MobileTechReview Rounds up Six X50 Cases (And Review Them)

For your delectation, Andrew has rounded up the Proporta Aluminium Lined Leather, Piel Frama Leather, Sena Leather, Bellagio Design, Covertec Leather, and Innopocket Magnesium cases for the X50v. (Phew, even saying all the names is tiring ;-)). It's a good sized series of reviews with several photos for each case. There's not really a 'winner' as such, as each case has it's own strengths suited to particular purposes. Currently I'm very happy with the case I chose. What about you guys? Do any of these cases tempt you to slap a new wrapper around your X50?

Yea, I've always liked SENA cases and that's what's on my X50 right now. The writeup made me think it might be worth giving the Innopocket a shot for the same reasons as the reviewer. A bit more protection on weekends or travel when the Axim may get a little rougher treatment than days at the office. Actually took the link to Innopocket on impulse. Sold Out :|

I've got a Sena case as well. 8) I'm looking at the extended battery and a Senna case to go with it. Tempting.....

Now if you could just get a Vaja case to compare the leather and fit to the Piel Frama.

I wish they sent me a Vaja to review! :cry:

I've never had one before and I've always wanted to compare it to the best of the rest. But, I can't quite bring myself to buy one since I change PDA's too often. That's one of the reasons that I love the Senas. They are very nice cases, and they are pretty reasonably priced.

I have just bought one of the Dell X50V devices per the special listed on yesterday's Thoughts. The Sena case looks best overall as I am used to using EB Slipper Cases and it allows synching in the cradle. Does anyone know where on the Sena website I can get a good color photo of the Red/Camel leather version?
