Except for the name, that case looks identical to my metal Rhino Skin case. I bought it from Dell for about half that price last fall when I bought my X50v. If I had seen it first I wouldn't have. It offers good protection but it makes the device huge. All Pocket PCs should have a flip-up screen cover so they don't require a case. It's a shame to have such a sleek unit and then have to bulk it up with a case.

This case is from RhinoSkin but it is made from Titanium, not Aluminum, thus the higher price. A Titanium case is significantly stronger and is slightly darker in color. If you want maximum protection for a $400+ device, this is it.

What about the weight, is it heavier than aluminum or magnesium?

Titanium should be lighter than either aluminum or magnesium. It has a better weight to strength ratio and so can be made thinner.
