-- yet another way to carry Visor (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=12285)

check out www.force.com

although they don`t have one for Visor, it is nice way to carry your handheld.

the only concern is stylus... how am I gonna make it stay with Visor if it`s upside down.


anyway, tell me what you think, or better, tell them what you think and ask let`s ask them to make one for us.


u-key

It seems like the visor doesn't get very much protection. I think that I would like to keep my Visor close to my body (I just feel alittle warmer that way).

Talking Hello, my name is "VISOR"

Be great if it came with a "My Name is" app.. Hang it around your neck at conferences with your name showing.. Of course, it would have to display upside down :0

I'd prefer something that actually encased the Visor and somehow kept it from swinging around.. I have visions of turning around to quickly and losing both a Visor and someone's eye.. aside from the synch-latch not being all that reliable looking...

go ahead, make my case...

come to think of it, how come we don't see anybody come up with gun-holster type carrying solution? I have a pouch with belt loop, but shoulder holster would be nice.

at restaurant, or at the meeting, when I am sitting at the table, sometime it's hard to get it out from any belt case (with style, that is), and if I have it in the pocket of my jacket, it goes with jacket when I take it off.

having them around neck seems to be one form of solution for that, although I kinda agree with "protection" and "swinging" issues, and I don't think I'm gonna eat at some nice restaurants with Visor hanging from my neck instead of tie.

I think shoulder holster wouldn't be nice idea at places like airport, but just like The Rambler was saying, I wanna have my orange little thing close to my body.

...if it's only the size of cigarette pack, I wouldn't need no case....

u-key

...after I wrote this, I found someone talking about
e-holster (www.e-holster.com) on the other thread, which looks pretty close to what I was thinking.

Cool

There is a more modestly priced alternative to the E-Holster, the Landware BurroPak

I'm wearing one right now

Talking nice!

thanks Winchell!!

let me ask some; do straps on your holster cross at the center of back? is the case part detachable(I just don`t need cellphone part)? do you think it`s comfortable to wear that in hot summer?

see, I`m getting serious about it!

Cool

The BurroPak is much more limited than the E-Holster (but is much cheaper).
The BurroPak has one pouch, with two pockets. Currently I am carrying my Prism in the outer pocket, and a Stowaway keyboard in the inner pocket.

The E-Holster has several pouches.

Both the E-Holster and the BurroPak allow one to detach the pouches.

The BurroPak's straps do cross in the center of the back. They attach to a small vertical bar, which is padded for comfort.

It hasn't really bothered me in the hot summer.

It is a little conspicuous if you are wearing a light colored shirt. I habitually wear black T-Shirts, and the BurroPak blends in quite nice nicely. Many people don't even notice that I am wearing it.

But do NOT make a quick grabbing motion for your Visor if you are around armed individuals who are nervous! It does resemble a sholder holster.

So who has the quickest Visor in the west? I reckon I do.

He he he! OK- I buy a small GameBoy-like device, then, in order to carry it comfortably and safely, I get a $30+ dollar rapid-draw holster for it?

Sounds like a great punch line developing in there somewhere!

I appreciate the idea of the 'necklace' version, and I doubt the 'swing out and hit someone' scenario would occur if you tuck it inside your shirt or into a shirt pocket. The idea of carrying stuff around the neck is pretty common for hikers, and military/police around the world who even carry guns that way! Many people carry their valuables in neck pouches- this seems a logical solution to me.

I LOVE the idea of turning the screen into a big ID badge! I can just see an electronic bill-board-like message crawling over the bottom of the nametag.

hmmmmmm .... go to your closet, get out some of those wide ties that you know will be back in style any day now. Some quick work on the reverse side with scissors and some thread and you can make yourself your own visor pouch. As a side bonus all the gravy & ketchup ends up on the tie where it belongs and not on the visor

just kidding i think <lol>
