Summary: Had it over a year and still love it!
Review: I've been protecting my 5x with this case over a year and have absolutely zero complaints. Numerous reviewers have referred to a perceived "design flaw" based on the fact that they are having difficulty placing the unit while contained by the case in their charging cradle. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I never considered charging while in the case to be an intended design feature. Granted, I no longer have the box or literature that came with the case, and don't remember if that was an advertised feature, but I've always taken my PDA out of the case prior to placing it in the cradle. I've never found that to be an inconvenience. It's at most a two step process. As far as the hinges go, I've not only dropped it numerous times, but I typically carry it in my back pocket and sit on it without a problem. The hinges function without a problem. And a lot can be said for a product that can protect a Palm 5x with a 250 pound man sitting on it.

Summary: Slim and effective
Review: When I bought my Palm a couple of weeks back, I figured I couldn't just live with the cheap cover that came with it. I wanted something that would protect my cherished investment. When I saw that Palm offered the blue hard case, I had to get it.The blue case is stylish, durable, and slim. The item is made from a hard plastic with two blue anodized metal plates placed on the front and back. A plastic pin holds the Palm in place. You have to be careful, though. If you monkey around with it too much, it might break. If you're careful, it will last for a long time, just don't be too rough slipping it on and off. If I was going to stop here, I would've given this item 4 stars. Here's why I'm giving this item 5 stars. I've dropped my Palm accidentally twice. Both times the Palm landed flush against a hard surface (A wood floor and concrete). Both times, my Palm was unscathed and worked perfectly thanks to the hard case. It's already paid for itself. I only feel bad now because I spend $40 on it, instead of waiting for Amazon to offer it for less than $30. It's well worth the investment.
