Does anyone know if HP will ever be creating a plastic cover pack for the 1900 series?

This would be a similar produce to the cover pack that came with the 3800 and 3900 ipaqs.

IMO, it would be very easy to do this given the shape of the 1900 series. It would function similarly to the innopocket aluminum case but would be plastic like the 3900 cover pack.

One of the biggest problems that I have seen is that most iPaqs don't have any really good choices of slim cases out there. I mean, what's the point of buying a small PDA (like the 1900 series) when the cases add a lot of bulk.

I like the aluminum cases, but also like the fact that on my old 3955 with the opaque cover pack, I could turn quickly turn it on and see the screen (look at today's agenda view) and then turn it off, without ever opening the case.

Anyone have any thoughts, ideas.

PS: I think HP really dropped the ball after the older HP 560 series with the integrated flip cover.

Thanks

Check out the JavoClearCase (http://www.javoedge.com/simtrix/productMtce/productDetail.do?state=init&productId=122&productRef=PCLR-81111-00&category=CLEAR_CASE). The Gadgeteer did a review (http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/clearcase-hp2200-review.html) of the version for the 2200 series.

Thanks.

I'll check that out.

I think I saw an earlier post on that.

Anyone else out there have any experience with the JavoEdge case for the 1900??

My wife just got one for her 1945. She already has an Innopocket aluminum case and an E&B Slipper case, and she much prefers the JavoEdge case. If the Innopocket opened vertically, it would be a closer contest, but she likes the fact that it's clear, so she can see her QuickAgenda and QuickTasks without opening it, and the app buttons and d-pad are also accessible without opening the case.

Is this clear case (see link below) from ppc4you the same as JavoEdge's?

That looks like the same case to me. I haven't tried either so I'm not positive. But, I don't think that JavoEdge makes their own cases. They buy them from another distributor. Same with this "Crystal Case".

Thanks Kevin. I just want to make sure I am buying the better one :dilemma:
