Here's how I see it...

Best.. Vaja T65

Lowest profile... Sena Leather Cases


I also like the Seidio Holster quite a bit, but it won't offer you much in terms of protection if you drop it.

There is a bit of bulk with the T65, but it offers great protection. The Sena offers good overall protection against scratches. As with any low profile case, the lack of bulk will result in less protection. It's a trade off.

Good luck.
Chris

I have used a case that has the clear cover over the screen with the keys xposed. It is upright on your belt.

I also have a horizonal case with a magnetic flap. I like the case but the antenna seems to catch on everything.

If I had it to do again I would buy a slip case that is vertical with a flap.

I have a magnetic flap case and it is great. The green indicator light is visible. If I flip the phone, I do not even have to remove the phone to charge it and can listen to mp3's easily. I looked at the holsters and, it is true they have not too much protection, and if you are a 'well rounded' fellow, it may get hung up on everything that you walk by.
I did like the clear rubber skins....but I felt a case of leather is more my thing .
I have a pouch case, but never use it. Check the store here at EveythingTreo and you will be amazed at what they have.
Good luck and tell us what you have bought.

Hey,

I've purchased pretty much one of everything...

This one is clear and the screen of the Treo faces towards your waist instead of it being exposed.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5856608023

I've got a black one which is simular to the one posted above except the screen faces out.

I also purchased a leather one which has a real nice profesional style. It comes with a belt clip and you can also take off the belt clip nob thingy that pokes out the back.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5856609055

And last but not least I purchased one of those silicone clear cases...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5859137328

and I purchased a screen protector from boxwave so my screen will be protected when ever I use an open screen case.

I guess it's more your style of things...

My last one is the Seidio holster I bought on this site. Super fast access and very comfortable when wearing in the "horizontal" position. Holds the Treo VERY securely, but easily released with one hand. screen faces in for protection and the headphone jack is accessible.

I had a vertical leather holster I bought here, but broke off the belt clip when I was flipping over my mattress (you know, do it every 6 months to make it last longer). The holster didn't have a "latch/strap/securing mechanism" to keep the Treo in, other than in the upright position. And it didn't provide "easy" access to the headphone jack.

The holster is much better if you need speed of access.

Enjoy!

I agree with Mike. I've only owned one holster and it is the Seidio holster. Excellent quality and everything Mike said.

I tried a few and this is the one I love the most:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5847123781

and it was only 12.50 with shipping. It worked with the Seidio skin, but I hated the skin. The clear skin just traps dirt under it and looked like crap so I sent it back. I now just use this case without any skin and am very happy with it.

I have the Covertec Leather with a swivel clip. It is magnetic and I keep it horizontal due to me being paranoid in the upright postion ... but it's nice if it catches not to have it come off your belt and swivel instead.

I am quite happy with it.
