Hewlett-Packard-Notebook Reviews

Not only the rolling case is great both in storage and functionality, but also TARGUS is a great company, I've owned an Easy roller for 3 years now and it withstand all the use and abuse that a frequent traveller can inflict to a Computer case, until finally the extensible handle broke (just the plastic grip) i've contacted targus in france took the case to their office, and in less than two weeks, no questions, no charges i've received at home a brand new one from the manufacturer.

SO THANKS TARGUS

SIZED JUST RIGHT
This Pocket PC holder is just right in size. I orignally purchased the travel size pocket PC holder from Fellowes and it just didn't cut it. It was too big and bulky without the capacity to justify the size. This one is smallenough to drop in your purse or briefcase.
(1-1/2" deep x 4-3/4" wide x 6-3/8 long)

THE RIGHT STUFF PROVIDED FOR
This is one of the few Pocket PC holders that had a spot both for the stylus and a pen and a spot for a pad of paper.
It seems odd with all the capacity of a Pocket PC to want a pad of paper, but hey, try to leave a note for someone with just a Pocket PC in hand. Hence my wanting paper and pen at hand too.
Also, under where the pad of paper fits and is provided, you can put credit or business cards. There is no wasted space.

EXPENSIVE LOOKING THOUGH NOT REAL LEATHER
This handheld Pocket PC case is expensive looking and feeling, with a plastic zipper that has a large metal tang that is easy to grasp. The plastic zipper is desirable as many Pocket PC owners complained of the metal zippers damaging the finish on their devices. The large metal zipper pull makes it easy to close up quickly.

This is the best mix of size and capacity I have seen on the market for the Pocket PC, and I've looked at them all. The price is right too.

For this price it aint gonna last I got mine at office max on sale for 14.95 but even for 22.95 it still aint gonna last. It holds your PDA and other stuff but it is still small. I would reccommend this as the best pda case because you can put any PDA in it not just a special type!§§

Sumdex used high quality materials to construct this compact yet usable tool. Its excellent design makes this slim leather portfolio a perfect combination with PDAs. While not all PDAs will fit, the HP Jornada 545 is a perfect match.

The case is made of fine leather with an excellent grain and finish. The fastener is on a strip of leather that is long and will not break when you put another inch of stuff into the pouch. Interior pockets will hold two pens, six credit cards, the PDA, CF memory modules, a pocket modem, notes galore, and it closes without bulging. Also there is an 8x5 standard and easily replaced notepad, which gives you the perspective as to the size of this jewel.

It adds additional value when you compare the price of similar items that may not use the quality controls that this one does. Five stars and one less thing I have to add to my ten-pound purse.

I use this wallet with my Handspring Visor and it works great. Nothing fancy here, but hey, it's cheap. Black leather looks nice and is supple enough to fold in half backwards. Little elastic loops hold two spare AAA batteries so there's no excuse to get caught with dead ones. The wallet also has a handy stash for business cards, receipts, etc. The only drawback I've found is that, without the Visor hardcover, it's possible to turn the power on and drain your battery. My solution was to put the velcro on the front of my Visor's hardover and have it held in place by the wallet. This allows the Visor to be held in the wallet screen up or screen down. All in all, a great buy.

Summary: I bought this case for my Palm Vx and love it! I admit I was skeptical -- but for the price I figured I didn't have much to lose. I'd seen other cases at prices between $... and $..., and I just didn't want to spend that much unless I was convinced I was really getting value for my money. Although not the ultimate PDA case by any means, the Sumdex offers a great combination of usefulness and style at an unbeatable price.

Features: Very good quality leather, zipper and stitching. Compact design still allows room for credit cards, small memo pad, folding green. Velcro strip (included) securely attaches PDA to case. Clean, unobtrusive exterior with subtle Sumdex logo. Elastic battery holders also fit compact pens/pencils.

Drawbacks: Compact design will not hold checkbook or larger memo pad and may not be suitable for larger PDAs (verify dimensions before purchasing). Not reversible -- PDA must be placed on right side of interior. No choice of color (black only). No dedicated window for business cards or other owner information.

General comments: Overall, a great value in a stylish, well-designed case. Recommended.

Chances are, if you are reading this review, you are looking to see if this is the case for your PDA. I say it is! I have a Palm Zire Handheld, and was worried that the [EXTREMELY] flimsy plastic flip top would not protect the screen from scratches. I shopped for a good case that was small, had a wallet, inexpensive, and would protect my Zire. This is great on all counts! I got it on sale here on Amazon.com for about ten dollars.

This case has:

All leather construction
A couple of elastic loops for batteries (which I use for a pen, since my Zire is rechargeable)
Velcro to hold your PDA in place
Pockets for cash, credit cards, buisness cards, memory cards, etc. (One large and two small)
Zipper Closure

On the box it came in, it shows a list of PDAs that it will most definitely fit (and any other one that you may have will most likely fit). Here is what is guaranteed to fit:

Palm Zire
Palm Zire 21
Palm Zire 71
Palm Tungsten C
Sony NX series
Sony TG50
Visor Platinum
IPaq h1900 Series
IPaq h3900 Series
IPaq h5400 Series
Toshiba e750
Dell Axium
ViewSonic V35

My favorite part? The ease of getting to the charger. My Zire has the charger cable and Mini USB ports on top, so I just move the zipper a little and plug it in!

I hope this helps you!

I have had my Sumdex padded palm wallet for a year. I got it for my handspring visor. This is a particularly handy case because of the strap on the back of it--you can loop the strap of a satchel through this strap on the back. I have a shoulder bag and have this case on to the strap, so I can access my visor without opening the bag. The battery loops are a perfect way to make sure you are never without spare power. Whereas the other reviewer I read has made use of the velcro, I determined the case was more useful for transporting than for cradling the visor permanently--mine is not fastened into the case, and if that's what you'd like to do with the case you buy, I don't recommend it--the zipper around the outside (all you need to keep the device in the case without velcro) would also, it seems, be annoying to contend with when you're actually using the device. However, if you want to have quick, easy access to your handheld while still protecting it, this is a great case. And the price is right.

I had a heavy-duty rubber case for my palm IIIxe since I worked in a warehouse with a cement floor and had already cracked the screen on my first palm. When I changed jobs, I decided to look for a smaller case that looked nice, didn't have all the wallet pockets, and was large enough to hold my pen/stylus. Well, I found it in this case. It looks very nice and it protects my palm very well. The velcro is strong enough to hold the palm in place with no movement. I'd like to be able to store the extra batteries at the top, since my pen/stylus takes up the available battery storage space where the loops are. I'm going to buy another case for my son's m100.

This PDA case is almost perfect. I have found it to be durable and effective at protecting my Palm from harm. The bright color makes my Palm easy to find on my cluttered desk. If the case had pockets for expansion cards and so forth, it would be perfect!

This is a pretty nice case and does a good job of protecting your iPaq. It's got a nice little storage compartment for extra memory chips, as well as space to hold business or credit cards. One small complaint is that the side strap isn't as long as a stylus, so if you store an extra stylus in the holder, it will stick out a little either on the top or the bottom (or a little less on both). No biggie, though, that's really nitpicking.

Also, as you should be able to tell from the picture, it is a bit bulky. If you use it, you iPaq is no longer a "Pocket" PC, but it will fit nicely in your laptop bag, briefcase, or (for the ladies) your purse. I wish there were some clever way for it to attach to one's belt in such a manner that it could slide in and out for relatively easy access. Oh well, I guess we'll never see a product like that...

I struggled with the usefulness of this PDA holder versus the smaller one also made by Fellowes. What opted me to purchase this one is that I found it on a "sale" table at a local Office store for 1/3 the price here. In the worst case, I waste a little money, try it out and then buy the smaller one.

The reason I was looking at the Fellowes cases is because I wanted a case besides the one provided by @migo that would protect the screen of my PDA without having to slide it out of. I also wanted a means to carry a pen and either a pad of paper or batch of post it notes. This case came with a pad as well as a pen holder.

CASE WILL HOLD THE FOLLOWING:
10-15 business cards
1 pocket pc or palm PDA by using a velco tape on the back of PDA
1 stylus for PDA
1 Pen or pencil
Pocket for passport or smaller envelope or plane
Separator that can hold 9 credit cards
Pad of 3" wide x 5" long paper. Paper could be up to 7" long.
Under the PDA area and not too obvious is an area that you can put receipts and the like as well.

Considering the size of this case it would be nice if it had a spot for money or a zippered section for additional security.

CASE SIZE:
You can get this from the description, but I wanted to note it here as well. It is 5" wide by 8-3/4" tall and 2" deep with the PDA in it. I have the @migo 600c, Pocket PC that I'm sure contributes to the thickness. I'm sure an Ipac with the sleeve would fit in here, but it may wind up even thicker.
You can't put a letter sized envelope in here. It is too short.
As I tend to keep my plane tickets in the envelope, this would not work for this. You definitely can put just the tickets and a passport in this PDA case. I can't put this PDA case in my purse. The purse I carry is a medium size bag and this PDA case would be way too big. This PDA case will fit in my briefcase (A Land's end standard attache) with no problem however.

QUALITY:
As this is an artificial leather case, quality should be noted. It is a very nice looking case. Few people would question that it was not real leather. On top of that the plastic zipper seems to be decent quality and it has a nice metal tang which makes it easy to grip.
By having the PDA screen face the separator that would hold the tickets or passport it is well protected as well.
The exterior of the case is padded with a hard (cardboard) core that feels well made.

All in all this is a decent product but, I'm not sure its size meets my needs for the long run. It is too small for travel and too big for day to day.
