Q-pad Both Keyboard and Case
thinkDevice Company has released the Q-pad, a combination of keyboard and case. It has a full Qwerty keyboard with a separate numeric keyboard built into the inside of the leather case. There are versions for both the Palm Vx and Visor Edge available now for $70. The company expects to have a version for the m505 and m515 out before June.
It runs off power from the handheld. To save power, it has been designed to shut off the keyboard completely when not in use.
It is about 3 by 5 by 0.9 inches and weighs 3.5 ounces.
The Q-pad has a spring-loaded hinge that flips out to become approximately a 40-degree viewing stand for the handheld.
The Edge version has a hinge, which flips outward to provide access to the Springboard expansion slot, and it also serves as the support for the PDA viewing stand.
The Vx version attaches to the handheld without Velcro tape or use of the stylus silo.

Not ugly
RE: Ugly
Its a dual purpose product for your PDA, not a freaking fashion statement. Most people out there use their PDA's for their function, not styling. When you graduate high school and stop watching so much Mtv you might realize this some day.

Better than the fellowes case/kb combo!
As to the styling... I find it an elegant solution, of course I would like to see a brushed aluminum version but the way it looks now, it does not seem to look any worse than most other regular black palm cases...
4 1/2 stars on first impressions alone I hope they come out with an m505 version soon.
