> Convertible Case Usability The Clip Conclusion
Convertible Case I've
never been a PDA case kinda guy. My PDAs have always gone in my pocket, no case,
as small as possible. With phones, on the other hand, I've always clipped them
to my belt, right there where I could get to them. Now I've got a Treo - phone
and PDA. What to do? What to do?
You'll see what I've decided in a minute, but if you're a case
kinda gal (or guy), for the Treo you can't do much better than the Case
Techworks Convertible Case.
The case is black leather on the outside with felt facing the Treo for some
added protection. There is the bottom for the hot sync cable. I seriously doubt
this case would work in a cradle.
And there is also quite a bit of plastic, though not so much is makes the case
look at all cheap.
Plastic
holds the case onto the Treo at the speaker and around the keyboard, covering
the application and scroll keys as well (there is a separate version of the case
for the Treo 180g that does not have the plastic band across the top). Finally,
there is a clear piece of plastic that protects the front and allows you to see
the screen when the Treo is closed.
The case is also available with or without the belt clip button and associated
belt attachment. We reviewed the belt clip version.
The "Convertible" is an apt name for this case, because you can literally take
the top off, so that the case only goes around the main unit (attaching at the
antenna), leaving the flip open.Next Page: Usability >>
