I have owned this case for over a year and it still looks new and people ask me all the time where I got it. It is made so using the phone is the same as without a case and it protects the phone. It is a great product. I dont even need to buy a new one yet!!!
My favorite case thusfar
User: Charko Patterson, Nov 13, 2006
Pros:
Fits almost perfectly, Slim fit, All Keys usable.
Cons:
No SD card opening
I sorry to hear that the other reviewer had such a bad experience with this case, but I have had a very different one.
This case fit perfectly into my Treo 650 from Verizon. A nice, snug fit that was not too tight or too loose. The zipper fits well and the zipper tab is small enough not to bother me. the Microphone and speaker openings are well placed. No one has has a problem hearing me and I can hear everyone just as well as if there was no case on.
The Belt cilp that came with the case is removeable and with it off, the case has a very low profile
The only issuse I have are the fact that I cannot take the SD card out without taking off the whole case, and the edge of the leather makes some of the outer keys hard to press. Also hard to use the stylus on the edges of the screen, but not imposible. For most of my day I only use the 5-way D-pad, so it's not a problem for me.
Overall it is my favorite case, it feels very safe and secure, practially scrach-proof. I have already dropped it about 4 feet above pavement with NO Damage, except a scrach on the antenna (which is not protected)
Love it!

Pros:
Fully protects PDA. No bulk.
Cons:
Screen a "little" difficult to use near the edges.
I am getting ready to buy my third one of these. They are great in terms of protecting my Treo 650. I am a hard user and drop the thing regularly and the unit looks basically brand new. All of my hard wear and tear has been on the case. Yes, some of the cut-outs do not line up "perfectly" but they re pretty darn close. You do have to remove it to insert/remove cards from the slot but so far I have not needed to use that feature. I am addicted to my Treo and this case is partly why - I feel I can really use and somewhat abuse this little workhorse. I use it as my cell phone, keep 1500 contacts in it and have it check my 3 email accounts every 15 minutes automatically 24/7. Plus it is my lockbox key and MLS database - all with me all the time, everywhere. This dependable hardly there case is part of the reason I am so pleased with the Treo product! I find I am replacing it about once a year just to freshen the look a bit. I have a spiffy, more expensive and cuter leather case which I never use. Love this one!!
Great case all around!!

Pros:
Very long lasting
Cons:
Crappy Clip solution
I bought one of these in January of '05 when I bought my treo 650, and I've had it on 100% of the time since. I am just NOW buying a new one as my original is falling apart. It's an overall great case for the money (Sprint sells their ugly case for $40!!!) and I intend to enjoy the second one as much as I did the first.
Almost perfect
User: Dan Galbraith, May 8, 2007
Pros:
Great form factor - adds "softness" to phone, great protection
Cons:
edge of keyboard hard to type
I agree that all the holes don't line up perfectly, but there is an easy fix to that. Use an Exacto knivfe! I *very carefully* open up the earpiece hole just a little bit, as well as the bottom leather opening (for plugging in the sync cable. I actually see the SD card being covered up as a plus - keeps it from accidentally coming out! you normally install them permanently anyway. My only problem is the left side of the keyboard, seems like I cannot keep the window perfectly centered, and so the Q,A and Alt keys are hard to press. Other than that - there is no better case.
