The SkinTight cover is cool. Works pretty well with the unit, but the belt clip SUCKS! It's big and bulky and locks in over the mute switch on the Treo and it sometimes slides the mute switch over to mute or vise versa.

I was looking forward to the Speck rubberized cover with some excitement, however I was disappointed. While the cover fits very well it and may work in an industrial environment, after the first day it looks like it's two years old. If you have an SD card in your Treo forget it -- the belt clip will pop your card daily. And the belt clip itself is an afterthought easily sliding off your belt. Don't even think about putting the Treo in your pocket as the non-slip cover won't begin to slide into your pocket. Finally, the price at $32.95 is outrageous for a $5 cover. If you're in an industrial enviroment this may be your cover, but for the rest of us...keep shopping or buy insurance.

Overall, I like it. The best part is the flip up screen protector. I have had 2 Zire models and managed to break both screens. My dislike is that I have had it for 4 months and it is no longer form fitting. I have tried to get info on how to shrink it to be tight again, to no avail. As for the SD card issue, I remedied that by carfully opening up the slot with an xacto blade to allow room for the card to clearly eject. To keep from having to take the skin off to reset my treo, I drilled a hole in the back, right through the battery cover to allow for easy resetting when my treo crashes.

Provides great protection for the Treo,

but does add a noticeable amount of thickness,

making it more of a bundle.

The skin is a great idea, but it is not practical. It is too thick to work with the Seidio Cradle I have, so I must pull off the skin to sync my Treo. The skin buttons do not always line up with the TREO buttons, so I misfire applications. The holster is a joke as it snaps over top the expansion card slot constantly ejecting the card every time I pull the phone off the holster. Do not place the phone in your pocket with the skin on unless you need to see the inside of your pocket liner as it will not come out cleanly!

The skin is very useful, but can be improved on ways to put it on and take it off.

I'm not really a gadget guy, and what gadgets I do have get pretty beat up. When the company gave me a Treo 650 so I can "stay in touch", I needed to at least take care of the thing. So, I bought this skin from Speck Products. Its is absolutely awesome!

No more dings or scratches. I'm a minimalist and for that, the Treo 650 Skin is perfect! A cool look, not bulky. Easy access to the buttons. They did their homework on this product.

A must have for anyone who owns a Treo 650. I also see they have these for the Blackberries.
