which is the best case to buy for compact size , protection , style and useability in regards to the capability for the belt clip. i have seen the aluminium and plastic one . how does the belt cilp work with that also can you get them in funnky anodised colours.
cheers
Don't know about funky colours but the leather Krussel case is excellent.
O2 standard Xda II case
On the subject of cases, anyone know if it's possible to get a spare belt clip for the standard O2 Xda II case? A tiny bit broke off mine after 1 month and it is now useless as the PDA falls off it.
Neither my local O2 shop nor the UK Xda II Service Centre can supply a replacement belt clip on its own - they want to hit me for £20 for a new case. If I do have to buy one, it won't be from them, that's for sure...

Why bother? Just get the Krussel, it's a much better case and way cheaper.
The Alu cases have a screw-in peg on the rear of the case which the belt clip locks onto. Others using the Alu cases have suggested glueing the post in place to prevent it unscrewing during normal wear.
The Alu cases also reduce the signal strength in weaker areas. I purchased the ProPorta model and only used it for two weeks before going back to the standard O2 case.
I am now the very happy owner of a ProPorta Crystal Case. It is very lightweight, adds almost no bulk and looks great.
Unfortunately it does not support a belt clip although I see no reason why you couldn't fabricate something yourself if you were so inclined.
I just got the clear case, its very sexy, wish it had a belt clip but you cant have everyting, there is a thread about the clear case with pics, it's like the alu case but that looses signal strength apparently, although does have sd card holders if i remember correctly and this doesn't...

its nice cos u can make and receive calls without the threat of the xda2's slippery surface sliding thru your hands... which is why i used to keep it in my standard case so much... i just got mine from pdamods.com for £15
the standard case offers little protection to the lower sides of the xda2 (not that i have scratches on mine as a result but some people moan of it) but there is a reason, basically it's so you can sit it in the docking cradle without taking it out the case...
moving on, I'm getting this silicon job that pdamods want £20 for, from ebay at only a £10 :lol: this seller has them for sale all the time - here is an example auction with picture http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5115014427&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT
it doesnt have a belt clip but has a loop by the looks for carry strap / neck strap type effort
Clips
I use cases utilziing the Ulti-Clip from http://www.theclip.com/.
My leather case from HandheldPlanet.com has one.
They are very solid clips. I used a stick-on post on my aluminum case -I took off the screw-in post. Now all my phones/gadgets have the same clip.
Is anybody making a leather case that does NOT have a snap closure, similar to the EB Case for the original XDA? The Krussel is nice, but that strap/snap closure is annoying and slow to use.
I used a Cellet Bergamo Leather Case Holster for my G1 and loved it, and now that I have an Inspire I'm temporarily able to fit the Inspire into the CB case.
Now I want to order a Case-mate "POP" for better protection along with a CB holster and would like to know if anyone has tried fitting the C-M "POP" into CB or any open holster type .....Thanks for any help or suggestions........
I purchased the Otterbox "Defender" but it's like hanging a laptop off you hip
Are there any kickstand cases available like T-Mo sold for the MT4g?
Bump.......
The T-Mobile Body Glove case has a kickstand as part of the Belt clip. Not a svelte design but its functional.
I do believe both body glove Hard case and the belt clip case have kick stands. only ones I have so far.
Do a search on ebay for em. A lot of new stuff there from last week.
Hi,
Searched the forums, but couldn't find a thread that talks what I need.
Currently I have my eyes set on a Trident Case from Amazon.
I'm looking for a case the offers good protection that can be used with a belt holster or a belt clip.
I've looked at holsters like these. But the issue is they are not wide enough to insert a phone that already has a cover like Trident. IF I can find a holster big enough so I can put the phone with the Trident cover in to it that would be great.
Or else maybe a belt clip that works with the Trident cover?
I'm not dead set on the Trident cover, so if you have better suggestions please let me know.
Thanks
I have the Seidio Surface case and holster. I also have 3 Nillkin cases that fit within the Seidio holster very well, but they don't offer as much protection as the Seidio case does. I definitely recommend the Seidio Surface line...it's a very well made case and holster (full body protection, felt lined case, and the holster is felt lined as well).
Of course, nothing offers the same protection as the Trident Aegis...that's like wrapping a quilt around your phone. I don't know of any holsters that fit the Aegis.
wish seidio made an active case for us...
Has anyone found a snap-on belt holder clip that doesn't also have a case? I rock my phone naked but would like to have a clip that I could use with sweatpants or shorts. Seido made one for the N6...

try the Seidio holster for the iphone 6S Plus.
