Thanks, Geraint. That's helpful, that you say it's easy and quick to unclasp
and unfurl. I'm probably going to carry it in a pocket, not my belt. So, for
me, it's between the Piel Frama - which both looks nicer and may give more
protection (precisely since there is a clasp) - and the Sena. I'm not
interested in Bob's arrangement - the lateral belt pouch is of no interest
to me, and the silicon glove offers really minimal protection (or none). I
want a case that it stays in permanently - if I drop it, it will be while
I'm holding it for use or getting hold of it.

The Sena still looks that little bit easier to get at and flip open, but
might open of its own "volition". I'll mull it over another few days, then
decide. Too bad I can't see the real items somewhere, and compare. Where I
live there isn't even anywhere that has the Treo in stock - if the Cingular
store(s) had it I could have just swapped over my dead one for a new one.
Instead I had to "buy" another one which is arriving tomorrow, then ship the
dead one back for a refund.
