Well put together but badly designed. September 14, 2006
Spry Crisp & Dry
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Bought this case for my Zire 31, the zire fits very snugly into the case and the case does its job in protecting the handheld & easy to clip on belt/carry around, however it fails badly as others have mentioned in the cutouts.
1) You can't use the 5-way navigator button properly, and you can hardly see the power on button.
2) You have to push the handheld up out of the case to get the stylus out.
3) You can't access the headphone socket or the USB socket when in the case.
If you just want this to protect & clip your handheld on to your belt then this is great. But to use my Zire I find I'm just taking it out of the case, so much easier.
Good case for Zire/Zire 21; useless for the Z22 March 7, 2006

A year ago I reviewed this (non-leather, whatever the description may say) flip-case, which was excellent when I was still using my Zire 21. A year later, through no fault of its own, my Zire 21 is well and truly dead (I accidentally knocked it into a sink of water - good tip for what not to do to PDAs!), and I now have a Z22. The flip case has had to be consigned to the bin (after about 9 months of hard use the press-stud closure broke, but this is not why it got binned as it could have easily been used without the fastening) as it simply isn't suitable for the Z22, which is an entirely different design.
The Zire and Zire 21 were basically the same PDA, at least on the outside, with all of the buttons etc. identically placed. The Z22 is a much-updated version, with an entirely new design - good design, I must add, but very different to the Zires. It is a bit smaller so does not fit snugly in this case and, as all the buttons (especially the on/off button) are in different places, it is essentially useless as a case for the Z22.
I can still recommend it to people who are using Zires and Zire 21s, though not as whole-heartedly as when it was cheaper, then it was a real bargain as well as being a good design.
 Not for Palm Z22! February 7, 2006

This product, contrary to its description, is not designed for the Z22. The pouch is too big, the on/off button cannot be used in a normal way, the central 5-way navigation button and the address book button are partially covered. This all makes use of this product very awkward. A real Z22-taylored version would be welcome as it is otherwise a fine & sturdy case.
No hole for on/off switch... January 24, 2006

This is quite a neat little case, but it has two main drawbacks - first off there isn't a hole or aperture to get at the on/off button on the Z22, so you have to take it out of the case to turn it off.
Second, as previously mentioned, the cut out holes do not line up with the function buttons at the bottom edge of the Z22. You can almost always make it work, but it's not ideal, and you might feel that the cost is a little too high for a less than perfect product.
It is sturdy enough to protect the Z22 all right but there is a lump sticking out of the back where you attach the pocket clip which some might find a bit off putting.
OK for the price, not ideal for Z22 January 17, 2006

This pretty well made for the price but the cut out holes do not overlay the Z22 controls correctly, although you can just about use the buttons. I thought this was a manufacturing error at first so I returned it for a replacement and found that they're all like that. The screen cut out is fine so the case is still useable and there isn't another option I can find that's anywhere as good a price but they need to update the design to take account of the new Z22 layout. Not sure about the previous comments about it not being leather. The packaging doesn't say, I think that the main cover is leather and the trimmings are probably something else, it certainly doesn't feel like it's as cheap as the price would indicate.
