New Cases For C3000/c1000 From Piel Frama!
« Reply #30 on: March 31, 2005, 03:35:23 am »
Hi everybody,

thanks for the lot of opinions and suggestions.
Let's try to answer:

- The plastic sheet:
Lots of users complained about the leather stripe on the
SL-C7/8xx cases. So we begged PielFrama to use plastic
for the upper belt. They did, they use a sheet instead of
a belt and it provides a very good stability to the case.
It's definitely not disturbing the feel of typing and we like
it.

- Alternative mountings:
We and PielFrama don't want to paste _anything_ on the
device. All PielFrama cases hold a Zaurus without former
fixing of holders / straps etc. The Zaurus is perfectly
held in the case, easy to remove and protected from
all sides.

- Charging in closed case:
We have a hole for the charger in our SL-5500 case. And
it's a total mess   . The hole is too small for the plug of
the EA-70S. If you would make it large enough for the plug
it would be HUGE. You can charge the SL-C series while it's
in the case, you just need to open the case, no need to take
the Zaurus out. I don't see this as a big deal.

- Cable holder:
The actual SL-C cases will fit in your pocket (OK, you may
have to put your Smith&Wesson elsewhere), but it needs
to be a big pocket  
There're also slots for 2 x SD cards. If you make it big enough
to carry also the host cable, it won't fit in any pocket.
On the other hand: If you need to carry the host cable, this
means you want to use your USB-stick, USB-HD, USB-keyboard.
So if you carry external devices, just put the host cable to the
device.

Hope i haven't forgot anything,

i like Piel Frama cases, have one for my H3450, one thing they did right was anchor put the slasp snap on the back side. the PDair has it in front so it's always in the way of the keyboard when open. really though the only issue i have with cases with the C3000 is getting the stylus out. other than that i like the PDair since these 'cover everything cases' always have a problem lining up with one hole button or speaker.

Simple fix about the clasp leather tab if you want to type while in the PDAair case....

Is to fold the tab over in half and put the end of it tucked just slightly under the edge of the bottom of the C3000.

This takes just a second....much harder to describe here than to actually do it.....

Also, no problem for me to take out the stylus....

 

HTH,

Mark
