personally, i'm not crazy about metal cases. if your metal cased pda hits the deck, the impact is going to reverberate much more with metal.

Not as long as the case is lined properly. This case looks awesome actually

Hmmm...the hinge is right where my fingers go .

I wonder if the cover flips completely back or only opens halfway (to the point in the pictures)?

I must say that it looks beautiful.

The advantage of the side hinge is that the case won't impede access to the CF slot or the headphone jack or the IR port. And it's got cutouts on the side for the scroller and the SD slot, though I don't know how well one would be able to insert or remove a card with the case on in practice. The design is just gorgeous IMO, though the question of whether it flips all the way back is a crucial one.

Looks like it covers up the soft reset button. Not a good thing - you'd think they could extend the cutout another 1/4 inch...

By the way, this doesn't cover the soft reset button, it is fully accessible.

The Innopocket products look nearly identical (at least for iPaq products) to the ones sold by Proporta. Are they the same, just sold in different parts under different names?
