Like many of you I bought a number of accessories for my P990 many months ago. This included a pouch style case from eBay. Now I find that the fit is okay but a bit snug. The tight fit means that the keyboard of the P990 even though it is locked the keys get pressed and the P990 screen switches on to inform you that the keyboard is locked! Now the keyboard backlight and screen stay on all the time as far as I can tell as one/two of the keys remain pressed - so the battery runs down. I have a TyTN and case for this seems to fit the P990 but again a little too tight. Anyone have any other suggestions for a pouch from another device that I could get hold of quickly?

Hi Jah,
IMHO you can't go wrong with a Krusell case they always give you full access to everything you need fit snugly and add virtually no bulk, plus IMO they look good and keep your unit in mint condition.

Jah, I have used a Krusell case for my p910 for over a year. superb quality, not a thread came loose. The only case I will even consider for my p990. go to krusell.com, it is the 'red label' case.

What about the original case from SE. I've used that for my P800 since i got it two years ago. Is it to small for P990?
Posted by Jah
I have come to the conclusion that a pouch type case can't be used with the P990 as any press of the keys will casue the backlight & screen to be activated. The Krusell case seems the bext option for now.

@Spawn

me i have the executive leather case from sony had it for 1 year and a half with my imac P910i, but still will fit the P990 which is comin...
its a nice case and even has a credit card pouch on the inside, so its a bit like a wallet but it also protects all around the corners!
rated 9/10!
Posted by MIK-3
I need a case, just like the original SE for the P910 but this time I need to be able to hook up the "wired" hands-free...
Posted by masseur
I guess thats another plus for TyTN (well... HTC derivative products in general actually) coming with a great case that is actually usable
I'm tempted to get the vertical krusell but it looks like all the ebay ones were sold today so I'll have to wiat for another listing

Shows that the TyTN is more complete package than the P990!
Edit: the Krusell vertical cases (custom for the P990) were pre-order items, saw that in the small print

I have managed to track down a krusell supplier in my country so will have the case soon even though only getting the phone next week...
Tried the horizontal type leather pouch but its such a fiddle getting the phone out.. with the vertical case can deal with phone and pouch one -handed ..
and the only scratches my p910 got wre from being in the other case ! The krusell one protects the entire phone corners and all ( helpful when dropping the phone into a handbag LOL yes I am a woman dont worry guys !!!
)

UK eBay has more of the custom Krusell cases for sale, see here
Posted by stallion
that krussell case has got a big flap on it!
imagine what it looks like when you answer a call with the flip open?!
Posted by p9nineo

I haven't found a suitable case yet.
I'm using a generic one I've had for a couple of years
Posted by p9nineo
mine already have scratches on it...
hurts so much 8(
Posted by masseur
I can believe that with such an expensive beast.
like I said, just go to a phone shop, or even a camera shop, and buy a generic case for now
Posted by mustu
are you guys sying that the phone ships with out a case ?
Posted by p9nineo
ya .... no case
Posted by masseur
yeah, thats not good for this class of phone, on the other hand the TyTN comes with a very good case
Posted by energetic
Links with pics?
Please...
Posted by Jah
As Masseur recommended, just a good camera case for now until the quality cases are available. If you're in the UK and you have a Currys Digital (aka Dixons) near you they do a UKP4.99 case by Swordfish which I have used for a while and is okay.
Since the FW upgrade I have not had the backlight on the keypad stay on when in a tight pouch but the magnetic closing flap does effect the P990 'sense of direction' a bit - gets confused between FO and FC.

The case linked at ebay looks nice IMO...
Posted by doctabako
I use the SE case but modified it a bit by removing the inner pocket as it's a tight fit with it in place. You also have to stretch it a bit to "enlarge" it. No problems with the backlight coming on.

Sorry, but i was away from esato for a few months. What is TyTN?
Posted by Residentevil
You can go always with the P900/910 cases.

Any Esato members staying near them can help to give them a call to see
when they will be launching the case?

a P990 compatible case available from doml.

I always prefered a case that covers the whole device and without a clip for the belt etc. I know many stories of devices falling in the concrete or in a near by pool, just like my friend lost his P900 in the past while he had attached on his belt!

i love vaja cases and was hoping they would make one for the p990, since they have made cases for the previous p-series phones. however, they're not going to!
here's the email reply i received today:
"At present that model is not in our immediate manufacturing plans.
Anyway, thank you very much for your interest in our cases
Best regards

Just got my Krusell P990 case . Its okay, but a bit tight in that the P990 seems a bit taller than the case allows. But with the new FC functionality the P990 is fine to use when in the case. Cut-outs okay, but this is obviously at the cheaper end of the market for cases.
EDIT: cut-away missing for the screen lock/hold button!

@Jah
congrats on your new case ( and phone ! )
Am still waiting for both myself ...allegedly arriving in the next week...
am a tad concerned about how you find the new krusell case...does it look cheaply made ? How does it compare to the equivalent p910 case - if you have seen that ?
I've been very happy with my p910 case and hope they haven't dropped their standards...
(BTW the flap on my p910 case also seemed a little 'short ' for the phone initially but being leather it stretched over a period of weeks to fit nicley )
Posted by Jah
@aqualung
I have a P910 case as well and the material and workmanship is similar. Just saying it feels cheap compared to cases I have had for my other devices from Piel Frama and Sena cases . Buth neither Sena nor Piel Frama make P990 cases at the moment.
Posted by Residentevil
I am using the Krusell case with the two belt loops. Case never comes loose and takes the abuse for the phone.

I'm using the SE leather holster that I got for my P800 years ago. Fits snugly. (Now my good old P800 is naked....)
