Since the introduction of the Palm Treo 650 back in 2004, it has been at the top of the smartphone list. It packs a whole lot of features into a small package and it makes phone calls!

The retail price of the Treo 650 comes in at about $450 if you do not sign up for one of the promotional deals through a carrier. With such a steep price, it's surprising how some users don't protect it enough. There are many types of cases, from clip ons to very basic rubber slip on cases.

Today, we have the Sena Treo 650 lateral case for review. Featuring high quality leather and a magnetic strap, it's quite a versatile pouch. Sena doesn't just specilize in Treo cases, they also make various cases for devices like iPods and Sony PSPs all with their quality leather design.

Some features of the case:

• Compatible with TREO 600, TREO 650, TREO 700w and TREO 700p
• Slim Design
• Padded Protection
• Hidden Magnetic closure
• Integrated belt clip

Sena included a carrying pouch to hold the case. Not exactly sure why they would include a pouch to hold a case, but I suppose it's a nice extra if there was ever a need.

Although not mentioned on the Sena case site, there are two external SD card holders. The card sits really tight in the holders which prevent them from popping out.

The opening flap is held shut by two strong magnets. Instead of using a button type clip, the magnet method makes it much easier to open and close.
