Good case for 8125/Wizard?
I finally got my 8125 yesterday and I have to say I love it! I have used the case that came with it which is a holster style case. I like this style case except whenever i pull the phone out a lot of keys are hit putting it into vibrate mode, etc. I'm willing to pay what I have to to get a good case, even one that the phone stays in when using. Any suggestions of good cases? I don't seem to be able to find many accessories for this phone yet.

There haven't been many out yet for the 8125, let me email a couple contacts to see if they are making one.

hmmm. i dont have any problems removing the phone from the OEM case. I really like the OEM case. It is such a great phone. Just wish GSM voice quality was better. Looking forward to WCDMA!

Try a Treo 650 Case!
I have an associate at work that has a Treo 650, and the case she has fits like a glove. It is similar in design to the OEM that comes with the T-Mobile MDA, so it works nicely, and looks a little classier...

I really liked the OEM case that came with it. Cingular did a nice job other than that you cannot charge/sync it without either moving the elastic to the side or removing it from the case. Not such a big deal as I like to keep an eye on new emails or calls that pop up.

I just ordered the red one for my QTEK 9100. I can not find their shipping information anywhere. Do you know what their shipping method is and approximately how long it takes to receive it?

Thanks

Thank you, I orderd mine last week Monday, it got shipped out on Wednesday and I received it yesterday. I am very happy with their service and the case quality. It does add a little bulk to it specially if its in my pocket but I can get used to it.

I was in a local T-Mobile store today, and lo and behold, they have a very nice Napa leather case for $19.99 plus applicable tax! The package calls it a...

"Napa Leather Horizontal Pouch W/ T-Mobile Logo"

And I believe the part number is

SUPA00124

The UPC Code is

7 38516 00124

It is a nice black leather case, with a leather interior. It fits the device perfectly. The big selling points for me were that it does not add a lot to the footprint, and that it has a magnetic flap, with no clasp to potentially damage the screen if you should keep it in your case with the screen facing your belt.

It has a very good feel to it, and it is real leather, not pleather like so many other vendors offer in their kiosks.

Enjoy...

I just bought an 8125 and am looking at case options. I found this one on eBay. It looks very interesting.

OEM case use
Have had my 8125 for a month now. I was putting it in the case screen away from my belt and when I'd reach down to pull it I would hit the volume button. I figured out if I put it in the case screen facing my belt and the top of the phone pointing behind me that when I pull it out by pushing up on the bottom from the front of the case that I have no problem getting it out and flipping around to answer it.

I did purchase this case from junred of GlobalSource. The design of the case is rather ingenious and works quite well. There is a bit of thickness added to the phone, but I find that to be an acceptable tradeoff for the fear I always had that I'd drop my 8125 taking it out of the standard case.

As I write this, I see there are none of these listed on eBay, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't have more.
