[Jonathon Watkins]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.senacases.com/hx4700/' target='_blank'>http://www.senacases.com/hx4700/</a><br /><br /></div>Sena have just announced that you can pre-order their new cases for the HP IPAQ hx4700. As usual it looks like they have got a good design in a variety of colours. The features include a slim design, magnetic closure, the ability to Hotsync through the cradle and travel cable, an optional ULTRA belt-clip, 2 SD card slots, a multi-purpose pocket, a headphone jack &amp; microphone opening, easy access to all buttons including the reset button, 2 credit card pockets, an optional slide-in-mirror and the cases are made of high quality full grain leather. All bases covered? I think so. :wink: <br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/3.jpg" /><br /><br />Sena plan to to start shipping pre-ordered cases on November 17th 2004 and untill then, there is a special pre-offer discount of 20% off the original purchase price of the product. So the 4700 case is US$35.19 without a belt clip and US$37.59 with a belt clip and Sena do ship cases outside the US. (Note that you can only use one discount code at a time with Sena, ie. you can't stack them). One of the many benefits to <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/subscribe.php">PPCT subscribers</a> is that you get <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/subscribe.php?&amp;ssm.set(benefit_id)=29&amp;ssm.perform(benefits_details)=&amp;">20% off <b>any</b> regularly-priced Sena case</a>. Sweet. :-)

nice :) but who needs a case with a Magnesium-alloy body and a screen cover? All i am waitting for is some egrips cut for the hx4700 to stick them on the back to make sure the device does not move from anywhere you sit it.

Would have been nice if they had the X50 case available for pre-order, with shipping on 17 Nov ;).

I was wondering that. Personally I would want a leather case with a 4700, as I like the ULTRA clips attached to your belt. It's also very satisfying to flip the leather lid closed when you are finished. :wink:

Personally I hate the side flip cover that it comes with, and I definately want a case when I stick it in my bag traveling (briefcase bag). My problem is that no one seems to be planning a case for it with the extended battery!

Well, it's a bit early for that surely? Do we even know the dimentions and weight of the 4700 extended battery?

[Darius Wey]

I actually quite like the design of this case. It has a rather professional touch to it and seems to accommodate for the ports on the hx4700 very well. I give this case the thumbs up. :way to go:

an optional slide-in-mirror

Funnily enough, while I understand the mirror is good as a protective insert for the case, I've always used something else as a mirror. Something more...innovative. My Pocket PC screen! 8)

I've had my extended battery for over a week, I made some inquires and no one seems to have plans to make a case to support it :(

Unfortunately, extended battery cases aren't that popular. That's probably why nobody has plans for them.
On the other hand, if it's something that you're just going to stick in your bag, why don't you get a generic PDA case that will fit the iPAQ with extended battery?

[Greybard]

I had an extended battery for about a week....

I returned it because:

1. It required me to carry an extra iPAQ metal back.
2. it added about 1/2 in thinkness to my iPAQ.
3. it at least doubled the weight of my iPAQ.
4. My cases wouldn't fit it and it would double my case cost my requiring me to purchase twice as many cases.

Not worth it...
I will probably buy one of the lithium battery packs to go with my PocketPCTech's battery charger.

I just got my SENA Case for my T3! AWESOME PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. High Quality Leather, Stitching, Construction.
2. Super SUPER SLIM with EXACTING fit.
3. You can sync easily IN CRADLE IN THE CASE with slider open or closed!!! (BIG BIG BIG DEAL FOR ME!) The leather is thin enough where the T3 slides in cradle very easily!
4. No Annoying Extending Straps or Protrusions (Especially if you choose "No belt clip option" - there is no protruding NASTY NUB on the back as with other more "one-for-all" products)
5. Nice EASY flip cover to access data with no annoying clip strap.
6. Easy access to all buttons.
7. GREAT protection.
8. 2 SD pockets and 1 big pocket if needed.
9. Very Professional Looking with Assortment of colors (including all BLACK)
10. Reasonable Cost = $39 + $5 shipping. I got it in 2 days cross country!!!

If you are talking about the 20% off the 4700 case, there is no coupon. The 20% off is included in the price shown.

Market price: $43.99
Our price: $35.19, save 20%

I have a question, just how much screen protection is then with a Sena or Piel Frama case compared to an Aluminium one from the likes of Proporta ?

At present I have 2210 in an Aluminium case and am thinking of a 4700 or 720 loox, I have broken a couple of screens in the past. Now I am a bit paranoid!
