Which Cases Should We Buy for Our Treo 650s?
Yesterday I said to Kathleen, "You know, the Treo 650 doesn't come with a case, so we're going to have to choose cases for ourselves." She said, "OK, let me know what the options are and I'll pick one."
I think palmOne PDAs and communicators have the most developed accessories aftermarket of any electronic gadgets other than the iPod. TreoCentral has produced a large number of reviews of Treo 650 cases. Here are links to a couple that I think are interesting:
- Innopocket Aluminum Hard Case: Similar to the case that Palm manufactured for the Palm V and Vx. [ TreoCentral Review ]
- B650 Book Case: A leather case that folds around the 650 like a book. No belt clip. [ TreoCentral Review ]
- Bellagio Lateral Pouch Case: A case similar to the case that ships with the H-P iPAQ H6135. Clips to a belt with a 360-degree rotating belt clip. [ TreoCentral Review ]
- Copilot Case: A lateral pouch that has a belt loop. [ TreoCentral Review ]
- Vaja i-Volution T65 Case: This is an expensive, custom-made leather case. One of a series of cases by Vaja of Buenos Aires, Argentina. [ TreoCentral Review ]
Another interesting Treo 650 case that I just learned about is the JAVOedge Treo 650 JAVOskin in steel blue. [ Also in frosted white. Via PocketFactory.com. ]
I still haven't mentioned the Treo 650 Side Case from palmOne itself. I'll try to find a review of it to point to later.
I have no idea which one of these cases I'll buy for myself. There are several good choices. If you have any thoughts on this, feel free to post a comment.

I had a Vaja T60 for my Treo 600 and got a T65 for my 650. This is the best case I think I've had for any device. Perfect access to everything but great protection as well. The only time I need to take the Treo out of the case is to reset it. You pay a premium though, and if you want anything but black, it will take 3 weeks to ship to you. The other color options (there are a LOT) mean that they also will personalize it with some text. I tried using my email address but they don't accept the @ symbol, so I had to use "at" in it's place. Still, I'm hopeful that if someone it gets lost and the person has any sense of decency, that they might be able to use this to track me down?
