Palm’s new Treo Pro features a touch screen with 320 x 320 resolution, 3G networks, an attractive new design, and keyboard layout. If you end up buying the a Treo Pro smartphone, you might want to going want a case to protect your new Treo Pro smartphone and one of the ways you can do that is with a case specifically designed for it.
There are a few important factors to consider when selecting a Treo Pro case, the first being how well it protects your Treo Pro. From there, you will want to have unobstructed access to the display and the other ports and controls on the Treo Pro. Additionally, a case that accents the features of the stunning Treo Pro, both visually and functionally would be good, oh, and something to protect the Treo Pro from short drops would be great too.
Treo-Pro.com Accessories online store offers a wide variety of Flip Cases, Slip Pouches, Gel Skins, Rigid Cases, Sport Cases, Screen Protectors, and Other Treo Pro Cases, the kinds that adds functionality or at least enhance the fashion of the Treo Pro smartphone. So really, it depends on what’s important to you.
Treo Pro Flip Cases
These cases cover the entire Treo Pro; there are generally holes for access to the ports and the headphone jack. They then have a flap that either opens up or to the side that grants you access to the display, and subsequently the speaker and microphone as well. These cases probably offer the most protection short of the Rigid Cases.
Treo Pro Slip Pouches
These Palm Treo Pro Cases are fairly self explanatory, they are pouches, and the Treo Pro slips right into them, and they are usually form fitted enough that the Treo Pro won’t slide right back out, but it is easy enough to remove when you really want to. With these cases, they usually have belt clips, D-Rings, something of that nature to affix them to your person, and you only get access to one port, depending on how you insert your Treo Pro smartphone. These cases also offer a fair amount of shock protection.
Treo Pro Gel Skins
These Treo Pro cases just slide over the back and the edges and that’s all they protect, you maintain access to all ports and buttons, the screen, and the Treo Pro’s camera. They protect the back of the Treo Pro, and the edges and offer protection to the screen from what might be on whatever flat surface you set your Treo Pro on upside down. These cases also offer decent shock protection depending on the material they are made out of and how they are made.
Treo Pro Rigid Cases
These cases are generally made out of either hard plastic or metal, usually aluminum. They also offer the most protection to your devices but also manage to be the hardest to gain access to your Treo Pro with. These are a prime example of the fact that you can’t have your cake and eat it too, you either have maximum safety and minimum accessibility or you choose a different type of case that offers a mix of the two.
Treo Pro Sport Cases
These are generally armbands, they hold your Treo Pro in place, protect the screen, protect the Treo Pro from sweat, and are specifically designed to be used while working out. The reason they are generally on your arm is because that seems to be the best location to put a device that you want access to, but don’t want the Treo Pro or the headphone cables getting in your way.
Treo Pro Screen Protectors
These aren’t cases, in most examples, there are a few that offer the same material their signature screen protectors are made of, but cut to fit the remainder of your Treo Pro, and in that instance, it would be considered a case. Screen protectors for the Treo Pro are statically or otherwise adhered to your Treo Pro’s display. They protect the display from scratches and dirt and smudges but also allow full access to the display, these can even be used in conjunction with other cases to offer the best protection.
Other Cases for the Treo Pro
Other Treo Pro cases covers those that offer up added functionality or those cases that are purely for fashion. I have seen some cases with fans, cord wraps, battery extenders, crazy stuff; it all depends on what there is a market for. Fashion cases can get quite extravagant or sometimes they exhibit the same characteristics as one of the other cases but are just made by a certain clothing manufacturer or something of that nature, such as Gucci, Fendi, Dolce & Gabana, Louis Vouitton, the list goes on but you get the hint. Like I said, some of the fashion cases just look ridiculous, like they are made from weird animal skins, or faker version of those same skins, or they look like purses, crazy stuff. In general, these cases offer only mediocre protection.
