P900 Case

Bassey · #1 24-11-2003, 03:18 PM

I don't suppose the P800 cases fit the P900 properly do they?

One of the biggest expenses with the P800 was that, not only did I fork out over £500 for the phone, but then another £40 for a case, £65 for a MSDuo, £10 for a screen protector. Not to mention all the software etc.

Obviously most of the software can be moved over and the DUO can be used again, but another £50 for a case and screen protector on top of the asking price would hurt!

Do Piel Frama do a P900 specific case yet?

The SE P800 original (beltclip pouch) case fits fine...the Kreusel case (beltclip pouch) fits but is a bit loose...I tried another (can't remember the name) where the phone syays in the case and you unclip it to use whic also fits fine...

I guess that's a round about way of saying that the cases fit!!!!

Cheers

My buddy Ruben at Piel Frama is releasing a P900 case in about 30 days.. I asked him to tighen up the slots on the sleeve because people were losing their mem sticks... Anywho, no big difference other then a slot for the memory stick entrance.. Check it out here..

This might be a little off topic, but in order not to lose the MSduo's in the p800 Piel Frama case, I simply inserted the small plastic cover (that comes with the 16MbDuo in the SE box) into the MSduo-hole in the leather. When you then insert your duo into the plastic sleeve, it will have a tighter fit.

Not when you have to take the phone out of the case to utilize it.. These cases allow one to keep the phone inside the case at all times during usage.. The reason why that might be helpful is in the case the phone slips out of your hand and falls. If you take it out of the case and it falls then you risk your phone breaking.. My phone has slipped out of my hands numerous times while using it, but luckily it was in the case at the time...

I bought my phone from CPW UK, it came with a case.

Don't they all, it was packed inside the box which was sealed and it has a Sony Ericsson label on the inside!!!!

Yes all packages come with a SE P900 case.. However, I don't believe most have been fans of the generic SE cases.. The importance to me at least is that I have a case that allows me to use the phone while the phone remains in the case. Most may not consider this a necessity, but with any fully enclosed case the phone is only protected when the phone is in the case.. Prior to getting my case I actually have had the phone slip out of my hand after pulling it out the case.. I was fortunate that the phone didn’t suffer damages, but a lot of others have not been so lucky.. An incident happened like that just as recently as 2 weeks ago.. My girlfriend pulls here P800 out of the case in the store to place a call and next thing you know I see the phone flying in the air and smacks right into the floor.. I learned my lessons about keeping the phones protected only some of the times.. With my open access case though I do have to admit that I have dropped it on occasion while placing a call, but at least it was protected by the padding of the case.. A full enclosure case is not different then simply keeping your phone in your pocket… It’s protected ONLY when you are not using it.. Being that this particular phone has a PDA functionality chances are you will handle the phone more then any other mobile phone because of that feature.. So that means you leave your self with more chances to drop it or whatever…
Something worth considering when choosing a case to protect your P900…
You’ll notice in the pic below that there is open access to the P800 while its still in the case…That amount of coverage displayed in the pic while the phone is being accessed makes a world of difference if your phone was to suddenly slip out of your hands.

Didn't anyone notice the handy little strap that came with the P900. If you put this round your wrist while handling the phone then if it does slip you don't drop it.

It saves the bulk of having a case around the phone - it's big enough already.
