Overview

The Rugged Case for the HP iPAQ Pocket PC is designed and tested to resist display damage, dust and water contamination, and damage caused by dropping the iPAQ Pocket PC from a height of up to four feet. The rugged case makes it easier for HP iPAQ Pocket PC users to take their handheld wherever they go. A hard plastic cover on the Rugged Case protects the iPAQ Pocket PC, yet still allows the user to view its screen. When the cover is raised, the replaceable, clear protective screen protector of the case remains revealing the screen beneath allowing the user to interact with the iPAQ while still maintaining protection. The lower portion of the screen protector can flip up to access the fingerprint reader on the iPAQ hx2700 series Pocket PC models. Even while using the iPAQ Pocket PC, the case meets IP54 requirements for protection against dust and water contamination. The Rugged Case also allows the iPAQ Pocket PC user to access the DC jack and universal connector via tethered plugs.

Key Features

Flip-up door - The flip up door is made from a tough polycarbonate frame (black) and window. When closed, the flip-up door provides protection to the flexible membrane and iPAQ Pocket PC unit. The rigid clear polycarbonate window is sized to allow the user to see the display on all accommodated iPAQ Pocket PC models. The window is hard-coated for scratch and abrasion resistance.
Screen Protector - A flexible screen protector membrane provides a means for the user to access the touch screen and all front buttons of the iPAQ Pocket PC. The screen protector can flip up to access the fingerprint reader on the iPAQ hx2700 series Pocket PC models. The membrane is made of a tough, tear resistant TPU film. The membrane fits snuggly in a groove located in the upper case half to provide a water and dust resistant seal. The membrane door is replaceable and is sold separately in three-packs.
Removable belt clip - The clip is made from tough polycarbonate. The belt clip releases by pressing the snap release arm in a direction away from the main unit. The belt clip features a small hook at the end to prevent the clip form inadvertently slipping off.
Upper and lower case halves - The case halves consist of a tough Polycarbonate structure. The elastomer inner boot cradles the iPAQ and absorbs impact energy. The case halves are engaged first at the top where interlocking fingers provide positive engagement. The case halves then snap together on the opposite end. When brought together, features on the sides of the upper and lower case halves create a stylus holder.
The lower case half has attachment rails for the removable belt clip. Four small feet on the back provide a stable footing for the case when laid on its back (belt clip removed). The press to open buttons are at the bottom of the lower case half.
Openings in the upper case half provide access to the headphone jack, DC charging jack, and USB sync port. When not in use, these openings can be sealed with plugs. The plugs are tethered to the upper case half to prevent them from being lost. When installed, the plugs seal out water and dust to the IP-54 standard.
Case Open Lock - The rugged case includes a means to lock the case halves. By turning the case open lock screw ¼ turn the user can lock or unlock the snap release and prevent the case halves from inadvertently coming apart or deter unauthorized opening of the case. The case open lock is designed to be operated with a T15 Torx screwdriver. Two icons and an indicator on the screw identify the case as locked or unlocked.
Removable IR window/expansion card access cover - At the top of the upper case half, an infrared (IR) transparent door serves two purposes. When closed, its transparency at the correct wavelength allows use of the iPAQ Pocket PC's IR data port while maintaining water and dust resistance to IP-54 standards. The door can also be flipped open to allow access to the iPAQ Pocket PC card slots such as Compact Flash (CF) or Secure Digital. The IR transparent door is tethered to the upper case half by two tough TPU straps. The IR window is removable by sliding the tethers out of slots located in the upper housing.
Extended Card Cover - The rugged case is shipped with a removable extended card cover made of the same polycarbonate structure as the case halves. When installed the extended card cover protects protruding CF or SD cards from impact and maintains water and dust resistance. The extended card cover has a transparent window to allow the use of certain bar code scanner accessories.
Spacer Pack - The rugged case is shipped with a black polycarbonate Spacer Pack that allows the use of an iPAQ Pocket PC models equipped with or without an extended battery to be used with the rugged case.
