While I loved this case when I first got it, two functional issues came up that made me start searching for a new case. First issue is with the remote controller. Have you tried to plug it in while in the case? The case prevents it from plugging in completely (Mike Riegel had the same problem with the Extreme Limit case). The second issue, which is the main reason why I am switching, is that the book-style case combined with the smooth surface made me drop it TWICE :( Luckly no real damage was done but that made me stop using it completely. So now I am looking for a new case, regrettably. I have an Innopocket case and compared to the pictures posted on the review I can’t see any difference.

That makes sense, since the Innopocket and Proporta cases were exactly identical, as best I could tell, but the RS is slightly (and I do mean slightly) different. That one minor change to the Rhinoskin case doesmake me wonder (specifically, the cutout on the IP case for the 665 is rounded on the back, following the whole shiny area around the jog wheel; the cutout on the RS case is rectangular and covers much more of the PDA), but otherwise they are strikingly identical, right down to the locking mechanism (which I know the review of the IP here mentioned was superior to the older RS cases, so...). Or maybe I'm just a silly little conspiracy theorist, LOL. --Andy Thanks, Judie!

I think that Proporta and Innopocket are related somehow, but I don’t think there is a connection of any kind with Rhinoskin. I’ll see what Julie and I can find out…

I recently purchased a Rhinoskin for my T-665, and other than the shape of the cutout around the jog wheel (at least as pictured on the site), it's identical in every way to the Innopocket. The Proporta for the 665 is the same, too (well, the 615 one is; the picture for the 665 on the Proporta site is actually of a 615 case). I looked at the NR-series cases on both the Innopocket and Proporta sites, and...gasp...they're identical. Proporta's website announces a pending Mem Stick case that...shock of shocks...looks exactly like the Innopocket one. So, what's the deal? Is one company OEMing them for all three? Are two of them importers for the other? Are two ripping the other off? Or...? --Andy, aka Curious in Boston Does anybody out there in Gadgeteer-land know what the deal is with Proporta, Rhinoskin, and Innopocket?
