I will post more detail reviews. but.... for $40 dollar! I have no complain at all. It would be plus if their have in gunmetal color to match my NX.

On another thread, it was pointed out that there is no reset hole in the case. Easily remedied with a Dremel tool. The brushed Alum case is a good match with the NX70 __________________ Trident/Delta "Information is the ULTIMATE weapon"

some say it is some say it isn't - i know that's a frame of reference and even a matter of opinion but which is it guys! i really want something that's fairly form fitting... unlike most of the bulky leather cases.

Here are the numbers I got: -from palminfocenter.com: size of the innopocket case: 140 x 79 x 29 mm from sony, NX's size (without projection): 139.7 x 73 x 23.8 mm so the length is about the same, but the side and thickness are about 1/4 inch more. -Mike-

Can you still hotsync the NX on the cradle without removing it from the case?

well the over all size now is about 5 1/2" x 3" x 1" (the thinckest part)

it is pretty big, but since it is metal case. I will put it in the back pocket of my jean without have to worry to crush the NX.

Unregistered Guest Posts: n/a	Just received my two metal Inno pocket cases. I had ordered two cases on the 12th and they shipped out of HK on the 13th and just arrived here (Hawaii) ten minutes ago (today is the 18th). Not bad. The cost for shipping was very reasonable $6 for TWO cases via air mail, not FedEx. One case for my NX70V and one as a gift for a SJ-30 owner. First impression for the NX 70V case is that it looks up to the job of defending my Clie from being crushed in my backpack. It looks like it will also provide a good level of protection when I keep my Clie the pocket of my cargo shorts that I always wear for work. First negative impression. It's slippery. The paint is not textured like the Clie's. I could see this unit maybe sliding out of my grip, or off of a slanted surface. Also - The Innopocket NX70V case does not have a positive locking mechanism to securely hold the NX in place. But it does have a decent amount of neoprene padding that seems to hold and keep the pda from falling out of the case. Overtime the padding will probably compress and lose this holding ability, though. Overall I'm happy with the product. It looks like it will do what I need it to: prevent crushing, scratches, reduce the amount of dirt and dust the NX would normally be exposed to, and, provide a measure of "drop protection" for my beloved Clie. For $34 bucks it's worth it.

hherbzilla save the day Silver Contributor Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: NC, USA Posts: 2,374	Question for those who use this NX70V case: I had an unfortunate "accident" with my NX, and now there's a gap where the screen swivels. I can push the screen back to where it should be, but it moves back out when I release the pressure. I'm wondering if the Innopocket case will HOLD the screen in place once the NX is placed within it. From the pictures I've seen, I think it will, but I thought it best to ask some of you. Or can anyone recommend a case other than Innopocket that might fit the bill? TIA! __________________ Search and ye shall find! "It's because they're stupid, that's why.
