Good Case

Jan 20, 2001 - By Edward C. Brandwein (Kew Gardens, NY United States)

The Targus is a very well designed wallet style case for the Palm III series. Unlike the Palm brand, this one has two velcro patches that hold your machine very securely. In addition, it is closed by a belt loop type strap, not velcro which makes noise when opened or a snap which can crack your display if closed too hard. The quality of the leather appears first rate and the stiching seems secure. Overall, a very good choice that protects unobtrusively.

Great product

Dec 16, 2000 - By Amazon Customer

Fits the Palm III series quite well. The stylus holder and the credit card slots are excellent features. Really good product....I wish I had bought it here at this great price.

Great One!

Jan 7, 2001 - By Amazon Customer

If you have experienced the pleasure of racking your palm you should do as I did, buy this case and be happy to know that you are 99% sure of keeping it safe. The price is unmatchable so when it is available, get one!

Nice Case With One Flaw

Feb 16, 2001 - By Spence Hackney (Chapel Hill, NC)

Overall I would say that the Targus case is an excellent unit. It holds my Palm III in securely, and has a full-length slot in addition to three credit card slots. The unit I purchased even came with a free business card holder. However, it does have one fairly major design flaw. They elastic band stylus holder is sewn in such a way that the stylus hits the edge of the Palm when the case is closed. This could easily be prevented by placing the stylus holder in the fold of the case like Palm's version, but this one is sewn to the edge of the credit card holder, about 1/2" in from the center of the fold. Right now I am forced to place my stylus in the holder on my Palm instead of the one on the Targus case. Other than that, this is a mighty fine case!

OK but major quibbles

Feb 25, 2001 - By E. Ma (Pittsburgh, PA)

The targus is OK but two problems present themselves immediately - One: putting credit cards or other plastic in the card holders may scratch that expensive screen.

Two: The leather is handsome but the whole thing definitely becomes too bulky for your pocket. If you are a girl with a purse, that's not a problem. For the rest of us, it is!

I do like that little matching card holder though - it beats a normal wallet if you don't carry too much. I gave the Targus to my fiancee and kept the small card holder. Maybe I'll get one of those metal holders for my palm instead.
