CND$379 was a very good price, one for my friend, one for myself. They're on the way. also I'm a Newbies come to the X51 world, so exciting!

I have to carry my X51 around when i'm working in a food service company(food preparing, inventory, etc.), so a rugged hard case will be a good choice. Could u guys please tell me which one is better between the "RHINO SKIN" and "Magnum", or some another ceses? and where to buy, I'm in Canada,

thanks a lot!

Aximcases.com ships to Canada (just bought a Sena from them), so that's probably your best bet (and you can get a 15% discount for being an Aximsite member).

As for the cases themselves, I've only ever used a Rhinoskin and I loved it. Popular opinion on the forums seems to be for the Innopocket Magnum but it seems to be hard to find in stock anywhere :(

NO on the rhino skin, way too much for a badly design case. Tthe screw on the back to hold the belt clip on the back constantly unscrews by itself, expect it to constantly drop. I have seen other cases built just like the rihno for half the price, check out some of the links on this site thats where I have seen them. Cant say anything about the Magnum never owned it, sorry. Good luck, happy hunting, and welcome to the Aximsite, the best site on the web!!!

Welcome to Aximsite fellow Canadian :approve:

www.aximcase.com is a good place to start. I am also from Canada and try to avoid UPS delivery or it will cost you more than expected due to their Brooker fees. I used both and prefer the Magnum case.

I use a Rhinoskin I got from Dell with my machine. I found the solution to the unscrewing peg problem is as simple as a 3mm stainless steel lock washer. For what it's worth, I never had a problem until I wore out the nylon washer that comes with the case from removing and installing the peg constantly.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give that a try. :approve:

But, I still feel for the price your paying on it you shouldnt have to do these type of modifications in order to solve a design flaw.

Might want to try a bit of blue or red locktite assuming you want to leave the screw in permenently. Personally, I left the screw out and keep the case in my pocket. I love my Rhino, and since I don't care about the screw, highly recommend it, rather then the cheap immitations (which I also have one of for another reason), for anyone that doesn't care about the belt clip.
