Bellagio Case arrived today!

[pcmommy]

It is a very nice case and very well made. You can tell alot of thought went into the overall design and assembly of this case. I ordered a black slipper. It took a few nudges and twists to get it in but after it was in it fits nicely. It also syncs while in the case, the first time you have to push down a little harder and some times hold it there but I think as the case wears it will just slide in normally. It fits kind of tight but like I said before as the case gets "broken in" it should fit like a glove. It is kind of a black nubuk leather and it looks very durable. Unlike the Vaja cases I have had before I am not afraid to touch this one. I think Vaja uses better quality leather but not really because Bellagio uses a hardy nubuck leather and I bet it will last a whole lot longer. For $34.99 shipped via Fed EX you can't complain and I would give it my Best rating in this class. It's definately not "cheap" looking or made, I would put it right up there with the quality of the Vaja but without the Vaja proce and outrageous shipping.

Overall I give it a 10!

I will try to post pics sometime when my schedule warrants.

Right on... the Bellagio Slipper case does rate a 10!! It works like a dream, has lots of space for MS storage etc., and the extra clear plastic that holds the case to the Clie near the hinge works very well. I cann't think of any drawbacks and it looks and feels like "quality" all around. Plus, the feel of the leather is soooo much better than the unusual feel of the metal case, though I must be the only one who thought the case was similar to chalk on a blackboard. A really good choice as was the Belkin G700 keyboard. Now I have a great PDA.

Sneezy, Melvin Tong has several really good pics in the thread that is just above this one, "official NX Cases". In the second group of 20 you can see the Bellagio case up close.

I really want to purchase this case. I have only heard good things about it. Maybe on my next paycheck.

I just got mine a few days ago as well. Nice constuction, not too bulky, and the belt cip attachment has metal parts not all plastic.

The way it fits in the cradle is nice, I'm very pleased with it.

Sounds good, guys - I'm looking to pickup a case soon.

Got a question - how would you characterize the Bellagio's ability to protect from impact, say some kind of fall. Does the case edge extend beyond the Clie's? Is the leather durable enough to provide good protection?

Thanks

[MCH738]

On mine, the bottom corners seem to stick out a bit from the leather, but the leather is VERY good quiality, not too thin, and just plain feels good in the hand. The top, back and sides I think are very well protected, and the clever design of the back that allows the clie to slip into the sync device is great. There are also well protected slots for 2 MS and 1 CF plus a leather flap that protects the screen if you leave it face up. Someone said it even makes the Clie seem smaller, and it does for some strange reason.

If you order the belt clip one, can the clip be removed and if it does, is that metal peice that stays obtrusive?

I just ordered the book model of the Bellagio Case for my NX70. I was going to go with the flip top, but I like the way the book model looks with "carved" spots for MS, WIFI card, and the hump on the NX70. The question I have is: How long did it take to receive it? I didn't see anything on the website that talked about the length of shipping and handling.

[MCH738]

Mine took 3 days. Enjoy.
