Proporta is starting 2005 with a monstrous great list of new product releases for all the leading PDA’s and Smartphones

Proporta is proud to announce the arrival of new protective cases for devices including the iPAQ hx2000, Dell Axim X50/X50v and Treo 650.



HP iPAQ hx2000

Proporta expand their extensive collection of protective cases to include the iPAQ hx2000 series. Available for the hx2000, Proporta have Aluminium and Silicone cases. Each has been specifically moulded to perfectly fit the device while giving access to the machine’s individual features such as synchronisation port and stylus.



Providing durable protection from 100% anodised aircraft grade aluminium, the hx2000 Aluminium Case securely holds your device whilst cushioning the machine from impacts courtesy of a thin layer of shock absorbent neoprene foam.



Securely housed inside the case are two SD/MMC card slots – keeping your memory cards protected and on hand.

For an impact protective case that adds virtually nothing to the slender hx2000 device, Proporta has created a Silicone Case. Manufactured from non-slip, shock absorbent silicone, the case allows the screen to be viewed fully and all controls to be accessed.

HP iPAQ h6300

Alongside the standard Alu-Leather Cases (available in Book and Flip styles) released recently for the iPAQ h6300, Proporta has developed the Flip Case further to offer a removable case for the thumboard. The leather thumboard case attaches securely to the front of the main PDA case using two heavy-duty pop-in clasps. The thumboard case is completely removable so that it can be stored separately from the main h6300 case if preferred.



A removable belt attachment system and credit card module is also provided making the case both versatile and practical to use. With the case open, you have full access to all of the h6300 features, enabling the machine to be used inside the case.

Xda IIi/Xda IIs/MDA III/i-mate PDA2K/Qtek 9090/HTC Blue Angel

Proporta has released an Aluminium Case offering protection to the PDA which is sure to win the award for having the most product names - the Xda IIi/Xda IIs/MDA III/i-mate PDA2K/Qtek 9090/HTC Blue Angel.



This is the lightest and smallest case on the market, made from aircraft grade aluminium and lined with a layer of neoprene which cushions the device from shocks and scratches. Created to allow the screen to be visible from inside the case, the Proporta Aluminium Case incorporates a transparent plastic front panel and a removable belt clip system. Cutouts give access to all the major functions and features of the device of so many names - such as synchronisation port, memory card slot, and vital buttons – all from inside the case.

Because the Xda IIi is so new, Proporta is waiting for stock of these cases to arrive so they’re offering a FREE neoprene case ‘while you wait’. If you order your aluminium case now, they’ll send you a sporty and highly protective Wet-Suit Style Neoprene Case to keep your Xda IIi in pristine condition while you wait. They’ll then send your aluminium case to you as soon as it arrives and you get to keep the Neoprene Case too – you’ll need to be quick though because once the Aluminium Cases are in stock, you won’t get your free Neoprene Case.



In addition, Proporta has just released a 3-in-1 stylus for the Xda IIi/Xda IIs/i-mate PDA2K/Qtek 9090/HTC Blue Angel. Finished in brushed aluminium, this elegant stylus is a perfect combination of practicality and style as it includes a pen and reset pin along with the standard screen stylus and still fits inside the normal stylus silo of your device.

Treo

Proporta has announced the release of a protective Aluminium Case for the Treo 650 that combines the durability of anodised aircraft grade aluminium with the benefits of a moulded, clear plastic front panel – giving you an unobstructed view of the screen while the device is still safely inside the case.



Individual cutouts give access to all important Treo 650 buttons and controls and locks on both the sides and the bottom of the case ensure your Smartphone is held securely inside the cushioned neoprene lining.
