Hi guys,

Anyone using the Bellagio T3 case? What do you think of it? Likes and dislikes?

Thanks!

I have a Belaggio case for the T3. I got it because it's the only leather case that more or less completely surrounds the pda, top, bottom, and sides. The sleeve is elasticized in the back, so you can open the slider and also hotsync the unit without removing it from the case.

It's a good idea, and it almost works.

The only problem, and it became more irritating over time, is that the T3 isn't held firmly in place. It shifts around in the sleeve as much as 1/2 inch, meaning that I was forever flipping open the case, then sliding the palm back up against the top edge. Mind you, I haven't been able to think of a way to fix this that doesn't involve adhesive.

Otherwise, it's well made, and there's really no chance of the T3 falling out, or getting scratched if dropped.

Currently I'm using a Piel Frama cowskin/crocodile case. Very nice. Not as protective, and can't sync in case.

I just put the T3 back in the Bellagio case to check it out again and realized that the only flaw on my T3 is a bottom corner dent which was caused by another poor design aspect of the Bellagio case.

I dropped it once, with the case closed. The bottom corners of the case are cut out for some reason, allowing the exposed flared corners of the T3 to protrude slightly past the rigid flap edges of the case. Just asking for a dent.

Can't recommend it, really.
