palmOne Treo 600 Side Case w/ Belt Clip

Rating:
Summary: Stylish, sturdy, with some annoyances...
Review: I bought this case after the disappointment of using the "Form Fit Case w/ Swivel Belt Clip" for a couple of months. I like how this case sits sideways. It may seem unnatural at first, but to the contrary holding it sideways fits the contour of a belt better than if the phone were straight up-and-down. The look of the case is fantastic, with a sleek high-quality black leather. The case sometimes brushes up against the buttons when the phone is ringing, causing me talk instead of checking the caller ID first... a minor annoyance. Overall though, this is a simple stylish holder that functions well.

Summary: Decent case with drawbacks
Review: This is a decent case. The leather is nice and overall it's decent quality.

Pros:
It holds your phone pretty securely with the top fold over flap.

Cons:
- Uses a button snap to close instead of the magnetic snap that most other cases of this style use.

- It COMPLETELY covers the ringer port on the back of the phone, making it very hard to hear the phone ringing in a noisy public setting. I've already missed several calls because of this.

- The hole for the audio/hands free jack is cut out, but instead of leaving an opening from the top of the case to where the jack would be with the phone in the case, It's just a hole that's the actual size of the opening. This matters since you can't put the phone in and out of the case with headphones/headset connected.

- Phone position in the case is awkward for right handers. If the phone is on your right hand side, you must put the phone in the case with the antenna pointing behind you with the screen facing in towards you. This makes you have to flip the phone upside down in your hand as you reach to your side to put it in the case. How many times do you think you can do this before you fumble and drop it?
