Customer Reviews
Fits the PALM T|X perfectly
I was a little hesitant at first after reading two reviews saying it doesn't fit Palm TX. I then called up the tech. support from Palm and they say it should do the job. I got the product yesterday, and to my joy it fits the Palm TX very well, and doesn't block the top portion of the screen at all. For 20 bucks I believe this is the best deal for my Palm TX.
This case works just fine for the Palm T/X...
...even if it does have 'Tungsten' embossed on the front. The leather on the outside is fine cowhide, the seude on the inside helps to keep the T/X from slipping, and the fit to the machine is virtually perfect. The padding is soft and should aid considerably in protecting the T/X. I had considered not purchasing this case based on a couple of reviews I'd read, but I went ahaead and purchased it from Amazon.com anyway.
Out of the box the fit wasn't at all what I'de expected - it was somewhat like I'd read, with a bit of the screen obscured. But, leather stretches, and with just a day of adjusting it with tension I got the case fitting the device like a glove. It's probably true that putting media cards into the case could be a bit dangerous, but I haven't tried it, and can't say anything definitive.
This proves a little patience goes a long way.
Purchased for Palm TX based on the prior glowing reviews.
I purchased this case for my Palm TX, based on the prior glowing reviews. I was looking for a nice book-style case made in soft leather. I recently up-graded from a Palm VX with Palm case.
This case is far from a perfect fit for the Palm TX, which is suppose to be the same size as the Palm T5. The top of my PDA protrudes out of the case about 1/4 of an inch. The PDA would crack if dropped on its plastic top edge. The case blocks the top portion of the screen, making it difficult to access some of the menu options. I find my self constantly removing the PDA from the case to use it. The case is not a good choice for the Palm TX. Also, the leather is too slippery for my taste. I fear dropping the unit. The case has a cheap snap to keep it closed. I don't think the snap will last very long.
After reading the prior glowing reviews, I am scratching my head.
