Review Date / Feb 28th, 2006If you are looking for a nice case, Sena has the ticket for you. I had the chance to check out the case for the iPAQ 6500 series and one for the Blackberry 8700 C recently. Here is the first review of two, this one for the 6500.
The first thing you will notice when you receive a Sena case is the fine packaging. Each and every one comes in a nice looking box and inside the case is in a cloth drawstring bag.
This particular case is the HP iPAQ hw65XX Black-Blue Case with the Ultra Belt Clip. It retails for $50 which is a significant price but it exudes quality.
The general specs are as follows:
Slim Design
Magnetic closure
3 Credit Card Slots
2 SD card slots
ULTRA belt-clip (optional)
1 Multi-purpose pocket
SD card slot and mini SD card slot openings
Headphone jack opening
Camera Opening
Microphone and IR port opening
Once the phone is in place, there are openings for all the buttons and ports you could need to access.
On the back is the mount for the ULTRA belt clip. If you have never had a case with this clip, it is absolutely the best clip of it's type. It is sturdy and locks on your belt rock solid. I have never lost an ULTRA clip off my belt, I can not say that same for most others I have tried.
The cover flap is magnetic and closes nicely. Under normal use, I don't think it will be popping open on you. One thing I would have liked to see but was not present was a way to use the stock plastic screen cover in conjunction with the case. Inside the cover is slots for business or credit cards and a pair of SD cards.
There are several high quality case manufacturers out there. The top three in my book are Sena, Vaja, and Krusell. All three fall at different price points. This is a fine example of a premium case and I love the look. The stitching and quality of the leather is exceptional. Highly recommended.
