I strongly second Mark Eagle's wish that the cover fit FIRMLY to the Visor case.
Also, another BIG note: After "USING" the Flip Clip and Palm III emulated lid for two weeks, I notice that the Flip Clip itself eases up and out of position as time passes by. So, every once in a while you need to "push it" back into place. Any chance you can incorporate "grips" that take advantage of the Visor's own louvered casing to grip the case more firmly? Clip's nice, but it slips upward as time goes by. Thanks.

Still have received only half my order. Guess the remainder is enroute?

Look closely and you'll see two little grips, one on each side of the Flip-Clip, about 2/3 from the top.

Mark, if you look at where the up/down buttons would be on the Fliplid, it appears to be concave on the inside (I know it's only a sketch). That would mean that they took into account even the possibility of those buttons being depressed with the cover closed. If this is the case, then the cover would have to be prefectly flush with the top of the visor.

those arent just sketches. these are actual screen captures from our beta CAD design. We will be begining on the die work soon.

here's one that will calm some concerns about fit.

No wonder your name is Eagle. It's your eyes!! Yep, I looked and there they are! Now, if only they actually gripped the casing. Mark, I'll assume you have one of these flip clips? Or, well, anyone can answer this... Even with the tiny (and, man, they ARE TINY) grips cast into the flip clip, mine still rides up over time. Sastian, any chance of beefing up the interior grips on the clip?? PLEASE?? Thanks. BTW that CAD rendering looks VERY COOL. My girlfriend wants one now!!

Yes, I have a Flip-Clip. The only time if rides up is occasioanlly when slipping it into my Handspring Sport Case. Other than that, it seems fine. Don't get me wrong, it will slip if I intentionally try, but its not really a problem otherwise.

Use double stick tape

Sanchan,
I have had the same problem. I keep my Visor loose in my front pocket and pulling it in and out a few times had my cover at least one "notch" loose, if not more. I read somewhere (maybe earlier in this thread - I wish I knew who to give credit to) that using double stick tape worked well. So I tried this and it TOTALLY solved the problem. I put two small pieces of tape on both sides of my Visor, above the ridged sections, and then slid the clip on. Granted you might end up with a slightly sticky Visor but it is nothing that could not be removed if desired. Plus, if you are like me, you love the Flip-Clip enough to never take it off and so the problem is not a problem at all. It seems to me that without physically attaching the clip in some way it will always be somewhat loose, and I believe that that is a feature not a bug

.

Sastian,
Any projected date on the Flip-Lid? It looks really nice and I can't wait to get this PalmIII lid off my Visor before it goes on strike out of protest

.

Copy that, rda, the "removeability" IS a feature. I'm like you. My intention is to make the Flip Clip/Lid a "permanent" accessory to the Visor. So, may take that double sided tape route. Echo rda's question: Sastien, know when in Q1 you're anticipating release of the Visor-specific lid. My Visor IS looking to strike (It thinks it's better than that lid!)

Hi all !!
im new to the forum ( just upgraded my VDX to a prism ) and of course got the minstrel modem so of course my visor doesnt fit in my old case... i was SO excited when i saw the flip lid .. i went to the website, thinking, ok ill get one for me and one for my boss (for his birthday).. i could have died when i read the indigo was out of stock ..
thats when i decided that once they are available again..

i HAVE to have not only in the indigo that matches my prism, but i'm thinking in colors to match my outfits

LOL !!! switch the faceplate on my NOKIA and the flip cover on my Visor !!

For those of you wanting a more permanent Flip-Clip, you might want to try a few tiny dabs of clear silicone to hold it in place. I haven't tried this myself, but a dab on the lower end of each side of the Flip-Clip and one at each of the triangular spots on the top should probably hold it rather well without looking too bad, either. It should also allow for fairly easy removal without a lot of residue should you ever want to take it completely off.

Lids back in stock!

For those of you who have been in a holding pattern, waiting for us to get the Indigo lids in stock, well we finally have them in. We also received other colors on back order, such as purple. As far as the Flip-Lid� is concerned, we are moving right along with our development. We hope to have first runs in 6-8 weeks. thanks for all of your patience.

Loving it!

The Tacilis solution has made me a happy Vdx camper. I envied the Palms with their Flip covers and somewhat disliked the Vdx's clip cover. Once I read the review here at VisorCentral, I rushed to the site and bought the combo. Waited a 2 wks and here it is. Love it. Haven't seen the issue of the Clip slipping off. Only improvement would be to make the lid flush with the body of the Visor instead a slight curve. I think this has already been noted on their web site for future runs.

Wondering if one should get one.... For $14.70 DO IT!

Hi Sastian,

yeah this baby is really looking good and I would really love to order it but till now your website does not allow international order.
When will I be able to place my order here from Germany? I am really desperately waiting....
Is is such a big deal to charge credit cards international?

Hope you can help me.

Take care
Chris
