Strengths: Hard case completely encloses the T5 for great protection. Two slots to put in SD cards.
Weakness: Not compatible with Palm Wi-Fi card. You have to take the T5 must be taken out of the case to use the WiFi card. The two SD card holders are also too small for the Wi-Fi card to fit.
The T5 fits snugly in the hard case, which has a nice silver finish on the exterior. If you use a WiFi card, you have to take your T5 out of the case because of the dimensions. I would not recommend getting this if you plan on using your WiFi card constantly. Otherwise, it's a god case that will protect your T5.

TopStrengths: give protection if it falls correctly .
Weakness: Bad design, bad choice of material
Little protection
Since there no latch, it opens and if the heavier part (the agenda) hits the floor first, after the cover has opened, well, though luck
Too thick... it is too thick, inside the aluminium is a thick plastic which should have been thin neoprene (rubber like absorbent) skin with slightly thicker aluminium.
Too loose... When walking my agenda in my pant pocket, it would make noise because the agenda would move inside the cover. The empty spaces at the back and front of the agenda would make the agenda loose. I did put something to fill the gaps and eliminate the noise.
Not practical, everytime one need to pull out the pen, one would have to pull the agenda upward. For ringing alarms, there is no whole to let the sound out.
There are spaces for 2 SD cards but mine is big enough that it is a waste of precious space in my pocket.

TopStrengths: Perfect fit for the T5 model.
Weakness: T5 unit must be taken out of the case to use with the palmOne Wi-Fi card.
An attractive and safe way to carry around the T5 unit. Sturdy case, but the case's finish can get scratched up if you are not careful.

TopStrengths: As expected Palm products form and function live up to expectations. The hinge and closure mechanisms are really well designed
Weakness: May need to remove case to use the Cradle. Had to use small cabinet felt pads to keep the PDA from rattling inside the case.
A case that even looks good enough for a high profile lawyer like Perry Mason to take. A sleek aluminum case that totally surrounds the handheld and keeps it secure. The smooth plastic lining includes two snap-in pockets to store SD expansion cards. Since the Palm TX is made of plastic, it's a level of protection required to keep the screen from breaking when you're on the go.

TopStrengths: Takes a licken
Weakness: WiFi card doesn't fit in the stick keeper
This is the second hard case for my T5. Yes, the latch will eventually break, but I still think it's the best case all around. Complete enclosure keeps the PDA clean and this case has definitely saved my Tungsten from more that a couple of good drops.

TopStrengths: Aluminum - and it's a case but that's about all!!
Weakness: Difficult to access T5 with wireless card. Case doesnt have place to store the wireless card. Difficult to access the stylus. Case does not stay closed. Hinges are very frail
I have had this case for 3 weeks. The hinge pin fell out. The case does not stay closed. The case is also slippery to the touch and is easy to drop. I am very disappointed with the design.

TopStrengths: Completley covers the T5, and protetcs it on all sides. 2 Slots for expansion cards.
Weakness: Not a sung fit; PDA rattles aroud inside a little. Top of PDA covered by case - have to manuver PDA to turn on/off, use the stylus, insert and expansion card.
I was not very impressed with this case. Though it does cover and protect the PDA totally, the inside of the case is hard plastic, not a soft liner and with the PDA moving around in a pocket or purse, the unit could be damaged. Also, I think it was poor design to completely cover the top of the PDA so that it has to be taken out of the case to turn it on/off, use the stylus or change the expansion card.

Tungsten T5 Hard Case
Strengths: Fits the Palm T/X perfectly, seems very sturdy yet not too bulky.
Weakness: It is hard to get to the power button, stylus and ports. If there were other options for hard cases that didn't cover those, I would want that...I don't know of any though and the prot
I think this will keep my pda in good shape. If there were other options for hard cases that didn't cover the power button, stylus and ports, I would want that...I don't know of any though and the protection of a hard case is more important than easy access.
