I was a little leery at first but after using it for about 6 months, I'm impressed.I use my PDA every day.The 'clasp' portion still snaps closed, the plastic lens is still translucent enough to read through and my charging cable can be attached without moving/removing anything.It's metal and I personally like that.I would definitely recommend this case.
After doing extensive research on the interner, (I read most of the reviews, and these are what helped me choose the HP 111), I ordered it. I wrapped it as it came.When He opened it, he was VERY pleasantly surprised and began using it immediately. By the way, I am not technologically savy, but my husband is. I bought it for my husband for Christmas. The reviews are very helpful in choosing products, even if you aren't up on all the tech-toys. He had a Palm for Years, but it was outdated and beginning to fail.
He has great confidence in HP products.Thanks again. Hey Guys,Thanks for this great product. It arrived very quickly (before Thanksgiving). This is a great way to comparison shop.
If the case opened in a more conventional manner, it would only obstruct the SD card slot. Of course, you might want to consider getting a screen protector for it as well as for your 111- the case's window will be prone to scratches since it faces the world. The hinge is on the right side of the unit. Being right handed, I can't even use the open cover as a tray to hold a note or business card as I enter it in my 111 because my hand obstructs the view while I'm writing. I went with the black aluminium case instead of the silver colored one. But a case that pops open and allows the device to fall out after a short fall is NOT a good case, in my opinion. A nice feature is the clear plastic window in the case's front lid- all you have to do is pull out the case, turn it on,read your next appointment on the 111's display, power off, and put it back in your shirt pocket.
So I was very happy to see that somebody came up with a hard case to go with my HP iPAQ 111 Classic. I don't know about you, but I use the power switch and the recorder button more often than I fiddle with SD cards. So in my opinion, the case design is optimized for lefties and has a minor operational annoyance for righties. Being a rightie, therefore, I'm deducting one star because all in all, it's still a good accessory for the 111.Update: Deducting two stars. Luckily, my iPaq still works and the only cosmetic damage is a scratch on the screen protector (easily replaced) and a couple of scratches on the body. Which means that the case opens like a book you open from the back cover instead of the more logical and intuitive way you normally open a book. to the ground. It should have stayed closed.
The case popped open and my iPaq popped out of the case when it hit the sidewalk. This one is a beauty. Quick, easy, efficient.
With the case cover open, the lid obstructs access to the power switch, reset button, and the voice recorder button. A pity, because otherwise, it had the potential of being a great case. So now I'm rating it as a two-star device although Amazon won't let me change the rating.
Call me paranoid but I always get a hard case to go with my PDA. The only annoying part of this case's design for me is the placement of the hinge. I dropped the case- it fell from my pocket about 3 1/2 ft.
