Default Leather case for iPAQ 5555 & PC Expansion Pack Plus ?

Does anybody know of a leather case with a belt clip that my iPAQ 5555 in its PC Card Expansion Pack Plus will fit into?

I bought a case that turned out to be too small for this combination. It was designed for the PC Card Expansion Pack, but not the plus version.

Default My New Case for 5555 with PC Expansion Pack Plus

After, a frustrating search for a leather case that would hold my iPAQ 5555 in its PC Card Expansion Pack Plus, I gave up. I couldn't even find a place to custom order one. There are a lot of leather cases for the 5555 and the PC Card Expansion pack, but they are too small for the "Plus" pack.

I ended up with a Case Logic, Expandium Series, ES3, Photo Bag. It has a loop to hitch on a belt as well as a detachable shoulder/neck strap (that I won't use.)

The case is made of a synthetic material (expandium) that offers some protection to what is inside. It also has a separate pocket that is large enough to hold my Sprint PCS CF2031 card in its PCMIA expansion card. I can also fit my Hakuba Media Card Case (that holds eight SD cards,) in that pocket with the CF2031. Sizewise, it as close to a custom fit as you can get!

I bought it at the local CompUSA, today, and paid a whopping $9.95 for the case.

The material seems very strong, and (in spite of its price,) is very well made.

So does it fit your expansion?

It would be great that you found something suitable to your needs!

Yes, my 5555 in its expansion pack fits perfectly in the pouch.

Thanks!

Have you tried here? I use their holster case for my HP5555 with just CF Expansion. But I see they have a dual slot expansion sleeve that may be large enough for your CF Plus. They are excellent quality cases.

That looks like it might work.
