I picked one of these up at Radio Shack yesterday, because I am tired of the original case. The Athena/Advantage fits perfectly with/without the keyboard. Without the keyboard it slides in and out very well. With the keyboard, like any new case it is a little snug, but after one day of use, it works wonderfully.
The front flap is magnetized and remains closed. The only true draw back is that there is no belt clip. This will be remedied today by going to the alteration shop and having them put a belt loop on it for me.
If anyone wants some pictures of it in with the Athena/Advantage in use let me know and I'll post. Time to get ready for work.

I agree you need a belt clip and it as eaglesteve pointed out, it doesn't. I am having problems getting the photos I took with the device inside the case posted, but I'm not giving up yet. Darn sony memory cards won't fit into standard laptop sd/mmc/cf slots. Time to get an adapter.
Hey, Just about right
Can you post some picture of the Advantage in this case... Please .. share the love man..

Just got an e-mail from Ruben at Piel Frama with all the info on the case. It's available and ready for purchase on their site now.
EDIT: Just e-mailed him asking if there is a belt clip option with this case. Awaiting his response.

Good News !!!
75€!!!...bad news indeed!
A belt clip isn't going to be available for the case. i emailed them last Wednesday with the same question and got a reply Thursday, and they stated a belt clip wont be available because the unit is to heavy, and they dont want to risk damage to the unit.
I think £51 for a decent leather case is not bad considering they are hand made, looking forwards to mine arriving as the T-Mobile supplied case with my Ameo has done more damage than any abuse I could throw at the device, the plastic body has taken a hammering from the retaining lugs of the case - should look good in Green
As for a belt clip, it could prove embarassing - lets face it with the weight of the unit you could end up with trousers around the ankles in a very short time - Mike
I'm just going to put a chain around it and hang it on my neck. LOL, yea right.
How do you guys work around the plastic cover for the screen on the case? In my experience, when I purchased other cases with screen covers, the device wasn't very usable as I use the screen tap all the time. I had to cut the plastic out. I may have to do it with this one as well.
What plastic cover for the screen? I see no cover.
I see a small bit of plastic covering the LEDs, and there's a cutout or window for the status display. The screen area looks uncovered to me.
Mine may be here sooner than I thought, then! Red for me, as it'll look excellent in photographs.

Yes on the screen. I hope they didn't put one on there. Just makes no sense to me to put a cover on a touch screen device.
When yours arrives, would you mind posting some info on the case? Your likes/dislikes? I'm going to order one but will wait till next week possibly.
Of course I will post info, but I was told 15 days, as with the original post. If I have it sooner, then expect pictures and a mini review, because that's what I do

Sweet and thanks.
I wondering if they took our suggestions and implemented them into the design or if they came up with the case all on their own. I e-mailed Ruben a while back giving him a link to a post we started with things we would like to see of a case for this great device. One being the status window for when the phone is closed, etc.
I can't wait to read your mini-review.
just ordered mine. I ll let you know my thoughts and post pics as soon as it arrives
i think the window in the case (which you can see the date and time), will not work , because the keyboard needs to be closed on the screen self, and now the case is between the keyboard and the screen
Maybe i could be wrong but a short test show me that this wil not work.
Please let me know if i'm wrong on this.
cheers

Just to clear up your confusion....
Turn your keyboard round so the CLEAR (Transparent, see-through, whatever you want to call it) plastic is over where the cut-out on the case would be. Et voila! You can now see the screen.

Yes but i mean, the funtion of this wil only work when the keyboard is flat tot the screen (then the screen wil turn over to the date and time function).
try it yourself without the case , and try to remove the keyboard slowely
then the screen turn out of the date and time mode.
sorry for my english i'm from the dutch.
i'll hope you see the point now, the case self suites oke with the window on it

How would having the unit on your belt instead of in your pocket change the fact that your pants don't fit and will end up around your ankles. The same amount of weight will be pulling your pants down either way. I sometimes carry much more weight on my belt than the x7500 and my pants don't fall down you just need to wear a belt.

Either option is a non-starter for 'average' sized blokes. There's no way I could get the Athena in any of my trouser pockets.... and it would just look bloody silly attached to my belt.

Um, that's not what he means at all.
What he's saying is that the Athena needs to "detect" the keyboard is flat across the screen, rather than not properly aligned or not quite attached - so the leather panel on the case will mean the keyboard is likely to not be detected and therefore, the software will not change over to display the status bar.
It depends on the thickness of the leather, but a quick test with my PDair case certainly shows this to be true. Despite the keyboard "snapping" into place across the screen magentically, the Ameo doesn't sense that it is properly closed, and therefore doesn't switch the display over to the status bar.

Thanks for letting us all know.
My only concerns are that the http://www.bluetrade.eu/index.php?page=product&id=8720 case found here will do exactly as the free case does, scratch the inside of the screen, and also ensure that all the letters wear off as there is no protection from the keyboard.
the great diffence is that
you can see the external screen when closed
and !!!
there is a belt clip !!!
The one from Case Logic seems promising but I don't think it will fit:
X7500 dimensions (mm): 133,5 x 98 x 16 (or x 20 with keyboard on)
Case interior dimensions: 138,2 x 82,6 x 25,4
Please report when you receive it and post pictures if you can.

S.

Let us know once you get the case with the belt clip. I want one like that.
This one will work, and has a velcro belt loop:

I like the looks of the bluetrade.eu one. Cant wait for a mini review. How exactly will the x7500 fit on the belt for daily use.... Will it make you limp?
Looks to be about $49 USD for it after all shipping and paypal tax. The shipping to the US is more than the case costs
Looks to be about the same design as the Piel Frama and about half the price for people in the US. We will see what the quality is when someone gets one.

Thanks looks good indeed.. I did order one asw ell yesterday evening, let's see, they states it will take at least 10 days to deliver...
Hi,
I like the bluetrade one BUT ... I don't think the display will work proparly because the keyboard will a little bit separated from the Athena so the magnet will not recognized the keyboard is there (as it happens with the case it comes with the Athena). This is due to the smalls grips to hold the Athena.
4 weeks ago, I found this camera bag that fits to my Athena.
The brand name is TUCANO (www.tucano.it).
When I'm wearing a suit I use to carry the Athena in my jacket pocket without any kind of case.
But the rest of the time I use to carry a small backpack. For that reason, I was looking for a case which it could be complitely closed.
As I said, the one I'm using is from Tucano and is a camerga bad. There are several sizes. My one is 'Medium'.
I hope this would help anyone.
I will add some pictures so I'm sure you will have a better idea.
Best regards,
Alberto

It's under the HTC X7500 category on their website so I'm hoping it fits. Aesthetically, it does not really tick any of my boxes but I've actually ordered one to try out until I get the case I really like.
can I suggest you dont carry your credit card in there as in the photo.
the magnets will do magical and mystical things.

It does look better but personally, I do need a belt-clip/attachment option for carrying it about.
belt clip

you can also use the aircompact casing for a nintendo DS. it fits perfectly with side pockets and extra flap in the middle to protect your lcd and the keyboard from rubbing against each other

And protects the keyboard from any attempt to type on it.
It's not a BAD case; some aspects are well thought out, but it has NO belt clip option, and the keyboard is covered with a plastic sheet that warps and isn't quite flexible enough - even when new, before it had warped so much the ZXC row of keys was utterly unusable, pressing E or R would often send a half-finished reply to an SMS as it activated the soft key as well.
After a month of ownership the plastic was so bad, I traced the edges of the keyboard and cut a section out, leaving only the top row of keys covered and an edge around to hold the keyboard down.
Oh, didnt realise it had a crappy plastic cover over the keyboard! I assumed it had a magnet on the back like the original case... damn.
Just to let you all know, the HD2 Passive Holder is now listed on Brodits website, it's not available to buy yet (just says 'coming soon') but there are pictures.
I emailed Brodit asking them when it will be released and this was their reply:

Mmmh nice, but need an active one
Hope they make a model voor landscape

I got my Brodit holder today. To be honest, it fits a bit too 'firmly' for my taste. Since the HD2 has these 'rubberized' sides I'm afraid it will rub them off as I keep squeezing it in and pulling it out.
I have no intention of using the phone landscape in the car, IMHO that's a waste of time and space as most of the time I'M more interested in the forward direction than what is left and right of me, so portrait suits me just fine. I don't need it to copy the layout of a GPS to use it as one.
So now I have a piece of wood wedged into the holder to 'untighten' the unit a bit.
This is my first HTC with the rubberized exterior. Does anyone have experience with the outside material and how lasting it is? IIRC the Touch Pro had issues with this rubbing off too quickly.
TIA

REVIEW ON POST #6
Has anybody bought this stand! I really like it. In fact i prefer it over the other cradles, since it can be used both in portrait and landscape.
i tried buying it several times but paypal keeps giving me limitation errors though i am verified. contacted them but no use, they suck. i cant even make donations here
Here is the link to the product
http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_detail.php?pid=5415
If anybody here has it, could you pls review with some pics. thanks
Paypal sucks as*. They refuse to unfreeze my account even though I did 4 things they asked me too. I refuse to fax them pics of my social security number and id.
I was going to order the stand because I've been looking for one. I clicked ABOUT US and found this:
4U-Mobi is offers a wide range of accessories of PDA, iPod, Smartphone, etc.
We accept credit card payments over the PayPal. Accepting Visa and Mastercard. All payments in US Dollars and deliver worldwide.
The above is copy/paste from their site. I never order anything online from foreign companies unless I've heard of them.

i just received this stand.here is a little review:

I really like it. Looks elegant on my desk.
The bottom has a non slip rubber, the part where the device goes in is plastic and the leg is made of steel. the 90 degree rotation is very useful. There is cut outs for the usb and earphone plugs. i am using the device on it with no issues, it is stiff and its not shaking at all.

I bought it from here

I got it within two weeks, the thing is don't expect any customer service from these guys. They don't even send you an email of purchase confirmation.
Despite contacting them several times- No reply.

You are welcome!
I just got mine a couple days ago after reading your post. Agree with everything you said. It's nice and sturdy. The 90% rotation is great for watching YouTube videos in landscape mode. A lot better than I expected. It feels like it'll last for years. Just don't expect to take this with you because it won't fit in your pocket. I rest it next to my computer and use it as a secondary computer, listen to radio, watch movies, check email, etc...

Thanks for the great review and pics.
It looks like from your pics that the volume down button is a little obscured. I'm I right, or is it just the angle of the picture? Did yours come with the top clip as shown on the website? Is it tight with the top clip on? The reason I ask is because I have the US HD2 and it's a little taller than the EU HD2.
Thanks.
Has anyone tried using this stand with an HD2 skin on their device, such as BodyGuardz, InvisibleShield or BSE? I'm wondering if a transparent skin would make it too hard to insert into this stand.
I think I will get this and secure it to my dash as a car mount. This way I can use it in both landscape or portrait if desired.
Looks great to me, thanks for the heads up!
(Official car dock is expensive :S)
Update: Just ordered, looking forward to this.

Yes , unfortunately thats the only setback. the volume down button is obscured. It doesn't really bother me though.
Yes i got my top clip but don't need to use it since without it its easy to put the device on and off. Even without it the phone stays securely in place.Plus i think the clip has a couple of mm more room.
I also did some DIY on the inner side of the stand to protect my phone from scratches. i used self adhesive soft fabric and cut it right.

Great, thanks for answering my questions. I purchased the stand based on your review. I think if the volume down being obscured bothers me I can just cut a bit of the plastic. Great idea with the lining, I might have to do that too.

Hey! I'm doing the same thing as soon as I get it. I'll be mounting it on the top of my steering column. With my CarPC, I'll be using it with Remote Desktop for diagnostic functions and GPS. In portrait it won't obscure my gauges...

Just made a similar modification to my stand, although with Moleskin Plus.
Although I found putting it on the arms made it very tight and too difficult to slip the device in.
In fact, even with it just on the back and sides it is very tight.
Do you find the same issue with yours?

Just made a similar modification to my stand, although with Moleskin Plus.
Although I found putting it on the arms made it very tight and too difficult to slip the device in.
In fact, even with it just on the back and sides it is very tight.
Do you find the same issue with yours?

Mine slides in and out smoothly. You need to use very thin fabric lining like i have. i also cut the left plastic side which covers the volume button. now it works great.
HTC HD2 smart stand is also available on Expansys ... I'll buy from them (very reliable in previous transactions)

I just ordered this case, so I cannot give any feedback yet however I do have a coupon code to get $30.00 off.
The case ended up being ~$25.00 shipped.
The coupon code is REDDIT30

Ordered! Thanks!
Thanks for posting this up, I just bit as well and picked one up. I hope its as good as it looks. I'll post up some feedback once I have it in hand.
On a side note you might want to make sure that you're using a unique password with their site as my email address and password where sent to me after creating a account suggesting that both are stored in plain text inside of their database.
Now you've done my head in (In a good way)
Was just about to take the plunge on a Portenzo, BUT NOW IVE SEEN THIS !
Don't know which one to get, only problem with this one is its plain, and the stand doesn't look very sturdy, and if its anything like the one I have now itll fall over with the slightest touch !
Wow, this looks really good AND THEY SHIP TO NEW ZEALAND!!
Now i have to decide between this and the Nillkin Smart Cover.
Cheers for the heads up!
I received the case yesterday and I'll say, for $25 bucks delivered, its an awesome case.
My only complaint is the way the cover flap snaps on. Its got two hooks on the outside that snap down over the back side cover. I'm trying to think of a way to engineer a better solution for closing the case. I think I'll remove the two hooks and make a latch in the center that holds it down. I'll post pics of the creation when I figure out the logistics and get it done.

Thanks for sharing this.
Whats wrong with the hooks? Does it not shut tightly? Also, will the case fold back flat onto itself for holding the tablet in portrait mode?

The hook are a little clunky because you have to pause for a moment after closing the case flap to make sure they both went on. I like it though; it keeps the flap closed but it doesn't really get in the way. I'm a little worried about the magnets though, as I've heard they can cause problems with the N7. Has anyone had any issues with them?
EDIT: Forgot to answer your other question. Yes, the flap will fold flat onto the back of the device.
bad case
Had the case only 2 weeks and the plastic clips that hold it closed broke. Contacted Devicewear and all they are doing is giving me the run around
O we have sent you emails but you have not responded. Funny i got that one though. when i responded back they just ignore you. This case is crap and the company has lost any future bis with me.
