NOTE: * = The Rugged Case is not water and dust resistant when any of the tethered plugs are open to allow use of an external accessory.

• Flip-up door - 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 inside and out for scratch and abrasion resistance.
  
• Screen Protector - The flexible membrane provides a means for the user to access the touch screen and all front buttons of the iPAQ Pocket PC. 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 is resistant to discoloration from exposure to sunlight. The membrane is replaceable and is sold separately in three-packs of membranes.
  
• Removable belt clip - robust 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 ²hook² at the end to prevent the clip form inadvertently slipping off. Replacement belt clips can be ordered separately.
  
• Upper and lower case halves - The case halves consist of a tough Polycarbonate structure (black) with scratch and mar resistant TPU elastomer (red) over-mold. Pass-through elastomer ribs cradle the iPAQ and absorb impact energy. The case halves are engaged first at the top where interlocking ²fingers² 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. Two small ²feet² on the back provide a stable footing for the case when layed on its back (belt clip removed). The ²press to open button² is at the bottom of the lower case half. ²Loops² on the lower-case half provide attachment points for a neck strap or lanyard. The tough, high elongation TPU has more than adequate strength to serve this purpose.

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 PC card, Compact Flash (CF) or Secure Digital. The IR transparent door is tethered to the upper case half by two tough TPU straps.

Openings in the upper case half provide access to the headphone jack, DC charging jack, and universal connector. When not in use, these openings can be sealed with plugs. These plugs are tethered to the upper case half to prevent them from being lost. When installed, these plugs seal out water and dust to the IP-54 standard.

• IP-54 - designates the degree of water and dust resistance provided by the Rugged Case. The ²5² means dust protected.  Ingress of dust is not totally prevented, but dust does not enter in sufficient quantities to interfere with satisfactory operation of the equipment.  The ²4² means ²Protected against splashing water.  Water splashed against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect.² The IP designation is contained in IEC 60529 - Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code), an international standard that is maintained by the International Electro technical Commission (IEC). The IEC is an international standards and conformity assessment body for all fields of electro technology.

The Compaq Rugged Case is designed for use with Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC H3800, H3700, H3600 and H3100 Series products.

The Rugged Case has a one-year limited warranty. Technical support is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, by phone as well as online support forums. Certain restrictions and exclusions apply.
