Hewlett Packard Jornada 720 Leather Case

Rating:
Summary: bulky leather case
Review: I agree with Mr. Howard W. Rhee from Arlington. The case is nice but it is bulky due to the extra flap in the case. I wish that H. Packard will remanufacture this case without the extra flap in order to make the HP-720 portability useful.

Review: Summary: Buy this thing to protect your investment, but realize that it makes your jornada less portable

More info: I dropped my first jornada 720 and the case cracked. Fixing it cost hundreds of dollars, so when I got a new jornada 720, I definitely wanted to protect it!

Now that I have the case, I feel like the jornada is protected, but...it's really bulky!

The jornada, by itself, is about an inch tall. The case is twice as tall as that! This makes it really hard to put into my front pants pocket or even inside coat pockets!

So, the portability of the jornada is hurt (which is one of the nice things about the jornada in the first place...)

If you're wondering why it's so bulky, it's because the case has an extra flap which is designed for holding credit cards and stuff. You better have a lot of credit cards, because this thing holds seven of them!

I find this extra flap to be unnecessary. I wish hp got rid of it and just made the case as slim as possible (while still providing padding to protect the jornada).

Also, there isn't a flap for connecting the sync cable - that's a bit annoying.

But it does look stylish.

And ultimately, I don't want to pay a few hundred bucks again if I drop the thing (which I will).
