Summary: This case is stanky
Review: Just to concur with the other review. This case does indeed stink. The fancy plastic that they used to form the case has a very strong odor for some reason. Other than the stench it is an excellent case. I can't begin to understand why Palm released a product that smells bad.

Summary: Avoid at all costs - disgusting smell
Review: Nice idea. Horrible execution - I mean horrible smell. This case is going back to the place of purchase first chance I get. DO NOT BUY THIS THING.

Summary: Odor-free - unfortunately, also exterior pocket-free.
Review: Okay, so not entirely odorless. There was certainly an odd plastic or latex type smell upon first opening the package, but it dissipated within hours and all I was left with was a slim carrying case that fit the Zire perfectly - not too tight, as others have reported. My only criticism is that there is a belt loop on the back where I think a small pocket for ID and money or a credit card should go. I mean, who puts their PDA on their belt? At any rate, a great case for the money. I'm satisfied.

Summary: Palm Zire case has bad odor
Review: The case has a very offensive odor that you cannot detect until it is out of the package. Palm should recall this item.

Summary: A sad case
Review: The comment from freedom4u is no exaggeration. The fit is extremely tight, esp. when you first put the Zire in the case. My Zire developed "creaks" after going in and out of this case a few times--when I pressed the power button or grasped the Zire to plug in the hot-sync cable, the plastic case would give a bit in various spots--there was no longer a solid feel to it. I ended up getting a replacement Zire.A much better solution is a simple zippered case. If you don't like the idea of putting velcro patches on the Zire itself (I don't), just wrap it in an optical cleaning cloth to keep it from getting scratched from hitting against the zipper.

Summary: This case stinks!
Review: The material of this case exhibits a very strong smell. I own this case for two weeks and it still smells bad. Unfortunately, you don't notice this while it's in the wrapping. Have it unwrapped for you and check it out before you buy it.

Summary: Zipper Universal Case is Better
Review: The universal case that zips and opens flap up is better and it looks more professional. The case inlcudes 2 velcro pieces to velcro to the inside of the case. It's padded and much easier to open and use considering we were only given to hands and we have write with one of them. With the mail in rebate we got the case free when we bought the Zire.

Summary: Nice case; nice color
Review: This case form fits the Zire and has a strong belt tab as well. Very nice. My case had no stench at all. The case appears to be of a rubbery material and not plastic as stated in other reviews. Overall, you won't go wrong for the price.

Summary: Nice Case
Review: This case is very nice. It does have a "smell" to it at first but it fades with time. I like the size & shape & can't see haveing the palm/zire without the case.
