> Overview Conclusion
Overview Vaja i-Volution T65 case is one of the best cases I have ever used. Unfortunately, its high price puts it out of the range of many Treo owners. When I heard about the LH650 Leather Hard Case, I had high hopes, as it is similar to the T65 yet at less than half the price. One of these days, a product is going to buck the "you get what you pay for" axiom. The LH650 is not this product.
Features
screen protector with this case in case you decide to slide it in a back pocket. There are cutouts for everything. The side buttons and top of the Treo are exposed, and you can easily remove the SD or SIM card if needed. There are cutouts for the camera and speaker on the back, and the headphone and sync ports are also accessible. There is even a cutout for the mic on the bottom of the Treo, which is not something I normally see. No mesh coverings like the T65 though.
Usability
the store , I noticed that before I put an o-ring on the dart, the dart would loosen as I gripped and thew it. After I put an o-ring on the dart, the dart halves never loosened again. It cost a dollar for 6 rings, so it is not a great expense for case manufacturers. Should you buy a case like this, a trip to the local game store is in order.
almost forgive the beltclip, but for me the deal-breaker with the LH650 is the keyboard cutout. There just is not enough room to easily use the keys on the sides and bottom of the keyboard. I had to adopt an "opposite typing" method when using this keyboard, using my right thumb to press the Q, A, and Option keys and my left thumb to press the P, Backspace, and Enter keys.
