First Leather X50/X50v Case Available from Krusell
Krusell have anounced a new Leather X50/X50v case and as far as I know, it's the first one available. It certainly looks the part and has got the goodies:
- Fits Dell Axim X50 and X50v perfectly
- Snap closure
- Multidapt� equipped
- Comes with Swivel Belt Clip
- Reinforced lid
- Cards and memory pockets in the case cover
- Stylish metallic logotype on the front
- Holes and cut-outs for all vital functions
- Handmade in finest cattle leather
You can see two other X50/50v case views at the Krusell Website and you can order the case from Axim Cases. They ship worldwide, so it looks like we have a winner. 8) The case is US $29 plus shipping and should be available in mid to late December. Just the timescale for a Christmas present purchase.

Hmm, can't find it on Aximcases. They still just show the aluminium case at this point. Nothing at Krusell seems to give a date, or a price.
SENA has announced theirs for preorder as well. Did that last week. Also shipping in Dec. Personally I like the SENA magnets better than the strap and snap, but that's me. Come on Vaja, what have you got planned?

Looks like I may never find a case that can accomodate the extended battery.

I was just sent that info and will be front-paging it later today. I agree with you about the magnets. Much better.
Yup, now we need Vaja to join the party. I want to order in the next day or so, so I hope they let us know what they have planned. 8)

I too would like an extended battery case, but I'm not sure about the extra bulge. It's a hard things to predict how you will get on with something like that.
I have asked Senna and Vaja about this. There should be sufficient demand to make it worth at least one case-maker's while.
Any comments from our case-making friends about the possibility of an X50v extended battery case?

OK, nothing against this case in particular, but a question about the masses of leather cases I see for most PPCs, since I've seen quite a few new ones in the past few days and this.... is really bugging me.
Why are the corners always left exposed??? :evil:
There's no buttons there so no need to have access to the body there!
When you drop such a thing, do they helpfully land face up/down? No, they land on the corners, readilly exposed but stupid cases!! GAH!!!
Maybe I'm wrong and cases aren't there to protect PPCs, but rather just to look pretty...

I agree about the magnets, but have always used the E&B cases (magnets also)

Well, my leather X5 case has saved it's bacon a few times. I can't even remember who made it, suffice to say it was a cheap, but good looking one.
I hope to go for higher quality this time. :wink:
