3.0 out of 5 stars
Great... for lefties, June 2, 2004
This review is from: PalmOne Zire 72 Hard Case P10968U (Office Product)
This case is quite sturdy, nice-looking, and the zire fits very snugly. The sliding cover over the camera is very nice. However, the thing is practically impossible to hold in your left and hand and use. The cover swings to the left, leaving nowhere to put your hand to hold it. Fine if you just use it at your desk (or if you're a leftie), but then why do you need the hard case? The other problem is there's no way to attach a belt clip. Again, great if you're only using it at your desk... Why couldn't they just have a screw point on the back, so you could attach a clip or not if you need it? My husband bought this for work, where his pda receives rough treatment in an industrial environment. It does provide the necessary protection, but little other practicality. He had to buy a separate case (a bulky Targus universal case/pouch with belt loop, which the hard case fits into) to carry it around with him. He still hasn't worked out the problem of how he's supposed to hold it. Basically, it lives in the case at work, but comes out as soon as he leaves--not exactly ideal.

Very unconfortable!!!!, November 17, 2004
This review is from: PalmOne Zire 72 Hard Case P10968U (Office Product)
The good thing about this hard case is that it'll protect the handheld. Those who are left-handed will have no problems, but us right-handed will find it very unconfortable. Since it does not fully open,(the picture above that displays as open as it can be) the case will be in your way to hold it. An other thing that I didn't like was that in order to retrive the expansion cards held in the hard case, you have to take off first the handled in order to be able to get the cards.
I wouldn't recommend this hard case if you are right handed

Would not recommend this case, September 20, 2004
This review is from: PalmOne Zire 72 Hard Case P10968U (Office Product)
I was very eager to get this case for my new Zire 72. It's certainly a beautiful case, but not very functional. The front cover doesn't flip all the way under, so that if you're holding it with your left hand, it's difficult to reach the control buttons with your left thumb, as you should be able to. You cannot access the voice recorder button or the slots for the expansion cards unless you remove your zire from the case. Also, the top and bottom are completely open, which provides ready access to the slots, etc, however it does nothing to protect my zire from debris, etc, from the bottom of my purse. Also, the cradle impedes my access to the stylus slightly.
I do like the sliding window in the back that opens so that I can take pictures and video, though.
