the case is like adding a "shell" on my ipaq h1945
this is a very good product, and don't add too much thickness
but there may be problem for the users use right finger to tap, and carry under cold weather with bare hand (because the case is aluminum, which transfers heat/cold)
overall, this is a must for ipaq 1900 series users
note: belt clip with attaching screw included

Let me start off by saying that this case fit very well with my iPaq 1945. It leaves all the essential plugs accessable, however it does cover the soft reset button, although depending on how often you need to reset the pda, it may or may not get annoying to take out the pda everytime it needs to be done (And with a Windows based OS, it does happen).

Don't trust the belt clip, it fell off the first day I used it, even after I heard the snap that confirms that it is in securely. Ended up bending the case so that i have to unbend it everytime I want to open it. Now I have to ship it back, which of course means I lose the money for shipping. I'll probably invest in a different case since I don't see the point of a metal case if it gets ruined once it falls off.

I purchased the RhinoSkin Aluminum Hard Case for my iPAQ 1945. The iPAQ fits nice and snug in the case leaving access to the voice recorder & IR port, headphone jack, microphone, SD card, sylus, as well as the port for recharging and synching. I also like the insert that holds an extra SD card inside the cover.

What I do not like about the case is the belt clip with screw-in post. With the repeated motion of sitting and standing throughout the day, the screw-in post has a tendency to loosen itself from the case. Three times since I purchased it in June the iPAQ has fallen off the clip. One fall sending the iPAQ in an armored ride down half a flight of stairs. Another fall causing the SD card residing in the slot to be lost (but that's a different review). No significant damage has occurred...yet.

For the most part it is a good design, but how much protection does a case provide if it is causing the falls that it is supposed to be protecting against. I recommend not using the clip, but if you do, make sure you habitually check the tightness of the post. I suppose you could permanently affix the post, but then you will not be able to lay the iPAQ flat unless you take it out of the case. Decisions, decisions...

Nifty case but VERY difficult to use the PDA while it's in the case with the front open -- especially if you're left-handed and have normal- to large-sized fingers. There's simply no way to comfortably and securely get a grip on the case with one hand because the front doesn't fold back. I'd recommend Rhinoskin's leather case for IPAQ 1900 Series PDAs (00366).

This item works great, i'm stationed in Iraq and my equipment gets banged around all day, this cover really helps.

Fits well looks good , generally well made piece of equipment and of course saves my expensive PDA from damage.

Offers great protection and protects the IPAQ very well. The Ipaq fits beautifully in the case. It is easy to use and everything but the reset are accessable with the case on

This little case is slim and light weight yet protects my IPAQ perfectly! I did not get one immediately - my IPAQ screen got cracked - now it is protected! Dont make the same mistake I did and get one of these to protect your invesment!

This is a great case at an even better price. Helps prevent accidentally turning on the IPaq, which was a problem.
The downside is that it opensfrom left to right so if you're right handed, as most people are, it's difficult to hold because the cover gets in your way.

Still, it's a great deal and a nice product.

The RhinoSkin case itself is super! It is durable and protects the screen of my ipaq. Being aluminum, it is prone to bending out of shape if you keep it in your back pocket and happen to sit on it, but it easily bends back into shape.

I've never seen a pda belt clip of any kind that could stand up to daily use, and this one is no exception. The post is very durable, but the actual belt clip broke after about two months. The pressure placed on the clip when getting in a car, sitting in a chair, was too much for the belt clip. Thankfully it broke in the car and the pda didn't fall to the concrete.

Expect the case to last but don't expect to be able to wear it on your belt for very long. For the price, though, it is a good product.
