Default Low-Cost HP iPAQ Case Mod

http://www.geocities.com/beforum/PDAcaseMod.htm

An iPAQ user decided, instead of going for one of the more expensive choices, to take the cheaper HP iPAQ expandable case and turn it into a playthrough case (you have to traditionally pull the iPAQ out of the expandable case). Original idea, and very nicely done!

The site's hosted on GeoCities, so I've attached a couple of the pictures here in case the bandwidth is exceeded

This is the original case:


And this is the modded case:


More pictures and details of what he's done is on the above-linked site.

Very nice work! What does the Ipaq look like in the case? Wish there was a picture. But very Macguyver-ish!

Looks good, it could use a lighter to help harden the edges of the cut out though, but looks great :way to go:

Default Good Idea...

I'm working on hosting the page on another site so all of the pictures can be viewed and I won't have to worry about bandwidth.

Bearjaw: DOH: Pictures with the IPAQ inside...I'll take some and put them up ASAP. I'll post a reply when they're up.

Gremmie: Good suggestion. I'll do it. I was wondering what to do about the edges.

Thanks,
mrBill :mrgreen:
