Innopocket and Proporta are the same case

[BEdZ]

Is the Proporta aluminium and the Innopocket aluminium case one in the same? Compare the pictures at

http://www.proporta.com/Zoom.asp?id=dell_alu01.jpg

and

http://www.innopocket.com/product/photo/dellmcase/photo.html

Even the screens are the same.

Why is it taking Proporta so long to ship this thing then and why are they charging $3 more for the same case?

And don't forget this one:

http://www.saunders-usa.com/rhinoskin/prod.cfm?cat_id=5067&prod_id=5140

The prices are all about the same

Innopocket: 34.90 + 6 (S&H) = 40.90

Proporta: 38 + 3.50 (S&H) = 41.50

Rhinoskin: 34.95 + 5.75 (S&H) = 40.70

(The Rhinoskin rate is a guess from looking at the shipping rates page.)

In March, Rhino is giving away a free pen/stylus with online orders.
Proporta is giving away a free neoprene case for pre-orders.
I think there's a thread/poll at Aximsite.com being viewed by Innopocket to try to get Innopocket to give a discount.

Plenty of incentives to choose from.

So who really makes these things then?

Made in China, and sold to various distributors.

It's just like cheese, beans, and ice cream at the supermarket. You can buy Del Monte, Heinz, or the store brand. The food all comes from the same farms.
