Sena Case review

I just received my case from Sena and am very pleased.

I ordered the red/camel. It came nicely packaged in a red box. The case was inside a soft cloth pouch. I don't know if this was on purpose or a coincidence but the pouch is camel with red ties. A nice touch.

The case itself is a lovely soft leather and is beautifully sewn. The two colours match up perfectly with no gaps or rough spots. The top stitching is all in red and is even and nicely done. The logo is subtly embossed on the lower front edge. I like that, I'm not fond of big obtrusive logos on things.

The Axim slid in easily but is not loose. Shaking it upside down does not make it move even a tiny bit. Everything that should be accesible is, the openings fit perfectly just where they should. The inside of the case is mostly red with just a bit of camel. This case looks expensive but not flashy. I like it a lot. There is plenty of room for a couple of SD cards and a CF card. I've left the protective mirror in and can still fit 3 credit cards in there as well. It does not fit into the cradle with the case on.

Overall (espeically if you ordered early and got the discount) this is a great buy. Highly recommended.

You can see pictures I took of it here

Quinn,
Can the cover fold all the way back? If so, is it comfortable holding the Axim this way? I'm concerned about the cover flapping around if it doesn't fold all the way back.

Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know how much you like your case. I can't wait for mine to come - hopefully this week sometime. Waiting for it is almost as bad as the initial wait for my Axim to come!

I just got mine today and yes the flap folds all the way back. It's a nice little case.

Yes the leather is nice and soft and the cover does fold all the way back and it felt reasonably comfortable that way.

Agree across the board

This is a great case! I agree with your observations. I'm psyched :)

One thing I didn't mention in my review (and I'm sure it applies to all cases) is that the rubber grips on the side of the Axim make for a great fit. It grips without having to be super tight. It's easy to slide the Axim in and out of the case but it doesn't slip around or fall out. Bare metal against the leather would probably be kind of slick.

My Sena case is going back. Very disappointed in it. Not nearly as nice leather as EB slipper case. Not padded as well either.
Looks ok...blue/black.

When did you order when did it come

I ordered my sena case on February 3rd, but It has not come yet. I live near Detroit so it would take me longer than someone on the west coast.

Can several people post when they ordered and when it arrive?

Thanks
