Summary: A Bit Bulky, But Nice
Review: I bought the Franklin Covey Palm V Black Leather Zip Case from a Franklin Covey store about three months ago. Here is what I have found to be the stregnths and weaknesses of the case: Shrengths: The case fully zips and offers great protection from weather and dirt. The case has a great deal of padding, which protect in the event of drops. In my opinion, I believe this case would protect against drops better than hard cases, as long as it is closed. The shape and anchor of the case fit very well. The leather has a nice feel. The case is well crafted so the buttons do not easily get accidentally pressed when the unit is closed. Weaknesses: The leather and padding add signifigantly to the size of the unit. It is no longer easy to slip in my pocket. I also worry about the screen protection (for packing or sitting on the unit). The case is stiff, but flexable. One final weakness is that the inside of the front cover has a pocket that begins about an inch from the top of the cover. The edge of this double layer of leather rubs my screen. Because I use a screen protector, it just rubs out the texture of the screen protector forming a smooth line. Not a big deal, but I thought I would mention it. The case looks nice and is a good case in terms of drop and general protection, but it adds bulk. The case and Palm end up being about 5.125" x 3.75" x .85"
