I received my second case from CaseTechWorks.com today. The first one is still doing fine, but I wanted to try a new style.

I am TOTALLY impressed with this one, too. It opens to the RIGHT, and has a wide-open top side for my WiFi card to stay in place.

SD card and credit card slots, and the fit around the Axim is excellent.

Whoa, very cool looking! Thanks for sharing the link, it's definitely something to keep in mind when looking for a new case. My husband really likes that style, too.

Nice case, but I'd like one with the Axim on the right side that opens to the left.

Has anyone used the Belkin zippered Executive Case for the Axim? I'd be interested in comments about it.

I was looking at the very same one! I'm almost ready to buy one. How is the fit?
And the cut-outs for the controls on the side?
Does it add a lot of bulk?
Is it easy to slide it in and out when you have to put it in the cradle?

I am trying to decide between this one and the other one that can be used with the cradle. What your opinion on the comparison between these? Some extra pictures would be appreciated!

Well this case certaninly has the style. But If I want to go the geek route and hang it off my belt I am not sure adding a clip will give me that deep down feeling of contintment that only a true technophobe will fill.
Oh the pain of trying to decide.:rolling:

EJB:

I'll be brief in answering your specific questions:

•Fit = tight, perfect
•Cutouts = present, well-placed
•Bulk = Not much at all on the Axim side, the extra flap adds about as much as you'd expect on the opposite side

As for the cradle, I don't slide it out much because I sync with a USB cable (which works fine with the case). The fit might be a bit too snug for regular removals at first, but I can see it loosening up over time.

If you'll look at their main Dell Axim page, you'll see another case called the "BattPak."

That's the other case I have from them and it qualifies as "geek," complete with belt clip and spare battery pocket.

Saw that one but geeez luggin the extra battery around is to much even for me.....but I may order it and leave the extra battery out. I like the card slots. Not sure about putting credit cards that close to the magnetic holder though.:crooked:
I do like the style and functionality.
Thanks for the tip:D

Nice case! How can you fix your AXIM in it? Do you need some adhesive tape?

Sorry, it's "slip-on" fit on the left side of the case, right? I should have seen the pic carefully!

My case solutions are the proporta aluminium case for light travel...this is a stonkingly nice piece of kit that adds nothing to the weight and size of the Axim and makes it look all chic. www.proporta.com

My other case is the PDA Plus case from www.pdaskins.com. This lets you hold the Axim, cards galore and the foldable keyboard! Or your mobile....this is a must for me on business trips.

Question on that case or similar. I need one that I can slip my checkbook in. Will it accomadate one?

Yep, it just holds your Axim in place.

This one won't, sorry. It's not much longer than the Axim, which makes it just a little too short.
