I have to give an unfortunate "Thumbs Down" for the Seidio hard case. I got one back in January for my new Centro... love the way it fits and feels.

However, after removing the case to remove the battery for a soft reset a number of times (Grr, bad design decision, Palm!), one of the tabs that snaps the case together broke off. Annoying, but the case still stayed on the phone okay. I stopped using Opera

so I no longer had any resets.

BUT... this past week, the two bottom snap tabs--on both sides!--started to crack. When they both go, I doubt the case will stay on the phone any more. Very disappointing as I've only had the case 4 months. I would expect it to last way longer than that. The snap tabs simply aren't designed with enough durability.

I'll probably be looking for a cheaper silicon case soon. Too bad, the Seidio had a lot of other things going for it.
