Does anyone know of a web site tha have a cross reference chart for screen protectors?
Since it doesn't matter what protector you use, just as long it is the same size. And locally I can't find any for the XDA, so I figure since most places sell them for other devices, one of them should fit. But I need to reference chart for that.
thanks.
I found Hama for Fujitsu-Siemens-PocketLook. They cover nearly all sceen (less than 1 mm not covered in height).
Seems to be good.
I bought it from http://shop.brando.com.hk/. Swift and good delivery (less than one and a half week from Hong Kong). Works perfectly. Is not the cheapest but well than you also have something that works good.

I bought one too from Brando.
Very good protection. Just 2 weeks to receive.
Indispensable as I don't want to use a case for my XDA 8)

The ones for the HP Jornada 56x series will work!

@qman
thanks I'll see if they available locally.
@everyone else
I appreciate your comments. But I wasn't looking for places to buy them, I was looking for a cross reference chart that lets you know what PDA's are the same size and can use the same screen protector. Like look at a chart and saying "Protector A can be used on Dell Axim, Ipaq 56x, HP....etc...." So when I look for them locally, since they don't see XDA ones around here, I can buy one that maye be for an HP for instance since I know it is the same size.
The XDA should have the same screen size as the following other Pocket PCs:
Audiovox's Maestro/Thera
Casio E-200 series
iPAQ 1940/1945 series
HP Jornada 560 series
Pocket Loox 600
Sansung SPH-i700
Toshiba e570
Viewsonic V35
Zayo A600
- the closest thing to a cross reference site for screen sizes are available at http://www.pocketpctechs.com/Downloads/WSCPTLST.pdf - although they only list their compatible model numbers for WriteShields (the best screen protector if you ask me - and don't confuse it with those terrible WriteRights from Fellows available from your local store) but if you chose to get the WriteShields for the XDA at this URL:http://www.pocketpctechs.com/detail.asp?Product_ID=WSHPTSH01-3 from the pull down menu you can see the list of compatible screens.

I noticed your comments about the WriteRight screen protectors. I picked up a package of these from a company called Concept Kitchen. (are these the same as Fellowes)
They are not as clear as some screen protectors, but they give a good tactile feel when writing on the screen.
I also tried one by a company called ECfilm. It was very clear but was very slippery to write on, similiar to writing on the naked screen. It was also very expensive. The ECfilm protector also made the screen a bit less accurate.
What are the Writeshields like in terms of clarity, accuracy and tactile feel?
Are the following also compatible with the XDA II? or just the XDA1?
Audiovox's Maestro/Thera
Casio E-200 series
iPAQ 1940/1945 series
HP Jornada 560 series
Pocket Loox 600
Sansung SPH-i700
Toshiba e570
Viewsonic V35
Zayo A600
Many thanks for the listing

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.
http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11762671/Silicone_Skin_Case_For_Sidekick_3.jpg
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.

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!!!

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.

I am looking for a cheapo 2-3 pack protectors from ebay, that will maintain the gloss of the HD2, be bubble free and easy to apply, and fit the HD2.
If anyone got something reasonable recently, can you please shoot me a link to the product page or seller ?
It's important that it will be a 2-5 pack or something because I always mess up the first few ones trying to apply that thing
This may not be the answer you're looking for, but most of the cheapo screen protectors are useless. They are much harder to lay down bubble free and they don't last very long from my experience with them. I suggest you spend around $10. and get a Vikuiti screen protector for your HD2. It lays down very easily and bubble free if you are careful and do the job in a dust free environment like the bathroom after running the shower for a few minutes.
You will likely end up spending less money in the long run and having less frustration. You will also enjoy a better look and feel on your lovely 4.3 inch screen.

u do not need a pack when they are this cheap, buy all u want - HURRY

Well, the protector is here and I just applied it to my US HD2
It fits PERFECTLY, has 2 small holes for the sensors, and goes around the hark keys.
There was almost ZERO difference in color and visibility between the naked HD2 and the HTC Original protector, so very good job on that.
Hand movement is great and smooth..
No complaints at all.
Got a couple for 6 dollars.
I have used boxwave's (www boxwave com) screen protectors for years. They are extremely high quality and optically clear (no rainbow effect). They also have a wonderful surface for finger dragging and are relatively easy to apply without bubbles.
I have submitted a request that they make a crystal and anti glare screen protector for the A7. It would help if you all would also submit requests. They are good about covering most all devices once seeing a market for it.
When selecting your device on the web page chose the "other device" option at the bottom and you will see the request option.

Update:
Here is the reply I got from boxwave:
Dear BoxWave Customer,
Thank you for your product request!
We are currently developing our ClearTouch Crystal for new models, so we appreciate your suggestion since we develop our products based on the number of requests we receive for a particular model.
We will let you know when the ClearTouch Crystal does become available for your unit.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!
Best Regards,

Invisibleshield makes one for the Galazie tab that is "military grade". I was wondering if it would be an exact fit for the eLocity A7 or need to be trimmed.

A7 Screen Protector
Howdy, I reckon one of the plentiful mobile phone stands in most shopping malls would cut one down and fit for a price
Workaround
I ordered one for an iPad and cut it to fit. One thing I didn't do that I would/will do next time is to make a template out of cardboard first. I never use the camera so didn't bother to drill a hole. Thanks all for the feedback.
$1.91 + free shipping!!!
Couldn't beat this one. $1.91 w/free shipping... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0048A0JLS
For the Galaxy Tab. I trimmed it slightly and used a hole punch for the camera.
Hi all... I know this is yet another case thread, but I'd appreciate some Uk specific advice please....
I have a very cheap case off Amazon for my Nexus 7. It is OK I suppose, slightly too big perhaps, but I don't think it will last long and also the sensor lock/unlock does not work. I have pointed this out to the seller and been sent a new, different case but this is also too large for the Nexus 7 and the lock/unlock still does not work.
If any owners in the UK have a case that fits well and locks as it should then please let me know. I don't want to spend much but equally I want a case that works.
Thanks
I've been using the G-Hub case from amazon uk (product code: B008KPVSQC). It's just a cheap pleather case, but the Nexus 7 fits inside snugly and the lock/sleep function works well.
What sort of price range you lookin' for?
I'm looking around the £10-£20 mark, however I just saw the G-HUB for £4.99 incl. delivery (admittedly it is the black/white polka dot version). The main issue is the fit.... the N7 moves around in my current cases, and also the sensor lock/unlock. So fingers crossed this case will do the job.
Thanks
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.
