Makes for a great...
User: John Sperm, Feb 28, 2007
This thing makes for a great condom or plastic wrap alternative when going down on the Mrs. I would recommend it over and over!

Great protection from everything! Fits my Treo like a glove.
Best skin option
User: Jonathan Seder, Oct 31, 2006
Pros:
Secure, lightweight, excellent protection
Cons:
Blocks SD card slot
I've skinned my Treo 650 since the day I bought it, and have tried three different holsters. It was hard to get the phone into and out of my RipOffs holster, but they're out of business now anyway. Then I tried the Seidio skin/holster - the skin was nice, but after a couple of weeks the holster on the spring clip broke right off (my jacket caught the falling phone).
I've had a Skin Tight for eight months, and it's the best solution so far. The holster is quite strong; it holds the phone securely, and the belt clip has a positive lock - so I have (almost) no anxieties about clipping it in the small of my back when I ride my bicycle around town.
The hard, clear plastic screen protector is easily removable but I leave it on -- so I guess on the whole it's a plus. The only negative is the covered SD card slot - you have to twist off the top of the skin to remove or insert a card.
For my money, it's the best way to protect and carry a Treo.
both good and bad

Protects the phone, but the first one I had turned green (it was the clear model) Speck replaced it no questions asked. Blocks the card slot but with filepc2pda I can access it no problem. The problem is the skins memory. If you ever need to reset the phone...say a prayer first.
Would I buy one again, maybe. Definitely not the clear model though.
Good But Could Be Better

Pros:
Protects the phone. Clip stays on your belt.
Cons:
Curved part of holder breaks. Skin stretches.
I've owned 2 of these and they are the best I've found, but not perfect. The curved portion at the top of the holder broke on both within 6-12 months. I've had a black skin and a clear one. The clear one allows the IR signal thru the skin, important since the skins I've had don't have a cutout for the IR port. For the black skin, I had to enlarge the cutout for the sound/vibrate switch on the top of the skin to be able to send IR. Like others have reported, both my skins did stretch over time and the clear skin does take on a greenish color. Overall, I've been happy with the holster, but 2 broken holders is forcing me to try a different holster which accepts a skinned phone--Smartphone Experts holder with the top curved piece on a springed hinge.
