I spent a good bit of time reading Amazon reviews about Treo cases. Most of the cases had very mixed reviews. My Palm One Treo 700/650 Pouch Leather Case is stylish with a nice soft leather. At first my Treo moved around a little in the case. This little movement was not very noticable or bothersome. After I remembered the little pocket inside the case, I put 4 business cards inside. These were just enough to keep my Treo from moving. Actually the pocket can't really hold more than 4 or 5 business cards without making it difficult to close the Treo in the case. I really like the magnetic flap. It's easy to open and close. Finally the belt clip holds securely on my belt.

I like the case very much. The quality of the leather and clip seem good. I have had one other case that had a stronger magnetic closure--that would be my only suggestion.

The case is slightly roomier than some and has a pocket in which a couple of SD cards can be stored. Unlike some others, I can actually fit my Treo 650 with a "skin" case in this leather pouch.

This pouch attaches firmly to ones belt and does not fall off. The Treo 650 is oriented parallel to the bend in your hip that keeps if from snagging on other objects such as chair arms or seat belts. The Treo is easy to access via the magnetic closer. I orient the antenna to the back (it can be done either way). The plug-in opening on the end of the Treo facilitates lifting the end of the Treo for extraction from the pouch. This is the best cell phone belt attachment that I have ever used.

This is the Palm OEM version and fits great and looks as good. After 3 months, no issues at all. Also has two small pockets for SD cards which is not noted in the ad. Great value, about 40% less than what Palm was selling it for.

I bought this case to replace an old horizontal leather case I used with my old Treo 650. But now that I have a 700p, I thought I would also purchase a new case for it. The case is made out of good quality leather and the stitching is also done nicely in white to give the case some contrast from the pure black leather. It's subtle and looks professional. There are two small pockets inside the case that holds SD memory cards if you need it. The flap uses a magnetic locking mechanism to keep the case closed. It is different from other magnetic closures in that the entire flap is a magnet and makes it very easy to close and open the case. This also makes for a very tight closure and I never feel that the phone will pop out of the case and it hasn't happened yet! :)

The only negative for this case is that the phone moves a little bit inside the case. If the size of the case was just a little smaller, it would have a tighter fit. Right now, I will sometimes feel the phone wiggle in there while I am walking down the street. Sometimes I think my phone is vibrating but it's actually just moving inside the case.

But overall, I like the build quality of this case and would recommend it to others. I don't think you will find the same quality leather and stitching for the same price online.

I too liked the case. However, my clip fell off after I rode an amusement ride and got it slightly wet. Oops, I reattached it three times, first with glue, then with wire, then with glue and wire only to have it fall apart. I may buy it again--but be sure to keep it out of the rain!

Finding a case for the Treo 700wx is a challenge! I spent hours looking at reviews and trying to decide what would be the best case. In the end, I purchased this case, thinking it would be the best out there (the reviews were very good). Here's what I discovered:

Pros:
1) Very stylish, looks very nice.
2) Easy to insert and remove phone when needed...so unlike other cases that fit over the entire phone, it isn't difficult to press certain keys (such as the Q or P buttons) when you want to type.
3) Small pouch inside the case to hold SD cards, credit cards, etc.

Cons:
1) The belt clip is very tight and very hard to attach to a belt - I don't even attempt to attach the belt clip while the phone is in the case for fear of damaging the phone...it hasn't ruined my belt yet, but I'm waiting for that to happen...
2) You cannot use Windows Media Player while it's in the case...I was hoping that I could go for a walk and place the phone within the case and walk with it. However, since I have so far not found a way to lock the keys without turning the phone off, the volume gradually increases as I walk, making for a rather painful experience...
3) A bit bulky...not good for bending over while on your belt...

In the end, I bought another case. However, that case was even worse than this one because it broke after a short period of time. I gave it a 3-star rating because it's nothing more, in my opinion, than an average case for a Treo. I still have yet to find a good case, so in the meantime, I'm using this one (seeing that the other one broke). However, there needs to be a better case that will truly protect the Treo screen and buttons while at the same time making it accessible for use.

This case has worked out well for me. It holds the phone nicely and had a little room for business cards, money or something else slim. The clip holds nice and tightly to my pants or belt and I've had no trouble with it slipping or opening.

great sturdy case with strong magnetic closure leather is good quality
what more is there to say?

Firstly I am a med student who is constantly accessing my Treo to look up stuff. I wear it on my scrubs and it has yet to fall off in over a month. I wear it under surgical gowns with no problem. I have had other cases that fell off every time I went to grab my phone.

The case itself is professional looking and rather unassuming. It is constructed of seemingly high quality leather (for the price, this is not Coach). The magnet is relatively strong but very easy to open with a single finger if need be. I have not found it to be too roomy as some reviewers have. In fact my treo fits just fine. Then again I am not running or jumping up and down all the time with my phone attached to my belt.

Overall I think I paid like 7 bucks for this thing and it has worked out very nicely.

I recommend the product.
