2 x Cases review and text guide.


Intro:
I have been looking into the various cases that are out at the moment for the SPVM3100 aka HERMES. I have tested around 8 various case models.
So I decided to put a video together this morning and upload it to YouTube in case like me there are others out there interested in whats on offer for protecting this valuable and indispensable piece of technology.

I hope it helps someone out there and I would be interested in any feedback such as any other cases that my fellow HERMES owners have tried out.
So please "FEED THE THREAD"

Anyway, on with the show. I have also uploaded part one of my case review (2 cases) for the items below on YouTube.

But it will be moving over to a part PDA info site when time allows. Please feel free to have a look if you get the time.

Thanks very much for taking the time to make this video - i found it very informative.

I've just ordered the leather stiched case.

What I dont like however is the plastic over the screen, because if I cant slide out the keyboard, without tapping on the screen I have no other method of input.

So what i'll do is get a blade or box cutter and trim out the plastic. The fact I have a screen protector should be enough.

so, thanks very much!
