Anybody have this hard case?

Does anybody have this hard case? I'm thinking of getting it for my SL10

First, does it "lock on" to the back of the clie like the included flip-cover does?

Any other thoughts or opinions on this case?

I have it, and yes, it uses the same locking method as the supplied flip cover.

This hard case is OK, but not excellent. You sometime found yourself hard to get the MS or stylus out.

I have that case for my SJ-30. I like the case when I'm traveling and have my Clié in a duffle bag or a briefcase. There are a few drawbacks to it. First, you can't do a "hot-sync" on the SONY CRADLE when the Clié is mounted in the case. You have to take it completely out of the case for that. Second, the flip top does not "latch" in the upper position, so if you move the case and PDA forward, the case "flops" down. This doesn't happen too often, but I want to just mention that it can. Third, when I first received the case, it has some sharp edges on it. I had to lightly sand these so I wouldn't cut myself. The case looks nice, but in my opinion, it is just a bit "pricey" for what it is. Unless you plan on moving your Clié around a lot, or carry it in you back pocket, I think I would get a nice leather case instead.

I have a hard case too...the fit is good. but there are a few imperfections in its design that have scratched the top/side of my Clie...other then that, I think they're worth the investment...save alot of wear/tear on your PDA.

I got mine off E-bay...$28US for it <it's a slightly different style, opens like a book instead>. Also, the one I have has a slot in behind the Clie for storing an extra memory stick.

Thats like saying shoe laces come untied. This doesn't happen too often, but I want to just mention that it can.

I have this case by DSI and bought it from ebay for about $15 new.

Works great and got it at a good price.

I have a DSI case and you can charge and hot sync using the cables with the case on. I really like it. I couldn't find a nice leather case but I wanted grey with no belt clip.
