<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.freecases.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.freecases.com/</a><br /><br /></div>This seems almost too good to be true. FreeCases.com is offering Incipio nylon cases for... well... free. Has anyone "bought" a free case from them before?<br /><br />They also carry retail items, including premium cases and accessories.

Interesting. I find myself on the backs of my heels wondering what the catch is. I do see that they use velcro to secure the device (Anyone find an Ipaq case from them that doesn't?).

The 'catch' for me, is that they are UGLY :wink:

True. I still haven't found a case worthy of the Ipaq. I think the little metal screen covers are kind of cool, but velcro is a big no for me. Besides, the screen cover won't protect it too well in the event of a crash landing.

The other catch is the $6.95 for shipping one of these suckers.

The metal cases are definitely Kewl (California cool).

I got mine off ebay for $20.00, but I read you can get a comparable one at CompUSA for 14.00 and there is a mail in rebate for 5.00

No catch. These are the same folks who run "FreeScreenProtectors.com", and I've ordered from them before. The shipping is comparatively high ($6.95) for USPS Priority shipping service. But they do ship pretty quick, and these are full retail products in plain packaging. Compared to paying retail plus tax, or your best online price plus shipping, this is a great deal, if you need a cheap PDA case. Or, do what I do, and use these cases for other things, like CF cards, cables, adapters, chargers, etc..

The catch might be your e-mail adress ;)

Nope. I've gotten no spam from them or anyone else after ordering from them. And this was about six months ago.
