Krusell Case: Great Quality, But.....
Please Login to Remove!
Search and search and search did I.....for a specific type of case for my BB7100t. I thought I found the perfect solution in the Krusell "Horizontic+ S-Wide," but was a bit dissapointed.
Perhaps I've been WAY too fussy, but I have been seeking two distinct features in a case:
1) Horizontal form factor. I dislike vertically-oriented belt cases, especially when one has to stand and sit many times during the course of a day. Vertically-oriented cases strain the belt clip and case and also feel uncomfortable when sitting.
2) A very positive method of securing the case that makes it very difficult for the case to slip off one's belt.
I wanted to find a case with a locking belt clip or a clip that has a "hook" in the end that grips the lower edge of a belt. An alternative would be loops through which a belt could pass, and ideally, a case with both a clip (for rapid mounting and removal) and belt loops (for added security when desired) would be perfect.
I thought I found such a case in the Krusell Horizontic+ SiWide #95184. This case not only has a belt clip, but it also has a belt loop function which allows the loops to be opened and the case removed without having to unbuckle your belt to withdraw the case! Great idea! However, I was dismayed to find two flaws that prompted me to immediately return the case to the vendor: it does NOT have an internal magnet to activate the device's "sleep" function, and the case size is actually larger in width than needed for the BB7100t (too wide). The Krusell website lists this case as the proper fitment for the BB7100, and I assumed that it would have the sleeper function since it was presented as proper for the BB. These Krusell cases are excellent in constuction and versatility, and I could probably live with the case being a bit larger than necessary, but I'm wondering if any of their cases have a sleeper-triggering magnet for BBs.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Geeze...guess I'm being really picky!
There ya go...for what it's worth.
