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..

Hi there !
Any news of your photos of your leather case ?
Pls post some for all Athenians to see , thanks and regards -
jimmunsw
today i see a great product. a side flip leather case with bt keyboard inside,
it is design for hd2 specially. the keyboard cannot be taken out n use mini usb to charge
i think this will be super for my leo!!
however i still get a hold on it because
1. its a bit heavy when i put my leo inside
2. the leather case is very old fashion
3. it is a bit expensive @hkd400
i hope more manufacturer will use this idea to make more similar product
any photos?
If this is not a joke, could you please post a link? That would be great...
Link please?

Closest I found so far:
http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?i...8&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&sa=N&ndsp=18&tbs=isch:1
'Ultra-slim Credit Card-Sized Bluetooth Keyboard
"Similar to the Freedom Mini Bluetooth keyboard, this Freedom Slim keyboard lets you add qwerty input to non-qwerty phones—the iPhone, perhaps?
The keyboard itself has Moto RAZR-ish design, including blue or orange backlight and magnetic pads to go with its included case. It's good for 4 hours of use and 100 hours standby and can be recharged via mini USB. May not be useful for most people, but great for those who do a lot of texting." Via Gizmodo.

I love the idea of the keyboard intergrated into the case. Well done to KDenilson for finding the link. I've e-mailed the company for cost/ordering info. I'll post the info once I hear back if someone hasn't already done so.

this case/keyboard combo would be great. I'm very interested in this. Let us know if you get a reply back about ordering information. I'm already missing my touch pro qwerty, but love the screen size on this hd2. this case, keyboard combo would be the perfect solution. I just hope it won't hurt battery life too much.
Cool idea. Reminds me of my old Athena with the magnetic keyboard.
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 researched 4u-mobi and they seem reliable , some guys here in the htc hd forum have already purchased from them and received their products.
Well i am gonna buy one and write a review for you guys.
+1 on paypall being idiots.
This is a awesome stand! I shall purchase one after im done saving for my Nikon D300
i just received this stand.here is a little review:
the +ve
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.
the -ve
I bought it from here
http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_detail.php?pid=5415
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.
I am attaching some pics
Very nice gonna order 2 of those, and thanks for the review.

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...
3 weeks...
I ordered this on Apr 22nd and still haven't received it. I emailed them and they actually replied back the next day with a tracking #. Shipped May 4th and will take 10-14 days from HK.

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)
Hey guys,
hope you can help me out by sharing your experience with me. I'm currently trying to find a good device holder for my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. I'm planning to use it on my bike for sport cycling trips.
Do you have a list of recommendations for a good device holder? Which products do you use?
I'm interested on this thread too. How can I get the Xperia on my bike?
OtterBox 1900
I've made a test, in Portuguese, with a few more images, at PocketPT.net forum.
Hope it's allright to post the link, as it is in PT, and certainly not a contender to xda.
If not, Mods are wellcome to remove it.
Nice report, vmiguel: just how energetic can you get with your mountain biking and your Xperia on the handlebars? Is the xperia made to absorb such vibratin?
And does the protection create visibility problems with the reflection of the sun?
Well... it's all in the test, really... but not everybody reads Portuguese, eh?
OtterBox has a proper bike suport to attach this case, but I do not have it. Instead, I use the original hand/arm neoprene band around the handle bar. It stays there *almost* all the time. Only in really bad terrain it tends to rotate downwards. But never falled out of the bike.
Regarding vibrations, the case isolates the pda from them. The pda sits between a neoprene band that forces it to the rubber screen. The pda does not touch any hard part. So, no problem there.
The rubber screen works well, but surely creates a visual barrier, but nothing major. Can not eat the cake and keep it also, right? For touch operations, it's pretty good.
Maybe you can try google translation on the test, it will not be 100% right, but maybe enough.
Anyway, I'll try to answer here any specific questions about it.
Thanks for your help, will take a closer looks at Otterbox. It looks really heavy.. how much is the weight approximately?
0,32 kg
the bicycle mount i use for my experia
if you need something advanced this one is good too, tested it, xperia fits into it the case is waterresistant its from ortlieb if you need one you can contact me we own a bicycle store and sell both models i prefer the first one cause i never go biking when it rains and i'm able to use the touchscreen while this is not possible with the ortlieb case
I can back up how AWESOME the OtterBox has been for me, I've had a couple for my work when I was a bike courier.
As a bike courier I would go through hell and back, several times a day! Never ever ever had water troubles, or even shock damage! And I've been run over by cars, trucks, buses more often than I've had hot meals! No problem, get up and brush myself off and it is still working fine! Not even a crack in the case.
The case is very lightweight, adds nothing really to the weight... just bulk. I'd strongly recommend not getting the one linked to earlier.
Get the smallest you can, I've used this:
otterbox.com/pda-cases/1600-series/1600-gps-cases/ (can't post links as a new member, but you know what to do.... ctrl-c ctrl-l ctrl-v enter)
(although I was using a PDA about double the size of the Xperia X1, and I still had heaps of space. Good for keeping the spare battery then packing in the rest of the space with sponge cushioning to keep it safe from crashes)
I'd wear it on a medium length single loop over my shoulder and across my chest, then clip the case to it. Would just hang there out of the way until I decide to flick it up with my hand to look at it.
Hey everybody!
I go by Tactus Texas over at notioninkhacks.com and I am an electronics manufacturer and an Adam enthusiast. I have the capability to produce cases with my manufacturing partners but I want to get the communities input first before I take anything to production.
What do you want in a case for your Adam? My current idea is that of a "second skin" a thin and light hard case that will be always on your adam and will cover everything while leaving access to ports, the camera, and the display/buttons. I want to be clear your input is going towards a real product that I hope to bring to market within the next few weeks provided we manage to get Notions blessing to go ahead.
Chime in and have your say as to what it should be, if anything, this project will only happen with community support!
- TactusTexas
If you interested in being put on this list to be notified when pre orders start go to the notion ink hacks website and look under the accessory section and submit your information!
I'm expecting my NI very soon and as a casing I think I would opt for something of a hard leather casing I could fold open as a book, interface ports available of course and easy to slide out to show of in full and home usage.
two types of cases i really enjoy are:
1. leather case that can be used as a stand too like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Acoustics-IC-1000BK-Leather-Cover/dp/B0042BVSF4/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1295661437&sr=8-7
if you could make a magnetic strip that run from top to bottom or left to right to latch it close that would be fantastic
2. Or a soft gel like this one
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Argyle-Gloss-Samsung-Google/dp/B004FPZBSC/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&qid=1295661879&sr=8-35
hate the hard shell pastic cases.
whatever the skin, it should be thin and easy to grip
I like the leather case idea with folding cover like a book. I also like the hard case idea. I currently have a seidio rugged case on my incredible, I like the protection a hard case provides. Maybe a hard case with a leather folding cover. Put me on the pre-order list please.

I want a leather case that will hold a keyboard or a pocket for a small foldable bluetooth keybard.
Hey guys, sorry for my absence here I've been around on NIH and Notion Addicts working with the community on the case! We are now preparing our first prototypes, we weren't able to go with leather (right away) but we are working on solutions for that as well! You can expect to see some shots of it by the end of the week I think you guys will definitely like it!
We will also be producing color strips here very shortly!
Love the idea and agree with what you want. I would add some protection for the camera though. Maybe a Velcro strap or strip that can be removed or folded back.

Hey guys,
Tactus Texas here with more good news today on the Project Stealth front! So many people have been asking when is it coming, what does it look like etc and while I can't answer all your questions I can at the very least tell you guys that we are working at full steam to get this done for everyone. Starting a new project of this scale is hard work but those of us here at NIH and our manufacturing partners are working very quickly to get things ready. We took a slight change in our internal goals for the product, we want it to be as sleek and stylish as possible but our secondary goal is to make it as rugged as possible.
With this in mind you will see a final design that cradles your adam in a soft silicon but surounds it in a very hard plastic so you get shock absorption and a sturdy exterior to defend against the bumps and bruises of every day life. You will also have the option of using a removable screen cover that you can clip to the front of the device with ease as you throw it into a bag without worrying that your screen won't come out the other side. You can also expect a great integrated kickstand as well!
In short we are doing everything we can to get this product to our fellow adamites as we've been called as soon as possible. You can expect to see official renders here at NIH and you can rest assured you will be able to see review units in the hands of your favorite Notion fan sites before you have to bite the bullet and pull the trigger on an order.
Stay tuned, more info will begin to come in at a faster rate, also stay tuned for Project Stealth to evolve into a line of Notion Ink products to cover all of your needs to make this great device even better.
Thanks everyone, keep spreading the word, it is the community that will decide if we go to full production!

On a secondary note how would you guys feel about an extended battery as well? And also any particular favorites for color strips?

If the thing really lasts 10+ hours, I don't see my self wanting to carry around the extra weight of an extended battery (at least not directly in a case).

Thats one of the things we have tried to take into consideration, we do think that there are power users who are planning to use this device in an outdoor environment for long periods of time without access to a charge, that's what we are going for on creating an extended battery solution. We do know that option won't appeal to many users so we are keeping that as an R&D for now. For now what we are working on wont actually be integrated into a case, it would ship as an extension for the existing battery compartment but in a way that wouldn't disrupt the unique grip of the adam.
I appreciate all the feedback here and around the web so keep it coming, we really are listening!
I would like a leather case. with a folding design that acts as a stand. and an integrated bluetooth keyboard. Ive seen this design before for an ipad in Brookstones gadget store in my local mall.
Hey number01pup, we won't be launching with leather or keyboard at launch but rest assured we are working on it! I hope to be able to announce something on that front in the coming month. If not leather a keyboard equipped case is definitely in the works.
charger/extra battery for adam
I would be interested in this kind of charger/extra battery, which would store electricity into normal AA cells. Solar panel would be nice too since I like to take my laptop with me when I go cycling for longer trips.
Unfortunately I can't post a link here because I'm a new user but if you add the www and the dots this is what the url looks like:
mark-ju net/bike_ride/equipment/charger htm
Does anyone know if such products are commercially available?
It would be ideal for my adam.
Battery life
people over at notionaddicts are not reporting anything near 10 hours of battery life. So extended or better quality batteries might be in demand.
Hate the hard shell cases. Something with leather would be good.
Some color or texture that you can use in the sun.
I know that right now most of you do not have this problem, but this summer you will. Flat black, or shiny, in the sun gets hotter than he__! Just today in Florida after an hour I could barely hold my Lenovo/Pixel Qi netbook and could not even think about using the touch pad.
