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? Confused

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 Thumbs Up

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

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! Mr. Green

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).
