Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very poor design
Review: The design of this case is nothing short of terrible. As all other reviewers have noted - and as all other users have no doubt experienced - the case does not securely hold the T3 and it allows the unit to slide from the case and onto the carpet - or cement - or car floor. In short, it is a piece of useless junk that an interested user should walk away from quickly.

Other design faults - such as the nearly impossible way in which you must slide open the T3 to access the graffiti area - are merely irritants when compared to the fact that the case fails to fulfill its main function (that is to protect the T3).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I wish you had a "zero star" category
Review: This case has been discussed at great length over on the user forum on the PalmOne website. It all boils down to one thing: the case does NOT protect your T3. In fact, it won't hold it in at all. You can try to bend up the springs a bit, but this doesn't solve the problem entirely and eventually the springs will break. I'm really surprised that this got by their quality assurance testing.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Hard Case NOT Hard to Resist
Review: This case is very poorly designed, and I am highly disappointed with it. It does not securely fasten the palm inside, so it is always falling out in my pocket or my purse. The actual face of the PDA is covered, but the button to the microphone on the side is exposed, as is the on/off switch and all the beaming mechanisms at the top. They end up getting pressed and scratched and debris can get down into the area where the memory card slips in. No protection whatsoever! The case has a flimsy and cheap feel to it. It is not the quality product I expect from Palm.

Summary: Waste of money
Review: This case was a complete waste of money. Each time I tried to expand my Tungsten, it would fall out of the case. No amount of adjusting the springs helped the situation. Giving this thing one star was totally overrating it but zero or a minus number wasn't an option. Don't waste your money!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not so tough!
Review: This hard case for the new Tungsten T3 is not as tough as it looks! Yes it is sleek and attractive, and it will protect your Palm from inadvertant key strokes, scratches and light wear and tear. It has two downsides: 1) despite little latches to hold the Palm in place inside the cover, the pda pops loose rather too readily. I generally carry my pda in its case inside a purse, briefcase or tote; as a result of normal jostling of these items, I often open the hard case to find the Palm "floating loose" inside. This has forced me to make some rather atheletic "saves" as I open the case and the Palm starts to slide out and fall. 2)The case itself doesn't have a secure closing. I discovered this when it fell from my desk, popped open and I watched my pda slide across the carpet (thank goodness it wasn't asphalt!)So this case gets high marks for style but low for substance. Let me know when Palm comes out with a case that will afford real protection.
