Only thing is I got blue case so the icons on the buttons are hard to see (don’t know if frosted white is better). It has some molded in grips on the sides for your fingers as they wrap around the Treo. The removable hard plastic screen cover fits great…only thing is I put it on backward for half the day so it was not sitting flush in the cutout and was not secured as well. Once I turned it around it fits perfectly. Also, I need to line the inside of my holster with felt or something so the screen cover does not scratch against the inside of the holster.

I am going to find a lanyard cord and either use the antenna hole and the side button hole to secure it or I may get a leather puncher and know two tiny holes in the case.

The holster is kinda big but if you turn it horizontal then it is not so bad since the skin adds a little bulk to the Treo. The skin tight case, screen cover and holster was $35 and the skin comes in three colors.

I’ve been thinking of getting a squishy case (maybe silicone, maybe a vaja leather) for my Treo 600 now that my egrips have finally temped me into peeling them off.

Brando’s stuff is pretty good at a reasonable price. I’m not especially fond of the web store’s interface though. It’s extremely non-intuitive to me. I’m really on the prowl for a retractable firewire cable and can’t navagate the site!

I also like the BoxWave FlexiSkin case because it has a lanyard cord and also can come w/ or w/o a clip…although the screen is exposed.

I ordered the Skin Tight Case From Speck Products. Good enough for a start. If I get sick of the hard plastic screen protector I may go buy the BoxWave case and use it with the Speck Products holster.

BTW, BoxWave also has an awesome charge adaptor!

This with that retractable sync cord with the integrated sync button and I will be good to go!

I actually disagree with you concerning the color and whether or not lint shows. Black shows lint more in my opinion.

I’m curious………

Under the review of this you list a “con” as “Screen isn’t protected”. In the review of the Vaja Treo 650 T65 case (which also has no protection for the screen) you do not list the same thing as a con. Is there a specific reason the lack of screen protection on the Vaja case is not a con?

Am I being picky?

Also as an FYI to others who like this style of case but are afraid of the negative points you mentioned there are some alernatives…..

Some case manufacturers make silicone cases in different colors. Black for example doesn’t show lint and dust as much as the clear or white colored ones do.

Also some come with plastic flip up covers to protect the screen as well.
