Summary: Great product...why the complaints?
Comment: I don't know why I'm reading the whining that some people are doing about this product. It works great for my TX, perfect in most respects. I'm really surprised that some of the reviews are so mixed. I don't know about the Tungsten, but the Tx fits this well--if anything to quibble about, just a TINY bit loose--and I mean tiny. Its still well worth the price, and one of the cheapest cases around as a matter of fact. Highly recommended.

Summary: Great Product
Comment: The cover that comes with the Palm TX is flimsy and barely keeps the dust out. This case protects the Palm very well. I feel very comfortable taking the Palm to work with me in this case because I know it's protected well from environmental insults.

Summary: Great looks, but that's about it
Comment: I've had my TX on one of these for over a year. It's very classy, and there are few ways to look more pretentious while using your PDA. ;)
The lid folds neatly behind allowing quick access to the screen, though it makes the case somewhat too wide, even for big hands, so I usually take the Palm out for extended use.
But that's all the good I can say about it. Reading the other reviews, I'm guessing they haven't really streamlined the production, as some people state they could fit their TX perfectly in it, while others claim it protrudes by a good chunk on the top. On my case, the bottom straps where only slightly shorter than they should, so the Palm did protrude a little, and some three mm from the screen where occluded by the case, which was pretty annoying. Still I wasn't going to give up on my conceitedness, and after several months of "manual pressure," I was able to fit the whole screen inside the case frame.
But even when the PDA fits completely inside (mine still doesn't), don't expect any protection from this case. My TX invariably plunged head down and partially slip out of it the few times I dropped it, even with the strap closed, taking the whole hit.
Also, I don't know if it was because moderate shaking (I carry it on my backpack), but placing SD cards on the pockets would yield scratching on the screen over time, so I gave up on using those.
While the finishing wasn't praiseworthy (some of the interior plastic on the bottom straps protruded since I took it out of the box), the case has stood well, but the soft leather in the pockets and the frame is coming apart now.
I am now looking for a more sturdy case, or perhaps a flexible keyboard/case. In any case, something that will cover and grip the device properly. I'd advise you to do the same, unless you want it just for the looks. ;)
I rest my case (literally).

Summary: well...
Comment: it does a good job of keeping the palm organized but, it stinks to high heaven. i mean that literally, it has a reek to it and I cannot get out and the reek is just as strong today as it was 2 years ago when i bought it

Summary: protective, yes, but in my way
Comment: This case is fantastic at protecting my Palm from scratches and bumps. It also makes it more bulky and less slippery so it does not fall out of places like my scrub pants pocket. The added bulk can be a "minus" as well since of course it adds bulk to my scrub pockets. The way the case hugs the screen on the Palm gets in my way and is irritating sometimes, but I still use the case because of how wonderfully protective it is.
