Do people like Treo cases that cover the keyboard?

Just wondering, do people like Treo Cases that cover the keyboard? I'm debating which I'm going to get, and I see a lot of people it seems have the keyboards exposed.

I have the Treo Leather Side Case, and I really like it.

i got the silicon skin case from seidio that leaves the keys open. the treo keys are meant for ur fingers to mold around them ya know? so i figured covering them would make it harder to type.

I have the same leather case and a silicone skin with the keyboard uncovered. The function keys are covered by the skin however. I have big fingers and with the keyboard covered I'd be miss typing all the time. The unit with the skin on makes a nice snug fit in the leather case. The 700p was my first PDA Phone and I am never going back. :headbang2

I have the palm silicon case which covers the keyboard. The material that covers the keyboard is very thin and doesn't make it harder to type ( i dont notice it at all) ... the more protection the better..

I'm planning on getting a screen protector regardless. anyone else think an exposed keyboard a big deal or not?

In the end I still may go with a pouch. Any reccomendations on a pouch if I go that route? I've seen the palm one that many people have posted about. One way or another, I need it clipped on my waist.

I can't decide which direction to go. While at work, having a phone that I wear that is exposed might not look as professional as having a pouch, any opinions for people in the workplace?
