I bought a Piel Frama leather case lately for my 4700. I was quite disappointed because it is very stiff and you have to force the iPAQ into the case. I had a Piel Frama case for my 3970 which was very smooth and perfect. Now I ordered from Vaja Cases. Hope the new case will be better.

I also have one and the cutout for CF is ugly. The cutout between stylus and CF is too nearby and very thin which will be easily torn. The stylus cannot be pull out in the cutout unless open the flap cover. I have ordered a vaja case on 29Nov and awaiting for the delivery. I have one for my iPAQ h2210 which is very good among all my 4 previous cases. I trust vaja is the best amongst others.

Yes, man. The CF cutout is very ugly. So I am looking forward to that case from Vaja. I hope it will be here by next week.

I have the PF and the Sena, and greatly prefer the Sena. PF seems quite over-rated based on how much people raved about them vs what I actually saw.

Wow... I did not know the Sena cases. But they look quite good. And also they are not so expensive like the Vaja ones. Thanks for that tip. I hope I will get my Vaja case by next week.

I got the piel frama.. and i stress i do n ot have the CF/SD cutout.. its very good.. im very happy and its soft and not stiff at all.. very good case.

I opted against sena because of lack of availability and also the edgest were more visible...

In the meantime I also like my Piel Frama case. The leather got soft, the more I used it. Now it is nice. I also got the Vaja case. But the Piel Frama is nicer.]

that's interesting especially since the Vaja's can get up there in price, I have a Piel Frama for my 4350 but have not used it much since I won a Krussel case on this site. I just got a Sena for my X50v and while it is a nice case the Piel Frama has the nicest leather of any case I have used.

Seems people in this thread have no taste *ducks for cover*. The sena case is awful - it feels more like PVC than leather! The Piel Frama has luxurious thick spongey leather. I like the cutout for the stylus, it means it wont get pulled out while its in your pocket - you can only pull it out when its open. The CF cutout is functional... I have both the Sena and the Piel, I think my PDA has been in the Sena for about 2 minutes in total

Check out the Magnum case by innopocket. It's not leather but IMHO, it's one of the best case made for the 4700. http://www.innopocket.com/web/showPr...=130&name=Palm

This is my second Piel Frama Case, first was for iPAQ 4355, and I love them. There is no CF cutout on this new one.

I guess they stopped making the cutout after realising that it left a very thin patch of leather which could tear in careless hands.
