Flip cover

I am extremely interested in the flip cover for the axim, However, I think that $27.95 is a tad pricy for the darn thing.

Anyone bought one of these?

I bought one. It's a nice cover, but my Axim keeps turning on when it's in my pocket ... I'm not sure if the cover is bumping it or something else (never had this problem when I was using the huge bulky case that came with the Axim)

(on the other hand, at the same time I put the cover on, I also put a screen protector on, but I don't think the screen protector is causing this)

any chance you can post pictures? Like of the top view of the axim with the cover on. The pictures on that site suck, I wish online vendors would realize that having clear descriptive pictures is what sells products online! (for example, see newegg's pictures).

I'm just concerned with what it covers (the CF slot?) and how it folds back? does it fold back 360 degrees so the cover is along the back or does it just stick up off the axim (180 degrees)?

It sticks up 180 degrees I don't like it!! But it beats the case that comes with the unit

that is lame.. I guess its better they don't have pictures, pictures would just show that it sucks.

I did pick up the flip cover and the thing has several faults!

It flips over to aprox 180 degrees which is good. The Velcro, when centered on the back of the unit, covers the backup battery cover. If you have your calandar set up to turn on to remind you of an appointment, the pad that sits atop the screen starts acting as a stylus changing anything and everything that you have on the PDA. This happened to me and I had to redo my today screen because when opened it up the settings were opened and mangled with. I'd give the thing about a 1.5 out of five. However it is the only thing going now.

I really wish there would be a Visor like cover that clips on and off.
