SDA Cover/Case

[ufkydpnr]

Does anyone know a good cover or a case for the T-Mobile SDA (with hump)
I hate the fingerprints and smudges that go over the screen as soon as you touch it. The case comes with the phone is OK but need better sleeve for it.

Piel Frama has one

As much as I love Piel Frama, and use their leather case for my Axim, I am not planning to get anything that fancy for the phone. The case that came with it works fine for that, I just need something to fit snuggly and just cover the phone when it is in my pocket.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't think this case will work with the USA version with the hump. I've searched everywhere for a fitted case for my 2125 (also with the hump) but no luck yet. I know you said this was more than what you were looking for but thought I would mention it just in case. I could be wrong but I think this is for the non-hump SDA.

Thanks for the heads up.
I also found that Boxwave's flexi skins look very good on SDA, but they do not fit the humpy one either. They only have SDA without Hump.

I contacted JavoEdge again last night. They said there will be a skin available for the 2125 by the end of April but did not have an ETA on the SDA (hump) yet as it was still in the designing stage. At least we have someone who will be making cases for these phones.

Hello... I found a leather case that isn't specific to the USA version of the SDA, it's designed for the non-hump version.

The case has an open top though, and is a perfect fit otherwise -- great for pocket protection and doesn't add much bulk to the phone. While the hump sticks out on the top, all the holes match up.

You can't tell from the picture, but it doesn't have plastic covering over the screen -- a plus for me as I have a screen protector decal in place. There is clear plastic over the keyboard and music buttons, but not the softkeys.

The hump might get scratched up a bit, but it's the perfect case while we wait for Krusell to come up with something better :)

Just saw a Case designed for the TMOBILE USA SDA from www.fortte.com. They are following soon with a Cingular 2125 version as well. I have one en route and will be posting results and opinion upon arrival. They have a lateral style as well as a vertical pouch style with clear plastic front, something to fit most everyone's taste. One feature I have observed is the optional spring steel belt clip. I have never, personally, been a fan of the removeable swivel clip, so this caught my attention right off the bat. You prefer no clip at all? No problem, they have that option as well. Stay tuned for some in hands reviews!!

second one looks like the one that comes with the t-mobile box, so I wonder if anyone will buy that, but first one looks like a good idea, protecting screen, but these things tend to collect a lot of lint in pocket, so you have to periodically remove and clean edges.

The Fortte's look good, but the fit 'n finish, at least from the photos at their web site, doesn't look nearly as good as the Krusell. The open face is perfect when combined with a screenprotecter decal-- the holes at the top aren't round-punched, they're the same shape as the openings and stitched around (same with the side and bottom openings). Snug fit, easy to get in -- once in place it aint budging :)

The plastic over the keypad is great and doesn't interfere with the use of the phone at all.

When the clip is off, the back surface is flat -- no knob or anything -- would prefer nothing at all, but they've designed it well.

The only drawback, zero protrection for the hump. The silver actually looks good protruding out the top -- but a fall on a hard surface will definitely scratch it up.

The other Krusell case for the SP5m has full plastic on the front, and zips shut.
