Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Palm Slim Leather Case (P10985U)
Customer Review: Looks pretty nice and slim, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
I have to say, this is the first item I bought from Amazon that I have mixed feelings about. I wanted to try it out before comitting to it because, let's face it, you have to put your PDA in it to see how the whole PDA + case combination works. But PDA cases these days use those hard clear plastic packaging so that you can't get to the product without destroying the packaging, and therefore, you can't return it if you don't like it. The only reason I chanced this purchase was because I had a $5 Amazon promotional certificate to spend, so why not?
Overall the case looks handsome and slim. The PDA slips into a sleeve inside, which is held by bands of elastic on its side and bottom edges. Access to all the relevant PDA ports are problem-free. However...
The case does not close with a snap tab closure, but has a belt loop through which you must thread the belt end and pull. I found that, unless you pull the belt really tightly, your PDA (in my case, a Tungsten E) can slip out slightly about 1 cm from the top end of the case if you inverted it and shake it a little. This is a design flaw that PalmOne should address because the PDA is not completely secured in its sleeve in all directions. They could have made the elastic bands to cover the upper left-hand corner (without obstructing the SD card port) since the upper right-hand corner is where the stylus sits in the PDA. I am contemplating on adding a small velcro patch <wince> in the back to secure it if it becomes too loose, but I will hold off till the bitter end...I HATE VELCRO FOR PDA!
Also, because the closure is based on the belt-loop design, I foresee that leather loop may loosen in the future after prolonged use. I have owned this case for about two weeks so far and it is fine for now. I do admit that I avoid repetitive loosening and fastening of the belt because I think it will become too loose one day. Anyone who has longer experience with this case is welcome to comment on this.
It is an okay case given that it is relatively inexpensive, and looks pretty nice and slim. However, as for the complete security and protection of my PDA, PalmOne can do better.
