I wanted the Belkin case, but apparantly they are so popular they cant be purchased.

Any other cases that you recommend (leaning towards leather)
thx

If you want the best go for the vaja! vajacases.com

I had one for my e740 and loved it (until my e740 was stolen). I had the classic style, and am EAGERLY waiting for a classic version for my ipaq 5455

I like EB Cases myself, they have some non-specific cases as well.

I think it depends on what you want out of the case: protection vs. versatility, etc.. I wanted protection so I opted for the titanium slider case that was made for the Palm III but fits the e740 perfectly.

Who makes that case? I like the hard cases, but it seems like there isnt one specific to the e740...and i am not about to bust out my dremel, die grinder, rotary grinder, or hack saw to make it fit ;-)

Rhinoskin makes it. I had to remove the neoprene at the top and the bottom and it fits tight, but that's good. I have a small bite mark at the bottom of my e740, but nothing to gripe at. Not only is it a hard case, but the cover slides behind the front, so you don't have to take it out. Check out this link: http://www.directcase.com/perl-bin/safe-shop?cat-81 for good prices and lots of cases. :D

I bought the Piel Frama, and it is an excellent case. Good protection, looks great, and only $50.

Well turned out while no one online, including Belkin, had the e740 case, low and behold the local Best Buys still had a couple. The carton is marked as e310, but its the same case same part# as what is on Belkins site. Only $19.99 too... not bad for a leather case with belt clip.

Thanks for the ideas, i can tell that buying PDA cases will be as tempting and fun as the PDA itself ;)

Edit 2009-Feb-18: This review was lost when my site was hacked a few years ago. As I discover old links to it, I try to remove them.

I have written reviews of a few e740 cases, which you can read here [link removed]. (Sorry, the site looks pretty ugly right now. :) The upside is that it displays well even on Pocket PCs.)
