Looks the same except for the logo. I'm actually looking to find a different case. One that top loads when the case is vertical preferrably one that swivels.

No it is not the same, the seimens sx 66 lIMO is cheaper than the Q

It looks as though they can be swapped or are the dimensions different?

I completely understand. I think I have loaded the software I need for the moment. Tomorrow I plan to order a bluetooth headset and hopefully a USB sync/charger cable. Enjoy.

Has anyone seen/heard of a metal/aluminum case for the SX66? I got a very lightweight one for my SX56 and it has saved my butt a few times.

I've checked around to the eBay vendor that I bought the first one and some others, and no one has any plans for it.

Thanks in advance!

I think it will be hard to design a metal case for the SX66 because of the sliding keyboard

The only thing I'm not satisfied with are case options at the moment.

I bought the Piel Frama case and then returned it. I don't like the plastic that goes over the keyboard. I've heard that it stretches and becomes loose so that the SX66 can fall out, and I've also heard that it makes the keyboard itself loose, too.

No one seems to yet make a case specifically for the SX66 without the cutout for the camera. I don't want a hole in the back of my case for no reason. Hopefully someone will come up with a great case for this great device soon!

Check out this site for a hard case for SX66. It's from Hong Kong so the model is labeled as:

Brando WorkShop xda IIs/xda III/i-Mate PDA2k/Qtek9090 Metal Case

Here is the site for it.

http://shop.brando.com.hk/o2xda.php

I like it because it has the openings for the screen, speaker, and the shortkey buttons. Not to mention a slot to store your memory card. I ordered one and it's on it's way. I can't wait.

Many thanks in advance!

Sorry about that. The main site is http://shop.brando.com.hk/o2xda.php

I checked both links and I was able to access it just fine.

The pictures are a little small but hope you can view them alright.

I don't know what happen to my posted message that I posted this morning but it turns out that it's missing from this thread.

But here is the correct URL where the aluminum case is:
http://shop.brando.com.hk/o2xda.php

The product is:

Brando WorkShop xda IIs/xda III/i-Mate PDA2k/Qtek9090 Metal Case

http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwmetalcase_details.php?i=25

It cost $28 USD plus a $3 shipping. I think it's worth it when you take a look at this cool case. It has openings for the speaker, screen, and the shortkeys at the bottom of the SX66. Plus when you open up the case, there's a slot for a spare memory card and you can slide the pda open to access the keyboard, without taking it out of the case!!!

Forgot there might be a 2nd page to this thing. Not familiar with the forum yet. Forgive me.

No prob, thanks!!!

That is a sweet case. Do we have any reviews?

Posted by: jl768

All, I found out that the supplier for my current metal case (for my Siemens SX56) just came out with one for the SX66/XDAII Mini/HTC Magician/i-mate JAM/Qtek s100/MDA phones.

Here it is....

My current one has worked great, so I think this one will be too.

Good luck!

Personally, I would never put my cell phone in a metal case. It might protect it nicely but I'd be worried about the RF (and RF is what I do for living). I wish someone came out with a nice SX66 case

saznpins:

You said you purchased the Piel Frama leather case. Where did you find it? I'm having trouble finding one specifically for the SX66. I find them for the PDA2K, MDAIII, and XDAIII but not SX66. Are these other units the same dimensions as my SX? Did the case you bought have the hole in back for camera?

The only place I found for the SX66 is directly from Piel's website. They even have Ostrich and Croc skin cases. Nice!

Thanks!
