Proporta’s Aluminum Hard Case for the Palm® M505/500 is an amazingly sleek looking protective case, exclusively for the M500 series PDA.  Weighing approximately 45 grams and adding no more thickness than the M500/505’s included screen guard, the aluminum case also keeps the screen free of dust while adding superior protection to your Palm.  The cases’ aluminum exterior is almost identical in colour to the Palm's aluminum casing and closes snuggly with openings for the stylus and MMC/SD card.

I have been using the Pilot Pentopia Stylus for the M500 and find it catches slightly on the case.  The original Palm stylus, however, fits perfectly.  The only other suggestion I could make is that a small anti-slide surface be incorporated, perhaps in the form of a company logo made of the same neoprene as inside the case.

I highly recommend Proporta’s Aluminum Hard Case, especially to those who want protection for their Palm, but don't like bulky cases.
