Palm Tungsten T Polyurethane Scuba Case

As mentioned, you 'can' place the PDA in the cradle with the case still on, but it is a bit precarious. The real problem is opening the cover to expose the graffiti pad. You 'can' open it when it's in the case but you have to use fingernails and a bit of 'creativity'. OK so far, but the real problem is that after a couple of months of use (and 'creativity' when opening), the clip that holds the device in the case is weakened to the extent that PDA and case become separated whenever I put them in a bag.

Weak.

Firstly, the other reviews are wrong. You can put the Tungsten in the cradle with the case still on, you simply have to slide the bottom part out of the case. This is very similar to most Tungsten T cases. It is a nice case, but the biggest problem is it can be difficult to slide the slider bit down. I have started to use my finger nails at the top of the slider and pull it down. It works for me.

First the good points. The case does have an attractive finish and will increase confidence that your Palm will stay safe from day to day knocks, bumps and carrying around. The case fully wraps around the Palm and has a nice ridged feel to it. Thankfully there is a cutout for for headphone socket and memo button so you can listen to MP3s without having to remove the case.

Now the negative. The case I purchased (I have heard the same from others) has a cheap looking square tin Palm logo instead of the round one pictured which really doesn't add to the premium feel of the Tungsten T. You will have to remove the device if you want to Hotsync using the default cradle, though this is more the fault of the cradle design, so you are likely to have the same problem with any other case on the market. Finally, sliding the Tungsten open is rather difficult whilst in the case. I was hoping for better from an official product - you may find the new aluminium case from Proporta a much better purchase.

Sure, the material of the case is good, but that's about all that is to it.

First of all, it is VERY hard to pull the Tungsten back to expose the drawing area(this is in my opinion not a minor issue). Secondly, it doesn't wrap around to the back when opening the case. This can be very annoying, especially when using it in the car with a pda-car-holder. Thirdly, you have to remove the entire case when putting it into the cradle. And finally, it doesn't allow for any memory storage.
