 RhinoSkin for TX - Not bad September 30, 2008
This is my second RhinoSkin case. The first lasted about 5 years subjected to pretty rough treatment. This one was not up the the same standard that I had come to expect from Saunders. The latch did not close securely nor did it click as it appeared to be designed to do. I did a bit of surgery and bending and now it works better, still no click on closure, but pretty secure. I have had it open while cliped to my belt several times. A feature that did not appear with the first case for about 4 years of use.
Still, a very hearty case, but come on Saunders, you can do better.
On the whole, I would still recommend it to anyone with a Palm TX.
 Solid as a rock! August 23, 2008
I had a Rhino Skin case for my Tungsten T3 and it protected my T3 from many a drop that would have shattered the unit had it not been in a case. So when I bought the Palm TX Handheld, I didn't hesitate to order a Rhino Skin case for it.
Pros:
- solid aluminum feel
- latch clicks shut (though you have to work to open it a bit)
- neoprene lining to protect your TX from being bounced around
- cut out slots for access for your hotsync cable, SD cards, headphones, stylus
Cons:
- the latch closes tight, but it's a bit hard to open
- the nice aluminum finish is prone to smudges and fingerprints
Overall, this is the best protection for the TX and I highly recommend it.
 Tight fit...no kidding! August 21, 2008

This case protects well, but getting to your palm is a different story. The TX fits in there very tightly and opening the case is a pain. Hopefully you won't break too many fingernails trying to do it. I guess this was originally designed for the T5 which is why it fits the way it does. Wouldn't recommend this, but from what it seems there aren't too many great cases for it.
Saunders Rhinoskin metal case: Great for holding the Palm TX August 16, 2008
This is a fine product that has served me very well for over 9 months now. For some reviews that I have seen below, I can't even believe that we are talking about the same product.
1) It is extremely well made (with the metal always quite cool to the touch)
2) It has numerous cutouts for various cables, insertion of memory cards, charging cable, etc.
3) It is very easy to open and close (and stays safely closed when it needs to be closed).
4) It also has a fine attachment mechanism within the case (A thin piece of plastic which readily slides on to the T/X and keeps it snugly and safely within the case at all times except when it is purposely removed for using in a cradle, etc. I have had absolutely no problems using this sliding mechanism at all (It does take a few minutes to fully grasp the attachment mechanism process).
Perhaps the only deficiency that I am aware of from other user reviews is that some don't think that the belt clip (which I don't use anyway) attaches snug enough to a belt and could slip off.
 OMG! DO NOT BUY! July 12, 2008

I normally don't take the time to submit a review.
In this case however, I feel obligated to do so.
This is by far one of the worst purchases I have ever made.
Here's why.....
The contraption is far too bulky.
The case's enclosing is unbearable, takes a good minute or so to open it.
The texture of the material feels like a cheap toy.
The overall design is horrible, something I could make in my basement.
For the love of everything sacred, do not buy this thing.
