I couldn't tell from the picture on the Palm site what the flexi case really looked like on the phone. In actual use, the translucent cover fits glove snug, and the keyboard retains its tactile responsiveness through the cover. All phone ports match perfectly and are easily accessible. I take the cover off often to alternate between two batteries. There is no lost of shape or flexibility. The screen cover is thicker than an ordinary screen protector, generates no bubbles, and is particularly sensitive to input using the stylus. If you don't need a belt clip or cover, this is the perfect case for protecting the phone while in use or when carrying in a pocket or purse.
