I ordered the leather belt clip for Visorphone directly from Handspring. Took them a week to ship it, for some reason.
It's not bad... the leather seems to be fairly good, and it fits the Edge + Visorphone reasonably well, given that it's also designed to fit the larger Visors. Part of the Visorphone hangs out over the back of the case, and a Velcro flap fastens over it... I'm not sure how long the Velcro will hold up. A transparent panel lets you see the status light and the position of the ring volume switch. The case has perforations above the speaker and microphone, and the phone button is exposed, so it's possible to answer the phone without taking it out of the case. However, it's easy to pull the machine out quickly when you need to.
The swivel belt clip appears to be based on The Clip's design. I can't tell how sturdy it is, but hopefully it's possible to use The Clip to repair it if necessary. And it may be necessary... I'll be using it heavily, and I'm notoriously clumsy; sooner or later I'll catch the case against a doorframe or some piece of furniture, and I guarantee that something will give.
