3.0 out of 5 stars good thing "distressed" was in the title, January 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Handspring Distressed Leather Case (Office Product)

Good construction, and nice size, but a few minor problems: I've owned my case for a couple of months now, and it's starting to show in the leather. The construction is excellent, but the leather shows every scratch. Which, considering the style, isn't too much of a drawback.

At first I was a little upset that the clip that holds your visor into the case was black (I own the Ice version), but I've since gotten over it. The other problem with the clip is that it doesn't hold the Visor in securely; sometimes when my Visor has been bumped around in my bag it unattaches from the clip, so when I open the case I have to reattach my visor before I use it (I don't think this is a widespread problem, since the other reviewers say that their Visors stay in snuggly).

For people who want to use this as a wallet, don't expect to hold anything more than a credit card in the pocket, there isn't much room.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very attractive and protective, January 6, 2001

I bought this case after reading the reviews of other buyers. I was shocked when it arrived because I thought it would be larger. I was looking for something to carry credit cards, my license, and some cash as well as my visor. In reality, I can easily carry a card or two and my license but after being in there for a while, the cards strech the leather and also make an impression that can not be removed. Another notable dislike is that it is very easily scratched. Some can be removed with a leather oil or other protector but it still shows the markings.

The stylus holder leaves something to be desired. After using it over time the holder gets stretched out and easily falls out of the case.

As far as protection it works great. I've dropped it several times and although my visor may pop off of the holder, it remains safe inside the case. The case is also very attractive with my orange visor and catches the eye of many.

I would recommend this as a gift or a splurge item, but I'm not confident that my money was well spent.
