My only gripe is that the case essentially doubles the thickness of the TH55. I initially loved this Clie because of its size. In a perfect world, I would be able to replace that hard plastic flip cover with a leather cover, like those of Palm m515s. That way I’d regain the form factor, and at least have some semblance of protection (and not have to worry about scratching that plastic flipcover every time I put some keys in my pocket.

Brando sent the case out and I received it in NY city within 3 days. The first screw that’s supposed to hold the belt clip on didn’t fit, and a new one was sent within 3 days! Excellent customer service.

“The flip style case comes with an optional black plastic belt clip post, screw and clip. For those of you wanting to wear the case on your belt, you just need to screw the post into the brass fitting on the back side of the case with a Phillips screwdriver. Since the post is made of plastic, it is conceivable that tightening the screw too much might crack the post. The actual belt clip is the typical plastic rotating pinch type.”

That paragraph comes from another Brando case review that I wrote:

It shows a picture of the post.

You may want to try out the Pdair/Proporta case for the TH55. It has the same sled type of holder but it is much easier to insert and remove the pda. In addition, because the bottom clips are narrower than the Brando, you can still access the reset button with a reset pin.

I also noticed that with the Brando, I was never able to get the TH55 into the post in the middle of the case. Because of this I was never able to open the memory stick door while in the case.

I am looking forward to seeing what Sena and Vaja will come up with for the TH55!
