Looks pretty nice and slim, but... September 22, 2004

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.
 Nice looking but doesn't fit correctly with the Z22 March 3, 2006

I bought this as the Amazon-recommended case for the Z22. The price was reasonable and it looked attractive. The only problem is that it doesn't appear to be made for the Z22. There's nothing to keep the PDA from falling out if you turn the case upside down, you can't get to the on/off switch and it's bigger than it needs to be.
I'm very happy with the Palm Z22- I just wish they had a nice leather case that was really made for it.
 Good, elegant case November 3, 2004

I use this case for a Palm Zire and I am glad I got it. The leather feels nice and looks stylish. It adds very little bulk to the PDA and has slots for MMC cards and other papers.(I keep a business card, just in case it is lost.) It holds the device quite securely. I like the tab closure for style, though it makes it slower to open and close. For this reason, I give it 4 stars instead of 5.
Not for TX Palm February 28, 2006

Bought this leather case along with a TX Palm. The description should say that it would not fit the TX model but, too late, I open and find out the hard way.
Good Case...looks great and compact. October 4, 2004

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.
