Well I made the mistake of ordering the Dell case with my unit. It's way bulky with not a whole bunch of padding ;). I'm going to ship it back. I'll be looking for a hard case. I'm not sure I want a Sena case (good reviews to the contrary). I want some protection and I want to hold the baby in my hand. I thought I'd start a new threat for recommendations on hard cases. I realize a lot of makers have been caught napping with the popularity of the axim. Great forum!!
:D

I don't like my Dell case either. I think the $29 case was poorly designed ... the lips that hold the Axim in block portions of the lower screen. The case that came with it as standard is useless because you can't use the Axim while it is in it. I am also looking for a good SOFT case.

Do you think Dell will take my other case back?

I suggest you try the grinder gear case reviewed on this site. There are different types and i currently own the scout case. it is easy to hold and easily holds my axim :D ;) :p

Ok: Just got off the phone with Dell. You have one month from time of delivery (?) to return your case. I'm waiting for my screen protectors to come and returning those as well, after reading the Reviews section of this site and other postings. I've ordered the Brando Workshop Protector Plus from ExecutivePDA.com . See the excellent information on them at http://www.aximsite.com/cgi-bin/revi...EqCUeDwad.html

Have you looked at innopocket.com? There are a number of threads about this excellent case.

I sent my Axim and case back because the interior of the zipper scratched up my Axim. I am looking for a replacement now.

I just got my Belkin case from Dell. It is very very poorly constructed. It just doesn't fit. Stay away from this one. Maybe Belkin sent Dell a bunch of seconds to get rid of at a reduced price. You get what you pay for.

for a very good hard case take a look at:

www.innopocket.com

there are a lot of resellers of this product so search a little and you will find yourself a good deal!!

I have the sena myself, compeltely awesome, best PDA case I've ever seen. It is leather, and is fairly thin, but that means it doens't add hardly anything to the form factor. I can fit in there some credit cards, a WiFi card, sd cards and more and it doesn't add to the thickness of the case at all, the flip cover is so well designed that all that fits into the screen indentation, only leather, rather than hard edges floats just above your case, but that way it doesn't make the setup any thicker, not possible with the hard ones as far as I can tell.

It allws for controlling of MP3s whil in my pocket by mapping the side buttons, and can be used on top of the keyboard. The screen cutout and key cutous look great, fit perfect, and make for a comfortable grip.

I've dropped the case a few times, it is padded enough, and the Axim is durable enough on its own (over the screen its very padded since that's where all the pocket etc, are, standard it comes with a mirror that is the size of the screen to cover it but I store a CF card, an ID card, and some SDs in there instead) so that both the case and the axim came out unharmed from a 3+ foot fall to gravel, and another, greater fall to concrete. The leather itself got a few scratches but they were easily polished out.

Hard cases are more likely themsels to be damaged, and are harder to use while in your hand generally, so i would consider an alternate leather. Sena basicalyl stores allthe things the Dell does without adding hardly any size. The axim, SD cards, WiFi card, business cards, and an ID card fit easily inside the original dell case that comes standard.
