Leatherskin Case fits Treo with Seido Ultra Extended Battery, sort of
User: Michael Martin, Feb 23, 2007
Pros:
nice quality leather, well made
Cons:
belt clip does not ratchet to hold Treo sideways
When I added the Seidio 3200mAh Ultra Extended Battery to my Treo 650, I was concerned about cases so that I could continue to carry my Treo on my belt. The Sena Leatherskin case does fit on a Treo with the extended battery compartment. The fit is VERY tight and takes a little work. The fit is also not perfect. Once on, you will notice the case warping out on the sides of the touchscreen. You should also be very careful removing the case, as the leather may stretch or break in the process.
I also noticed that the belt clip may "swivel 320 degrees" as stated, but it does not ratchet at all. I like to wear my Treo sideways, not dangling down. This case will not do that for you.
I had hoped to slip my Treo into a Sena Leatherskin case AND still slide it into the Palm Leather Side Case for Treo 650, but that did not work out. The clip stud on the back of the Leatherskin makes the fit too tight. I think that the snap on the Leatherskin case would also make the fit too tight, even if you ordered the clipless version.
In the end, I opted to use the Palm holster and not use the Leatherskin at all. Seems I always end up with the naked look. Why hide such a nicely crafted piece of tech anyway? A screen protector and the Palm Side Case fits the bill. Hopefully THIS review will prevent you from having to go out and spend money on two cases just to find out what works best!
