BetterCase PalmPilot Case by Julie Strietelmeier Last date revised: 03/25/99 The BetterCase for the PalmPilot or IBM WorkPad is made by Bettercase . This is a black leather wallet type case. The case is held closed with a snap. This snap is on the bottom side of the case and closing it does not put pressure on the Pilot's screen. The case is like that of a nice wallet. The stitching, and leather quality are both very good. The Pilot is held in the case with Velcro. There are also 2 raised leather covered metal tabs which hold the Pilot stationary. I believe they also help you to avoid applying to much pressure to the Pilot when closing the snap. Being a wallet type of case, the Pilot has 3 sides that are unprotected. There is some padding so that if the Pilot was dropped and fell flat, I think it would be protected. These tabs are pretty hard to see in this picture... Some nice features of this case are that the cover can fold all the way under the case to make it easier to hold and use. The case also has a hidden wallet under the cover flap. This flap is held closed with Velcro. Under it are 3 credit card slots and a money pocket. Another nice feature is that you can hotsync without having to removing the Pilot if you use the hotsync cable or The Bridge . The case when closed is a little larger than what I would typically like. It was a little hard for me to put into the pocket of my leather jacket. I don't think a person would have problems fitting it into a suit coat pocket though. All in all, this is a very nice case at a reasonable price. Price : $29.95 Construction: A Ease of Use: B Overall Rating: B+ . Let me know your comments on the BetterCase. Read what others have to say about this product on the Owners Comment Page


E&B Casio E-10/11 Slipper Case by Julie Strietelmeier Last date revised: 05/13/99 E&B Cases has created a form fitting case for Casio E-10/11 Palm-size PCs. This is a black leather play through 'Slipper' case that comes in either a belt clip or non belt clip version. The screen cover portion of the case is held closed with a strip of Velcro. The cover is padded and is stiffened with some kind of hard insert. On the inside of this cover there are two slots. One for business or credit cards and the other for small folded papers or even folded currency. The outside of the screen cover flap has a small E&B logo. In the past I have complained about E&B branding their products. Now that they have gone with a much smaller logo, I don't mind it anymore. In fact, I kind of like it... Call me fickle. ebcasio-1.jpg (11206 bytes) ebcasio-2.jpg (8045 bytes) The Casio slides into the case so that no zippers or Velcro are needed to hold it in place. It is a snug fit so you won't have to worry about the PDA falling out of the case. Removing the E-10/11 from the case takes a bit of effort but it's not too bad. Though this might be inconvenient for people that sync to their PC several times a day. ebcasio-7.jpg (9245 bytes) There are cutouts for the alarm notification LED at the top and application buttons at the bottom of the PDA. Even though the leather is a somewhat thick around the buttons, they are still easy to press. The only button that you might have a little trouble pressing is the To Do button since it is at the very edge. If you play games that use this button, you might have problems playing them while the PDA is in this case. ebcasio-6.jpg (5605 bytes) One thing that E&B overlooked was to leave a cutout for the stylus. While the E-10/11 is in the Slipper case, you can't remove the stylus. The only solution is to use a third party stylus with a cap on top such as one from PDA Panache or Rhinoskin. ebcasio-5.jpg (3753 bytes) On the left side of the case there is a clear plastic window with cutouts for the earphone jack, and Action/Rocker button. The Exit and Voice Recorder buttons don't have cutouts, but can still be activated by pressing them through the clear plastic window. I'm not sure if I like this plastic window or not. One minute I think it is ok and the next minute I wish it wasn't there. I'm not sure how well the thin plastic will hold up under heavy use. ebcasio-8.jpg (4370 bytes) The back of the case has the belt clip attachment knob (on the belt clip version only). This knob in the past has been made of plastic. It is now a smaller solid metal knob. I think this new version will wear much better and have fewer breakage problems. The actual clip that you wear on your belt is a black plastic pinch clip. You have to squeeze it open like a clothespin to put it on your belt. The knob on the back of the case then slides into the clip with a nice audible 'click'. To remove the case from the clip, you just press the nice sized release button on the belt clip and lift the case up. It is quick and easy to use with just one hand. When the case is on your belt, it can swivel around so that you can sit down without the case being in your way. Although the Casio E-10/11 in this case weighs .540 lbs., wearing it on your belt is comfortable and not really noticeable. ebcasio-3.jpg (4196 bytes) ebcasio-4.jpg (4105 bytes) The Casio Slipper case is made very well. The stitching and leather are both of very high quality. This stylish case will protect your E-10/11 from knocks and bumps while allowing you to carry it on your belt. The only small thing I noticed was when I was using the Slipper case that audio out of my E-10/11 wasn't quite as loud as when the unit was out of the case. The leather does muffle the sound a bit. E&B might want to consider putting a few holes in the back of the case near the speaker area to help alleviate this problem. If you don't mind the low audio and having to buy a third party stylus to use with this case, then the Slipper might be perfect for you. Price: $34.95 with belt clip ($29.95 without belt clip) Pros: Made well Has access to all buttons Cons: No access for original stylus Have to remove to sync with PC Muffles the speaker a bit Let me know your comments on the E&B Casio Slipper case and read what others have to say.


Casio E-100/105 Body Suit Case by Julie Strietelmeier Last date revised: 10/11/99 The Casio E-100/105 Body-Suit case by Extreme Limit is a play through black leather case with white stitching. casio-bodysuit1.jpg (5770 bytes) casio-bodysuit2.jpg (6899 bytes) The Body-Suit has a leather holster that the Casio can easily slide into. It doesn't require any Velcro to hold it in place. The holster is actually quite snug so that there shouldn't be any fear of the PDA slipping out. The holster has cut outs for all of the buttons and connectors on the E-100/105 except for the microphone. Everything is easily accessible. There are only two things that you can't do while the Casio is in this case. You can't easily open the compact flash slot and you can't sync with the cradle. If you have a serial cable for your Casio, you can use it to sync while the unit is in the case though. On my case the only cut out that was not aligned correctly was the cut out for the joy pad. It needed to be just a bit higher. Otherwise all the other buttons were easy to press/access while in the case. casio-bodysuit4.jpg (6595 bytes) casio-bodysuit5.jpg (5634 bytes) casio-bodysuit3.jpg (9941 bytes) The screen cover portion of the case has a metal insert to protect the screen. The inside of the cover is lined with a rough velvet like material. When using the case, you can easily fold the cover back out of your way. The cover is held closed with two leather covered brass snaps. The snaps easily secure the cover to the bottom of the case. The Body-Suit is a very nice case. The leather and stitching are both very high quality. It is as compact as possible while still providing good protection to the PDA. Right now this is my favorite case for my Casio E-100. The only real problem with the case is that it isn't easily available here in the US. Extreme Limit is a Japanese company. At this time the only way to order it is by money order. Price: 4,500 Japanese Yen (~ $42 US dollars) Pros: Play through No Velcro All buttons are easily accessible Cons: Have to remove to sync with PC Microphone covered Let me know your comments on the Body Suit and read what others have to say.


Casio E-100/105 S lipper by Julie Strietelmeier Last date revised: 12/13/99 The Slipper C100 case by E&B Cases is a leather play through case for the Casio E-100 / 105 Palm-size PC. It comes in both a belt clip and non-belt clip version. I'll be reviewing the non-belt clip version. The case has a stiffened cover that has 2 card slots. One is longer and the other is a smaller business card type slot. The cover is held in place by two small pieces of Velcro. During my review of the case, I found that the Velcro didn't always hold the cover securely closed. I would rather see some other type of closure system other than Velcro. The Casio slides into the case from the top with a nice snug fit. There is a large clear plastic covered window for the joypad and 3 hardware buttons. There are small holes over the speaker. Pressing the buttons thru the plastic worked fine for normal use, but for a person that likes to play a lot of games that use the joypad and buttons, I wouldn't recommend this case as you lose some feeling thru the plastic. There is also a plastic window on the left side of the case that has openings for the earphone jack, action button and IR port. The other buttons are covered with the clear plastic. It isn't that easy to press the correct button without looking at it as you can't feel the buttons thru the plastic. I personally do not like plastic covered cutouts. I would rather just leave them open. The right side of the case has a small cutout that allows you to push up the stock stylus. I found it really hard to remove the stylus from the Casio while in this case. I prefer using a PDA Panache replacement stylus with my E-100. It is no problem removing it from the Casio while in the Slipper case. The bottom of the case has an opening for the serial connector which allows you to put the PDA in the cradle and sync while it's in the case. This makes using this case very convenient because you don't have remove it in order to sync. Overall this is a nice case. The leather and stitching are first rate. It also really doesn't add that much to the overall size of the Casio. If you don't mind the clear plastic over the buttons, then this might be the case for you. Price: $33.26 (belt clip version $35.96) Pros: Play through. Can sync while in the case. Cons: Clear plastic covers buttons. Velcro doesn't hold the cover down all that well. Hard to remove stock stylus. Let me know your comments on the Casio E-100/105 Slipper and read what others have to say.


Vaja iPAQ Sync-able Case by Julie Strietelmeier Last date revised: 10/31/2000 Product Requirements: Device: Compaq iPAQ (without expansion sleeves) Vaja (located in Argentina) creates some of the nicest quality leather PDA cases available. They have done it again with their iPAQ Sync-able case. This all leather padded case comes in a variety of colors: Brown Buffalo Skin/Brown Leather, Black Plain Leather/Black Plain Leather, Black Ostrich/Black Leather, Brown Grain Leather/Brown Leather, Cognac Ostrich/Dark Tan Leather, Dark Tan Leather/Dark Tan Leather, Black Grain Leather/Black Leather, Dark Green Grain Leather/Dark Tan Leather, and Tan Ostrich/Black Plain Leather. The case that I'll be reviewing is the Brown Buffalo Skin with Brown Leather with belt clip. This case comes in both a belt clip and non-belt clip version. The belt clip version of this case uses a metal stud to lock into the belt clip. The stud sticks out of the case less than .25in (.64cm). The belt clip allows the case to swivel 360 degrees on the clip. This makes the case more comfortable to wear while you are sitting because you can turn the case sideways on your belt. The iPAQ slides into and out of the case easily and fits it like a glove. The PDA is almost entirely enclosed in leather. Only the top two corners and some of the bottom of the PDA are exposed. The cover and back of the case are padded. The cover also has an ABS plastic insert that gives added protection to the screen when closed. The cover does not use snaps or Velcro to hold it closed. Instead, it uses magnets that have been sewn into the leather (you can not see them). On the inside of the cover there are three card pockets. Two are regular sized card slots with one larger slot behind them. Because the cover uses magnets to hold it closed, you should NOT use credit cards with magnetic strips in the card slots. Doing so will probably ruin the card. The main cut out for the case allows you total access to the screen and all the buttons. The leather is pretty thick around the application button area which makes accessing the two outside buttons a little awkward. For everyday use, this is no real problem, but if you play games that use these two outside buttons, you might have some trouble. There are also cut outs for the microphone, light sensor, battery charger LED and power button. The leather is also thick in this area too which makes pressing the power button difficult. Right handed people might find this more annoying that lefties like me though. If you use your right thumb to turn the iPAQ on, then you'll probably have some trouble. I usually use my left thumb which is easier. The case also has a cutout for the voice recorder button. This makes it very easy to use this feature while the PDA is in the case. The bottom of the case is cutout to allow for syncing with the iPAQ cradle. The AC adapter port, serial port and reset switch are also exposed. This case allows you to sync with your PC without removing the PDA from the case. I found that the case needs a good 'breaking in' period before syncing is easy. You'll need to press the PDA firmly into the cradle. When I first started using the case, I had a real hard time getting syncing and battery charging to work. After a week or so of inserting and removing the PDA from the cradle, it started working pretty well. I still continue to have problems once in awhile though. If the iPAQ cradle didn't have that plastic post for the AC adapter port, I think it would be much easier to use. So, if you are thinkng about buying this case specifically so that you can sync without removing it, be warned that you will probably have to work with the case in order to get it to work. If you want this case because it is made extremely well, looks great, and feels great, then it's for you. Price: $69.90 ($67.90 without belt clip) Pros: No Velcro Can sync and charge while in the case Three card slots Cons: Pressing the power button is difficult Case requires a 'breaking in' period Pricey Let me know your comments on the Vaja iPAQ Sync-able case and read what others have to say.


E&B HP54x Slipper Case by Judie Clark Last date revised: 11/27/2000 Product Requirements: Device: Hewlett Packard 540 Series Jornada Pocket PC Well, once again E&B has come out with a stylish answer for those of us that don’t want to carry our PDA’s without the protection of a leather case. This particular model is for the Jornada 540 series. As with their other Slipper cases; this model is custom fitted to your Jornada, and is fashioned from Napa leather that has a very fine, subtle grain to it. On the bottom front right of the case, is the E&B metal tag. I really like this particular logo, as it is simple and classy. The back of the Slipper case is plain, except for the small hole that is located over the reset button, very handy. My immediate impression of this case is that it looks professional and dignified. I’m not sure what the flip lid is lined with, but there is definitely something stiff and protective inside there. This should be adequate to protect your screen from normal “dings”. Upon opening the case, you insert your Jornada by simply sliding it into the top-loading, fitted pocket. The pocket itself is lined with a very soft, slightly padded, fuzzy material. One of the best design features that you’ll notice, involves the pocket that the Jornada slides into. Instead of breaking up the smooth line of the cutout area, by adding a leather “bar” below the screen and above the buttons, E&B decided instead to make a cut-out that encompasses the entire front of the Jornada’s face, with the exception of its borders. I think that this design is very pleasing to the eye, and I am impressed that they did it this way. All of the Jornada’s buttons are easily accessible, as is the speaker. The top flap of the Slipper case consists of a wallet area, as with other E&B cases. Because of the unique stylus shape of the 540 series and the Jornada’s lack of internal storage for it, E&B has cleverly made a little pocket for the “string-bean”, next to the slide-in slot for your ID or credit card. There is also a larger pocket behind the cardholder area, for another card, or perhaps some folded cash. The top of the Jornada is left exposed: so your CF slot, IR port, headphone jack, and LED/indicator button are easily accessible when the flip cover is folded back. However, you will not be able to close the case if you have your headphones plugged in, as the jack will most likely stick up too high. The cutouts for the jog-dial and record button are perfectly lined up and centered on the left side of the case. The E&B Slipper does utilize Velcro for its closure system. Although I am not a fan of Velcro, I will say that it appears that this is a less fuzzy type, and that it truly does not look that bad. There is a simple, thin strip running on the bottom and top inside edges of the case, and that is it. Unlike the Palm IIIc case that I reviewed some time ago, there is no extra strip on the left side of the screen. I actually don’t mind this Velcro’s placement. There is still the slight “rrrrrriiip” sound that accompanies any product that uses Velcro – however I must say that I appreciate the fact that the Velcro is on the case where it belongs, and not affixed to the back of my PDA, where it doesn’t belong. J Running around the bottom half is a zipper. Because this case is basically made so that you can insert your Jornada, and never remove it again (unless you just really want to), E&B had to come up with a way to allow syncing in this case. Well, the zipper solves this dilemma quite nicely. You simply unzip the bottom half of the case, exposing your Jornada’s naked bum, and then insert said item into your cradle. It takes a couple of tries to get used to this system, but very soon you are doing it without thinking. I guess my one and only complaint about the E&B Slipper involves the zipper-pull. It is about an inch long and quite dangly. The first thought I had when I saw it was that I should go ahead and stick something else on the pull, if it was going to just dangle there anyway. Well, you’ll notice that I stuck a charm on there, and personally I like it better that way. I realize that the zipper-pull is not going to bother everyone, I just want you to be aware that the head does dangle – and swapping it out with a charm – if you’re so inclined, is an option. Overall, I think that this case is beautifully done. It looks professional and upscale – and unless you need a “sport utility” type case, you should like the coverage that it offers. Price: $36.95 w/o clip, $39.95 w/clip (Available in Black or Burgundy) Pros: Able to sync in case Very well made Professional appearance Cons: Dangling zipper-pull (which may not bother anybody but me!)

Vaja iFLIP for the iPAQ by Julie Strietelmeier Last date revised: 01/08/2001 Product Requirements: Device: Compaq iPAQ series Pocket PC The worst thing about getting a new PDA is waiting for cases to start coming out for it. Vaja , currently one of my favorite PDA case makers, have just come out with an iPAQ specific screen cover. Notice that I said cover and not case. The iFLIP cover is just that, a leather flip cover. And as such, it's main function is to protect the PDA screen. So don't rely on this cover to protect the PDA from a fall onto a hard surface. The iFLIP is available in a belt clip or non-belt clip version. The iFLIP attaches to the back of the basic style pack, Compact Flash expansion pack or PC Card expansion pack via a very strong adhesive. It is not made for attaching directly to your bare iPAQ. I doubt if you'd really want to stick the iFLIP to your bare iPAQ anyway... if you decided to later remove it, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't take quite a bit of paint along with it. It should also be noted that this cover also will not work with the Silver Slider (modified CF expansion sleeve). I tested the iFLIP with my basic expansion pack and it fit just fine. A nice feature of the iFLIP is the double snaps. They allow you to use the cover with the different sized expansion packs. The screen cover is held closed with a leather strap that wraps around the bottom of the PDA and snaps onto one of the two snaps on the back of the cover. The snaps feel pretty sturdy so I don't think the cover would come open accidentally. The screen cover has a ABS stiffener in it that helps protect the screen from bumps. On the inside of the cover there are 2 card slots. There is also an cut out for the earphone jack. The belt clip version uses the same plastic clip over the belt type clip that Vaja's other cases use. I find that this clip works great for me. The iFLIP is made well, looks stylish, is easy to use and serves its intended purpose. That said, I personally wouldn't buy it... I don't like the idea of sticking it to my style pack. I just don't like adhesives... This cover also doesn't offer enough protect to be worth the $50+ price tag. For that price, I think you should get a full leather case and not just a cover. It should be noted that a basic design cover is also available for a lower price. The difference is with the stainless steel V design on the screen cover. The basic design does not have this. In my opinion even the basic design is over priced. If you don't mind adhesive, and the price, this cover might be for you. But at this time, I think I'll pass... Price: $54.90 with belt clip / $52.90 without belt clip (limited edition), $39.90 with belt clip / $37.90 without belt clip (basic design) Pros: Looks nice Can fit the either Basic, CF or PC card style packs Cons: Expensive! Doesn't protect the entire PDA Let me know your comments on the Vaja iFLIP and read what others have to say.


Extreme Limit Casio EM-500 Body-Suit by Julie Strietelmeier Last date revised: 01/13/2001 Product Requirements: Device: Casio EM-500 Pocket PC Extreme Limit from Japan manufactures a line of leather cases for notebook PCs and PDAs that they call Body-Suits. I've reviewed several of their PDA Body-Suits in the past and now have their Casio EM-500 Pocket PC case to review. Like their other cases, the Body-Suits are not really 'slipper' type cases but are more boxy in design. They are play through and do not require Velcro to hold the PDA in place. This case comes in either a belt-clip or non belt-clip version. The Casio EM-500 Body-Suit that I was sent to review is made of a very dark gray smooth leather. They also have an embossed brown leather version. The PDA slides into and out of the holder easily. The holder is made of thick leather and has a velvet-like material lining the back of it. There are cut outs for all the buttons and ports. The joy pad and application button cut outs are sized just right. Even game players will find that they can comfortably play games while the PDA is in this case. The top of the case has an opening for the earphone and microphone so that you can record voice memos or listen to audio via headphones even when the cover is closed. You can also easily remove the stylus when the cover is closed or open. The bottom of the case has a rectangular opening for the sync port so that you can plug in the USB cable and sync to a PC without needing to remove the PDA from the case. The bottom of the case also has two snaps which are used to hold the screen cover closed. These snaps are pretty heavy duty and I don't feel like they would easily pop open on their own. The left side of the case has a large cut out for the AC adapter connector, power button, action wheel/button, and voice record button. Below that is also a cut out for the IR port. The right side of the case has a metal D ring that you can use to attach a hand strap (not included). The back of the case has the metal belt-clip stud and a cut out for the reset button. An embossed Extreme Limit logo is also stamped on the back of the case. The screen cover portion of the case is quite stiff. I believe that it will protect the screen against most bumps and knocks. On the inside of the cover there are 2 business card slots. These slots are wide enough so that inserting and removing cards is easy. When you are using the case, you can either fold the screen cover all the way back behind the case or you can just let it dangle over your hand (like a small paper notebook) as you hold the PDA. The Body-Suit case does add some size to the PDA so that holding it might not be comfortable for people with small hands. With the case closed, the dimensions are: 3.5" x 5.5" x 1.25" (89mm x 139mm x 32mm). I found it more comfortable to use the case with the cover hanging over the back of my hand. This case uses quality leather, has nice stitching and adequately protects the PDA. Even though it does add some bulk, I still like it and have been using it as my main EM-500 case. Price: $43.45 Belt-clip version, $40.92 Non Belt-clip version Pros: All buttons / ports accessible Can sync while in case Cons: Adds bulk to the PDA Let me know your comments on the Extreme Limit EM-500 Body-Suit and read what others have to say.


Vaja iPAQ + Silver Slider Case by Julie Strietelmeier Last date revised: 01/29/2001 Product Requirements: Device: iPAQ and Silver Slider 04/22/01 Updated. Comments on new version will be made in red. The Vaja Silver Slider iPAQ case is the only case available to date that has been specifically made for the iPAQ and Silver Slider . The Silver Slider is a modified Compact Flash Card Expansion Sleeve made by George Mosquera. Vaja is swiftly becoming well known for their quality leather PDA cases and this new case is not an exception. Made of high quality leather, this case comes in a variety of colors including: Black Ostrich with Black plain leather, Cognac Ostrich with Dark Tan leather, Dark Tan leather with Dark Tan leather, Black grain leather with Black leather, and Green grain leather with Dark Tan leather. It is also available in both a belt clip or a non-belt clip version. The iPAQ and Silver Slider combo easily slides into the case holster. No Velcro is required to hold the PDA in the case. The fit is adequate but I think it could stand to be just a little more snug. As it is, if you would hold the case upside down with the cover open (I don't know why you would want to do that...), the iPAQ would fall out. That said, the cut outs in the holster are pretty much perfect. There is easy access to the application buttons and joypad. There is also a cut out for the voice recorder button. At the bottom of the case, there is a cut out for the AC adapter connector, sync port and reset switch. New version has a perfect fit. Nice and snug. This case is supposed to allow you to sync your iPAQ with the cradle while it is on. Unfortunately, I had quite a bit of trouble with this. I have not had one successful sync. No matter how hard I press the unit into the cradle, it won't initiate a sync. This doesn't really bother me due to the fact that I can easily slide the iPAQ out of the case and pop it in the cradle. But, if you are specifically looking for a syncable case, this one will take some wrestling. If you happen to have a sync cable, you'll not have any problems connecting it to the iPAQ while it is in this case. The screen cover portion of the case is nicely padded and has a medium stiff ABS plastic insert. On the inside of the cover, there are 2 card slots and one large slot behind them for more cards or longer papers. There is a hole in the cover that matches the earphone jack so that you can listen to audio while the cover is closed. The cover is held shut with a leather covered snap. The snap is attached to a strap that wraps around the bottom of the iPAQ and fastens to the back of the PDA. The snap is easy to fasten and unfasten while still being secure. On the back of the case is the metal stud for the belt clip (for the belt clip version of course). The stud sticks out about .25" and is about .25" wide. The only thing that I don't like about this case is that the leather on the back seems gappy. It is as if too much leather was used and as a result, it buckles. This is somewhat apparent in the picture below. This isn't a major problem, but if you're picky like me, it might bother you. New version doesn't have this problem at all. The leather is completely flat. See picture on right of updated case. Other than that, the Vaja iPAQ + SS is a very nice case that is made with quality materials and has great craftsmanship. It protects your iPAQ and Silver Slider combo from every day use and looks terrific. Price: $59.90 with belt-clip, $57.90 without belt-clip Pros: Fits the iPAQ and Silver Slider combo Play through design Cons: Leather on back buckles slightly Had trouble syncing while in the case Expensive Let me know your comments on the Vaja iPAQ + Silver Slider Case and read what others have to say.


Extreme Limit HP 540 Series Body-Suit by Judie Clark Last date revised: 02/02/2001 Product Requirements: Device: HP 540 series Pocket PCs The Hewlett Packard Jornada 540 series Body-Suit by Extreme Limit, is a pebbly black leather, wallet style, play-through case. The model I was presented to review does not have a belt clip, however, that option is available if you need it. In case you haven’t heard of Extreme Limit before, their web site proclaims them to be the leading Japanese manufacturer of bags & cases for mobile computers. I am inclined to believe their claim. If you have read my Palm IIIc Extreme Limit Body Suit Review , you will realize that this review is more of the same. Extreme Limit continues to put out an excellent product with superior craftsmanship, for many types of PDAs. Something I need to point out right now is that since I consider Extreme Limit’s PDA cases to be among the finest made, I judge them by a little stricter standard than other “mass-produced” cases. If you feel like I am getting a little picky, then just understand that that is where I am coming from. The first thing you will observe about the Body Suit is, once again, the contrasting white stitching that goes around all of the edges. This case utilizes a tab closure, also with the contrasting stitching. The black pebbly leather is thick and stiff, and has an expensive look to it. You’ll notice that on the rear bottom right, there is a discreet Extreme Limit logo. This is a case that either a man or woman would be proud to carry, I am thankful that Extreme Limit decided to make this model available without a belt-clip, as I can now toss it into my gear-bag, without thinking about if the little metal “button” is going to smack into anything in there. For all you men out there, you can just as easily toss it into your briefcase. As with Extreme Limit’s other cases, once the wallet flap is covering the screen of your Jornada, it seems to offer quite a bit of protection. It should shield your screen from any sudden knocks or dings. Extreme Limit’s cases are very rectangular, and the Jornada case is no exception. However, because it is coupled with enough space for your ID and money necessities, the case almost looks like a “clutch” type hand wallet. In fact, this case really feels and looks good in your hand. I have found myself leaving my bag at home, and carrying nothing but this case, loaded with my 548, Driver’s License, and my Amex when I needed to make a quick run to the store. When the Body Suit is closed, it will cover every bit of your Jornada – except for the areas where it matters – namely your jog dial, the recorder button, and the top surface. Since the top is open, you have quick access to your IR port, compact flash door, headphone jack, and the unique top button/charge-light. There is also a ring on the side, if you’d like to attach a wrist or neck lanyard to the case – hey, I know there are some people out there that might want to do this, so I’m just letting you know. One thing that I feel really speaks well about the planning that went into this case, is the fact that there is a nice round cutout on the rear side, perfectly lined up with your reset button. When the tab flap is closed, it will cross the top of your Jornada, effectively holding everything in place, safely. Even with the tab fastened – you still have access to the IR port and the headphones jack. While nothing actually restrains your Jornada in the case when the wallet is open, the sides of the case will grasp your PDA sufficiently that it won’t fall out. This is a top-loading case, and you will find that once the Jornada is inserted, it will nestle in a satin lined, fitted area with cutouts that match where they need to be. As on the outside of the case, there is contrasting white stitching around every edge. The bottom half of the case, when it is opened, has two slots for an ID & credit card. Unlike the IIIc case, there is no deep pocket to hide your cash in; they did away with it all together. I guess I won’t have to worry about holding up any more convenience store lines while I fish for my money! ;-) The wallet portion of the Body suit is situated so that you can hold the Jornada in your left hand, and whip out your credit or ID cards from the bottom portion of the wallet with your right. This is a great feature, as long as you are right handed. Perhaps a way to make it more ambidextrous would have been to make cardholders that went across the flap, instead of along the flap. Similar to the way that Vaja makes their cardholders. There is a rectangular cutout at the bottom of the pocket that cradles your Jornada, designed so that you can use the travel charger. You will have to take your PDA out of the case to synchronize, but it is very easy to do this: you simply use a finger to push your Jornada up from the bottom cutout, and then grasp the top of your Jornada as it exits the top slot. The cutout around the Jornada’s screen is perfectly proportioned, and they did a “free-form” cutout area to accommodate the power and hot buttons. There are special holes where the speaker is, so volume on your unit is hardly affected, if at all, when it is in this case. This split-face window design area involves one of the few gripes I have about this case. There are actually two gripes, but I’ll get to the other a little later: Gripe #1: I wish that Extreme Limit would have just made one opening in the screen and button area, with no leather “bar” between the screen and the buttons. Because they did include the bar, the double stitching looks a bit cramped, and is not as perfectly spaced as everywhere else on the case. Because of the leather bar, I also feel like the button area is a little too tight when playing games. If you have tried many cases at all, you have probably noticed that it is usually best to disable your hot buttons when the Jornada is turned off. Most cases tend to push against the buttons and inadvertently turn your PDA on. This brings up another great feature of the Body Suit case: because the leather is so thick it creates a buffer between the case’s flip-cover and the hot buttons. It is just about impossible to accidentally turn your Jornada on. The downside to this is that you may want to use your stylus to turn on your power button, as you might not be able to get a good “push” in otherwise due to the thick leather right next to the button.. As with their other Body Suit PDA Cases, you can fold the wallet portion of the case underneath, and stick the tab into its slot, instantly creating a handy easel for your desktop. This also fully exposes the charging cutout that I referred to earlier, for when you are in the car. I am a bit conflicted on the last feature I am going to mention. In fact, this is where my #2 gripe comes from. As you should be aware by now, the Jornada 540 series happens to be the only Pocket PC with a built in flip cover. Inside that flip cover is the tray where the plastic “Popsicle-stick” stylus is kept. Since you have to remove the flip cover in order to insert your Jornada into this case, you might be wondering where you are supposed to put your necessary stylus. (As if the above picture didn’t give that away…) J Extreme Limit has made a very clever little side-holster for the stylus. Especially clever, because not only will it accept the stock stylus, it will also accept just about any other PDA sized stylus. This is a really great thing for those that hate the stock stylus, and want to use something else – without carrying a separate pen-sized implement. The picture I am showing here is of the PDA panache Handspring Visor stylus, since I have already shown you a picture with the stock stylus. Unfortunately, the fastener on the top of the holster is where Gripe #2 comes in: Because they used Velcro to close the two tabs that make up the loop, the tabs just will not lay straight, and they stick out quite a bit. I think that Extreme Limit could have used either a leather or an elastic loop, and achieved their desired effect. I think that this could be a perfect case, if Extreme limit would do away with the split face window design, and eliminate the Velcro on the holster. That is my humble opinion, so take it for what it’s worth. J Price: $46.53, depending on daily Yen / Dollar conversion. Also available in a belt-clip model for approx. $49.29 Pros: Openings for every button & slot Beautiful, slightly custom look Can carry different stylus, rather than stock HP “Popsicle stick” Cons: Stitching between screen & buttons looks crooked (picky, I know!) Would rather stylus holder had not used Velcro Let me know your comments on the Extreme Limit HP 540 Series Body-Suit and read what others have to say.
