I have been using this case for my ipaq3150 for a few months now. Works great. It has good amount of foam padding and paper padding(?) so it feels rigid yet gives enough cushion.I have actually used 3 pockets inside of the case, but it's nice to have them just in case I receive a business card or something like that. One thing that I don't like is that It draws shadow on my ipaq when I put it inside the case it's sometimes hard to read what's on my ipaq especially indoors at night. |
| This case slides smoothly into and out of your pocket. You can take it out, flip it open and it's ready to use right there like a Star Trek tricorder...or those old communicators from TOS...whatever! The case is very plushed up for your PDA's protection. You could probably drop it and your PDA won't break. WAIT! I'm just kidding. I don't know that and I have not tried it...Don't do it! Anyway, it is very plush and snug and it will protect your PDA to a certain degree. It'll prevent scratches...wait, let me rephrase that. Scratches will be at a minimum, dust will collect at a minimum, it'll resist water to a certain degree (I mean you can probably run through rain and the case could protect it, but if you take a swim with it...it's over). Unfortunately, it's not bulletproof. What more can I really say? A pouch is a pouch. This one works great. Oh, the bad sides to it... For some PDA's, you may have to kind of shift the PDA into the pouch like 1 centimeter to the left because it won't fold perfectly with the stylus on the right, top section of the pouch, meaning the stylus will fold onto the top of your PDA when you close it and it'll kind of bulge out...may not be such a great idea for the display screen, too. OH, I would advise people not to place any hard or sharp object into the pockets it provides because when you fold it shut, obviously it'll touch your PDA screen and...you may begin to cry. I'd recommend putting something like micro-fiber cloth, wipes, etc. into those pockets. Overall, this is a great case. It's nice in design, it's durable, and convenient to lug around. It's much better than the factory pouch my PDA came with. Basically, it does what it is designed to do, so how can I give it a bad rating? Unless, it had cheap meterial, cheap engineering...but this one...engineered well and tough material. I'd recommend it to anyone with an iPAQ. Hey, for now it's either that or the $40-"executive" leather case, which in my opinion, is simply a cover rather than a case. Of course, there are new cases coming out soon, but like I said, "for now." |
