Junky case for Palm [Posted on 2007-05-13]
My Palm TX did not fit well inside this case, it rattled around. A LOT! There is no cushion supplied inside the aluminum case. I ended up taping a pice of bubble mailer to the inside of the case to keep my device cushioned and still. This helped a lot. I had the case for a few weeks when I dropped it (while open no less!!). I must admit the Palm T|X survived the fall, I attribute this to the bubble mailer inside the back of the case! However the case itself bit the dust. The cheap plastic strip that slides ito the groove on the Palm device to hold the Palm inside the case, well it broke clean off upon being dropped.
Also there are NO speaker holes, if you want to hear alarms you better have the case open. No access for charging while case is closed, no access to SD slot without lifting Palm device from case. All in all a poor case for your T|X or any of the T series Palms.
The rest of the story [Posted on 2007-06-02]
I thought, for the price, this would be a metal case. It's plastic but so far it's working ok. I am hoping that the clip that holds the Palm in the case lasts. It is made of plastic too.
I like the SD card holders.
It took me a week or so to realize that the case can be locked shut. I kept a rubber band around it until I sat on it one day and heard a click. Turns out you have to apply pressure on the case to lock it shut. This isn't real obvious and there is no documentation showing this.
Anyway, it works and I'm fairly happy with it. Shipping was prompt and I was kept up to date on things.
great service and product [Posted on 2007-10-19]
needed a new case to protect my Palm T5. Ordered a replacement and it looks like brand new. Excellent service and product.
Good, but not Great. [Posted on 2008-07-24]
Okay it is just a case, but I have a few issues with it. For one, it isn't padded on the inside, and my palm kind of rattles around. For another, it is very, I emphasize very, bulky to carry in your pocket, and there is no belt clip.
Overall I like the case, but palm could seriously improve it. If you want protection, buy it. If you want functionality, buy the rhino skin.
Trash! [Posted on 2008-09-08]
This thing is junk! Don't get it.
Normally I'm not a naysayer, but this is too much. I only used it for a month or so, and had nothing but problems.
The TX *and* T5 do not fit properly, they rattle badly and could get damaged. I had to put my own padding inside because of this.
The outside 'metal' has got to be plastic. After a week of very light usage, it looks like trash. Scratches and ugly gorges, and I hardly even used it.
After using it about a month, the plastic latch broke right off. Now it won't even stay shut.
I advise you to look elsewhere. This thing is no good!
