Pocketbook IQ Q's on internal SD card, screen protection...

[JP36]

Hello everyone I just ordered an IQ and have been reading up, haven't found the answers so here are my questions.

Has anyone upgraded the internal memory to a higher class card or a higher capacity yet? Also does anyone know what class the card inside is if it is marked?

The screen, would using a screen protector cause any issues, and has anyone done this yet?

Finally any accessories made for it yet or are we just on our own for cases/protectors?

Yes, you can upgrade the internal card. Just pop off the back cover and swap it out.
There is a photo of the internal microSD location here:

I know that an 8GB microSD will work. don't know about the class of the included internal 2 GB card.

Regarding cases/protectors, see this thread:

No idea about the screen protector.

Don't know about the IQ in particular but my old PDAs with resistive screens never complained about screen protectors. Not sure the IQ needs one, though.

the internal 2gb sd is quite fast, coping large files goes fast, only with smaller file went faster with my class6 8GB microsd.

If you like I can upload a benchmark of the 2gb microsd when I get back from work.

Thanks all,

I have a few different size/format/micro SD's will have to try them out I guess.

If I can add some peace of mind from possibly scratching/scraping the screen with my finger nail on the IQ I will. Guess I'll look at some universal screen protectors.

@RezzZ sure if it isn't a problem I'd love to see that and if you could clue me on in on what you used to run those as well.
