A Slot For Everything: The Rhinoskin Tri-Fold
Posted by Jason Dunn in "HARDWARE" @ 09:05 PM
The RhinoSkin Tri-Fold Leather case is a versatile Pocket PC case & wallet combo. It allows for compact carrying of your Pocket PC, and had a huge assortment of card slots. This case is custom designed to accommodate any Pocket PC. With extra fold-out pockets for credit cards, bills and even a notepad, who needs a wallet!
RhinoSkin is the name of the company, not the material the case is made of, but the high-quality leather (hand tooled genuine Italian) ensures durability and a sleek look for this case. The sewn-in double Velcro system secures your Pocket PC, but allows for easy removal when it comes time for synchronization. The heavy-duty brass zipper makes sure the case stays closed, and it feels sturdy enough to last. An extra fold out section with four extra card slots for more storage is definitely an asset, especially for those of us who tend to carry more than just a few cards with us! Unfortunately, it doesn’t have any sort of zippered compartment for change, which defeats the purpose of an integrated wallet, but it does have tons of space for bills! Along with the extra card slots, there are also three extra storage spaces (one behind your Pocket PC, and the other two behind card slots) for that extra blank cheque you carry with you for emergencies, or those coupons you always remember AFTER you get home from shopping! If you’re into hardware, there’s plenty of space for a few CompactFlash or even PCMCIA cards.
The RhinoSkin Tri-Fold Leather case comes in both black and chocolate colours, and is only 5.75" x 4.5" x 1.5" in size, so it fits in a small purse, with enough space left over to slide a cell phone in. And for those of you who own iPAQs with the PCMCIA or CF Card Expansion Packs, it’s designed to accommodate you too!
As a Jornada owner, I highly recommend this case as a stylish and durable space saver. I keep all my cards and my Pocket PC – my most valued possessions – in this case, and it doesn’t take up much space so rather than carry two bulky things, I can carry one and reduce the bulk. As I already mentioned, many durability issues are addressed with this case, along with padding and ridged edges for even more protection. If you want to look chic, keep your Pocket PC safe, and carry all your cards with your device in one place, this is a must buy for you! Where can you buy one? On the RhinoSkin website for $49.95 US.
