Rating: Summary: Great case, poor quality Review: This case is really slim and protects my Palm well. I keep it in my purse, so I needed something to protect it from getting banged around.The case somewhat blocks the on/off button and the hot sync connector, but it is a simple thing to work around. My big gripe is that after 4 months of use, the top hinge connector went wacky (it used to spring in and out, and now it just falls in and out) and the case now falls apart when I open it. I have not dropped it, so I'm not sure why it broke (another reader suggested that dropping it might be the cause). I love this case, but I'm not going to buy another one to replace it -- too expensive to replace every 4 months. I'm going to try a slim leather case instead.
Rating: Summary: Aluminum? I think not! Review: This is not an aluminum case, it's cheap plastic. Also, it doesn't pop open easily, and the slick cover makes it drop prone while trying to open it. I bought it, and am very dissapointed. It sure will be nice when some quality cases show up on the market for the Tungsten-e!
Rating: Summary: Protects well, but latches broke. Review: This protection is excellent for taking care of your Tungsten E. My palm does not fall out of the case ever, and I don't find that turning it on, hot syncing it, or powering it is a problem. For the hotsync, you just open the case and plug the sync into the bottom of the unit. With this case, I am able to keep my palm in my back pocket and even to sit on it without any problem whatsover. I have dropped it several times with no consequence.
Unfortunately, 3 weeks after I bought it, the latch on the side broke, so the case does not stay shut. I either use a rubber band to keep it shut, or just keep it in my pocket. It's still good, but not perfect.
Rating: Summary: Terrible Design Review: To access the stylus, mini-usb port, charger port, SD slot, IR sensor and headphone jack you have to pull it out of the case. Even the power button is not accessible unless you have long nails! You have to put the PDA in a very bad position while charging or doing a hot-sync which I believe might even damage the ports on the device. It's impossible to listen to music while your PDA is in it. I strongly recommend InnoPocket or Rhinoskin cases for Tungsten E instead of this thing. Mine didn't come with a foam and yes it rattles inside the case. It's not an issue for me, though. The lock is very weak and I believe it will open if it falls down. If you want real protection, Palm Tough case is much better than this one, but it's bulky and not fancy. I got it for free bundled with a Tungsten E. I can't imagine someone pay for it, unless you buy it online and not know what exactly it is. Really not worth the money.
Rating: Summary: Great! Review: When I bought my Tungsten E I also bough this hard case and it has been great. It's metal on the outside and protects my palm, very easy to open and it can carry to additional memory modules inside. I'd say this was a great buy.
Rating: Summary: it crashed my tungsten e Review: When I first get this I thought "this is what I need", but then it hit me that this item didn't have a clip to secure it on my belt or pants, so I had to wear it on my shirt pocket but it kept falling (fortunately the PDA didn't break because of the case), so I had to put it in my pants back pocket. After wearing it many times, once I sat and apparently the LCD screen pressed the expansion card clips and the screen broke so my palm is now useless. I'm very dissapointed and I strongly reccomend to bear this in mind when buying it
Rating: Summary: Sucks, falls apart. Review: When you look at the pic, your think solid titanium. Try slightly hardened plastic. I have had this case for a little more than a month and it is falling apart. The hinge keeps detaching and can't be fixed. Screws become dislodged and will forever remain squeeky. I am afraid to open it for fear and screw may come out and I will lose it permanently. The plastic bends and dents easily. Once I dropped the case and it popped open and the SD Card popped out onto the floor. It is lucky I got this for free with my Tungsten E or I would be severely mad at spending $40 in a store. The price on this site is better and more reflects the value of the case. Should be a little lower still! :-(
Rating: Summary: Must have for a Palm E Review: You have to get this case, if you have a Palm E. If not for this, I would have another ruined PDA. Also good for use with Jeans and other tight fit clothing.
