It should however, be able to cushion a hard fall onto concrete. The RhinoPak 1000 is a great carrying case . I usually strap it to my belt. Extraction of the Palm is easy since I can unzip the whole case without having to worry about the Palm V dropping down. The Palm V is safely secured to the case by the 4 rubber straps.
Insertion is also very easy .
My other complaint about the RhinoPak 1000 is that the exterior mesh seems to be vulnerable to wear and tear . I've used it for less than 1 month and there's already a tear in the mesh. Tear and tears. Wahh .sob . Point to note At the time of review, it is discovered that the RhinoPak 1100 has replaced the RhinoPak 1000.
