Sena Case for the Toshiba e830… Looking Even Better in Leather.

Figure 5: Bottom Edge.
The one thing that disappointed me about this case was the fact that the flap did not lay flush with the PDA. I always have a bit of anxiety about some object slipping underneath the flap and damaging my screen. Only the presence of my screen protector serves to provide me with a bit of comfort.

The inside of the case gives you access to the 4 standard hardware buttons and the D-Pad. While I found the case to be a tight fit, I did, on occasion, encounter a little interference when I need to touch the screen somewhere along the edges.

The Inside flap provides a total of 5 insert pockets, including 2 for SD cards and one that runs the whole length of the flap.

The most convenient attribute of the Sena case is the ability to sync my PDA without removing the case. I did have to move the cradle’s back support to its second position, but it fit perfectly.
Conclusions
The Sena Case for the Toshiba 800 series is a quality product that provides both style and function. The design is very accurate providing unobstructed access to all of the devices controls. While there is some bulk added to an already large device, it is kept to a minimum. The downside to the case is that the flap is not flush to the PDA. I've been using the this case for well over a year now and can honestly say that it has held together wonderfully. No frayed edges. No unravelling seams. Overall I'd say that its well worth the $44.99.
