5 out of 5 stars Way exceeded expectations.   September 15, 2006

When I got my new Palm TX, I knew I wanted a hard metal case. I had one for my T3 that was really ugly and had gaping seams that were grossly misaligned. But it protected my Palm from all the drops and abuse I could give it. So after reading the other reviews on this page, I didn't expect much more than protection.

The case I got shipped to me is really well made. The seams are tight and straight, the device is held securely, the latch is secure without being inoperable, and access is available open or closed to the stylus, card, headphone jack, power and hotsync jacks. The heft, color and texture are pleasing, at least to me. I don't use the belt clip so I can't comment on its functionality. Although I bought this case as a temporary solution until I could identify something better, I don't know what would make a case better for me than this one.



5 out of 5 stars Better than the Palm case by a mile.   November 3, 2006

One would think that the makers of a PDA would have the accessories for the PDA down pat, but I wasn't impressed with the Palm case I saw in person. This case as so many advantages to the Palm case that it's hard to list, but here's the highlights:

*Palm case only comes in silver-ish and looks pretty tacky vs. this case comes in black.
*Palm case and many others are not snug with the PDA, so it will rattle (not with this case).
*The slip tab inside the case helps keep the PDA secure, so even if the case pops open, the PDA won't go flying.
*Very secure latch. (I have a bit of trouble getting the case open, but I have bad nerves in my hands.)
*Cutouts for everything (SD card, headphone jack, power button, etc.)
*The cutout area for the headphone jack is actually big enough and doesn't impede the jack.
*TWO SD card slots on the inside cover.
*Soft inside lining.
*Doesn't add too much bulk to PDA.

About the only drawback I can see with this case is that the belt clip might as well not be included and is a piece of junk, but that seems to be the case with other Palm TX cases and I wasn't planning on using it anyway.

I bought the silver version and this product is junk. It is cheaply constructed and broke the instant I attempted to place my palm TX in it. The cheap plastic slide piece that attaches the PDA to the case would break in a stiff breeze. The neoprene lining lifts off in humid weather or whenever it feels like it. The memory card slots are a joke and the shoddy belt clip is the punch line. Without a doubt, the worst online purchase I have ever made.

I have had this case for about 7 months and I am satisfied with its performance. It is well built and has protected my TX from damage. The Palm fits snugly and the case closes securely. The memory card slots are a nice touch, and the openings allow for access to all ports without opening the case.

I can't comment on the sturdiness of the belt clip. I took it off the first day, as I usually carry my Palm in my shirt pocket.

Cons: The case is very slippery so I stuck on some 3M non-skid strips to keep it from slipping out of my hand.

I also wish the front cover opened and folded over the back, rather than just over 180 degrees.

You have to watch the hinge pin, as it has a tendency to work its way out.

I consider these to be minor shortcomings and I would recommend this case.

I bought the silver version of this case and was very disapointed. The belt clip is of such cheap construction that the case would easily fall off my belt. On the bright side, it protected my Palm from breaking, but I would have preferred it not to fall in the first place. The case also had a tendency to flip open while on my belt, causing the whole thing to pivot on its flimsy clip. I don't recommend this product.
