1.0 out of 5 stars What a ...!!!, April 3, 2002

By

This review is from: iConcepts Universal PDA Starter Kit (Office Product)

Please, please don't spend a dime on this kit.
1. Don't be fooled by the phrase that says "Pack of six Screen Protectors" : Well, there are actually 6 protectors, but if you have Compaq iPAQ, you'll have only one protector. One protector per each of 6 different PDAs. I was so upset because my iPAQ protector sticker was even missing when I opened the box. What am I supposed to do with a bunch of stickers for Palm, Visor and Clie?
2. Only one pair of wet and dry cleaning pads.
3. Leather carrying case : using velcro, simple, and not so impressive.
4. 4-in-1 stylus : too big and too heavy to carry
I should have bought a seperate cleaning kit or multiple screen protectors only.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money, August 29, 2002

This review is from: iConcepts Universal PDA Starter Kit (Office Product)

It was against my better judgement to buy this product, but I bought
it anyway for the following reasons.
1. I had read others' warning to protect the face of my PDA with a
clear plastic film and I was too busy (read lazy) to go seek such a
thing and cut it to size. 2. After having surveyed the many options
for a protective case, I finally opted to go with the cheap case
offered in this package and then move up from there if I wanted
something better. 3. A couple of reviewers raved about the
pen/stylus.

Well now I know. An utter waste of money. 1. The 6 plastic films
included, as you'll read from other reviews, are specific to
different PDA manufacturers. What I didn't realize is that they
don't fit very well. The one for my Visor (the largest in the pack)
is still too small, leaving an awkward rim at the edges, (and I touch
the edges all the time). It also must take better than the average
bear to apply it without being crooked or bubbled, and even when I
managed that (mostly), it looks crummy and in certain light blurs the
screen. 2. The case is fine as cases go, not great quality, but what
do you expect for [$$$]. The restraint flips up in the way of the
screen when open and the cover tends to close when in use, so you
spend a lot of energy just thinking about the cover when you're
supposed to be reading/writing on your PDA. If you use it on the go
like I do, sometimes I don't have that many hands. Furthermore, the
PDA attaches via a velcro pad, which is a pain if you ever want to
sync with your computer, adding an extra operation of ripping it out
of the case each time. It does have a pen holder, but of course any
real pen is longer than the case and sticks out on either end. And
of course the worst part for me is that once it's in the case, you
can forget putting it in a pocket. A neat purse (who has one of
those?) or a brief case would be fine, but it doesn't protect from
lint -- see the case reviews. 3. I've had my writing preferences
figured out for a long time and my favorite instruments are already
in my pocket. The 4 in one (pencil, black pen, red pen, stylus) is
cute, but useless to me. The pencil is not as good as the pencil I
carry, and likewise for the pens. Ah, but it has a stylus! Yes, but
so does my PDA, and one which smartly fits into the side, so when I
want to use it, I only have to reach for one thing (the PDA/stylus),
not two. Also, I would live in fear of accidentally putting the
sharp pencil or pen tip down (and thru) the surface of my PDA. Not
that I would ever do such a stupid thing, since I NEVER do stupid
things, just like you. 4. Finally, there's the cleaning kit that
comes in the package. So far I've found that my shirt tail works
quite well at polishing up the screen, and [$$$] is too much to pay for
a dab of alcohol.

So, don't follow in my footsteps of ignoring good advice on this
product. You want a case?--go buy a case. You want protective
film?--go to the hardware/fabric store and get enough to last a life
time for next to nothing, and set aside a Saturday afternoon to cut
it to the real size and install it (keep your credit card handy for
smoothing out the bubbles). Lose your stylus?--go buy a 3 pack of
the type that'll fit in your PDA where they belong.

This review is from: iConcepts Universal PDA Starter Kit (Office Product)

I read all the reviews on here and purchased the starter kit with my new clie based on the enthusiasm displayed. However, I am a bit disappointed. The 6 screen protectors were not universal, they were for specific handhelds and none for my clie. I tried cutting one to fit but ended up with alot of bubbles and just got rid of it. The case is a little bulky and prevents you from putting the PDA in your pocket. The wet dry wipes are okay but other stuff on the market, like glass wipes and alcohol wipes, will do the same thing. The only really useful item is the 4in1 stylus but the black ink quit working after 3 days. My advice is not to order this until you use the PDA for awhile and then decide that there are some additional items needed to make it more useful.
