This review is from: PalmOne PalmGlove Neoprene Case for Palm III (Black) (Office Product)

With the world getting more and more connected, and everyone buying PDAs and their accessories, it's important to most of us (the smart ones) to protect our investments as much as we can. I bought a PalmIIIe a while back, and wanted (needed) to get some sort of case that would be practical and protective. Well, I have the "leather belt clip holder" and thought I'd get the PalmGlove case for when I was out with friends or being "active". I had planned on using the belt clip case while I was working for a "proffessional" look, but it turns out I don't use the leather one any more at all!

This PalmGlove case is durable, (It looks great even though I've had it for a few months of constant use) it protects (I dropped the Palm on the ground once and it didn't feel it) and it has even taken the place of my wallet (the pockets on the inside hold all that I need). Even at work, this case feels and looks VERY nice and people have complimented me on the case alone.

However, be forwarned, I found it necessary to keep the plastic cover of the Palm attached as the case's inside window pocket kept turning on the device while the case was closed. No big deal, though, for me, because I'm not bothered by the fact that along with opening the case I have to (oh no!) flip the cover up as well. I'm not that lazy.

One more thing. In order to keep the Palm in the case while it's open, you have to attach some strong Velcro strips across the back of your PDA. These strips are included and I only needed to use one of them, but if you are the type of person that is fearful of depreciating the value of their Palm with some "sticky-velcro-tape", I'd advise against the PalmGlove. But if you DO decide to buy this case and then, down the road get another one, taking off the sticky residue that I can only assume will remain, shouldn't be too hard if carefully done with some cleaner and a small rag.

This case is the best one that I have come across and considering I work in the "Internet Field" and I see A LOT of PDAs and their cases, the PalmGlove should be the case for you or anyone to get.

I am a college student who's always on the go, and I was in the market for a case that can stand up to the bumps and drops that come my way. This case does just that. The case is padded and insulated all over, so you will not fear that bumping and dropping the case against hard surfaces would damage your precious investment in a Palm. Moreover, the case allows you to keep the flip cover as an added protection to your screen. The fit, even with the flip cover, is just right. The velcro attachment is also very secure, so you don't have to worry about a Palm crashing to the ground unexpectedly.

I usually put my Palm in my coat pocket last winter and spring. Summer posed a problem, but I got around it by attaching a key chain to the zipper and hooking it to my belt strap. It work perfectly, and the zipper enclosure holds up to the stress of the Palm's weight even as I walk fast...

Overall, this product is a must-buy as a protection for your investment in Palm

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice case. Wish it had a belt clip, September 20, 2000

This review is from: PalmOne PalmGlove Neoprene Case for Palm VII & III (Royal Blue) (Office Product)

I just got the case. It has a nice feel to it and is very well constructed. I'm happy with the purchase. This price is very good.

Pros

Heavy Duty Zipper.

Well made.

Great protection.

Stylish

Cons

No belt clip. I don't really miss it but it would be nice to free up my hands and stick it on my belt. (but then again, I will look less like a geek.)

Makes Palm III more bulky. Difficult to keep in pocket.

Not much room inside to store anything besides a business card and a couple of scraps of paper.

Velcor mount for Palm III not very secure.
