Customer Reviews of Belkin HANDSPRING/TREO LEATHER ( F8R3400 )

Want an unsafe case for your Treo? Here it is!
This is pure junk. It is large and gets caught on nearly everything. The belt clip is weak and does not secure the case particularly well. Within a few days you can expect your Treo to fall off your belt and onto the floor -- several times per day! At least Belkin offers a lifetime warranty to send you another badly designed case. Spend a little extra and get a Nutshell case instead.

My favorite until it broke in three months!
THE GOOD STUFF: This holder also fits the Treo 300, which is a little large than the 180 and 270 models. The clip is tight and secure and fits nicely on a belt. The swivel portion of the clip makes carrying a breeze as it allows you to position the unit according to your situation. (Sitting in the car, for example.) The velcro flap secures the Treo quite well. The leather is nice. I thought there was a flaw in it when I noticed the front had a slight bulge/crease in it, until I realized it was a pocket on the front for business cards and such. Turns out to be a nice little touch!

THE BAD STUFF: To use the Treo, you have to pull it out, thus exposing it to possible damage. The velcro is noisy when opening the flap, thus preventing discreet use. And, FINALLY, the "button" on the back that slides into the clip broke off. This renders the case useless as clip-on device. Repair would require cutting stitching from the back, inserting a new "button" and re-stitching the retaining patch of leather back onto the case.

I am now searching other options.

It is too bad it broke like this. Despite its shortcomings, it was the carry case of choice for me. My third try. Maybe it's "fourth time's a charm?"
