turn off a Windows Mobile device without on-off button?

Looking into a case for the Juno ST, and the Otterbox I'm considering has the problem of hiding the on/off switch.  The On part should not be a problem, because the buttons on the face of the Juno can be assigned to programs & will start the Juno back up after it is turned "off".

However, if someone doesn't want to wait for the auto-off, I am wondering if anyone has a good solution for switching off the PDA using either one of those buttons or from the "Start" menu.

Any suggestions appreciated,
Rosie

Hi Rosie,

I run a task manager program on the Trimble PDA called tMan (Version 0.9.9), which provides an option to turn the unit off at the home menu.  It has many of the useful options similar to the switcher bar that came with previous versions of Pocket PC.

Hope this helps,

Chris
