I got my Krusell 22xx Case today. :)

I would take pictures but my Digital Camera broke! :cry:

Good Points

1 - Flip is padded! :)
2 - There is a reset hole! 8)
3 - There is a hole of the speaker! 8)
4 - The flip isn't padded on the inside but it is on the outside.
5 - There are three credit card sized slots
6 - There are two SD Card slots
7 - The face is open so it doesn't cover any buttons
8 - The notification led's can been seen clearly
9 - The Sync port is open
10 - It uses a snap rather than magnetic closer
11 - Interior is velvet
12 - The IPAQ comes out easily
13 - It's uses the excelent Multidapt system
14 - Provides enough padding to protect the ipaq
15 - Good sized headphone cut out
16 - Easy access to the stylus.

Bad Points

1 - The IPAQ needs to be removed from the case to use the cradle
2 - Packaging isn't very good (just a clear plastic box)
3 - The edge round the case causes the power button to be to reseced
4 - There was no belt clip supplied (not a major problem for me as I don't use one anyway)

I carry a RSA SecurID Card and Socket WLAN CF Card with me all the time. I can put the SecurID Card (which is thick credit-card sized) into the slot nearest the top and not worry about it scratching the screen. The WLAN Card tucks nicely behind IPAQ when it's not in the CF Slot.

All in all considering the price difference to the Vaja and PF cases (about 1/3 the cost after UK Shipping) I'm really happy with it. :)

If I can drag my Digital Camera back from the dead I'll take a few pictures.

Regards,
Daniel

Being able to sync a PDA using a cradle while its in a leather case is more the exception than the rule - the general practice is to use a cable instead. But I agree, the packaging could use some work, especially when compared to the elaborate packaging used by companies like Piel Frama and Covertec.

:roll:
to each their own i suppose but what good is that case or packaging 30 seconds after the case is extracted from it? that's also the reason those cases cost $$$$$$$ compared to the Krusell.

I ordered from 3elimited a UK supplier in the 1st August.

As for packaging I own two other krusell cases. Both are mobile phone cases and both came in the same packaging. Both were about a third is the cost. It's all about presentation. The product it's self is good but ir's let down my the packaging.

It's just a small point it gives up a idea of the quality your getting.
