Then the belt clip broke. The first problem was with the screw that hold the belt clip would not stay in the case. This case is not worth the money. The last thing was that slide that holds the Palm in the case broke. I glued that in place. Then the clip would not hold onto the case. I would not recommend this case to anyone and would like to warn anyone that might want to try it. Look elsewhere.
If I stick too many receipts in the back of the case the catch won't catch. I carry my palm all the time in my jeans pocket, it goes everywhere with me. I've used this case for over a year now. Possible downside. I've even dropped it a few times. The catch that holds it closed works well, not hard to open (though with two hands). The hinge opens along the long side like a book, so if you use it oriented that way the case kinda gets in the way. If you use it turned the other way (my preference) the case sits nicely in my hand for writing-awesome.Never used the belt clip, I've had terrible luck with those things no matter what they're attached to (phone, ipod, whatever.).
I've used mine for a month and I haven't have any problem with the plastic hinges that others described. I use my Palm in my pants pockets, and I like the fact that it does not get scratches at all, like the Palm original aluminum case. I think that it simply does what the manufacturer says it does, which is to protect the Palm, and in my case I've found that it is so. It is somewhat difficult to open, though, that's why I give it 4 stars. It does not rattle the Palm because it fits snuggly, unlike the original case. It has a back opening for the tiny speaker, so I think you can hear alarms louder. You can charge and synch the Palm without open this case, unlike the original one. I do recommend it.
My TX fit well and is well protected, but-The slide-groove holder is made of grossly inadequate thin brittle plastic and it broke off right away, so the TX may fall out.andThe hinge-pin starts to work its way out and I have to push it back in every few days
I ran over it with my snowblower and it came out the shoot and hit the wall. This story tops them all. It's kind of banged up. I heard a bump sound and didn't realize my Palm fell off the belt clip. Just had to get a new stylus. The belt clip is kind of worn out.
The TX was gaping open and the stylus was broken in half. I have dropped my Palm TX over and over with the Palm TX case. I didn't realize it until I dug it out of the snow two days later. The springing thing won't hold it very well any more. The other day I got home from work and it was almost dark so I had to hurry and do some snowblowing. I snapped it closed and the TX still works fine.
Weird, because my first TX died on me with no bumping around and I got this replacement one under warranty.
