LandWare Case for GoType Keyboards

Summary: Awkward... why not keep it simple?
Review: A small simple keyboard demands a small simple case. This is **NOT** it. The two pockets with Velcro closures should have been omitted. The whole idea of a PDA is that it can be put in a pocket where it's always handy -- and a keyboard (slim to start with) is the kind of thing that should fit into tiny crevices, much like a paperback book slides into a briefcase. The goofy pockets catch on everything, and make the case almost twice as thick. Also notice that they both face in the SAME direction. It is especially hard to put rigid items in the 'blind' pocket -- and to get them out -- unless the GoType has already been removed from the main compartment. I have thought about carefully cutting the pockets enirely off the case, but I have hesitated to do so... it seems such a drastic solution... -- This is a classic case of overdesign with inadequate forethought, and (I'm convinced) no field testing. --

Summary: Doesn't fit the product for which it was designed
Review: I have the Landware GoType keyboard for the Handspring, and I bought this case to protect the keyboard in my book bag. The case barely zips around the keyboard width-wise, and is longer than it needs to be. No matter which direction I insert the keyboard, it's a bad fit. The extra pockets are somewhat useless -- they are each designed to fit the Palm or Handspring, which is silly because why would you be carrying two PDAs at once? The extra padding designed to protect the PDA means that the compartments are smaller than they appear to be, so the most they can carry is maybe one cable or a backup module. The case is unattractive and essentially useless -- I plan to return mine.

Summary: A nice way to protect your keyboard...
Review: This case will protect only your Landware Keyboard. However, it's a bit expensive for what you really get. The quality is OK but nothing amazing at all.
