I like this case!
I bought this case to replace an old leather case that had worn out and never did provide much protection for the phone. I read the reviews on-line here and was a little skeptical, because of comments about the case not latching shut securely and not being able to wear the case on your left side.

I have found that the problem with the latch is true - you really have to be careful to make sure the case latches shut when you close it. Several times it has come open after I've closed it. Now I find myself checking it each time i close it to make sure the phone does not fall out.

As for being able to wear it on my left side, it does work OK. It's just a little awkward in getting the phone out of the case.

Overall, I am very satisfied. The hard polycarbonate case seems to provide much more protection than the soft leather case I previously had.

okay, but not perfect
I was having problems "phantom dialing" with my leather case and this hard case certainly solves that problem. It's a little tricky to get used to opening it and removing the phone, but not that bad. What I don't like about it is that I prefer to wear my phone on my left side so it doesn't get hooked in the seat belt latch in the car, and that makes the antenna face toward the rear. This makes it a bit harder to remove and replace without dropping the phone. I'm not sure how they could change the design to make it work on either side, but it would certainly work better for me if it did.

Pallm Treo hard case
Best case out there. One hand control and able to view screen with the Treo still in the case. Great protection.

It Is Drop-Worthy
I thought that I didn't need this type of case so I put off buying it. After one almost catastrophic event, I decided not to take any chances. I ordered it and it has saved my Treo more than once.

The complaints over the clip are over stated. The belt clip comes off with some degree of work but it's doable. The clip however is a good tool in terms of being able to be hooked onto a belt or the strap of a shoulder bag for easy carrying. I think this is a good product and well worth the price.

Good protection, could have more features and better clasp
I've used this as a belt case for almost a year. It protects well, but I wish the clasp was a little more secure when the case drops. The phone sometimes comes out after a fall, but the case takes the brunt of the impact. I wish that the case had a hole for the headphone jack, but I haven't gotten around to drilling a hole. The hinges are holding up well even though the open side of the case gets caught on things if I leave it open on my belt while talking on the phone. Would buy this case again and recommend it to a friend.
