French Riviera Elegance - a Noreve Case Review

Posted by Don Tolson in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 AM



Product Category: Accessories – PDA case
Manufacturer: Noreve USA
Where to Buy: Noreve USA (European and Asian customers can shop here ).
Price: $44.99 USD for most PDAs / Pocket PC Phone Editions
Specifications: Eten X500 'Tradition' case reviewed. Black seems to be the predominate colour available. There are cases available for a wide (and growing) number of manufacturer's devices. Check the site for availability.

Pros:
  • Well designed and crafted with good protection;
  • PDA/PPC is easy to slip into the case, but is securely held in place;
  • Appropriate sized storage provided for Mini and MicroSD cards;
  • Controls for all day-to-day operations are available – including the camera.

    Cons:
  • No access to card slot or USB port when case is closed;
  • Belt clip is awkward to install and use
  • Pockets are tight for standard credit cards.

    Summary:
    Noreve is not a name we've heard a lot from in the past when thinking of leather cases for Pocket PCs and phones. While possibly better known in Europe and Asia, they now have a presence in the US which services all of North America. The cases are at the mid-range of the price scale, but are they worth it? Let's take a look.
