Customer Review: The Mysterious Case of Zire
Summary: 2 Stars
As someone else recommended, I had the case removed from the package at my local Staples store, and yes, there was a very strong odor of a mysterious scent. It was unlike any plastic or rubbery substance I had ever smelled before. My wife was with me and she did not know of the strange reputation this Zire Case has. She smelled the odor right off and exclaimed, "What the heck is that smell?" We went to Office Max and the scent of the Zire Case there was not as strong, but still detectable. By this time however, my wife did not approve of purchasing one of these and I was inclined to agree with her. It is too bad, because the case has a very nice fit and is different from anything anyone else is selling. My recommendation is to wait and see what else becomes available for the Zire.Customer Review: This case is stanky
Summary: 2 Stars
Just to concur with the other review. This case does indeed stink. The fancy plastic that they used to form the case has a very strong odor for some reason. Other than the stench it is an excellent case. I can't begin to understand why Palm released a product that smells bad.Customer Review: This case stinks!
Summary: 2 Stars
The material of this case exhibits a very strong smell. I own this case for two weeks and it still smells bad. Unfortunately, you don't notice this while it's in the wrapping. Have it unwrapped for you and check it out before you buy it.Customer Review: A sad case
Summary: 1 Stars
The comment from freedom4u is no exaggeration. The fit is extremely tight, esp. when you first put the Zire in the case. My Zire developed "creaks" after going in and out of this case a few times--when I pressed the power button or grasped the Zire to plug in the hot-sync cable, the plastic case would give a bit in various spots--there was no longer a solid feel to it. I ended up getting a replacement Zire.A much better solution is a simple zippered case. If you don't like the idea of putting velcro patches on the Zire itself (I don't), just wrap it in an optical cleaning cloth to keep it from getting scratched from hitting against the zipper.
Customer Review: The smell is one thing but the size...
Summary: 1 Stars
As others did, I had the package opened in the store. I noticed a smell that was indeed weird but I would not say the case stunk. Anyhow, there seem to be more or less smelly cases around. One thing though really surprised me: I put my Zire in the case (withouth the original flap!). It fit perfect, too perfect. I could hardly get my Zire back out. Maybe it was just bad luck and it happened to be a badly sized case but I certainly would not pay any money for it. Rather buy one of those Palm leather wallets that have velcro patches inside. Those work perfect.
