PDair makes affordable quality leather cases
for a variety of PDAs. You can read reviews of several PDair
cases for other PDAs here.
The case is made of medium grain leather and comes in black
with white overstitching. Despite the low $29 price tag,
the case looks like a high quality product and will add a
touch of class to your Z.
It's a tad thicker than the Xigma case reviewed
below thanks to the thin layer of padding inside both the
top and bottom covers. The padding provides added shock protection,
feels nice in the hand and adds relatively little bulk. The
bottom cover is extremely rigid and the inner surface that
touches the bottom of the Z is soft suede. The top cover
is a bit less rigid but nonetheless stiff and well padded
enough to protect the Zaurus even with the screen flipped
open to portrait/tablet mode. A wide band of finished black
leather joins the top and bottom covers, and the case has
a belt and loop closure.
Inside the top cover you'll find 2 SD card
slots, 3 credit/business/CF card slots and a large slot that
is suitable for cash or other papers. The mid-grain finish
is soft and smooth and won't scratch your Zaurus when closed
in clamshell mode. All ports are easily accessible on the
Z, but this is the only case in our roundup that doesn't
have cutouts on the bottom cover for the CF slot and jog
dial. Despite the lack of cutouts, it isn't terribly hard
to use the CF slot or jog dial, but it would be nicer to
have them.
The Zaurus is held firmly in place by plastic
hooks that latch into holes on the bottom of the unit. You
will need to remove one plastic clip that holds the extended
battery cover in place. Don't lose this small clip! If you
intend to use the Zaurus both in and out of the case, you
may be annoyed by the small amount of play in the battery
cover when the clip isn't in place.
PDair's Zaurus case is absolutely wonderful
for the money. It looks like a much more expensive case,
is made of well-finished leather and is quite protective.
Its rigid padded covers should keep your Z safe in style.
