Problems
The thick window leaves the Treo’s display nicely visible, but you probably won’t like using the stylus on it. Moreover, doing so will eventually scratch the window, and any rubbing it gets – on your arm or during the preparation process to load the Treo in it - will cause static charges that suck dust out of the air and deposit it where you least want to see it: on the window.
To view the screen, you need a window. So invest in some isopropyl alcohol, some lintl-free tissue (sold for cleaning eyeglasses) and do some polishing.
Same with the keyboard. Using it through the thick plastic window requires some patience. And luck.
And “one size fits all” is a misleading misconception of misguided marketing. It ought to be: “One size fits most.” A little extra Velcro or a buckle/tightening loop would solve this, though those changes would add a bit more weight and bulk. Okay, forget the size thing. If the “shoe” fits, enjoy it. Otherwise, wear it on your elbow, your thigh, or around your… whatever.
Conclusion
For running, walking, bike riding or working out, ItzKitz’ SportsBand case provides excellent protection while leaving the Treo’s screen visible and its controls usable.
