Case for Unit without Keyboard

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

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_Pouches/designed_digital/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/Accessories/sliplock_cases/SlipLockTM_Pouch_20.aspx

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!!!

Pouch Bag
Some of these look interesting

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.

Sports armband?

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has one, or has seen one, that will accomodate the HD2? Should be collecting my HD2 within next couple of hours and would love to fire up run.gps for a test this evening...

I use the Run.gps branded armband. It's really designed for the HD but works okay with the HD2
the hardware buttons do get covered by the case, but I don't tend to use anything other than the power button when I'm out and that's easy to press.
also the cutout for the headphones is in the wrong place. If you decide to use a corded headphone, then you would need to cut a small hole in the neoprene.
other than that it's great

little bit off, ...
nice to see some run.gps users ou here.
does the run.gps work well with the 800*480?
thanks!

Yes, there is an armband for the HD2 Leo :
Hello Leo users,
I have searched the internet, and up till now, dec 2009, there still isn't a running armband for the HD2. and i could not wait...
As mentioned above, RunGPS sell's an armband that all most fits. You can also buy it under the name - Tune belt / Tunebelt AB82 - it's fully Neoprene, and fits "like a glove" on your upper of lower arm. Thight, the HD2 will not slip out of it during running.
It fit's my HTC HD2 only after a little tweak : removing two sets of stiches at the bottum en re-sow the neoprene. that's it !.
Indeed the 4 standard buttons are hidden, but the Run GPS buttons and screen works verry well.

Merry Christmas to you all.

The Run.gps branded armband isn't the same as the Tunebelt one..
I tried the tunebelt one and preferred the run.gps branded version.
I don't think (despite the similar names) the branded one is made by tunebelt (but I could be wrong).
Tunebelt AB8
Run.gps ABX2
FWIW I don't think the branded one needs your stitch work, (but I may stitch the hole where the original headphone hole was)

Would something like this work or would it be a very tight fit?
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-ARMBAND-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories?hash=item4ceb7913ad
I'm thinking about getting one and reading the size differences between the 3gs and HD2; it could work but i don't know.

What about this http://cgi.ebay.com/A012-Armband-Ca...temQQimsxZ20091224?IMSfp=TL091224219003r36209 ?

And the verdict is.......
straight in the bin. doesn't fit and tbh i don't think you'd fit an iphone in it either.
you could probably mess about modding it to fit but it's fugly enough already

just so you guys know, i bought this and it fits the HD2 perfectly.
The seller was confident saying the HD2 would definitely not fit but i bought it anyways. It's made for the iPhone but the HD2 slides just fine with a bit of stretching and a new whole made for the headphone port.
It's extremely high quality too.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280395590555

i bought one of the above and it doesnt fit my hd2 !!!

the link i posted? You sure? It fits my HD2 so i don't know why you cant...

yep same link ! my hd2 is to wide for it? my friends iphone fits ok

It stretches though and doesn't require that much stretching anyways, i'll post a picture of it tomorrow.
I dunno man, not much is available is for the HD2 so i found this as the best alternative.

Bought one of these for £4.99 and it fits no problem!
its a little tight but not that much that you have to make adjustments!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400067648025#ht_1620wt_911

Hello everyone.
Iam new at this site. It's realy nice to see so many people at the same place, who can help eachother out
I was wondering about a running program for the HTC HD2? do you guys have anyone that you prefer?
http://www.rungps.net/wiki/DownloadsEN i so this above , is this any good?

wow thats perfect, I dont know whats wrong with mine then??? i cant even get half of it in ! and i have noticed if i did get it in it would stick out the top

Best case for (roughly) £15 on expansys?

www.expansys.com
I have 2 free £15 vouchers, which would be the best option?
Thanks

Don't know what cases you are on about but the advice I would give you this:
If you intend to use the phone in the case all the time then the design that you should go for is one that leaves the whole face of the HD2 open to you otherwise you will have problems operating the phone.
Alternatively go for a case where you can take the phone out to use; however make sure the case completely holds the phone in securely when its in there.
SuperEtrader were selling a belt pouch where you could not even close the flap when the phone was in it. They claimed it was HD2 compatible.
Finally, having bought 5 cases now, you get what you pay for......

i have just bought one of these for work. very good quality for the money. my only complaint is that the hard-buttons can sometimes get pressed and cause the fone to wake, depending on where you have it on you and what you are doing.
all-in-all, a good pouch.

http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4862&t_mode=des
try this for a Pouch instead of a case? thinking of getting it. with the hd2 having similar dimensions to the iphone try some of the cases for that as their is millions of them
HD2 = 121 x 67 x 11 mm
Iphone 3G = 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm

Im looking for something which the phone constantly stays in, which can be opened via a flap like thing, which isnt bulky.
thanks though

I found a pretty good one at Big 5 Sporting Goods

i got a silicone case off ebay and cut two slits in the back and fed a armband through. works good.
then, you can also wear it backwards with the speaker facing out if you dont wanna deal with headphones.
i bet you could also do it with one of those flexi cases off daydeal.com

I have this one
Works well, fits even with the silicone gel glove on. Also can easily use the screen while in the armband.
Hope that helps someone.

Yep, I have the exact same one. I had bought it for my old mogul and it worked fine. Didn't think I could be able to use the touch screen on the Hero but it reads my finger fine. Although the plastic had been stretched a little from the mogul and so it's a little loose inside but doesn't fall out or anything. Be sure to get the right size for your arm. I got the larger one since i've always had issues with armbands fitting my 24inch pythons. =)

I do not think so. Otterboxes from Europe are not going to fit USA one well. It has already been stated in other topics and reviews.

The T-Mobile HD2 is larger; if you are considering the Otterbox Defender, it is custom made for the US model. The plastic fits like a glove and your Euro mode would not work.
The good news is that they make an international model:
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-hd2-cases-international/htc-hd2-cases-international,default,sc.html
It is considerably cheaper on Amazon, although I don't know about shipping to Europe:
http://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-Defe...sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=mobile&qid=1297274312&sr=8-1

i know otterbox, but i saw a nice plastic case for tmo and i was hoping to make it fit mine someway..

although they called it "HTC HD2 CASES (INTERNATIONAL)"
