ummm - why??? :?:
To repair/replace the housing of a dropped and cracked exec possibly? To replace the grey casing of an MDA Pro with the oh so sexy black of the XDA Exec? Could be many reasons.
I also would quite like to know if it's possible to buy case components - I've got a particularly nasty scratch on the metal plate on the lid which probably knocks a load off the 2nd hand value. Depending on what I am offered when it's upgrade time, I may want to "refresh" the look of the Exec to get the maximum resale for it.
I changed the case on my m600 last night and it was not a pleasent experiance.. it is possible but very tricky. sellers on ebay often have complete chassis you can buy
I design and protype notebooks for living and i still found it tricky!

this is the reson so anyone know anywhere apart from the luck of an ebay user wanting to sell one? (so far no luck on ebay).

You'll need to replace the entire lid - you can't just remove the metal section as it's so thin it bends very easily and will not stick back down again properly.
xda-dev member 'monster' had my last xda exec casing for the time being, and they are not cheap - about £40 for everything including a new hinge and hinge cover. No, I don't currently have any, and no, I can't let you know when I get some - I'll make it public when I have any more.
HTC will refurb a mda-pro or m5000 for about £90 but not the exec :-(

Krusell finaly announced a case for the TytnII I think these are the best casses in the market I have used on with the K jam,then the Jasjam and I will order this one when it becomes available later this month.
http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=2774
Wow, thanks. I've been waiting for Krusell to come out with a case for the TyTN II. I have sent an email to my local vendors right away.
Thanks,
Phil
Man that case does look nice, i hope it isn't to bulky

That's my only worry. I agree they do look like very good cases, but I'd really like a case that protects without making the phone 50% thicker!
Krusell cases are excellent value for money - I've used them for years

I agree. My last phone was the Palm Treo 650 and after removing the phone after having it in my Krussel case for awhile, I was surprised how small my phone felt 'nude'.
Cheers,

Personally the only thing I miss from my old Jasjam is the Krusell leather case I find it hard to use with the supplied case and always fear dropping it

I have tired to find cool slim cases for my Wizard and Hermes with NO luck. Some of the better leather cases that are thin do not work well as the phone can slide out (when moving fast or coming down stairs) and the uber cool two piece plastic case (this case was cool as you can slide open keyboard without having to open anything - face is always visible too) I found a few months ago was cool until the plastic would no longer keep the phone in the case and would fall right out. Between the Wizard and Hermes, I have owned about 15 cases including the Aluminum cases. All are a bust! I just ordered the Krusell tonight (will ship Next Day Air tomorrow) and will settle for a thicker case in which my phone will NEVER get damaged. I will provide feedback on Wednesday when it arrives..

Images of Krusell Case and my Tilt!
I am a case freak and have purchased every case under the sun (pouches, Aluminum, two piece snap-on case and many many more) for my Wizard and Hermes in the past. It really surprises me that NO ONE can make a good case that allows the PDA/Phone to be FUNCTIONAL while providing good protection. Today my Krusell arrived. Before purchasing I was mixed on the main flap that covers the entire phone when closed. I like to be able to glance at my phone to see incoming calls, emails and text messages.
Anyway, the case is well made and the phone fits firmly into the case (which means phone will not fall out). I do not like the fact that the clip is placed "high" on the rear of the case. When sitting one must becareful not to break the clip. Running with the phone attached could be an issue as well with the clip placement high. Unforunately you have to unsnap the 2nd smaller flap to slide the phone open for keyboard use. I have dealt with this in the past and will probably be ok with it. Bottom line is the case protects the phone very very well. In the past I have found good functional cases that did not protector or hold the phone well. Images are below. Sorry for the poor lighting as I took these at work. I have a photo light at home and will take better images tonight.

Thanks for the pics! I was hoping someone would get this case and post some pics. You can't always rely on the sellers pics.
I am a real big fan of the Krusell cases. I think you will be hard pressed to find better made product. Having said that, I just can't warm up to this case. If it was more like the one for the 8525 I would buy it in a second. It fit my "needs" on the 8525 perfect for how I use the phone. Plus I didn't have to lift a single flap to operate it. This one for the Kaiser/Tilt does, and you have to flip open two flaps to use the keyboard.
I guess I will pass on this one.
Maybe I need to get the thread, needle and some fine Corinthian leather out and make my own.

I agree with you on the functionality (to many flaps).. But for the meantime I will use for protection therefore my search "will" continue.. Your IDEA of making your own case is good. So hard to find a good case for any Phone these days.
I do like this one: https://www.noreve.com/product_info.php?products_id=2069

Will give it a shot next week when it ships.....
Has anyone purchased and received the Noreve Kaiser case yet?
Would be interested in seeing how it works. I'm still using my Krusell horizontal pouch that I used with the 8525 and it makes the device easily accessible rather than having to open many things to access the device like the book cases.

Hi, I'm looking for a silicon protection for my kaiser. Yesterday I drop my kaiser for my first time... It has 3 horrible body scratches now... the smooth surface is anything but scrached protected...
I'm now looking for some kind of protection. My first idea was to get a silicon protector, like those used for ipods... But I have not been able to find any....
Does any of you own one of those?
Any recomendation?
http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02247&dept_id=039&cat_id=0763
Thanks for the info!!!
Are u using one of those? Are u still able to use the HTC holder (The one included in the original HTC TyTN 2 box)?
Have u buy any other product from that website?
thanks !!!!!
I am not using it for the TyTNII, but had one for the P3600. Have ordered many products from that site.....no problems whatsoever. Still think Brando screen protectors are amongst the best you can find.
Has anyone seen a similar silicone case but with a plastic screen protector like that for the wizard?
- TKN
How the Brando works if we slide and tile the screen? Anyone can post a pic for this?
they sell it on ebay for $10 shipped
Hi,i've bought one for my trinity and it was very effective.So i command one ( Brando ) for my Kaiser.I've received it today and it's really a bad product,the protection fall all the time.So i continue to use my trinity silicon case.So don't buy this !
I've got one off eBay, maybe fake who knows, but it suffers exactly as Marcdu81 says. Its rubbish, falls off all of the time, on the Artimes, I used a silicon protector in cunjunction with a slip case, and was hoping to repeat that with the kaiser. Looks like the Seido super thin case is the only way, at ~£30 to the UK. I only paid £80 + contract for the kaiser so £30 is a lot for a case. I'll carry on hunting for a good and cheap case.
DO NOT BUY THAT!!!
It's a piece of junk just like everyone said. The best protection currently for this device is the Seidio rubberized case. I know it's pricey, but it's well worth it.
Trust me, I tried the cheap way and got that piece of crap from ebay. Do like I did and bite the bullet. You can get the Seidio rubberized case for a few bucks cheaper on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/724-Seidio-Rubb...ryZ20337QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Actually, once you get the Seidio case, the crappy silicone case fits much better when you use both at the same time.
do they sell the Seidio rubberized case without the hole for the second camera in the front? my tilt doesnt have the second camera.

Unfortunately, they don't... Yet. They say they MIGHT in the future but I wouldn't hold my breath. Believe me, the beauty of this case makes up for the useless hole.

But Anyway I have to second or third the notion about the Seido Rubberized Case. It stays on the Phone SO well and you can slide a tilt with ease. It's so awesome.
Thanks guys, I'm going to bite the bullet and get the Seidio rubberized case then. Hopefully there won't be problems with this rubber falling off!

I only want to get a simple slip-in case that protects the PRO when in a pocket or anything. For usage I would just take it out of the case.

Case
It's not really a case - more like a slip. You can't attach it to your belt.
I'm off to buy a decent case for it.
Yep, it's literally just a leather "tube" that you slide the Raphael into, with a ribbon stitched inside to stop it sliding out of one end. Snug fit though, so it wont be sliding out too easily anyway. Pics (taken with a Diamond) attached...

Is it leather? I hear is more like soft plastic or something...
Seems like leather to me. It's well made and protects the phone well but you just cannot connect it to your belt.
From the pics it's seems a great case.
I hate those cases that had a belt clip, for example for the Prophet, yuck!!
I hate them belt clips to and besides that the risk of losing your phone get's even bigger.
Always in my pocket and guard it with my life

I like the case very much, it keeps the overall size of Phone+Case down as much as conceivably possible. I don't think I need to purchase a new case, unless of course someone teases me with a better one!

Anyone know of any other suitable cases that mount on a belt horizontally?
I have the case that came with the Touch Pro and, all in all, it's good quality except it's just a slip and is a bit tight, i.e. can't get the phone out quickly.
There was a leather version of the official case advertised which looked better than the soft version (which seems to open around the edges for my liking and that material doesn't offer enough stiff protection), but that seems to have vanished.

Yep, that's the soft material one which doesn't look like it gives much protection, also seems quite open at the bottom, probably only an elastic strip in the middle.

Careful!!!!!
Guys, be careful with those flip leather bags!
I'm having really bad experience with this one. It has a sheet of protective foil (0.5 mm thick) over the keyboard, so when the screen is closed, this foil is pushing the screen away from the keyboard.
One week of using this crap bag and now I can actually pull the screen away from the keyboard 1mm or so (left side in closed position). And when I shake the closed phone holding the keyboard, i can see and hear the screen flapping.
Apparently the hinges are not stable enough to resist any objects between them. I don't see a way of tightening them up myself. (Although I'm pretty do-it-myself guy, don't feel like taking this thing apart without instructions).
So I'm just getting myself an aluminium case, at least it won't get worse, 'cause the screen and keyboard are allways fixed against each other.
And I strongly recommend you consider whether you want to ruin an expensive unit with a cheap bag.
I add this one. It's a high quality leather case.
A little bit expansive but i'm so glad to have it, it's really good.
I really want this case, but does anyone know of a side case that exposes the miniusb, so I can plug in my headphones

Agreed, I personaly refused to use that type of case after seeing another touch pro flapping after it got taken out its case. Mines thankfully has never been in such case and is still like new. Avoid may well be the best advise. However it does limit what you can pick though. I use the HTC sleve, and then put that in my mini s belt case. A bit bulky, but until a good solution comes about, it'll have to do.
I too use the sleeve that comes with it but my problem is when I keep it in my pocket , sometimes when I receive a call , it answers on its own , very irritating
