At $99 USD, this isn't a cheap case, but it's TITANIUM! :mrgreen: They're shipping me a review unit, so I'll be sure to post my thoughts shortly after receiving it.

OooOOOoohh! Nice! I love titanium. I bought a titanium watch last year and it's absolutely fantastic. It's so incredibly light and durable.. you hardly feel you're wearing it, and very scratch resistant! Titanium isn't cheap - but definitely worth it.

I'm probably going to buy a nice metal case as well for my ipaq 1915 which I'll have in a day or two :D

Very nice case, but the price.... Ouch! For that money I would buy a Vaja case.

Nice! I have the same thing in aluminum and it's very usable.

They should really use a jpeg instead of a gif for the product image though - the way gif handles gradients makes it look terrible.

I know! Doesn't it look like the created the finish with a Pall Peen hammer?

I feel kind of cheated :grumble: Axim owners get a TITANIUM case, and we 2215 owners only get aluminum, what's up?

Guniea pigs, obviously. ;)

Plus the thing's been on the market far longer, and until the 2210's had time to build up customer numbers you have to expect these things slower. Patience... :)

That is one sexy case. 8)

My last RhinoSkin aluminum case was very slippery; and I paid close to $30! I need something which is much more..less slippery, and doesnt scratch so often.

Ick. Still not supporting 3400 mAH battery ..

I almost bought an aluminum one for my 2210. I hope Rhinoskin learns from all the mistakes in the Axim ones before giving us 2200 owners a titanium case. :)

I hope the price for the case would not be $99 b/c 2210 would definitely require less metal to use cause of its smaller size

Yes, and CDs require less plastic than vinyls. Price = what people will pay, not price = cost + a bit.

Sayign that though, oh how I'd love a titanium case for my iPAQ. If I knew one was one the way I would have held back on getting an Alu one. Oh well. :)
