After trying some of the cases available in the local stores, I find the quality to be nothing more than miserable. The RhinoSkin leather case I currently have is poorly made and fitted.

Can anyone recommend a good quality leather case for my Tungsten C?

I am considering the slipper case from E&B.

After doing some research and reading reviews on different cases for the Tungsten C, I decided to go for a Vaja case. I purchased the Vaja Classic with all the basic configurations, which was still a bit pricey compared to other cases; cost me $60. I am really happy with this case, the quality and craftmanship of the leather is truly exceptional.

Only gripe that it does sync on cradle with the case on. You can charge it if you put it just right on the cradle and sync using wifi.

Hope this helps.

YOW!
While that's a nice looking case, there's no way I could imagine affording it on the college student budget.


Any others say in the $30ish US price range?

I have a T|E and have an EB Slipper case, which I LOVE. They make a similar one for the T|C. Works great, looks great, everything's accessible, and you even can get a belt clip as an option.

You might try ebay, I have gotten some great cases for a lot less there than anywhere else.

That's true, I didn't think about that before. There are a lot of accessories on eBay that won't break your wallet. I have seen this case posted around there a lot. If I didn't have my leather case already, this would be one I would consider:

That is a good one. I have that brand in a cell phone case and I am very ahppy with it. Currently I have a Ghurka case for my PDA that I like real well.

I like it but I can not find a charger can work with it without take off the case?
Does any one can help?

My criteria for a case were: soft, flip top, able to sync in the case, and a covering on most/all of the sides of the T|C. That reduced the crowd of cases to about half a dozen. The Vaja and Piel Frama are gorgeous cases, but just way more than I wanted to spend. I was about to go for a Krusell or Sena case, but I didn't like the idea of that plastic covering over the keys, even if it's nice and flexible. I've ended up with a Bellagio case, which meets all my specs. It should be waiting for me at home today. I'll let you know how it works out.

Sure enough, the case was waiting for me when I got home.

Nicely constructed. A tight fit at first, but it's leather. I liked the leather "chin strap" around the bottom of the device, but see that it can get in the way of the navigator button if the Palm is jammed down too far. Other than that, I'm happy with my purchase.
