12Volt iPAQ 3600 series Charger
March 11, 2002
Product Requirements:
Device:
Compaq iPAQ 3600 series Pocket PC
It's a sad fact of life that Pocket PCs are notorious for sucking batteries dry faster than I can spend money on gadgets! And let me tell you, that's pretty darned fast! ;o) So what's a gadgeteer to do when their iPAQ suddenly starts crying for power when they are out and about?

If they are smart, the have a 12Volt charger which is available at
StylusCentral and other fine stores.
Available for the Palm III series, V series, m500 series, Handspring Visor, Sony
CLIÉ and Compaq iPAQ 3600, 3800 series, this charger works great in a car or
boat. Made of black plastic, the charger has a large connector and LED on one end, and a flexible stretchy cord that extends approximately 4 feet with a power connector on the other end. The large connector plugs into a free 12Volt (cigarette lighter) outlet, and the other end plugs into the power outlet on the bottom of your iPAQ. An LED is located on the base of the large connector and glows green indicating power when plugged in. This LED on the charger does not turn off when the iPAQ reaches a full charge. But you'll be able to tell the charging status by the orange LED on the iPAQ itself. While charging, it blinks yellow (as it does in the cradle) and will glow steady when fully charged. This is an easy to use accessory that can be conveniently stowed in a glove compartment for ready use when needed. Priced reasonably, this item is a must have for all mobile iPAQ users. |
Price: $19.99
Pros:
Convenient
Charge while you're on the go
Cons:
None

Why didn't you just check if water got in when doing the water tests? I don't see the practicality of showing that you are willing to "Risk It All" with this case to the audience. If the case got f*cked up, you'd have wrote a bad review, and a short circuited iPaq.
hehe
I agree Judie, this case seems very big and bulky to me. If I was mountain climbing or something like that and wanted to bring my PDA along, then I might consider looking at this Armor case. For everday use, this wouldn't be very practicable I wouldn't think. It is, however, very strong and will no doubt protect your PDA. :cool:
Masterchief,
This case is even more protection than I need when I am working cattle at the ranch, it is that rugged. It is big - but I know that there are those that won't care about the bulk. All they will see is the protection.
It's an awesome case, substantial and very well made. I think it will be interesting to hear if others have one, and how they are using theirs.
Judie :0)
Yeah,
This thing is kinda like a safe. I bet astronauts could use them without fault on spacewalks since they are airtight. :: that might be a million dollar idea :D :: Pretty impressive protection is offered. :cool:
