Axim x51v Travel Case?

KimChee · 01-02-09, 10:45 PM

Does anyone have a case or suggestion for one that they put their axim into when traveling or for even more protection? I already have a Innopocket Magnesium Case, but was thinking about getting one of those hard eva zip cases to put the ax in while in its mag case for even more protection when traveling. Or is this overkill?

Not sure what you mean by traveling but heres what I do. My X51V stays in my front left pocket (with the screen against my leg) at all times. When I go on a trip (vacation or planned trip via. auto or airplane) I store it in the protective slip cover that came with my unit and then into a travel case with my necessaries. :approve:

I guess I mean a case to throw the already magnesium/rhino cased axim into, to protect it even further. I love my mag case, but not sure I trust it to throw it in a suitcase, if the axim would survive a hard fall or someone sitting on it. I've seen some people use the air soft cases for pistols for their Eee Pc's, but am looking suggestions for something similar/smaller. I wouldn't mind a case with a handle, but would prefer it to fit in a big jacket pocket or travel bag.

I've got mine in a mag case and it's taken a couple of bad falls with the worst damage being the stylus popped out and the case hinge broke. (Which Proporta replaced in a heart beat) I don't think you're going to get much better protection IMHO.

There are some small generic hard cases from OtterBox and Pelican and the like that could be used.

I bought a small camera bag made by Columbia that I use to carry the Axim when I travel. It adds a little padding to the regular case, and I can stuff the bag easily into a backpack or suitcase, and it has a shoulder strap for carrying by itself or a couple other small items. Works nicely and adds a little more protection to the Axim.

When I bought my Ax I also got this little beauty. My Ax has been around the world (literally) and has not received any damage. It's called a Rhino Skin.

My main Axim is housed in a Rhinoskin case and then slipped into a small AMBICO camera case that has a fold-over flap and belt loop, where I can also store a spare battery as well as my BT GPS and its spare battery.
