Online is the way to go

90% of what you might want for the X5 is going to have to come from the Internet. As far as cases, the options are endless. A couple of the primo makers are Vaja and Sena--I have a Vaja case for my iPaq 3630 and the Sena black and red for my X5.

WiFi cards are guaranteed to be way too expensive at regular stores...if you can even find them [getting on soapbox] and it it amazes me at CompUSA, Best Buy, etc., almost all you can find are stupid PCMCIA cards (who in blazes uses those bulky pieces of junk these days?) and MAYBE an Ambicom card tucked away in some dark corner of the behind-the-counter display that the salesperson is completely clueless about. These stores need to drop the PCMCIA cards and get with the times--CF and SD [climbing off soapbox].

As far as protective sheets, I don't much look for X5 specific sheets. I've used two different brands, just looking to see if the screen dimensions are the same. It doesn't bother me if the sheet is 1/32 of an inch too short since you can barely tell and I never tap that close to the edge anyway. If it's a hair too long I either trim it with an exacto or carefully tuck it under the bottom lip of the casing. I've never had an issue and I can get them anywhere the sheets are sold.
