Initially Sena was making cases for only once popular Sony Clie PDAs. Later the company extended its line to PDA brands such as Palm (PDA), Ipaq, Dell Axim, and other brands.Company's leather cases for PDAs has become popular among many because most of Sena's PDA cases allow users to access the functions of their devices without taking it out of the case.
