Question for Sena Case Owners
It seems almost everyone who has a Sena case is glad they made that choice. It seems to be the only leather case that does not have a dangling strap to get in the way.

I wonder, does the Sena cover flap fold completely over to the back when you want to hold the PPC?

When closed does it fit in a dress shirt pocket ok?

These two question will sell me on it. I would not like it if does not fold flat against the back while holding it open to use the Axim. I am not wanting the extended battery version, just the standard version.

it does fold flat around the back, it adds only a tiny bit to the dimensions of the X50 also, so if you are comfortable with the X50 in a shirt pocket, the sena should be fine also

It folds all the way back. It can fit your dress pocket but it depends on the size of your pocket...heheheh! Also, I am using the extended Sena case with a Axim X50v w/1100 mAh because I am still waiting for my 2200 mAh. It looks good to me.

My only complaint with the case is when you use both slots to store sd cards the case sometimes opens up. It seems like the magnet is strong enough.

Other than that it is a great case.

I have not had that issue, and I store a microdrive in there as well. You only need to work the leather a little around the top and it will connect nicely.

Hmmmmm......

Maybe I need to work the leather a little more so it is more flexable...

I have the Sena & Vaja. Just ordered another Sena. I loaned my black/blue to my daughter & ordered the tan.

If they had more color options I would order another. Would love pink, light blue, etc.

Magnets Work???

So it sounds like the magnets ARE strong enough? Can they keep the case closed with 2 or 3 credit cards and a little cash in it? Is there any concern with the magnets getting close to data and wiping anything out?

re: Sena Case for X50v
I've owned Sena cases for all of my PDAs, past and present.

Yes, the front cover will completely flip over and rest against the back of the Axim when opened.

Also, the X50v will fit in a dress shirt while encased in the Sena with no binding or tight fit upon entry or exit.

The magnets are quite strong enough and will hold even with money and cards.

Thanks. This is great news. I really think that the Sena cases are the best. Is there any real risk with the magnets being close to the electronic data?

Nope, your Axim is safe.
