This case is very nice but it has one flaw. The stylus is difficult to remove while the palm is in the case.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inside is a matter of taste, September 22, 2000

In contrast to the Palm M100 slim leather case which uses only velcro to hold the PDA in place, this case has a leather framework into which the PDA slides. The leather has openings for the screen and buttons. I find this design a bit less appealing visually and wonder if the openings will be prone to getting caught and torn. Either of these two approaches are different from the clear and rather sturdy plastic used to hold the PDA in place with the Palm Glove design. It's really all a matter of taste. So far my friends have each chosen different cases with no duplication. Wise of Palm to offer so many choices.

Others have already mentioned the one other feature that may be a flaw -- that the stylus is difficult to remove unless the case is fully opened. The leather quality on this particular case is, however, quite nice and the case does work very well for those who want to carry their M100 on a belt. Note that the the case stays closed with velcro as does the belt loop (making it adjustable).

3.0 out of 5 stars Adequate case, May 23, 2001

To be truthful I never wanted to buy a case for my Palm m100 in the first place, but the hinges on the plastic flip cover that came with it broke apart after only 3 months. Because I could not find a replacement part, in order to have my Palm protected I had to buy a case. I am not overjoyed with this product, but it is adequate and does the job that it was designed to do.

All of the complaints about this product are true. The Velcro is small and it can be difficult to close the cover on the case, the stylus is difficult to remove unless the cover is flipped all the way open, the stitching is of poor quality and does not look like it will last. Another irritating that I have discovered is that the opening seems to be off a little bit. It covers up the screen a little bit at the top.

However, the nice thing about this case are that is made of very nice leather and the Velcro beltloop is very convenient. With this case strapped to my belt, I usually remove the Palm from the case without removing the case from my belt in order to use it. I have taken to using the case more as a belt holster. This way, the problems of the stylus and the mismatched opening are not a problem. This is the manner that I would recommend using this product.

Why 3 stars?: I feel the case was poorly designed and will far apart and be unsatisfying in the long run. However, using it as a holster is very convenient and attractive - even if it does a little bit of bulk.
