Real leather, suede interior, firm fit, moderate price
Cons:
LED cutout is slightly off, makes the 680 or 750 kinda bulky
This is a great case, with an included swivel clip. Ive read the other reviews of the case not staying together... Ive had mine for about five months now and its still holding up. Although i have to say the clip does seem to give way sometimes, cant really recall the last time this happened. Seems like real leather--soft, and it smells like it too. The internal "suede" is soft, and seems to pose no threat to your Palm handheld, it also seems to be genuine. The overall build quality seem pretty good. Its a hard case, so its about 2+/- mm thick and will add some bulkiness to your Palm Treo. However, i only found this a problem if i wanted to take off the clip and screw, and put it in my pocket. As standalone, or on the hip(w/ the swivel clip) this bulkiness isnt really a problem. One pro- to this added bulkiness, is that it gives the Treo more form, making it easier to hold in my hands while typing on the keypad--with both thumbs.
For the price, and its quality i have to recommend it--as either a regular case, or a case with a swivel clip.
P.S.--nice packaging SPE!!
Great Looking Case but streches out
User: Jeff Beardslee, Mar 17, 2007
Pros:
Easy access to all but the IR port
Cons:
Streched out after a couple of months
These cases are nice looking and hold the phone pretty good at first. Mine streched out after a couple of months and my 680 fell out of the bottom.
Beautiful design, not durable
User: Brad N., Jun 29, 2007
Let me start by saying that this case is very stylish, leaves all functions of the phone very accessible, and is extremely professional looking. However, I have found two flaws with this case. The upper portion of the front panel is very weak. The design, which leaves the two sides and screen of the phone accessible, has essentially left two narrow, flimsy "legs" that are too weak to keep that portion tight to the phone. Over time (I have a very active job and use the phone extensively every day) the legs become weak and fail. Additionally, as those legs start to bend, the leather wrap starts to pull loose from the edges, and eventually off of the face.
I am on my second case in five months, and it failed today. The first one was promptly replaced with no questions asked. I thought it may have just been a "lemon". Today I realize the case has a flawed design. If you lead an active lifestyle, this may not be the case for you.
Great Company - Poor Product

Pros:
Nice design, good fit & good looking.
Cons:
leather sides are glued & it does not hold.
I purchased the leather hard case & received it quickly. After less than a week of use with average bumping around, the glue came undone & the phone fell to the ground unprotected. I called & the great staff at Treonauts were quick to resolve the problem. I asked for a replacement & received it very quickly. However, again - less than one week of the same wear the glue came undone on one side & the phone crashed to the cement. This time I am done with this. It looks nice but does not hold to regular wear & tear. I would only purchase this again if they sowed the leather to give it the hold needed. Glue just doesn't cut it.
I must add that through the process, the Treonauts staff were excellent & professional in working with me to correct the problem. I recommend this company highly & will continue to do business with them.
Poorly desiged belt clip
User: Ken Webber, Apr 13, 2007
I had the case for less than three weeks and the case kept falling out of the belt clip even though I securely locked it in place and checked it by pulling on the case. It seems when sitting downthe case would rotate slightly and in doing so it would unlock the locking mechanism in the belt device and then when standing it would fall out. The last time it fell out it landed on the screen and damaged it so badly I had to pay for an "out of warranty" repair". I would not buy this case.
