The Neoprene PalmGlove Case is aesthetically pleasing and also extremely practical. I bought mine on the recommendation of someone who has one: he dropped his onto the pavement and into a puddle. His PDA was fine. On the plus side, it is compact. It is padded, but doesn't take up much more room than your PDA (in my case, a Handspring Visor). There is an ID window and one slot inside, as well as a holder for an extra stylus. Some may see the fact that there's no room for anything else as a negative, but I got my Visor to eliminate lugging around address books and notepads, etc. Why confuse the issue? Probably the only negative is the lack of a clip or belt loop or even a strap. But, given the price of other PDA carriers, this is an excellent value for money.

I have had my PalmIIIe for a month, and this case has saved its life twice. The first time i left it in my tent all day while camping, and it got really wet. The case, however, has a water-resistant inside, and spared the life of my palm. The second time it fell off my kitchen counter, a fall that cracked my freinds screen. The padded case once again saved the day. It also has a nifty spot on the inside for money or whatever, and I use it as my wallet. The price is very reasonable, too (Look at the prices of some other cases) And it is by far the best looking.

P.S.--My freind with the cracked screen bought one soon after!

I just got my Palmglove (and a 3-pack of the nice metal stylus)in the mail today, and I love it. It seems to be really well made (no unfinished edges or leftover sewing threads)and very sturdy protection for my Palm IIIxe. Though it provides plenty of protection by itself, the great thing about it is that it holds the unit very snugly with or without the flip top attached -- a plus if you want extra protection for the screen. Not too bulky, a pretty sporty package. Like other reviewers, I think a belt clip would complete the package.

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.
