Case Logic Palm V Leather Case

Summary: It has basic feautures.
Review: For years and years, my PAA of choice was the Week-At-A-Glance. Then my dear sister gave me a nice, 6-ring leather case with a bunch of pockets and a very convenient leather-bound snap clasp for holding it closed. A quick flick of the wrist, and the thing was open; a quick thumb movement, and it was latched closed.

In late 1997, the PalmPilot changed all that. My paper-based appointment book became a bulky carryaround, useful only for holding business cards, pens, and more paper. In addition, the idea of storing my PalmPilot in the old binder would defeat the PDA-in-the-pocket convenience factor.

Now it's time for a new and more powerful Palm. And perhaps a case. There are many available, each with its key strength. But, of the lot, Case Logic's leather case is most impressive.

I like Case Logic; their cases hold some of my cassettes, CDs, an automobile power adaptor and whatnot. Very forward-thinking company, with timely solutions for emerging "personal storage" needs, always a step ahead of more traditional vendors.

Almost. On their Palm V leather case, Case Logic apparently decided to snuggle into tradition. What on earth were they thinking by using a turn-of-the- 19th-Century-I-need-two-hands-to-do-this leather hook-through-loop closure?? Looks no better than a snap clasp, and takes longer to use. Just like Palm's case.

PDAs are about speed, efficiency and convenience; a PDA case design which doesn't wholeheartedly support that concept is ilLogical. Big "Oops" for Case Logic.

Summary: It has basic feautures.
Review: I think it is alright. It has its basic features such as folds for credit cards, identification, etc etc etc. I wish it has zippers for its borders. However, nothing falls out if you insert cards into the folds. To me, the leather feels and looks "cheap." It was cheaper then the asking price today when I bought it early part of 2001. It does however protect the palm pilot from unnescessary scatches.
