Review: If you're thinking about a Handspring case, get it now while they're on sale and have free shipping.

I've had mine for just five days, and so far it's doing a good job of protecting my Visor Deluxe -- but I do have some concerns about it too.

What I like best about the Tan Natural Calf Skin case is that it uses a slip tab closure (not snap like it says above). First of all, you don't have to press down on the Visor when you close the case, you just slide the tab in. Second, it's more attractive than Velcro. The best thing about it is that you can adjust how tight/loose the case is when closed. You can pack more papers/credit cards in the inside pocket and not worry that it will press down on your Visor screen. While it's easy to insert the tab, it's also secure.

The leather isn't soft at all. It's not great to touch (I was a little disappointed at first), but it makes the case more sturdy -- better protection for the PDA.

I am a bit worried about the plastic holder that attaches the Visor to the case. Because it's sewn under a layer of leather, it doesn't grasp the Visor as well as my original plastic cover/holder.. Lightly bouncing the case on a table can cause the Visor to separate from the holder... sometimes. It hasn't caused a real problem yet and I would think that this is an issue with all Handspring cases. (btw, the color of the plastic holder is black).

Lastly, the color on the pic above is off. The real case is a lighter tan and a bit more yellowish (less red) than what I see on my screen. It's still an attractive tan, but I prefer the picture.
