A great deal of my opinions are based on having used innopocket's case for Treo 650 for more than a year.  This is my "old case."  My new case is Smartphone Experts Safeguard Metalcase.

Pros:  

• It is incredibly slick looking.  Silver, shiny, pretty.  It looks much prettier than my old case.  
• Thinner.  My old case had SD card slots.  I stopped carrying any cards in it when they started falling out.  This case saved the space and thus is that much slimmer.

Cons:

• I have no idea how dents and scratches will appear on it.  Have not had sufficient to judge.  So far, none have appeared to mar the surface.
• The hinge is sharp.  The hinge on my old case would never catch on anything, was smooth in my hands.  This hinge sticks out and while it has not yet caught on anything, I can see the potential for wear and tear on pockets.
• My old case had a double hinge.  The cover, when open, could potentially bend completely behind the back of my case.  It flopped a bit when I was playing games.  This was lovely for playing sudoku as I am going to sleep. My new case is... not.  It opens like a book.  Which means that the cover sometimes gets in my way when I am holding it open and using the touchscreen while laying on my right side.  
• I could easily open my old case with one hand.  This one... sticks.  And is pokey ( =  hurts my fingertips).  I can open it one-handed, but it is considerably more difficult.  If I was not accustomed to opening a case like this one-handed, I probably would not be able to open this one.

Do I recommend it?  Ummmm...  There is no real full-coverage case competition out there.  While it is the only one, yes.  As soon as one more like my last case comes out, I will replace this one in a heartbeat.

Note:  I believe that the 680 case is also compatible with Treo 750 and 755.
