yes.....and its 100 times better than the standard case......fits perfectly on the device....all buttons are not covered by the case and u also dont have to take the unit out of the case to use as a phone or pda.....highly recommended

Really... what about the fit... I mean judging from the pictures alone it seems as if the unit is only held in place by the four stubs. Is that enough to hold the unit in place securely? Because I don't want the unit to fall out of the case(being 1,000 dollars plus) when it is on my belt! And how many credit cards can it hold?

Thanks for your feedback irv777!

:D

thats what i first thought as well but theres actually a plastic transparent sleeve which holds the unit itself...the keyboard side actually slides through the sleeve to keep it in place....i'll post some pics soon if u like

Pictures would be great if you don't mind. How many credit cards can it hold? 'cause I am thinking of using it as my wallet as well.... tired of lugging around too many things... that is why we got a ppcp in the first place...hehe..

thanks again :D

theres two slots for sd cards and maybe 2-3 credit cards.....but i dont think u can use it as a wallet as the slots are too tight....

Umm, I am not sold yet because of the plastic thngy over the keyboard.
How does it change the feel of the keyboard? Can you still feel the separate keys? Can you feel the bumps on F and J? How hard/soft/think/thin is the plastic? Does it cause neighbouring keys to be pressed by accident?

no, the plastic cover does not affect the neighbouring keys at all......i had the same thought like you but when you actually start using the keyboard it feels like the plastic is not even there.....precise keying as before.....well i didnt feel any difference anyway.....

I found these cases which suspiciously look like the PDAir cases which suspiciously look like the Proporta cases. Only $17.95, half price of Proporta.

Of course I have no idea what the service is like or we would be getting what we see in the pictures. Just that they look like the same cases and the pouch case have better pictures than that of Proporta.

Well, I ordered mine (I got the pouch version).
We'll see what happens. The company is in HK, so I have no idea how long it will take for regular parcel mail to reach US.

Where's the belt clip? How can you carry this in shorts and T-Shirt?
irv777

theres a detachable belt clip that screws on the back of the case just under the camera hole and the actual clip-on that attaches to ur belt/shorts watever.....
