Buy a new memory card? Download games? The first thing I do is buy a nice, protective case! But there are so many different types out there, it's easy to be at a loss in choosing the best one.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/pdabuyersguide.jpg" /> <br /><br />Andrew Goldstein over at <a href="http://www.pdabuyersguide.com/tips/Dell_Axim_X3_cases.htm">www.pdabuyersguide.com</a> has written an excellent review of seven different cases for the Dell Axim 3 and 3i. <br /><br />He writes about the:<br /><br />• Rhinoskin Aluminum Hard Case<br />• Krusell Black Leather Case<br />• Bellagio Designs Black Leather Case<br />• DSI Aluminum Case (PDA Armor)<br />• Piel Frama Black Leather Case<br />• Sena Red and Black Leather Case<br />• PDair Leather Book Type Case<br /><br />Of course, Andrew focuses directly on cases for the Axim 3 and 3i, but most of what he has to say applies equally to cases for other models. Give the whole article a read and the challenge of choosing the right case will be much easier.<br /><br />I'm not sure what kinds of features you look for in a Pocket PC case, but I've always been partial to the ones from Sena and E&amp;B Cases (especially the colored leather ones from Sena).<br /><br />What specific features do YOU look for in a case?

Be careful with Sena. I bought a case for my X5 less than a year ago. Recently all the stitching around the round belt clip has ripped totally away making the clip useless. So far I haven't found any option for repairing or returning it on the web site.

Be careful with Sena...

Really? I hadn't heard of anything like that. What happened after you sent them an e-mail? Nothing?

They've also got a review of the new X30 line from Dell, featuring the Bulverde processors...pretty impressive stuff.
