Are The Grips Coming Off Of Your iPAQ 2215?
Yesterday I was using my 2215 and the left grip just popped out at the base. It wouldn't go back in either. It was like the rubber had grown a millimeter or two. It just flopped about and was really annoying. The one on the right side has a slight bubble at the bottom and I suspect it'll be popping out too. Today it got so annoying and was starting to creep up more, I just pulled the rest off. It actually doesn't look too bad.
The black thing laying flat is the rubber grip that came off. The black thing on the iPAQ is the plactic clip the rubber was attached to. Doesn't look too bad eh?
It feels odd, but I'll probably get used to it. I'd really like a nice set of replacement grips. I have no desire to send it back to HP. I'd be without it for a few days and I suspect in 2-3 months, they'd pop off again. :roll:
What about you? Are your grips popping off? There is a discussion in this thread of a few of you that have already noticed this.

That's one of the reasons why I got a SENA case. I can't stand to use my PPC exposed to the elements. This case fits nice and snug and I like the way the cover works and the way it allows me to synch without having to remove the h2210 from it. 0X

Damn...there's a bubble down one of them and the other has a "loose edge" sticking out! I've had mine for almost 2 months and it was fine until now and I have an EB case....

It would have been better if they had just made the whole black strips in Nylon or soft plastic instead of that live rubber.
It's made of porous rubber that seems to react with sweat... yes that means it happens to those with sweaty palms...
Mine fell off too... :-(

Mine have come off a few times
I actually had the rubber part peal away from the harder plastic that attaches them to the iPAQ.
I removed them, super glued the rubber back to the plastic and trimmed off the edges with some sharp scissors. Then I put them back on the iPAQ. This got rid of the bubbles and those annoying slivers of rubber that hang over the edge of the iPAQ.
edit: I did talk to HP, they wanted me to send back the whole unit. I asked them to just send me two new grips, but they wouldn't.
BTW there are two different part numbers for the each side. They are not the same, according to HP. I wish they had just given me the part number so I could order a set. I wonder if the HP dealers can get them, the same way they can get screens, buttons and shells.

Plastic Piece
How is everyone keeping the hard plactic piece in place? now that the rubber is gone simply holding the unit causes the plactic piece to slide up and keep coming off.
