Cases for the HP iPAQ 2210/2215: Vaja, Piel Frama, Krusell, Proporta and
CASESonline Vaja Billfold Leather Case Vaja has become the Mercedes of PDA
cases. You can read our general review of several of their cases for other PDAs
here . They use top quality leather and each case has the story of Vaja cases
stamped into the interior back section of the case, giving you that sense of old
world charm and class.The billfold case for the iPAQ 2215 sells for $74.90 to
$80.90 US without a belt clip, and you can order it with a belt clip and/or
other customizations for an additional fee. The billfold is a Custom case, which
means it'll take about 20 days for your case to be made, and you can choose from
several leather finishes and single or two-tone color combinations. In fact, all
colors are listed with their Pantone numbers, so graphic designers, go to town
matching a case to your favorite color! We received the embossed version in
Apple Green for review. Like all Vaja cases, it has a metal Vaja emblem on the
front flap and the Vaja story embossed inside the case. The shiny embossed
leather has color variations, as you can see from the pictures on the right. In
photos, you might mistake it for suede due to the color variations but it is
similar to patent leather (but not as shiny), with a hard surface texture and a
definite sheen. The stitching matches the color of the leather and is finely
done. The selection of colors and textures is refreshing, letting you express
your individuality (you can get the case in black too). The case has a snap
closure, and the inner billfold has a separate snap closure. The billfold
functions as a wallet, and has a full-length paper money compartment, and five
credit card slots plus two SD card slots facing inward. The backside of the
billfold section that faces the iPAQ screen has an additional credit
card/business card slot. For a man who'd rather not carry both a wallet and a
PDA, this case could be ideal, though these days few of us in the US carry
around only 5 or 6 credit and ATM cards. The Vaja case has cut outs for the CF
and SD slots, the sync port (you can sync and charge via cable but not cradle),
the charging and Bluetooth LEDs and the front buttons. There is no cut out for
the power button, rather an embossed power symbol sits atop the power button
location, and you can turn the unit on and off by pressing the power symbol. The
case has a cut out for the headphone jack so you'll be able to listen to MP3s
while the iPAQ is in its case. On the back, a small mesh grill covers the
speaker hole, and there's a very small hole for the reset button. I found it a
bit hard to use the 4 front buttons on the 2215 because the openings are rather
small. The case fits snuggly, and you must be sure to get the iPAQ centered
correctly so the leather doesn't overlap the buttons. If you're looking for a
quality case that does double-duty as a wallet and is available in many
different colors and finishes, then by all means check out the Vaja Billfold
case for the 2215. If you like the case but don't need a billfold, you'll be
happy to know that Vaja offers a flip top case sans billfold for ~ $55 US.

Frama Case Piel Frama is always on my short list for leather PDA cases. Located
in Spain, a country that's well known for leather-making, Piel Frama offers a
wide selection of cases for many PDAs and mobile phones. You can read our
general review of many of their cases for other PDAs here . We received their
cow skin leather model for review, which sells for 60 Euros (~$67 US). The case
is also available in crocodile or ostrich (cow skin on the inside) for 90 Euros
(~$99 US). The cow skin case is available in black, tan and black and tan. The
leather is of excellent quality and is tightly grained and aromatic. The case
has a magnetic closure that works very well, and has a removable belt clip. I
love their magnetic closure: no velcro noise, and no fiddling to align a snap!
The stitching matches the case color and is finely done. The case's cover and
back are reasonably rigid, offering good protection for your iPAQ. The back of
the case is contour-cut, following the 2215's curved lines. There's a large mesh
grill on the back for the speaker, and a cut out on the top for the CF and SD
slots, as well as a cut out for the headphone jack. The front of the case is
quite open, and it doesn't get in the way of the buttons or sync port (you'll
still need to remove the iPAQ from the case if you wish to sync using the
cradle). Inside the flip cover there are 2 SD card slots, 3 credit card slots
and a larger slot that can hold money, receipts and etcetera. The flip has
enough play so that the cards won't be pressed against your iPAQ's screen,
unless you squeeze it into a tight pocket. If you're looking for a high quality
case made in fine quality leather, put Piel Frama on your short list. The case
adds relatively little bulk while providing good protection and easy access to
the 2215's buttons and ports. www.pielframa.com Piel Frama iPAQ 2215 leather
case Piel Frama case Krusell Handit PDA Case Krusell is well known for their
mobile phone cases. In addition, they make good quality leather PDA cases at
reasonable prices. Each case has a metallic Krusell logo on the front and
features reinforced leather that surrounds the front of the PDA. Their Handit
case employs their capable and adaptable Multidapt® clip system which allows you
to attach not only a variety of belt clips, but also car and bike holder clips
which are available separately. The female clip is mounted permanently to the
back of the case, and is very thin and unobtrusive. The case is finished in
medium grained black leather that has a slight sheen. The inner areas that
directly contact the iPAQ are soft black suede. The back of the case is
reasonably rigid, and the front flap is extremely rigid and should offer great
screen protection. The inner flap has 2 SD card slots, 2 credit card slots and a
larger slot that can hold an additional credit card, money or receipts. The case
has a snap closure, with two female snaps on the back that allow you to adjust
how tightly the case closes, in case you really load up the slot pockets. The
front of the case is open, so it doesn't get in the way of the iPAQ's buttons. I
wouldn't mind if the side surrounds didn't wrap quite so far around the PDA,
because you must get the iPAQ centered to avoid the case overlapping on the
screen a tiny bit. There are cut outs for the sync connector (you can sync via
cable but not cradle while the unit is in the case), and the reset button. The
top flap contours in to allow access to the headphone jack, but there an no cut
outs for the CF and SD slots, so you won't be able to carry the iPAQ with
protruding cards (WiFi, GPS, modems) installed. Krusell cases are available from
many online and bricks-and-mortar retailers. www.krusell.se Krusell iPAQ 2215
case Proporta Aluminum Case If you're in the market for a hard case that will
help your iPAQ survive bangs and whacks, the Proporta case is a great choice.
Made of aluminum, the case is rigid yet lightweight (1.7 ounces) and adds very
little bulk to your PDA. The interior of the case is lined with neoprene so the
iPAQ won't be scratched, and there's a space for an SD card nestled in the
neoprene that lines the inside of the front cover. The case's edges are nicely
machined and smooth so they won't cause you any pain on contact, and the hinges
are sturdy and operate easily. The case closes via a compression clip on the
left side, and has cut outs for the LEDs on front, and the speaker and reset
hole in the rear. The sync connector cut out allows you to sync or charge the
iPAQ via cable, but not cradle. The top rear edge of the case has dips for the
stylus and CF slot so you won't need to remove the 2215 from the case to use
these. An extremely sturdy case that will offer a great deal of protection while
adding very little weight and bulk. It sells for $39.95 US. www.proporta.com
Proporta iPAQ 2215 aluminum case Proporta aluminum case CASESonline Cases
CASESonline is an HP partner, and they make the lovely leather case included
with the iPAQ 5500 series models. Their selection of iPAQ cases is simply
amazing, offering 10 different case designs that are each available in quite a
few styles (leather finishes and colors). Whatever your needs and tastes may be,
chances are they have a case to suit. Their cases are well-crafted, stylish and
custom designed to fit each iPAQ model. Slim Case, Wall Street version $64.75
This lovely case is available in no less that 9 different styles, each of which
is available in 4 or more colors. We received the Wall Street model in black,
which is made of calf skin leather that's medium-grained and looks top quality
and luxurious. The leather itself is soft to the touch, and the section that
connects the cover to the back is supple, making it easy to open and close. Both
the cover and back sections are reinforced and are quite rigid, and they also
have padding. The case adds some bulk thanks to the padding and rigid inserts,
but it's not cumbersome. The iPAQ slides into the case and is held in place by a
molded leather surround that connects to the back of the case via nylon webbing.
It truly fits like a glove and the PDA will stay firmly in place. A stylus
holder sits to the left of the iPAQ, and inside the cover you'll find 2 SD card
slots, 2 credit card slots and a money pocket. The case is held closed by a tab
closure. There are cut outs for the power button, LEDS and sync port on the
bottom. You can connect the PDA to a sync cable but not cradle while in the
case. The top of the iPAQ is exposed, so you'll have no problem getting to the
slots and headphone jack. The back of the case does not have an opening for the
speaker or reset button. This case is a strong contender! It has a very high
quality look, a molded surround that holds the iPAQ firmly in place and plenty
of protection. If you prefer to have an opening for the speaker, or want the
slimmest possible case, then you may want to consider the slightly slimmer Piel
Frama and Krusell cases. Sleeve Case, Bond Street in Black $34.75 If you're
looking for a simple case, check out the Sleeve Case, which is available in 10
different styles and several colors. The sleeve case is similar in design to the
nylon case that's included with the 2215. Your iPAQ slips into the case, and is
held in place by nylon webbing on the sides. But that's where the similarity
ends! The included case fits too tightly and is rough, and has a tendency to
pull the rubber grips off the iPAQ or even scratch it. The Sleeve Case has a
better fit that should leave your side grips intact, and the front and back
panels are made of smooth leather that won't mar your 2215. The front of the
case has a single pocket for money/CF card/credit card, and two slots for SD
cards. The SD cards are held in play by stretch nylon, and that's the only thing
I found esthetically displeasing about the case. The leather looks so nice, I
really hated to see nylon in the center. The case has a cut out on the bottom
for the sync connector, and you can use a cable but not cradle while it's in the
case. While you probably won't sync the PDA in the case since you won't be able
to see the screen, you can charge it via cable while in the case.

PDA Buyer's Guide Home Click Here Click Here HP iPAQ 2210/2215 Pocket PC 2003
PDA —by Lisa Gade , Editor in Chief, posted June 19, 2003 The iPAQ 2210 and 2215
(they're the same unit with different model numbers used to designate the retail
channel through which they're sold) is big news. Why? The 2210/2215 is the first
iPAQ with an integrated CF slot and SD slot, and at a relatively modest $399, it
packs a lot of bang for the buck. It's also one of the first Pocket PC 2003 PDAs
to hit the market. In fact, Microsoft is scheduled to officially announce the
release of Pocket PC 2003 PDAs on June 23rd, but some 2210 and 2215's have hit
the shelves a few days prior, like ours. What is Pocket PC 2003, aka Windows
Mobile 2003? Pocket PC2003 is based on Windows CE 4.2, while prior Pocket PC and
Pocket PC 2002 PDAs were based on Windows CE 3.0. Microsoft is calling all new
devices based on Pocket PC 2003 "Windows Mobile 2003", including Pocket PC Phone
Edition PDAs with the new OS. What's the difference between Pocket PC 2002 and
Pocket PC 2003 PDAs? You won't notice much difference at all. There are numerous
bug fixes, improvements in page rendering times for Internet Explorer, a more
friendly user interface for setting up network connections, networking changes
under the hood, and support for 3rd party applications that are written for the
XScale processor. The OS itself still has not been optimized for the newer and
faster XScale processor, but now developers can offer enhanced versions of their
applications that should run noticably faster. This means that demanding
applications like multimedia players and games will likely offer more features
and run faster in the future. There are two versions of Pocket PC 2003: Pro for
the more basic Pocket PC models and Premium for higher end Pocket PCs. To the
end user, the differences won't be terribly important, except that MS Reader
seems to be absent from the Pro version. Apps like Terminal Services, MS Reader
and the new Pictures app are built into the OS stored in ROM in the Premium
Edition, while you must install it from the CD into RAM on Pro Edition (or not
get it all). Features and Horsepower The iPAQ 2215 (that's the model we have, so
we'll use that model number) has a transflective display, an SD slot that
supports SDIO, a CF type II slot that accepts both type I and type II CF cards,
built-in Bluetooth wireless networking, consumer grade IR, a 400 MHz PXA255
Intel XScale processor, 32 megs of ROM and 64 megs of RAM. 57.11 megs of RAM are
available to the user to run and store applications, and 3.8 megs of ROM are
available as the iPAQ File Store too. The battery is user replaceable, which
means you can swap a new one in whenever power's running low, or simply replace
a tired battery easily. This is a very full featured Pocket PC for the price,
and I must say that HP has come up with a gem this time! While previous
full-featured iPAQs were the most expensive Pocket PCs, this one offers just
about every feature a power user could want for $399. It competes well with the
Dell Axim X5 advanced, offering all the same features plus Bluetooth for a bit
more money. And while the Dell is quite large, the 2215 has similar lines, but
is significantly smaller and lighter. HP is targeting the 2215 at consumers,
while the iPAQ 5555 targets the corporate user. The 5555 has more memory,
integrated WiFi and a same biometric fingerprint scanner. However, the 2215 has
a CF slot, while you must purchase a separate CF sleeve for the 5555 and earlier
3000 and 5000 series iPAQs. The 2215 cannot accept iPAQ expansion sleeves, but
for many users that won't matter since the CF sleeve is probably the most
necssary and popular, and you won't need it for the 2215. How fast is this unit?
You can check out the benchmark numbers for yourself below, but let me tell you
it feels very fast. MPEG and Windows Media videos played back perfectly, games
run smoothly and all operations feel downright zippy. Experientially, this feels
like the fastest Pocket PC released to date. The only thing that is slower is
boot time from a soft reset (reboot). Design, Buttons and Ergonomics The 2215
sports a new design, that's somewhat reminiscent of the very popular iPAQ 1910
entry model. As stated, it is not compatible with iPAQ sleeves. It's an
attractively designed unit, with comfortable curves and rubberized sides that
help insure the unit doesn't slip out of your hand. The case is made of plastic
and well, it looks and feels like plastic. Fit and finish are very good, and the
buttons have a chrome finish. The unit is surprisingly small and light. How did
HP pack all this into such a small package? Miniaturization of components, which
raises the cost of the unit, but somehow HP kept the price reasonable. While not
as small as the tiny iPAQ 1940 , it is significantly smaller and ligher than
other iPAQ models and the Toshiba e750 and Dell Axim X5 which are its
competitors. It will easily fit into a suit pocket or pleated pants pocket. If
you're a record button or jog dial fan, you'll be disappointed that the 2215 has
neither. You'll get the standard front 4 button layout for contacts, calendar,
email and iTask, and these buttons can be mapped to other applications. The 4
buttons are small and you may find them hard to press when gaming. The center
round directional pad is a dream: large enough to be operated when playing
intense action games, yet not overly large like the old iPAQ oval D-pad. It
moves smoothly and easily in any direction, with enough tactile sensation to
work quite well in games. The CF and SD slots are located at the top of the
unit, as are the mic, stereo headphone jack and stylus. Compatability Despite
the new OS version, most applications ran fine on our 2215. Since Microsoft has
made changes to networking, it looks like we'll have to wait for new CF WiFi
card drivers from some card manufacturers, unfortunately. The SMC CF card did
work fine, but you won't see the neat new WiFi features built into the OS using
their PPC 2002 drivers. The Socket card does work with their PPC 2003 drivers
released June 24th, and you will get all the neat OS WiFi features with that
driver. If you tried previous versions of their drivers, you may have to hard
reset to get rid of the old drivers before the new PPC 2003 driver will work.
Ambicom also has 2003 drivers on their web site for their CF card , and it works
well. Some apps that I installed and ran without problems include Ilium
Software's eWallet 3, PocketTV Enterprise, many Conduits apps such as
Peacemaker, Pocket Artist and Pocket Watch, Resco File Explorer 2003 and
Registry Editor, NetFront 3, Palm Reader, Hexacto Bounty Hunter Pinball,
Interstellar Flames, Bust 'Em, Diamond Mine, Age of Empires and Hyperspace

didn't run correctly? Pocket MVP, Thunderhawk, CNETX FlashFormat and prior
Pocket PC versions of MS Money (go figure!). You can now download Money for
Pocket PC 2003, but you'll need to buy or upgrade to MS Money 2004 if you want
to sync Money on the Pocket PC to your PC. New versions of Thunderhawk and
FlashFormat are now available for the Pocket PC 2003 OS, and they work fine with
the 2215. Wincesoft.de has reased a version of Pocket MVP which works wel on
Pocket PC 2003 devices. The connector on the 2215 is the same as the iPAQ 3800,
3900 and 5000 series models. I tested HP's folding keyboard with the 2215 and it
worked perfectly. Existing cables and chargers work with this new model, but
HP's cradle for these other models will not. 3rd party products should also
work, though some may require updated drivers from the manufacturers. Screen and
Sound Transflective displays are absolutely gorgeous, and the 2215 is no
exception. It's a 3.5" display like the 1910, rather than the 3.8" found on the
top of the line iPAQs. Transflective screens reflect ambient light to illuminate
the screen (for outdoor viewability and power savings) and have backlighting.
How different is it compared to older technology reflective screen PDAs like the
Toshiba e740 ? Hugely different! Reflective screen PDAs look milky and lack the
color saturation and true blacks of transflective displays. Colors are also more
accurate. The screen is very bright and color saturated, and at medium
brightness I found it more than bright enough for my mediocre eyes. Unlike
previous high end iPAQs, the 2215 does not have an ambient light sensor, so you
can't set it to automatically adjust the screen brightness based on ambient
light. New in this model is a ClearType tuner, which allows you to control the
sharpness and color aliasing of text. The sound volume is pretty loud, though
not as loud as the iPAQ 5555 . You'll be able to hear reminders in a noisy
office when the volume is set to high. MP3s sound great when using stereo
headphones connected to the standard 3.5mm audio jack, and you'll find the
familiar iPAQ Audio Settings in the control panel, which allows you to set bass
boost, treble adjustment and mic gain control. Battery Life The 2215 has a 900
mA Lithium Ion battery which isn't that large compared to other full-featured
PPCs. However, so far run times have been very good, perhaps because the Intel
PXA255 is more power-frugal. With Bluetooth running and connected to an access
point, I've been able to surf the web for an hour with only about 17% battery
drain. In one test run starting with a fully charged battery, I played games,
tested my 3rd party software, surfed via WiFi using the SMC card for 1 hour,
watched three 5 minute videos using Windows Media Player and Pocket TV
Enterprise and still had 60% charge left. These activities spanned 4 hours of
fairly frequent use. I had the brightness set to 50%, and standby time set to 48
hours. As wtih recent iPAQs, you'll get a battery control applet. You can set
the "Standby" time (essentially how low you're willing to let the battery get
before it gives you warnings and shuts down to preserve the contents of memory).
So if you generally put it in the cradle each day or at night when you get home,
you can set a low standby time since you know it'll be charged frequently. This
can significantly increase runtimes. The battery is user replaceable, and like
other Pocket PCs and mobile phones, is located in the back under a door. You
have 10 minutes to change batteries before losing your data— so don't take one
out then forget to put a new one in. While the battery ostensibly looks like the
iPAQ 1900 battery, it is different, so you won't be able to use 1910 batteries
in the 2200 series PDAs. The cradle can charge a naked battery: it has space for
the battery and contacts behind where the iPAQ sits. Bluetooth HP has done an
excellent job of making Bluetooth relatively friendly. The new interface, like
the 5450's, is wizard based, and it walks you through connecting to a variety of
devices, from your ActiveSync partner (if you have a USB Bluetooth adapter
installed on your PC), to mobile phones and access points. I was able to use a
Sony Ericsson P800 as my modem, ActiveSync to a PC that has a Belkin USB adapter
and connect to the Internet via a Red-M access point . There are no software
settings to control radio strength, but the range is quite good and depends on
what you're connecting to. Phones have relatively weak Bluetooth radios, so you
will need to be within a 30 foot range. Our Red M access point has a strong
class 1 radio, and I was able to surf via Bluetooth when about 40 feet away
through walls and one floor away. Nevo: A/V Remote Control software plus
enhanced IR Since Nevo appeared on the iPAQ 3900 series it's been a big hit.
Nevo is an A/V remote control program made by the same company that does much of
the world's remote control software. Setup is easy, you can select your A/V by
brand, do a few tests and you're done. It has a very friendly user interface and
can control pretty much every piece of home entertainment equipment you've heard
of, and many you've never heard of. More brands and models can be downloaded
from www.mynevo.com . If you're a remote guru, you can add your remote by its
code as well. You can set up multiple rooms, and switch between them to control
the TV, DVD, cable box, receiver and etc. in your living room, and the TV and
stereo in your bedroom. This is more than just software: if you've ever tried
shareware A/V remote control software on Pocket PCs, you've probably noticed
that the range isn't very good (who wants to get up and stand within 5 feet of
her TV to change channels?). Compaq/HP beefed up the IR power to what they call
consumer grade for the iPAQ 3900 series, 5450 and 2215 models. You'll be able to
use your iPAQ to control your TV, DVD, Stereo and etc. from your couch, even if
you have a large living room. Some playful types actually enjoy using their iPAQ
and Nevo to change channels on TVs at consumer electronics stores and other
public venues . screen shot The Bluetooth Wizard. Software Bundle For the price,
the 2215 comes with a decent software bundle. Pocket Windows Media Player 9 is
included, as are the usual suspects: Pocket versions of Outlook, Word, Excel and
Internet Explorer. MS Money is no longer included and neither the version that
ships with Money 2003 nor the version that came wtih Pocket PC 2002 PDAs will
install . The iPAQ runs Pocket PC 2003 Premium Edition and comes with MS Outlook
2002 for the PC. Bundled 3rd party software includes Conduits Peacemaker Pro
(allows you to beam to non-Pocket PC PDAs), RealOne Player, AvantoGo!, Audible
(first month free), XcelleNet's Afaria, HP Mobile Printing for Pocket PC,
Westtek's ClearVue Office Suite which allows you to view native Word, Excel and
PowerPoint files without conversion, F-Secure FileCrypto, MARGI’s
Presenter-to-Go, and several trial versions of popular programs. Changes to MS
Built-in Applications 1. Pocket Internet Explorer now supports HTML 4.0, xHTML,
JScript 5.5 and WAP 2.0. It does render pages better and more quickly, and
better still, it requires less memory to run. 2. The Contacts app now supports
vCAL and vCARD. 3. Media Player 9 is a great improvement: you'll definitely
notice improved framerates and buffering. 4. Pictures, a new applicaton included
on Pocket PC 2003 Premium Edition models, is an image viewer that supports
thumbnail view, full screen view, slideshows and simple editing. 5. File
Explorer now can connect to network shares (shared folders on Windows machines).
6. You get a new game built into ROM, called Jawbreaker. It's the same as
Bubblets. 7. The OS has stronger built-in support for WiFi networking and can
simplify connecting to WiFi networks. Benchmarks We've run benchmarks using
VOBenchmark 3.0 from Virtual Office Systems . I've compared the 2215 , iPAQ 5555
and the iPAQ 5450 , all of which run a 400 MHz XScale processor . Higher numbers

Conclusion Go get one! For the price you get everything except built-in WiFi,
but you can add that with a CF WiFi card for under $100 additional. Great
transflective display, excellent expansion options thanks to the dual CF type II
and SD slot which supports SDIO, user replaceable battery, fast performance,
latest version of the OS means this thing packs a lot of power. The design is
attractive and the unit is very small and lightweight— you can't get a Pocket PC
much smaller than this except the iPAQ 1910, which offers fewer features.

MyPDACafe Sena makes a great looking case. It's immaculately made and this is a
case to show off to your friends. The iPAQ fits very well, and is fully useable
while in the case. It has ample compartments for your SD/MMC flash memory cards,
bills, scraps of paper, and even a mirror (optional item purchased from Sena)!
Sena has a case for the HP iPAQ h4350 that looks gorgeous, tough and functional.
You'd be hard pressed to find another case as impressive as Sena's.
BostonPocketPC "It is apparent that a lot of attention to detail and thought
went into the design of this case considering many things. I love the fact that
the cover is designed to alleviate pressure on the keyboard keys as well as the
iPAQ’s precious screen in a form fitting design, that makes you think, “Why
didn’t HP think of this?” Well I am glad that the folks at Sena Cases did."
PCdemano.com (41XX Case) . ..is the one that but I like since she is but the
small one and in addition to can use with the cradle of HP! (in SPANISH) .
PalmSpirit.com The French website PalmSpirit.com reviewed Sena PalmOne Tungsten
T3 case and the conclusion is: PERFECT (in French). PDAGeek ...The case is
lightweight, functional, and adds good protection. This is my personal favorite,
and my iPAQ rarely leaves the case or my side. ...After testing these cases for
about a month, I have settled on the Sena Cases model for my everyday use, and
am very happy with my choice PocketPCThoughts ...The leather case from Sena is a
very impressive product. The quality of leather is good and the fit and finish
of this case is simply perfect...The attractively finished leather flip just
adds to the overall impression of this case and I highly recommend it...
PDAFrance In a recent comparison of cases at PDAFrance Sena 2215 case received
the most stars in more categories.(in French). PCDemano.com In a recent
comparison of cases at PCDemano Sena 2215 case received the highest score (in
Spanish). GearBits: Palm Corner Can you improve on something that is already
great? If the case you are talking about is Sena, then the answer is yes. ...The
quality of the leather was superb. The quality of workmanship was also of first
class. The cutouts were where they are supposed to be, and the edges were clean.
I loved the fresh smell of the leather when I first opened the case. Sena also
improved the finishing on the edges of the case, and all the edges looked smooth
and made the case more attractive and quite expensive. ...Unlike other cases
that advertise as such, this case worked the first time I tried to
hotsync--there was no break-in period needed to hotsync the T/C in its case...
PocketPCPassion The Axim fits very nicely into this case. As I mentioned all the
cutouts are bang on. One thing that impressed me about this slipper case over
many others was how well it fits the screen of the Axim, and without any
distortion... ...To date I have found this to be one of the most functional
cases I have used. I think mostly because it has such a great spot to put a WiFi
card.. BostonPocketPC The case earns a 5 out of 5 stars due to its great
quality, very affordable price, as well as looks, fit and feel.. PRE ORDER

Review: HP iPAQ 2215 Reviewer: Steve Sande, Webmaster, PDAntic.com Date:
November 9, 2003 Click here for manufacturer's info page Several years ago, I
bought my first Compaq iPAQ - the 3650 model that wowed the world by setting the
standard for Pocket PCs. That iPAQ was a bit of a monster in terms of size. In
order to do anything with it, you had to slide on a plastic sleeve with a CF or
PC Card slot in it and slip in a memory expansion or communication card. As a
result, I wasn’t very impressed with the first iteration of the iPAQ because it
was just too big to carry around in a pocket! After all, at the same time Palm
was coming out with slim and lightweight devices like the Palm Vx, so the iPAQ
3650 seemed like a dog - a very BIG dog. To carry this canine analogy a bit
further, the Palm devices were like a Jack Russell terrier, while the iPAQ
seemed to be more like a Saint Bernard wearing a backpack. Here we are in 2003,
and things have definitely changed for the better. The HP iPAQ 2215 is a tiny
device with built-in Bluetooth, a CF slot AND a SD slot. To top it off, it is
one of a number of new iPAQs that run the Windows Mobile Pocket PC 2003
operating system. The new design and software makes the iPAQ 2215 a real winner.
Hardware To start off with, let’s go over the specs. The 2215 runs the Pocket PC
2003 Premium load (more about that later) with a 400 MHz Intel XScale CPU under
the hood. It comes with 64 MB of SDRAM, of which 56MB is available to users. The
display is a bright and very crisp 16-bit transflective TFT color screen, 3.5"
diagonal, with 240 pixels width and 320 pixels height. Expandability in a device
that is only 4.54" long by 3" wide by .61" thick seems like an oxymoron, but the
2215 packs in an SD slot with SD, SDIO and MMC support as well as a Type I/II CF
slot. It has an IrDA SIR infrared port and built-in version 1.1 Bluetooth, so
you don’t have to worry about filling one of those slots with a Bluetooth card.
The 2215 only weighs 5.1 ounces, so it’s not going to weigh down your bag or
pocket. Part of that weight is a rechargeable 900 mAH Lithium-Ion battery. HP
has listened to the voice of the consumer and has made this battery pack user
swappable, so if you run out of power during a flight you can simply pop out one
battery and drop in another. The iPAQ 2215 comes with a USB desktop cradle /
charger, an AC adapter, battery and charger adapter, a slip case, a getting
started poster, and an HP iPAQ Pocket PC Companion CD. Design The 2215 is very
svelte and feels good in my rather small hands. The case is made of a metallic
looking plastic. The plastic body doesn’t seem to be as slippery as the metal
cases on other Pocket PCs, which I found to be a very nice touch. I tend to use
all of my devices on public transit, so being able to keep a good grip on them
is a plus! There are little rubber side grips which have been a point of
contention for some users as they have been popping out. However, the unit I was
using seemed very solid with only a slight rattle (apparently the stylus shaking
in the silo) when I shook it. Compared to the HP 1910, the 2215 seems a bit
larger but it is still small enough to be considered a truly compact Pocket PC.
Looking at the front of the device, the power button and a pair of two
status/alarm LEDs are located above the display. Those LEDs are used to indicate
when the Bluetooth radio is turned on (the left LED flashes blue), and to
indicate alarms or battery charging. The right LED flashes amber when the 2215
is charging, glows solid amber when the battery is fully charged, and then
flashes green as a visual event alarm. Below the display are four application
buttons and a navigation button. The buttons are recessed slightly into the case
to prevent you from accidentally pressing them, and the navigation button is
very impressive. A lot of navigation toggles tend to be hard to move,
inaccurate, and are apt to either not respond when pressed or "double click" by
accident. Not the navigator on the iPAQ 2215 - the button moves smoothly in all
directions and clicks very easily. I usually avoid playing Pocket PC games
because I don’t particularly like using navigation buttons, but the 2215 is one
device that I could definitely grow to like as a Pocket PC gaming platform. The
2215’s display is just plain nice. It compares closely with the display on the
1910. I don’t like the fact that both the 2215 and the 1910 have done away with
the ambient light sensor that was featured on earlier iPAQs - it was always nice
to have the iPAQ automatically brighten or darken the backlight depending on the
surrounding light... Despite that, the display works well. I tend to read a lot
of eBooks on my Pocket PCs and Palm devices, and the iPAQ 2215’s display made
this unit one of the best eBook readers I’ve ever used. Speaking of reading
eBooks, ClearType is one technology that is very useful when you’re using your
Pocket PC as a mobile library. A new part of the OS is a tuning utility that
lets you adjust the level of text smoothing to your personal preference. On the
top of the 2215 you’ll find the SD and CF slots, the stylus silo, the
microphone, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and the IrDA window. I found it odd that
there’s no voice recorder button, although you can reprogram any of the
application buttons to do this. I like the fact that HP chose to use a standard
sized earphone jack so you can choose from a huge variety of headphones or ear
buds. Compared to my old iPAQ I found the volume through the earphones to be
quite loud - nice when you’re in noisy conditions. IrDA has become something
that very few people tend to use, but with the iPAQ 2215 you may be using it
constantly. Not only does the 2215 have a very strong IR signal, but HP bundles
the Nevo Universal Remote Control software in ROM so you can use your Pocket PC
as a very nice remote! I had it set up to run my big-screen TV, DVD player and
surround sound system in no time at all. Too bad I’m going to have to send this
back - it could replace the five remotes I usually have stacked on a small table
near my recliner! I think my wife -- who is usually bored to tears by my
constant parade of geek devices -- was more impressed with the remote control
capability than anything else I’ve tried out in the last few years! The only
nice thing I can say about the stylus that comes with the 2215 is that it isn’t
as bad as the flat popsicle stick that came with the old HP Jornadas... I ended
up using another collapsible stylus that I like to use with all of my devices.
As I mentioned earlier, there is no need for those obnoxious expansion sleeves
that you had to buy for earlier iPAQs. I ended up using the SD slot for a memory
card and the CF slot for a Socket WiFi card. This device gives me all of the
expansion I need without needing a sleeve - I love it! Another thing I was able
to do quite easily is pull a CF card out of my Canon digital camera, slide it
into the 2215, and then view the pictures using the included Image Viewer or
Pictures applications. The connector on the bottom of the 2215 looks like it is
identical to the one on the iPAQ 3800, 3900 and 5400 models. That makes it very
easy to use the charge/sync cables and keyboards that are made for these other
devices. The cradle that comes with the 2215 has two slots - you can pop the
2215 into one slot for charging and synching, and throw a spare battery pack
into the other to charge it at the same time. The back of the 2215 is where you
can slide in the battery, and that’s also where the speaker is. I found the
speaker to be quite loud and I think the 2215 would be a great travel alarm
clock as a result. In terms of battery life, I was able to get about 4.5 - 5
hours of steady use doing normal day-to-day Pocket PC functions (listening to
MP3s, playing games, reading eBooks, doing web surfing with Pocket IE and the
Socket WiFi card, and viewing pictures from a CF card. While that doesn’t seem
like much, it’s more than enough for my needs as I usually spend only about 3
hours a day using my Pocket PCs between charges. Figure 1: Part of my current
stable. The iPAQ 2215 is at left, the T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone is next, then the
HTC Tanager Smartphone, followed by the Nokia 3650 Smartphone. They're all
sitting on an Apple PowerBook G4 12" and there's an Apple Bluetooth Wireless
Mouse sitting behind them. Figure 2: The iPAQ 2215 is definitely the thinnest of
the bunch as you can see from this end shot. The order is the same as you see in
Figure 1. Bluetooth I am getting so that I really like Bluetooth. After years of
hype, it seems like every device that I get to test these days has built-in
Bluetooth so it’s easy to set up communications between the various "toys". This
was no exception. I decided that I’d pull a compatibility test once I turned on
the 2215, so I quickly turned on my Apple PowerBook G4 with its built-in
Bluetooth. Within seconds the two devices had recognized each other and it took
no time at all to navigate through the Pocket PC’s folders and even pull files
over to the PowerBook. It was also a no-brainer to send contact cards from the
PowerBook Address Book to the iPAQ and vice versa. About one week into my test,
I took delivery on a Nokia 3650 Smartphone. My main reason for buying this phone
was to use it as a Bluetooth GPRS modem for my various PDAs. My first test was
to try to create a "pairing" between the Nokia 3650 and the iPAQ 2215 to see if
I could do some wireless web surfing. Trying to use the Bluetooth Manager on the
iPAQ, I was totally unsuccessful in setting up the phone to work as a wireless
modem. It was very easy to get the two devices to recognize one another, but
making the iPAQ realize that it could use the Nokia 3650 to reach the web was
not going to be a "plug and play" setup. I ended up doing a web search on the
terms Bluetooth, iPAQ 2215 and Nokia 3650, and found a site that had step by
step instructions on how to set up the iPAQ properly. After about five more
minutes I had the devices set up properly, and tapping on the connections icon
at the top of the iPAQ screen let me connect to the internet through the Nokia
3650. Cool! Setting up and using email, MSN Messenger (I had upgraded to the new
version so it was actually usable), and Pocket Internet Explorer to use the new
connection was a no-brainer. Of these applications, I truly wish that Microsoft
would improve Inbox and Pocket Internet Explorer. Both are still rather limited
compared to best-of-breed applications. If I was going to do a lot of web
browsing using the dual-device solution (Nokia Bluetooth phone and the iPAQ) I’d
be sure to get a real browser like Bitstream’s ThunderHawk. One thing I was not
able to test was the ability to use ActiveSync over a Bluetooth connection. That
will have to await the purchase of an inexpensive USB Bluetooth adapter for my
PC as well as the purchase of either an iPAQ 2215 or (preferred!) one of the new
iPAQ 4350s. WiFi Compared to Bluetooth, I use WiFi religiously. I’ve had a
wireless network in my house since well before the WiFi standard was set in
stone, and I now have every device hooked up nicely through virtual wires (let
me tell you about the D-Link WiFi print server some day...). Microsoft sent
along a Socket Communications CF WiFi card so that I could test the 2215 with
it. I wasn’t looking forward to using WiFi on a Pocket PC - when I had my
Toshiba e740 last year I frankly found it to be a real pain in the arse to get
it set up to work on my wireless network. The latest version of the Pocket PC OS
makes WiFi setup easy! It was truly plug and play - I plugged the card in, and
it immediately recognized my network. All I needed to do was tell it whether I
was making a VPN or straight Internet connection, then enter in my 128-bit WEP
encryption code. The only easier WiFi experience I’ve had was with my Apple
PowerBook G4. One test I did was to open a large WMV file that I had created and
stored on my website. This file wouldn’t even run on other devices, but when I
opened it on the 2215 it loaded rather quickly and ran smoothly. That’s a
testament to both the fast network connection I had running as well as to the
power of this little device. System Speed I’m not going to post any benchmarks
here. I’m not sure I really trust benchmarks more than I trust my personal
feeling on how responsive a system is or is not. I found the 2215 to be
extremely fast in almost every aspect of operation. As mentioned, I had a few
photos (all JPEG images) on a CF card in my digital camera. I’m one of those
sick people who loves to take pictures at the highest resolution the camera has
to offer, so raw file sizes can be quite large. On my Pocket PC Phone and
earlier Pocket PCs, this was a painful affair - it would take so much time to
load even one picture that I didn’t bother trying to do a slide show. On the
2215 it seems to take only about 4 - 5 seconds for each picture to display. Not
bad! Software This is a rather hefty list, so let’s get started. In ROM, you

Comments There are a few negative comments I’ve heard about regarding the iPAQ
2215. Note that I have not personally been bothered by any of these problems,
but your experience may be different. First, several people have noted that the
alarm capabilities of the 2215 (possibly Windows Mobile Pocket PC 2003) are
buggy. Alarms sometime don’t turn on the Pocket PC and ring/vibrate/flash the
appropriate alert. I never ran into this myself, and I loaded up the 2215 with
all of my regular appointments. Hmmmm... This could be an issue if you were on a
business trip and were using the 2215 as an alarm clock. Another complaint I’ve
heard about is the lag between pushing the power button and having the unit turn
on. I have a Smartphone that requires a 4-second solid push on the power button
to turn it on, so I don’t consider a little lag time to be an issue. I really
liked the 2215 a lot more than I thought I would. It’s very small, has two card
slots for IO or memory expansion, and has enough RAM to make most Pocket PC
fiends very happy. It’s responsive. easy to connect to the world, and
inexpensive. I know some people may disagree that a $399 Windows Mobile Pocket
PC is inexpensive, but when you consider the power that’s packed into this
device it’s a bargain. If you don’t need the larger RAM capacity, fingerprint
scanner, or built-in WiFi of the iPAQ 5555, a 2215 will save you $250. For that,
you can buy yourself a nice SD card for memory expansion ($160 for a 512MB card)
and a WiFi CF card (I’ve seen ‘em as low as $70). And for about another $50, a
second battery pack will give you enough power to play with your 2215 all day.
An Alternative? If you’re in the market for a powerful PDA it’s definitely worth
looking at the iPAQ 2215. Its nearest competitor is the palmOne Tungsten T3 (
see review here ), which also runs about $399. It has the same amount of RAM, no
CF slot, built-in Bluetooth, an SDIO slot, and a screen that is remarkably
better than the fantastic display of the iPAQ 2215 - it features 320 x 480
(half-VGA) resolution! It also features the same CPU as the iPAQ 2215 but has a
better email client and browser than what Microsoft builds into Windows Mobile
2003. Sadly to say, I also found that using the Tungsten T3’s "Documents To Go"
application gave me better compatibility with Microsoft Office than the Pocket
Office applications (Pocket Word and Pocket Excel) did on the iPAQ. Microsoft
has made some decent upgrades to their OS but really needs to do some hard work
on the Pocket PC ROM applications because PalmSource is eating their lunch in
this area. Interested in buying an iPAQ 2215 or some accessories? Check the
