1.0 out of 5 stars bad experience, June 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: PalmOne Zire/Zire 71 Slim Leather Case (Office Product)

This case somehow kept the Zire 71 powered on and soon completely depleted the battery, causing all the data to be deleted. This happened twice in two days, then I realized it was the case that caused this. I went back to using the little case that came with the device and then there was no problem. I do not recomment this case.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but not practical, October 15, 2003

The case is very nice, it has a very elegant design and it is easy to access the device. But...there is a very big problem, somehow, whenever the palm turns on while the case is closed (for example: to warn you of an appointement)something in the case keeps the screen pressed, not allowing the palm to turn off after the programed minuts. It makes you run out of batteries completely and then you have to reset your palm loosing all you data (that you can luckly sync back from your PC).
It's not practical. I wish it worked better....the design is very nice!

While this carrying case doesn't smell of rubber with rotten oranges baked inside, I saw expecting it to be a little nicer. The Zire is held in place by an included velcro strip that is stuck to the back of unit like a sticker. At [$$] retail, I was expecting a carrying case like my friends Visor which has snaps to hold it in. It's fine for now, although I would have liked the blue carrying case better if it wasn't for that horrible smell.
