PIELFRAMA Leather Case for PALM Tungsten C ? Black

Summary: Great quality with a few inconveniences
Review: It's tough to find a good case for the Palm Tungsten C. The flip top case that comes with the Tungsten C is ok for protecting the screen from scratches, but not much more. It definitely doesn't provide any padding for accidental drops. After doing a lot of reseach on cases, the Pielframa case seemed to be a good value, and it was advertised as allowing hotsyncing with the case on. After about 3 months using it, my impressions are as follows:

The leather is of excellent quality, and it definitely has an "executive" look to it. The belt clip is quite handy, and it detaches if you don't want to use it. The case has some small pockets for business cards, SD cards, etc, which is nice. It even has a hole on the back for resetting the Tungsten. Most importantly, the case does a pretty nice job of cushioning the Tungsten. I've dropped it twice already onto concrete without any noticeable damage to the Tungsten.

There are a few problems, though. The snap closure isn't as convenient as a magnetic closure, especially since it's on the back of the case. The case itself is a little bulky and won't easily fit into a pocket. And it is near impossible to hotsync the Tungsten in the cradle with the case on, despite the opening on the bottom of the case.

Overall, the case is very nice, and I've received numerous compliments on its appearance. I don't mind taking the Tungsten out of the case to hotsync, but that might bother some people.
