great service and product

needed a new case to protect my Palm T5. Ordered a replacement and it looks like brand new. Excellent service and product.

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.
Junky case for Palm

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.
Ehh, not bad but not good

Aesthetically pleasing case. Seems quite rugged for the several months I've owned it. Not an exact fit for the TX (even though this case is supposed to work with TX and T5's per Palm) so it can rattle around inside if you don't take up the room with something. I used the foam cupboard liners. Really needs a cut out or for the seam to be re-aligned on the bottom so you can hook up your data/power connection while the unit is in the case. Otherwise you need to prop the palm upwards to prevent stress on the connection.

Does not hold up well. Unable to close properly after less than 4 months of use. Consider something else.

This sleek aluminum case totally surrounds your Palm T/X and Tungsten T5 handheld and keeps it secure. The smooth lining includes 2 pockets to store expansion cards. This case also provides a metal exterior, a smooth interior lining, and a secure attachment mechanism.
poor quality

I bought my first case and had the latch break in less than 1 month (with very little use -- I am very gentle with my pda, and I had heard that this latch was easily broken, so I actually try to close the latch whenever possible!). I could not stand not being able to close the case when the latch broke, and I was silly enough to buy a second case. This latch lasted me 3 months, and snapped off today. I bought the aluminum case for the protection that it offers, but I have never seen a case with its latch be able to last. I think you're ultimately better off with a leather case, because this case is no good for protection once it cannot latch any longer.
THIS PRODUCT SUCKS

I've had this darn thing for less than three months, and the latch broke yesterday. I'm not hard on it at all (in fact, it was simply sitting on a shelf for one whole month due to a break in classes!).
This is a worthless piece of junk.
Don't waste your money.

Marginally better than dropping your PDA on the floor, I guess. But only marginally - the Palm rattles around so badly that any major bump will damage it anyway. The latch is easily broken (mine took about 5 weeks to go) and can easily fall open anyway, and there is no access to any of the ports, so if you want to put this in your pocket and listen to music, you're out of luck.
This is an appallingly bad design, and I wouldn't use one if it came for free (which mine did).
How do you open it?

So far, I'm not too happy with it!I just got my hard case and as sad as this is, I can't figure out how to open it! Help!
