Customer Reviews
Great case, has slots for media cards but... 
2008-02-02
I've had this case for close to a year now and had no problems with it up until 2 months ago when I noticed one of the plastic hinges that attaches the Palm to the case snapped off, the remaining intact hinge has held up for about 2 months so far. The clasp has been fine and holds the case firmly shut, great access to all buttons and slots. I would have given it 5 stars but the hinge broke.
Difficult to open.

Looks great and very sturdy, unfortunately is not very easy to pry open. If you need to open it constantly during the day, not a smooth process.
Solid protection 
2008-01-27
The Palm fits into the cover securely and perfectly. The cover snaps closed a bit stiffly at first but after a week clicks shut easily and securely. Light slim solid case that takes a dropping well. Front cover has clearance so Palm's screen is not impacted at all. Two slots in front cover hold standard SD cards. Looks like there is enough clearance so cards will not press onto Palm's screen but I haven't tested that. Recessed access to top and bottom connection points on the Palm provide protection without ever having to take the Palm out of the case. It's very functional.
Palm TX case 2008-01-25
Nice case but hinge is weak, breaks eaisly. I really like the case otherwise. There is open areas for the plug in. It is much better then the palm brand.
case closed NOT! 
2008-01-16
Okay so I guess I didn't read the 1 or 2 reviews that said the case doesn't close shut.It clicks shut then flips open. Anyway I will return what is essentially a pointless product now. Very disappointed.
Seems the build quality is inconsistent as most reviews said it shut fine but 1 or 2 did report this problem
safe palm 2008-07-23
I've used this case for over a year now. I carry my palm all the time in my jeans pocket, it goes everywhere with me. I've even dropped it a few times.
The catch that holds it closed works well, not hard to open (though with two hands). If I stick too many receipts in the back of the case the catch won't catch.
Possible downside? The hinge opens along the long side like a book, so if you use it oriented that way the case kinda gets in the way. If you use it turned the other way (my preference) the case sits nicely in my hand for writing-awesome.
Never used the belt clip, I've had terrible luck with those things no matter what they're attached to (phone, ipod, whatever..)
Great protective armor case, better than the original case. 2008-06-20
I think that it simply does what the manufacturer says it does, which is to protect the Palm, and in my case I've found that it is so. I use my Palm in my pants pockets, and I like the fact that it does not get scratches at all, like the Palm original aluminum case. It does not rattle the Palm because it fits snuggly, unlike the original case. It has a back opening for the tiny speaker, so I think you can hear alarms louder. I've used mine for a month and I haven't have any problem with the plastic hinges that others described. It is somewhat difficult to open, though, that's why I give it 4 stars. You can charge and synch the Palm without open this case, unlike the original one. I do recommend it.
so-so 2008-02-29
My TX fit well and is well protected, but-
The slide-groove holder is made of grossly inadequate thin brittle plastic and it broke off right away, so the TX may fall out.
and
The hinge-pin starts to work its way out and I have to push it back in every few days
Went through my snowblower. 2008-02-25
This story tops them all. I have dropped my Palm TX over and over with the Palm TX case. It's kind of banged up. The belt clip is kind of worn out. The springing thing won't hold it very well any more. The other day I got home from work and it was almost dark so I had to hurry and do some snowblowing. I heard a bump sound and didn't realize my Palm fell off the belt clip. I ran over it with my snowblower and it came out the shoot and hit the wall. I didn't realize it until I dug it out of the snow two days later. The TX was gaping open and the stylus was broken in half. I snapped it closed and the TX still works fine! Just had to get a new stylus. Weird, because my first TX died on me with no bumping around and I got this replacement one under warranty.

Bought two of these and it always breaks in the same place after several months of use, if not sooner. Other reviewers have had the same experience. The problem lies with the plastic slide where you attach your Palm. It is flimsy and not detailed properly re. interface with the metal case itself. It invariably breaks after several openings/closings, if not before. I had a Rhino case before on another Palm and it looks as if I will have to try that or a leather one again.
