Customer Reviews:
Good quality but I didn't need itJuly 10, 2008 When I bought the iQue M5 I ordered the leather flip cover as an accessory. I didn't know that the GPS would already have one in the package. So I ended up with two. Since we use the GPS in the car with the suction cup holder we don't need any cover at all. If you plan to carry the GPS in your pocket, it would be very useful.
This is a REPLACEMENT!April 10, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a REPLACEMENT item and you will probably never need one. If you do, it's worth its weight in gold but don't make the same mistake I did and buy it thinking it's an accessory.
Hinges break easilyJanuary 29, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I had my unit for a year and the plastic hinge broke.
I recommend getting and using the optional leather carrying case at all times because it helps protect the hinge somewhat. My hinge broke after a day I was carrying around my gps unit but didn't have my leather case with me.
However I think the hinge started getting more loose after about 9 months of use because the flip cover started falling off my pda occaisionaly after about 9 months of use.
Even when using the leather case you'll still want to use the flip cover. The leather case is softer and if you don't have the flip cover on inside the case there a good chace your unit's on button will get pressed on inside your pocket and the pda battery will get drained. The flip case is more rigid and it helps prevent the on button from accidently getting turned on while you are carring the pda inside the leather case.
Leather Flip CoverMarch 21, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The plastic mounting device that secures the leather flip cover to the M5 is very poorly engineered. I purchased my M5 in January and this mounting device has already broken. I am seriously considering replacing it with some other protective device.
