I took a chance and ordered two "Kensington PDA Protector Hard Case Blue Ice" for our two Palm m500s. I've had my m500 for way many years and I wish I had found these cases long ago! I have had a hard protective case before which broke after a short time. My m500 has pretty much been going "naked" since. This Kensington case is awesome, is very simple and looks very nice! It will definitely outlive our m500s I'm sure. If you have an old m500 and no hard case (or a crappy hard case), get this Kensington case asap!
