Customer Reviews

great cover! by busy mom
This helps you keep cards and other things in one place…and what is great it keeps the palm pilot from getting dirty! The reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is that it was suppose to be free..and it wasn’t ….so beware of the free case offer! Amazon didn’t back the “free case” offer that was offered…

Warning: NOT FOR ZIRE 72 and shoddy workmanship by giltay
Not only does it not fit the Zire 72 (the opening is at least half and inch too small for the screen), but the case I received even had a seriously offset hole for the bottom buttons. I’ve had decent Belkin products before, but this was real disappointing.

Not bad for the price, but not great either by Howard Cheng
Not a bad little case, considering the price, but you get what you pay for. One thing to note is that the actual case differs from the image in Amazon’s product listing in the following ways:

- There’s no separate cut-out for the power button. It’s just one big oblong opening for all the buttons.

- The spaces for credit/business cards aren’t as nice as they appear; they’re just slots in the lining (total of three).

- There are also two “half-width” slots in the lining, each wide enough to hold a Secure Digital memory card.

Pros:

- Zire 31 fits snugly into the case.

- Case feels very sturdy.

- Compact design means it doesn’t take up too much room.

- Snap button for secure enclosure.

Cons:

- Getting the stylus out is a bit difficult, and there’s no alternate place to store it either.

- Belt clip is detachable, but it attaches to a “nub” that’s permanently protruding from the rear of the case. If you don’t use the clip, the nub is just sticking out, preventing you from ever lying the case completely flat.

- No cut-out for the USB connector and AC adapter plug, which would have been really easy for Belkin to do, meaning you have to pull the Zire out slightly to use those ports.

Conclusion: A good case for the price, but small improvements would make it a lot better.
