It makes sense though!

I had no way of really measuring it, so that is why I took very closeup pictures of the sides especially, so you could see for yourself how much it did or didn't add to the thickness.

I *loved* the 2 different Vaja cases I have had in the past. I only wish that they had released a decent case for the Zire 71! There *is* a Zire 71 case, but it's a slip case, so you can't *use* the palm while in the case :-( Diego Good review!

My Vaja TT case is the same way, and I soon noticed wear marks on the Palm where the cards rest. The problem can be avoided by tucking the cards into the business card pocket behind the card slots - of course, it's a bit late now! :( I notice you mentioned that when SD cards are placed in the slots, they rest against the top edge of the T3 (above the screen).

I just change handhelds to much and can't afford a new Vaja each time. I have a question, what are the white strips on the T3 in the pictures? I have had alot of cases but a VAJA is my favorite.
