Case recommendation for Prism?

Hello...I just bought my first PDA, a Visor Prism, this past week. And I love it!

I also ordered a MiniJam MP3 Springboard module, and may eventually get a VisorPhone for it as well.

With that in mind, I'm looking around for a case with the following requirements:

- A belt clip and/or loop so I can "wear" it.
- Space inside for the Prism, a Springboard module or two, credit cards and cash (I'd like to use it as my wallet as well).
- Preferably no velcro (but easy to remove to dock in cradle).
- Zipper enclosure so no chance of Prism ever falling out when shut.
- Ability to operate the Prism and type Graffiti easily without removing it from the case.
- Small profile.
- Under $50

Any such beast? Recommendations?

Thanks!

Dave

Tough set of criteria, and you may find that no one case will cover it all.

The Rhinoskin 1100 fits most of your criteria, although it will not hold a big module.

Pouches come closer to meeting your needs. The www.newsungear.com 'tech' pouches or www.GrinderGear.com's BaseCamp will hold what you need, but then you have to use the device unprotected, OR use a slim-line case (like the E&B Slipper) and slip the case in the pouch.

Personally- I like this option. I carried my Prism in a Vaja case and slipped the package into a NewSun pouch where I also had a spare pen/stylus, screen wipes, eyemodule (although MiniJam would have fit as well!), and between the pouch and case- plenty of room for cards, cash, etc.

New Sun's have an innovative belt attachment that is easy to remove and quite secure, and the Satillite (the one I have) has a big, easy access flap. The GrinderGear BaseCamp is another great option that I used and love- but a Prism in a case is a bit snug in this one!

Thanks Madkins007. I also found the following:

which seems to be what I'm looking for. However, from the pictures it looks like it would be hard to enter anything into the Prism with it still in the case, unless it can be flipped around the other way (look at the following image to see what I mean).



But overall, this seems to be the case that fits my needs. Anyone out there with this case that can chime in with their experience? Or are there other cases that will work for me too?
