Aluminum or Leather??
I need a good case for the x30. I want slim and trim, lightweight, and functional. Any suggestions??

I got my X30 with the Dell leather case. It looks nice, has two slots for SD cards, and three for busines cards, stamps, etc. The magnetic clasp holds well. I like it, though I am careful since it's not an aluminum case.

Hi, I bought both of them. The innopocket Aluminium hard case an a leather case (bellagio) for my Axim X30 and the look of a leather case is way too much better than the aluminium.

Nowadays i always use the leather case.

For better looking PDA go for the leather ones.
For protection go for the aluminium.

In my own experience both cases do a good job protecting the X30 in common situations (note here "common situations", at the moment I doesnt have any "none common situations" to regret), but the leather one looks better.

Hope that helps...

Piel Frama makes a very nice leather case. All the cutouts and snug fit.

Got both cases but I use leather all the time due to metal case is hard to hold when open. The metal lid is not fold back, just lay sideway, metal case isgood for transport but not daily use. Leather should be a better choice, especialy if you use X30 for GPS with powered windshield holder. Hope it help.

I have both, but I stick with the metal. It's safer and it has a sd slot for an extra card in it.

Actually, I'm fairly partial to my Belkin Leather Flip Case. It allows me access to everything I need and has slots for 4 SD cards, as well as 2 Business card/Credit Card slots.

Hi,

for those flipped leather cases, will it damage the screen when it's closed? the flipped side has storages for SD cards, credit cards...Will it press against the screen when it's closed? Advice needed. Thanks

My case still has a little bit of space between the cover and the screen. As with any soft case if pressure is put on it then the screen might be in danger but under normal use the screen will be fine.
