Rhinoskin Leather case for Treo 700w - front

A few days ago, I received in the mail the new RhinoSkin Leather FlipCase for the Palm Treo 700w smartphone. This is a beautiful premium leather case, which has an integrated durable shield in the flip cover and in the back.

From the first glance and touch, the case exudes quality. It’s made from soft and supple sheepskin leather, and the build is quite solid. There are plenty of cutouts for all the essential buttons and ports – i.e. the side audio buttons, the SD slot/IR ports on top, the connector at the bottom of the Treo, and even one for your Treo speaker at the back!. This means your Treo 700w is fully functional with the case on.

The flip cover has a magnetic clasp which holds it securely when closed. Inside the flip cover, there’s space for 2 SD cards and 3 slots for your credit cards, business cards, IDs, or even cash.

I like the fact that the case has a removable belt clip system. In my previous flip case, the nub to connect the clip was permanently “welded” to the back, which meant that if I wanted to stuff the case into my pocket, there would be an uncomfortable bump. With the Rhinoskin flip case, you have the option to easily remove the screw for the belt clip. The belt clip itself is quite standard and it’s easy to slide the case in and out.

Saunders Manufacturing Co, which produces the Rhinoskin cases, has thoughtfully included two extras into the package. One is a nice touch for customers – a promo code to receive 15% off your next order. The second one can be a lifesaver. You get one free StuffBak label for your case (and therefore your Treo 700w). StuffBak is a loss recovery and protection service which promises rewards to whomever finds your Treo. If your Treo is lost (and found through Stuffbak), you only pay US$15 plus shipping to get it back. I would consider this feature and additional peace of mind.

You can get the Treo 700w Premium Leather Flipcase for US$34.95 from the Rhinoskin website.

Conclusion

Rhinoskin package

Your Treo 700w represents significant investment in your part, and you should definitely protect it properly. You can get cheaper leather flipcases for your Treo if you shop around, but this Rhinoskin Leather Flip Case is a great buy when you consider the quality, the protection and extras in the package.
