Centro Cases and Accessories

crogs571 · 10/06/2007, 09:33 AM

Updating this as much as possible. If you find anything, feel free to post so I can update the thread.
*Updated 12/22/07* Sorry it's been awhile. Lots of new things. More Seidio cases. PDAir has a nice aluminum case in black and silver along with lots of color options on their various leather cases. The leather skin case looks like a nice alternative to the Sena case. Finally a Centro specific charging cradle with spare battery charger. And there are now a plethora of these things available on ebay including generic silicone and crystal type cases.

Seidio 2 in 1 Stylus Pen

PLAY THROUGH CASES:

Injection Molded Holster. Search Ebay for "Centro Swivel Holster" and you'll find a few options, some for under $5.

Krusell Leather Skin Case w/Multidapt. Very nice w/many clip options

*Generic Silicone and crystal type cases are available on ebay for about $12 shipped or less. Can even make an offer on some. Just search "Centro Silicone", "Centro Protective" or "Centro Hard Case" and they will come up.

Sena was supposed to be the 3rd - then it changed to the 4th and now it has coming soon. I was laughing everyday when I'd go check and it kept changing.

I have gotten 2 Sena cases for my Treo and 1 casemate case for my iPhone. I got to say the casemate has much better fit and finish,
Plus it looks like a vaja case.

I would totally wait for the casemate version.

crogs571 · 10/08/2007, 04:10 AM

my sena case actually had the leather delaminate. I also thought the fit wasn't as tight as it should've been. The leather bar often went over the send/end buttons and I'd inadvertantly place or disconnect a call. Replacing it didn't help either. It was just the design of it. Actually placed a foam pad underneath the snap latch to push the phone down more in the case to alleviate the problem. I won't be buying the same type of design if I get a Sena.

Would be nice to see some sort of playthrough case available by the 14th. I hate pouch cases.

One nice thing is cheap cradles like the intec (sp?) should fit the Centro while it's in the case due to the smaller form factor. It should fit in the cutout nicely. So there should be more cheap cradle options for charging and syncing while in a case instead of the Seidio.

In additon to a holster of some kind, I'm waiting for extra batteries, external charger, and screen protector.

crogs571 · 10/15/2007, 03:55 PM

I'm sure Seidio will come to the rescue. Screen protectors you can easily cut down a larger one (at least temporarily). Just get cheap ones from Deal Extreme. They're only a couple dollars shipped.

And Sena is live with the Centro cases even though they are preorder only at the moment.

My priority of accessories for the Centro, which I hope we start seeing soon:

1. Beefed up battery
1. Replacement stylus (with or without built-in pen)
3. Protective case
4. Holster

crogs571 · 10/17/2007, 02:57 PM

I added the Smartphone Experts screen protectors to the list. I've also been in touch with ProClip about their cradles and a potential holster. I loved my i500 holster. Would think they could make a centro one that is play through capable.

Can't imagine why Palm would skimp on the stylus like that. Will see if my i500 one will fit when I get it.

Update the screen protectors to include the Seidio - they just released this week.

crogs571 · 10/17/2007, 04:27 PM

Updated with the Seidio protectors. Also threw in emergency chargers. Not Centro specific, but could be necessary to have around. Haven't seen anything on Boxwave's site yet.

Seidio is working on a full line of accessories for Treo Centro. It includes screen protector, stylus, holster, super thin rubberized case, batteries and more, if you would like to be notified when they are released, please send an email to Centro@seidio.com.

Seidio plans to release the swivel lock rubberized holster for Centro in the next few days.

Will post the links here as everything becomes available.

Is that swivel lock a spring clip or a removable swivel. Can't stand removable swivels. They add bulk and depth to a slim product, and it's a two part solution with the ability to leave the clip behind (like when tossing dirty scrubs and forgeting to take the clip of the pants...grrr). What happened to the days of fixed or racheting spring clips?

Our swivel clip is not removable and does rachet to several different locked positions.

Thanks

good to know. will be watching the link you sent me for new products. Thanks

Here are photos of the one case Sprint is selling for the Centro, a little to thick for me but some people might like it, I'll check the price and update when I get a chance

Carterism · 10/19/2007, 07:45 PM

muffnician,

is it out already for sale at sprint stores? if so, how much?

Muffnician · 10/19/2007, 07:47 PM

Should be, I'll let you know when I get back to the store.

Muffnician · 10/19/2007, 08:06 PM

$19.99 USD, most Sprint sore should have a few. The nub for the clip is removable to make the device more slim. About as a big as a 700p when its all said and done. It fits pretty tight.

Meistro · 10/19/2007, 08:26 PM

My local SSH (Sprint Store Hussie) tried to sell me that puppy, but I opted to go with Palm's Bodyglove case.

palmgal · 10/19/2007, 08:47 PM

I think I am going to get the sena flipper case. I had no problems with any of their other cases. I want something to protect the screen. I dropped a book on my 6700 & smashed the screen so I get nervous.
