[missing-sync-palmos-talk] [OT] Cases

[Geraint Smith]

You're very welcome, Paul. In fact, if you are keeping one of the Piel 
Frama cases in your pocket it doesn't matter too much if you don't even 
do up the popper because they sit naturally closed. Then all it takes 
is a quite flick (Star Trek style, to take up an earlier theme!) to 
open it as it comes out of your pocket. And it's also worth saying that 
after a couple of years' use the leather (mine are both just plain 
black which looks great) looks even better than it did new.

Actually, I take that back. You're not welcome at all, and I am really 
annoyed with you. After seeing your question, I wanted to check what 
the Piel Frama range was now before I put pixel to screen, so I had a 
look at the website - and promptly spent megabucks (OK, I exaggerate, 
but you know what I mean) on a case for my iPod, which I didn't know 
they made. And it's all your fault. ;^)

Oh, well, it all goes to help the Spanish economy, I suppose.

Take care.

Geraint.
