I just got my T3 today. It is great!!! Good design and nice screen.
Now what is bothering me now is the protection screen and leather casing. Anyone has any idea if there are any good screen protector and leather casing for T3 (preferably can be found in Singapore). Thanks:)

I am using my old NR70V screen protectors. They fit well. No case yet.

Also, some of the Compaq iPaq screen protectors are very close; onyl a couple mm short, and a little wide so some trimming is needed.

The NR/NX screen protector is able to be fixed for TT3, for specific TT3 screen protector, you may consider to get from brando http://shop.brando.com.hk

Tentatively I still could not find any leather case for TT3 :(

Covertec (www.covertec.com)makes some very nice cases for the Tungsten product line as does Krusell. The Krusell case allows the Tungsten to sit sideways in the case and actually that works out quite nice.

I prefer side flip casing. One of the cases which I like best is the casing by PDAIR for NX73/80. Located here:

E&B (http://www.ebcases.com/Detail.bok/c0a80196f82bb64ff932?&category=Palm+Tungsten+T3&start=1&total=7&no=268) has a Slipper available now for preorder. I don't work there, I just like the product.

E&B has always been my favorite. Well made and good for the price.

Yea, good recommendations. I must say I was disappointed with the casing since I upgraded from a T|C and thought the stock protector was pretty good.

Personally I found that the E&B case leather is too soft, prefer hard leather which provide better protection

The NR/NX screen protectors from fellowers fit perfectly on the T3 screen, some of the plastic even goes below the slider protecting it from accidental peeling.

But I personally prefer the Sony brand better. You only get one protector but it's removable and washable. (Very similar to the Brando one's I've used in the past).

I also think it provides a much better writing surface than the Fellowes and Belkin screen protectors do. Seems to improve my grafitti recognition significantly.

I'd highly recommend them. I found them in stock at a local Frys.

Has anyone tried PalmoOne's Tungsten T3 Hard Cover Case? Take a look at this link (http://store.palm.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1386749)

The Sony Clie NR/NX fit the T3 perfectly and they are available now in retail stores. So you don't have to pay shipping and you don't have to wait for them to be delivered. You can just walk into a Frys or Compusa and buy them now.

Brandos are great - don't get me wrong - but the Clie protectors fit the T3 just fine.

I personally haven't, but have read a review on a competitors site and the customer returned the case because the T3 doesn't fit snuggly and could feel it slipping inside the case. I know this is second-hand information, but hope it will at least give you some information.

Never likes hard case before because most of hard case will scratch your device while slipping :mad:

I'm not using a case with my T|T3. First time ever I haven't used a case with a pda. I'm currently using my old T|T screen protectors. They don't fit exactly, but they're fine until my new Brando ones arrive.

If Sony's NX73/80 screen protector can fit perfectly into the T3, I might consider getting one

Does any one know if a company is planning on making an improved flip-cover? I like the idea, just find the stock one to be lacking...

When is any side-flip leather casing coming out for T3?

I have been using iPaq protectors until I order a custom one for the T3. I last ordered a protector from exSlim which was reviewed at the Gadgeteer website (www.the-gadgeteer.com) and have overall been very pleased. The only complaint I have is that my wife is an Acid Solitaire addict and the has worn a spot on the protector where she selects the cards from the solitaire deck (not a bad spot, just you can see its refelection on the surface). The protector shows NO wear where I use grafitti!
and it has a great surface texture while not degrading screen quality/visibility!
FYI
ps..... I also have bought several cases from E&B and have always been pleased with the quality, design, and construction.

Update/correction to my last post: the screen protector is an Exim and is available from PDA-Now.com
(Sorry for the mis-spelling)
