I bought a Belkin and have not been too happy with it. It looks like it is metal, but I accidently dropped it early on, and broke off a tiny pin that holds a small piece on that looks like the "back of a book" when the keyboard is folded, so that piece is no longer is attached securely. It is definately a cheap brittle plastic, which is poorly constructed.

This is a pain, because it drains the battery since there is a little button that is compressed with the keyboard is closed that turns the battery off. That doesn't happen anymore on mine.

At first I had trouble making this work, but with greater experience with my PDA, I have been able to overcome that. It needs to be on a rather large flat surface to use it.

Another bummer...to use the stylus and store it back in the PDA...you hit the mirror for the IR everytime and knock it out of whack. I get in the habit of putting it back in the PDA between uses at other times...so it annoys me when I am using the keyboard.

Pluses, it does work in landscape, and you can attach the cord and plug it in while you are using it in landscape mode.

Hope this helps. If you buy one, protect it carefully from bumps!
