Ordering from Aximcases.com
Having not ordered from them before, are they a trusted company??
Are they inside the United States?? Good turnaround time on shipping??
I'm gonna order the Black Covertec as reviewed by Mobile TEch Reviews and by : http://www.reviews.schrags.com/index...62&Itemi d=43

I've looked at ALL the cases I believe. haha. I'm choosing this one because:
-it looks easy to remove from the case. I don't care to surf, game and such holding onto a bulky case. I also like my docking cradle and wanna keep using it. It is sort of an easel beside my desktop pc.
-The screen has a nice clean look.I don't like all the clutter of leather all around the screen that I've seen on some.
-I like the storage for the magnetic strap on the bottom if you open it up briefly.
-Although it has a small profile, it appears to offer adequate protection. (*at least by the reviews)for everyday use. The magnum case offers the best protections I've read about. But I didn't want to leave it in the case all the time.
-Side buttons/earphone are accessible.
-it just looks kewl.
Maybe all of our questions and answers will help someone else in making a speedier choice than mine. I just don't want to make a wrong choice when it comes to putting some protection on my pda. hahaha.
Anyway, if you've ordered from Aximcases, did you get a speedy turnaround?? They're in Colorado, right??

... Customer Service is.... okay...
except for the fact that I had to wait a long time for the magnum case I wanted to get...
exchanged a few emails with them... and they showed helplessness (is tat a word?)...
I asked them about it and they ask me back to suggest what they can do about the issue. It is indeed "polite" to do so, but I really do get a feeling that they'r very helpless.
I had to cancel the order and get the case elsewhere in the end.

In any case, perhaps they really were helpless and that nothing much can be done.

The discount does result in good prices however.

Just my $0.02

I bought a Magnum case from them.

It came somewhat deformed. They offered to replace it, but I had to pay shipping AND I had to wait until they got a new stock in (4+ weeks).

So I basically paid full price for a what-was-to-be a beautiful case, but refer one with a mild deformity.

Regardless of this experience, I would they are as reputable as companies are.

They gave me honest answers to back log problems. I stuck with them during the back order and just got the case. It was very refreswhing to get honest answers, and the case was worth the wait.

Just ordered myself a Krusell - took it coz it's cheaper and I've been using a Krusell leather case since my iPAQ 3870 days... customer support said it's shipped, let's see how long it takes for it to cross oceans...

placed order 2 days. placed 2 orders separately within a few minutes of each other. emailed aximcases.com and told them what I did and asked if they could consolidate orders for the lower shipping cost. they emailed me back soon after and did just that. order shipped the next day.
