PDA Cases and Covers

When choosing a PDA case or cover, you must consider what kind of conditions your PDA is going to be exposed to. If you're primarily going to take your PDA to business meetings, a soft case or screen protector may do to simply keep your precious PDA getting from getting scratched in your briefcase or purse. If you're going to use your PDA to stay in touch while on a camping trip, you most likely need a hard case.

Something else to think about when selecting a case or covering for your PDA is 'what type of image are you trying to present?' Aside from protecting your PDA, a PDA case can be as much of fashion statement as a purse, watch or briefcase. PDA cases run the gauntlet from $20 dollars for a vinyl cover to hundred of dollars for a beautifully hand-tooled leather case. While each brand of PDA manufacturer such as Palm makes cases for their PDAs, there are many third party manufacturers who also make stylish PDA cases.

PDA Buyer's Guide

When deciding which PDA is best for you, the most important thing to keep in mind is functionality. What are you primarily going to use your PDA for? Do you want just a basic PDA to use as a date book? Will you need a modem to download e-mail and other information from the Internet to your PDA? Will you want to play games in color on your PDA? Knowing what tasks you'll use your PDA for will help you decide what memory, operating system, and software you'll need.
