Sweet deal.. not to sure about the phone style clip *my wideness tends to pop them unexpectedly*, but it's also backordered :( Good price though.

I had purchased one of their "slipper w/ belt clip" cases for my Handera 330 and I must say that I was very impressed by the quality of construction on the case. It really was well done.

Based on that alone, I just finished ordering one for my Axim. They won't ship until January, but that's fine. I had to wait awhile for my Axim. This is no different. :)

I have been using one of their cases on my XDA for a while and I'm very impressed with it. It looks great. It's durable, and very functional. All at a very reasonable price. I think EB puts out a fantastic product at a great price.

I'm sure this is only the first of many cases to come for the Axim. It's had such great sales so far that I think it will be a very easy decision for 3rd party manufactures to add Axim products to their lines.

I'd really like a side-opening case, rather than the flip top. I hope one with that style (that doesn't require velcro) comes out soon.

Taste is such a subjective thing. This really looks like a sweet case, but the Dell (IMO) is THE best looking PPC on the market. I don't think there is a case out there that I would want to cover it with. Though the price and quality combination makes this v-e-r-y tempting.

I purchased the Copilot-20 as soon as I saw it on the www.ebcases.com website, and I am very happy with it. Like the EB case I used for my Jornada, the quality is excellent. After seeing the Slipper Axim X5 w/clip, however, I am tempted to order it when it becomes available in January :) . I agree that the Dell Axim is a fine-lookin' machine, but I would like to have some protection for it in case it's accidentally dropped :( .

If there has ever been a significant need for a case, the Axim needs it most. This case looks nice, it hides the wide Axim love handles.

While this is a nice looking case, it is on backorder so why not wait and see what else comes out on the market?

Personally, I'm waiting for Vaja to come out with their Axim case. They've said that they will, but haven't given a time frame yet. I'm hoping it'll be their next one after they finish up the Tungsten - T case. Check out their site and take a look at their other cases before you buy anything else. :D

I've had one for over a year for my casio e125, and I've been VERY happy with it.

When someone gets this case let us know if there is a pocket beg enough to hold a CF Wifi card.

With my Audiovox I have a Krusell case that I love and it has big pockets enought ot put a CF WiFi card.

The other ebcases I have has have never had a big enought pocket to do this.

I still haven't seen anything better than the standard case that came with my Axim. I wear a 1 inch wide belt and simply slip the flap of the case under my belt and over the top and fasten it. The case stays in place when I remove the Axim for use with no problem. It is also comfortable for sitting and driving.

However, I do agree the Axim needs protection -- says he who shattered the screen of his IPAQ when he put it into his pants pocket. OOPS. $$$ Oh well, I now have the Axim which I like better. &lt;grin>.
