While the PocketPC Sport Case is great for the unit by itself, it will not hold the PocketPC with even a CF expansion pack. The enclosed plastic grip (which holds the PocketPc) is structured for just one thing, the PocketPC by itself. If you use any expansion packs on a regular basis, this is not the case for you.

Finally ... NO velcro! This sporty-looking case has a interior clip that affixes to your Ipaq to hold it securely inside. Because it's made of neoprene and rubber, the case offers excellent protection. The quality of the zipper is heavy-duty vs. the flimsy plastic zippers on similarly priced cases. Another nice feature is that it's offered in 3 colors in addition to basic black. It's light enough to carry manually via the rubber "grip", or tuck it in your purse, or backpack.

Note, though, that the clip should not be touted as a "belt-clip" per se, since the case will "flop around" when you walk if you clip the case to your belt (it dangles loosely somewhat like a set of keys). This case is a great alternative to higher priced leather cases ... buy it and keep it as an "extra" for casual instances such as while you're on vacation, at home, at school, etc., and save your leather case for business and/or special occasions. Also, is a great gift idea!

This case is just a tiny step up from the simple black sleeve that comes with the iPaq. I might even end up going back to the old sleeve, because it's slimmer.
The case has a hole in the clip where you're supposed to be able to attach the USB cable, but the cable head doesn't fit so it's always coming out. So to synch the iPaq with my PC, I have to remove it from its case.
The case looks cool, but that's about all it does. I'm wishing I'd gone for the leather case, and I don't recommend this one.

I was hoping when I got this sports case that the case would fit both the iPAQ and the Compact Flash Jacket, however, the interior clip is designed to accomodate the iPAQ ONLY.
Pros: The clip is designed so that you can use the iPAQ while it is still secured in the case, and the clip really does hold it quite securely. The case also feels quite nice in your hand.
Cons:
The interior clip holds the iPAQ so securely that it is somewhat difficult to install and remove it from the case. The zipper also gets in the way of removing the stylus- you may want to store it in the pocket instead of in the iPAQ. And, of course, you can only put the iPAQ in the case- I wouldn't count on putting anything else in unless it is VERY thin.

I have this case and it's great, it can hold my ipaq + expansion sleeves, expansion packs, credit cards and money. In short this is a great case.

This case holds the iPaq very well with no velcro - but that's all - no expansion sleeve. And it's not easy to take the machine in and out of the case. If you want something to protect the device and are willing to open the case as you would a book - this will work for you. I couldn't attach the USB sync cable although there is a hole for it. The IR port is exposed if you use that (I do for some printing). Frankly, I prefer a clip on holster type carrier and this case cannot do that.

Got the case about 2 weeks ago, and was surprised with just how small it was. not too much bigger than the actual iPAQ. Does have a really cool clip inside that holds youe 'naked' iPAQ without needing any velcro, but there is not much room for anything else. I have the CF sleeve, CF modem, CF ethernet card, and multiple memory cards, but there is not any room for but 1 or 2 of the CF memory cards in the case.

This case is way too small for anything. It will only hold your 'naked' iPAQ, and maybe a credit card or two. Is useless if you have any expansion packs. Would not buy again, but if I had to, I would go straight to Compaq, and get it for less.

When I got the case I thought it was a poor design that the snap would repeatedly drag over the top of the IR port. Then one day while putting the Ipaq in, the clip just broke off entirely! An extremely disappointing product.

This case works perfectly for the iPaq. Ever since I purchased my iPaq I have been worried about the screen as it seems more sensitve then other handhelds. But, now I have no worries! I highly recommend it.
