It's a bit pricey, but very well built, nice leather, lots of slots to put things in, heavy duty brass zipper. I got this to hold my Jornada 548, which fits nicely, very secure and snug into the case. The only killer is the zipper - a brass zipper makes a nice saw, and although the fabric it's sewn to is also heavy, there is no protection between the brass zipper and the PDA. I found this out the hard way, with zipper imprints left in the bottom of my Jornada. I've been very careful when removing PDA from case (e.g. for charging), because a careless swipe across the zipper would no doubt cut into the case, if just carrying it can dent the aluminum Jornada. I'd hate to see what would happen to a plastic PDA. So, I'm returning it in favor of a nylon zipper case or something else. Fact is, the Jornada, with screen cover, is probably safer OUT of the case and in a pocket than in the case (which fits few pockets).

Sturdy, nice-looking case with embossed logo on the front. Attractive color and texture, but it looked matt when it arrived. I tried a little neutral shoe wax on one of the inside panels and it came up fine, so I went over the whole case, and it now has a nice satin sheen.

It's a little tight-fitting with a Palm IIIc, even after taking the flip cover off. No big deal, except that's where I had the graffiti help stickers. Also, you have to tuck the end of the zip down to avoid having a lump sticking out the top.

Interesting delivery - just the case in a clear plastic bag: no insert, no warranty, no instructions. Nada. Zip. Fortunately, I was able to figure out how to unpeel the Velcro and stick it to the back of the Palm, (all by myself). At this price, it would be nice to say "thanks for buying our product": it is WAY overpriced, even with Amazon's $15 break. Fortunately, I had a promotional certificate for $50, so it was essentially free.

I purchased the case 6+ months ago and found the following issues:
Brass zipper scratched my Jornada

Zipper ripped due to extensive use and manufacturer has absolutely NO warrantee after 30 days (so i was told).

Velcro was not a problem as there is really no other way to attach the jornada w/o a custom built sleeve (which I was aware of prior to purchasing the case)

All in all the case is very nice and held the necessary items I needed to haul around with my person (cards, money, etc). I was mostly unimpressed with their (RhinoSkin) customer satisfaction policy (absolutely none). They didn't even offer to sell me another case at a discounted rate (which I would have been glad to do).

Sturdy, nice-looking, attractive color and texture.

It's a little too tight for a Palm IIIc, even after taking the flip cover off, also, they must have a better method to attach the PDA other than velcro pads. Can't sync using the sync cable without removing from case

Very bad delivery - just the case in a clear plastic bag: no insert, no warranty, no instructions. It is WAY overpriced, even with Amazon's discount the only reason to buy it is if you have a free certificate.
