Conversations during recent years have centered around mobile devices such as iPhones, BlackBerries, Droids and the like, but the truth remains that it was Palm that really started the smartphone revolution in the United States. Although HP purchased Palm in 2010, many users continue to have a need for Palm cases to protect their Palm smartphones.

The PalmPilot was the device that was the must-have item several years before the iPhone was released. The PalmPilot proved that there was a market for a device that fell in a class in between a cell phone and a laptop. Because Palm has been around for so many years, there are many types of Palm cases from which you can choose to protect your mobile device. Perhaps Palm’s biggest downfall has been not being able to move fast enough to keep up with the competition.

Even if there are smartphones that are slightly more advanced, the technology included in Palm devices is nothing to sneeze at. In fact, most smartphone owners would be happy to use the features included on Palm devices. This is evidenced by the features included on two of Palm’s more-recent devices: the Palm Pre 2 and the Palm Pixi Plus.

Pre 2 Palm Cases

Cases.com features Palm cases for the Palm Pre 2 that are designed to not only protect your device, but also to embellish it. We feature several types of Palm cases made from fine, soft leather. The Palm Pre 2 includes several features that are certainly worth protecting. Among some of the most-important features to protect is the 5-megapixel camera that allows for geo-tagging and includes an LED flash. You also can use your Palm device to capture video and listen to music. You may download MP3s from the Amazon Music Store while also downloading multiple video formats.

The Pre Palm 2 also comes equipped with a Web browser and an operating system that is able to display Flash videos and games. The phone also is Skype-capable and able to work with Google Talk, AIM and other applications that expand the ways that people can connect with one another. The phone also includes a Microsoft Word and a Microsoft Excel viewer. Because the device only weighs 5.1 ounces, it is easy to carry with you wherever you go.

The weight and size of the device also could be a detriment if you do not properly protect the device with one of the Palm cases that we offer on Cases.com.

Pixi Plus Palm Cases

The Pixi Plus is not as advanced as the Pre 2, but it does have several attractive features, including a voice-guided GPS, a 2-megapixel camera and live video capture and playback. Some of the Palm cases that you can use to protect a Palm Pixi include leather cases as well as solid aluminum cases. Both of these cases help protect the Palm Pixi from accidental drops and scratches.

The Palm Pixi Plus allows you to do much more than simply talk. The device features text messaging, instant messaging, AOL and Gtalk options.
