Hard Case for Sony N Series Coming Soon
DS International will soon be offering a Pocket Armor hard case for the Sony N series Clié. It features a very unusual design that protects the handheld while still allowing the user to access the Memory Stick slot, the Jog Wheel, stylus, and even the HotSync port without removing the handheld from the case. The cover open to the right, rather than to the left as on most cases. This leaves room on the left for openings in the case for the Jog Wheel and Back button. The company is taking preorders now. It will begin shipping December 15 for $30.
The case is 3.62 by 5.01 by 0.96 inches when closed and weighs 2.75 ounces. It comes in either Gold, Titanium, Silver, and Black colors. Despite the names, all of these are made of aluminum.
The Clié is held in place with two clips on the top and one on the bottom.
DS International also offers a version for the Palm m500 series, Palm V series, and Handspring Visor that also cost $30 and will be available December 15. Unlike the Clié version, these are similar to other cases already on the market.

RE: Hey, what about the N760c?
Q.
I have a Sony Clie, can I use the head phones while the case is closed?
A. Yes, Pocket Armor is designed in such a way that all the functions on the Sony Clie are useable with the case closed.

Anyway, in comparison, the GOOD aluminum cases as well as leather cases are more than 50 bucks. In some cases, more than $100.00. $30.00 for a good case just seems to good to be true.
From the previous post about opening the case left to right, you will love it once you get used to it. Im using the Extreme-Limit case an it opens in such a manner and is great for access the jog dial.
Case width accurate?
Inside US only.
BUGGER!

If they dont ship internationally why isn't there some mechanism to reject international addresses.
Or did I miss a BIG RED NOTICE SIGN?

Hey that pic makes me think again about the piece.
I thought it was a snug fit around the clie!
The clips, what about the clips?!?
RE: The clips, what about the clips?!?
Got One! But its not all good news...
1. Its not really an aluminum hard case... it has an aluminum front but the back is PLASTIC so i wouldnt dare sit on it or put it in my back pocket.
2. The stylus is recessed a bit too far... its nearly impossible to remove it without mechanical aid.
3. The latch is a friction latch of sorts but with one end plastic and the other end aluminum it doesnt work all that well... and the latch release button on the plastic side of the case rattles.
Its not bad as a case, but as a hard case rhinoskin is in no worry.... but hey rhinoskin take a look at this... a case like this can be made... would you guys do one right?

Kyle,
Unfortunately we have discontinued manufacturing the hardcase for the Clie. I have not heard of anything new coming out in the near future. You might want to look at the new EVA Sportcase. This is the closest thing to a hardcase that we have to offer for the Clie
users. Thank you for your inquiry.
