Review for i-nique Tuff-Luv Twin Skin Combo Silicone Skin Case + Belt Clip For Sony Walkman - CANDY TEMPATION - White/Pink (NWZ-S515 / NWZ-S615 series):
Great case
Got the sony mp3 player for my daughter for christmas, as shes 10 thought I'd better protect it ! Got one of these and am well pleased with it, it will certainly prolong the life of the unit and has enhanced the look of it as well.Its made from silicon which feels like a very soft supple rubber and I'm sure it would bouce if dropped (not going to try it though) .I initially thought it a bit pricey, but then the unit inside is worth a lot more so its kinda like insurance- do you ,don't you ,I thought it was worth paying out for.

Review for Sony Clié PEG-UX50:
Note that the H2210 is also exactly half the price of the UX50.
The UX50 has a great design, and in general has good performance. It also has a great display, where 'white' really is 'white' and the resolution is high.
There are however many flaws which make me dislike it as a PDA.
Firstly, It has a very slow processor, and to be honest - games really aren't that good on it. I compared 'Warfare Incorporated' on the UX50 and the H2210. It was about ten times smoother on the H2210.
Trying to get its built in Bluetooth to talk to Bluetooth-enabled phones is like trying to draw blood from a stone and, as someone else mentioned, the integrated wireless lan is already outdated.
I feel a strong sense of limitation when using the UX50. It only accepts Sony Memory sticks, which are too expensive for my liking. For the same price as a 128MB Memory Stick, I can buy a 256MB Compact Flash card AND a 128Mb MMC card (for my H2210) I'd much prefer it if it accepted Compact Flash cards, like other Sony Cliés.
The camera is very poor; the camera on my SharpGX20 Mobile phone is superior. There's no point in integrating a camera, if it's useless. The add-on cameras for my H2210 are also superior, in both resolution and quality. Even as a 'toy camera,' it's simply not good enough.
I'm not saying it's a terrible device, I'm just warning people that if you're looking for a Multimedia PDA - DON'T go for the Sony UX50. The UX50 is more of an organiser. If you want to use your PDA for entertainment purposes, look elsewhere.

Review for Sony Clié PEG-UX50:
Good - Not Excellent
As an owner of both an Ipaq H2210 and a UX50, I personally think that the H2210 is superior (Although I understand most of you will disagree with me)Note that the H2210 is also exactly half the price of the UX50.
The UX50 has a great design, and in general has good performance. It also has a great display, where 'white' really is 'white' and the resolution is high.

The nearly must-have
So how do you fault a HotSync cable - it does the job right ?Well I would push for a little more functionality - for instance, why is there not a travel adaptor that will allow the Clie to trickle charge via the same USB slot that you are HotSync-ing to ?
It is worth knowing that the adaptor that comes with the HotSync cable and allows it to plug into the Clie contains a second socket for a power supply. This socket is the same as that on the back of the original cradle, meaning that once you have the HotSync cable kit, you do not necessarily need to buy a second power supply for travelling (although one for the office may still be advisable).
