Anyone has the experience owning one yet? Your kind review would be very helpful. Another thing is that can I get it from other websites in Asia? I live in Malaysia and that the only way to save on postal charges. PLease advise.........thanks very much. __________________ "Run Shadowfax!!! Show us the meaning of haste - Gandalf LOTR"

It's very slim, has plenty of room for my ID, credit cards, etc. So it's all I have to carry around. It also comes with a little drawstring carry-bag if you want to do it that way. They are a little pricey, but IMO I think they're worth it! For my next PDA, I'll probably either buy another Sena, or go with something that has some canvas on it, to amek the case a little lighter! Hope this helps! Ryan

Actually, the Sena case is only $29.99 with $4.99 shipping right now. Regularly it's an extra $10. That's not bad at all!

The case is bigger than the one for SJ22, therefore more leather, yet it's still cheaper with their sale price right now! That's a great deal! If you have a TH55, you'd be crazy not to order a Sena case at $29.99!! :-)

Or that fact that the TH55 must be removed to switch Memory Sticks. That's why I like the Vaja and Bellagio designs. I'm siding with the Bellagio because it's $40. I plan on ordering one in the next few days... __________________ Visor Basic -> PEG-NR70V -> PEG-S360 -> PEG-SJ20 -> PEG-NX70V -> TH55 Last edited by theVariable : 07-04-2004 at 11:08 PM.

My only worry is that the Sena case is a flip back type for TH55 and when we open to use it, we will need to flip the case to the back. My question is; won't that block the camera which is located behind? We will need to see the screen and thats why we flip the case back; but what if we need to use the camera where we will also need to look at the screen? This is the part which got me thinking twice whether to buy the case or not. Can you guys advise? Thanks again. __________________ "Run Shadowfax!!! Show us the meaning of haste - Gandalf LOTR"

More detail will need to wait for me to receive it after the ship date (June 30). I'm a big Vaja fan, who regrets their decision to not provide an Ultra Clip option for the SO81 case. While I expect the leather and workmanship of the Sena case to be less than what I'd receive from Vaja, at least Sena had the forsight to add a belt clip option.

I got one for my NX70 about a year ago and after just a couple of months the edges started to peel, exposing a cardboard-like material underneath. I then went with a Bellagio case and have not looked back.

If I kept 2 memory sticks in the provided pockets after a while the corners of the memory sticks started to leave wear marks on my T-665 screen. I don't know if this has been resolved in the TH55 model case. Just a thought... __________________ Regards, PC

It was more expensive than the GlobalSource flip case that I had bought but the quality of workmanship is much better. I ordered it without any pockets on the inside of the cover because I too was worried about the screen being subject to wear. I feel the design is also better than most of the other ones on the market even if it comes with a heftier pricetag. Access and use of the jog dial and camera feature are better than on the GlobalSource case. I also appreciate the "play through design" which does away with the factory hard flip cover and the side profile is thinner than with most of the other cases that I researched. The only slight draw back that I feel is the obstruction to the memory stick access, which is not that hard to get to as it is just a snap fastner and flap. All in all the Vaja case is great case and highly recommend it

I had the same happen to one of the first cases they released, which was for the NR70. Even though, I've ordered the Sena with the belt clip because it's about the only one out there with a clip. It'll be a handy case to use now and then. I'm just hoping they've improved the quality over the last year and a half too.

Here was what I thought when I received my TG50 case. It still looks like new: "I just recevied my blue/black sena case. I think it is great. I used Sena's cases for my T665 and I was expecting the same quality from this case. It turned out that this case is much better than the T665 case. Great quality. These are the things that the T665 case did not have but this one does: 1The first thing I noticed is the edges. The edge of T665 case was painted and after 5-6 months' use someof the paint was coming out. TG50 case does not have any paint. The edges are folded in. This is a big plus for me. It looks very nice with blue black. 2The belt clip is metal just like the Vaja ones. Looks classy. 3Mesh screen at the speaker hole. 4Last but not least. This case is much thinner than the T665 case. There is no extra padding."
