Well, it's officially mine

I duffed my Treo on the way into the apartment today. Didn't even have the bastard 24 hours.

Couldn't have been somewhere nice and soft, couldn't have bounced off something to soften the fall..nope right onto the concrete in front of the mail box. Scuffed a couple spots real nice on the side.

This is exactly why I wanted a holder for it to put it right into when I got it. But I haven't really found anything I know I'll be 100% happy with.

And I know it can't stay new forever. Just with the cost of this thing, I'd liked to have had it survive a month scuff free.

Otherwise, I bloody love this thing. The only problem I've found, is it doesn't want to hold my log in for LJ. Especially when i'm trying to comment or reply to someones comments. Fellow Treo owners, any idea?

Also, use Froogle to look up Treo 650 Skins; there are vinyl applique skins as well as skin-tight silicone cases if you just want scuff protection.

I'm planning on getting a nice set of vinyl skins for my Sidekick, maybe a nice woodgrain.

Look for screen protectors too, especially since you have a touch screen...you'll eventually wear into the screen with the stylus or your fingernail, and if you do, just peel off the protector and put on another one.

Do you have AIM? I'm now on AIM and Yahoo all the time on my SK. Email to my rustitobuck@ addresses get sent to it too.

In fact, Cheetah just got a 650 as well, so maybe talk to him, we've split packs of screen protectors before.

My, I'm verbose today.

I love my Treo.

I'm thinking of getting a skin case for it. I use it way too much at work to have much around it, but want to at least keep it from getting dinged up too much.

that's pretty much my problem. I know if I buy a big covering case, I'll just take it off cause I'll get sick of it.

I don't need a screen protecter right away, they gave me a single one in the booklet pack from Verizon.

I'm not a fan of the appliques, however I have been looking rather closely at the skins. it's just a matter of deciding what I want to get. the problem is, I've found most of the treo stuff, the biggest selection, can only be found on the net. which is fine and all, but I actually want to see what I'm going to buy.
