2.0 out of 5 stars Its ok, but I am sure there is something better, April 8, 2005

This review is from: PalmOne 3208WW Tungsten E and Zire Essentials Kit (Office Product)

Bought this to go with my Zire 31. The case fits well - although the cover itself is just a flap - no closure. For carrying around in an outside pocket on my purse its ok. If it were just another piece of floatsam in my suitcase of a purse, I can't imagine it would do much good. Its a little difficult to get the stylus out of the back when the Zire is in the case, but not impossible.
The stylus is cool - a blackpen, an orange pen, a pencil and stylus all in one. It took me a few minutes to figure out exactly how to switch from one to another - but I managed. The screen protectors are ok - nothing spectacular. Don't follow the lines printed on the screen cover when you trim them to fit your PDA - the lines for my Zire 31 are a bit small.
All in all, this is ok - but I think next time I will try to find a better case. I would advise any PDA noobs to buy the PDA, take it with you to a store that sells cases and pick one out from there.

The Essentials kit was very nice. Screen protectors are very nice to have. The case provides good protection without the hassle of velcro or snaps. The pen/pencil/stylus is a very cool product. You just tilt the pen with the pic of what tip you want facing up and click. A good all around kit.

This review is from: PalmOne 3208WW Tungsten E and Zire Essentials Kit (Office Product)

I've had the palm kit for over 2 years and the case is now starting to break on the edges from flipping it open anytime I use it. This is from normal use and not from even flipping the case open and holding it open. It seems the edge of the case is re-enforced with a piece of wire and the leather has worn away on both sides and exposed the wire to the point where it has broken on both sides.

The stylus/pen thing is not very useful and is a bad design. I'm not really sure which function I'll get when I turn and push down the button on top.

As for the screen protectors, I can tend to be a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to having no bubbles under the clear coat but that wasn't even the thing I was most disappointed with. I was going through a new protector almost every month because it would get more and more difficult to write in the same spot due to the wear on the protector. In the end I bought a Boxwave screen protector and I am much happier. Although the Boxwave screen protector is more expensive then all the other screen protectors, the one protector I have had for a little over a year is still going strong.
