Aircraft Grade Aluminum
RE: Aircraft Grade Aluminum
I have the Palm brand m500 series metal case for my m505, but when I use it, it seems to press buttons when it is closed. I don't think it is just the act of opening and closing it that presses them (although that certainly does). I experience unusually high battery drain when I use it, so I think the Palm tends to stay on. Am I the only one?
If I'm not, does anyone know of a slim metal case (including the Proporta that probably no one has tried yet) that doesn't have this problem?

Yes, and most aluminum products are made from softer material, but the cost difference on the relatively small amount of metal used in a pda case wouldn't amount to much.
RE: Button Problem
I had the same problm with my M515. I would open the case and find it on, or worse yet, the battery drained. I just ordered one of these cases. Let's see what happens.

I had this problem when I changed over to the m515 my solution was to gouge a little of the plastic out of the casing where the power button protrudes. (I know according to the specs the m515 and m505 are exactly the same depth, but for some reason my m515 doesn't quite fit into my old m515 cases.) Compared to some of the thinner cases I find the Palm one tends to stay closed more reliably on dropping. Plus no-one I hand it to can work out how to open it :)

I've never had a hard case before, so I ordered this one last week. We'll see how it goes.
We have all seen the drop test, which usualy reveals how good the clasp performs. What I would like to see is a crush test using live PDAs (IN a case, of course!)
RE: Aircraft Grade Aluminum
Do you think people have died from that?

I used to have a Palm V and now changed to m505.
I really miss the time when I was useing that Palm V hard case, its really not bad, looks good, and the buttons doesn't get pressed when put into pocket.
But I have been using this leather case for my m505 since I bought it, and I hate the leather case. Its so sad that there were no hard case for the 505 when it first came out.
