HP Has Fix Available For Grips On 2200 Series iPAQ
HP is offering a do-it-yourself fix now for the 2200 iPAQ if yours is one affected by the grips coming off. Boston Pocket PC has an article that includes the part number you need to ask for, which is #349036-001. There are also discussion threads here and here. The question is, will these new grips pop off after 2-3 months of use? I'll soon know. I ordered mine today and they told me they were on a slight backorder. I should have them by Monday or Tuesday.
If you don't want to fool with any of this and have some spare cash you could get some custom wooden grips made for $40-$60.

No, not right now. It is a warranty issue so there is no charge. You must pick up the phone.

Just got off the phone. The rep knew all about the kit and was very helpful. Said I should have them Thursday or Friday.
Total phone time: 52 mins

You can also use the live support chat. I just finished, took about an hour all together, but my ear isn't all blistered from being on hold.
The first tier rep said "send it in" but I politely wrote that they had a do it yourselfer kit and gave the part number, and some reasons why I wasn't going to send my 2215 in.
The 2nd rep took about 20 minutes to finally ask for my address after "reviewing the chat session" but the final word was "sending them out"
I told him to have the engineers give me a call for design assistance.

So, how do you apply these new grips and are they made of the same material? If so, then it seems a little pointless.

Got my new ones today! Cool. The rubber feels harder than the first ones but honestly, the first ones could have been this hard then softened up over time and popped off. We'll see over the coming months.
