m505 SmarterCase
January 8, 2002
If you really want to protect your Palm, but don’t want to shell out the big bucks for an expensive hard metal hard case, you should think about getting the new m505 SmarterCase. It’s available in several different styles (just in case leopard print isn’t your thing) and is very nicely made. As you can see from the picture, my 505 fits in the case quite snugly, but is still easy to remove for syncing and charging. On the left-hand side, you’ll see some slots for SD card storage, which is great if you have multiple cards, as well as a stylus holder. It’s impossible to get to the silo when the 505 is in the case, so the stylus holder is provided for your convenience. Unfortunately it is made out of a fairly thin piece of elastic and I’m not sure how durable it will be.
The case closes with a simple strap flap which works very well. It’s easy to open, and yet very unlikely to open accidentally, either due to a fall or excessive jostling in your bag. And the all metal construction ensures that your Palm stays safe and secure at all times, while the fashion conscious among us will appreciate the variety of fabric covering styles available. I am very pleased with this new model, though I wish that the stylus holder were better. You can get your own SmarterCase for the m505 for $18.99 at their web site. If you preorder before January 15, 2002 shipping is free!
