Prism wallet

Hello,

I used the standard Handspring leather wallet for my Prism so far -the one with the 3 card slots and the velcro tag- until this happened:

Apparently this wallet is the same that is used for the Deluxe. Only difference is the sewed in clamp for the Prism which sticks out more and makes the cover to fit tigher over the screen.

This can cause an unwanted switching on of the Prism, when the cover is slightly pushed upon and so pushes the main switch.
This happened to me the other day, when some object in my briefcase accidently pushed on the cover after closing and switched on the Prism. Luckily I noticed it in time, just before the battery wore out...

So now I'm back with the standard slip case.....

Just wanted to share this experience with you....

I hear you

My wife got the zipper custom case with her Deluxe a year ago. She stuffed the card slots and found her VDx dead everyother time she pulled it out of her purse. The case was pressing on the power button and draining the batteries. I finally convinced her to use the free slipper case and she has not had any problems since.
