x50v GamePad

Has anybody ever heard of a gamepad for the Axim x50v (or similar Axim)? I am not talking about the keyboards (connected or wireless), rather something small that clips right over the buttons at the bottom of the Axim. I want something that gives a little more room for playing with the Dpad (I think that is its name) and the 4 other buttons at the bottom.

I saw a game pad that someone was working on that connected via BT, but it was an early non-working prototype. I have seen BT xbox-style controllers for PC's, but no clue if that would work. Nothing that just pushes the axim's buttons though.

I know what you mean, you used to be able to get them for some mobile phones (like this - http://www.mobiles.co.uk/snake.html).

Not seen anything like it for PDA's, the idea is simple enough though, suprising no one has done one :p

I have one.

It doesn't fit around the Axim. I play MAME CE with it by either proping up the Axim, or laying it flat on the table. Then I just hold the gamepad. I got it a while ago, so I forgot where it came from, but I'll bet you can find one on eBay.
