Best proctective case for 650

And, the Vaja fits the Treo much better than the other hard leather case at the Treo store (sorry Chris). I really think the Vaja is worth the price.

No worries. Vaja makes a nice case. I'm glad you like it. I'm testing out the T65 for Treo 650 for an upcoming review. I was using an Vaja case exclusively with my Treo 600. Here's my Vaja review for Treo 600.

Got my red leather Sena magnetic flip case with belt clip today. Sweet. Exactly what I wanted. The belt clip isn't cheesy, very tight, snug, and it swivels nicely. Appearance is very impressive, nice stitching, form fitting. The magnetic flap is more than ample to protect the screen and keyboard. Slides in and out easily, once I got used to it. The rocker switch hangs just slightly slipping out of the case; with keyguard on, holding the rocker down slightly avoids the hanging without lots of beeps. It does not work with my Seidio cradle as there is no place for the flap in the cradle. Small inconvenience. All in all, a tad pricey (only one ebay listing when I was searching around) but no cheese and fine workmanship makes it worth it IMHO.

So I like the idea of the skin case but my main question is if it is bulky. I like the slim design of the treo and don't like the bulk of a leather case. Is this somewhere in the middle?

The Sena case without the magnetic flap on the belt has no bulk at all IMHO. The Sena case with the flap (the one I got) makes it thicker, I wouldn't say bulky. Inside the flap are little pockets for 2 SD cards and one larger pocket for something else, if that helps. The protection provided by the flap outweighs the issue of bulk IMHO. I would say the case with flap is bulky if you stored it in a soft leather flat briefcase but not bulky if you stored it in a hard briefcase. Does that help?
