Summary: Good, not great.
Review: I bought this together with my Palm Tungsten T3. Initially, this seemed like the perfect case. I appreciated the rugged design, quality construction, compact dimensions, and excellent fit of the T3 (even with the screen extension opened).One immediate dislike was Palm's use of Velcro to keep the PDA secure. You must stick the supplied self-adhesive Velcro strip across the back of your PDA, covering the attachment point for the original suede flip-over cover. Your PDA then "sticks" to the Velcro lining inside the right side of the case. For a Palm-brand PDA going into a Palm-brand case, PalmOne should have implemented a less cheap and generic attachment method. After a weeks' use, I discovered a few more shortcomings. The case's edge partially blocks the IR port, card slot, and stylus, making it difficult (but not impossible) to use your PDA while in the case. The business/credit card holders are extremely shallow and tight, almost too tight for even a single credit card. Worst of all, if you keep an expansion card in the case's pocket for it, with the case closed, the card gets firmly pressed into your PDA's screen. This is a quality case for the price, offering good protection for your PDA. Unfortunately, it contains several design flaws.

Summary: Tungsten E covers
Review: The Tungsten E comes with a vinyl screen cover which wears out after 3 months of frequent use. Unfortunately, Palm does not make replacements available. The cases offered do not allow the Tungsten E to be placed into an hot-sync cradle for information updates for MercuryMD or Patient Keeper systems. Thus, if you a physician contemplating use of these systems, I would NOT recommend a Tungsten E even though it is otherwise a very nice PDA

Summary: Great inexpensive case
Review: This is a good, low-cost case with ample protection for your Palm. The outer shell is fairly rigid and can take some abuse. I trimmed the velcro provided slightly to allow the speaker hole on the Tungsten E to remain uncovered, and it still has enough coverage to solidly hold the Palm in place. It's a four instead of a five star for me since there is only storage for two SD cards - I have four now and I'm using one of the credit card slots for additional storage. The zipper also continues far into the covered spine of the case, and it is possible to get the zipper pull trapped in there(although one is more likely to do that out of curiosity than accident)
