameo is costing me a fortune... 4gb Mini SD, leather case, spare battery, 4 in 1 USB cable.... and the docking cradle will be £70 when Expansys get them in stock.
Sigh.
Well the PDair case arrived, it smells lovely, but no belt clip

I wish I could. I've been looking, but they just don't seem to exist, yet. I do hope when one is made, it is made WELL, because I sure would hate for it to fall off of me, which I've had happen with previous phones from time to time. If I find something, Ill definetaly post it here.
I been searching for a belt pouch for my new toy like all you guys, going through all the IT mails, phone accessories shop, shopping mail, backpacks, shoulder bags, sling bags, waist pouch etc and NO luck.
Been trying, taking in & out my phone, and ..... XXXX I droped it on the floor, not too high, but got 2 very small dents by the both sides ....
Finally found this camera shop that carries Lowepro brand, and got lots of camera bag/pouch that able to fit, went throught lots, minus out the zipper kind(hard to access & might scratch the unit), minus out hoz design (too wide), minus out colorful one (not professional look), minus out those bulky one, shortlisted 2 model that fit Dopod U1000 well (top load vertical design), velcro flap, both black and professional enough to wear with pants (i think ?)
U1000 size, 9.5 x 2.2 x 13.4 cm
D-Pods 50, size (Interior): 8.5 x 5.5 x 14 cm, stretch fabric, snug fit, hard to take out as the width is a bit tight (stretched), I like this coz the material (got protection), http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Camera_Pou.../D-Pods_50.aspx
SlipLock™ Pouch 20, size (Interior): 9 x 4.5 x 14 cm, this fit nicely, easy to take out, but less protection, http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Accessorie...M_Pouch_20.aspx
Both of them got space to put your BT or wallet, but the SlipLock™ Pouch 20 is thiner, so finally bought the SlipLock™ Pouch 20, retails S$30, but can get cheaper.
Cheapest holder for Dopod U1000
I have found the cheapest holder to hold/carry the Dopod U1000. Went to a seminar recently, and as usual, they will give out badges & landyard for the registered guest.
Guess what, it fit the Dopod tightly and nicely, can even click on the screen with the plastic cover.
You can find such landyard with holder in most stationery shop

I had a look at this one but I don't think it has a belt loop??
Can you confirm that it has?
Thanks
Tim
Yes, it have a belt loop with double velcro. I paid only USD$10
I use an original case for the T-Mobile 6315. It's old PDA that I used to have.
Similar cases for the 6315 fit the HTC Advantage
http://www.gomadic.com/t-mobile-ipaq-h6315-h-6315-case-leather-belt-loop-swivel-clip-holder-k.html
You might search for Ipaq 6315 cases
Thank You Both for your help.... The Ipaq case is exactly what I'm looking for...can you please confirm that the Advantage fits correctly/neatly into it?
Thanks
Tim
I got this at SF Planet for $13+shipping. It is well-made. The Athena is a snug fit width-wise but the sides are elastic. The case looks very professional and like it is made for the Athena. My only complaints are it could be a little wider and I would prefer a magnetic closure instead of Velcro.
Here are some pics:

So you have to remove from the case to use?

Yes, unless you have x-ray vision
I wish someone would make a belt clip case with holes for the screen and buttons so we could use the Athena without taking it out. The screen could face outward (away from the body) and be protected with a flip cover.
I filled out the form on Vaja's web site with this suggestion. They should make an Athena case which has a flip cover like their iPhone cases.
I carry my device bare without keyboard, and this looks like an excellent design. The price looks good too.
It looks just a little little too tight. Is it easy to put the unit in and out? I also prefer to leave the pouch hanging on my waist while the unit is removed for use. The current design seems to be such that the whole pouch with the device comes off the waist.
Is there any option to leave the secured on the waist when the device is removed? I think it is a hassle, not knowing what to do and where to place the empty pouch when the device is being used.
Search ebay for "HTC X7500 leather" and/or "HTC X7501 Leather".
There's plenty of great cases.
looks nice, but no belt clip:
http://cgi.ebay.com/FITFOR-HTC-ADVA...ryZ15036QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
This one has belt clip:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Genuine-Lea...ryZ15036QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Many people here have had experience with the 2nd case you list. The clip breaks in 1-2 days, and on mine the post (that the clip attaches to) came unglued on the 3rd day. If I hadn't noticed it before I wore it again, the whole thing would have dropped to the ground as the clip & post stayed on my belt. Mine went right in the trash because trying to get a refund would have eaten up the refund since they require that you send the case back. If I got a replacement case I would have immediately sold it (not trusting to use it anymore), costing money to list it and I probably would have had to undercut the other cases listed to ensure a sale, costing money again...
Do not buy it! Many others here will agree. You'll save money by buying a decent (but more expensive) case first, that will last you for years. Forget about the cheap ebay cases.
How do you guys keep the buttons from getting pressed in the tight cases?
I have the screen/lock on but after a call somes in the buttons still get pressed.
any ideas?

The case could be a little wider but it is elastic on the sides and expands to fit. I put my X7501 in one corner first (slightly diagonally) and push it to one side to get the other corner started. Once both corners are in it is not difficult to push all the way in. There is plenty of room to grasp the top corners of the unit to pull it out.
The pouch stays on my waist (attached to belt) when I am using the unit. I have to squeeze the belt clip to take the pouch off clip and all or push down on the release button on the clip to take the pouch off but leave the clip on my belt.
This is not a "quick draw" case. One does have to be deliberate putting the Athena in. Taking it out is easier, especially when the case stays on the belt.
Also, the corners of the Athena are not protected if the case is dropped with the Athena inside. I look at this case as a good balance between cost and functionality. My quest for the "perfect" case continues...
Yes, indeed there is no pouch that meets my requirements yet.
Another of my requirement is that when I sir down with the pouch on my front hip, it should not cause discomfort to my body. This means it can't be made of hard leather, and the belt loop should be made of elastic material.
Got it.
Pro:
- excellent quality;
- fits the Athena almost to the millimeter;
- holds miniSD cards quite nicely;
- belt-clip much better, IMHO, than previous "rotary" ones. Besides, it can be removed without having the pod-thing it attaches to sticking out and taking up room for nothing.
Cons:
- big and bulky;
- has to be "worked" a bit to close once the Athena's inside. Now ok but after about two-weeks of "massaging";
All in all a great "long-trip" type case IMHO, but no good for day to day use, especially if you don't care about the keyboard all that much.
Krusell 75134 not available any longer?
Toyfreak,
Thanks for posting. I like the case, but the problem is that Krusell does not make it any longer. Even their web site does not list the 75134 model. Do you remember for what device it was originally listed. Like IPAQ model XX or so? Then I could try to find a similar Krusell model. I like the tight fit. Searched a lot and even went to a couple stores, I find them all too bulky.
Thanks a lot.

Krusell discontinued the 75134 a long time ago but SF Planet had some left when I bought mine. Try the link in post #1 of this thread and see if they still have them.
EDIT: I just tried the link and the page is gone... I'm still looking for the perfect case and I will share any finds I make. It might be worth a call anyway.
toyfreak,
Thanks for checking. SFplanet did not have it any longer on their web but I will give them a call to find out what other case might have a similar size. Would it be too much to ask if you can take the inside measurements of the case and post it?
Thanks

Apx. 130x88x28mm inside but the elastic on the sides allows it to expand to fit the width of the Athena (see pictures in first post)
toyfreak,
Thank you very much. With the measurements I can continue my hunt. I will post any findings under Athena accessories.
You need search no farther than http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=351
This is the only case I know of designed for the Advantage that has a secure belt clip. There is another case available there, Series 270, that is slightly smaller to hold the device without the HTC case on it.
As far as I am concerned, there is nothing else available to match it.

This doesn't look near as nice as the Nutshell case(if you're not familair, read in this forum, there's a thread somewhere with links). The clip on the nutshell case is pretty much immune to wearing out. Downside is it can cost from $60 to over $100 and can take up to 2 weeks to ship. Worth every penny and minute in my book.

Just wondering if anyone's tried this case. It would be nice to know about the quality and fitting. I'm also very curious if that belt clip will last.
Thanks in advance!

hello,
I've not tried this case but I've had several with the plastic belt clip
and if you have a job that involves sitting a lot they can be fragile,
or if you do lots of manual work. I find the sewn belt loops flatter
and stronger. the krussel case is hard to beat
jay
Never used it, but i'm certain you'll soon be disappointed if you buy that case. IMO, a good case is an absolute must. You don't want your Athena falling off your hip when getting out of the car do you? This always happened with my old axim case with a plastic clip. Nutshell guarantees their case, including the steel clip or leather loop (whichever you get), for two years. Expensive though, but worth every penny to protect my athena.

Actually, It'll probably end up in my pocket. I like those cases where you don't have to take them off to use the phone. That's why I was eyeballing this one.

Just watch the screen. I once put my universal in a case in my trousers pocket, you guessed it the screen cracked! cost £100 to fix it. lord knows how much the athena's screen would cost, more than the machine is worth I guess.
I have one, the 2nd week the belt clip brike getting in the car. Not to mention the phone slipped right out from it twice, with my foot action as a cushion (broke a piece of th tab on the battery door) and the 2nd time was last week at the gas station. The cases are designed with crappy materials but with a bit of mod I saved mine from going into the garbage. I had to cut the back open and put a piece of plastic in it for more support against it flopping. I used a hot air gun to soften the side holders and bend them in slightly for a more snugged fit. At the end of all that the next morning I broke the plastic tab on the case going into the car. Now I still have the case using but only because I've not finished mounting the belt clip on the OEM case as yet, as i've already already cut a caller display into the case and used that strip to make a leather flap to close it. Once I find a steardy belt clip I will post pictures of the mod. If I can't find one strong enough that will not break I will go for a standard clip mounted back and stitched on for a better look.
Back to this clip, I would recommend getting it if you can do a little bit of mod on your own, but BE WARNED if you don't mod the rails on it, your liable to damage your device, when (i said when, because eventually it will) slide out.
See what I said about that ebay case, and what you should buy instead on my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344605
Bottom line, run FAR, far away from that ebay case.
Tuff-as-Nuts now has an option to get a slightly larger Athena case that will accomodate the Athena+case (thanks to my having one special ordered one). You can now have it either way.

Ebay Trash
I had the ebay case for one week before the clip broke. It is made of the cheapest, thinnest plastic I have ever seen. I have a Verizon phone from my employer that came with a clip similar to this one. Even though the Verizon phone is about 80% lighter than the Advantage, the clip that came with it has plastic three times thicker. After the Ebay clip broke, I started using the case with my Verizon clip. It took another week for the post on the case to break.
It is amazing how shoddy this design is. If you can get it on ebay for $3 (including shipping) I would get it, but only to use as a case. It will not survive on your belt.

I bought this case recently (based on the similar device dimensions) and was quite pleased with it. I need a belt clip so I can always have both hands free. It adds a bit of bulk to the device but feels quite secure on the belt. I thought the case would be a tight-fit but the athena (+ keybd) feels just slightly loose in it which is good. I just push the edges upwards to eject. Worth the price I think.

Post 12 from wajiguqu0223 reported. Completely meaningless in the context of this entire board, and my guess is its a precursor to some major spam campaign.
edit: old post 12 has been deleted. Good. (which now makes this post 12, lol)
I've searched but I couldn't seem to find a thread, I'm wondering what cases do all you guys have? I just got the hero and I want to protect it, especially the screen. So who has what and who likes what?
Here is some good reviews of the most popular cases.
http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/49725-bodyglove-vs-otterbox-vs-seido-innocase.html
I use the bodyglove case. I like the way it looks and feels, but do have 2 complaints:
1. When typing in portrait mode, it is hard for my to hit the keys at the edges of the screen (so i normally type in landscape mode, lol!)
2. If you DO happen to drop your phone, sometimes this case pops open. That being said, I've not had my phone damaged when this has happened, but you still should be aware.
I plan on trying the otterbox myself, just to see if it is better, but for the most part I am completely happy with the bodyglove.
I have thew rubber case they sell in the sprint store. i cut the edge's of on the screen part due to not being able to hit the edge of the screen like tejasrichard mentioned with his case
anybody try one of those TPU (thermo plastic) cases they are like silicone ones but i guess way more sturdy and repel dust im interested only one place has em for our heros so im assuming they are pretty new to the market
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030C4IXK/ref=oss_product
A little pricey for a case but I love it. Great fit and function. Fits perfectly, no complaints.

A buddy of mine has one for his blackberry. I dont think he liked it.
I have the body glove case, and absolutely love it. i switched from the HTC silicon rubber case to it, and have not looked back. love the integrated belt clip. gives full body protection to the Hero, except it does not protect the screen from scratches... but you should have no worries there since it is glass. hth

Has anyone compared the otterbox impact and commuter series? Is the commuter series suppose to be more rugged? I can get the commuter series from newegg for the same price as the impact normally is. Reading their descriptions on the otterbox website aren't very helpful in differentiating the series. The commuter is a hard shell where the impact is a soft one right?
Seidio Innocase II combo. Absolutely love it. Adds almost no bulk to the phone at all.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hl3csr3hhrs-bk.htm
It comes in other colors too.
Otterbox
It's a little bulky, yeah, but it has a good feel to it. Also, Hero took a trip into the hot tub again (survived once with no case) with the Otterbox on and there was almost no water inside the battery area when I pulled it out. Phone still works!
i dont know if to get the outterbox one or the Seidio Innocase II combo
i have the body glove already but its too fat

I'm using a swiveling mount from Proclip.
The pricing is absurd, $45 just for the swivel part, you need to have a base mount to attach it to. I already had a custom base in my Honda S2000 I bought for my Garmin ($15) with the standard mounting holes. The Garmin is going to Ebay with these great new 2.1 ROMs and built in NAV.
The Proclip is well built, very functional and sturdy as hell. It works great vertically and horizontally. It DOES NOT work with a case on your Hero. I am using a no-name hard plastic clear case ($5 from the interwebs) that I snap on and off each time I get in my car.
The whole setup works so well that I am using Home++ so that I can utilize horizontal home screens while driving... Can't wait for Darch's stock build and I will switch to this.
Droid Live is my new car radio, tethered to a Sony deck with A2DP bluetooth.
Waterproof and Fully Functional Case!!!
I will be getting a new case in a couple of weeks that has yet to hit the market. It is 100% waterproof and very functional for those of you that are boaters, beach goers and pool sitters. See pic below. I will have them on eBay for $39.95 but for all of you here on XDA, it will be $30.00 + $3.00 shipping. I can invoice you via paypal or we can do the cashier check and mail thing. My eBay user name is "goulpher36" if you would like to check my feedback. You can reserve one if you send me an email and mention "XDA".
Opppsie! I read the rules after my post. Sorry...
I picked up a Streak in the recent sell off and am loving it - have upgraded to Streakdroid 2.3 (really easy with a bit of background reading even for someone coming to Android for the first time). I picked up the Otterbox commuter case but never really got on with it - I prefer leather flip cases so decided to look what was out there apart from the many derivations of the "PU leather" cases you can see on ebay.
Morpeth Mobiles are selling off their stock of PDair cases for the Streak at only £5 delivered (UK) rather than the usual £30+ that these seem to go for. I think the Tuff Luv case generally seems to get a better reception (and is a little cheaper at RRP) but I decided to try one of these for a fiver and am happy enough with it (its the flip style rather than the book style folio that I think PDair also do).
Anyway, if anyone wants to buy one you will have to google as I'm a new user and can't post outside links (before anyone asks, I have no relationship with Morpeth Mobiles whatsoever other than as a purchaser of this case). I don't know how many they have but they are still showing up at £5 this morning

No sell off of Dell Streaks in the UK, so i wonder about how genuine this post is, yes the cases are for sale for £5 and i ordered one, but, as i say, Streaks are still at a high price here in the UK
They did sell off the streaks.....
at the Dell Swarm site (at least twice!).
Other than than - thanks for making me feel welcome!

Welcome to the forums, you have been registered for 4 years, and posted 4 years later?
Nevermind, thanks for the heads up, i have bought one.
Not sure if it matters but in the interests of full disclosure, I had a Dell Axim PDA back in the day which I got rid of and then did not rediscover the forums until I got my streak.

Glad you can join us on the twilght of the Dell Streak. Shame the price was £199, its hardly the £75 they were selling them for in the states at the end of life. There again, Dell support is so crap, they would have to pay me to take a another piece of their kit on.
Its a great phone, but mine had a dead earpiece from new. Absolute rubbish, whatever happened to quality control.
You buy a nice shiny new phone, then they give you someone elses if it becomes faulty.

Review PDAir Flip Case
I ordered this case and it arrived today, so i will give it a quick review.
I have used a PDAir case before for my Sony-Ericsson P1i, but that time it was a aluminium case. The quality of this leather case is very nice, well stitched.
It has a magnetic catch that holds the flap securely closed, 3 pockets in the flap for credit cards, business cards or memory cards. There are cutouts for the PDMI port, power and camera buttons,
The top sides of the device are not protected so you have total access to volume buttons and headphone jack. The case fits tightly, i doubt you could fit the phone with a extended battery installed, might be possible but i doubt it. There are 5 holes punched in the back to allow sound out of the speaker and cut outs for the 3 capacitative buttons, microphone and screen, earpiece and front facing camera and sensor.
To use the main camera you have to pull the flap right back to allow it to be used.
There is no belt clip, so it will have to go in a pocket, or a bag.
Generally fits nice and keeps the phones slim profile, but apart from protecting the screen and back of the device, the sides are very exposed and personally i prefer my Otterbox Defender case, which although chunky provides my delicate streak allround protection apart from the screen, which is protected when in the holster if its put in with the screen facing inwards.
I have attached some photos for those considering this case
Overall, at £4.99 its a reasonable case but i will be sticking with my Otterbox.
The Streak can be bought from Morgan Computers for £199.95 sim free, as for the PDAir case it's great at a fiver (if it was in stock) but not worth the original £30~
Wish they still had these as looks nice but thanks for flagging it up for us maybe they'll get more
