when should we expect quality leather cases?

Coffee Fiend · 11-18-03, 02:27 AM

I'm getting my X3 in a few wks, but as of yet none of the companies I'm considering have their case done. Any ideas on when I should be expecting to see them available? (I'm considering Vaja, Piel Frama, Sena)

I think I read on sena website they are going to release one soon. I dont have any indication of a date..

sorry

I just bought a Piel Frama from AximCases.com. For my money, nothing beats the quality of leather from Piel Frama.

Anybody ever hear anything about this leather case for the X3i from Handheld Planet? Looks pretty affordable.

I'd love to find something decent to use when I wear a suit jacket to work, but not something that's gonna break the bank.

Piel Frama, and Krussells would work well with a suit jacket.

Magicmonger-

The Piel Frama looks nice...but a little more expensive than I was hoping to spend. I'd expect the Krussells would be similar.

Thanks anyway.

I love my Belkin leather case, affordable and quality.

xdalaw · 12-21-03, 10:13 AM

Does the Belkin have a built-in belt clip? (I don't like or need one.) The one I saw on the Dell site sounded as though you couldn't avoid it.

If it is included, can you take it off and carry it comfortably in a suit jacket chest pocket?

Does the belkin case hold the pda securely? Does it use velcro or just the cussions?

I bought the Belkin directly from Dell. It has a plastic holder for the X3 and is great quality leather. Unfortunately, this makes it bulky, and the main reason I chose the X3 is because of its size. The front and back are double layers of leather and it has the Dell logo embossed. If you want rugged, you can't beat it except for a hard case. If you want thin, this isn't the one for you. I will be returning mine to Dell.

Review for this case is coming up soon, already
submitted to Chris, it is a nice looking case but does have
a few flaws.

Pete-

Thanks for the update. I look forward to reading your review. My buddy just bought the Ipaq version of the case for himself.

I ended up ordering the Krusell leather case sold at Aximcases and Moonlight Technologies. Any thoughts on that one--I haven't received mine yet?

It looks a little bulky, but it's a well known brand and the price was pretty good--under $25.00.

Thanks.

I have not seen the Krussle in person, but in my opinion
it looks great, plenty of room around the buttons, secure
SD card slots, the few things I can not tell from the pics,
if the standard connector will fit through the bottom of
the case (it did not fit with the handheld planet case). and
I cant tell how well protected the corner where the wifi antenna
is. From the pics it doesnt look well protected.

anyway the price is definately right for the krussle.
