I purchased this case to carry my Treo 600 when I was not carrying a bag or briefcase. I already found the Treo to be too large to comfortably carry in a pocket. This case does give fairly easy access to the phone and is well built. However, it creates a large package to attach to one's belt or waist. If you don't mind the "gunslinger" look this case may meet your needs. If you want something a little more compact, look for something else.
