Proporta Alu-Leather Case for Acer n300 series mini review
Proporta’s Alu-leather cases take a minimalist approach to styling with the majority of Pocket PC being put on display when the case is open. Made from soft leather, the finish of this case is very good and you have easy access to all components and buttons. This case also offers good storage options with two SD slots alongside a single credit card sized slot under the cover. The biggest asset to this case however is hinted at by its name; the leather flip incorporates an Aluminium insert allowing it to be relatively thin yet offer increased screen protection. A stylish touch is how this brushed Aluminium is visible through a small window on the inside.
Proporta employ a clever belt clip system that allows you to choose whether you want this option employed or not. Using this system is simply a case of screwing in the metal connecting post and then hooking on the detachable belt clip itself. If not, a discreet black screw fills the connector on the rear of the case and sits flush giving a smooth, seamless finish. Unusually for a flip-top case, the catch on this design folds under from the rear and fastens magnetically on the front of the flip.
If you love the styling of your Acer, this is a good alternative to the other cases available although the side protection on offer here is not quite as high as some. This case cannot be used in the cradle although a sync/charge cable works fine and may well be sufficient to make this the ideal case for many.
This case is designed for the n310 and n311 range from Acer. More details can be found at the Proporta website.
