1.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating!, November 11, 2005

I find this case difficult to use. Yes, it prevents scratches, but so would a safety vault- which is basically what this thing is. The case itself is absolutely impossible to get into; its a struggle every time.

If you plan on being able to actually access your palm pilot, go with the soft case.

Yes, the case is cheap plastic. Almost everything people said about it is true. However, it's the only case available right now, made specifically for the Z22, that protects the screen.

There is a method to opening it easily. I hold it downward in my left hand, between my thumb and index finger at the "top", supporting it with my little finger at what is now the "bottom", and press on the upward corners of the case. This relaxes the clasp and the thing opens easily.

It's way overpriced and won't look good for long. But, as far as I'm concerned, it's job is to protect the Z22. I'll dump this case as soon as somebody produces a good looking, highly functional, leather case that does the same without adding too much bulk. For now, this is good interim protection for a device I don't want to replace yet. Having broken two PDA screens in the last five or seven years, I'd hate to do that again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must have to protect your Z22, June 26, 2006

This review is from: Palm 3235WW Air Case for Z22 Handheld (Office Product)

I was hesitant to purchase this protective case as it wasn't very chic looking, but am glad I did. It certainly gives piece of mind in protecting my Z22. The Z22 snaps right in and is simple to manuever once you get used to opening it correctly (push the button in + up similtaneously.) I also suggest using screen protectors for the Z22 if you are concerned about scratching the screen with the stylus in a fervor entering information.

Two things to note:

1. You really cannot "use" the stylus or navigation buttons while the case is closed, as I believe the product description leads one to believe. I may have misunderstood, but wanted to clarify if others thought the same.

2. Unfortunately, this product does scratch easily itself (better the case than the Z22). My suggestion is that you consider using a wristlet or small pocket change wallet in addition to the Air Case. I thought it might be too much, but found it was easy to use the wristlet for those "caught off guard while using the Palm" moments, like your name being called at the Dr.'s office, or shopping and needing to check the list constantly.

Overall, worth the price and meets the need.
