This iPaq accessory is about as good as they come. Barring the PCMCIA/Battery jacket, this is probably the most useful iPaq "jacket" available.
In a stroke of genius, Compaq/HP came up with a way of charging users extra money for a design consideration that should ship as standard with all iPaqs - that the huge colour screen is probably going to get damaged if it doesn't have a cover.
The jacket is very simple to use - slide the iPaq in the top, clip the plastic front over and the case and screen of the iPaq are protected. Brilliant! But to go just a little further, there are three more advantages; 1. The contacts used by the iPaq to communicate with "intelligent" jackets, such as the compact flash or PCMCIA add-ons are protected when this case is used. 2. The plastic screen cover opens to the left or right (depending on whether you are left or right-handed) and wraps around the back of the machine whilst in use. 3. The top of the iPaq remains unprotected (actually, that may not be a good thing) allowing access to your headphone socket, stylus, infra-red port and (if you have one) your SD/MMC expansion slot.
When docking the iPaq, the jacket/cover can remain in place as the contacts for synchronising and charging are still exposed for connection to the supplied cradle.
The case should protect your iPaq from knocks, bumps and the occasional drop and is a very good investment if you have no intention of adding any of Compaq/HP's other "goodies" to your PDA. Unfortunately I have no idea how much one of these pseudo-cases trades for...
