Customer Reviews

Good for this price - glad I didn't pay $30+ retail (2004-06-08)
Decent value for the money. Construction appears a little weak. I can foresee the leather bindings coming apart pretty easily, especially with repeated use, but time will tell. The credit card slots are barely wide enough to fit in a card - very difficult to get in and out of the slots at first. Hopefully this will loosen up with time. And don't plan on putting more than 1 card in each slot if you want to get it out easily - it's a very tight fit. Also, the slots extend clear to the bottom of the wallet which means it is easy for the top of the cards to slide below the top of the slot, making it even more difficult to get them out.

Would recommend, as another reviewer did, to insert the Palm the opposite way of that shown in the photo in order to avoid scratches on the Palm screen from credit cards in the pockets.

Overall - Worth the $7.50 I paid for it, but not more. Functions ok to combine my cards and cash with my Palm in one package, which is what I wanted it for.

Disappointing (2004-01-22)
I bought this cover to protect the screen of my Palm Vx. It does that just fine and is pretty sturdy. This means it's also fairly thick -- the device with the cover on is nearly twice as thick as the device without the cover on.

Another disappointment was the leather clasp. While it does keep the cover shut, the tongue part of the clasp is quite stiff and holds its same position even when the cover is open, blocking the screen, unless I force it out of the way with my pinky as I use device. This is annoying and awkward.

Also, the clamshell nature of the cover means that I cannot place the Palm on its charger without removing the case, stashing it somewhere nearby and adding to the clutter on my desk.

In short, I would recommend getting a flat, flap-style screen cover instead of a clamshell case, if all you're doing is carrying your Palm around in your pocket or purse, unless what I described above actually appeals to you.

Won't fit in Palm Cradle (2002-10-25)
The quality of the product is excellent except that it serves as a big impediment for when you charge on the Palm cradle.
This won't fit inside the Palm Cradle.

Slim or not too Slim (2002-10-12)
Was not slim enough for my pants pocket and was too tight for my credit cards unfortunately. Don't use it.
