Default Best PDA2K case (4 links to current cases)

BEST Case for PDA2K/XDAIII ?

I'm having hard time deciding as to what would
be the best case for my PDA2K. The case that comes with it
is very uncofortable and hard to take the pda quickly out of it
when you have a call.

Up till now, I've found 4 cases that were designed
especially for the i-mate. I would have preferred an
aluminium hightech looking case as opposed to elegant leather
case which kinda 'hides' the gadget, but all I found was leather
cases. I also don't know what would be more confortable the flip
or the book style type.

speically built and suited for the PDA2K but there is'tas well, as my preferance i

Default I just ordered this

http://www.suntekstore.com/leather-c...bi-folder.html

It's cheap and looks like the PDA clips into the case. No plastic over the keyboard either.

I'll post to let everyone one know how pleased I am with my purchase! :wink:

outz,

When are you expecting your Innopocket case? I have a few questions:

1. Are the application buttons above the D-Pad accessible through the case? It looks like they will be hidden.
2. How is your WiFi reception? Talk is that WiFi in general with the Blue Angel isn't very good, but I'd think putting the device in a "metal box" will make it even worse.

Keep us posted.

Thanks!

I didn't think about the Aluminium case will block WiFi making the poor reception of the PDA2K even poorer (can it get worse than that? lol)

My guess is that an aluminium case may make the WiFi even poorer, I think I'll go a leather case as this seems to be the only viable choice.

That's what I'm thinking. I was hoping that Vaja (http://www.vajacases.com) would make a semi-rigid leather case for the Blue Angel as they did for the XDA II, but when I emailed their support group, I was told they will not be making a case for the Blue Angel at all.

Bummer...
