I'm dumping my trusty old Palm V for a new TX, which is enroute. At $266 I couldn't afford NOT to. I have two questions:

1. I'm looking for a metal case that will open either flip-top or book fashion (I don't care which) AND that has a top that will fold ALL the way back and lie flat against the back of the TX when opened. This probably means the case would have to be "double-hinged" to allow the foldback to happen. I don't need a bunch of credit card and SD card pockets, so that's not a concern, although connectivity openings would be a handy feature. I've worn out the web looking with no luck. Anybody know of a case like this?

2. I've ordered a 1GB SD card for this thing. Can I leave it in the slot all the time without seriously affecting battery life?

Thanks.
