When I switched from my Palm V to my new Sony Clie 760c, I wanted to find a slim leather case just like the one I had used with my Palm. This cover is exactly what I was looking for.

It has many of the same features I had known and loved with my Palm; several internal spaces to carry business cards and medical appointment reminders; a secure and easy-to-use leather tongue loop closure; and a slightly padded cover to protect my Clie from the bumps and scrapes of life. It also came with an extra feature which I've found to be very handy -- a pair of mini-slots -- which I'll use to hold my memory stick when I've replaced it (in the expansion slot) with my cool new Clie camera, or to store other memory sticks which contain additional MP3 playlists or Photo Stand (photo) albums, both of which use up a ton of memory.

My only disappointment with the case is that it uses a large 1" x 2" strip of Velcro to attach the Clie -- which is vastly inferior to the slide-on rail system used on the Palm V -- and hardly keeping in step, in terms of style, with the Clie itself (which is very high tech and elegant).

Except for the Velcro attachment, this case is 95% excellent!

This case does the job of carrying around my CLIE, but it is a bit bulky. Sometimes credit cards can fall out of the pockets and that can be a problem. Other PDA carrying devices do a much better job of sealing the PDA off from damage, this case leaves the edges open, and does not stay secure like other metal PDA cases. Sony does not give you an option of going with a metal case, so this is one of the few options available. It will do the job, but don't expect too much of this case.
