I ordered the solid black leather, w/ the extended battery fit, and I am not only impressed by the looks, but also by the quality... When you softly squeeze the cover or back, you can feel the padding, as well as how stiff it is underneath... And as is often mentioned by other people, the stitching is tight, and looks to be of very nice quality.

About the snap closure... Yes it takes getting use to, but it is much better then my last case with the velcro... Another nice thing about the wrap around closure... it completely closes off the bottom opening where the cable connects...

I had looked at the Sena case, but had two issues with it.
1) It would have been nice to be able to charge it in the case... But that was the least of my worries... I have never dropped my PPC by charging it... I had heard the Sena case was thin on the bottom, and could tell from the pictures that the corners were exposed... If you every saw my old Sony Clie... You would see that that was an issue... Once in a case, I want total protection!

2) Magnetic closure... Let me say that word again... MAGNETIC!... Say what you like... But I am the type of guy that wears a static strip when I work on a server. When I googled this fact about the magnetic closure, I had found a site where someone mentioned that they believe the magnet did not affect his Axim, but did affect his memory card, which is stored right by the... Everyone say it with me... "The Magnet"

A small note: Someone had asked on this site, how the fit was with the extended battery case, and did this make the top part of the case (In the back) loose enough to hold his 1100 battery... No you cannot fit the battery back there. The case, in a word, is a perfect fit, and gives no room in the back...

Just wanted to pass on my 2 cents, since you guys helped me get my first Pocketpc, (I'll miss ya Clie )....

The magnets should not effect the axim in anyway....i have NEVER had a problem with the magnets on the Sena Cases with my PDA or Memory cards...do be careful with credit cards and bus passes though...some have reported problems with the magnetic stripes on those types of cards.

I personally like the magnetic closure for its ease of use. The sena also has a perfect fit.

I love my Piel Frama for the Leather, but the sena for the easy clsure and super good fit.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a case that will allow you to autosync without taking it off.
After doing a lot of research, I bought the Bellagio case for the X50V from Aximcases. Great service (thanks, Aximcases) and love the case. It looks good, allows me to sync without having to remove it from the case and doesn't obstruct access to any of the front buttons.
The cover flips all the way around and the locking strap will fasten to the snap in the back. This allows you to have a secure handhold when using the X50V outdoors. The edges of the case extend over the sides of the PDA. This should help avoid drop damage. There are metal inserts in the front and back that add rigidity and strength to the case. The left hand side controls are accessible and there is a cutout for the headphone jack.

My touch screen works fine and I did not have the problem that fogie2 had.

ebcases' Slipper case is missing from the list. I have the X5 and X50v and they are both great cases.

They will fit the x50v, too, then, right?

Also, can you provide a bottom/top/side view including the PDA with the case closed? Does it cover the bottom and the top?

It will absolutely fit the X50v.

If you're planning to use the extended life battery, you'll want to order the deeper version of the #146!

Metal with cradle use?

Have done a few searches but I just want to make sure... There is no such thing as a metal case for the x50 that allows for cradle use?

Tanks!

New case from Capdase

Just received a good value tailored bi-fold case made by Capdase via an e-Bay supplier in the UK. I can't find any details on the forum so I guess it's a new entrant. Details here.

First impressions are very good; I wanted this type of case so my CF GSM card could stay attached.

Let me know if you want any further info.
