I bought two cases, one for me and one for my son (used on Palm TX). The screws on both cases would come loose and our PDA would fall to the floor. I used green lock-tight and it stayed for a month, then last night at the grocery store my PDA went crashing from my belt to the concrete floor. Luckily the good point of the case is its strength. My PDA was saved, this time but may not be so lucky on the next fall. Now I'm going to apply a stronger lock-tight. Do an on line search and you will find this IS AN ISSUE with the Rhino case. It is also an issue that for some reason the manufacturer doesn't want to fix. Off the top of my head I can think of a better way, a way that won't create friction that unscrews the screw. Personally I think a class action is in order. I spent over $50 for cases to protect $600 dollars of equipment that fall off my belt????? This product has been falling off belts for years. If I would have researched first, saw the problem existed I would have bought another type of case. :mad: <blockquote><cite>snoudude wrote: </cite><br />Just make sure you use some lock-tight / thread locker on the stud for the swivel clip as they can come loose - I lost a Treo 600 to a Rhinoskin case and stopped using them all together.
