Fits like a glove

User: Jim Stuckey, Dec 12, 2007

Pros:	Size, magnetic latch, quality
Cons:	none

This case is perfect for my Treo 680. Three years ago I had a Covertec case which worked very well. The only downside was that if I had to briefly jog or run (across a parking lot, out of the rain, etc..), my Treo would bounce up and down in the case. It didnt fit snugly.

This case closes perfectly around the Treo, allowing no room for movement - it always feels secure. At the same time, it slides out very easily when needed (although you need to break in the leather a bit - its a tight fit initially). The case is no bigger than it needs to be, which is good - most of the time I forget its even on my belt. I keep the phone on vibrate most of the time and I usually have no problem feeling it thru the case.

Great case - you cant find better in my opinion!

	Well-made, but awkward
User: Treo 650 User, Dec 18, 2006

This case is very well-made - good quality materials, nice stitching, and fit. The problem is that it's awkward to get the phone out of the case quickly when you get a call. You need to open the flap, then push the phone up from the opening in the bottom of the case - not that quick or easy, even with practice.

Mediocre

Pros:	Tight hold on your Treo, well made, small footprint
Cons:	Not easy to take out, turns sound on/off, ejects SD Card

This is my first pouch that I decided to try after going through 3 Holsters.

Pros:
The pouch is well made, and fits nicely on your belt. It hugs device tightly and feels very secure (my device was flying out of the holsters couple of times a week before). The device is well protected from scratches, falls etc. The pouch material feels good in the hand.

Cons:
Not an easy task to take out your device from the pouch especially when you need to do it fast. It is very awkward to do it with one hand. You will pretty quickly discover that you need two hands to do this, and it is a big annoyance to me, since I'm used to to taking phone out with my right hand from the holsters that I owned prior to buying this pouch.
On several occasions when the phone rings and you need to take it out quickly, the side of the pouch would brush up against the screen and hung up on the call.
When taking device out the best way to do it is to push up on middle of device from the bottom opening of the pouch to push device half way out. If you try to take it out by holding it by its radio antenna and pulling one side of it out of the pouch, more often then not, it would either switch sound selector to off, and/or eject your SD card from the slot. Same way goes for putting device into the pouch. If you begin pushing end side of device first and then top side (where radio antenna is), you will end switching your sound off. Doing it this way, also makes device constantly rub against the inner lining of the pouch which I'm sure eventually will cause rapture of it. I guess this is because the pouch is made to hug device like a glove hugs the hand. It is quite a tight fit.

Conclusion:
With time this pouch kind of grows on you, and you get used to it. Once you figure out the most convenient way for yourself to get device in and out of the pouch without switching the sound off and ejecting external media card, I guess you can live with it. My device took a few hard falls in the past when I used holsters (Treos are quite durable devices I must admit) and the fact that it feels quite secure on your belt is probably more important than being able to take device out from the pouch with one hand.
