Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of BoxWave Palm TX Armor Case - The Metal Case, Heavy Duty Protective Case (Metallic Silver)Customer Review: Okay case for the Palm TX Summary: 3 Stars
This is a fairly solidly built and reasonably protective case for the Palm TX (I didn't try it with a Palm T5, but they are supposed to be practically identical in size/shape.) It has appropriate cutouts for all the important connectors and buttons, as well as the speaker.
This case is nearly identical to the Saunders-made "PalmOne TX/T5" case (Palmone Tungsten TX/T5) -- right down to the backwards SD card slots -- with a few minor differences.
1) The latch to open/close the case is slightly different. I actually think the latch on this case is easier to open, especially one-handed -- but it's also more likely to be knocked open while rattling around in a bag, since it sticks out more.
2) The backside, inexplicably, has four metal "feet" in the corners. I guess this would help it to stay more flat when laid on a table, but it also makes it more likely to scratch surfaces.
3) The belt clip with this one seems crappier. Neither case is one I would recommend for extensive on-the-hip usage, though.
4) The finish isn't quite as nice, and the hinge seems maybe a little more fragile. On the other hand, this case does come in black as well, while the other one is only in silver.
5) The cutouts are simpler on this case, and maybe a tad less protective on the top of the PDA.
6) The Saunders model comes with a free StuffBak recovery label (they offer a small cash reward for return of the item, and you can post an additional one. Two years of service are included free with their case, and after that they charge you something like $25 if your item is lost and returned to them.)
Ultimately, I went with the Saunders case. However, if you want a T5/TX case with a black finish, this is probably the best choice available.
