Boxwave Release Active Case for X50v: Transparent & Tough
Boxwave have just released a new Active Case. The clear protective shell lets you admire the elegant black and silver styling of the svelte Dell Axim X50v. (Well, I would say that, wouldn't I. ;-)) The rigid covering plastic has holes to allow access to the buttons, is shaped to follow the X50's contours, comes with a detachable belt clip and apparently locks solidly into place. With a Pocket PC this good looking, who needs a touchscreen anyway? ;-)

I agree, firescorpy. I wish some company would make a crystal case for our 4350's.

Proporta is offering a similar clear case (they're probably made by the same manufacturer,) which is priced at $5 less than the Boxwave. See link here.
I really like these case. I'm probably going to get one for my Axim sometime soon.

Sigh, I want a clear case for my 4350.. now all I have is the Innopocket aluminum case.. but I guess thats more tough and durable than some cheap plastic

Would contoured hard shells like this plastic or aluminum help protect the PPC if you drop it (like say on the concrete sidewalk), or would soft leather provide more "cushioning" against the impact?

If a metal case has a lining (my Innopocket Titanium has a thin neoprene-ish lining) I would think that would offer some protection, as would a leather case. Of course, it depends on the angle of the unit on impact

unfortunetely I have the Extended battery in my device most of the time and therefore this wouldn't fit in this case. Oh well

I liked the look of this so much that I have already orded one - and I don't have an X50 either!
Now I guess i will have to get an Axim to go along with the case.....

:lol: That would help! Personally I prefer my leather syncable flip case from Sena, as it's more discreet when closed, but still allows me to admire the X50v when the case is open.
If I wanted to show the X50v off however, something like this would be ideal.
