Good case, bad belt clip.......2007-12-28
The Saunders 00497 RhinoSkin case fits the Palm TX well, looks great, and is a reasonable cost. The best part is the cut-out sections that allow you to access the synch and headphone ports, stylus, and SD card without opening the case (unlike the Palm aluminum case). The single major draw back is the poor belt clip. A screw goes into the back of the case, and the belt clip (plastic) slides on/off of the screw as you push the release button on top of the clip. But it's very hard to get the PDA on and off the clip; the clip is designed only to fit on very slim belts (fits my dress belt, but not my casual belt); and the clip opens too easily, making me afraid it will fall off with the slightest bump on the hip. It's much easier to take the clip off the belt than to get the case off the clip. I'm likely to glue the clip shut and slide my belt through, then shave off some of the parts that hold the screw so I can get it off when I need it.
Fantastic product.......2007-12-26
This product was better than the original Palm version. THere is padding in the case which makes it not rattle like the Palm one. Much better for my Palm T|X.
RhinoSkin.......2007-12-25
I purchased this product a few days ago through Amazon. It arrived in about 2-3 business days and cost about $23 including shipping. This is an excellent product. The shell offers great protection, feels very solid, and is well designed. I made a mistake at first by simply trying to press the whole unit into the case. Another reviewer mentioned the same thing and ended up scratching or breaking off a piece of the PDA. What you have to do is slide the Palm TX onto the rubber strip in the case. There are no directions on what to do, and it was my first PDA. The unit fits in perfectly, and the clasp shuts completely, while still providing full access to the SD card, charger, etc.
Great protective case except door clasp could be sturdier.......2007-12-22
It's a solid metal case with a foam lining. Some earlier palm "hard" cases was a thin sheet of metal over plastic. Not here, solid metal. It also comes with a removable clip post and matching belt clip, has a grill in the back for the speaker, a hole for the reset, notched in the right places for the connector, pen, headphone jack, power, and IR. Only two negatives that come to mind, door can flip open since it's just a friction seal and you can't put it into a charging base in the case. I think Palm is more to blame on that aspect, but the TX is easily inserted and removed from the case. Haven't 'tested' it yet to see if it helps in a fall/drop.
Very much disappointed.......2007-12-08
It was too tight for my TX! After closing, I can only pry open the cover with a screw driver and it ended up leaving 3 small dents on the side of my PDA, plus scratching the stylus.
Also, the opening lid is built on the bottom half of the cover which is kind of strange. I have a hard case for my T3 and the lid is on the top half. That makes opening much easier as your opening hand would have something to grapple on.
Maybe it was a defective unit but I was definitely very disappointed.

Very Elegant.......2007-11-30
After ownership of several PDA units over the years (and having all kinds of cases for them), I finally found the best case I ever had. This is very elegant and very formal, and the quality of the material is top-notch. This is truly value for money (and the item is inexpensive too) and coupled with a very fast shipping from Amazon, I really consider this purchase a steal!
TX Flip Cover.......2007-10-10
I purchased this product for my TX, the fit is great, the function is also great, the material has a nice soft to the touch feel, yes it dose add some size to the TX, but it does offer a whole lot of protection to it also. there are three slots for credit cards, and two for extra memory cards on the inside. The manufactures recommend that you, periodically tighten the screw type attachment for the belt clip, i carry mine in my pocket. Bottom line, looks good works good, great product.
Nice Case!.......2007-09-30
I just bought the Palm TX and needed a case. I checked out different cases and this case seemed to fit my needs. When the case arrived I put the Palm TX into it and have had no problems other than hitting the right button to bring up the menu. I can work through this. NICE CASE, I hope it wears OK.
Palm TX Tungsten flip case.......2007-09-15
Very nice, serves it's purpose and protects my palm. I don't use the belt attachment so I don't know how that works. Made of good quality material.
very good case, but not perfect.......2007-08-28
I've had this case for about 6 months now, and I'm generally happy with it. It protects my TX well, isn't too bulky, and allows easy access to most of the functions I need. I've continued to look at other options since buying this and haven't found anything better.
I'm not giving it 5 stars because of some minor quibbles, some of which may not be avoidable:
(1) the bottom of the case usually gets in the way of the "down" part of the center button on the TX (the 'solution' of sliding it up in the case works, but is clumsy),
(2) you can't close the case when headphones are plugged in. I plan to fix this as soon as I get my hands on a suitable leather hole punch.
(3) the fit has gotten a little loose as the leather has stretched. That one is definitely inevitable if you go with leather.
Product Description
With 256MB (215MB available) of storage, the Tungsten T5 handheld from palmOne lets you carry more and do more. Word documents. Spreadsheets. PowerPoint presentations. Photos. MP3s. The works. And because it's flash memory, information stays protected, even when you're on the move and don't have time to recharge. Better yet, the stunning 320 x 480 color display lets you see more in both landscape and portrait modes. But the real beauty of the Tungsten T5 handheld is you can transfer files back and forth to your desktop, and even use it as a flash drive with another computer. Just when you're thinking there couldn't be room for anything more, we also built in Bluetooth wireless technology so you can check email and connect to the Internet on the go. All this and the Tungsten T5 handheld still fits right in your pocket. Transfer files and folders quickly and easily Web capable (Web access requires a compatible Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone and ISP, sold separately) Play MP3 files, digital photos, and video clips Favorites view and Files application to quickly access your most important information The Intel 416 MHz XScale processor
Amazon.com Product Description
PalmOne stretches the possibilities with the Tungsten T5, the first handheld from PalmOne to utilize flash memory. In addition to a groundbreaking 256 MB of memory, the sleek, slim Tungsten T5 features a high-resolution 320 x 480-pixel screen, a fast 416 MHz Intel Xscale processor, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and a Secure Digital memory card expansion slot. And, of course, the Tungsten T5 features PalmOne's suite of information management applications, the ability to edit Word- and Excel-compatible files, and synchronization with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only).
|
See a detailed diagram of the PalmOne Tungsten T5's features |
Internal Flash Memory
Built for today's mobile professional, the Tungsten T5's 256 MB of memory actually provides 215 MB of user-available memory (55 MB for built-in applications and 160 MB of internal flash drive memory). Connect it to your PC or Mac and use it as you would a USB flash memory drive to transfer data and multimedia files from work to home. To access files stored on the handheld, simply select Drive Mode on the handheld and plug the included HotSync cable into a USB port.
To add files, just drag and drop them from your PC desktop to the new File Transfer application (installed with Palm Desktop; Windows only). A live desktop window gives you instant access to data and information stored on the handheld's internal drive--without the need for synchronizing the handheld to move files. |
Multimedia
The included RealPlayer for Palm OS enables you to listen to MP3s stored on optional expansion cards via the built-in speaker on the Tungsten T5 or, for stereo sound, on optional stereo headphones or ear buds. The updated Media application lets you view (and show off) transferred photos and videos.
Display
Unlike the Tungsten T3, which required you to slide the handheld's bottom open to activate the screen's landscape mode, the Tungsten T5's screen offers widescreen viewing at all times. The bright 320 x 480 transreflective TFT color display supports more than 65,000 colors. You can easily switch between portrait and landscape view, as well as open an active input area at the bottom of the screen.
Connectivity and Expansion
With built-in wireless Bluetooth connectivity, you can synchronize the Tungsten T5 with a Bluetooth-enabled computer from across the room (within a range of 10 meters, or approximately 30 feet). But that's just the start. Using a compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone, you can send and receive e-mail and connect to the Web, send multimedia (MMS) or text (SMS) messages, and even automatically dial any number in your handheld's Contact's application. You can also synchronize data the "old-fashioned" way via the USB connection at the base of the handheld.
The Tungsten T5 uses MultiMedia Card and Secure Digital expansion cards, which instantly add software applications, additional memory, large databases, and more without taking up built-in memory space.
Operating System and Software
Veteran Palm OS handheld users will immediately notice the new Favorites view, which provides easy access to applications, files, and folders. The installed Palm OS 5.4 also introduces the Files application, which enables easy navigation among folders and files. It uses the intuitive and easy-to-learn Graffiti 2 writing software to input data into the handheld (as well as an on-screen keyboard). Windows users can synchronize their calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes with Microsoft Outlook. The Palm OS features the following organizer applications:
- Contacts: Lets you store several addresses for each contact, and with new fields for more phone numbers, multiple e-mail addresses, instant messenger IDs, and Web sites.
- Calendar: Use the new Agenda view to see upcoming calendar events, tasks due, and important e-mail, and color-code your events to provide an easy way to reference your calendar in the Agenda, Day, Week, and Month views. Take more notes, or synchronize more details from your desktop, in the larger Memos and Notes fields.
- Tasks: Use tasks with alarms and repeating tasks to set reminders for important commients.
Additional Software
The Tungsten T5 includes Documents to Go 7.0, which provides the ability to create and edit Word- and Excel-compatible files and view and carry PowerPoint files (in native format) with no desktop conversion required. The included Software Essentials CD-ROM also contains eReader, Acrobat Reader, Solitaire, and Audible Player for palmOne handhelds (Windows only).
What's in the Box
This package contains the Tungsten T5 handheld, a built-in rechargeable battery, a carrying case, a USB HotSync cable, a power cable, a stylus, a CD-ROM with Palm Desktop 4.1 software for Windows and Mac (as well as bonus software), and a printed Getting Started guide.
Tech Talk: Flash Memory
Flash memory, a form of electronic memory, is used for easy and safe information storage. Its low power consumption and light weight make flash memory ideal for mobile devices. In addition, flash memory holds information without a charge or power, just like a memory card saves pictures when not connected to a digital camera. The flash memory in the Tungsten T5 handheld will maintain its data even when power is exhausted. Simply charge the handheld again and the data is there.
Tech Talk: Macintosh Users
While the Tungsten T5's new File Transfer application is a Windows-only feature, Mac users can simply mount the handheld as an external drive, and then proceed to drag and drop files from the Finder to the handheld. Note, however, that the Tungsten T5's Palm OS environment is unavailable when connected in this mode.

$440 for two years - doesn't make sense.......2007-10-03
I bought my T5 in October 2004 as a birthday present to me. I had a IIIxe which worked great (before that a PalmPilot Pro). I didn't NEED the T5 but I sure wanted it and I loved it. It was my portable mini-laptop. With the wifi card I checked my business email at hotspots (and did light web browsing). With the fold-up keyboard I created and modified Word and Excel documents. With software upgrades I used Brainforest outliner and J-File database. With bluetooth I did wireless hotsyncs with my PowerBook and Palm Desktop. I also added addresses via bluetooth to my Motorola V551 phone. I bought the 512MB memory card for backup and storage of large document. And, it was fun having photos, music and teleseminars I could listen to via earphones. Everything worked like it should, I was happy and life was good. Then, after 14 months, it died. Lucky for me I'd bought the extended warranty. Palm exchanged my unit with a refurbished one (their right under the warranty). Everything transferred over and life was good again. Then, 15 months later, it died again. Now it's out of warranty, and Palm expects me to pay nearly $200 for a repair with a joke of a warranty. With the unit, upgrades and accessories, this was nearly a $600 investment. I'd probably pay the $200 if I reasonably expected it would last another year, but I no longer feel lucky with Palm products. And my IIIxe is not backwards compatible. This is a long story I know, but be aware if you are thinking about buying one. Although the T5 is pretty much the ultimate PDA, and SHOULD be reliable, unfortunately it isn't. But hey, if you have money to burn, buy a couple and that way you'll always have a spare. :)
good pda.......... but a disappointment..........2007-08-16
I purchased the T5 for $450 including original PALMONE leather case when it was released on the market on 2005. everything was Ok and exactly as they said except for some frequent fatal errors that you have no choice but to reset, etc. etc. I've encountered them a few months after. The casing itself is cheap it got easily scratched with its OWN removable front cover AND leather case!! Now, it made a permanent mark on the faceplate. The Power button is probably picked up from some garbage dump near their factory and they managed to assemble it with the Four-hundred Dollar PDA... I hate it! You have to press really deep to just turn it on/off and a couple of times it doesn't turn on/off! Other than that, its pretty fast and the screen is excellent bright and large enough compared to other PDAs
someone must stand up for this machine!!!.......2007-06-08
I have had this product for three years. NEVER replaced the battery or worried about power failure. Use it EVERYDAY. Rare as a blue moon crash and it quickly regains complete composure- no data loss. Accidental drop(while in the very nice Aluminum case which can be purchased for it) X3 without a blink of function loss.
It, 3 years ago, was #2 on Palm's product spec list of the latest and greatest features secont to LifeDrive and all you had to do is buy a gigabite card to make it equal.
Gota free Wi-fi card with purchase (at the Palm site-sorry Amazon).
I use it for data base/reference function as a physician. Runs all standard, well known medial software programs without a hitch. Palms in general don't do well with freeware or not "off the shelf" stuff. These things will crash the machine and all it's programs, I know for a fact.
I would buy it again. It is funny that the newest Palm everyone is buying now, the TX, looks just like the T5( aluminum case and all).
No "slider" that is simply a moving part that will eventually fail (no longer stay un-slided when you don't need it). I don't really think the new product is any better then this one I bought 3 years ago.
It will let you down.......2007-03-18
There are many aspects of the T5 people want to count as negatives. For me I consider them annoyances but not killers. I would like to have WiFi with my PDA but I am not dead with out it. More memory is always good but the T5 isn't on the hurting side. It's not a good mp3 player with the memory it has. And even if you have a 2G card with mp3's it's not like this is what you would buy for MP3s. But as far as contact information, on the go applications etc.. I would consider this as good as any other. The problem as I have just found out is these are known to die. I haven't heard of this issue till it happened to me but it seems the T5 will at some point Die. It will lock up and even after all the resets listed from Palm it will not come back to even a factory state. You will have a Palm Powered logo screen with a small black line flashing on the top.
There are a couple of fixes. If you are under warranty you can send it back to Palm for them to make it better. Or you can remove the battery and solder it back. This is a serious design issue that Palm is more than happy to charge you for.
Until I ran into this I would have rated this a 4/5. Until this happened the device did what I expected it to do. I read the box before buying it and knew it had some lack of cool factor with the no WiFi. But it has one of the fastest processors (available at that time) in a PDA. Which was a different type of cool. The bluetooth
works well enough I haven't had any issues with it. You can surf the net with bluetooth so wifi isn't really that big of a deal.
But if you can't trust your device is going to be working the next day it really
doesn't matter what cool feature it has. This has been a very expensive let down.
I don't want to buy another Palm after this experience but I am not sure what to
switch to....
poor reliability.......2006-09-08
First T5 lasted 6 months, then just refused to start - was replaced under warranty. This one locked up after about 3 months - was replaced again under warranty. The third T5 lasted about 5 months. It's now out of warranty and won't start or reset. No - I'm not rough on my PDAs. None of them got even as much as a scratch. Each one looked like new when it "broke". The first 2 times, Palm told me the ROM had failed. I guess it's the same problem again, but I'm not spending $169 to get it swapped for another faulty T5. Good bye Palm.
Out of the box I think it's a good PDA, so check those 4 and 5 star reviews to see how long the users have had their PDAs before you buy.
Product Description
The idea with this line has been taken to the best part from mobile phone cases and combine that with the possibilities that you can find in the design of a PDA

Quality Case for Palm TX.......2007-03-09
Pros: Quality construction that snuggly holds my PDA, two cc slots, one larger slot, and two SD card slots, cut-out for headphone jack and speaker, cut-out for USB /power connection
Cons: must take PDA out of the case to reset, install onto charging cradle, and remove the stylus, bottom corners of PDA exposed.
Includes a fancy belt clip. However, I don't use belt clips - clip can be removed and the remaining attachment point does not interfere with me sliding entire unit easily into my front pocket. Good quality leather construction with plenty of slots to carry other stuff. My only complaint is that I have to take my PDA out of the case to use my desktop cradle (not required if only using charging/synch cable & power cord) and to reset my PDA (hence loses one star).

Nice case!!.......2007-12-31
Very nice case for Palm TX, fits perfectly, slots for business cards or memory cards. Very nice looking.
Fits like a glove.......2007-12-17
I was hesitant to buy this case for my Palm T/X after reading some of the reviews but I was pleasantly surpised to find out that it fit my Palm TX perfectly. It provided an attractive and secure setting for the TX and fits easily into my inside jacket pocket. I've had no problem with it not fitting the whole device or with access to any of the ports.
Not all people that are using a palm looking for style.......2007-12-08
This is a good case if you are not going to use your palm at all. It looks real nice but it just does'nt hold up to acual use. The case leaves a mark on your screen after a while of use, so use a screen protector and plan to change it twice as much as you usualy do. nite ize has nice functional case that is durable for about the same price its not stylish but it has lasted alot longer than this piece of crap.
Who thought the snap was a good idea?.......2007-11-09
The only real downside to this design was the use of a snap closure. Considering the trouble that T|X screens have why would they encourage you to push on the screen to close this cover? I removed the snap and glued velcro on instead. They should have used the same closure as on the E2's leather case.
T|X is the top of the line--why does it have an inferior leather case?
Nice product must for the safety of your Palm.......2007-11-04
This a perfect product for safety of your palm device. Nice texture. Additional pockets for holding cards. Nice leather material giving good look. Holds easily in the hand and have perfect grip.

Palm lifedrive cradle.......2007-12-31
I was happy with the purchase. It was as shown and delived in a timely manner.
Was about to return it but got it working.......2007-12-18
I purchased this cradle to use my Palm TX as a music player, like the iPod cradles.
The first 4 times I tried the cradle, with only the power cord since I don't intend to use it to sync, my Palm TX locked up. At this point I decided to return the cradle and went to the Palm website to get the name of the cradle patch file that I no longer need. I deleted the cradle update, but decided to try the cradle once without the patch.
The Palm hasn't locked up since, so I hope that the problem was the cradle patch. I will test it thoroughly over the next few days to make sure it is working properly.
HOW TO DISABLE THE LIGHT!
My Palm TX syncs perfectly when using the original sync cable connected to the cradle. One bonus of using the original sync cable is that the cradle charges my TX, but the cradle light doesn't come on. The light only comes on if I connect a power cable to the cradle.
Palm Cradle for Palm TX.......2007-12-18
An well built piece of electronic equipment. Makes the TX so easy to synchronize with your PC. It should be included with the TX. Very satisfied with its performance
avoid if you have a Palm TX.......2007-12-15
Own a Palm TX? Avoid this at all costs!
As others have noted, and as documented on the Palm support forums, this cradle has a major incompatibility with the Palm TX. It will cause the Palm TX to lockup, requiring a soft reset (using the reset hole on the back). There is unfortunately no solution, and no predicting when the lock will occur. Sometimes, after one HotSync it will lock, sometimes if the computer is placed into sleep and then reawakened, other times just sitting there.
Palm has a patch on their site that supposedly fixes this problem, but it actually makes matters worse - with the patch installed, the TX will lock when not even docked. DON'T install the patch!
Interestingly, the problem appears to be a hardware design flaw of the cradle itself. If you plug the TX into the included connector, and NOT the cradle, no problems! I suspect it has something to do with the silly LED light that always stays on - perhaps a static discharge problem.
Works well, but..........2007-12-15
I agree with the other reviewers, the base for this unit is very lightweight plastic, feels cheap. It works just fine, however, and considering I couldn't find a charger/synch cord anywhere in the area, I'm grateful to have it!

Fast Shipping, Good Product........2007-10-12
This was in my mailbox within 48 hours of ordering. It fits my T5 just right and is well put together. There is an emblem on the front of the flip that sticks to the magnet closure when you have the top open, I thought this was a nice feature.
Great case but problematic belt clip design.......2007-08-24
The quality of Krusell's cases is very high and I really like them (I have had two). One feature of these cases that is appealing is Krusell's Multidapt system that enables you to purchase different clips for attaching a case to your dashboard in your car, the strap on your backpack, the handlebar on your bike, etc. You can even remove the button on the back of the case entirely. So, if I like these cases so well, why only 3 stars? The problem is that the button that attaches to the back of the case and the slot into which it slides is flimsy. I have have this fail about 3 times - making it impossible to securely attach the case to anything. Fortunately, Krusell replaced my cases for free but it gets annoying. If you want a case that attaches to many places, this is really a great choice. If you only want to attach it to your belt, I have found other cases more durable; in particular, E&B's Slipper for the TX is very solid and less prone to breakage.
Excellent!.......2007-08-06
This case is outstanding! Half the price of the "palm" brand cases, but exquisit quality.
Good for what it's good for.......2007-03-30
Nothing really wrong with this case. It looks great and does are fair job at protecting my Palm TX. I work in a very rough and tumble environment and my palm has survived. I have had a problem with the with it slipping out the case a little and making the buttons kind of difficult to get to. Other wise not bad for the price
Nice material; imperfect fit.......2007-02-22
This case was delivered as promised. Overall, I'm satisfied with it since I prefer a case with this form factor. Also, the case material is quite good, but I have two problems with it. First, the TX doesn't slide down all the way into the case so that the button cut-out hangs slightly too low over the top of the buttons for my taste. Second, the belt clip was rather flimsy. After using it for two weeks, it no longer secures the TX strongly to the belt and the device can be easily slipped off (i.e., by a thief) because the metal band warped slightly after ordinary use. Fortunately, the case is compatible with similar clips from other vendors.

Brushed Aluminum Case For Storage and Protection of the Palm T/X and Tungsten Handhelds / 2 SD card holders
Customer Reviews:
great service and product.......2007-10-19
needed a new case to protect my Palm T5. Ordered a replacement and it looks like brand new. Excellent service and product.
The rest of the story.......2007-06-02
I thought, for the price, this would be a metal case. It's plastic but so far it's working ok. I am hoping that the clip that holds the Palm in the case lasts. It is made of plastic too.
I like the SD card holders.
It took me a week or so to realize that the case can be locked shut. I kept a rubber band around it until I sat on it one day and heard a click. Turns out you have to apply pressure on the case to lock it shut. This isn't real obvious and there is no documentation showing this.
Anyway, it works and I'm fairly happy with it. Shipping was prompt and I was kept up to date on things.
Junky case for Palm.......2007-05-13
My Palm TX did not fit well inside this case, it rattled around. A LOT! There is no cushion supplied inside the aluminum case. I ended up taping a pice of bubble mailer to the inside of the case to keep my device cushioned and still. This helped a lot. I had the case for a few weeks when I dropped it (while open no less!!). I must admit the Palm T|X survived the fall, I attribute this to the bubble mailer inside the back of the case! However the case itself bit the dust. The cheap plastic strip that slides ito the groove on the Palm device to hold the Palm inside the case, well it broke clean off upon being dropped.
Also there are NO speaker holes, if you want to hear alarms you better have the case open. No access for charging while case is closed, no access to SD slot without lifting Palm device from case. All in all a poor case for your T|X or any of the T series Palms.
Ehh, not bad but not good.......2007-03-13
Aesthetically pleasing case. Seems quite rugged for the several months I've owned it. Not an exact fit for the TX (even though this case is supposed to work with TX and T5's per Palm) so it can rattle around inside if you don't take up the room with something. I used the foam cupboard liners. Really needs a cut out or for the seam to be re-aligned on the bottom so you can hook up your data/power connection while the unit is in the case. Otherwise you need to prop the palm upwards to prevent stress on the connection.
Palm Case.......2007-03-08
Does not hold up well. Unable to close properly after less than 4 months of use. Consider something else.

Great Deal!!!.......2007-04-05
If you're not wanting to fork out the big bucks to replace the battery in a PDA that isn't in stores anymore, but you also don't want to fork out 300+ dollars for a new one, this is your best bet. Soldering the battery is easy. Just buy a wood burning iron in the craft section at walmart for 10 bucks, it does the job nicely. the kit comes with the screwdriver you need to get those tiny screws out, which is a plus, but you will need like a flat head screw driver or something thin that you can pry open the shell with (do this slowly or you will screw up everything on the board). To get you use to soldering, just practice unsoldering the wire connected to the old battery. Remember where the wires are connected to, or you will mess up your PDA. Charge from 2-3 hours.
All in all, a great way to save money and get your money's worth out of the Tungsten E
