Is it just me... or does the battery cover have a tendancy to fall off every time I remove the PDA from it's case?
Still, I can find little else wrong with it TBH, and with a little help from these forums, I've got the POI software installed and working too  |

Yes it does appear to be a weak point in the otherwise good design. I've applied a 21st Century solution, sellotape  _________________ Darren Griffin |

It did that in the first two weeks of ownership, it stopped doing it now for me. Either the inside of the case is softened or I got the hang of how the designed thought I should take it out...
Didn't think of that great 21st century solution though, that sounds pretty clever to me. Maybe you should patent it Darren as it is very practical! I am certain you can sell it as an Medion enhancement kit on e-Bay for £10 each ;-) ROFL Seriously very good suggestion |

Or could we alternatively put the PDA in with the opposite end first? |

Now you're just being radical!  |

A small blob of hot melt glue in the "slot" works well. It can be peeled out to slide the catch and doesn't leave a mark once removed. |

Just as easy, I took my wife's diamond nail file and filed the raised dots off. It's them that catch on the leather. Since then the cover hasnt fallen off again (8 months ago).
