Meanwhile I checked with the people at Vaja. They claim it cannot be done "due to the item bottom shape". Perhaps you both refer to a different brand of cable ?

I should have done real shopping instead of online shopping so I could really see the design. On mine, the rear of the charger extends to provide a sort of supportive back for the male end and because of this critical feature/flaw, I have to take my C out of its case :-( Mind you, it's really not THAT big of a pain for me. Your mileage may vary... Tony. <blockquote><em>Originally posted by Gerrit Vanoppen </em> [B]Prior to switching from my actual m500 to a Tungsten C, your review was very welcome. Thanks, I'm definitely in for a Vaya case. Given the powerfull batterie, I would probably hotsync a lot without the need of the cradle. Can a Palm InnoPocket USB-Sync-Charger cable be attached an used for hotsync without removing the PDA from its case ? [/B]</blockquote> Excellent, thanks ;)

So, while I've managed to retain a vast amount of my peculiar native banter, Microsoft has seen to it (via spellchecker) that my written prose gets de-anglicised. I live in San Francisco so can't unfortunately comment on the UK Starby's but the UK/Europe does have a tendancy to be ahead of the US in things like broadband, wireless, 3G, etc, so I wouldn't be surprised at all. I too am thinking of an i-volution case for my iPod...when you get it you should submit a review! Cheerio Tony. <blockquote><em>Originally posted by andrewlwood </em> [B]hey Tony Am assuming you are British (because you are translating the term gobsmacked)...

It's great! I can't believe that I spent this much $ on a case but I'll get over it. I also have the E&B slipper case and I do think that the Vaja is worth 3 times as much. The precision and quality are unbelievable. FYI: there is no reset hole, my Tungsten C doesn't fit near as tight (difficult) as the reveiwer's, and yes, the sync cable works just fine.

This is very flexible so when you open the flip cover, you can flip it...I would guess around 310 degrees. What prevents a full 360 degree flip is the button on the back that the Ultra Clip attaches to. So, if you're hoping that you can flip the cover right over and hold the unit flat in your hand with the cover in the palm of your hand, the answer is no. Tony. <blockquote><em>Originally posted by ejhuang </em> <strong>can the cover flip back (ie - notebook style)? thanks. </strong></blockquote> Hi there,
