1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Design - Didn't Work Properly., February 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Incipio Leather PDA Case w/ Swivel Clip - Handspring Treo 180/270 (Office Product)

This is the same case made by Krussel (must be same company). The major design flaw of this case is the inner cover that goes over the Handspring lid. This stretches over time very quickly (a few weeks) and then does not hold the lid at all. Therefore, when you open the case, this inner cover slips off and hangs unused and in the way. It became such an annoyance that I finally had to cut the inner cover completely off. Now, I have to open the outer cover - and then the Handspring lid to get to the phone.

As a result, I have stopped using this case and have bought the ones made by Handspring.

1.0 out of 5 stars Your Handspring May Fall Out, August 15, 2003

This review is from: Incipio Leather PDA Case w/ Swivel Clip - Handspring Treo 180/270 (Office Product)

The Treo fits in well enough: the Treo lid slips into the case lid and the Treo bottom slips into a plastic sleeve at the bottom of the case, as pictured. There is a hole to accomodate charging/syncing. The belt clip works well. The case has a disk on the back that slides and locks into a slot on the belt clip. The disk allows the Treo to swivel in the slot.

Unfortunately, when you wear the Treo in the case on your belt, it may fall out. That is what happened to mine. The case I received did not have a button flap like the ones shown in the picture. If you start to walk briskly, jog, or bump into something, the Treo can open up at which point the lid slips out. The bottom of the Treo falls out immediately thereafter and the PDA then falls to the ground. It'll make you cringe when it happens. Bottom line: the case needs a snap/velcro closure to keep it from opening up. Until that change at least is made to the design, please do not buy this product.

Secondary complaints follow. First, the bottom sleeve, made of clear plastic on the inside, covers the bottom Treo buttons as well as part of the keyboard. You can still press the buttons through the plastic, but it is more difficult. Second, the front of the case has a 1-inch by half-inch silver-colored piece of metal with the advertisement "Krusell" on it. Perhaps somebody at Incipio and/or Krussel decided to replace the necessary closure flap with this unnecessary advertisement.

an absolutely terrible design.
it doesn't fit and the treo won't turn off with it on.
unfortunately, i let it sit for over the 30 day limit
so now it's in the trash where it belongs.
