This is a great case for the Palm M100. I bought it with my Palm and am very happy with it. The Palm is held by the case with no problems. It has a plastic window, which covers only the Palm buttons (applications and scrolling buttons).

A total of 3 pockets gives you the ability to put in credit cards or anything else which can fit, but I really don't use them since it looks better only as a protective case for your Palm. One pocket is behind the Palm Glove, another inside and the last one is in the flip cover of the glove. The last pocket, gives you the ability to put in the flip cover of the Palm M100. I didn't have to remove the flip cover from my palm, since it gives you more flexibility to open or close the cover if you use it with the Palm Glove.

The Palm Glove has a snap closure which does not only protect the HotSync port, but does also secure your Palm M100 from any damage.

The case also does not make the Palm M100 more bulky, you can still carry it in you back pocket. But be careful not to forget that you have it there, since you can sit on it and....well....you know the story.

Anyway, I really recommend this case for your Palm. I have read the features and reviews from other cases and I really think this is the best one. I as an owner of it, I guarantee you that you won't regret you bought it.

The Palm Glove is as elegant and clean a design as anyone could wish for. The machine is held in place with a clear plastic window covering the area below the screen. Although sturdy, the plastic in no way interferes with the use of the four application buttons or scrolling buttons.

There's a pocket on the back of the case, another small one on the inside of the top below the window for the time/date, and a final one behind the PDA. The Glove opens up from the bottom and has a snap closure that shuts by folding around the bottom of the case, nicely protecting the Hotsync port from most potential damage.

The case has the standard feel of neoprene and the accents are true black, clear royal, and bright yellow.

The only curiosity to this case is what to do with the flip cover that comes standard with the M100. I've tried sliding it into the top pocket, folding it behind the machine into the inside back pocket and removing it. Have yet to decide whether it should stay or go. Right now, it's still on my Palm and not inserted in any pocket, serving as additional protection. As the other case styles do suggest removal of the flip lid, I can only assume that it should stay (somewhere).

This is a terrific protective case. Highly recommended!

One of the neat little features of the Palm m100 is that you can push a button, and the time shows up on the screen. The flip cover that comes with the m100 even has a little window so you can see the time display.

The PalmGlove case tries to maintain this feature by putting a window in the front, and a little tab that, when pushed, hits the button to make the time display appear. however, the design is such that almost any pressure on the bottom of the front of the case activates the time display. if you have this in your purse or backpack or briefcase, you could waste a lot of battery power by accident.

Other than this little battery-wasting feature, the case is pretty nice. So if you have a place to keep it where the button won't get pushed, this cover will work well.

I wasn't sure about getting a case for my M100 as I like its slim size. But, I know BodyGlove from my surfing days and thought a neopreme case may be trick, so I got one, and what a great decision. I shun away from leather cases as they are not as "rugged" as I want, but the Palm Glove is. Not only does it hold the PDA well but it also provides a little more protection in cae you drop it (which I have on several occassions). This case does a good job of absorbing the impact. Well worth the money, although I would recommend the all black version (which I have) as yellow seems like it would get dirty.

I love this case! It has a hidden pocket inside for some "mad money" perhaps and a pocket on the outside for credit/business cards. It offers additional protection without too much bulk.

I can't understand why so many people have had a hard time with the fit of this case. At first, I did have a little trouble with the logo hitting the time display button and with the snap closing easily, but then I realized that everything worked exactly as it should once I slid the flip-top into the pocket meant for it. Now I love the case and am very glad I bought it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it does add quite a bit of bulk to the Palm, but I don't suppose you can get good protection without a little heft. All in all, I think this case is a great value and a good way to protect your investment.

And absolutely necessary to protect your PALM. A very good idea!

I originally bought the Palm Glove case but didn't like it. I bought the Sumdex, which suits me better.

The Palm Glove case was a teensy bit too small for my M125, so I was constantly stretching it and, finally, the stitching blew out. Also, because it didn't fit quite right, the cool little button to show the time was often misaligned.

The second main issue was my fault -- I thought it had a belt loop but it doesn't. (I know, having a Palm organizer on one's belt is the hight of geekiness but that's the best place for it!)

Also, I wish it had a little pocket to hold 2 AAA batteries (the Sumdex doesn't either. It would be a very useful feature.)

If I kept my Palm in a briefcase or jacket pocket, the Palm Glove might be a better choice but if I kept it only those places, I probably wouldn't even use a case.

This is a great product, maybe the best case available for your m100. It's very sturdy and fits like a glove, but it's not too tight like previous reviewers have said. It is meant for the palm, not extra stylus and paper, etc. The only reason it didn't get five stars is that there is no easy way to get the stylus out, but that's primarily an m100 design problem. If you want great function and affordability you will not find a better case than this one.

Weighing in at 4.4 ounces (that's 2.3 ounces less than the Palm VII and 2.4 ounces less than the Palm III), this little PDA is well worth the dollar. Since it runs the same Palm OS, it's compatible with the entire line of Palm devices... But with the added benefit of swappable cases. I know I get tired of that worn out look of the Palm VII and III. Now you can swap them (ala Nokia cell phones) whenever you like. And the price definitely cannot be beat. The only downside is that the screen is slightly smaller (hence my 4 out of 5, I mean.. who wants a smaller screen?), but it's still the best PDA for the price!
