A
must have for the Jornada 720 or Mobile Pro 790.
The
Rhino Pak 3000 is quite the carrying case, loaded with
pockets inside and out. I purchased it about 2
months ago, and have already brought it to hell and
back numerous times.
One of
the first things I noticed as I opened the shipping
box, was the nylon mesh zippered pocket on the outside
of the RhinoPak 3000. I was able to put my
Serial Adapter, a 6ft. telephone cord, and RJ-45
dongle in there comfortably. I then opened
the main dual zipper that opens the Pak itself.
On the left side, I found what appeared to be a stylus
pocket, a slot, and a wider pocket.
Underneath was another unzippered nylon mesh pocket
which fit a PCMCIA NIC or Adapter card with case
nicely.
In the
spine were two smaller 'slots' which I have yet to
figure out what I can put in there. Emergency
change for a pay phone in the event my cell phone is
stolen, I don't know.
The
beauty of the RhinkPak 3000 is in the right side.
Inter-weaving nylon resistance 'bands' criss-cross to
provide you with numerous configurations, for numerous
devices. The bands are also configurable for a
Jornada 720, which makes this case a great addition.
My only
problem with the case is the pockets on the left side.
For a Jornada 720 they are ok, however if you place
anything in them with some mass, they may press
against the unit when the pack is closed or pressure
is applied from the outside. More of a threat
for Palms or Pocket PC's, less for a Handheld PC; yet
still an issue.
I have
also washed the Pak a couple times, once from being
dropped in a puddle of muddy water. The Pak help
up fine while submerged for roughly 1-2 seconds,
everything inside the case was fine. Anything in
the nylon mesh pocket on the outside was ruined or a
soggy mess. I also spilled Orange Juice on the
case, but didn't realize it until a few days later.
A quick trip into the washing machine on a gentle
cycle, and a hop into the drier on low heat, and all
was well again.
The
Rhino Pack is fastened to my Targus Backpack through
the carrying handle, it rests nicely on the back pack
itself. I highly recommend the Rhino Pak as an
addition to your device as a small mobile carrying
solution.
As for
the price, I'm not going to complain. If you
are looking for imitation leather with cardboarding
backing, look elsewhere.
