But it is free, so I don't need to be buying anything else. :) I will go check that out though.

The two pegs on the back that hook into the holes on the back of the t3 broke off today. I think this is because I started taking it out of the case every night to charge it, as I found that the bottom of my T3 had cracked near the sync port, and suspected the syncing in the case. Well it was a good case while it lasted. Now I just have to find either my rhino skin hard case (free when I purchased the T3), or the included flip cover. All in all it lasted about 9 months.

In other words, have you tested Proporta's claim that it is: - shatterproof - shock absorbent Also, since you can open it to sync, is it safe to assume the DIA / virtual graffiti area is also exposed as well in that position, allowing one to enter chars with the cover down? Have you tried dropping it to see what effect it has on the case? In other words, have you tested Proporta’s claim that it is:

- shatterproof
- shock absorbent

Also, since you can open it to sync, is it safe to assume the DIA / virtual graffiti area is also exposed as well in that position, allowing one to enter chars with the cover down?

You CAN hotsync while the T3 is in the Proporta Crystal Case. Sorry for the error. Dave Rees Hello All,

I just wanted to make a correction on my review. You CAN hotsync while the T3 is in the Proporta Crystal Case. Sorry for the error.

Looks like it has all the features that make it a best seller. BUT When the T4 is just about to come out (my own unsubstantiated belief), why invest in a case that will be redundant shortly? It will surely not fit the T4 and as I'm a compulsive upgrader, I don't think I will buy one just to have it sit on the shelf after a few months. Even so, I'm tempted...

You could have your PDA in your back pocket in a metal case, and probably sit on it without damage. This case would probably crack or allow damage to the PDA if you sat on it.

One correction: it is possible to sync the T3 in the cradle in this case. You just have to pull open the slider first. A great review with a lot of great and helpful pictures.
