Rhinoskin Aluminum Cover

Hey Everyone,

Rhinoskin has a new aluminum case for Axim! I just backordered it. It is advertised for shipment March 25th. It really is a good looking case considering it is made of aluminum. You really can't beat the price of $34.95 at www.DirectCase.com. I hope Rhinoskin is true to its shipment date :) or I'll be one disappointed customer

Please let us know how you like your case after you get it. I'm interested in knowing if the cover interferes with with holding or writing when it is open.

Cheers!

Hmmmmmmmmm. Take a look at innopocket.com's aluminum for the Ax. Spittin image of the Rhino case. Even the price is the same.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Back!!! You are right about the innopocket.com, the two covers are identical! I wonder if innopocket.com cover is immediately available. I'll wait for the one from Rhinoskin and report on its functionality.

Hmm Clip?

Any chance that anyone knows if the Rhinoskin version has a built in belt clip?

The thing that I'm the most concerned about is whether or not the front of the case can fold completely behind the Ax when I want to use it. . .if not, it'd be incredibly hard to get a good grip on the Ax while the case is open.

Looks to me like innopocket and rhinoskin's cases are identical (made by the same 3rd party?).

The photographs on innopockets web page and directcase.com's photograph of the rhinoskin product are the exact same photograph.

hi,

If you want to buy a case like this, take a look at Forums-hardware-accesoires and the innopocket.com poll. They're trying to get a discount out of it.

I ordered the Innopocket aluminum case a few weeks ago. I usually don't order things without at least seeing picture of it first, though I was impressed with their other cases. I received the free neoprene case after about 10 days. It's a pretty nice case, especially for being free:) They finally put a pic of the aluminum case one their site. I just hope they ship them soon!

Not in Directcase

Does anyone know why the Axim hardcase no longer shows up on www.directcase.com. Are they still selling it?

Worried

Seems RhinoSkin has struck a Dell and the case will only be available on the Dell site and RhinoSkin site. You can get on the list to be notified when it becomes available at www.rhinoskin.com.

Just so you guys know, I had a pre-order in with DirectCase.com for the Rhinoskin aluminum case. Though they don't show it on the site any more, they shipped mine today.

I guess they just took as many pre-orders as they expected to receive in stock.
