5.0 out of 5 stars The best one so far, October 11, 2000
By 
calibreton "loicnic" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I have tried the aluminum hard case, the leather case and this one. Even though it is not the most stylish case, it does a great job protecting my precious toy. I am even getting into the bad habit of throwing the pilot accross the room onto my day bag (kids don't try this at home). Left handed comrads: I am pleased to say that this case is lefty compatible. This can also become your wallet, with room for credit cards and driver license. However, don't even think of putting in you back pocket. My only criticism: it is a little bulky, you are back to the size of the Palm III inside a thin leather case.

The leather case was better on the practical side because of the belt clip, but lacked cushion. The aluminum case was better on the style side, but felt light and not very secure. This case is the best all around one I have tried - so far.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice But..., October 27, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Body Glove DataSuit Protective Palm V Case (Navy) (Office Product)
I bought the Body Glove DataSuit for my Palm V, and like the other reviewers have noticed the same problems:
1. When closing the zipper, the stylus comes out of its slot.
2. Poor sewing quality in the interior.
3. Poor fitting attachment rail.

I have also noticed another important problem (if you would call it a problem) with this product. It is SO well padded, that you cannot hear the alert or reminder alarms when they go off! (I used the alarms to remind me of multiple meetings throughout my work day) After missing a second meeting due to not being able to hear the alarm, the case was rarely zippered while at work. This kind of defeats the pupose of having a protective case.

Overall, I am satisfied with the case though. I have dropped my PDA a couple of times in this case (thankfully it was closed at the time) with no damage so it does protect your investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it HotSyncs in the case!!, July 3, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I've gone through 3 different cases for my Palm V before this one: Palm leather with strap (not enough protection), RhinoSkin tin (way too bulky), and Palm hard case (very slippery); Body Glove is the best, because it skirts the above problems, and most importantly, you can HotSync with the case on, which was impossible or very inconvenient with the other 3. There's stiff material under the padding on both flaps, so the screen is well protected, but the overall bulk is surprisingly minimal and the Palm's buttons (including the "Adjust Contrast" on top) are not inadvertently pushed on. The zipper is tough resin; it's high-quality, smooth, and doesn't catch on the corners. I thought it might be a pain to zip the thing open every time, but this is surprisingly not so, maybe because the mechanism is so good and smooth. The neoprene is easy to grip and doesn't slip around. Finally, the case (as is noted by other reviewers) is not unattractive; I recently got a matching cover for my Nokia 5100 as well, and the set looks great!
