Piel Frama or Bellagio

[creid]

I am trying to decide on a case from my NZ. I purchased it used and the seller included a PdAir case. The case is nice but I really need a clip of some type to attach the pda to my belt. The PdAir case is a nice case but it really adds to the size of the NZ with the padding of the case.
So my burning question is between the Piel Frama or Bellagio case or possibly someone has an idea of adding a belt clip device to my present case. The Piel Frama is $49 (s&H free) & Bellagio is $47 (s&h +). Or maybe someone has another opinion on a case besides the ones that I have listed. Thanks in advance :D .

Well, I haven't seen the piel frama one hands-on, but I have a Bellagio case.(Though without the belt-clip)
I must say I really love it :) Gives very nice access to all the stuff on the clie, and let's it charge in the cradle without having to extract it from the case. It does make the nz90 a bit thicker, but I don't really mind :)
The only one thing a bit bad about the bellagio is that it is a bit hard to use the jog-dial. But I rarely use it anyway :)

I was really looking forward to the case for my NX80V after reading about their great customer service and case design, but had a horrible experience with them... Ordered a color case at the beginning of October. Two weeks to get the materials in; fine. In two weeks, sent an e-mail and was told that they would inform me when they shipped it out in a few weeks; that was fine, too. Also asked about embossing around the turn of the month while I was waiting, though I decided I didn't need it. By last week, however, I had been waiting for over a month and sent an e-mail inquiry that was never returned; this week I sent an e-mail telling them I would cancel my order and spread the word about their poor communication and customer service. To be fair, I did recieve an apologetic e-mail that promised to ship it overnight and that Bellagio accepted full responsibility. The very next day, however, I recieved an e-mail blaming customs, my inquiry about embossing, and stated that they would send it by 2 day air. I really wanted this case, but am fed up with the odious cusomter service, and plan to cancel my order and send it back. The wait and bad treatment just aren't worth the case and price I'm paying for it. =( I know this sounds severe, but I will post the e-mails to back it up if anyone's curious...

I would go with the Piel Frama because it has a belt clip attachment that “Bellagio” doesn’t have. However Piel Farma doesn’t have as many color options that Bellagio has. I have both a black Piel Farma and a 2 tone black and brown case for my NZ90. I bought it on ebay, so I didn’t have the mess with the long shipping headaches people experience from international orders.

I should not stray off topic but have you also considered Vaja? They make excellent cases (I own 3) and offer a great colour selection and clips too. For me they are not as 'glossy' as Pielframa and thus will not scratch and mar as easily.

I really wanted one, but they're not making for the NX80/73 series... =( I'm deciding between Pielframa or Xigma because they're one of the few companies who offer a good-looking case that can accomodate CF/Wifi users.

I owned both the bellagio and the piel frama. The bellagio was very accomadating for accessories but made it way too thick. The piel frama was not as accomadating but was thinner. (it also was not as secure as the bellagio) I ended up using the piel frama case when out on the town (dressier) and the bellagio when at work (i'm a tech and tend to be rougher with it at work). If pressed to pick one, I'd choose the.........................piel frama. It took me several minutes to decide.

By the way, Vaja does not make one with a belt clip.

Vaja has some awesom cases, but w/ no belt clip options.
