Protect your PDA with HP PDA accessories. Accessories such as an HP iPaq case, iPaq cable, iPaq car mount or extended battery protect your information, keep it accessible and convenient and let you add backup power to keep it going. Your PDA is vital to your business and everyday activities, carrying your appointments, schedule, contacts and important documents.

Before purchasing accessories, determine where and how you’ll use your PDA--business, household, home office, etc. Then choose accessories that complement your needs. Invest in a car mount if you travel often. Buy a battery extender if you’ll be away from your office. Purchase earbuds or extra memory chips if you use your PDA primarily for music and entertainment.

1. Shop around online, on auctions and in stores for the best deals on Hewlett Packard PDA accessories.
2. Decide how much you’re willing to spend for an iPaq case or car mount. Some accessories are worth the added price if you’ll use them and they enhance the function of your PDA.
3. Protect your information by downloading to your home or office computer with USB sync cables.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Purchase an HP iPaq case to protect your valuable data

Protect your PDA from bangs and falls with a variety of HP iPaq cases. Designs for both the iPaq 1910 cases and iPaq 2210 cases include a sleek, lightweight but durable aluminum case. With an iPaq 1910 case or iPaq 2210 case you can use memory cards, cords and extended battery attachments without removing the PDA from the case. A stylish, horizontal black leather case with belt clip is also available, as are waterproof and watertight cases, clear plastic cases and silicone cases.

I recommend: For suppliers of HP PDA cases, try Aluron, Inc., TangShop.com, and Proporta.

Enhance your PDA with economical HP iPaq accessories for under $20

In addition to a handy and useful HP iPaq case, you can protect your PDA with economical HP handheld accessories for under $20. PDA screens are very sensitive to bangs, abrasions and scratches. When they're damaged, they're expensive to replace, usually more than the cost of a new PDA. So protect your screen with HP PDA accessories such as anti-glare screen protectors, ultra-slim screen protectors, micro-fiber cleaning cloths, screen films and screen overlays. Small styluses can easily get lost, so buy an extra iPaq stylus to keep on hand. Also for an economical price you can purchase iPaq cable, such as USB hotsync cable, home adapter for sync and charge cables, auto charger and retractable data transfer cable.

I recommend: For suppliers of HP PDA accessories such as iPaq cable and iPaq cradle, try The Pocket Solution and CellPhoneShop.net.

For PDAs on the go, purchase HP PDA accessories such as auto mounts and extended batteries

For a little more money, you can buy Hewlett Packard PDA accessories such as extended power battery packs, SD memory cards and auto mounts. Don't be caught with a rundown PDA; carry replacement backup batteries with you just in case. If you're looking to extend memory, buy a 1 or 2 gigabyte memory card. To make your PDA even more convenient and accessible when you're traveling, consider an auto mount with 12v vehicle charger. If cool music is your thing, try HP iPaq accessories such as mini portable speaker pods and portable keyboards.

I recommend: BoxWave and Gizmos2Go.com carry iPaq cases and accessories. For batteries, try Crayton Electronics.
