Experiences with Piel Frama?
http://www.pielframa.com/

Has anyone ordered from here for a case. I sent them an email about placing an order on one of their cases. I haven't received a response yet. I'm wondering if it got thrown in with their junk mail or if it's because they aren't really interested.

Oh no there are a lot of happy customers around here. From what I understand, they make a great product. I wouldn't know first hand since I went with Sena.

Why don't try cases.com?
I've already bought 5 cases from them -3 piel frama and 2 sena.
Always got my orders in a week after i've placed them. I am in New Zealand.
Very happy with all cases, but I like Sena more then Piel Frama.

Also you can use 15% aximsite discount.

I'm sorry to read that you have experienced trouble with Piel Frama - I ordered direct and had my case (made in Spain) in three days - I've done this three times (twice for me (X3 and X50) and once for Mrs Jogga (another X3)). I dropped an email to the Company after my first order to compliment them on their service and quality and had a reply within 24 hours!

The cases are expensive but I have found the quality and service to be unbeatable and would recommend them to anyone.

I'm happy with my Piel case. It was delivered sooner than the quoted delivery date. They are a lot quicker and cheaper than Vaja and the quality is comparable.

I wanted to ask them a couple questions before ordering. Here are the questions I asked, just in case members here could answer.

1. Is it possible to get the Ocurris wallet case in crocodile skin and if so, how much that would be?

2. What are the differences between the Ocurris wallet and the Al-Andalus wallet exactly. I can't see much of a difference?

3. On the croc skin case in the description, it says there's a money slot, but I can't see where that would be. Where would that be?

Can anyone answer these questions?

OK...

I've sent now 2 other email a almost a week apart from each other without any response. Is this normal, or is my email getting thrown in the spam bin by mistake perhaps?

Try cases.com. Today got another case and screen protectors from them. Very happy - god stuff and fast delivery. I've submitted my order 5 days ago, and I am in New Zealand.

Choosing between 2 cases
I finally got email from Piel Frama

I am stuck between choosing 2 cases. The croc-skin case and the cow-skin wallet case. The wallet case is nice because then I can carry all my money (Not much though) and cards, and the PDA will never have cards brushing up against the screen. The plain croc-skin notepad style case is small and easy, I would not carry my cards in it though for fear of scratching the case, but I could still carry some money.

Which would you buy?

I'm pleased that they finally came through for you - did they offer a reason for the delay?

As for which one - I bought three of these in black & tan

They said they never got my first few email. I used my gmail account for that. I used my ISP mail add. to email again. It got through.

Any reason not to go with the croc skin on the PDA's?

No reason at all: I am sure that you will be absolutely thrilled with any PF case

I have the crocodile case for my x51v. It's a great case. My only dislike is the lack of a hole for the reset button. I had to use a leather punch to make my own hole. We all know how many times we have to soft reset our Axims on a daily basis .

I've only used a Pielframa case with a Palm product. The case was first rate and I really liked it. My only problem is I am a little hard on my electronics and that is the only weak area of most of their cases. Because of my "weak area" I had to get another case that provided extra heavy duty protection. I went with a soft leather case from Targus that has a soft lining and it really protects your PDA when not in use. The only drawback is you have to pull the PDA out of the case to use it.

If protecting your case from drops is not an issue for you, then the Pielframa line of cases are great.
