I just received a Sena Case for my NX70V from SenaCases (http://www.senacases.com), and it looks great! It fits very well and covers "enough". The lower corners of the screen casing are very slightly exposed, but it's barely perceptible. This won't be any problem as far as looks or protection.

I REALLY like the Memory Stick pouches. There are two, and they hold the Memory Stick(s) snugly. Only the leather is touching the screen, not the Memory Stick when I close the case while the Clie is in Tablet mode. I'm pretty sure this will be OK for the screen. I typically use my Clie in Tablet mode, so this will probably be my preferred way of keeping it. The included mirror nicely stiffens the flap, and I believe this will significantly help protect the screen while in Table mode.

As for construction, The stitching is excellent, and the edges are finished very cleanly. I don't notice any stray threads or roughness on the edges. All the holes and cut-outs line up well, and all controls are very easily accessible. Fits like a glove.

Oh, and it smells good, too! (MMMMmmm...Leather!)

The UltraClip is excellent. I had an old case for my Pilot 1000, and it had a similar clip, and found it indespensible. This UltraClip is solid, and looks pretty rugged. I don't see it waring out any time soon.

I ordered the "Black/Black" model, and it looks sharp and professional. Yes, keeping it on the belt definatly hightens the "geek factor" but I don't cary a cell phone, and it's classy-looking enough that it looks very nice. At first glance, you would mistake it for a cell phone pouch.

One final note: Their customer service was stellar. I had a question about construction, and they replied promptly (within 24 hours.) The ordering page was a little flakey, but the order went through, and I was charged appropriatly.

While there are a number of cases out there to choose from, I can tell you that you won't be disappointed by this one.

good to hear that you like it. I just ordered one this weekend. How long did it take for it to arrive?

I ordered one last week on the 22nd. Got it today (27th). I like the quality, but it is a little "puffy" on the front cover. I read in another case thread about using it in tablet mode and scratching the case and screen. I am a little worried but will keep everyone informed. Very nice case overall! I wish I had gotten the 29$ preorder price, though.

BTW: I ordered the blue and black model. I noticed when I got it that the blue was much darker than on the website (less vibrant, which is okay with me). I know everyone's screen is different, but it did differ in color from both my work machine and home machine. Still, good looking, just darker.

I've had my Sena case (Black/black) for nearly a month now, having got in on the preorder. I wouldnt't be without it, it's fantastic. The only drawback that I've found with it, is the memory sticks "polish" the front of the case leaving a kind of imprint. Most of this can be cleaned up though and isn't too noticeable, and I may be harder on my NX than normal so your results may vary.

I just got my case today. Ordered Sunday and received it on Tuesday, wow that was fast. My initial impressions are that it fits the nx pretty well. Like others have said it doesn't quite cover the edges of the case completely. It does fit very snuggly on the nx and doesn't add very much bulk. The memory stick pockets do a good job of covering the sticks so that they dont scratch the case. I don't have a wifi card so I can't say anything about how it fits in the case. All in all I'm pretty impressed with the fit and the quality of case, and very happy with the speed of Sena's shipping.
