Generic PDAIR cases of EBAY

[joeycan]

Hello,

I was searching ebay last week for PDAIR cases and came across variety of generic copies of the PDAIr case, from sellers like eforcity, selling at half the price of the PDAIR.

I was interested if anyone had purchased these cases and compared them to the real thing, as it is claimed in the auction that it is made from same materials, actually looks like they copied the mold pretty well.

Just curios.

I purchased a case from eForcecity. It looks exactly like the PDAir but since I don't have one I don't know for sure whether it's the same or not. A thread at BrightHand says that someone contacted the dealer and they say that it's not the same. Regardless, I am very happy with the case. It does everything the PDAir does and didn't have any of the issues that some PDAir buyers had. I recommend them!

Take a look at this thread (http://www.palmonecity.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1592). Also, try searching here and at Brighthand for Tungsten and case.

As I recall, some people found that the fit was quite tight. That's only an issue if you want to remove the T3 easily. Another was that the neoprene was a bit thick in spots or that it was pushed aside. I recall some concern over the plastic pins used to hold the T3 being misaligned. These issues weren't universal. I couldn't even estimate how many people had them other than at least one person did for each.

I had none of those problems.

Hi,

Just like to check with those who bought these cases.....any problems with them? How is the quality built etc... Appreciate if anyone who have bought them can give some comments, as I am considering to purchase one online.

Thanks!

I used mine unless just recently and it's been fine. Everything I expected. For day-to-day use I've switched to the Proporta Clear Case. It doesn't have the same level of protection but it's easier to use since the screen cover opens up instead of to the side. If you want a metal case, I'd still recommend the PDAir style.

Your link has nothing to do with cases, but about an emulator for Clies.

Sorry about that. I don't know what happened and at this point, I can't remember what I was trying to point to. Still, you can find the threads by searching on PDAir, Tungsten, and case.
