I'm looking for a cool case for my PDA... something cute, but functional. Something that will protect it, but that I'll actually like.

Everything I find online or in stores is just so boring and business-like. :(

I think these Sena cases are the coolest!

Cool? I dunno, but it's not a typical case:

Glad I could help! Now I want one, too, but I am having a hard time deciding which one. I have it narrowed down to Nantucket Stripe, Lemon Lime, and Ella.

What do you girls have and what size are you getting?

I just ordered an iPAQ 3715, I"m leaning toward the small one.

I LOVE the Capri stripe pattern but they're sold out for the next 2 months! :(

I have a Dell Axim... I just whipped out a ruler and measured it, and it's dimensions fit the Small case. I thought my decision would be harder than it was, but since alot that I liked were sold out, my choice was actually pretty easy! :D

I have a Blackberry -- I don't know the model number. It is 3" wide and 4.5" long, so I am leaning toward the small. It should just fit.

I ordered the small Lemon Lime case and love it! My Dell Axim fits just right, and there are 2 elastic bands on the left side of the case that will hold in the stylus or other various stuff. I have gotten tons of compliments on it at work, and I especially love that I'll never get my PDA confused with everyone else's (I am a medical intern and our entire intern class was given the same PDA). The velcro was super easy to apply and holds the PDA in well...the only time I take mine out of the case is when i need to recharge it.

Things I would change...
The case is hard which makes it a bit heavy.
There is a big black label ("Pilgrim") stitched on the back, but I think it could be removed if it bugged you that much...
If I had designed them, I would've changed the color of the black leather closure and snap (they are black and brass, which just doesn't go with my green and yellow case as well as a silver snap though!)...

Overall, I really really like the case, and would recommend it to any thinking about it. It arrived wrapped in pretty tissue and with a hand-written note from the company, which I thought was sweet. Seems like it's someone's guest-bedroom side job, which I think is great, especially since I am so happy with the product.

Let me know if anyone has other questions!

Thanks for the review!

Question: Do you have a dell axim with the wireless antena on top? I have the x30 wireless and I would worry that with the antena it wouldn't fit...at least in the small size.

thanks

Hey! My Axim doesn't have an antenna... but if it sticks out the top, you may want to get the large case. There's not much wiggle room in the small one!

THanks-good to know!

Anyway you can post a pic of your axim in its case??? :)

I got the Ella and loved it. I mismeasured, and ended up ordering the bigger one, but I'm fine with that... it doesn't bother me. The velcro holds really well... so well that every time I take my PDA out to charge it, the back comes off (where the battery goes in!) That's the only thing that has bugged me about it.
