Default Proporta 22xx Case Giveaway

One of the great people at Proporta, Chloe, has been in a very generous mood lately. As a result, Proporta is going to give away one of their great aluminum HP 22xx cases to ten lucky Thoughts readers!



"The Proporta HP iPAQ 2200 series aluminium case is beautifully designed and as always is made to meet the exact specifications of the device which it protects. It is made of the finest quality 100% anodised aircraft grade aluminium and completely lined with a soft protective cushioning of neoprene. Your handheld sits safely and securely in the case safe in the knowledge that your investment is held firmly by the locks on the side and bottom."

This giveaway is ONLY open to current owners of an HP 22xx Pocket PC. In order to be eligible for the random selection (and to make sure that only 22xx owners win), you must:

1. Send an e-mail to "brad at pocketpcthoughts.com" [but use the "at" sign]
2. Include "Free Proporta Case" in the Subject line
3. In the body of the e-mail list the names of at least THREE different Pocket PC models that Proporta makes aluminum cases for.
4. In the body of the e-mail include your 22xx's alphanumeric serial number which is found under the battery on the back of the device (I won't use this for anything other than to confirm your device type)
5. Entries must be recieved before 1:00am MST Saturday, October 18, 2003.

(Please make sure you follow these instructions carefully! Otherwise, my state-of-the-art winner selection algorithm won't work properly.)

You may only enter one device. You may only enter once. You may not question the selection of the winners. You may not whine. Pocket PC Thoughts is not a democracy, and members of the editorial team reserve the right to change our minds and these rules indiscriminantly.

Good luck!

If it only had been the i-volution case . I just got a confirmation from proporta that my case is on the way. Was I too hasty?

Riiight. There have been quite a few contests where you've wanted to 'confirm our device type'. It's a conspiracy!

Naw. I'm not that bright. We just want to make sure that we don't have people entering the contest just for the sake of entering a contest. We want the winners to be able to USE the great prizes we have.

Is the winner based upon how many items they list or is it chosen from everyone who follows the rules?

Default Brad, is your email OK?

Brad, my email to you bounced, with the following message:

"I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<brad@pocketpcthemes.com>: This address no longer accepts mail."

Did I miss something?

It is brad at pocketpcthoughts.com. :-)

Brad: You should let subscribers enter the serial numbers for their devices into their profiles so they can be automatically entered into device specific contests.

Yes, I'm that lazy!

I think it is great when stuff is given away. I dont own 2215, but I am glad someone will get to enjoy the benefits of it. Obviously, by giving it away here at the forum, whoever wins it will post how much they are enjoying it, recommend it, and others will buy it. So it is worth it for them to give one away

This would be a very cool prize to win considering my 2215's left side grip just snapped off and lost one of it's "teeth" so it won't stay on securely anymore. :evil: Awful design on an otherwise wonderful PPC.
