I got my rhinoskin yesterday and its really nice. The unit is in securly, and it feels very well protected. It has slots for 2 SD cards on the inside. It adds a small amount of bulk to the x50 and a little bit of weight, but it is very well built and covers all but the top and the dock connector on the bottom. You will not be dissapointed with it if you buy it.

I just received a nutshell case for the X50v, i will be working on a review for everyone shortly :)

it is a great inbetween case...soft with leather yet great protection :)

hmmh

I am interested in the Rhinoskin case as well. I would like to know how far can the cover be opened. Can it be opened all the way to the back?

Also, I want to know where I can get it in Canada. Thanks

Rhinoskin case for the x50 models can open to 180 degrees. Basically like a book. It will not fold all the way around. I use it for transport mostly, clip to the belt and what not. When I need to use it alot, I just slip it out of the case which is very easy. I also take it out of the case when I use it for GPS in the car. Just easier that way. Otherwise, it stays in the case.

I give the rhinoskin case a thumbs up... very nice. Two things though: 1) If you are gonna use the belt clip, put that bolt on the back on with a screw driver and get it on there good, otherwise it will just screw out as the axim spins or something on you hip. Fell right off once. But landed on very nice carpet, so no harm. 2) Get replacement belt clips. I had it maybe 4 days before I destroyed the one it came with. I was sitting, axim got caught, plastic clip gave while metal case would not. Again, fell onto the nice carpet, so no harm done. But order some extra heavy duty clips from their site. They have free shipping right now.

As for ordering in Canada, get it from their main site, I am sure they can ship there. Either that or off of Dell's site.

Thanks for your info. I think I will order one for my x50.

If you don't want to deal with an Axim in the case all the time, checkout the Targus leather slipcase...

I had one around from a previous palmtop and started using it with my X50v with great sucess. It's well padded, inexpensive and has a good solid clip with 360 degree rotation.

Do all the cutouts fit perfectly? Are all the buttons easily pressable when the case is on?

dwoloz

the buttons are still easily acceptable
theyre a bit recessed because of the case around them but its not difficult to press them
the cutouts for the sd cards are tight but with more usage they should expand
im using the card cutouts to hold 2 cards each (4 total cards); they fit fine

I read that the Belkin Executive Zipper case for the X3 fits on the x50v. Has anyone tried? any comments?

Thanks

Something to be aware of. Others have recently been posting on the General board damage to the x50v caused by the Rhinoskin hard case.
