It cost me about £38 off ebay.uk and although it was a little pricey compared to other cases on there e.g. pdair alu ones etc it was 100% the style i was looking for.
i wanted one with the cut out for the headphone jack + stylus when closed, the high sides holding the hx4700 very firmly but easy enough to take out when docking, all the correct cut outs everywhere for buttons, pad, stylus and jack and a leather flipbook design. I must say that the build quality was 100% and it was certainly worth the money. Padding to the front and rear of the case is very ample aswell. It was presented well in a sexy box and came with the belt clip attachment which was easily removed (as i did).

anyway thats just what i thought so here are the pics.

NICE case... fine pics, too... Too early, I opted for the cases.com horizontal black smooth leather belt case--the clip is too weak, and it slides off too much--but on the positive side it does stretch fine to hold the Mugen 4500mah battery as well!

Verify your 1.10 ROM hx470x does NOT have the battery-crippling failure.. see http://www.ipaqhq.com/forums/showthr...2&page=6&pp=25 for details...

Hey,

Interesting! I have the exact same case for my 4700. I love it! Very nice. I bought it here in Singapore for $80 (Sing). The leather is beautiful and the fit is perfect, I agree.

Cheers!

Wow!! Where can I buy the box it came in?? LOL. Seriously, nice looking setup, and the way I would have gone if not already opting for the InnPocket ali case, the only downside of which is the super slick texture. I can see why they put rubbery grip bits on the edge.
Bill...;-)

Battery / wallet cases rock...There is even a 5700mah battery built into a wallet case for the hx4700 made by Neodigits. Runs for over 15 hours typicaly w/ ROM ver 1.00 [1.10 messes with it--watch out], and for 10 hours with wi+BT on!

Forgot to mention.. some people have even just cut away the wallet part for a huge battery of 570mah, but about the same size as the Mugen 4500mah battery.

Those rock. I wonder if you can buy these in the U.S.?

I got two cases.

A Krusell Handit, and an Innopocket Magnesium.

I use the leather Krusell around the house, and put the full metal jacket on when out.

Just curious. What make these superior to (for example) the Krussel cases which are quite a bit less money. Also the prices you quote seem very high compared to CASES.COM. Is there a difference?
It looks like a nice case and I wouldn't mind adding the two tone leather version to my collection down the road.

I've found out of all the cases I've owned that this feels the softest and most luxurious. The quality of the leather used is superb!

My vote for best case is the Neodigits 5700mah battery-wallet case. No belt clip, but there's a 5700mah battery in the case.... here for $119:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll... 441&tc=photo
or from Neodigits directly for $129. thay ship FAST, too, and take paypal....
I also alternate between this case and a cases.com horizontal smooth black leather case (45$) with Mugen 4500mah battery--yes, the attached Mugen fits in the case!

p.s. I'd not recommend using these batteries of you've upgraded to ROM 1.10 or are running ROM 1.10.. there can be some issues if so.... But on an non-upgraded 1.00 rom hx4700, you get like 10 hrs with BT+WiFi on, and 15hr+ otherwise... and you get a cool mini-wallet and usb charge cable (Free) with the neodigits 5700mah one. Only downside--cannot charge the neodigits-enabled hx4700 in the cradle....need a USB cable (and a LONG charge time) or the ac adapter with the ipaq connector adapter.
