Life with Cruise 3 - Leather Case

Since I bought the Touch Cruise, I've to use the cloth cover bundled in the package. The cover is okay but it just looks 'girlie' to me. Most of my lady friends using a cover (sarung) to protect their handphone or pda. So it is just not 'me' to use the 'sarung' to protect my precious from coins and keys in the pocket. So, need to find a leather case that I can fit onto my waist belt. The search is ON!

After a week searching in Lowyat Plaza, Sungei Wang Plaza and Digital Mall PJ - still couldn't find the perfect leather case as most shops mentioned the popular case brands still not available as Touch Cruise is still new in the market. Then I start searching the Internet. And I found my saviour at PDAir. The one that got my attention is the horizontal leather case with the belt clip as in here.

It is priced for USD28 inclusive shipping worldwide - affordable with free shipping, who can argue with me for not buying it. I'm ready with my credit card, fill in my details and ready to click 'BUY NOW' but ..... they only prefer payment through PayPal. Roadblock - coz I forgot my PayPal account as I never won any bid at eBay before. After a quick interrogation, I found that one of my staff still using his PayPal account. So, I asked him to buy for me then .... and I'll pay him later ;) Thanks Dol.

The case arrived at my office after just 5 days. YES, you heard me correctly - 5 days! Such a quick delivery. The delivery is actually from Hong Kong. I'm used to buy things from Hong Kong especially from PlayAsia but my goods will usually arrived within 10-14 days. Amazon is the worst with delivery more than a month to arrive (US of A!). 5-days from PDAir is my personal best record so far.

Some of the pix that I've taken on my new leather case for HTC Touch Cruise.

1. The box that came with the good. Exclude from the pix is the bubble pack (in the waste basket already). Nicely packaged altogether.



2. Here is the real deal - It is black leather with white stitching .This is what PDAir mentioned about the case "White stitch finishing, making this case look more beautiful". I wish for all black but I don't have a choice .. really. And the logo is quite big ... smaller will make it look nicer.


3. Magnetic studs for ease of use.

4. Get-in and off from the case is quite easy. Make sure that you lock the screen first before you put the PDA into the case to avoid making accidental calls.

5. So, here you are the pix that shows my HTC Touch Cruise nicely fits into the PDAir leather case.
