A Journey Down Under: nSignia PDA Cases Reviewed
Posted by Darius Wey in "HARDWARE" @ 10:30 AM
I Want a Case that Defines Me! Can It Be Done?
It sure can! Type of leather? Book-style or flip-top? Colour? A removable belt clip? The choice is yours. In addition to that, you can also choose to have your initials embossed on the case. Now that's personalisation!
Actually, the belt clip option itself is rather interesting, so I better elaborate on it. While many cases in the market only allow for single clip orientation, nSignia's cases allow for two (both horizontal or vertical). A metal mount, which inserts into one of two holes located on the rear of the case, allows for secure attachment of the clip in an orientation of your choosing. If you need to change to the other orientation, it's a simple remove-and-attach process.
Win a Case of Your Own!
nSignia are always looking for ways to improve their products. Because of this, they are currently conducting an online survey to assess the needs and wants of consumers who are looking to purchase a case for their PDA. By completing it, you not only help contribute ideas to make future products better, but you also go into a draw to win your very own exotic leather PDA case. The competition ends on February 28, 2005.
Conclusions
I'm always unbiased in my reviews, so I always try to spot the positive and negative aspects of every product I look at. With that in mind, nSignia decided to make my life a nightmare as I found very few faults in the case. The button-pressing vulnerability was gone within a matter of weeks, and my case is still in one-piece after subjecting it to a number of somewhat harsh environmental conditions. The tight-fit helps secure my Pocket PC in place, and the wealthy number of slots on the left for my cards is a bonus! Also, I can't let the high quality of the leather and workmanship go without a final mention. They really add to the durability of the product. So, the final verdict? This one's a keeper!
