Seriously, I think that’s great that they’ve decided not to sell the case. Even if it is somehow leather, it certainly doesn’t look or feel like it, and who wants to spend $20+ on a leather case that doesn’t feel like leather? I doubt that my review of it had much to do with the decision to pull the case, but I would guess it was a decision based on customer feedback. That suggests that Surplus is quite responsive.

The case is still available for other PDAs though — this case is for the Sony S33, and it is exactly the same material and design.

As for the pics, I do apologize. My only working camera right now is a POS 1.3mp that doesn’t have a flash and doesn’t do macro very well (as you can see). If you want to see better pics of the material used, you’ll have to go to the Surplus web site and check out the .Sony case .

Hello Julie,

I’m apologize let Nate & you have a very poor experience from our H1910
case,

Acturally, The material is the 2nd layer of leather, All 2nd layer of leather will have a coating like plastic and use a module to embedded a pattern on it, So we still called this material named leather in HongKong, (I don’t know the acutal name of this material in your country)

And I stopped the selling program for the H1910 case,
Because I just want to keep a good image for all reviewer & a best goodwill for our customer and all visistor coming from your web site.

Thank you a lot!

Best regards,

Jonathan Sin

I’m very impressed that they would take the product offline due to Nate’s review. That really says something about them. Hopefully they can fix the issues with this case and come out with a better one.

First of all, the author of the review is a HE, not a SHE.

Second of all, I agree that the images are not very good… But, the review itself is very informative and that is what matters most.
