Smallest case?

bjmumy · 05-25-03, 04:35 PM

What is the smallest case for the Axim? I'm looking for a little protection but I like to carry my PDA in my pants pocket and am looking for the closest fitting case. I don't really want just a flip cover because I don't want to stick velcro onto the back of my Axim. Is the aluminum Rhinoskin case going to be my best bet in terms of size?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah I think the rhinoskin is the smallest one!

Yep i have the innopocket alu case, its small and solid and still gives access to all the axim bits and pieces.

The DS-International Pocket Armor is a "flip cover" that DOES NOT velcro onto the back of the Axim. It offers a little more protection than the traditional flip cover that you may have seen on other sites. Click Here To Check It Out.

The DS-International Pocket Armor doesn't look too bad but it looks to me like it doesn't have any size advantage over the rhinoskin and offers less protection. Unless someone else has another idea, it looks like the rhinoskin is the case to have for those of us wanting small cases. Anybody know where the best place to buy from is right now?

Thanks!

The Pocket Armour case is interesting because it leaves the original rubber grips exposed (less slippery), because it flips up (easier to hold, especially for us lefties), and because it appears it will work with GPS and/or WiFi CF cards. Has anybody reviewed this case?

If you don't care for the aluminum of the RhinoSkin, there's this padded leather sleeve from CaseTechWorks.

That shows the Axim fully inserted into the sleeve, just pull it out for use. It stays in a pocket of my cargo pants all day.

Good luck in your search!

I think that Innopocket (Rhino Skin same thing) is the smallest!

I just tried to place an order with RhinoSkin using the coupon code and their web site said "We're sorry. The specified promotion has expired."

I put the code in the "Promotion code:" box but left the "Source Code:" box blank. Did I need something in the "Source Code:" box or is the discount no longer valid?

I tried it too...Didn't work.

I finally decided to order the DS-International Pocket Armor. What I would really like is a flip cover for the screen, but I don't like the unit that velcros on the back of the Ax. Plus, this give a little more protection than a flip cover, not that the Ax seems to need much protection. I just hope it doesn't look too dorky.

I use the Rhinoskin and it would be difficult to imagine one that would be "smaller". I also feel that the neoprene cushion offers additional protection for those "unexpected" falls.

What about the Rhinoskin compared to the Veja Case? Is the Veja just as small? I never thought it would be this hard to choose a case!
