Thanks to Laurens for pointing us to this 1src link (http://www.1src.com/?m=show&id=510):

Offered by J&R (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00062FL42/104-6610347-7803104?v=glance&s=merchant&n=3330411&m=A3LJ5WMKNRFKQS&me=A3LJ5WMKNRFKQS&vi=pictures&img=1), the PalmOne 3175WW Hard Case shows a Tungsten T5. The case sells for $39.88.

Looks very stylish :)

Ah, this looks great for those of us who have and love T|Es. It looks just the same, except with a full screen instead of the silkscreened area, just what I've been craving almost since I got the T|E. Although to be honest, this is what I was hoping to see on the T|E2, though latest rumors say that that unit will not have a full screen.

The buttons are interesting: home, calendar, contacts, and what's the last one? I can't make out what it's supposed to be. Does Cobalt have a "Today" page like PPC? That would be pretty cool.

It kinda looks like a file button. Maybe they've integrated file management into the OS ala ZLauncher. That would be sweet.

I hope it isn't that same faux metal sheeting-on-plastic that all of Palm's previous hard cases were.. those last about 2 weeks in real-world usage (and aren't crushproof).

Looks like someone at Amazon.com screwed up ;) The link has now disappeared again.

I have another nice screenshot attached which shows the T5 on a portable keyboard.

It still looks like a file icon button to me.
