MAGNESIUM CAE FO XDA2S, QTEK 9090 etc

[Rick GM]

Received this case this morning. It's light, protects brilliantly, looks good, is functional in that you can access all buttons answer calls etc while it's cased, and has 2 slots for SD cards. You can even charge/connect GPS cable while cased. All in all pretty pleased and took just 4 days from order to delivery.

Yes it does have a detachable belt clip. If you click on the link there are 10 good pictures truly representative of what you get !

as it comes from the USA...

P&P was $6. Not bad in my view.

I'm interested in this case too, but I have some questions:

1. Does it have a hole for the phone micro? (in the screenshots is not clear)

2. Is reception affected by that kind of metal?

3. Is the close mechanism secure enough? Cannot the PDA slide down to the floor too easily?

4. Can I use the headphones even while cased? (in the screenshots is not clear)

Thanks, :D

Mr B
1. Yes
2. Not that I've noticed, so no
3. Close clips are secure, and it can't slide out open or closed. I can actually hold the case upside down while open with the PDA in it and the side clips hold it in place - not recomended !!!!
4. Haven't actually tried this but almost certainly. The socket is accessible and I think the elbow on the plug would clear the case

(Just been out to the car to get the h/phones and there's no problem.)

I've had my case for some time now - I use and recomend a screen protector on it.
The only minor complaint is that it has a few minor paint scratches - but overall very much worth having.

The girl on the left has definitely joined two cases together to make her helmet - no question. Even the colour's right !

Ok i have had this case shortly after they were first available.
I have had the following issues.

The paint is chipping off
Second day I had the case I accidentally dropped it and I broke off one of the plastic clips that hold the case closed. (my SX66 flew out but still worked)
The plastic screen on the unit is heavily scratched (and I am careful)
I stopped using this on my belt as I chipped and scratch it this way.
Reception degraded a little bit but not to bad

I think the clips that hold this thing together could be revised (sent and Email to Innopocket)
the paint chipping off is a bit of a pain (now i have silver marks everywhere)
and they should fix that cheap screen they have on the front.

Would I say buy it. No not yet...wait till they fix the problems (if they fix the problems)
I am now looking at the aluminum case as it looks sturdier (and no plastic clips holding the sides)

I have a few case suggestions I'd like to share. I have found a couple of cases that are exceptional and have been using both since I got my Blue Angel.

This is the second case I've owned from Bellagio Designs and they are of the highest quality I've ever seen. They are somewhat unknown and it's a bit difficult to find a vendor selling below retail price... Those factors notwithstanding, this is an excellent case with steel reinforcement, full access to the keyboard when open and will fit into the sync cradle (with a standard-size battery). When I couldn't find a re-seller with a significant discount, I purchased the case directly from Bellagio.

Check it out here:

My other favorite case is the Otterbox 2600. It is a crush-proof, waterproof case (it even floats) with access to the touch-screen and the keys on the face of the device while in the case (through a plastic screen saver). The case is considered universal and fits a wide variety of PDA's, so test the waterproof quality on a junker if you're unsure... I found the lowest price (believe it or not) for this case at HP's Small/Medium Business site. The price was $45 after shipping, less than the suggested retail ($49.99) and less than I found on eBay.

These may not be the right cases for your particular needs... I needed a high-quality case to carry on my belt that wouldn't spill my PDA when I least expected and I needed a protective case for the elements I'm occasionally forced to work in. I think that these two cases are exceptional values to protect the money and time I've invested in my PDA.

Cheers to all...

I finally got the case like 45 days ago, and i must say it works as the Blue angel it self...

It arrived and 2 seconds after putting the BA on it the plastic screen was scratched.

The paint chipped off almost on contact to air...

a week ago the belt clip broke

in general it protects the BA and it has withstand several falls and stuff how ever after just a few days of normal wearing it started to look horrible all chipped and silver marks everywhere...

Is like the BA a helluva Idea wich is not fully functional yet... but it works sometimes
