Handheld Reviews

I've been carrying my h4155 around in this case for the past month. The case works very well. The flap on the case is held down by velcro and the form fits the pda pretty well. I carry the case on my belt all the time and it seems to function as advertised. It could have a softer interior, but I haven't noticed any issues yet.

I find the IBM WorkPad c3 smaller and lighter than the Palm III that one of my friend uses. Its contrast-variable backlighting really helps me to see the figures in variable light conditions such as when I am standing directly under a light in my office or walking in the alley which is not that well lit. An added advantage is lesser strain on my eyes because of its sharp screen. I guess the WorkPad c3 is limited to its 2 MB of non-expandable memory as the manufacturer could not design to fit a bigger memory in its slim design. How am I going to upgrade its memory to a larger capacity I do not know but I guess its one of the trade off that one has to bear in relation to the overall relatively low cost of this product. One particular feature that I find very handy is the synchronization ability of WorkPad directly with a my PC through the infrared transmitter this is a valuable feature that comes specially during my busy days letting me bypass its HotSync cradle connection.

The Graffiti pad is similar and maybe same as the other Palm organizers so you donot get any additional benefits when compared to competitive products. I am next eyeing with interest the portable key board advertised on the Amazon website that lets this PDA sits in a top slot and lets you enter your data as if you would do on any PC. This is specially useful for entering my expense report and data. And another tip: the money that I saved in buying this organizer instead of Palm V helped me buy some accessories for it. I was warned by some friends about possibility of getting a model with a faulty battery or a screen but luckily that did not happen and I am enjoying using my WorkPad C3.

When the original stylus that came with my Palm m515 started to slip out of its storage slot, I decided I needed a replacement. I ordered several different brands to find the stylus that suited me best. Of the four different m500 series replacement styli that I tried, this one was second only to the LandWare Floating Point Stylus. This stylus has a metal shaft, good weight, and it fits nicely into the storage slot. It also contains a ball point pen that is accessed by pulling off the end cap, and a reset pin that is accessed by unscrewing the tip. This is a good choice if you can't justify paying the LandWare Floating Point Stylus' high price.

The iConcepts Portable Keyboard has a tiny form factor for easy storage, but opens up to a near full size keyboard, with excellent tactile response to the keys, but wish it felt a little more like a real keyboard like the offering from Targus. It also works everytime and there are no batteries needed!(It also drains very little power from your PocketPC). The iConcepts Portable Keyboard is a very compact 70-key keyboard. They can be hard to get used to because of the different feel, and the keys are much smaller. The depth of the keyboard is also compressed down which can cause some problems for people with large hands. The only problem I have found with it is that you needed a flat surface to place it on in order to use it -- you could not set it on your lap or it may fold in the middle.

When folded for travel, the unit is not much bigger than your PDA and it is also very light. This unit was made for the mobile professional.

This is great if you are a fast typer and don't want to lug a notebook to meetings or need to type up a quick memo or email.
I myself found this product extremely useful due the fact that I can type much faster than write or hunt and peck on the digital keyboard. The great thing about this product from the other keyboard products that are out there,like the thumb keyboard in that it has CTRL and ALT keys among others that are used while typing.

If you plan to do alot of data entry whether it be notes,contacts,word documents, email, or navigating excel spreadsheets on your Jornada, I highly recommend this product and the USB HotSync and Charger from Sakar International for your Jornada.

I don't think that this device's desription does it justice. It works in the _wall_socket_ (120v AC) and in the _car_ and in the _airplane_. That's worth [$] over the price of a new laptop adapter in and of itself. On top of that, it can work with your PDA and cell phone ...extra).

I'd give it 5 stars...

This handy adapter takes care of all my computer and PDA power needs in less space than the original power supply of my laptop. You have to get the appropriate add ons for your phone and PDA, then its even better. If this came with an european plug adapter I would have given it 5 stars.

This case would have garnered 5 stars if it weren't for two things:

I would really like a holster for extra batteries.

I dislike brand logos and the large embroidered "Incipio" on the front is too blatant for my personal tastes. If it were a patch I would have removed it but it is sewn in and unfortunately there to stay.

The main features I was looking for in a case were style, a case that would fit my m100 but have enough room to stuff incidental papers in, and some level of protection. This case has everything I wanted.

I love the variety of fabrics and colors that Incipio offers. This particular color and fabric is subtle enough to not look juvenile but stylish enough to not be stuffy.

While I am pleased that transferring my messy paper organizer to a PDA device has cut down on the amount of clutter in my life, I still use it as the basis for many of my everyday activities. Since I always have my organizer with me, I keep everything I don't want to misplace in the case with it. It was imperative that I find a case for my m100 that was large enough to hold those papers I might need, like prescriptions, tickets, a calling card, a picture of my dog. This case is the perfect size to fit in a small purse, yet still hold my messy life. The zip around closure ensures that nothing worms its way out into the black abyss of my purse, never to be found again.

Although the case is made of fabric, it's rigid, which keeps my m100 protected as it jostles in my brief case when I run for a train, or drops on the ground as I cradle the phone on one shoulder, hold a notepad on my knee, and look up a number on the palm. The m100 is a relatively sturdy little electronic device, and the addition of this case makes it almost Fisher Price indestructible. Perfect for the frazzled, rushed, disorganized type.

From reading other reviews, I gather people don't like Velcro. This case does use Velcro to hold the PDA in place, but it's very secure and I see no problem with it.

This carrying case would have gotten a better review if it was the one I thought that I had ordered. I was assuming that when you order a carrying case for a pocket pc (mine is the Jornada 548), that you would receive the case for the pocket pc. Instead, I got a case that is probably well designed for a handspring visor, as the instructions on attaching the PDA were for the visor, and there doesn't seem to be a good way to get the HP attached.

.... The pockets are handy for smaller items, credit cards, ID's, or money, and I have even carried the case convieniently in my pocket.

The moral here is to make sure you receive the correct version.

This is a great case, my new palm m500 fits perfectly in it (i also tried with a m105 handheld and it also fits), i didnt give it a five star because it only have one clear pocket (perfect for an id) but i would like it to have two regular pockets (no transparent clear ones), the color is great and all the parts looks well assembled (it also have a lifetime warranty about it), here says that is water resistant but i prefer not to try it out. The botton line is that this is a great case for a very afordable price, you better buy it before it runs out!.

I bought this after my 2nd plastic cover broke off my Palm Pilot - in order to protect it in my purse. It serves the purpose, but is a little fatter than I would have preferred. The zipper was quite difficult to use at first but has now loosened up. Overall, it's a pretty good item for the price.
