This piece really does stink, 6 Mar 2004
The Tungsten E is a great little thing. It comes with a wodge of great software and quite capable hardware at a bargain price.But with that price comes a drawback - no case. The plastic flip-cover Palm supply is barely worth having and so I waited anxiously for months for a hard case to come out, all the while worrying my handheld would get scratched or dropped. I bought this case and ripped open the box, such was my desire to get rid of the naff supplied cover and get my TE into the shiny new aluminium. It looks lovely, although my initial impression was also the case is a little slippery. It was when I plugged in my headphones and tried to shut the case I really began to notice the problems. There is no port for headphones, charger, or cradle in this case. You have to leave the case open to use any plug-in. And if your TE is in the case, you won't be able to get to the stylus without flipping the TE up first. And thats pretty much true if you want to turn it off too. And its pretty hard to open once closed too. There's a really bad fastening mechanism. Palm have gone for a streamlined approach on this one. The TE gives value for money - case and decent battery were left out in order to keep the price down. When it came to the case itself they seem to have saved money by employing idiots to design it.
