My Review of 7 Top Cases for Axim X3i

[xdalaw]

If anyone is interested, I have finished a review of seven of the top cases for the Dell Axim X3i. The cases reviewed include the Piel Frama, the Rhinoskin, the DSI Aluminum, the Sena, the PDair Leather Book, the Krusell, and the Bellagio.

Here's a link to my article if you're interested: http://www.pdabuyersguide.com/tips/Dell_Ax...im_X3_cases.htm

Great reviews, thanks. Thorough and well written. I bought the Rhino since it was offered on the Dell site with my Axim. After reading your reviews, I am glad I did.

Interesting reviews but surely if the aluminium case covered the aerial would it not interfere with the signal?

I enjoyed your article. It made me want a Sena case all the more.
When I got my X30, I put in an order with the Father's day fairy for a black and blue sena case.
It is a thing of beauty and fits my pocket perfectly while protecting my new X30. But, often being unhappy with things that are not as I want them, I made my Dell cradle able to accept my X30 while IN the Sena case.
Now I have the best of both worlds! A great new pda and a beautiful new case that I don't have to remove just to use my cradle.
Come on Dell this was easy for me to do with my Dremel Mototool and the only item requiring "adjustment" was the chrome case itself. All else inside remained the same and without changes. This would be an easy re-tool to do for those of us who love our X30's and want a nice case to protect them that we don't have to continually remove.

Can you post some quick instructions on what you did?
