Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Our slim case, made from premium leather, is designed to complement the clean, sleek design of the Palm i705 handheld. Compact in design, with plenty of storage, the case has three slots for business and credit cards, an inside pocket for cash or notes, storage for expansion cards, and a sturdy loop closure to keep it all together.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not all that slim..., March 31, 2002

There's nothing really WRONG with this case, other than Palm's calling it "slim" - it isn't. There is a rigid spine coming out from the back of the case - at the end of this spine is a flexible connector where you attach the i705. At least in the one I have, this spine is so tall that it adds a good quarter inch or more of wasted depth to the hinge side of the assembled unit - it looks "dorky".

I'm also not a fan of the strap and loop closure mechanism that Palm likes to put on its cases. Also, it is difficult to put your i705 in its cradle when in this case.

On the other hand, the leather is nice, it does hold four memory cards (in slots behind the i705) and can also hold three credit cards and some bills behind a flap. It also should do a good job of protecting the i705 in your pocket.

I would say that the primary advantage of this case is that you can buy it now - look for other Palm accessory makers to chime in with their own cases soon - some already have.

3.0 out of 5 stars not the best effort, December 21, 2002

The leather is nice ... and the places to hold expansion cards is nice ... but ...

What is not nice is the size of this unit ... it protects tha palm ok ... but in doing so makes the case bulky ... it takes a rather slim i705 and makes it big and bulky ... there had to be something better in the design minds out there ... something leather that is half the weight and size ... and something you dont have to take the cover off every time you put it in its cradle ...
