3.0 out of 5 stars Palm T5 Hard Case: So-so, November 12, 2004

I have the new Palm T5 and the hard case from Palm. It is a little big for the T5 and so it rattles if you carry the case in your jacket pocket ( I am a physician and so I carry it in my lab coat pocket). The latch on the case is plastic and is difficult to fasten and looks like it will wear out with time. The two clips inside for storing your digital media cards are too big for the cards supplied by Palm and so they do not stay in place. Overall, a poor product for my use.

1.0 out of 5 stars Crap!, December 28, 2004

This is probably the worst case sold by Palm. It has no access to any ports, buttons, stylus, etc., so every time you wanna use the T5 you have to take it out of the case. It is way too big. And finally, the hinge can rub against the unit!

And $40???

No wonder Palm has been giving them away for free with purchase... I miss the old Palm high-quality cases, such as Palm V, etc.

This review is from: PalmOne 3175WW Hard Case for Palm Tungsten T5 (Office Product)

It took me quite sometime to make a decision in upgrading to the T5 from my reliable Palm Vx. I considered the investment in the hardcase a smart move, given the healthy investment I made in purchasing the T5. The rebate on the case is the only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. When inserting the T5 into the case it appears to be a mismatch. It is not a snug fit at all (it rattles in the case). You have to completely remove the handheld from the case to connect to your power and hotsync cable. You can't retrieve the stylus nor retract or insert a SD card without lifting the handheld from the case. I consider the case nothing more than a mobile carrier for the handheld. Simple design considerations could and would have made the case much more compatible with the hardware it is meant to house. I intend to purchase a Wi-Fi card in the near future. I already realize now that the handheld cannot be in the case if you have the Wi-Fi card inserted. Like I said, the rebate is the only positive when purchasing this (Palm must know that too, hence the rebate).
