Sena, Rhinoskin, or Innopocket case for my new Axim x30...thoughts?
I want to tap into the experience of the forum and ask which of the three would you buy? Thanks in advance!

I have the same question. So many choices. I am sure the experts here can give us more than a few good opinions. Thanks in advance.

all depends on what you're looking for

rhinoskin and innopocket make aluminum cases whereas Sena makes leather cases

for the x30, an extended battery is like a must-have so i'd consider the PDair extended battery metal case

or Sena makes a leather case that fits the extended battery as well

the extended battery is not a must for me. i am going to grad school and will be seeing clients and do not stray far from my computer. i don't use it to watch movies or play alot of games...so an extended battery is not a must for me right now. I guess that I am looking for the smallest profile possible. Of the leather, I like the Sena. In the aluminum...do you like rhinoskin or innopocket? Now of the two materials...which one? Thanks!

i like the style of the innopocket out of your choices

when it comes down to the difference, there isn't much... just depends on which name you want to go with... and the style (since rhinoskin has a small hump for the buttons)

I have an innopocket and it does have a hump on it. The one that you found on ebay looks like the real thing.

I love my innopocket and I have the 1100mAh battery which is bigger then the original one but not at big at the 2000mAh battery but it still fits in the case. So I would recommend the innopocket case.

Good luck with your decsion.

You might want to check out this review I did last year. If I'm not mistaken, the DSI is the same as the Innopocket.

Thanks.

I think the Sena has the smallest profile. The Piel Frama is a little nicer quality--not to demean the Sena, which is great--but the Sena actually became my everyday case.

In fact, I just bought a blue and black Sena for my X50v as my new everyday case. (And, it helps that I just won a new Piel Frama in the most recent contest here on Aximsite! )
