I noticed that when I bought it... but if you look, it is symmetrical in the case design.

Typo - I meant Prism/Visorphone Case

I meant to write Prism/Visorphone Case. Sorry for the typo.
Again, you need to e-mail the designer, mike_e at their ebcases domain ;-) so they know you are interested.

I cancelled my order. I don't feel like paying for shipping just to test my luck. I was already burned on a Vaja Case and that situation.

But, I did write an email to Mike asking for info about the Minstrel Case... if this keeps up I am just going to scrap the Minstrel and get a Visorphone since no one believes the Minstrel audience is larger than the Visorphone.

The E&B case should fit the Minstrel S. I have the Handspring Sport Case and the antenna fits perfectly where the Visorphone antenna would be. With the large cut out in the top of the E&B case, the Minstrel S antenna should have no problem fitting in the slot. If I didn't already have the Sport Case, I would order this one.

I don't think the visorphone case will fit the Minstrel S. From pictures of the Minstrel S and visorphone, it appears as though the Minstrel extends farther down the back of the visor than the phone module. From one of the posted pictures of the visorphone case, there appears to be stitching that limits how far down a module can extend down the back of the visor, leaving the bottom half of the back of the visorphone case for a pouch to hold the headset. This picture should better explain what I am referring to:

I think we have established this in the conversation. I was going to give it a good college try but decided I would rather hold on to the wasted money instead of sitting with a useless case.

What we need to do though is write mike at ebcases and tell him we are interested.

Sorry, looks like I missed that one post. However, I started a new thread with some new information. I received an email from "Mike E" of ebcases.com yesterday and he said a slipper case for the Prrism/Visor + Minstrel will be out later this month.

Received the same message earlier this week or so.

I gave him huge credit for getting back to me, and promised him he would have my sale.

When I saw their site, they said that they will release the case on March 30th or sooner.

I know. I have checked almost everday.

But now that I just received my PPC and WinCE devices from work, I have been able to control my impulses.

Akur:

Let us know how you like it. The case looks promising on the website. I'm going to hold off a bit getting one - mostly because I just shelled out some dough for the regular Slipper for my Prism, and I'm trying to limit my case purchases to one a month.

My wife wishes that last line was a joke.

Just ordered the Visor-Minstrel case.

Does anyone know the quality of the leather. Do the pictures do no justice to the quality?
