Perfect!

Wanted to protect my new PDA - this is perfect, a little bulkier than I would have liked, however I can toss it in my purse or bag and not worry about damaging it....or turning it on and running the batteries

Savior case, with a silly port

Call it a "life extender" for the Palm. I've had at least 7 different Palm units over the years, starting with a Palm III. Almost all have lasted less than a year. My second to last unit, a Tungsten E, lasted a little over a year. I have always put the Palm in my pocket, with its "leatherette" cover on it, and the shell always gets pretty scratched up. The logos and even the serial number usually rub off. When I bought my Tungsten E2, after my TE died, I noticed the hard case, and bought it too. Boy, has that investment ever paid off. Not only is the E2 going strong 1.5 years later, but the logos on the front are pristine. I have dropped the unit in its case on pavement more times than I care to remember, but the E2 is going strong.

After the extended warranty expired on my last TE, I took it apart to try to repair it (dang power switch). Once inside, I noticed an alarming amount of lint and dust that had leaked into the unit, presumably from my pocket. Yet another vote for the hard shell, which would doubtless have extended its life as well.

My one complaint about the case is the awful placement of the rubberized "port" access in the top of the unit. Apparently a slot for the Mini SD card, this port makes no sense whatsoever. Not only is it impossible to insert or retrieve a card with the case closed (you need to press down firmly on the card itself to eject it, and your fingers can't get near it from outside the case), but the port would be SO much better served as a headphone jack port. Better yet, a headphone jack port AND a wider port at the bottom of the case to accommodate the E/E2's charging and USB ports would make the case superb. That, and hinges for the port door that feature a simple spring mechanism to close the port when not in use. Now you'd be talking.

Very good protector

This is a necessary tool for the Tungsten E2. The flimsy cover provided by Palm will not protect your new PDA. I find mind very handy to use. It is not necessary to take the PDA out of the case in order to charge or synchronize it.

Mildly good case

I like the case but the way it locks leaves a little to be desired. I am a medical student and needed something to keep my Palm secure. This case helps but I found that a Pelican case works much better. I also found that the case scratches easily leaving the black undercoat exposed looking like it has gone through a war and back.
