Summary: Still not the perfect case, but close¿
Review: As a dedicated Palm IIIxe power user, I've devoted as much time to finding the perfect carrying case as I have installing third-party software. This is one of the better ones I've used so far, but still not yet "the perfect case." The leather cover wears well and is smooth for seamless putting in/taking out of your pocket. The full zipper closure protects your Palm, your business cards or paper notes, and prevents your stylus from getting lost if it pops out of your Palm. I do agree with previous reviewers--make this a fraction of an inch larger. I don't use the front flip cover on my Palm, but I know that many people do, and it should be considered into the computations when designing a case. Another flaw that makes this not-quite-perfect is the misplaced Velcro that can pull off your battery cover if you're not careful. You can install your own Velcro if you want--but why should you have to? When will some enterprising case manufacturer come up with a clever-clever design that will hold your Palm secure and safe in a case, yet doesn't involve smacking a great big piece of fuzzy fabric on the back? There's a mint to be made out there for someone who does!

Summary: Good case & good deal
Review: Good case, with necessary pockets for storing credit cards and other important stuff. The exterior is not so smooth that it will get cut by anything but also not too rough. My Palm IIIxe fits in very comfortably. The velcro for sticking the Palm is at the top so it does not affect the battery cover... ... price is cheaper than any other online store that I could find.

The only drawback is that when you have to HotSync Palm then you need to remove the PDA from its velcro. But then I can't think of any other case that allows one to do an HotSync with the PDA in the case.

Summary: Nice look and feel, but has it's flaws...
Review: I really like the quaility leather used to make this case. It looks and feels great, but I have to agree with previous reviewers that the velcro holding the Palm in place can pull off the battery cover and cause the whole thing to fall out of it's case. This happened almost half the time I opened it to use it. Needless to say, it sits in my desk drawer now. It's unfortunate because other than that one design flaw, the case is made very well.

One other thing to consider is that with the leather case on, you can't slip the Palm in your shirt pocket, which can be very convenient.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good choice for occassional user
Review: Just fits the palm IIIxe with the hard cover on it. Even it takes some effort to take the palm out safely, but overall this is a nice case. Much better than the slim case in terms of protection. Also, there is space for an extra stylus. I believe the only case that is better than this one is the Titanium one.

Summary: Great bag for a palm IIIxe
Review: Pouch made of good quality has a good blue richness color and zipper is made of quality.

Summary: Good Case for the Palm
Review: The Zippedred Leather Case for the Palm III series is very good. You just have to "break it in". When you first put your Palm into it, it dosn't cute fit, and you'll have to remove to front cover. And who want's to remove the front cover. But use it and use it, and eventually the there is room for the front cover.

The case is as I mention good, but why in the world haven't Palm made it just halv a centimeter bigger?.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great for IIIx!
Review: This case is great for the IIIx. Unfortunately, it only works for the IIIc if you remove the flip cover. I don't go anywhere without the flip cover, so I switched to a different brand of case.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this cover!
Review: This cover is the best! I had searched for the longest time for a nice cover for my Palm IIIx only to find really overpriced cheap looking ones. But this one is made really nicely and even has slots for some cards and another pocket for other small items. When I read the reviews for it I was concerned that they might still be making it with the velcro attachment near the battery door, but when I received it, the velcro attachment was on the upper half which is nowhere near the battery door. I don't think it's very bulky at all- it's the same size as my wallet. Overall, I am very happy with this cover.
