Visor Phone, Prism Screen Cover

I get to pay more stupid tax! Some how I dialed my folks number when I got out of the truck. Dad really appreciated the 5:45 am call. Anyway, he hung up after not hearing anybody on the phone. However, my visor phone kept on clocking. 110 minutes of my 100 minutes per month down the drain.

My prism cover won't fit with the phone in. I don't want to lock the phone with a password. It takes long enough to get it out of the case when the phone rings. I'd never get the password entered in time.

Does anybody know of a good case or cover that will fix this? Let's see at 10 cents a minute I can afford a pretty good case.

Yep, I had this problem too. But I use the Palm OS lock, not the VisorPhone lock. You can still answer calls while it's locked. And you can remap the grafitti stroke (one broad stroke up from the grafitti area up to the middle of the screen) to turn off & lock the device. It's easier than reaching for the power button! You can keep your password nice and short since this is more for protecting from yourself.
I'm still looking for the perfect case, though. Maybe I'll plant a few hints round holiday time for the Vaja. <g>

I had the same problem. My case is the Neoprene Handspring case that has a clip together belt loop. The top can be pulled around the antenna, but I cut a hole in mine and stitched around the hole with a sewing machine. The hole for the antenna is an oval so it goes over the antenna easily. Next I cut half of the top clip off of the screen cover and it fits with the phone in. And the entire thing fits in the case on my hip. It is hard to hear the phone ring through the Neoprene, so I us the vibrator and sound together. Making the cover no longer clip on could be seen as a bad thing, but I have found that I always cary it in the neprene case and the moment I take it out of the case I want the cover off. With the top clip removed it comes of imeediately and with the case on my belt I have a place to put the cover. I am happy with this set up, but it is not perfect. (What Is?)
