5.0 out of 5 stars Super clean design, September 21, 2000

This review is from: Palm PalmGlove - Carrying case - black, yellow (Electronics)

The Palm Glove is as elegant and clean a design as anyone could wish for. The machine is held in place with a clear plastic window covering the area below the screen. Although sturdy, the plastic in no way interferes with the use of the four application buttons or scrolling buttons.

There's a pocket on the back of the case, another small one on the inside of the top below the window for the time/date, and a final one behind the PDA. The Glove opens up from the bottom and has a snap closure that shuts by folding around the bottom of the case, nicely protecting the Hotsync port from most potential damage.

The case has the standard feel of neoprene and the accents are true black, clear royal, and bright yellow.

The only curiosity to this case is what to do with the flip cover that comes standard with the M100. I've tried sliding it into the top pocket, folding it behind the machine into the inside back pocket and removing it. Have yet to decide whether it should stay or go. Right now, it's still on my Palm and not inserted in any pocket, serving as additional protection. As the other case styles do suggest removal of the flip lid, I can only assume that it should stay (somewhere).

This is a terrific protective case. Highly recommended!

2.0 out of 5 stars Badly designed., December 7, 2000

I am baffled by the glowing review, below. The case exhibits the following deficiencies, any one of which would be enough to recommend against it:

When the m100 is in the case, you cannot access the stylus, unless you have a third hand (one to hold the case, one to peel back the rear of the case, and one to extract the stylus. [This, of course, is a consequence of Palm's ill-considered decision to place the stylus at the rear of the unit. What were they thinking?]

The m100 must be forced into the case with great effort.

There is a thick plastic sheet (reminiscent of a spill-proof furniture slipcover) positioned over all of the buttons, interfering with the tactile feedback they provide.

When the m100 is in the case, it is difficult to insert and remove the HotSync cable, as the case's seam partially occludes the slot.

Avoid it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very handy case, March 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Palm PalmGlove - Carrying case - black, yellow (Electronics)

I can't understand why so many people have had a hard time with the fit of this case. At first, I did have a little trouble with the logo hitting the time display button and with the snap closing easily, but then I realized that everything worked exactly as it should once I slid the flip-top into the pocket meant for it. Now I love the case and am very glad I bought it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it does add quite a bit of bulk to the Palm, but I don't suppose you can get good protection without a little heft. All in all, I think this case is a great value and a good way to protect your investment.
