The Case To Get!!

User: Deshawn Detroit, Dec 22, 2006

Pros:	Hard shell
Cons:	No opening for headjack connection

I've had several cases since previously owning a 650. I currently own a 700p and I must admit that I've never had a better case.

works great!

User: Brandon Scott, Jan 15, 2007

Pros:	-
Cons:	no space for headphone jack

i've never experienced the rub marks that Donald Albers has had. my case has saved my 650 from many accidental drops from waist-height. my treo would surely have suffered an early death had it not been for this jewel.

Great case - not so great clip

User: Gary August, Mar 29, 2007

Pros:	Protects very well
Cons:	Clip is becoming unreliable

While I love the overall quality, fit, and function of this case, I am starting to become concerned about the belt clip. The clip has become looser over time. I had to remove the clip from the case to re-bend it back into shape a couple times, and with each removal/re-bending, it seems to become less and less able to function properly. It is only a matter of time before I am forced to replace the case. I doubt I could just find the clip. As to the case itself, I have experienced the rub spots and assume it will rub through eventually, however, I see that as normal wear and tear. I have bumped into a number of things over the past 6 months, and this hard case has been a trooper.

Great case, latch closure needs re-design

User: Keith Lowrey, Apr 4, 2007

Pros:	sturdy, protective case, complete encloses Treo 750
Cons:	Closure latch/mechanism needs redesign

I have purchased two of these cases for my Treo 750. I wanted enclosed and solid protection for the phone. The first case (had the antenna opening for other Treos) had two design flaws. The belt clip became too lose to remain secure on my belt and case would easily came off when I removed my jacket. Second problem was the latch mechanism for keeping the case shut. It was very easy to open and would tend to open accidently and the phone could drop out of the case.

I took the first case back to a Palm dealer and complained. He replaced it with a case specifically designed for the Treo 750 and had a belt clip that had a black plastic adpater attached, which was designed to lock under a belt and hold the case securely on the belt. A very good design change that resolved the problem of the case detaching from my belt.

However, the poorly designed latch mechanism that should keep the case securely shut is still part of the case assembly. The case can still easily open and the phone can pop out of the case accidently and may land on a hard floor surface, thus ruining the phone. Now I must place a wide rubber band around the case to ensure that the phone case will not inadvertently open.

So come on Palm! Let's get back to the drawing board. If you would like, I am willing to design mechanism that will ensure the case remains closed until the phone is needed. Great phone and still needs a great case.

Just my humble opinion.

I like this case, but it needs more padding inside...

User: Greg Isaacs, Jan 14, 2008

Pros:	protection, side viewing
Cons:	the inside rubs the phone

I really like this case. It looks very proffessional & protects my phone very well. I can put my phone down & not really worry about damage. I love the fact that I can open the case & view who is calling me or get information just by opening the case & looking at the phone even while it is on my hip & if the case accidentally opens, it opens in a way that cradels the phone. Its not fallen out yet at all.

My major problem is that the "protective" lining inside the phone wears out very fast. I have had it for about 5 months & I have noticed some "rubbing" where the hinges meet on the inside & the plastic arms that hold the phone in place. I have taken some velour padding & started to make my own padding because I do not really care to see rub marks on my phone.

All in all, this is a great case, but If I cannot get the rubbing to stop, I will probably find a new case.

	This case will damage your Treo
User: Donald Albers, Nov 12, 2006

I purchased this case very shortly after it was introduced. After using it for 4 months I noticed four areas on my Treo where the paint had been worn through exposing the white plastic underneath. These places were where the case cradles the Treo and also where the hinge rubs against the Treo next to the side button. I alerted Palm to the bad design of this product and they basically told me to get lost. If I didn't care about nasty looking dings on my Treo I wouldn't have shelled out $34 for a case to protect it.

Another BAD experience!

User: Keith Lowrey, Apr 15, 2007

Pros:	enclosed hard case with no openings and should protect the Treo 750,
Cons:	Poor design and very cheap metal belt and case clips

I was on my second hard case for my Treo 750. I want a hard, durable case that will keep shut so as not to allow the phone to fall out and also for the phone case to remain attached to my belt.

The belt clip is made of such cheap metal that it is not strong enough to retain its shape to keep the case on a person's belt. It soon becomes loose and will not keep attached to your belt. The case can easily slip off your belt and the case can land crashing on the floor.

The next design flaw is that the case clip mechanism which should keep the case closed until you open it to retrieve your phone IS ALSO MADE OF CHEAP metal and soon weakens to the point that it can open with the slightest touch.

Both of these cheap design problems occurred to me all at the same time. My phone case came off my belt as I was hurrying in an airport to catch a flight. The case crashed down on the floor and then the case opened up and let my phone go flying down the floor between bording gates. Now the phone is damaged.

Palm should be ashamed of this problem. It could easily be fixed.
