The Review
The case costs $39.99 from Sprint. The build of the case is "Glove Leather Lambskin", so it's not very sturdy, it's very flexible. It has a flip cover, belt clip, with the "swivel" feature, allowing you to turn it any way you please while it is on your belt. The case itself has cutouts for the syncing port at the bottom, the microphone, and the speaker. The flip cover is very flimsy and is secured by two buttons, making it completely removeable. On the front, without the flip cover, you have a plastic film that covers and "protects" everything but the screen and everything above it. While in the case, the treo's keyboard isn't tactile at all, making it a bit harder to type. As a carrying case, it does well, but if you want to do some data inputting, be sure to take off the case.
The Results
Sprint, or whoever manufactured this case, did not think this one out. Although I like the fact that I can completely remove the front flip cover, nothing else really makes me want to keep this case. The fact that I can't use it with the cover on and when I remove it, the fragile screen is exposed to the outside world makes this one hard to accept. Also, the plastic film over the keyboard takes away the true wonder of the treo - it's keyboard. This is only good as a carrying case and nothing more.
