Palm TX Armor Case - The Metal Case (Black) Reviews
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. If I stick too many receipts in the back of the case the catch won't catch.
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. Possible downside. The catch that holds it closed works well, not hard to open (though with two hands).
If you use it turned the other way (my preference) the case sits nicely in my hand for writing-awesome. I've even dropped it a few times.
Never used the belt clip, I've had terrible luck with those things no matter what they're attached to (phone, ipod, whatever.).
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. 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. It is somewhat difficult to open, though, that's why I give it 4 stars. I've used mine for a month and I haven't have any problem with the plastic hinges that others described.
You can charge and synch the Palm without open this case, unlike the original one. It has a back opening for the tiny speaker, so I think you can hear alarms louder. It does not rattle the Palm because it fits snuggly, unlike the original case. I do recommend it.
and. The hinge-pin starts to work its way out and I have to push it back in every few days 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.
The belt clip is kind of worn out. I ran over it with my snowblower and it came out the shoot and hit the wall. This story tops them all. 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. It's kind of banged up. The other day I got home from work and it was almost dark so I had to hurry and do some snowblowing.
Just had to get a new stylus. I heard a bump sound and didn't realize my Palm fell off the belt clip. I didn't realize it until I dug it out of the snow two days later. I have dropped my Palm TX over and over with the Palm TX case. The springing thing won't hold it very well any more. The TX was gaping open and the stylus was broken in half.
Bought two of these and it always breaks in the same place after several months of use, if not sooner. I had a Rhino case before on another Palm and it looks as if I will have to try that or a leather one again. It invariably breaks after several openings/closings, if not before. Other reviewers have had the same experience. It is flimsy and not detailed properly re. interface with the metal case itself. The problem lies with the plastic slide where you attach your Palm.
