Default Dead horse... cases

Help me find a case! Please!

I've been looking everywhere, and I can't find one I'm happy with... and with all my looking I've managed to put my first scratch on my treo (on the battery case so no big deal, but still!)

I just want a simple case that I can put the treo in, but then take it out for use (I like the form factor, so I see no need to wrap it up while in use.)... it's solely for the purpose of protection.

But here's the kick for me, I prefer to keep things in my pocket or bag, not clipped onto my belt, so I want it thiiiiiiiin. Closest I found was a rhino-skin hard case at the local computer store, but no protection for the screen, obviouslly designed for it to stay in the case while talking.... if I go that route I'll probably get a skin case instead, but I'm afraid the skin case is going to look like crap after a week of going in and out of a pocket.

So yeah, that's my thought process, and I don't have the budget to test out the 5 or 6 cases which look interesting... so please, share your wisdom with me and help me find one I'll like.

I basically want a super thin, well fitted, leather wrap for the treo, nothing fancy, don't care about cutouts (except the antenna obviouslly).

What about a Sena case with a screen protector? Here's a review of the Sena case for the Treo 600.

Yeah, I think I'm going to order that one, thanks.

Still really intrigued by the skin cases... anyone have any input on how those work as living in the pocket cases?

Timbuk2 makes a nice case specifically for the Treo. You can see it at www.timbuk2.com

That timbuk2 looks slightly bulky, but otherwise exactly like what I want... but I just ordered a sena case last night, so tough cookies for me!

Thanks though

I ended up getting the sena case that has the removable front flap so I can toss that on when it's going to get slightly rougher treatment.

no problem skiflyer. The sena is a very sharp looking case.


best wishes!

Well, got my Sena case in the mail today... but I can't use it... seems during my order process I switched from the 650 case to the 600 case, so the cutouts on the side aren't big enough, for the LCD don't exist, and for the back speaker don't exist.

Well, I guess I'll either be testing the everythingtreo store's return policy or my exacto knife skills... woops.

There is a 30 day return policy (that's before you take out the exacto knife
