Default Metallic Goodness: HP iPAQ hx4700

http://www.glblsrc.com/shop/product...&cat=291&page=1

"Aircraft grade aluminium is used to make this strong, yet light in weight. All our cases are finished and examined by hand before leaving our workshop. Neoprene lining, 360� swivel belt clip (easy to install and remove) are also added to make our cases unique, stylish, handy and innovative."



Do you have an HP iPAQ hx4700 but lack a metal case for it? This may be the case you've been looking for.

Built from anodized aluminium, this case is designed to be roughly treated. Some features include a lightweight design, space for your memory cards, and cut-outs for the slots, headphone jack, stylus and IR port. At $30.99, this may be a viable investment if you're after a product designed to keep your "baby" nurtured. So for those of you who own an hx4700, does this appeal to you?

do you know if you can keep the plastic flip cover on the 4705 whilst it is in the aluminum case?

This is the second time I've seen "camera" in a hx4700 series product description. What are they talking about? I'm pretty sure my 4705 doesn't have a camera. :roll: Any ideas? Am I missing something? :lol:

Not sure if I'd like an aluminum case. I'm still in the market for a case for my 4705, but I don't think this is the one for me.

:bangin: I knew something about that website didn't sound right.

I'm going to edit the initial post right now! Strangely though, the case does have a cutout for a camera...

How odd... :?

You know what it probably is... A lot of people just assume that the hx4705 has a camera since it's the next model up from the hx3715.

Ah, that's probably right. But I would have hoped companies would have actually checked the specs, or heaven-forbid -- gotten the actual device, before they develop the case.

Not something I like to see in accessories for my gadgets. :worried:

Default The Case is Fine

No extra camera holes. Just a typo.

I like it as well as my previous Innopocket case for my E750.

Just got mine yesterday morning from cases.com (3 days from CO to Northern Ireland not too bad at all). This is a really nice Aluminium case, it feels better than the Proporta Aluminium case I had for my 2210 and it also has the advantage of a belt clip.

So far very impressed with the case.
