Palm Form Fit Case

Overview > Conclusion
Conclusion Palm's Form Fit leather case dresses your Treo to impress. It provides very good protection, while still leaving the essential controls accessible, operable without removing the case. The clear window lets you see who's calling, look up contact information, and even use the keyboard. And the belt clip keeps your Treo up front for all to see and admire. For a small price, this is a lot of case.
UPDATE: Palm has replaced the Form Fit Case with a new model that has a slightly different form factor and a differently shaped front window. Apparently addressing user complaints about the usability of the Treo 650's keyboard through the window, the new version has scooped-out sides that open up the view of the keyboard even more. It also omits the fold-down flap for the camera, and costs twice as much as the model I reviewed.
To clarify: I have had zero trouble using the keyboard through the plastic window. That's saying something , as I have large, arthritic-stiff hands. Moreover, a case this inexpensive, with the quality of construction this model has, deserves a high rating, even if it might need a cleaning now and then.
Pros
Dockable without removing case
Leaves most ports and features accessible
Keyboard and buttons usable through huge plastic window
Easy, fast removal and installation
Inexpensive
Cons
Use of stylus, though possible, likely to scratch window
Camera almost usable with case on, but not quite
