Rugged case for the XDA

Hi all,
just wondering if anyone has come across a protective case for the XDA. The sort of thing I want is rubber not leather............
any ideas
Thanks

I saw some in an outdoor shop and will probably get myself one as soon as I can find the time to go there again.
They were meant to be used for digital cameras or portable audio players I think. They were at least rainproof, (one even claimed to be submergible!) I think they would provide the shelter required for carrying the device around in everyday use. The only problem is that you'll have to get the XDA out of the case to actually use it.
Martin

Thanks
Hi Martin, thanks for the reply.
I have found a case similar to what you have described at www.ruggedpeak.com. they seam a little expensive bur probably cheaper than a new XDA !!

XDA Hard Case
O2 sell a hard case for the XDA - It's a metal case lined with foam, that clips over the XDA and makes it pretty much shock proof - I have one, and it's GREAT!

its made by proporta.com bluddy ace case my old metal case but scrapes on my ols 32mb xda but this proporta case it fits nicely on the xda and holds it in wicked + u can answer the phone without having to undo it and you can even use the conectors and charge aswell

what if i have the external battery? do they make one that fit such a thicker device? i LOVE the way this case looks... alot nicer than that other aluminum case i found on ebay.

Hi people Ive found a cheap and very strong case for our device.
See this link here http://www.outdoortrends.de/index.html?d_DE_39622_700_Deuter_Handytasche_Phone_Case_M6646.htm
Ive used the s model(antanna hanging out) for 1 year but its a tight fit thus heavy pulling of the zip every time to close it and it has survived a year of this treatment and still not a tear and only some paint came off the zipper.
They now have the M model which fits the Xda perfectly totally enclosing it. It offers no protection but the thing I like about this case is I can wear it horizontally on my belt with the screen facing inward and thats very comfortable.
If you see it in an outdoor store give it a try its cheap enought

Hey guys...i bought a similar case on ebay... Similar to This. The concept was great, it is lined with a nice padded feltish. materal but the closing latch did a huge number on my phone. Luckily (Ironicly) my screen $hit the bed, and T-Mo is replacing the phone for me.. My words of advice, find out what their return policy is on the merchandise and if you don't like it see if you could exchange it for something different. I didn't do that and I am stuck with my case
I would be willing to sell it for $25 (buyer pays shipping) to someone that deoesn't have paint on their XDA. I didn't like it because I like my stuff always looking new. anyone interested PM me.

is that the case which doesnt have button holes and covers the whole phone with the airel sticking out the hole at the top.
i had one of these on my 1st xda and ti made a horrible mark near my ariel and the catch scuffed up all the side and it kept popping open and all.
the PROPORTA one is a hell of a lot better that kept my 64mb XDA mint as and still looks mint today not a scrach on it just fingerprtints all over the screen and sides lol.
get the proporta one much better then that other metal case.
gaz

I totaly agree the Proporta case is a little gem they on eBay I expect thats where I picked mine up from

Thanks! Very nice. Unfortunately they close at 5 on sundays so I'll have to wait. I will just use a razor and cut out a slot for the charger port.

Sweet, just what i have been waiting for!

Supposedly the T-Mobile in Nampa ID will be getting them tomorrow so it may just be a waiting game depending on where you are located.

they had them here in tampa,fl thursday when I went in.

They also had them here at the T-mobile in Georgia today..if i decide to keep mine i want one

Just picked mine up @ T-mobile here in Delaware

Just picked on up in Oklahoma City. Has a nice feel to it.

Got mine in San Antonio, it was the only one in the store.

just my opinion
went real quick on my lunch to check the case out and i didnt like it at all. its flimsy and kinda ugly and 40 bucks is over priced for this. i say go to best buy and pick up the targus case thats made for nooks/kindles, fits perfectly and looks better and way more durable. the lady at tmobile couldnt even make it stand up lol

I have a case for my nook color and it doesn't fit at all. Yup, 40 bucks is waaay overpriced, but since there is no other option right now, it's 40 bucks or a broken Streak. I can't believe T-mo won't offer insurance on it.

Agree 100%. I bought the T-Mobile version and it is way overpriced for what it is. A pooorly constructed (you can see leather glue on all the corners and folds), ill-fitting (the buttons are hard to touch sometimes because of the leather overlap on them), badly engineered (no opening for charger), piece of junk excuse of a case. I returned it when I found the Targus case for Nooks/Kindles sold at BestBuy that opens up into portrait mode like a reporter's notepad. It is extremely well built, the materials are top notch, the fit is great, and I can charge it while it's in the case. I'm done looking for cases.

Fabric sleeve for Droid 4?

I've been using a fabric sleeve, left over from an old XV6800, with my Droid 2. Kept the phone looking like new. I've picked up a D4 to replace it but it doesn't quite fit in the old sleeve.
I'm wondering, does anyone make a similar sleeve that would fit the D4? This is not a bag and I don't want that sort. It's a fabric sleeve, with a stitched seam around it and an open pocket into which the phone slides. No velcro, clasps, drawstrings or any other kind of closure.
I generally prefer not to put cases on a phone, and usually don't even bother with a screen protector. I hate holsters (more than one phone got dropped when the holster caught on something). So being able to sleeve it and put that into my pocket has worked well for me. The D4 being a big bigger is still reasonable for my pockets (barely).
I just need to find a similarly protective sleeve that'll fit the Droid 4. Any suggestions?

Bump. All those reads and no ideas?
What other phones are closest in size to the D4? Might be able to find something that way.

Well, I have no experience with what you're describing. Maybe if you post a picture or a link?

This thread shows that the D4 is extremely close in size to the Droid X, so that might be a historical baseline.

Fits perfectly:

Don't use it though. I've wrapped mine in Best Skins Ever. I use the Mofi for my camera.

I'm still using the "fabric" sleeve that was meant for a Droid Pro. Its black, and has MOT's, VZW's, and Google's logos on it. It has a draw string to close the open end too, but I never use it.
I used the sleeve on my Droid 3, and now I am using it on my Droid 4. Fits either perfectly.
I got the sleeve for free from a Motorola rep, when they were at my local Verizon store. They had a whole box of them, they were giving away (one per person).

I'd prefer to get one without a drawstring or other closing feature. Here's a picture of the one that came with my ancient XV6800:
It's sort of an ultrasuede kind of material. It's held up quite well for being more than 5 years old. I can use it with the D4 now but the phone sticks out about 1/2". The nice part is I can slide the phone in/out of the sleeve while it's in my pocket. The point here is it protect the phone without interfering with regular use. All 3 phones I've used with this still look brand new, no scratches or wear anywhere on them. This without having to add a screen protector or attached case.

The one I use, has a built-in screen wiper (made of some really soft material). It wipes the screen each time you pull the phone in or out.

Don't laugh... Find a local Quilting shop. My mother is a quilter and just about every store I've ever taken her to has had several different sized sleeves "similar" to what you are looking for. I believe they were pattern sleeves or something like that.

from the photo you can see theres a strip of faux leather that i've been able to clip a stylus to also it is magnetic so if there is a smart cover type thing going on im getting in on the ground floor but this really was a "woop woop im getting a nexus" purchase.
including a few more pics can't say for sure but the stylus may fit in the stem of the cover even when closed
again can't be sure until i get the device
here are a few more pics
stylus came with a ebay bag of accessories for my sgs2
several lessons from this experience
one: never buying an non nexus device
two: never buying that device from google!

LMAO nice case! Not my style since I don't like the bezel on my tabs being covered, but at least that one looks cool.
My boss finally got his N7 today after preordering last month. I walked into Sams Club on Monday and picked one up LOL

So this is a Galaxy tab 7 case or a generic 7" case?

Says it's specific to the n7 but won't know for sure until an n7 actually graces it with its presence

Don't mock the case! I have one and it fits my Nexi™ perfectly. They have the new pics up now of it with an actual Nexus 7 in it rather than a photo shop job.
And the magnet thing works like a charm putting my Nexi™ to sleep.

iOttie Car dock, not bad for $20

Got myself a cheap temporary dock for my Note 2 until I get the ProClip one in a month or two (waiting till after xmas). Found this one on Amazon for a nice $20. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FH716W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I like it so far. Very stable and has a good range of motion to it. No vibrations at all, (does start shaking a little bit when doing 150).
Also works nicely to hold it as a dash camera.
Also holds my phone with no problem with the Body Glove case on it.
Oh and that white square isn't part of it. Thats one of my NFC tags to start Waze and CoPilot whenever I put it in the dock.
Feel free to ask any questions and I'll answer them as best I can.
Anyway, here's some pictures:

This dock is technically one of those "universal ones", but it works well because of the spring loaded lock.
When you press the phone in, it hits this little button and snaps the side grips closed on your phone.
Then once they are closed, to release, just press these two and it unlocks the phone.
And nice thing is, because of how you have to release it, the phone will fall into your palm and you can just grab and go.

thanks for posting this, looks like a nice mount, the only thing i wish it had was a built in microusb cable to automatically start charging without me having to connect it lol

+1 for STi
/highfive

The nice thing is that it will grab textured dash just as well. Mine has been on my dash for over a week and it is not losing it's grip.

Do the holders at the bottom block the mic?

Thanks for the pics and the review, I've been looking for a cheap dock. The phone falls out of the cubby holes in my car's dash. lol

can you show a picture with the arms at their WIDEST with the phone in it ? IE how much "wider" can it go? (my cases add a lot of bulk to the phone)

I don't know why you guys buy car dock for. Its big and ugly. Its always in the way. It looks like a cawk sticking out from the windshield. Its best to get a 1 inch rubberband and 3 dollar case and modify it. I had it done on my sg2. I'm waiting on my case and will post pictures later.

because in order to use the phone case as a dock you need to use the phone SANS CASE and that is not acceptable to me
as for why a dock? thats easy. fumbling with the phone while driving is a good way to die and possibly kill others ie don't do it.
dock makes it convenient. Slip Grip made a case for the impact case I use for the S3 hopefully they will make an impact case for the Note II and hopefully slip grip will make a grip for the Note II in the impact case

Newegg has this one on Black Friday special for $10 with coupon code BLKFRIDAY27. I wish I live in the States
Sorry, the $10 with coupon is for the iPhone model, the one for Note 2 is $25 and am not sure if the coupon code applies.

Your bulky case couldn't possibly be bigger than this behemoth:
There is still a couple of mm on each side so it wil accomodate even an otterbox defender is my guess.

actually that's what I call a slim case the cases I use feom case ology are quite a bit thicker in both thickness and width
Though this jelly tank korean case I got today is pretty impressive
