I believed lots of people are looking for a belt clip case for your U1000/Ameo, and not much can be found in the market.
After buying Lowepro SlipLock™ Pouch 20, still find that it is not very professional to carry around with business pants, so decided to get a tailor to do a custom case.
This is the 1st trial, and more design will be coming for him (a new business for him), got 3 different fabric, leather alike (PVC as shown), computer slipcase 1 and computer slipcase 2.
As for the belt clip, it has a pass through loop and magnet loop (so no need to remove your belt).
As for the flap cover, there are 2 different kind (magnet & Velcro).
The final product should have a complete flip to cover rather than open top.
Now, he is giving me for free, as I think he found a new business, going to sell the case for S$35, which I think it is okay, as the workmanship is good and best of all, none in the market for now.

This is only available in Singaproe, as he is just a local Chinese old tailor, so no website, no Paypal, only got Singapore local number and only speak Chinese and Cantonese

Ah well, not to worry - I'm sure there will be similar offerings over here soon enough.
Just visited him again, still do not have the 2nd design, as he is real busy with his real business (PDA case is a new business).
He just shown me a new fabric, real sheep leather, very thin & soft. I do not think it can hold as belt clip case, but can make it into a slipcase, just a protective case over the Ameo in case of scratches

That's still a good idea. I for one wouldn't be attaching it to my belt - the case would be purely for protection whilst on my travels.
2nd prototype
He just called up, managed to rush out the 2nd prototype, using notebook slipcase material, complete top flip and using velcro.
This 2nd prototype is so much better, using better material (softer, thicker, elastic, better protection) and slightly bigger, so easier to take in/out when compare to the former (too tight fitting)
P/S : dont have my DC with me, so it is taken by my Ameo
i´d like more the first
the first is TOTAL

Excellent, it would be a good idea to place some kind of thin hard material under the leather on the front in order to protect the screen whilst in transit (stitched between two layers of material I mean).
If possible, I recommend a "cut-out" with plastic covering for the status window of the Athena when the phone is closed. Only Piel Frama's is reported to have this once it's in production.

Dear Johnny Kok ,
I am pleased with this first pvc designed look , however for S$35 price is so so , but the metal magnetic button at the belt loop is a bit thick .
The second fabric case looked less attractive , price should be cheaper i think , but the belt loop area should be better , no protuding metal button .
I am from Malaysia , is there a way to buy from you either one of these ? Thanks and regards , pls reply me .

Hi there Athena Owners ,
Anyone use this before ? - Aquapac Waterproof Bag - Mini Whanganui , size is 7.25 inch long and 10.5 inch circumference ( means divide 2 gives u 5 inch wide roughly ) , u can still use stylus ( to tap only ) on u1000 inside thru the see thru UV TPU material , 100% waterproof up to 15 feet , also sand and dust proof , I was thinking to put in my u1000 and use it with the supplied neckcord without the original dopod leather case , if you put the pouch around your neck , it's quite showvy , plus with this quality & strong material wrap around your u1000 , you wont be afraid for accidental small bumbs and nicks or dings when carrying it , i think seeing from the pictures from their web pages , there is a light blue partition where u can put your u1000 in the front and your u1000 keyboard in the back - if i am not wrong . Anyway i can't get a sillicon case or a crystal case for my u1000 ever , i think this may be the closest thing to getting a clear case with protection to use with u1000 . Thanks for reading - best regards and cheers to all - jimmunsw
Has anyone found a supplier for the crystal style hard case?
Hard plastic case with access to screen and buttons.
Thanks
Look for the same device : a good crystal case (like brando ones)
hello,yes on Ebay

had one of these for my N95 8GB and while it did protect the phone I had to chuck it after a month because I couldn't see the screen through it any more...to say they scratch easily is one helluva understatement!
Crytal Case for HD2 @PDAir website
Get it from here !!!
High Durability . . . .

I ordered. Seems to be well made and will clip to your belt. It'll protect your phone when you go on your daily walks.
You'll look like an old man but .
Added pictures and review..
Hello, Everyone. I received the "universal leather case today, 2 days after ordering shipped free. Much much better quality than most other cases that you may find at most celphone shops, ebay etc al. Check out the picture gallery on the link below. Sorry that I can't link directly here yet. So if you old times here can link it directly here, it would help. Thanks again for reading.
My feeling on this case,
1. Fits very well despite it is labelled universal.
2. very very good Q leather (not too hard nor too soft. Just right to me.)
3. has magnet on the flap so it is secure.
4. Belt clip is adjustable 180* where you can wear it side ways (facing front or back)
5. interior of the case seems to be made of high Q stuff too. Not slippery nylon stuff you find in most cases.
Only bad thing about this case ??? It is the colour. It will stand out a bit if you are wearing business suit or something like that. No problem if casually dressed.
Regards to you all.

This case feels very cheap and looks even cheaper. The $9.99 sale price tag is asking to much for this case, even on sale. I would price it below $5 max. (Side Note it shows the List Price: $39.99 [Outrageous] Price: $15.98 [Over Priced])
The case has 2 parts, a very cheap outer gold plastic (it will peal apart from the black tpu) and a somewhat cheap TPU rubber.
In the Gold plastic you can see the mold lines, and portions were not filled in fully or correctly leaving abnormalities in the plastic.
I was going to do a full video review, but really this case is so cheap its not worth the time or effect to edit the video. Also I didn't want to waste time taking my Note 5 out of the full body case its currently in now to put this one one, only to take it off 5min later and throw it in a drawer to never be seen again.
As far as protection; well I'm sure it would save the phone from a drop or two, but the cheap plastic will more than likely break (especially on the corners.)
I would strongly suggest spending a few dollars more on a different case, like SUPCASE or Spigen.

No offense to the company that makes that case but it looks like a direct imitation copy of:
http://www.amazon.com/Caseology®-Wa...364392&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=caseology+note+5
I do not know how do you define the Cheap
I was so picky to pick this golden color out of other 6 different ones , and i just try to keep it low profile with shinny awesome looking , so i escaped the real metal , the shining spray oil ,but this silent and low profile painting .
You do have your right to make judgement , and i felt my personal taste is not a good choice for you .
about the TPU , dude we polished it twice , make it provide good color , yet a little bit matte .Again , we took TPU ,not TPE , and the color of my design is shinning enough , so i just try to make it a little bit low profile .
The pc around the Tpu , will provide a snug fit , also a good protection .
We will work hard to improve our design and productions.
You are always welcome to claim an offer for review ,but we just hope you can be more peaceful and fair .Especially you said the case only will protect your phone from drop 1 or twice . Did you drop your phone yet with my case ?
I personally feel sorry that my personal taste and my design concept are against yours . But i really hate to use Real Metal and Shinning BRIGHT TPU(Which you will love )

Interesting...
I wasn't aware, do you have a link to your classmates case?
I tried searching for it on google but was unable to find anything.
I have the Caseology case linked above, so when I saw your case I noticed the resemblance.
