Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Palm Slim Leather Case (P10985U)
Customer Review: Good Case...looks great and compact.
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually bought this item at a Target Store for $19.99. I recently bought my Tungsten E and did not get a case with it thinking I can be more careful. However, 2 weeks after I bought the Tungsten, I dropped it a fews times, luckily, on the carpet. So I had to get a case for it right away. I went to many different stores to look for one. A lot of them were VERY bulky and I hate velcro and zippers. I wanted a small case that can hold my Tungsten without having it look like I'm carrying an organizer (that is why I have a palm and not a paper organizer). You can still access all the buttons, stylus,and plug-ins. I don't have a problem with the belt loop being an issue. It seem to hold it together really well. Having pockets for the SD cards, and credit card slots doesn't hurt either.
The only bad thing is that your palm, after holding it upside down shaking it to see if it will slip out, it does sort of slide out slightly. Your palm won't fall out of the case, but it does slide out a little bit. I will have to do some alteration to that to secure it more.
Overall, I like this case. It gives it a nice compact look and I really like the belt loop closure. It's a good case for it's affortable price.
Customer Review: Love my case!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have this case for 7 months now, and it is still great. I went through 2 cases prior to this one and was so glad that this one finally worked for my Palm Zire 31. It is very slim, and looks like a wallet. I love the little slots which I have a credit card in, and my receipts when I go shopping.
I am giving it 4 stars because....
The slot that you keep the stylus in gets pretty loose over time, because it is located in the crease, and I am constantly losing the stylus. It just falls right out if the Palm is upside down. (one time I had to use an eyeliner pencil for almost a week before I found another stylus)
AND, the little loop and thread closer is a little annoying, I would like velcro better.
Another reason, which would probably not bother right handed people, I am left handed and the flap hits me in the hand when I am typing away sometimes.
Other than this, it is great, and worth every penny. I would have paid $30 for it!
Customer Review: Worthless For Palm Z 22
Summary: 1 Stars
Okay I guess for Tungsten and Zire model of Palm devices it's a decent enough looking case, I'm not happy about the fact thst Amazon steered me there when I bought my Palm Z-22, even going so far as to suggest it as a bundle. I never owned one of these things, for all I knew "Z" as in Z-22 could have stood for Zire, and that's with my clicking for more info. Now I have to go around asking my friends whether they own a Zire or Tungsten, so I can gift it back, unless one of you readers has one of these machines and would like a bargain. I have to warn you though, the plastic is sliced open and retaped, just the way it arrived even though I thought I was buying new, when I made the purchase. In fact the retape job was so poor, I was able to easilly slip the little white elephant right out and right back in again without so much as stretching the tape. Just kidding, I'll find someone who needs one I guess. Tiz the Season after, all.Customer Review: good looking case
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this product because I was having a lot of problems with my Palm Zire 31. I had to call customer service a lot and was just about ready to throw my Palm through an open window driving 70 mph. Before I did that I decided that I would buy a case to see if that would help with the problems I was having. I lloked every where for cases. Finally, I found this one.
The pros are:
it was priced right
I like the color
It is not too heavy yet still feels like it is tough enough to protect my Palm.
My Palm does not slide around in it.
The cons are:
no choice in color
no personalization option
I hate the slots for cards
Hard to charge my Palm while it is in the case.
Immpossible to leave stylus in Palm and use it while it is in case.
In short, this is an ok product, but I wish it could have been more. It does the job so yes I would recommend it.
Customer Review: Great case
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an extremely well made 100 percent leather case for a Palm Pilot. It has a good all-leather closure.
The left inside panel has pockets for papers, business cards or credit cards and the interior spine includes a pocket for the stylus.
However, the item doesn't really fit the Palm Z22 with which Amazon sold it. The Palm pocket is a little loose, as another reviewer noted, and the power button is covered by the pocket's leather side. You have to reach in under it to turn the device on and off.
For the TX, to which I upgraded in 2009, it is slightly too small; the leather frame blocks a hair from the top of the TX screen.
Still, for the money, this was a great deal. And since my Palm is usually in a purse anyway, the leather case serves mostly as a protection from other items, not as a loss-prevention cradle.
