Hi lovesick_joe,

sorry to miss guide you..
previously i reported the allocate from the MAP tht provide by PIKOM PC Fair.
But when I reach there, i cant able to find PDA Expert Booth at Hall 5 too.
And only manage to found it by going back to Hall 2. 

The PDA Expert staff told me tht BLACK DOpod 818 price is going to increase.
mayb as wht u say, too many demand on it till no stock lo..

Hi there... just to share.
I bought a O2 Mini Crystal Hard Casing for my Dopod 818.
Following are the attached photos.
mm.... i'm not sure where the it's too tie for Dopod or just fit.
But it's very hard to put my dopod into the case.

1 thing for sure. the Dopod button is just a little bit big on the side for this case.
as u can refer to the last photo.
but the casing still manage to closed.
I found tht it quite hard to open the case, mayb it's design like this or it's just not suit Dopod gua ...

Anyway, I found happy with it.
Cause it protect the entire Dopod including the screen.

Oh yeah... I bought it at PDA Expert LowYat too.
Cost RM30, not sure wherethe u can get it cheaper or me.
Tell me if u does.
Cheers...
