Found a great cheap case pictures included

So I just got the Streak coming from an iphone. I wanted a simple belt clip you know the plastic holster that you can just snap the phone into. I couldnt find one for the dell streak anywhere including ebay. I found something on the UK ebay site and emailed them about it but never heard back. So i went to Microcenter here in Ohio to get a keyboard for my computer. They sell alot of odd stuff there and they had a row of cases for phones and other computer peripherals. I look at the phone cases and nothing even came close to fitting.
Then i happen upon cases for portable hard drives. I come across this "Inland Pro Hard Drive Enclosure Case" for 2.5" hard drive enclosures. Its made out of a mesh material (like running shoes), is a vertical pouch with elastice on the sides. The case is about 4" inches high and about 1/4 inch thick when the elastic is not stretched. It has a flap the goes from the back to front. It is covered in velcro and there is a patch of receiving velcro on the front. Importantly it has a belt loop in the back. Not as good as a clip but functional none the less.
I slip my streak in it and viola perfect fit from a width and thickness perspective. It slips in firmly yet easily. From a hight perspective the case covers the screen entirely, About the top 1/4 -1/2 of the phone is exposed. Basically the top bezel where the FCC resides. The velcro strap is long enough that it can bridge the top of the streak and latch on to the patch of velcro in the front. Its a strong enough bond that it will hold the streak in the case even when turned upside down as you can see by the attached pictures (Its the picture in front of the Computer monitor- sorry my desk is also messy).
The best part is that the case was 9.00. The web site is inlandus.com and the UPC code (i think that is what it is called i used in on SHop Savy and actually found this for 4.99) is 0 1240502200 6 . The inland stock number is 02200,
Anyone looking for a case i would recommend that you check this out.

Good to know.
I have been to this same microcenter ( is it the one in cleveland ? ) few times and have looked around for a case for my streak too
I always look in the portable HDD section .
Looks like streak people are always in the same league.
I have a question for you. Does this case have a belt holster.
I searched for the upc code but could not locate it

I'm actually down in Columbus but am also familiar with the microcenter you are talking about in cleveland.
The back of the case has a belt loop. You need to run your belt through it but it does work. Not sure how strong it is though or how long it will last. Here is the link to the microcenter link. If that doesn't work just type in "inland 2.5 hard drive case" in the search field.

Thanks once again. I will have a look at how i can modify the belt part.
I need the one with a belt clip and i do not wear a belt at work.

I purchased this Nintendo DS case from Best Buy for about $11.00. It is fairly well padded and will protect the Streak fairly well from bumps and drops as well as the structure of the case has solid panels to help protect it from "pokes" to the screen.

Case fully opened
Rip out the plastic DS holder
Put a few drops of glue on the zipper teeth right about where the slider is shown, so the zipper cannot be fully opened. DO NOT glue the slider down.
The back of the case is useful for holding things like a sync cable
**** Caution, test fit your streak first, some of these cases are a bit smaller (about 1/2 inch) than others, which will prevent the Streak from fitting in it correctly
The white one I just purchased, looks almost identical to the black one I currently use, and the black case fits the Streak fine even with the Commuter case on, but the white one will only fit the Streak naked... or perhaps after the months of wear on the black one it has just stretched enough that it fits it better
I'm going to sew another caribeener loop across from the existing loop so it can be clipped to another belt loop. That will prevent it from flopping around so much.

Nice

A quick tip: don't bring this case to your first date. Or the second date.. Or third...

Updated 5/17/2011 with pics - New Dell Streak 5 leather case... quite impressive!

I was bored at work today, so I started perusing the ebay listings for Dell Streak 5 cases.
I found this leather case and I must say, I'm quite impressed with the way it looks. I think I am going to buy one for me and my wife.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Genuine-Book-Leather-Case-Cover-Dell-Streak-mini-5-/190520035199?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c5be1077f#ht_2319wt_1140
==============
Updated 5/17/2011
==============
it took 3 weeks to arrive from China, but I just got mine & my wife's leather cases in. Not a bad case. I'm torn on wondering if it's worth the $40 I spent on it though...
here are some pictures:
sitting with my streak with the kickstand

front view closed
back view closed (note that the opening for the camera was a bit shallow on mine. I had to cut it out a bit more. My wife's was perfect...)
open with flap/kickstand
side view
Other interesting items...
it doesn't have the cutout to insert the PDMI cord for connecting. Easy enough to cut it out, but I haven't yet. Also, the buttons on top (volume, shutter, on/off), don't have cutouts. there is an overlapping piece of leather that folds over the top of the streak to hold it in, or whatever. I kind of like it
Lastly, there is an elastic band keeping the case closed. I can foresee this wearing out, but nontheless, it's there and it works nicely. you can see it on the front closed view (first pic). Its a lighter brown stripe.
I give this case a 7 our of 10. Definitely better than the stock leather case from Dell. I figure I'll keep my otterbox in my car to mount in my holder and use this one in my backpack and moving about. It protects the streak quite nicely!

Nice like the look of the case.... Looks like PayPal is going to get a hammering
Thanks for the link
Update....
Just put in the order so will do Review when it arrives 10-14 Days i Hope,, coming from china

Very impressive

wow...nice indeed...i will wait for you guys to do a review first.i will get one after aswell.cheers for the tip.

Thats probably the best looking case I've seen so far. Love the stand feature! One problem I see is that if you need to take a picture, you won't be able to fold the front flap over because it would be blocking the camera, so you may have to hold it up wit the knuckle of the finger pressing the camera shutter button.

find it.nvm.just cant made my mind with one to buy!

Try the search function m8.

Hm, not a big fan of this one, and it's all because of how the device is held in.
I got the Dell branded leather book case and my favorite thing about it is that the actual piece that holds the phone is thin but very sturdy plastic sewn into the leather on the inside. The plastic covers NONE of the face of the device.
Then again, it cost twice as much, so I can see how this would be a good budget option for the same style.

I always have mine clipped into a my car dock or in a pocket that has nothing in to scratch it,I just use a protector on the screen. It is very nice though and could be a good one for long journeys and storage.
The problem I find is that it's too damn sexy to cover up!

Looks pretty nice

Nook Color duct tape case

so this whole thing started when I got a few scratches on the back of my nook color after a few days. I didn’t have the money to buy a nice case yet, so I did what I usually do... Make one out of duct tape so I just used normal tape and made a big piece of fabric, cut it to the right size and put the little corner holder things on. Unfortunately, I didn’t think about the corner holder things blocking the volume and power buttons :/ but its not so bad. I later colored it up with other colors of duct tape and cut up the back of spiral notebooks and made a smart cover rip off
Well, thats it. I hope you guys like it. Comments/Criticism is very welcome

MacGyver would be very proud!
Honestly, that's a pretty awesome way to use duct tape!
that case looks great and according to the pictures, it seems pretty sturdy!
I see you tried to keep the ipad case style, and it seems it's strong enough
to be used as a stand.
Great job man!

Thanks it is pretty sturdy, but don't think it would last for more than 3 or so months before it starts to come apart... but then I could just make a new and improved one

This is Epic Win.

I'm thinking about improvising a case myself, though I may have a mod-able case on hand, so I can probably avoid going the duct tape route
Still, solidly constructed given the materials at hand.

u have any instructions on how to make that? its really cool

I have been looking for a case just like this, except without the duct tape since I got my nook 5 months ago. I want the fold open case that folds underneath to make a stand for easier typing. Has anyone seen one?

Just search "Nook Color Case" on Amazon and there are at least 3 of them. I want to grab one pretty soon, too. I swear the rooCase portfolio was 23.99 the other day
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...words=nook+color+case&sprefix=nook+color+case

Excellent. I missed this Roo case. I had only seen the vertical one.
http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Easy-...TF8&coliid=I3DRJSW0WIXJU6&colid=1RFCYIM3A0T3N
I have also heard good things about this case from another thread, but it doesn't look as nice, but is half the price.
http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita...TF8&coliid=I3RDRQ6QU0UQTP&colid=1RFCYIM3A0T3N

The second one looks pretty decent for the money.
I went with this guy, the brown one: http://www.javoedge.com/reflexeshop/productCatalog/getProduct.do?poid=3171&pbmId=18384
I saw their Cocoa Cherry Blossom one on Amazon and liked where it was coming from in terms of the style, but it's obviously kind of girly. They had a ton more styles on their own site, and they all have that casual-but-not-sporty look that I haven't really seen anywhere else. I went with flip because it seemed more flexible in terms of propping it either portrait or landscape, and it seemed more secure for travel with the NC enclosure being open at the top.

it was 24.99! I was goanna buy it :/

i love it, totally gettoicious

Before seeing this post, yesterday, I was going to cut up an old HP (Now called Agilent Technologies) instrumentation catalog I had just tossed for recycling. Basically a large textbook, and use its hardbound covers. Duct tape was in the front of my thoughts.
Then I spotted some cd cases on my shelf from the dollar store... I unsewed the cd slips, and made a nice soft neoprene padded cover.
I put two small fuzz velcro strips on the back of the nc, the case already had a hook velcro in a good spot,
and the case just fits to cover the front, over the top, and down the back, just a bit short, but leaves the speaker open to the air, and a bit off a table, where it reflects its pee-poor volume.
Now I have a padded cover with neoprene or nylon coating for a buck.

[Review]Multi-Angle Leather Folio Case from Anker

Here is the album of more photos of the case....
https://plus.google.com/photos/1042...ms/5777724988825050929?authkey=CIzz9oGX49azaA
What we have here today is what I got today in the mail. A multi angle leather folio by Anker. See amazon link above for their details. It is $9usd PLUS shipping, depending on where you are. If you are on prime, then more power to ya. LOL
Anyway into the case...
I have to preface, I do not normally buy cases like this for a 7 inch tablet. I was given this to review and just giving it my fair shake....
This case is a good case for $9usd. At this price point you cannot really expect quality like Marware, so please keep that in mind. However, IMO, the fair price for this type of case, I would put it in the $20 range.
Leather...is this leather? Seems like it, but it is very thinly bound to the card stock cover. The stitching is ok, because of the quality of leather, I didn't expect a lot. As for added bulk...it does add as much bulk as my Treegloo case though. But the only thing this case has going for it is the multi-angle viewing ability.
This is done by a snap button found on kids winter coats. Meaning it's a bit bulky, but it does the rotating without a large rotating mechanism. The only negative about this is that the button kind of protrudes out to the backing, in which you can see here.
Now getting this to landscape mode is self explanatory, but using this to read portrait needed a little fiddling. In using the case in portrait, you have to swivel the case and then only the middle and outer groove can be used. If you use the back end groove, the tablet is guaranteed to fall on itself. You can kinda use the outer edge groove, however. And you can use this in portrait AND charge at the same time. Win!
And another thing about this case that I liked is that the case can come apart. Being the rotating mechanism is a button, you can undo it and carry it like a normal case without a front cover, which is nice IMO. A good alternative if you ask me.
Bottom line, would I recommend this case? Well if you are looking for a simple case for under 20 bux, yes. The advantage of multi angle viewing and taking the case apart, makes this worth getting for a backup case.
I guess having a Treegloo as my first case may have spoiled me LOL.
Any questions? Lay 'em on me.

wow, fantastic review.
i just recieved it today, great.
A good alternative I also think.

Just received mine today via USPS.

Compact
Not a whole bunch more added bulk
Inexpensive
Customer service was a pleasure to work with
Closes with a elastic strap. very journal-esque.
Multiple viewing angles not only in Landscape, but Portrait as well. Very few cases offer this.
Dislikes
Snap/Button built into the rear of the cover treats you to a very un-even form factor.
Didn't like the extra hump made visible by the button
Not very supple. Feels very hard, and edgy.
Sleep/Wake feature did not work consistently. It only worked maybe 2 out of 7 tries.
Decent pick overall, for the money, it provides a great set of viewing angle options.

Won't recommend. Its pretty inferior quality. I ripped mine open just to see what was on the inside. Its literally cheap leather wrapped around a cardboard that's as thin as a cereal box. Very flimsy. And the magnet isn't even located in the correct spot (for sleep/wake)

TeckNet slim smart cover now just £3.98 at Amazon

I have tried multiple Nexus 7 cases and this is the best one I have come across to date. I bought it last week at £6 and I thought that was a good buy. For £4 it is a steal.
The case does not add much bulk like other cases available. The quality of the case is also pretty good (even if it is pleather).
The cover is kept closed with magnets and it can fold back to make a viewing stand (similar to the iPad case).
Available in Purple and Black for £3.98

why can't I find this in amazon US?
!!!

TeckNet seems to be a UK manufacturer who actually seem to have their own stuff rather than generic Chinese imports.

Is there any way to get this in the U.S?

Without the folio type covering around the bezel, this case would've been perfect.

Bought one of these yesterday and it just arrived.
Fits the device rather well, very secure with the way the velcro folds in at the spine. The magnetic bits do the trick and the device wakes up correctly. All the appropriate buttons exposed.
Main issues I have is that the cover doesn't close 100% flat (comes up a bit at the fold nearer the spine), and the cover doesn't easily fold round to the back. Hoping it'll improve over time. Does feel a tiny bit cheap but I've seen covers 3-4 times as expensive using the exact same material!
For £4 it's a bargain.
Edit: actually, new problem - nature of it covering bezel means it's harder than it should be to bring down the notification area. Still think it's worth £4 though, if you haven't got a case already. Wouldn't pay more than £6-7 for it!

Looks much cleaner with the bezel uncovered.

The folding problem does go away after a few days of use. I agree about the bezel. If the device clipped in it would be perfect.

Received 4 days ago as backup for treegloo (not received yet after a month)... Great case for the price, suggested!
It arrived with 2 scrren protector!

I just bought this one.

The Nexus 7 clips into this case without velcro as somebody mentioned earlier.
Also, the magnets are so strong I can hang my Nexus 7 on the side of a metal filing cabinet using this case.
