Heart Review: Grinder Gear, the ultimate in case adventures

Ok, until the Review Section gets re-enable on the site, I figured I would post this here.

Cases by Grinder Gear - http://www.grindergear.com

Now this review is really nothing compared to all the other reviews that they have already recieved. You can check them out here - http://www.grindergear.com/faq.html#reviews

Now people who would be interested in these cases would fall into basically two categories - Adventurous or wants to carry the kitchen sink with their Axim.

They offer 3 different cases -
The Basecamp - http://www.grindergear.com/basecamp.html

The Scout - http://www.grindergear.com/scout.html

The Expedition - http://www.grindergear.com/expedition.html


The difference between the 3 are how many extras you can carry with your Axim. The Scout is the smallest of the three, while the Expedition can almost carry the kitchen sink ;)

Each one of them is designed for an adventure of hiking, backpacking, cycling, etc. In fact, there cases have protected PDAs that have gone to both the North and South poles.

I chose their most popular case to purchase, and that was the Basecamp.

Now all 3 models come with their Quick Release Belt clip. It allows you to have the case on your belt and then push a button to remove it. This is a really nice touch.


Now, to review the Basecamp.

Construction - 5 out of 5 Stars. This is well constructed from great materials. It can really take a beating. The inside is padded with Fleece, so it really protects the screen and the device over all.

Design - 5 out 5 Stars. The Basecamp offers a holster like design (one of the main reasons I purchased it). It also contains a nice front pocket that you can fit many accessories into from extra cards to taking over for your normal wallet. The only thing is that it is sometimes difficult to remove the axim from the case. If you push your axim down into it, you may need to squeeze the sides at the bottom to push it up enough to remove, however, it provides great security for your Axim so their is no worry if you drop the case, and the axim will not accendentally slip out.

Look - 5 out of 5 Stars They offered a couple of choices that fit the standards of your typical backpack.

Overall, you can think of the Basecamp as a Backpack for your Axim. I give it a 5 out of 5 Stars. :D

One final note - Take their online survey. If you do, you get a 5% off discount your order. Plus, they value their customers, so any additional purchases in the future gets you 5% off.

They are only available online, but I ordered mine on a Saturday and recieved it on Wednesday.

So if you like to backpack, camp or whatever and you want to take your Axim with you, check out Grinder Gear http://www.gindergear.com

Second the opinion.

Used a Basecamp for my visor. Worked great!
Even the Axim fit into it.
I now use an EB Slipper case, but use the Basecamp if I am out and about and need extra protection.

Plus, I bought my basecamp before they had the belt clip. Emailed Grinder Gear about retrofitting. They said to send it back and they retrofitted--No charge.:D
