Good, small, protective case for 2210/2215?

[silentmuse]

I'm looking for a half decent case for my 2210. Ideally it will also cover the dlink wireless card I have sticking out the top but it's not an absolute requirement. What's more important to me is that it's not huge and bulky, and that it is either a) easy to get in and out of the case, or b) ipaq stays in the case while in use.

Suggestions?

Just out of curiousity.....someone told me that when the CF D-Link WiFi card is installed, it blocks the use of infrared. Have you noticed this?

I too am looking for a case just like the one you described. I will be following the thread.

Answering both questions:

The DLink 660W does block the cIR, so you have to pull it out to use Nevo.

For a small case, there are bunch. Are they worth it? I don't think so. On a budget, many of the Palm M5xx (Rhinoskin/Saunders) or Palm Zire Z1 (I like the Blue plastic case) cases do the job and are tiny. If you want to blow some cash, the Sena cases seem to be the thinnest cases around and you can order them with a CF customization on the back of the case to carry the Wifi card while not plugged in unto the back of the 2215 case.

Well, actually it *sort of* blocks the IR. I found that if you point the ipaq in typical fashion to use Nevo, it don't work. But if you tip the ass end up a bit, it works fine. Ya just gotta kinda angle the IR beam out a bit... :)

For my purposes this is fine, I don't use Nevo anyways. I've got perfectly good remotes for my stereo and TV for that purpose, and they're always in the correct room when I need them, unlike my ipaq which is probably in my cradle or in my coat pocket...

That Sena case brings up an interesting question. Has anyone noticed undue wear and tear on either the CF slot or their wireless card by regularly inserting and removing it? Or is it reasonable to always take it out when not in use?

I've got both the Proporta Leather flip case end their metal case. Both are very good.

There's a review of the leather one at www.ipaq.net that I wrote. My review of the aluminium case will be published here in a couple of weeks.
