PDA Case Protects Handheld From Damages
One of the most important buys a PDA owner can make is a case for their usually expensive electronic device. There are different styles and types available in a PDA case but the most important part of choosing one is its ability to protect the unit from damage. The screens on many handhelds are susceptible to being scratched or damaged, especially if carried open in a pocket or purse, and a PDA case can protect the screen from becoming destroyed.
Whether the owner chooses a soft case or hard case, having just about any type of PDA case will be better than many of the clear plastic covers that are typically provided with the new units. While the covers may protect the unit from scratching on the front as well as the screen, the offer little in the way of protection to damage to the back of the PDA or to any damaging elements to which the unit may be exposed.
It is not uncommon for people to get unexpectedly caught in the rain or snow and a good PDA case can offer protection against damage from moisture. Cases can be found that fit into a pocket or purse or that attach to a belt and can quickly be retrieved when needed.
Ideal Case Has Openings For Connections
Many types of PDA cases are designed for use only when on the move and will not allow the unit to remain in the case when connected to the synchronization cradle or to a charger. Some of the soft cases will leave the connections open in order to sit on the cradle while still in the case, but some argue they also leave the connections open for damage and infiltration by dust and dirt while being carried.
A slim, metal PDA case can also be used if the unit is often carried in a suit jacket pocket or in a brief case to shield the unit from damage due to inadvertent bumps and many open like a book, allowing it to remain in the case while in use. Some of the available PDA cases also have storage spots on the inside of the cover for keeping extra memory chips or storage of small paper notes.
A PDA case can also be found that clips into a notebook or time management portfolio to help keep all available information at the user's fingertips. By having everything together, there is less chance that one or the other will be left behind while traveling.
