3.0 out of 5 stars velcro on the removable hatch?, January 4, 2000

I like almost everything about this case except for one (near) fatal flaw: the velcro that holds your pilot in the case is required to be attached to the hatch that covers the expansion/memory card port! I often find that upon unzipping my case, the pilot has shifted position and the velcro has remained locked to the hatch, thus REMOVING the hatch. It got annoying after the 100th time. Also, I have big suspicions that this is what caused my palm pilot to do a hard reset and lose all of my information when I was on a trip.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still not the perfect case, but close, July 7, 2000

As a dedicated Palm IIIxe power user, I've devoted as much time to finding the perfect carrying case as I have installing third-party software. This is one of the better ones I've used so far, but still not yet "the perfect case." The leather cover wears well and is smooth for seamless putting in/taking out of your pocket. The full zipper closure protects your Palm, your business cards or paper notes, and prevents your stylus from getting lost if it pops out of your Palm. I do agree with previous reviewers--make this a fraction of an inch larger. I don't use the front flip cover on my Palm, but I know that many people do, and it should be considered into the computations when designing a case. Another flaw that makes this not-quite-perfect is the misplaced Velcro that can pull off your battery cover if you're not careful. You can install your own Velcro if you want--but why should you have to? When will some enterprising case manufacturer come up with a clever-clever design that will hold your Palm secure and safe in a case, yet doesn't involve smacking a great big piece of fuzzy fabric on the back? There's a mint to be made out there for someone who does!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for IIIx!, March 30, 2000

By

This case is great for the IIIx. Unfortunately, it only works for the IIIc if you remove the flip cover. I don't go anywhere without the flip cover, so I switched to a different brand of case.
