Summary: Finally, THE case for my Palm
Review: I have gone through several cases designed for Palms, from a snug-fitting neoprene case to a large Coach case that held a dozen credit cards and a note pad. This case, however, is the perfect one for me.The leather is high quality with a tough (hard at first) finish. As you use the case for a few weeks, however, the surface softens a bit. It is great for business use, but if you are hard on your cases, a nylon or metal one might be a better choice. Inside, the storage is very handy, and designed specifically for a 505 and SD/MMC cards, so the space is very efficiently laid out. I can fit two credit cards in the slots and two in the clear pocket for a total of three credit cards and my driver's license. There is also a hidden slash pocket for cash. I took the advice of another reviewer and left the note pad out of my case. It is tiny - smaller than a normal PostIt note - and adds to the bulk of the case. Since the M505 has the notepad function, I figured the paper was redundant anyway. One reviewer noted that he was expecting a metal zipper, based upon the photograph of the case. The only difference in the picture and the production unit is the metal zipper pull. The production unit has a leather sewn pull. The nylon zipper is actually preferable as a metal zipper could scratch the Palm unit and would most likely be less reliable over time. The only minor annoyance I found with the case is that the plastic rail that connects the unit to the case is very snug once inserted. To remove the unit for HotSync/charge takes a bit of effort. Be careful of your fingernails. Once Palm actually delivers a travel HotSync cable and travel charger (whomever was in charge of bringing Palm's accessory hardware to market should be sacked) this will not be a problem as you won't need to remove the unit at all. This issue aside, this is the best case so far for a 505 if size and utility are an issue.

Summary: Great Multi-functional Case!
Review: I was debating between this and the Palm Slim Leather case, but I chose the Palm Leather Wallet Case since I wanted to avoid the hassle of bringing my pda and wallet separately. I don't regret the investment at all! First and foremost, the pda fits snugly in the case using the left-rail. Some reviewers have mentioned that their pdas have fallen out of the case, but this hasn't happened to me. The case also has many an assortment of compartments you can use to organize your things, though I had to be selective in the items I transferred from my real wallet to this one. It couldn't fit everything, such as pictures and other minor membership cards, but it ably handled the necessecities. In the end, this case with the pda and all the other items inside it become rather bulky compared to the Slim Leather Case or the Hard Case, but considering the function, it's well worth it. Of course, this won't do for guys who plan on placing the "wallet" in their back pocket, but girls will find it just right for their purses.

Summary: Best hands-free way to carry around the Palm m50X
Review: There are a lot of people at work with PDAs, and they all carry them around in some kind of portfolio-style case. This was not acceptable to me--I wanted a hands-free way of keeping my Palm m505 with me. This case is the answer. The black leather is stylish and durable. And this case is low profile--I bought the m505 partly because it's so small, and I wanted a case that's small too. The Palm fits real snugly into this case, and the case is narrow so that you're not always banging it into things as you walk around. The only complaint that kept me from giving it five stars are that I wish Palm built some compartments into the flap cover of the case for carrying extra memory cards. But that's being nit-picky. This is the best way I've seen of keeping your Palm at your side without having to carry it around with your hands.

Summary: Great case!
Review: This is -the- case for the m50x series. Not only does it have plenty of space and slots for SD cards, credit cards, and ID cards, but it has a zippered closure that protects the Palm from lint and dust. Your screen will be less likely to be scratched. It also contains a tiny notepad that attaches to a leather flap. A nice touch, but I would recommend that you just discard the notepad and use the plain leather flap as a buffer between the Palm and the SD and credit cards. You lose a bit of functionality with the loss of the paper, but you gain tons of additional screen protection. When most wallet style cases are closed, the edges of your credit cards are pushed up against the screen. This is bad. This case actually provides the much needed added protection with that leather flap. The Palm is held in by a slide-rail, this allows the Palm to connect to the cradle while still in the case. It is somewhat ackward, but less ackward than taking it out of a case. And to top it off the case is a nice quality leather. If you have a m50x, get this case!

Summary: Impractical
Review: This just didn't work out for me. First, the on/off button kept getting hit while in my travel bag, leaving me with no Palm on one trip and virtually no power left on another. On top of that, blank notes kept being left due to this issue. The leather flap is constantly in the way when you try and enter something. I gave up and bought the hard case as a replacement. It's smaller and much sturdier so shouldn't have any of the above problems. Plus it opens up all the way for easy use.
