Stores that sell Piel Frama/extended battery case. Price review
I posted that message at X3 forum, but this applys to X30 as well.

Mission: To buy Piel Frama case for my X3i with extended battery.
After reading many reviews, I decided to buy this case. Its relatively expensive but it seems like money well spend
Well, after extensive research I found that there aren't many retailers that sell it. So here what I found out:

Aximcases.com $47 + $6 for shipping Total $53
Galanteya.com $51 + $6 for shipping Total $57
PielFrama.com 60 euros + shipping (international) Total around $90
PDAdomain.com $46.99 + 1 cent shipping Total $47

So I decided to get it at PDAdomain.com Got it in 3 days. Along with the case I decided to buy screen protectors also $7.99 for one. I already have screen protector from boxwave.com and I noticed that the protector that I got from pdadomain is very similar to boxwave if not the same.
I always thought that boxwave produce them, but it seems like that they are getting them from the same manufacturer. If anyone knows if this is the case?

Anyway I love my new case, and I totally agree with the all reviews.

Mission accomplished!

Do the magnets effect use of the PDA? is it a tight fit or is it just perfect? Is that the only extended battery case available for the x30/x3?

O yea, do you notice any of the card pressing against the screen?

Well, This case fits perfectly. I'm sure there are other extended battery cases available , but I heard and read so many positives about Piel Frama cases, so I didn't even looked elsewere. Since I don't carry (at least so far) extra memory cards (I only have one) I can't anwer if it pressing against the screen, but it seems like the card pocket located bellow the screen, somewere around bottons, so I don't think this should be an issue. I'm not sure what do you mean about magnets effecting using PDA. My Axim works the same as before
I hope it helps.

Does anyone have a screenshot of what the X30 looks like with an extended battery? Does it just stick out of the back a few centimeters?

Thanks

I've got the Piel Frama case with the standard battery, and I'm very impressed. The fit around the record/wifi buttons and around the microphone isn't perfect, and the antenna cutout isn't perfect, but that's the problem when you buy stuff handmade by humans. I like it a lot. And it got here (UK) from Spain in two days: I ordered it along with my Ax on Tuesday, got the case on Thursday and the Ax on Friday.

If I go with the extended Battery that is the case I will buy. I've heard nothing but good things about it. Thanks for the info on price. It seems to be a large spread.
