TG50 Sleeve/Belt Clip

[pdbgrafx]

Any reccomendations on a protective sleeve that has a belt clip built in? I'd like something that fits snug, is cushioned, and has pocket for a memory stick. I'm not looking for a case that wraps around the device, but rather something that I can slip the device into. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for something like that as well. More like a holster or snug pouch to hold the unit on the belt.

I kinda want a case for my tg now, not for protection but to add a little bulk at the back of the keyboard. i find myself having diffifulties holding it coz its too thin and the kboard is too low. the spacebar is almost on the edge.

any good leather case suggestion?

It fits the TG50 perfectly, has a pocket for memory sticks and has a very strong steel belt clip. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Actually, I have switched from a Pocket PC (Toshiba e335) to a TG-50, and I use the belt case I had for my Toshiba. The case has a swivel clip and fits the TG-50 perfectly.

When you say "perfectly", how perfectly do you mean? I bought a Targus "universal" case based on another user saying that the TG50 fit, but was disappointed. There's about a half an inch of extra thickness because the TG50 is so slender. Ideally I like to take the flip cover off when using the holster as it's redundant. How does the TG50 fit in there without the flip? Is it snug, or does it wiggle?

Regarding the Ripoffs holster, the link shows a NZ/NX series PDA which are taller than the TG50. Isn't this case too long, shouldn't I go for something that fits something the size the T-series as described on thier site? It seems the dimensions are a better fit. Also, where does the memoery stick pocket located?

I'm using this case right now, and it works great. Fits the TG50 like a glove, but has no slots for MS. I'd like something like this, but with pockets. Maybe the Sony case for the NZ90? but with a belt clip

The TG50's size is listed as 5.0" x 2.8" x 0.63" and the Targus case's device compatibility lists 4.88" x 3" x .65" . Is there any concern with the 0.12" of additional length? Does the flap still close correctly.

[nekrataal]

the case closes fine, but it does block the headphone jack somewhat. Its much easier with a "L" shaped plug, than a straight plug. the flap is velcro, so you can get creative as far as how it will stay closed. go to compUSA and play with 'em

dacmo, i saw that at bestbuy. the belt swivels. the TG50 fits tightly but may loosen up as you use it. its pretty decent...does it come in black?

Actually, with the flip cover it is a perfect fit. Very little wiggle back and forth (side to side, maybe a quarter inch if you shake the case), the height is just right so no bounce in the case. The headphone jack is in the clear, as well as the IR port and the bluetooth light. The top clip on the case just covers up the memory stick so it cannot "pop" out. The back of the case has two slots for secure digital cards, and I carry a spare memory stick in one. The memory stick is taller, but it doesn't fall out.

Yea, that's the one I got too, but I find it's way too bulky. The leather is really thick and sturdy, good for protection, but aesthetically, I feel like a dork with this massive pouch hanging off my belt. It feels about 2 times as large as my old Blackberry case, which was truly a snug, glovelike fit for that piece of junk Blackberry.

I liked the convenience of the Blackberry case's flap-free top too. With the Targus case, every time I'm on the subway, taking out my TG50, its a hassle to rip (RRRIPPP!) open that velcro flap and contort myself to take out the TG50 without feeling like I'm groping the person beside me. And it's so damn thick, I'm constantly knocking against it's side edge on my arm rest, or a door frame. If I cover it up with my shirt or jacket, I look like I have a huge hip tumor. In my mind the TG50 is a sleek device, and I'd like a holster that is only a little thicker than the TG50 without the flip-cover, and makes it easy to remove the TG50 to check my email and such. The leather should be thick enough to prevent injury to the device from a fall, but not bulletproof thick like the Targus. Just my opinion :-)
