PalmOne V Slim Leather Carrying Case

I have put away my old wallet and converted to this Palm leather case. My old wallet size is about the same as my Palm Vx in this leather case (but without a lot of junk I used to keep in my old wallet). The rubber spine that holds the Palm Vx in place seems like it could tear if you frequently remove the unit from the case. I just leave it in the case and fold the flaps back for hot-syncing.

TIP: I find that it's best to slide the Palm Vx in the case so that the screen faces the flap without the card holders. If you put it in the way shown in the picture, your screen may get scratched from any credit cards you might have in the holders.

I wish they put a transparent ID card holder in this case. That's one thing I miss. It would also be nice if they had sewn in a spring-loaded mechanism that snaps the covers shut or open so that you wouldn't need the leather strip and loop to keep it closed.

Overall, it's a nice slim design that keeps the bulge if your pocket to a minimum.

I have shopped around form Palm V cases for my Palm V and my wife's. We actually went to Franklin Covey Shop and some other places, and compared all palm V cases, and found out that this is the best one among any others currently available. Besides, it is the cheapest one too. I can put 3 credit cards and a driver license on two vertical slots, and some cash, a couple of business cards, a photo, and a few coupons in a side slot. I couldn't believe that all these and Palm V can be packed into this one slim case very compactly. I have no problem in carrying this all the time. I am very satisfied with its design, size, quality, ergonomics, and price. "More expensive, the better" does not apply here. Actually, the more expensive, the worse in this case. IMHO, if you cannot find better case than this one, it is probably because there is none.

This is a high quality leather case for the Palm V. This product can eliminate the need to carry a wallet and the Palm V. You can the case up with a credit card and drivers' license. Maybe some cash too in the side slot. The best part is the slim size of this case. I got the hard case but it's just too big, clumsy and heavy. This is much more stylish.

Unlike my other reviews which usually take up a page or so, this product is rather straight forward. First and foremost I must say that this case sure beats the hell out of the hard case, which is also manufactured by 3Com, in both form and function. Second it can hold credit cards and money to be used as a second wallet, although it is not a great idea to use it as a primary substitute. And thirdly, the hard case is about ten dollars more than the leather case and is not nearly as good.

However, like all things, it does have it's downsides. It's biggest flaw, like with other cases, is that it makes placing the Palm in the craddle (while still in the case) a little more difficult. You basically need to place the craddle up on something (upside-down cup for example) and pull back both sides of the case all the way and then you can recharge. Secondly, the pockets are made so stiff inside that it is very tricky to get both money or credit cards into or out of the pockets, which is why you might want to stick to a regular wallet. And thirdly, if you place the cased palm in a tight space like a bag or something, there is a chance that the edge of the case will hit the power button and cause it to turn on. This is not a big deal since it will shut off automatically after a minute or so, however it can become annoying when you haven't charged your palm in a while and you find that your battery is dying for some strange reason.

All in all, you can't do much better than this case for only $19.95, and while there may be more expensive cases on the market, they are all variations of this simple design. However, I would say that it would be nice it 3Com or Palm would make a case like this that went all the way around the palm for protection on all sides, since something can get caught between your palm and the case and end up scratching the screen (which almost happened to me).

Final thoughts: nice leather, don't expect it to take the same beating as the hard case, but unless you plan to go hiking with your palm, don't shovel out the extra ten bucks for a shoddy hard case, get this nice leather one instead.

This was the first case that i had for my Palm. There is no doubt that it a good case and it looks really nice with the Vx. With the case on, it very little to the overall size of the palm. The silo design of the Vx which allows you to attach the case to the palm was ingenious. It a huge leap in case design compared to the velcro concept of may PDA's.

As for this case it is made of high quality leather and it a loop/strap design that i also liked. Velcro and the button proved that after prolonged use, it tends to rip. The loop/strap design secures the case very well and it still looks very elegant.

However like many leather products, they tend to warp and deform after a while. Just think of your wallet and how deformed that can get. If your going to be putting it in your pocket a lot, i suggest you go with the hard case. However if your going to be putting it in a bag or brief case, then this case will be fine.

Although the case has slots for credit cards or business cards, realistically you wouldnt want to put more than two credit card and 3 business cards in it at one time. It does a lot to the bulkiness of the case. Personally I only carried 4 business cards in it at one time.

Reatively speaking i wanted a case that was smaller then this one because it got a little too big for my pockets, whether it be the shirt or pant pocket. i found that not only was the hardcase by palm smaller and almost weighed as much, it also protected it just as well.

Also the fact that the powerbutton was often times turn on when using the leather case convinced me to change to the hard case.

Dont get me wrong. I really like this case. The hard case just fit my needs for a case a lot better then the slim leather case.

The best thing i can suggest is to try both of them out before you actually buy it. A lot of stores will let you try on the case. Thats really the best way to determine which one will really work for you.

I wonder if this will fit the m500 series... hmmm....
