4.0 out of 5 stars Better for some PDAs than others, August 26, 2006

Well, this has always been a bedeviling topic for me (and, I'm sure for others)--it seems that better solutions should exist for this problem than those that are actually available.

The pros: Cost. Better protection than with most other cases, especially from dropping and light water. Storage for mem cards,a few business cards (storage is not dedicated for mem cards, however--relatively deep, small pockets are used instead), a pen loop, and a spare stylus slot. Worked well for Tungsten E. Holding prongs hold Lifedrive very well now....

The cons: Somewhat bulky, barely fits in a front pants pocket (would fit better in a jacket pocket or a woman's purse). Holding prongs became more flexible over time for E (worried about being too loose). Back prongs for keeping unit from falling out at bottom interfere with Lifedrive phone jack and somewhat with hotsync/charging cable--must push PDA up somewhat to alleviate. Can no longer zip bottom (and sides) of case for Lifedrive when using headphone jack. Not waterproof--limited water resistance.

Other thoughts: I'll probably continue to use this for the Lifedrive--it's likely I'll drop the beast at some point, so I hope it will drop while it's at least somewhat secure in this. I just can't trust relatively open holsters and slippery metal cases with insecure and difficult latches.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's A Beast!, May 10, 2008

The Case Logic Strongman case for my PDA is exactly what a fast-moving, hard-working (and often clumsy) man in my landscaping business needed. It is truly a beast in terms of construction -- I've already dropped it six times from heights that would have destroyed my pda. Who needs this product? The outdoor worker of course, but it's also useful for those (me) with grandchildren who can grab and throw an object in the blink of an eye. It's definitely worth every cent -- and more.On the downside, it's a bit bulky, and not even a belt loop would help much. But compared to the cost of a pda replacement, it's a minor inconvenience. (Hint: Just wear cargo trousers with those huge side pockets -- it's a neat fit!

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Tough, Really Bulky, June 22, 2008

The Case Logic Strongman sure lives up to its name. It is a very tough case that is able to fit all different types of PDAs. It has a lot of room in it for your memory cards, business cards, even credit cards and such. Its almost like a wallet that fits your PDA inside. Just don't try to put it in your back pocket. That's the only thing I did not like about it was its bulk. It is rather large. You cannot fit it inside a regular sized pocket. Even in my cargos it was a tight fit.

But that was the way this case was designed. It would be great for camping expeditions or if you take it onto dangerous job sites and such. So if your looking for something that will protect your PDA well from hazard, this is it. But if your looking for something that will fit in your pocket I'd look elsewhere.
