Amazon and an NZ90 case in the UK?

[Unregistered]

I finally got my NZ90 a couple of days ago after it failed to turn up from Amazon.

They said they sent it but I never received it which mightily pisses me off as someone is walking around with a 'free' NZ90 - not to mention about £90 worth of books (I cleared out my Wish List at the same time!)

At least Amazon were forced into a position where they were obliged to send my order again. Can you believe that they send out £600+ orders with no requirement of a signed delivery? If I was crooked I could've simply claimed I hadn't received it when I had and ended up with two Clies. Sadly, this is NOT what happened :(

Anyway, I LOVE my new Clie and I'm the envy of all who see it (which is cool!) but I would like a good case for it.

Can I please get recommendations for nice, strong and good looking cases that can be purchased here in the UK?

I don't really want to import as I did this with my iPod case and it ended up costing me LOADS once I had paid those money-grabbing Customs folk.

Thanks.

Good luck in the case department. I am in the U.S. and have not had much luck. There are a few out there that I will post links to, but there hasn't been one that has knocked everyone over. Here is the list:

Each case seems to have its own strength, but many have significant weaknesses. I have started my day for the last month by coming on this site and doing a forum search on "NZ90 Case". That will keep you on the cutting edge until you make a purchase.

Well it is an import, from Japan, but there was absolutely no hassle with customs when I bought mine. Nothing extra to pay.

And it has the advantage of being the best case I've ever seen for any PDA in terms of design and quality. Believe me, when you put the NZ90 in this it comes alive. As I've said elsewhere on the forum.

Check it out at http://www.extreme-limit.co.jp/english/ where you want to look for the NZ90 Body Suit. They come in and out of stock as the guy makes another batch, and usually sell out very quickly indeed. Not cheap, 7000 Yen or thereabouts, worked out to about £55 including shipping IIRC.
