It's not often I go gaga over a case, but the
Extreme Limit Body Suit is a very neat case. No wonder they
can't keep it in stock! The looks are stunning, and let's
face it, while most cases adequately protect our PDAs, the
other reason we buy a case is for its good looks. We received
the revised version of the Zaurus Body Suit, which replaces
the older version that may still be pictured on Extreme Limit's
site.
The case is made of black Italian leather and
has a trendy, geek chic design that speaks of serious protection.
The top and bottom covers are extremely rigid, and the outer
faces have embossed ridges that add to the look of the case
and provide grip holds. The case is overstitched in red and
the top cover has a white Zaurus logo identical to that used
by Sharp. All edges have a reinforced leather overwrap and
there are cutouts to make it easy to access the CF slot and
jog dial.
While most cases for
clamshells open from the front, the Zaurus sits "backwards" in
the Body Suit, which means you'll wrap the top cover under
the unit to use the PDA. I'm not terribly fond of this,
though it is easy enough to wrap the top cover under. While
the other two Zaurus cases in our review require that you
remove one of the snap-on plastic extended battery cover
retainers, the Extreme Limit case does not. Removing that
piece is easy enough, but when it's not in place the battery
cover is a bit loose which is annoying if you also use
the Z out of the case. Good going, Extreme Limit!
Inside the flip cover you'll find 2 slots for
SD cards, and two slots for business cards, credit cards
or CF cards. There's also a large pocket where you can stow
cash or papers. There's a spare stylus holder in the spine
area and all inner surfaces other than the card holder area
are covered with a soft fabric. The case has a large tongue
and loop closure.
Your Zaurus is held in place by raised metal
reinforced surrounds that firmly cover the edges of the bottom
clamshell. You can bend these to adjust the snugness of the
case. All ports and slots are unblocked for easy access.
While this case is a bit bulkier than the other
two in this review, it does offer great protection, excellent
rigidity and a lot of style.
