PalmOne Infrared Wireless Keyboard for Palm PDAs

PalmOne Infrared Wireless Keyboard for Palm PDAs
  • Foldable for easy transport in your pocket, bag or purse!
  • Infrared technology -- no need to buy any other accessories, works with the built-in Infrared port on your Palm PDA!
  • Compatible with the following Palm Handhelds -
  • Palm Tungsten Series Handhelds
  • Palm Zire Series Handhelds

Update/Caution: As of early October 2004, PalmOne has a "Universal Wireless Keyboard driver" update on their T3 web page. That is NOT the correct driver for this keyboard the driver for this keyboard is available from the Palm Accessories page for this keyboard and appears to have last been updated in 12/2003. I experienced system problems after installing that incorrect driver, so be sure you're getting the right one (the pictures show the UWKeyboard with a different key layout).

I've had one of these for a few days now, and it seems to work very nicely. The lack of dedicated number keys is indeed a minor annoyance as is the position of the lower hinge (at the spacebar) but everything else has worked quite well with my Tungsten T3.

There are several things to be aware of when you get one of these:

* The driver software in the package is almost certainly out of date, so you should download the newer version from the Palm website. Be sure you get the drivers for the correct keyboard since there are two different wireless ones.

* On a T3 you'll need to set landscape mode to left-handed orientation because of the position of the IR transmitter.

* While it seems tight, the IR wand is long enough to work with an extended T3 in landscape mode you'll have it at what seems an odd angle, but it works. If you use the flipover cover that comes with the T3, you'll need to have the T3 sitting a bit further out and further to the right (the base of the T3 won't be down in the holder area), but it still seems stable you don't have to remove the cover in order to use the keyboard.

* On-screen buttons that don't match the preprogrammed names reachable with the blue Fn key can be selected using Ctrl-Cmd-Letter where Letter is the first letter of the button (or any unique letter in its name).

* The default in the Keyboard driver is to only look for a keyboard signal for a short time after the Palm is powered on generally 10-30 seconds depending on how you set it. After that it will stop looking in order to save power. That means if you turn on your Palm and use it a bit before dropping it onto the keyboard then it probably won't still be looking. If it finds a keyboard, it'll stay on just fine. Most people can probably set this down to the lowest setting and never notice it.

* The up-arrow key is also the "?" key, so if you need to go up while selecting you have to use the blue Fn key (since Shift-Up will just get you a "?"). This'll be clearer when you look at the keyboard. Otherwise selecting text works as you'd expect (Ctrl-Shift-arrow to select words, etc.)

* There's a quick reference/help area in the Keyboard driver that you install on your Palm. It has some useful tips and is always with you (unlike the PDF manual).

* The keyboard does use power on the Palm since the IR port has to be on, so your battery life will be lower while you're using it lower still if you're using both the IR keyboard and a BlueTooth cellphone as a modem. It's still good for a day or two depending on how much you use it (and the shorter battery life is something T3 owners should already be aware of).

* The Tab key can be configured to either switch fields or insert a TAB character by default, with the other behavior available by using Fn-Tab.

UPDATE: After using it for a while, all of the above still stands but I have two additional notes:

* When the Palm is looking for a keyboard, it's looking for a keypress that's what sends a character and makes the Palm realize there's a keyboard present and just being in the keyboard cradle isn't enough. If you miss that window of time you can force it to look again by either powering off and back on or by switching to the Keyboard application and telling it to look again.

* I use a shopping list program and I've found that in some grocery stores the lighting used in refrigerated/frozen foods sections can make the Palm keyboard driver think that a keyboard is present and sending characters (frozen 'p's?). If you run into this, your best alternative is to cover the IR port with your finger.

The keyboard is a little thinner than my Stowaway keyboard, but bigger in the other two dimensions. Unlike the Stowaway's clever foldout design, this one just folds out in half. Pop the latch (which also serves to support the backrest for your Palm) and fold out the right half of the keyboard. In fact it looks remarkably similar to ThinkOutside's wireless keyboard.

You are greeted with a 3 row keyboard layout (with a split spacebar and other function buttons on a 4th row). A blue Fn key gives you access to the numbers and PDA related functions, while a green Fn key gives you access to symbols.

I like the wireless part. The keyboard's IR port swivels into position above my T3. No connector to snap on to, which is good. I've already worn out one button board on my Visor because of the constant snapping into and out of the keyboard.

I suspect anybody who touch types more than 20 wpm probably won't be too enamoured with this keyboard. The hinge just happens to sit where I normally rest my thumb to hit the space bar which keeps me from hitting the space bar properly. I have to hold my thumb in an awkward position to hit the space bar. Maybe I'll just have to train myself to put my thumb a little farther out to clear the hinge.

Having the numbers and symbols compressed into the top row of letters is also inconvenient if you're typing a lot of numbers mixed in with text. Really slows typing down having to reach for those extra modifier keys. It also means the right hand number keys are all in the wrong position (compare with a full-sized keyboard to see just how out of position they are). If you're just doing straight text, it much less of a problem.

Key spacing is all right, somewhat narrower than the original Stowaway keyboard design. 19mm vs 18mm may not sound like much, but it sure feels like a lot.

I think whoever came up with the 3 row keyboard design was never much of a touch typist who entered a lot of numbers. I suppose eventually I'll get used to it, but man, it sure makes typing slow.

This keyboard is one of the best designed pieces of hardware I've ever seen. You can see the attention they gave to details, from the lock that becomes the pda support, to the rubber strips that won't let the keyboard and the pda slip. You'll never write as fast as in your desktop, but It's a nice package for the portability you get.

If the hardware is great, I can't say the same about the keyboard driver. If you are writing in a language with a lot of accented letters (portuguese, french, spanish...) the software makes it almost useless for any serious writing. It's so clumsy that to put a simple tilde (~) in a letter you have to push 4 keys at the same time! Great to slow you to death and to give you some RSI. Why you can't just press the accent, and then the letter (as you do in all international keyboards) is beyond my understanding. You'll be able to use it just for some notetaking without accents.

I've bought the wireless version because I have a Clié palmtop. Palm licenses this keyboard from Thinkoutside, the makers of the Stowaway keybards, and their site says that the wireless model is compatible with almost all palm models. Since I plan to go back to a palm sometime soon, I've bought this for compatibility. After reading the README file, everything worked fine. Unfortunately the price for the infrared connection is a more intensive use of the pda battery.

I had successfully used a Palm Keyboard with the Palm 105. After purchasing the Tungsten E (which I love) two months ago, it was time for the keyboard. Prices have dropped considerably.

However, installation was fraught and I was ultimately forced to do a hard reset in order to complete the keyboard installation. Of course, I then had to reinstall any third party applications. The calculator managed to disappear en route too.

Design is a little clunky. The old keyboard opened with the touch of a button. One has to wrestle with latch on the new keyboard and ladies, you might break a few nails as you do so. The holder that is supposed to keep the handheld in place is all but useless. An upcoming flight will be an interesting test.

Notwithstanding these criticisms, I was very impressed by Palm's e-mail support which was active on Xmas Eve and during the day and am glad to have the keyboard working.

If you need the keyboard, you can't go wrong at this price.

Bought this last week. After loading the keyboard driver I was able to place my Palm T3 on the keyboard holder and begin typing.

I have used other keyboards for the Palm and by the time I got the PDA docked properly ont he connector I usually forgot what I was going to type...

This works exactly as designed. The only knock on it that I've read is that you must turn your T3 to left handed mode if you want to type in landscape format.

This is a very useful device.

Blue Rabbit Bunny Design Soft Silicone Skin Gel Cover Case with Fur Tail for Verizon AT&T Sprint App

Blue Rabbit Bunny Design Soft Silicone Skin Gel Cover Case with Fur Tail for Verizon AT&T Sprint Apple Iphone 4 4S + Microfiber Pouch Bag + Screen Protector
  • Fully compatible with iPhone 4/4S
  • Color: Blue

This item was ordered for Easter. The bunny case is super cute. However did not receive microfiber pouch bag or screen protector. Contacted customer service. Just received a case for an apple iphone4 , which I just so happen to have, and it is much nicer than the pouch listed. Yet, still no screen protector. All -in-all the value I received is well worth more than the money I paid. I am happy with my purchase but if you are wanting the exact items advertised you too may be in for a surprise.

PalmOne Portable Keyboard for Palm m125, m130, i705, and m500 Series Handhelds

PalmOne Portable Keyboard for Palm m125, m130, i705, and m500 Series Handhelds
  • Innovative design weighs just 8 ounces and folds up to save space; no batteries required
  • Full-size keys for true touch-typing
  • Take notes, write e-mail, create spreadsheets, and more
  • Compatible with Palm m125, m130, i705, and m500 series handhelds

The first Palm I purchased was an m105 last summer. I immediately purchased a Palm folding keyboard for m100 series PDAs. Now, a bit less than a year later, I've purchased an m130 and Palm m130-compatible keyboard. I have quite a bit to say about the folding keyboards Palm sells.

1. Price: The keyboard can be pricey (current retail price is three-quarters of the current retail price of an m105), but, if you're a student or find yourself in situations requiring you to take extensive notes, it's more than worth shelling out the cash. Amazon sells for a great price, so buy from here as opposed to retail stores.

2. Durability: I am a sophomore in college, and I use my Palm and its keyboard to take notes every single day. My keyboard has never been damaged, although I must note that it could break if you're not careful. Since it is a folding model and not one solid piece of machinery, the keyboard could snap if bent the wrong way. You also need to use this keyboard on a flat surface, as other reviewers have noted. If you don't have a desk nearby, though, just prop the keyboard up on a clipboard, notebook, textbook, etc. It's not that big of a hassle.

3. Ease of use: The biggest complaint about PDAs is the pain of using Graffiti to enter data into your device. Graffiti is indeed tiresome; I don't know how many times my Palm has incorrectly identified letters, requiring me to delete and re-enter. Very time-consuming, especially if you're taking notes during a lecture! Obviously, this keyboard eliminates the problem. I don't know about the average joe, but I type a heck of a lot faster than I can write with Graffiti, or even write with a traditional pen and paper. Taking notes in class is a breeze with the keyboard-no hand cramps, no crossing out errors, no scribbling in the margins because your teacher forgot to mention something earlier... It's great.

4. Quick copies: As others have mentioned, after you take notes using the keyboard, simply HotSync your data with your PC and print. Eaaaaaasy and fast. When friends at school are sick and miss class, they don't have to copy notes from others by hand-I just print them off a copy of mine.

5. Portability: This keyboard is very, very portable and surprisingly compact. The keyboard is broken into four parts, loosely connected. Just slide the clasp to pop open the keyboard, unfold, slide the outside two pieces along the connecting tracks until they lock with the inside two, and stick your PDA in the cradle. Ok, maybe it sounds complicated without the keyboard in front of you, but it's incredibly easy. When the keyboard is folded and closed, it's just a bit bigger than the PDA itself. Truly awesome.

6. Coolness: Finally, I have to mention the "cool" factor. I must say I enjoy the stares I get from classmates the first time I whip out this gizmo. It's a great way to break the ice with new people, and it makes you seem cutting-edge when everyone else takes out a pen and paper for lectures.

I give this product 4 stars out of 5 because of its price and the potential for breaking. I do point out once more, however, that Amazon has a great price for this keyboard. Also, I do acknowledge that there might not be an affordable way to make a sturdier folding keyboard. I would suggest to Palm that they include some sort of small, sliding plastic pieces on the underside of the folding pieces to perhaps provide some sort of braces so the keyboard couldn't bend the wrong way. Other than these minor flaws, this is a solid investment. Parents, get your kids this great tool.

The Palm Keyboard is a great device for enhancing one's productivity. Here are five ways I use it all of the time:

1) Data Input -Here's the obvious. The Palm keyboard is usable for inputting data into all of the major Palm applications; calendar, address book, memo, to-do list and e-mail. Typing is always faster -and more accurate. (No surprises here.)

2) Word Processing and Printing -This one isn't so obvious. If you add Docs to Go (from Dataviz) on to your Palm, this will enable you to modify and compose new MS Word documents directly on your PDA. If you also add either BtPrint or IRPrint (from ISComplete.com), you can then print these documents to any number of Bluetooth or infrared capable printers (such as HP's 995 for Bluetooth, or HP's 350, 990, 995, or 1315 printers for IR). Syncing with your PC becomes less necessary. And why lug around a heavy laptop to word process when the Palm and Palm keyboard are as easy to carry as two small paperback novels?

3) Address Book -Here's a fun one. Open the address book and type in the first 3-5 letters of the name you're seeking and hit "enter." And, voila! You're there! I use the Palm keyboard when I have a lengthy list of people to call. (Scrolling with the stylus is, by comparison, very slow -and for the birds!)

4) E-mails and Voice Mails -Here's another less obvious one (but a biggie!). I use my Palm keyboard to write down information -and action steps -while reading or listening to e-mails and voice-mails, respectively. Then I delete them (or never look at them again). Why print out, file, shuffle and re-read or re-listen to e-mails and voice mails? This is so time consuming. With the Palm keyboard, I can record more info than on a note pad, and I can put my next steps directly into my to-do list so I won't forget. (To make this even easier, I always listen to voice mail using a speakerphone -my company's at work, and my Siemens 4200 2.4 ghz at home. All of the Siemens 4200 series phones have a speakerphone built into both the base and remote units. Very handy.)

5) Taking Notes in Meetings -This is another biggie! Why use paper and pen -when typing into one's Palm is so much faster? The data also becomes much more usable. After the meeting, I can print out a hard copy if I'd like to file the notes or distribute them phsycially. I can also upload them to my PC (normally as a MS Word document) if I want to file or disseminate them electronically. If you're worried about the "geek factor" of taking the keyboard to meetings -there isn't one! The Palm keyboard is an engineering marvel. I get only "oohs" and "aahs" when I unfurl it. (Taking a laptop to a meeting -now, that's geeky!) Other's are even more impressed when I arrive -without any paper!

In terms of computer power, the Palm is really a mini-PC -but hardly anyone uses it as such! The slow speed of data input (with a stylus), I believe, is a major factor. With this remarkably compact keyboard, the Palm can become a major productivity-enhancing tool. See how much faster you can go! I highly recommend it!

Ok, i lvoe this thing. I can type 80 wps and can tke notes maybe around 40 wps with a pen or pencil. I always hate sitting at a lecture and missing stuff cause I can't write it down fast enough. This thing solves my problem. I type the stuff, and cna READ IT! When I write notes really fast they are illegiable, this thing solves all of my problems!

It is light, small, and very efficiant. You'll love it.

I was considering buying a laptop, but hated the weight and the thought of protecting it from theft. I take this to meetings/seminars/mountains and write there. The batteries last a long long time on the Palm. If you take notes even moderately often, you'll thank yourself. I wish I'd had this in grad school. You can sync to your computer and it goes into outlook, then save to whatever file you want, and voila, computer word processed document.

Save 30% Off

I waited for several months before I finally purchased this keyboard. First, I tried to save money with the attachable thumb keypad for the i705. This turned out to be quite a waste of money compared to the benefits of the full-size Portable Keyboard. I used to slowly enter one letter at a time with the stylus, then with the thumb keypad. Now, I am surprised at how fast I am typing with the Palm Keyboard. Not only is it fast and easy to set up, but it is also VERY high quality. I actually like it as much or better than my home computer keyboard.

If you regularly type large amounts of text into your Palm, then you should definitely save yourself a headache and buy this keyboard. Don't be surprised if you are able to type at the same speed as you would on a regular computer keyboard. The only complaint that I have is that it does not lock open. For instance, if you want to use it on your lap, you would need to find a book or something flat to put it on.

Corsair Carbide Series Black 400R Mid Tower Computer Case (CC-9011011-WW)

Corsair Carbide Series Black 400R Mid Tower  Computer Case
  • Built-in compatibility for SSDs in the six hard drive bays gives you the flexibility you need.
  • Front panel includes USB 3.0, Headphone, Mic, and an LED on/off switch.
  • Keep your system cool with up to 10 fan mount locations (four 120mm, six 120mm/140mm)
  • Up to 316mm of length for modern GPUs.
  • Easily accessible dust filters keep the cool air flowing over your valuable components.
  • Captive thumbscrews make it easy to remove your side panels without losing the screws.
  • Install or upgrade your CPU heatsink quickly with the easy-access backplate cutout.
  • Optimize airflow and keep your system neat and tidy using the intelligent cable management system.

Corsair makes some of the world's best PC enclosures; just read all the critical acclaim and awards that their Obsidian and Graphite Series cases have garnered. I had the chance to review the Graphite Series White 600T about six months ago, and was impressed with its interior space, cable management, flexible cooling options and Corsair's attention to detail. Despite the impressive performance and features of the Graphite and Obisidian Series cases, there's no question that the premium price kept Corsair's enclosures out of reach for many people--until now.

To complete their offering of high-performance cases, Corsair has introduced the Carbide Series mid-tower case. As their entry-level case, the 400R promises "everything you need, nothing you don't" at an MSRP of $99.99. Let's see if the 400R lives up to that promise.

PROS:

Plenty of interior space

Supports up to 10 case fans

Built-in SSD mounting

Excellent cable management

Fantastic value

CONS

Reset switch too close to fan LED on/off switch

IN THE BOX

* Quick start guide

* USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 adapter

* Zip ties and wire mounts

* Motherboard standoffs

* Motherboard screws

* Hard drive and optical drive screws

* Power supply screws

* Fan screws

AESTHETICS

The exterior of 400R has a very clean and simple design. It doesn't stand out like the Obsidian or Graphite Series cases do, but the simple design will probably appeal to a lot of people. It's also a more typical mid-tower size than the 600T.

At 18.5 lbs, the 400R is almost 10 pounds lighter than the 600T. The dimensions are also smaller, all the way around. If you have furniture with say, a standard-sized computer stand or you just need something smaller for your space, the 400R should work out nicely. Like the 600T, the 400R uses a mixture of steel and molded ABS plastic.

As an added convenience, the 400R has a carry handle in the front, which makes it easy to carry around to LAN parties. I also use it to store USB cables for quick access.

INSTALLATION

Installing components in the 400R was comfortable and easy because of the roomy interior space. The 400R doesn't have the unique latch mechanisms for the side panels like the 600T, but I didn't mind using the standard thumb screws. The screws are also conveniently attached to the side panels so you don't misplace them. The muscular design of the side panels not only make them look cooler, but also increases the space at the sides. This made reattaching the right panel a lot easier. In fact, I didn't even bother spending the time to tidy up the cables on the right side because the panel shut easily without doing so. If you're a total neat freak though, there are a fair number of tie-down loops and Corsair even includes a few nylon zip ties.

The motherboard was easy to drop into the 400R, even without a motherboard tray. Large heatsinks also aren't a problem because of the large CPU cutout. In my initial build, I had a stock air cooler installed and later installed a Corsair H80 water cooler. Because of the CPU cutout, I didn't have to remove the entire motherboard, just to install mounting brackets for the water block--score! The PSU install was also a cinch and I was able to rout the ATX 8-pin power connector to the motherboard via the cutout for it.

Like the 600T, the 400R has plastic drive caddies. I noticed that the caddies on the 400R are a bit more flexible than the ones in the 600T, but it made no difference in mounting the drives. Hard drives snapped right in to the caddies, without having to mess around with screws or rails. SSD drives can also be mounted into the same caddies, but with the use of screws. This means you no longer have to buy SSD desktop kits or use velcro to safely mount your SSD drive.

Optical drives are even simpler to install, since they use the same tool-free mechanism as the 600T. Just slide the optical drive in until it clicks and you're done; no screws or rails to slow you down.

Expansion cards pose no installation problems for the 400R and the bracket covers are vented for better airflow. You get eight PCI-E slots with support for up to 316mm (12.4 inch) long expansion cards. So yeah, if you want to set up SLI or CrossFire, the 400R has you covered.

The last thing I want to mention about working inside the 400R are the cable-routing holes. If you read my review of the 600T, then you already know how much I like Corsair's cable-routing holes. They allow me to keep the case free of cable clutter, resulting in unrestricted airflow and a better looking case.

COOLING

The 400R comes with three 120mm fans--one rear exhaust and two front intake. The front intake fans also have white LEDs. With the default number of fans, the 400R has good cooling and is pretty quiet. However, if you have greater cooling requirements, the 400R supports up to 10 total fans. You can even install a 240mm radiator at the top of the case. Obviously, cooling options on the 400R are plentiful.

MISCELLANEOUS

The 400R's I/O panel is conveniently located at the top and includes 2 x USB 3.0 ports, power switch, HDD LED, mic and headphone jacks, FireWire (1394) port, fan LED on/off switch, and a reset switch. The only issue I had with the I/O panel was that the fan LED on/off switch is located just above the reset switch. Twice, I accidentally hit the reset switch when I meant to hit the fan LED switch. Granted, this happened in the dark, but they're so close together, I could see myself and others hitting the wrong switch even in the daylight.

The 400R also comes with a USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 converter for the motherboard, which is a nice touch. Additionally, the I/O cables are neatly wrapped in a black cover and clearly labeled. I know it's minor, but it's probably the best looking I/O cables I've seen yet for a PC enclosure.

Finally, I just want to mention another example of the detail that Corsair paid with the 400R. To install optical drives on the 400R, you have to remove the entire front panel of the case. Seasoned system builders have performed this act, countless times in their careers. It goes something like this: unclip the stupid plastic tabs located all over the left and right sides, partially pull the front panel out, unclip the stupid tabs again that clipped back in, then finally remove the front panel completely.

Removing the front panel of the 400R is a different story and it goes something like this: pull the front panel out. Done. The 400R doesn't use plastic tabs. It's a little hard to describe, but the 400R uses a circular metal tab that when you give it a quick pull, the entire front panel comes out without fuss. Those Corsair engineers are pret-ty smart.

CONCLUSION

The Corsair Carbide Series 400R mid-tower case has hit its mark. For $99, you probably shouldn't expect too much out of an ATX case, but the 400R has raised the bar. The 400R gives system builders and enthusiasts an affordable alternative to Corsair's higher-end enclosures, without sacrificing a whole lot. You still get the same Corsair-grade build quality, support, tool-free design, cable-routing holes, roomy interior, flexible cooling and good looks. So yeah, you could say that the 400R has lived up to its billing, and is a great way to step into a Corsair case without breaking the bank. I highly recommend it.

I purchased this case the end of December 2011 and did not have USB 3.0 functionality on both front ports testing with 3 different USB 3.0 storage devices. The back Intel DZ68BC board USB 3.0 header/ports worked fine. Corsair sent a replacement that appeared to be used (visible using a 10x loupe) that was received the first week of January 2012. Of the two USB 3.0 front ports with the replacement, only one functions as USB 3.0. Corsair will again send another replacement front header that is supposed to be "new". Either I am unlucky or who ever makes the parts for Corsair is using inferior parts for their series 400 R cases regarding front USB 3.0 front headers.

Beyond the USB 3.0 front panel connectivity issue I really like the case overall design.

Coming from an Antec 900 (still in use), can't help but compare:

Antec 900 Pros: Somewhat better build quality. HDDs and drive bay covers screw in. Cooling is better out-of-box, with the helicopter fan on top, and fan switches to control speed. See-through panel. Looks sleeker, IMO.

Carbide 400R Pros: Cable management and ergonomics. No contest here. With all of my drives and Corsair TX750 transferred from the Antec, it was MUCH easier to tuck cables out of the way behind the motherboard panel, thanks to lots of rubberized holes around the motherboard mounting, the rear-facing orientation of the hard drive bays (the HDD trays fit the drives very snuggly), and the extruded side panel. Makes for plenty of room in the case for GPUs. Looks stodgier by comparison, but I don't really care.

Couple gripes: the HDD trays -if you try to install an SSD, the retainer clip for HDDs gets in the way. Also, what's with the current fad of putting USB ports right above optical drive bays? Sure it makes for easy access, but dangling cables can block ejecting trays.

Really nice case overall. Would buy it again for a new build.

Edit: You can remove the pins in the HDD trays for mounting an SSD by removing the entire pin bar.

This is a really great case, and the radiator of the H100 water cooler that it's designed to hold fits great... Until you try to put the motherboard in. Once I put my motherboard in, the radiator (plus stock fans) was touching parts of the board, and totally blocking access to the fan plugs along the top edge of the board. Now this might not be the case for your board, but in general I would have liked to have seen extra space to prevent this.

My solution was to put the fans for the radiator on the outside of the case (top) and put grills on them keep anything from getting in the fans. It looks silly, but luckily I'm more interested in performance than looks at this point.

If the case would have had more room to keep the H100 away from the board, I would have given it 5 stars.

This is probably the best case I have ever owned.

Pros:

Easy Access to the CPU for Aftermarket Coolers.

Crazy amount of space.

Cons:

Fellowes 98030 Black Bumper Case for Palm IIIxe, IIIe, and IIIx
  • For Palm III series organizers (excluding Palm IIIc)
  • Stylish, rugged, water-resistant design
  • Hideaway lid for protection and ease of use
  • Loops for attaching to shoulder or wrist straps
  • Built-in infrared window for data transfer

So i'm messy and disorganised a Palm Pilot (IIIe) is perfect for me. I do not buy animal products so this case seemed perfect. HA! imagine a thick piece of flexible rubber built so if it breaks there are no parts a child could eat. This makes it not only bulky, poorly designed, but in conflict with the actual purpose of owning a case. the top doesnt stay on unless its taped down and forget about dropping it as nothing is holding your palm down inside. besides all this, let me mention that the pieces are so crudely put together dont even think about having liquid near by one spill would leak completly thru the case... I've not tested this theory, but logic states that liquid can go thru spaces like these. Save your money and effort and look elsewhere, a company should be ashamed to put out such a poorly designed product.

This case is really big and bulky. If you like to put your palm top in your pocket this not the case for you. You also have to completly remove the palm top from the case to hot sync.

I've used this product for approximately 12 months. After a period of time my palm stopped accepting entries. I finally figured out that the pressure involved in getting the palm in and out of this product was the problem. Apparently it was causing a small movement between the front panel of the palm and the back panel, creating a loss of connection. No permanent problem was created, but I have had to stop using this product.

This is a great case, however, even with the top removed, the IIIc will not fit into the case. Had to return the case. Worthless.

Aluminum Black Metal Case for LG Optimus 7 E900

Aluminum Black Metal Case for LG Optimus 7 E900The good:

The case is very durable and completely protect your mobile from falls and hard knocks.

Adapter belt is very safe and there is little possibility of release from your belt.

The bad:

Makes the phone look aesthetically bad because it seems too thick cell phone.

Your phone gets a little heavy, then it may carry in your shirt pocket.

very nice product. It arrived quickly with no damages. After having it for more than a month, the product is beginning to wear a little but that is to be expected as the quality is consistent with the price. Keeps my Kindle Fire safe and love the little pocket on the inside. Overall nice item.

This case is great, but if you have a Kindle Fire HD, make sure you get the one for HD (ie, not this one!) That's my fault though for not reading the product description carefully. Cost was $5.99, but it will cost me $7 to return it for a refund so I'll likely just give it away or maybe modify it to add a notebook or something. It's fairly well made, but we obviously haven't used it because our HD model does not fit this case.

The product itself is ok. I give it one star as the stylus was missing from the package. Not worth the money to send it back for a replacement.

3in1 Metal 3-Pack Stylus for Palm Treo 750 755P

3in1 Metal 3-Pack Stylus for Palm Treo 750 755P
  • 3in1 3-Pack Metal Stylus w/Pen
  • For Palm Treo 750 755P SmartPhones

I'd lost my OEM stylus quite some time ago, and had been making-do with whatever I could. Unfortunately, I still had this 'hole' on the top of my Palm Treo, letting in dust and junk that probably isn't good for the phone.

I'd had a 'pen' stylus for earlier Palm devices so when I finally went looking for a replacement, that was a requirement. This Pen Stylus (set of 3) filled the bill exactly. It works great as a stylus (much more accurate than my fat-fingers!), and now I can have a pen with me always, w/o having to look like I should be wearing a pocket-protector too. ;-)

I'll never buy a 'plain' stylus again. :-)

Very handy for when you need a pen quickly. Better quality and more durable than other stylus/pen combos for the 755P phone. Fits perfectly in the phone carrier slot.

I should have sent this back because I thought it was going to be a fineline stylus for my iPhone and it wasn't.

Marware Sidewinder for iPhone 1G

Marware Sidewinder for iPhone 1G
  • Sidewinding retractable cord management system (patent pending).
  • Smooth, sleek, and durable rubberized holster with unique reversible mounting design - allows iPhone
  • Patented Multidapt 360 rotating clip (interchangeable) and also serves as a tabletop stand for video
  • Quick and easy accessibility to all iPhone features (Screen display, Dock connector, Headphone port,
  • Maximum versatility and value in a single product.

I bought the Sidewinder with my iPhone. It's convenient and protects at least one side of the iPhone. The cord management system is a nice plus. On the other hand, you have to realize that the back side of the phone will pick up scratches and dirt as it's facing outward all of the time.

After exactly a month, the point of attachment to the clip broke when I was taking it off of my belt. There's a thin, hollow ring of plastic at the attachment point that fatigued. I feel like I was lucky that it broke when I was holding the phone and I didn't end up with it on the floor of a taxi or a train, unnoticed.

With it failing so soon, I'd avoid it.

The holster does not snugly fit the iPhone. There is a small gap between the top of the IPhone and the holster lip, which made me uneasy about its security. However, I didn't have to worry about that because the holster broke off from its clip in less than one month with fairly light use by me. I recommend the Seidio iPhone holster instead. It's $5 more, but much better designed and made.

Seemed cheap and it is. While I liked the look and feel and the "stand" it did not feel secure in holding the phone. The belt clip broke 2 weeks in and I threw it away.

Want Marware Sidewinder for iPhone 1G Discount?

The Sidewinder is an amazing concept that only the engineering genius of Marware could pull off. I can't understand the negative reviews, this is just what I wanted easy access to my organized headphones and belt clip. Other iPhone cases miss the point and simplicity of this one.

In conjunction with a durable screen protector (not really the one that is supplied), it is a great case for your iphone. The above description of the case is not totally accurate you have to remove the case to connect the iphone to the dock. It is a very handy case. You can carry your headphones wrapped around the retractable cord management system.

The rotational clip with the easy snap off (to answer phone) is stellar.

Best of all, the beauty of the iphone is preserved!

BoxWave Capacitive Nokia 808 PureView Stylus (Lunar Blue)

BoxWave Capacitive Nokia 808 PureView Stylus

  • Conveniently designed in pen form, perfect for carrying around
  • Durable construction
  • Perfect for cold days when you don't want to remove your gloves
  • Available in Jet Black, Metallic Silver, Crimson Red, Lunar Blue, or Bold Orange color

I ordered this because I was sick of the IPAQ sitting on my desk taking up space and thought this would solve the problem. It did. The only issue is that the cradle is kind of loose with the normal battery and won't handle the extended battery.

Overall, it does what I was hoping it would do but I was disappointed that it wouldn't handle the extended battery.

CTA Digital Keyed Cable Lock with Stand for iPad (PAD-LOCK)

CTA Digital Keyed Cable Lock with Stand for iPad
  • Security cable and frame let you safely lock your iPad anywhere
  • Steel core security cable with T lock and fastening loop
  • Silicone padding protects from bumps, dings or scratches
  • Optional stand included with easy 360° rotation
  • Adjustable stand allows for optimal viewing in portrait, landscape or keyboard orientations
  • Easily attach to headrest with strap for car use
  • Frame provides wrist friendly 15° tilt angle without additional stand

I wanted a way to secure my iPad while traveling. The CTA Cable Lock with Stand is a great solution. The frame slides over the corners of the iPad (including my smartcover and back snap shield). Wrap the cable around a secure object (table, chair, etc.) and insert the lock into the back of the frame. Works just like a laptop cable lock. Now I feel better about leaving it in the hotel room. I wasn't really interested in the stand that was included. The frame slides onto the stand which will pivot. Nice idea, but the plastic seems too light to support the iPad safely, too top-heavy. The frame itself is a little bulky, but lightweight. Overall it's an easy solution to protect a big investment!

Mallasia Smart Magnetic Stand 360 Degree Rotatable Leather Case For 7 Inches Tablet PC/MID/iPad 3
  • Universal Smart Magnetic Stand Rotate Leather Case

This is a good case that allows use of any 7" tablet. The construction is simple and effective. I had the version with the keyboard but it was just too thick for my needs. The rotating panel is removable if you want to protect the back of your tablet but not have the complete case.
