PalmOne i705 Leather Belt Clip Case (Black)

Rating:
Summary: Not bad, but flawed...
Review: The Palm belt clip case for the i705 bears similarities to other Palm belt clip cases - it has a large, rigid clip on the back with no swivel mechanism. The i705 slides down into an elastic sided sleeve, holding it securely. There are four slots for memory cards in the flap and a rather tight slot behind that for cash or a credit card or two.

Palm says you can HotSync the i705 while in the case. Yes, you can, but not with a cradle - you will have to use a separate cable as the unit will not sit in a cradle while in the case.

Amazingly, there is no cutout on the sleeve for either the power button or the memory card. You can turn on power by pushing an application button, but turning it off again is much trickier.

The leather is nice and soft, and the case looks as if it will protect the unit nicely. It's also slimmer than the "slim leather case".
