I am just about to look into this - I have a pielframa one for my MDAIII but now need to upgrade. Can it be used easily whilst in the case - including getting the keyboard in and out etc?

[nelsonlye]

Ya, you can clip on your belt....and the keyboard can come in & out...easily... no worry....

Same as my XDA2s...

With my MDAIII piel frama case (same type) I ended up trimming the plasticy keyboard cover to stop it getting caught and getting frayed and torn. Does this one look like the same will be needed or is it a better fit.

[nelsonlye]

well....i think this one..worse then XDA2s........

That's the draw back point....

One thing I don't like about it is that the plastic seems not attached very well on the right side...and the reset button is not accessible.

Also, why is there an opening to the left of the camera?

> Also, why is there an opening to the left of the camera?

Speaker is there.

Yep, have this case too and agree with all comments and especially pain that the reset button is covered - they really didn't need a cut out over the IR port as noone uses it thesedays anyway...

The case is *almost* very good but I think the leather needs to go a touch further round at top and bottom i.e. towards the USB/charger port, and so pull the plastic foil tighter across the keyboard - mine's seems more loose than day 1...

Still a very impressive case but not 100% sorted (yet). Which reminds me; the cut out for the scroll wheel is a bit off on mine (should be 2-3mm lower down)...

[cronos]

Speaker? On the *rear* of the PDA?

[nelsonlye]

same goes to me...the wheel hole..shd 2 to 3mm lower......

[mini]

I also think that the cut out for the scroll wheel should be 1 - 2mm lower. But i notice that the plastic foil will get loose if the PDA is heated. If I remove the case and let it cool down, the plastic foil will get tighten again.

How convenient it is to use the device in this case as a phone?

[thebimbo]

Not that good when used as a phone as you have to bend the case so the front doesn't flap into ur face.

And just the w/e the plastic belt holder fell apart as I was getting into a car.

[joedoe]

It looks like this is no-go for me.

To further comment, the micro SD Slot of the PF case actually touches the screen of your pda thus causing it to be turned on for the entire should you not turn it off via power button.
