The cool thing about the BoxWave Active Case is that it's clear, so a.) everyone can see the cool smart phone you're carrying around and b.) you can use it without having to open anything up, which usually means that everything in the case will stay better protected. Indeed, as someone who purchased a case with a viewport and a scroll-wheel cut out for my iPod just so I could use the iPod with minimal exposure to the harmful forces of the outside world, I can appreciate the idea of having a clear case for every delicate gadget in my collection. Unfortunately, according to Geek.com reviewer palmsolo, the BoxWave Active Case might let you see and use your Treo without exposing it to damage, but it's not very well built.
