Summary: Fabulous!
Review: I absolutely love this case! I have previously used the Handspring leather wallet and the Handspring sport case and the Incipio is definitely superior. The case doesn't lay completely flat, but it's broad enough to allow use of the Visor while it's still in the case. I don't feel like I'm fighting it.

If you read a lot of docs on your Visor it also turns it into more of a "book" for reading in bed. You can't over cram it with other stuff, but it will hold some bills and about 6 or 8 cards comfortably. The design is particularly tight and attractive. On the Giraffe print in particular, note that the background color is beige, not white like the Zebra. I'm pretty happy!

Summary: Great Case
Review: I have this Visor case as well as the Hawaiian print version. I love them. They make it easy to identify my Visor if I've left it laying next to my husbands. It's fun to be able to coordinate the Visor to my purse or outfit.

It protects the Visor well. My only problem is that occationally it's hard to get the pen out of the Visor. It's not difficult enough for one not to purchase it, however.

Summary: great case for price
Review: I've had this case for 6 months now, and it has held up great. I use the visor right in the case, graffiti and all, and really only take it out to hotsync and change batteries. I actually dropped my visor (in the case) from a height of about 4 feet and it came away unscathed. I haven't had the problems others have mentioned: too small, zipper in the way, cheap looking, etc. I have tried others and will stick with this case. If I had to find one drawback, it would be that springboard modules that extend past the visor will not fit. I don't use them, so it gets a perfect score from me.

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: 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.

Rating: 4 stars
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: 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.
