Organizer Reviews

After 2 years, the belt clip has lost much of it's tension and easily falls off on occasion. Still willing to replace it with the same model though if the price is right, otherwise I will go for the Targus model.

This was a good purchase - I looked all over for a belt clip case since I don't like putting my Handspring in my pocket, I don't like carrying more than I need to, and I need constant, quick access to it. I had gone to many stores, and could not find what I needed. I was very concerned about the quality of the belt clip in particular.

The leather looks and feels very nice, and in the 2 months or so since I purchased it, I have seen no rips, tears or defects of any kind.

I like that the case has reinforced inner walls on both the front and back, so the palm/handspring is well-protected. Mine has survived a few falls, some hard contact when walking, as well as my son who used it as a car, chew toy and thro toy for several hours.

The only drawback I have encountered is that my Handspring Visor seems a little TOO long to comfortably fit in the case. The packaging advertised that it was compatible with Handsprings, and I guess technically it is. The only concern I have is that when the top of the case is closed, it pushes the Visor down and seems to stress the leather at the bottom.

I think this was a fantastic deal. Fast service. Fits perfect and I think will last longer than the cover offered by 3M. Thanks....

While this seemed like a great idea, this module did not work as promised. It was not removable and portable as the ad claims. I removed it once to allow a peer to try it in her handspring and when I tried to put it back, it no longer would work, and I lost all the files I had placed on it. Also, it now only says it has 2MB of memory, and can't hold much of anything worthwhile. My advice - if you need 16MB, then purchase a new PDA, that's what I'm going to end up doing. This module isn't worth the hassle.

Buy one ... programs run directly off of it , unlike other memory options. works great right out of the box!

This module is a life saver for any Visor owners reaching the memory capacity of their PDA. As with all other springboards, you just pop it in, and the onboard software is installed. Use FileMover to transfer some of those apps and files to the module and run from there. No need to mess with shuffling files in and out of RAM to make room anymore. Not everything will run from the Flash module, but you can usually offload enough of it to free up several MB of RAM.

Next to some of the other memory expansion modules like the Hagiwara 16 MB or the memory card adaptors, an extra 8 MB seems puny, but that's what I thought of the 8 MB limit in the PDA itself. It's taken me a year to collect enough apps and data that are useful enough to warrant keeping on my Visor fulltime. Now I need more room, and this card does the trick.

I bought this case several months ago and I am ordering it again because the bottom plastic pieces that hold the Edge into the case broke off. I love the case--even though it is not very sturdy.

A simple but elegant design on good leather makes this slim leather case a must have for your edge. The visor clips securely into place after taking out the standard flip cover.

Cons - excessive glue used on the strap but can easily be removed - velcro strap a little to long - it comes with only 3 credit card slots vs. the 5 as described - it does not have the windowed ID slot as described (which I don't really mind) - credit cards tend to leave annoying marks on my WriteRight screen - adds bulk to the slim "edge"

Compared to the aluminum case, this has a feel of more protection and the flap can hold calling cards for those days that you may need them.

The quality might be on a case my case basis. I take very good care of my PDA and mine was pretty solid and never broke. The best part of this Lether case compare to some of the other ones available are as follows:
1. No sticky needed. The Visor Edge slide right in easily. And stays nice and tight. Some of the generic ones require you to tape a Velcro on the back of your PDA.
2. Look good and the lether feels good.
3. Two benefits compare to the official metal case. A: No need to remove the flip cover. B: Does not block the IR port.(Metal case block half of the IR port.)

I do agree two major CONs
1. velcro strap a little to long
2. it comes with only 3 credit card slots instead of 5- false advertisement of amazon.com

To conclude, considering its quality and design, it is perfect for Visor Edge. And there is no better way if you want to protect this unit. So, as a visor edge owner, I gave it 5 stars.

Beautiful case! Well made...but, when you grab the case to put it in your pocket, it pushes on the power button and drains the batteries...not good. Sometimes just zipping the case (if you have 2 or more business cards in the case)pushes the power button and drains the battery. It's sweet looking but it does not protect well.

After purchasing my Palm Vx, I began the hunt for a case. Noticing this - I was attracted to the leather exterior and the zipper security. I have not been disappointed. The zipper protects the Palm from any outside pressures -- in my purse or backpack -- no pens, pencils, car keys, etc. can "accidentally" enter the outside (like some clasp or loop closure cases) and touch my Palm or synch connectors. It is very easy to zip around - does not "stall" near the rounded corners at all. The Palm itself rests safe and secure on a center post. Snug is the word. It is remarkably well padded - giving protection to my screen. It is well protected. I have had no problems with accidentally turning on the Palm or removing the stylus for use. And it's very smart looking! The size is a plus -- very compact. Well worth the money. Should last me a very long time!

After extensive shopping in both retail and online stores, I found this case via the Palm web site and ordered it from Amazon.com. Appearance and size were primary purchasing considerations.

In looking at various cases in person, I tended to prefer cases with zippers to cases with snaps or straps as the zippered enclosure provides complete protection to all sides of the Palm. This case's small, lightweight design really complements the Vx itself. In my opinion, I cannot see a person buying a bulky case that also holds credit cards, a checkbook, etc. as that seems to defeat the purpose of buying a slim handheld like the Vx in the first place. That's not to say that this case doesn't have any storage whatsoever -- it has a single pocket for a driver's license, a few business cards or some extra cash. There's also a thoughtfully recessed area so the Vx's buttons aren't pressed by accident when the case is closed and in one's jacket or shirt pocket.

The black leather is top quality and this case seems very well made. The zipper glides smoothly and the Palm logo is attractively embossed on the front. Though somewhat more expensive than other Vx cases, this wonderful design is an excellent investment for any Palm V or Vx owner.

The pen itself is ok, but nothing great. What's really bad is the way you select the pen, mechanical pencil or the stylus. Basically, you have to hold the pen at a horizontal position, turn the pen so the small markings idicating the type of tip extension is facing up and press the button at the end of the pen.

I usually go back and forth a lot between the three tips and it is a hassle. There are pens out there that simply require a twist at the barrel to select the tips. These are great because you don't even have to look and its so much quicker. I've seen these for less than $10.

The actual ballpoint pen is not much better than a $.05 plastic pens you buy in bulks. Where do they come up with these prices?

I like having both a pen and a stylus in the same instrument. Being thicker than the stylus, I feel that it's easier to write on my Palm. Also, I think it's cool to change between black, blue and stylus using the button and the gravity action. Be warned, it says that it'll fit on "most stylus slots" but it's as thick as any ballpoint pen.

This ball point pen/stylus is very good purchase. it is a good price and minimizes what you have to carry. just do not get them mixed up or you may ruin the screen of your visor. a good product all in all just go straight from writing a term paper to writing a reminder to turn it in inside your visor.

Pro:
It gives you a decent input mechanism for the Palm.
Seems to be built well.
Low cost.

Con:
If you have the leather case for the Palm, the keyboard will not fit.
I realized that the only reason I wanted to use a keyboard to type into a Palm was because I didn't have a keyboard. Now that I have it, I haven't really used it.

Alright, I have to admit that straight out of the box I thought I was never going to be able to use this thing! The keys seemed terribly small and my fingers aren't the most delicate things on this planet.

After a couple of days, I'm falling in love. This keyboard has a lot of advantages over other 'portable' keyboards.

Size: Truly portable. Comparing it my friend's Stowaway, this thing just takes the cake.

Location: If you don't know yet, you slip this over the bottom of your handheld (in my case Visor). It stays in place remarkably well. It's rounded sides and larger profile, makes typing easy because the handheld is easier to hold.

Construction: Yes, it's plastic, but it's well made plastic. Everything has clean finished edges. I flexed my in my hand and it creaked a little bit, but not like it was going to fall apart suddenly.

In conclusion, I give this tiny but powerful keyboard four stars. It would have earned the coveted five star rating if it's keys were just a smudge bigger, or spaced out a bit more. If you have small fingers and great fine motor skills, you'll be typing out page-long emails in no time.

This is not a full size keyboard, but if you carry a Palm, you do not want to carry a full size keyboard anyway. This device is the best option if you want to key in your words without messing with graffiti.

The device is lightweight, easy to carry and fits right into the Palm. Keying in letters and other functions are a snap. I have fallen in love with this thing since I began to use it.

The only improvement I hope is to have a protective cover on the keys. To slip it on my Palm every time is not convenient enough. If there is a cover, I do not have to worry about touching the power-on button when it is attached to the Palm and stays that way all the time.

I ordered this case because I wanted something to hold and protect my Palm IIIc. This is a professional looking case: real leather, with room for ID & business cards, and has sufficient padding to protect my Palm should I ever drop it. I have stopped using my wallet, and instead put my money, ID, credit cards, etc. in this case.

The self-locking closure (listed in the product description) is not what I expected: I expected either a snap of some sort, or a magnetic-type closure. The strap used to close the case merely fits through the loop on the front; there is no snap or anything to hold it closed. So it doesn't stay as securely closed as I had hoped it would.

I do like the fact that there is a pocket for my Palm. I shopped for a while before I decided to purchase this case instead of one which only used velcro to hold the Palm in. Also, my Palm is just a tiny bit too large to fit comfortably in the pocket. Width-wise, it's fine, but it's a little too long, so that I don't have really easy access to the top of my Palm Screen. It's easy to get my Palm in & out to Sync it. While this case has room for a pen and your stylus, I find that I can only use the stylus holder, because if I put a pen in it too, the case doesn't close very well.

Overall, I'm satisfied with this case--it's not great, and it's not bad.

I just want to know if the sumdex leather deluxe pda wallet can hold the psion revo

I use this adapter more than the cable that came with the Thinmodem. When traveling, I don't always have a jack to plug into. It's much easier to find a phone that I can unplug the wire from the phone and connect to this adapter. Also, most telephone jacks are usually mounted near the floor and are usually difficult to get to. Again, it's usually easier unplugging the telephone wire from the phone and plugging into this accessory. Plus, when I don't have a phone line to plug into, I can use my Konexx Koupler and attach to a payphone. It's more convenient using this accessory then using the cable that comes with the Thinmodem and an inline phone extension adapter to allow me to plug in the accoustic adapter.

One problem is don't carry it in your pants pocket. It was convenient to carry it with me in my front pants pocket. I guess the constant bending and moving has stressed the wire going into the connector and mine has developed a short after only a couple of months of usage. It still works, but it's becoming very difficult to position the wire to make it work so I'm having to buy another one.

I bought this with my thinmodem. I haven't used it yet since the thinmodem comes with a connection cable. I guess it would come in handy if you keep it in your brief case for away trips...or those times when you forget your connection cable. This is a "nice to have"..not a "need to have".

We have been using this cable with our 3650 model systems to connect to a gps unit for data collection and for syncronizing out in the field with NT systems and it works great for that. However, we got some new 3850 ipaqs, and they have changed the connector, so it does not work with 3850, so just be forwarned!

So you got the cradle with your iPAQ...great. Now pack that cradle and its cords in your briefcase....see what I mean? The cradle takes up more room than the iPAQ.

I grabbed one of these cables after my first trip with the cradle. I was worried that the cradle would be damaged enroute. The cable is very sturdy and takes up a fraction of the space of the cradle. This cable is about 3.5 feet long, plenty of length to go from a CPU under your desk to the desktop.

You will need to carry this cable and the charger for your trips, but it's easier than carrying the bulky USB cradle.

The whole theory of the Pocket PC is ultra portability; this items keeps it that way.

I was shopping around for a modem for my Palm IIIxe for awhile, and it came down to either the Diamond Mako travel modem or the Psion travel modem. I ended up buying the Diamond Mako and I am very pleased with my decision. The Diamond Mako modem is sometimes $20.00 cheaper than the Psion and, believe it or not, it is the EXACT SAME MODEM! I was surprised when I got the modem out and it even says "Psion 56k travel modem" right on the label. So Definitely go for this one.

Here are my complaints: The reason that I was looking for an infra-red modem is so I could use my GoType Keyboard while I am surfing on the net. This will NOT work if you use a Palm Pilot! Even though it seems that there are two separate ports (infra-red and the serial port on the bottom), they are actually the same port with two different inputs. What this means is that you have to "turn off" the serial port on the bottom (where the GoType hooks into) in order to use the infra-red port (where the modem sends info into). This was a disapointment, but not much of a problem. Another thing that I noticed is that the modem is not too sensitive, and you must stay very close to it in order for it to work. But, all in all it was a good purchase, and I am happy I shopped around rather than just buying the more expensive Psion version.

This is a great way to get on the internet while on the go. It works with almost all platforms of PDA, be it a Palm, Pocket PC or Psion. Also, because it uses the IRDA port, you can get on the net and still use your expansion slot for memory. My only complaint is the battery life... which falls somewhat short of the advertised "4 hours". If you plan on doing a lot of traveling, you might want to pick up the optional AC adapter for this while you are at it. Other than the battery life, this is a great little unit and well worth the money.
