Rating: Summary: Safety is always important Review: A while back now I purchased a Visor Deluxe. I was extremely happy with it...except for the flimsy nearly useless case it came with...so I decided to check out other options. Low and behold, Amazon.com had this spicy little number (ok...so it isn't spicy at all) for an extremely reasonable price. Low price and zipper access (as in, being able to open the case with a zipper...ahem) were my two major criteria for purchasing a case. This has both. I am very pleased with it and even found the little battery/pen holders to be useful. I can almost use it as a wallet...but after consolidating as much as possible it still isn't quite big enough. So bottom line: excellent at protecting your PDA without taking a chunk outta your wallet BUT not a substitute for said wallet.
Rating: Summary: A product worth 6 Stars! Review: Chances are, if you are reading this review, you are looking to see if this is the case for your PDA. I say it is! I have a Palm Zire Handheld, and was worried that the [EXTREMELY] flimsy plastic flip top would not protect the screen from scratches. I shopped for a good case that was small, had a wallet, inexpensive, and would protect my Zire. This is great on all counts! I got it on sale here on Amazon.com for about ten dollars.
This case has: All leather construction A couple of elastic loops for batteries (which I use for a pen, since my Zire is rechargeable) Velcro to hold your PDA in place Pockets for cash, credit cards, buisness cards, memory cards, etc. (One large and two small) Zipper Closure
On the box it came in, it shows a list of PDAs that it will most definitely fit (and any other one that you may have will most likely fit). Here is what is guaranteed to fit: Palm Zire Palm Zire 21 Palm Zire 71 Palm Tungsten C Sony NX series Sony TG50 Visor Platinum IPaq h1900 Series IPaq h3900 Series IPaq h5400 Series Toshiba e750 Dell Axium ViewSonic V35 My favorite part? The ease of getting to the charger. My Zire has the charger cable and Mini USB ports on top, so I just move the zipper a little and plug it in!
I hope this helps you!

Rating: Summary: Good value, but has some flaws Review: First of all, let me say that the price for this case is unbeatable. It's low enough to not feel that the case needs to be coddled (thereby needing to protect the PDA's protection!?!) and yet you still get a nice-feeling leather case with a great zipper enclosure. However, I did run into the problem of it draining the batteries of my Handspring Visor Deluxe unless I leave the plastic cover on while in the case. This cover can be irritating when using the PDA, so I often leave it at home. This is big mistake with this case if you don't want to drain your batteries, though. The velcro attachment is also a little less elegant than other attachments I've seen (i.e. the Handspring cases). In short, this is a great case/wallet for the money. However, it's a little tight and can drain your batteries mighty quick.
Rating: Summary: Looks good but does it work? Review: For the most part I love my Sumdex Wallet. It hold my Palm IIIxe perfectly, I use the spare battery holder for my stylus which fits ok, and it has just enough room to hold a few business cards and a little cash. Here is the draw back... my batteries keep going dead! I am not sure if I should blame this problem on Palm or Sumdex but the power button seems to get bumped somehow when in the case and I am going through batteries like crazy. I think I am going to try another style of case and see if this resolves my problem. Too bad though, I really liked this case.
Rating: Summary: It is great case for IPAQ Review: I am an engineering student. which means no buget to spend the delux case for ipaq. However i need it.I spent much time to look for the right case for my lovely ipaq. ) 2. Protect (it must be OK, if i drop it 5 feet above the floor) 3. Fit for CF sleev case.

Rating: Summary: Terrific case! Can't beat the price! Review: I bought my first PDA, a Sony Clie S360, about a month and a half ago. When I started using it and carrying it everywhere with me, I figured I'd need a case to protect it. At first, I wasn't quite sure what kind of case I wanted but I knew I would want something that enclosed my PDA completely and protect it from the bumps and dings of daily life. I was also looking for something reasonably priced. I don't do a lot of sports/outdoors activities so I wasn't looking for a sport case. There aren't a lot of accessories for the S360 to begin with. I looked everywhere online and at major retailers but didn't find anything I liked. Similar cases at other stores cost several times more. Then I happened upon the Sumdex case here. The pictures really helped and the price was good, so I thought I'd get one and see how it goes. When I opened my package, I was really surprised at how good the quality is. The case is made of smooth, slightly textured black leather and there wasn't a single out-of-place stitch anywhere. The corners are nicely rounded and the leather is lightly padded. The pockets are great for keeping loose pieces of paper. I don't need the elastic bands to hold batteries, but they are small enough to hold an extra stylus and keep it in place. And even with the stylus in the silo, I can get it out easily. The case also has stiff inserts in the front and back so it keeps its shape. It also has enough room to fit my PDA with the flip cover on. It's a snug, but not-tight fit. The case is just a little bigger than the PDA itself, giving the zipper room to move comfortably. However, it doesn't add much bulk to the PDA. The velcro piece that sticks to the PDA is small enough that it doesn't cover up the reset button or the serial number, but is still very strong and keeps the PDA securely attached. I've been using this case for a few weeks now and it's held up very well.
Rating: Summary: Protection rather than accessibility. Review: I bought my Sumdex for my iPAQ h2215. It actually is a little larger than my iPAQ needs it to be. The quality of the product is good, nice feel to the leather, zip works well and doesn't catch at all. However, the belt loop is rather impractical as once you've velcro-ed your PDA or Palm to the inside of the case, you can't remove it easily if you attach it to your belt. The velcro loop does pull off, however, this worried me as it makes it easier for someone to snatch (and that's a lot of money to be carrying around my waist). Inside the Sumdex, the spare battery loops are not needed for the iPAQ, so I use the loops to hold my pen, or you could use it for a stylus. Once the iPAQ is attached to the inside of the Sumdex, it's a little difficult to extract the stylus, so the loops could prove useful. The credit card holder is pretty useless as it holds so few cards. I've replaced it with another holder that takes more cards. However, the end result is the Sumdex is pretty bulky; a good inch and a half in width. The Sumdex is great if you like to carry it in your hand or pop it into another bag/briefcase or large pocket. But if you bought your PDA/Palm for your pocket, this isn't the case for you. Overall, I like it as I tend to drop things out of my shirt/coat pockets (my cell phone will testify to this!). So for me, the Sumdex offers good protection and doubles as a useful pen and credit/business card holder (and let's face it, you always need more credit card space!).
