Need opinion on case/cover for 8125
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Apparently this thing is made out of butter because Ive dropped it already on day 2! I briefly looked around the net and found a few cases and covers but each had their downsides.

1) The aluminum cases are very nice, but from what I have heard it hurts reception?? Is this true? If not, can you recommend
a nice one?

2) Some cases dont even cover the corners (big issue for me). Not even interested in these.

3) The rubbery ones (which are my favorite since it covers 100% and seems quite thin) dont allow access to the keyboard. Do they make a nice skin that allows keyboard access?

Thanks!

I have mine temporarily in an old Sena Dell Axim x50v case. I still use my x50v. I'm still checking out the 8125 and haven't gotten anything on it yet, or even synched my contacts. I've been reading HOFO since before I got it. Just to make sure. It's a lot of trouble to get it all set up and then return it. So far though, I love it. Will probably replace my x50v.

The case doesn't fit perfectly, but the holes are close enough that I can pull out the stylus, use the buttons, cover the screen with the flap (magnetic). Can't use the keyboard with it in the case, but I couldn't with the one that came with the phone either. At least I can use it in this case as a phone and if I drop it, it will be protected!

I'm anxiously awaiting case ideas also. I want one that I don't have to remove the case to use the keyboard too.

I believe there is a Krusell case for the wizard.

Isnt the Krusell a big leather thing that flaps open?

I liked this one. Just waiting for one that will fit my MDA.

Hmm, now your talking. ANyone using this one? I already have a gouge out of the corner and wanted it not to be visible. This covers it, but is clear

. I wonder if they have colored ones?

If anyone orders that clear one from Ebay let me know. I like the clear plastic shell but I'd like a report first.

I have a black alluminum case that I will give you a good deal on.

(What you should know about it, it keeps opening when it is bumped, my 8125 has fallen out several times and is scratched really badly, also when it fell out of the case I lost a 2 gb mini sd card, and a stylus.)

Just PM me if you are interested.

I got this Krusell case for my 8125 and love it! Fits really snug, and I now see why Krusell hypes their multidapt clips. Good stuff!

Like the OP, I was worried about having a case that might let rain onto my baby if I was outside. This one seems to cover enough to the point where I won't worry as much

Ok I freaking love you!!!! (in a non-weirdo internet way) I've had my 8125 since 6-19 and I have YET to find a case that meets my specs which happen to be THOSE specs! THANK YOU!
All I wanted something that wasn't metal, didn't flap open in any direction (think about walking while using it and that damn thing flapping around) and one that just protected it enough from wear and tear and did not limit access to anything!

Thank you! After I order I will post a review.
