Everyone has to travel occasionally and most of us take our Palms along but you might want to carry some extras so it will feel at home.

I don't think the ibiz will work...

Use the ibiz with the upcoming m500 and m505? I doubt it. First, both are shorter, so it certainly wouldn't be as tight a fit. Second, the m505 is thicker that the Vx by .1 inches, so even if you did squeeze it in there, it probably wouldn't close as well. Third, the new units supposedly have asymmetrical stylus "silos" and that the left-side silo is not nearly the same size as it is on the Vx. So even if the right-side silo is the same size as the current Vx, the mounting system won't work for right-handers.

Agree won't work, I bought a PV case, and this product is a piece of junk. Ended up with Rhino Skin case.

Hard Case

Does this mean that Palm's Vx metal case will also fit the M505? Also, which one is a better case.

I don't think Palm make a metal case for the V/Vx. If you're referring to the Palm Hard Case, it's a shitty bit of plastic with a silver outside. I bought one and returned it immediately, as it looked cheap, felt cheap, had no protective padding inside and didn't close fully.

I previously owned the Vx, and i had the hard case to go with it and i loved it. I resently changed to the m505 and tryed to turn it around but the m505 is a little wider and if you did that you wouldn't have a pen to write with.

great gadgets

Ibiz VS Rhino

Has anyone used both Ibiz and Rhino Skin cases?

I was thinking about trying the Ibiz. I purchased a Rhino skin aluminum molded hard case and had to return it because of its sharp edges.

The Ibiz case's edges are pretty smooth. I guess if you tried really hard you might be able to cut yourself. It's currently about $9 at CompUSA in Houston and is a deal that can't be beat. From what I've read, I doubt the Rhinoskin aluminum hardcase is worth the extra cost.

I love the rhinoskin case, which I had bought for my Vx. When I got the 505 I was pissed as all hell that it didn't fit because of the stupid tiny groove that Palm insisted on changing.

However, rather than just go and drop more money for another case, I simply turned my palm around. Downside, can't store the stylus in it, but upside, don't need to buy another case.

CompUSA has the IBIZ aluminum hardcase on sale for only $9.88. I have one for my Vx I love it. Was going to get a Rhinoskin til I heard about this deal. This is a no brainer.
