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.

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.

The case is nice. and the screen protectors are handy. Very nice that the lines are marked on them for the differet pda sizes to cut down to.

The "stylus" is more like a junky leftover from the 80's. no way of telling or chosing which stick is going to come up. there is no stylus, just a pen with no ink which is difficult to discern from the pen that does have ink.

It comes nowhere close to fitting in the stylus slot, or anywhere on the case itself... AND why would you need a pencil, pen, and yellow crayon for your pda....

...this item in this package has me totally befuddled.

was not satisfied the description staed that there were several screen protectors only one was received

I love the Tungsten E2. Got a great deal through Amazon and was able to purchase a nice leather case with extra stylus' and screen protectors(called a Zire Essentials Kit) for what I would have paid at the store as I got free shipping! :) Easy to use and I don't find it a problem to use with the screen protectors as I had read on another review. I am constantly finding out something new that it does to make data entry easier (hint...take the tour first :). It may take you a while to get it all set up with everything (I'm still inputting addresses, etc.) but the calendar works great, syncs super fast with my computer and makes our lives easier. The only down side is that you can't print your calendars color coded as they appear on your computer or handheld....but they assure me they are working on an update to fix this. Of the three models Palm offers, this is the middle one. It does what I needed without all the extra gadgetry that I am not up to speed on yet. Maybe I will move up when I get another someday, but for now, this one is perfect for me. Get one!!

I ordered this close to Christmas and it was delivered w/i 4 days. Great service!

Excellent product in mint condition and accessories very helpful. I love this product and I can use it with a bluetooth as well, my next purchase. Received very quickly, within 3-4 days!

The case fits my organizer very well. It doesn't make it any bulkier either. Nice case.

Has all the essentials. Not much use for the pen/stylus. Wish it had replacement styluses (or is it styli).
