Cool Mini-review of PDA Skins PDA Plus

Been using the PDA Plus to carry my X50v with extended battery for a couple of weeks.

Front part flips down. Supported by adjustable velcro hinges. Flap has holder for thin stylus. There is a metal grommet leading to the outside that can be used for headphones. Back of the front has four slots for credit cards, memory cards, etc. There is an area behind the four slots for additional storage. Included is a square piece of velcro that can be attached to the back of the PDA to attach it to the velcro that is sewn inside the flap.

Back part holds accessories. My Thinkoutside keyboard fits without a problem. Back part has a cloth pocket on both sides. The back side has a mesh pocket at the top. There is also an elastic strip across the top with two slots to hold small pens and secure a larger object.

On the back is a strong clip for attachment to belt. You can also slide a belt through the back.

There are two metal loops at the top for attaching a strap that is included. You can then carry the case "Mr Spock tricorder style". Or for the ultimate geek look, you can carry it around your neck.

The front flip-down allows "hands-free" use.

Front of the case has an elastic pouch for cell phone.

With keyboard and Axim in the case, it is not that "bulky" attached to the belt.

Thanks for the review! I had no idea the keyboard would fit in it.

The lack of a good hard case is the only thing that's stopped me getting bigger battery. I really need to have my Axim wrapped in a chunk of metal :(

Funily enough, I just used to use the standard Dell slip case with my X30h and extended battery. There's just something, I don't know, robust and workmanlike about the X30 that gave me a lot of faith in the unit's ability to take a few knocks.

Mark.

Let me ask you, I just purchased the PalmOne Universal Keyboard, do you think that it will be able to fit in this bag.

Also, I bought the extended battery through dell and I heard that it sticks out the back some. Does Dell provide a different case to compensate for the size or is the battery a case in itself?
