Summary: More than just a case
Review: Navy blue velvet swirls give this case a feminine, non-geeky look snazzy enough for evening wear. My Visor fits snugly inside along with about 7 credit cards and a driver's license. There's room for about 15 bills in the folding money compartment. More than that and it's too thick to zip.

To secure the Visor in the case, the hard cover is slipped under a wide nylon strap and then the Visor is snapped in. No Velcro, easy to snap out, but no more hard cover protection over the buttons and screen. So don't overstuff the case, squeeze it over the buttons, or put it in a tightly packed briefcase, or you may accidentally turn the Visor on.

The outer case is stiffer than a typical wallet, and fits comfortably in your hand while open, serving as a mini desk while using the Visor. Since the case is too stiff to completely lay flat, I prefer to snap the Visor out when I'm working at my desk. I don't have trouble removing the stylus, but I have small fingers. It might take a little practice if you have sausage fingers or long nails.

This is a good quality product. It completely encases my Visor, so it is better protected from water, dust, or the lint in my briefcase. If only there was room for my lip gloss.

Summary: Love it, always gets looks
Review: Sure, my handspring is an older model, but whip out this hot little case, and the heads turn. Everyone wants to touch it. It doesn't just look cool, those waves in the picture, they are textured, you can feel them. :)

I love blue, I have a blue handspring, and it looks hot in this little blue number. I agree with some other reviewers, it's a slightly tight fit, but other than that, its good. I keep my business cards in the case with my handspring, those pockets are quite convenient as well. It's never been hurt, accidentally dropping it out of my purse or what have you, I attribute that 100% to the case. Good design, Super Stylish, A+

Summary: Cute but shoddy.
Review: The best thing about this case is the cute fabric. But there's no way around it: the thing is poorly made. The inside looks like a 99-cent wallet, with its stiff plastic card window and cheap-o wallet slots. The velcro tabs are badly placed: for a secure fit, you'd have to cover part of the springboard cover on the Visor. And of course there's the zipper, which is as crummy as the rest and barely fits around a Visor. I'm returning it today.

Summary: it drains my batteries!
Review: the incipio visor case was a big let down! i only had to use it for three hours to realize that it is not designed very well.

i suppose the other reviewers have not noticed that when the case is zipped closed, if you put the slightest amount of pressure on it, then it presses the buttons on the visor and the visor subsequently turns on.

the pressure i am talking about happens during normal carrying conditions.

furthermore, the seams on the pockets rub against the screen -- so as you are walking with the case in your hand, it turns itself on and begins to select programs from the home screen (the pressure on the screen selects the programs).

i realized this when i heard a faint clicking noise (i have my system sound set to low). i unzipped the case only to find my visor trying to hotsynch!

i bought it yesterday (1-31-2002) and i am returning it today. i wish i had not spent so much on expedited shipping.

Summary: Great product, but not perfect
Review: The Incipio Ballistic Nylon Visor Case is a great product, but it is not perfect. You can bang it around on a hard surface, and not hurt the Visor. I used to use a leather carrying case, but I droped it once and had to have the Visor replaced. The Visor has survived like drops in this case and has come through unscathed. I use it as my wallet now because I can carry around everything that I need in it. The money pocket is large enough to hold much more than your bills. I use it to carry around checks and other small documents without having them come out all wrinkled and crinkled, as with my regular wallet.

I do not understand the first reviewer's complaint about the product. I use my Visor just fine without removing it from the case. The protective cover that comes with the Visor is used to secure it in the case without having to use a sticky velcro and marr the back of the Visor, as with most generic PDA cases out there.

Two complaints. First, there is not enough room for that many credit cards. Putting more than four cards in the pockets cause it to bulge too much when closed. But my major concern is that the seam on the edge of the clear ID pocket presses on the Datebook button and turns on the Visor sometimes. Other than these, it is a great product that I would recomend to all Visor sers.

Summary: Worth buying.
Review: The visor deluxe has a tendency to wiggle while inside the case, even if the whole thing is zipped up, but other than that it's quite satisfactory. I had it loose in a briefcase and it bounced around completely uninjured. The nylon is also good for ironing patches on.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A pretty enticing case.
Review: This case is much more beguiling than the standard leather cases out there. Just look at it - doesn't it yell "I'm not like everybody else" (a reference to an old Kinks song). My friend calls this my "glam" case. It has a fairly stable plastic shell inside that wild fabric, which has a velour-like feel to it, but is surprizingly gunk-resistant (as tested by my 2-year old). The edges extend over the corners of the visor, and the zipper helps protect the outer corners to boot. I have 2 small problems with this case, thus the reason I did not give it a 5 score - (1) it is hard to get the stylus in and out of the stylus pocket, and (2) sometimes when you are zipping the case up, you have to slide the visor back up so as to get around the corner. I think the last one might be solved by making the pocket for holding the cover where you snap the visor in a little wider (if any incipio people are out there).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nearly perfect case!
Review: This case looks sharp, holds the Visor well, holds cards, currency, etc. (there is a HUGE pocket across the entire inside), and does a great job protecting against shocks and casual water exposure.

My two biggest concerns about it are:

1. The big pocket. Opening the big pocket wide (to get money out of it, for example) presses against the Visor mount and allows the Visor to pop off. And you'll need to open it wide because it is so big that the bills settle deep down inside it.

2. It is just a bit too big to easily be carried in a pocket. it offers a wrist strap, but it is hard to carry in a pocket, small fanny pack, etc., and you canot easily attach it to a belt, etc. This is NOT REALLY A PROBLEM if you are used to carrying a paper-based planner anyway, or plan to carry it in a purse, briefcase, etc.
