I was disappointed with this case. First off, the "latch" takes too long to open and close. I should be able to whip the case out of my pocket and be able to open it with one hand. A thin button snap would have been ideal. Second, the case is too small for the Zire. It seems like the covers should have been a quarter inch wider to cover the edge of the Palm. As it is, the case leaves the edge of the Zire poking out and looks sloppy. A button snap may have helped this problem, too. It's been said before, but let me reiterate: adhesive velcro?!?! Come on! On the plus side, the stitching and leather are very nice. If you have something leaner than a Zire this case might work well for you. | 2 | Today | Nice, but I didn't like the velcro!
I like the compact case. It is working great for me, but I do nont like that my Zire 71 is attached to the case with velcro. I was not crazy about sticking it to the back of my Palm... call me picky. The other thing is, that now I have expansion cards and nowhere to put them. If you think that by any chance you are going to get expansion cards, you might check out some other cases. | 4 | Today | Good for students!
Before I bought this case, i read some reviews about it. Some claim that the case closes too tight and then it presses the on/off button of the handheld. In my particular case, that was not true. The handheld works perfectly with the case, no matter if it is tight. Perhaps the trick of a correct usage is the following: you must attach the rubber seal to your handheld in such a way that the handheld is mostly placed rightwards. Under this condition, there will not be any problem with the power button. It does not look bad: quite the contrary, the case is very elegant and protects your handheld. And in the States or in any other free country, the price shown in amazon.com is excellent. Here in Mexico we must pay 500,- pesos for the case in a departament store. This is more or less the equivalent to 45 US dollars! I hope this information will be useful to you in order to make a smart shopping! | 4 | Today | Keeps Turning the Power On
If you are investing in a PDA, you have to buy a case to protect your investment.....just not this one. We couldn't figure out why the Zire 71 kept running out of batteries within 24 hours. At first, we thought the Zire was defective. Eventually, we realized that the Zire screen was on a lot. Apparently, when the case it loaded with credit cards and such, it presses against the Zire 71's "joystick" which causes the PDA to turn on. If you have this item in your purse or a bag, pressure on the case will often turn the Zire 71 on. I don't recommend this item. We are still looking for a replacement and using this one because we have to. | 2 | Today | Nice, but not practical
The case is very nice, it has a very elegant design and it is easy to access the device. But...there is a very big problem, somehow, whenever the palm turns on while the case is closed (for example: to warn you of an appointement)something in the case keeps the screen pressed, not allowing the palm to turn off after the programed minuts. It makes you run out of batteries completely and then you have to reset your palm loosing all you data (that you can luckly sync back from your PC). It's not practical. I wish it worked better....the design is very nice! | 2 | Today | Protect your Palm Zire!
Velcro keeps the Zire securely in place. The inside also has room for credit cards. My only complaint is the strap that holds the unit closed does not have any kind of clasp. The strap merely tucks under the buckle. | 4 | Today | bad experience
This case somehow kept the Zire 71 powered on and soon completely depleted the battery, causing all the data to be deleted. This happened twice in two days, then I realized it was the case that caused this. I went back to using the little case that came with the device and then there was no problem. I do not recomment this case. | 1 | Today | It doesn't smell, but that's not the problem.
While this carrying case doesn't smell of rubber with rotten oranges baked inside, I saw expecting it to be a little nicer. The Zire is held in place by an included velcro strip that is stuck to the back of unit like a sticker. At [$$] retail, I was expecting a carrying case like my friends Visor which has snaps to hold it in. It's fine for now, although I would have liked the blue carrying case better if it wasn't for that horrible smell. | 3 | Today |
