Conclusion

Problems

The thick window leaves the Treo�s display nicely visible, but you probably won�t like using the stylus on it. Moreover, doing so will eventually scratch the window, and any rubbing it gets � on your arm or during the preparation process to load the Treo in it - will cause static charges that suck dust out of the air and deposit it where you least want to see it: on the window.

To view the screen, you need a window. So invest in some isopropyl alcohol, some lintl-free tissue (sold for cleaning eyeglasses) and do some polishing.

Same with the keyboard. Using it through the thick plastic window requires some patience. And luck.

And �one size fits all� is a misleading misconception of misguided marketing. It ought to be: �One size fits most.� A little extra Velcro or a buckle/tightening loop would solve this, though those changes would add a bit more weight and bulk. Okay, forget the size thing. If the �shoe� fits, enjoy it. Otherwise, wear it on your elbow, your thigh, or around your� whatever.

Conclusion

For running, walking, bike riding or working out, ItzKitz� SportsBand case provides excellent protection while leaving the Treo�s screen visible and its controls usable.
