Hello Peter!

We at Ipaqcases.com feature some very nice cases for the 4155/4150 and the 4350/4355. Come at look at the cases - we do not have any reviews right now. Im sure if you ask Slava and post on our forums, you will find your answer very quickly as he is the owner and knows best!

4155 cases:

If you want a slip case, I highly reccomend the one from HandHeldPlanet. It is by far the slimmest case you will find for your 1900/4100 series device. It has become my everyday case.

If you are looking for a flip top case, my vote would go to the Vaja series of cases. I have bought a Vaja for every pocket pc I have owned and have never had any complaints. The leather is very high quality (maybe the best) and the case can be customized the way you like. They are expensive but worth it.

HTH!

I have a PielFrama case, and the quality is AMAZING. The ones made by vaja are very good also.

Mario,
Do you have the piel frama case for the 19xx or the new one for the 41xx series? If you have the first one does it fit well the 4155?
Thanks,
Peter

I really like the one that HP is selling for the 4100's. It is black leather, has a strong belt clip, and has two sd mm storage slots.

The best would be Vaja cases, for me! I have Vaja, Piel Frama and Krusell. It's just my opinion, it could be different if it were someone else!

I have the 1900 Piel Frama case and it's a great fit for the 4150. Except that it covers the IR.

VERY nice case though, real leather, looks great.

Hi Peter

I have a Piel Frama leather case for my 4150 and I'm very pleased with it. Almost as classy as a Vaja, and much better value

I ordered the Sena case for my 4150 on Monday morning, and received it Wednesday (Indianapolis). Great case for the money ($45 USD including shipping!).

It is very slim, which is a must-have for me, as I put it in my pocket, not on my belt. Significantly less bulky than the slip case that came with the 4150. The other great thing is that it has a magnetic closure, as opposed to an annoying snap or velcro tab, which contributes to its slimness, though the metal/magnets add a mm or two to the thickness when closed.

The leather covers the entire perimiter of the case, unlike some cases I have had in the past, and includes all cutouts to access all ports/buttons, including the reset hole!

The greatest feature is that I can sync/charge via cradle IN THE CASE! I do not have the extended battery, but have heard some people able to squeeze this into the case as well, though it is not designed for it, as far as I can tell.

The only thing slightly annoying is the leather on the sides of the screen tend to "curl" up a bit -- maybe this will diminish as the leather stretches to fit over time. It is a very secure fit.

Overall, a great case -- best bang for the buck I've seen, and ALL of the features I needed.

Gary

I agree that the Sena case is excellent for the h4150/h4155.

I purchaed the Sena case for my 4155 when they were offered preorder. It is a great case. I do have a preference for Vaja but I do not own one for my 4155. I tend to use my innopocket hard case everyday. I have owned many Vaja cases in the past and in my opinion they are the best leather caes on the market. They are however $$$$$. I currently own a Vaja I-Volution case for my Sony Ercisson T610 phone and it is awesome.

I wrote a long opinion in another thread. Didn't want to post it twice, but if anyone's interested, here's the link:

I just received my black Sena case for my 4155. I must say, I'm very impressed. Good quality leather, great look, and it fits the pda perfectly. The case looks much better than in picture. I wanted a case that won't bulk up my pda, and the Sena case did just that. I totally recommend this case if you are looking for a case that won't add 'extra' dimension to your slim 4150/4155.
