4.0 out of 5 stars the devil's in the details..., October 17, 2000

This review is from: Incipio Handspring Visor Case (Arctic Armadillo Silver Velvet) (Office Product)

This is a nifty little product...with a few minor irritations. If I could do halves, I'd give it 3 1/2 stars. As it stands, I'll give it a qualified 4.

I bought this because I've always been in search of the perfect wallet...I hate carrying purses (I go for the kind that sling across my front so I don't know they're there), but I don't always wear jeans. Basically, I wanted something that would hold my Visor, cash, id, debit card, and all of the assorted plastic flotsam and paper jetsam that I seem to accumulate while going about my everyday business.

I obsessively researched every carrying case I could find on Yahoo Shopping, the Handspring site, and Amazon, and settled on this bad boy. It looked perfect -- funky, fuzzy, and secure...and it is.

I love the strap, it holds plenty of cash and scraps of paper. I was able to transfer all 12 of my various plastic cards into the pockets, and there's a sewn-in sleeve that you slip the plastic Visor cover through so that you can socket the thing in either face up or face down.

"Sounds great," you say "so what's the problem?" Well, it all has to do with the zipper. See, the zipper goes all the way around the case -- too far around, as far as I'm concerned. Sometimes it gets a bit buried in the spine of the case, and I have to spend a few seconds digging it out. This isn't a big problem, but it can get annoying when I'm trying to get my credit card out to pay for groceries and there are 6 people behind me in line.

The other zipper problem is that it's a bit too snug -- the designers really should have added about a half an inch to the length and width of the case to prevent the zipper's getting stuck while it goes around the corners. As it is, I sometimes have to shift the Visor up or down a bit before the zipper will clear (it feels kind of like moving back and forth to settle into a parallel parking spot).

These problems are annoying enough that I'm considering returning the case, even though I really like it, but I won't do it until I've found something else that holds everything and fits in my pocket (there's a bit of a bulge, but my roomie says that it's nothing too noticeable -- of course, I tend to wear my jeans loose).

If you're looking for something that will hold lots of cards, has a secure zipper and carrying strap, and is funky in a not-made-of-animals/"I'm-not-*really*-a-grown-up-even-if-I-sometimes-act-like-one" kind of way, this might be for you. It all depends on how much the zipper thing bugs you.

Anyway, hope this helps. Like I said, it's a nifty little case, but the devil's in the details...

3.0 out of 5 stars Smaller than I expected, but small is good, right?, September 18, 2000

This review is from: Incipio Handspring Visor Case (Soft Zebra Print) (Office Product)

I was looking for a compact case, but this was a bit smaller than I expected. There is no room here for extra batteries if you like to carry spares, and a standard pen or mechanical pencil will be too long to fit in here either. That said, my case seems well made, with solid stitching and a heavy duty zipper.

The retention system is not clearly explained in the description, so here goes... it's a sleeve of fabric inside the cover that you slide the Visor cover through, so the top and bottom are exposed. Then the Visor snaps into its own cover, either face up or face down. With it face up, for use, it is a tighter fit, but it feels sufficiently secure.

By the way, the zebra print is on a fuzzy fabric that feels like you would expect a fake zebra to feel. Adds a nice touch of kitsch to the case.

1.0 out of 5 stars Turns Visor on.., December 5, 2000

"[e-mail]" (Lincoln, NE United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Incipio Handspring Visor Case (Black Nylon) (Office Product)

I got this case, and although the features were wonderful, the drawback was that it would keep turning my Visor on. I tried many different programs to keep my Visor off - but it zips up so tight, it even put pressure on the power button.

I went through so many batteries I finally went back to my old case.
